MILITIA WILL 60
ON SEA CRUISE

Orders will be issued from the navy
in Washington within
the next few days announcing the
most comprehensive training plan the
department has yet devised for the
naval militia of the various states.
In the middle of August every avail
able man in the service in the In
terror states will be brought east and
given his two weeks cruise aboard
a battleship.
The experiment was tried out on a
small scale last year, when detach-
ments from Wisconsin and Missouri
were allowed to get their training IN
salt air instead of cruising on the
Great Lakes or the Mississippi river.
It was so successful that the de-
partment decided to make 1t an an
nual affair in every way, which every
man in the service could participate.

During the first few weeks of the

operated carefully, apparently under

pectation that the administration
will recede from the determination
to break off diplomatic relations with
Germany if proved that a German
submarine attacked the Sussex, was
removed by news of the attack of the
Englishman off Eagle Point. Off

That the Mexican situation is Sc

of O. E. Bailey, formerly of this city,

his mother, Mrs. H. w. Bailey.
The letter in part reads:
Situation Serious. :.
while am not afraid nor alarm
ed over the situation in Mexico yet
the situation is serions, especially
with such poor excuse Of q presi-
dent. It may be that no war with
Mexico will come now but men who
have lived across the border and who
are acquainted with Mexican charac-
ter all agree that Intervention must
come and when it comes it will mean

poned, the more men we will lose.
