 TEACH MILITARY DUTY

During the coming summer, Mili- tary Training Camps for Civilians will be held throughout the United States These camps, like those which have preceded them, will be under the direction and control of the Regular Army and will be held by each de- partment commander as follows:
 The Eastern department. one camp each in New York and Georgia
 The Central department, one in h. diana.
 The Southern department, one in Texas
 The Western department, one each In California and Washington.
 It will be noticed that Texas is one Of the few states selected and Gem oral Frederick Funston, commanding the Southern department, has an- nounced that the camp will be held at Fort Sam Houston which adjoins the c.ty of San Antonio.
 Unquestionably the "Plattsburg" idea" las had great influence throughout the nation in developing the military obligation in the young men of the country. IL will. how ever. accomplish infinitely greater re- suits when organized and developed and before long will be a national and not a "Plattsburg idea" The students who attended the Gettys- burg camp of 1913 organized The So- cicty of the National Reserve Corps" fOr the purpose of promoting the training camp idea among college oinfauty md . .o,,,,l ,.,tI i;aiy policy: and those who attended inc business and professional mems camps at Plsttsburg and other points, have organized a similar society huown as The First Training Reg iment." With the purpose of coordi- uatipg and developing the common aims of these organizations, there has been organized the Military Training Camps Association of the United States" flor promoting a national so- cicty of training camps and for such other means as may be adviSa ble.' '' The membership of this new ma - tional association is restricted to men who have actually attended regular army military camps. It's member ship to begin with numbers 41O0 and it is expected that those who attend future camps will join the association so that the movement for Citizens Military Training will be promoted by single strong national organization This organization will steer clear oi political activities; and, as dstin- Suished from the national defense so- Cieties, will avoid legislative propa ganda and will devote itself eXclus. ively 10 the single purpose of encour

aging and providing military training for young men.
 In this connection it is interesting to note the number of young men in the United States who are capable Ui military service and therefore may be expected to attend these camps In the past winter. when the general staff of the army was making a study O. the military policy of the United States, which has since been pub lished. it asked the bureau of census for figures as to the number of men of this country who are Of military age. It was there learned that some thing over 900.000 young men become of age in the United States annually and that. at the present time, be- tween the ages of l9 and 4J, there are over four and one-haf million young men fit for military service. The actual male attendance in college in 1914 was 237.562 and in high schools 1.486. In addition to these there are at least 100000 young men in business and professions who might be expected to attend some sort of camp each year.

Barnum & Bailey Show Carries Elephant Modiste

"My modiste tells me they're wear
in 'em shorter than ever this season,
girls!"
Thus speaks the fastidious "Lady
LOU to her neighbors after returning
from fitting of a new and gorg-
eous gown. Her neighbors-forty of
'em, mostly girls-shake their heads
sadly and make strange noises signify
ing disapproval of this latest decree of
Dame Fashion.
"Lady Lou" and her forty neighbors
comprise the elephant herd of the
Barnum & Bailey cideus. but it is
doubtful if the much pampered pachy-
derms of India who participate so ex-
tensively in the famous Durbar, pos
sesses any more costly or gorgeous
wardrobes than do these elephants who
appear in the wonderful spectacle and
professions of the "greatest show on
earth,' which is to exhibit in Salem
on September 8.
The elephant modiste who designs
and prepares these wonderful robes has
quite an extensive job on her hands,
and it keeps her busy most of the time,
for, like all big people, elephants are
hard on their clothes, and their ward
robes are always in need of repairs. The
measuring of an elephant for new
robe is quite a difficult task in itself,
generally requiring the services of at
least two assistants and stepladder.
The amount of cloth required to drape

fastidious pachyderm would be
enough to make gowns for at least ten
women, and the amount of sewing
work on single elephant dress would
stagger the average modiste, unless she
was paid for her services by the hour.
There is one woman with the Barnum
& Bailey circus who does nothing else
but make and care TO the elephant
robes. In the winter time she designs
and prepares the costumes and during
the summer months, while the circus
is on the road, she travels with the
! show and packs and unpacks the ward
robe and attends to all necessary re-
pairs. She knows every elephant by
name, and is great favorite with the
herd.
Elephants are naturally proud ami
mails and they are exceedingly fond
of bright colors and brilliant display.
They enjoy being "dolled up" in their
gorgeous trappings, and they never re-
sent being measured for new gowns.
In the Barnum & Bailey street parade,
and in the spectacle procession, the
elephants are one of the principal
features, inasmuch as the herd is the
largest in captivity. There are three
troupes of wonderful performing ele.
plants who also appear in the arenic
performance. The entire herd appears
in the new, Oriental spectacular dis
play. "Persia, or the Pageants of the
Thousand and One Nights" which
opens each performance.

CATHOLICS RESENT
HINTS OF D|SLOYALTY
Claim German Catholics Are
Responsible for Criticism

New York, Aug. 22.-Delegates to the
American Federation of Catholic societ-
ties in convention here today were re-
sentful of the publicity given attacks
made upon President Wilson and his
administration, in meetings of the fed

! Too much stress has been laid upon
the meetings of the German Catholic
organizations, delegates said. 1t was
stated that the German organizations,
which criticised the administration s
foreign policy, represent but one-fiftieth

along the lines of what is known as the

gates from Massachusetts and other
New England states, here for the an

Boston plan is to make the diocese the

Francis Z. Slattery, of Boston, in an
address before the federation today.
"What more cunning move then, to
crush religion, than to charge its fol

turn against them the passions of pa

FIVE INSURGENTS
RETURN TO THE FOLD
Democrats Air Soiled Linen
and One Talks Like
Bowery Tough

Washington, Aug. 22-President
Wilson let it be known to callers to-
day that he will veto to the immigra-
tion bill again if it comes to him for
signature.
A short time later, the senate voted
32 to 23 to consider at once the reve-
nue. bill. This is believed to mean the
immigration bill will go over until
December.
The return to the regular democratic
fold of five of the ten democrats who
"insurged" in behalf of the immigra-
ton bill yesterday, was responsible for
the vote this afternoon to pass it over.
The rebellion against the caucus pro-
gram not to vote on immigration, sem
ate leaders believe, has been
smothered
The five senator's who switched back
are Beckham, Chamberlain, Culberson,
Lane and Overman. The five who re-
fused to return were Hardwick, Myers,
Vardaman, Smith of South Carolina
and Ashhurst.
The vote was ON motion to consider
the immigration bill ahead of the
revenue measure.
The victory was not accomplished,
however, without more airing of party
linen in continuation of the worst
fight within the ranks that has marked
the session.
Vardaman, Mississippi, bitterly ar
raigned Senator Stone as a "self
constituted censor of democratic prin-
ciples.'
81 would like to inquire, said
Senator Gallinger, Whether our demo-
cratic friends would care if we left
the chamber while they compose their
differencesl"
"You can go out of this senate and
stay out the rest of your life for all !
or anyone / know cares,' retorted
Myers of Montana.

DR. ]. F. LAGAN DESCRIBES CON
DTTIONS AND OTHERS AGREE.
Prediction Made That There win Be

Trip Is Now Difficult.

"The thing that Twin Falls people
want to do is to see that we get roads
that can be travelled and we will do
the rest for we have the stuff to do 1t
with, bu, if we do not get the present
impossible roads through Owyhee and

trade will 90 in that direction from a
camp which will have fully 1000 men
at work this summer" said DR.. ]. f.
Lagan Saturday, speaking to a repre-
sentative of The TIMES.
1T takes As hours at present to go
from Rogerson to Jarbidge, distance
of 70 miles," continued DR.. Lagan,
who came to this city to meet his wife
who was returning from visit IN
Sacramento, California, "and we have
to ride about one-fourth of that dis
tance in an auto, one-fourth on two
horse wagon, one-fourth on four
horse wagon and the last part of the
distance on horseback. Al Hudson
here can tell you the impediments in
the way, as he hauls freight out"
At this point in response TO ques-
tions Mr.. Hudson said that he had
been down nearly two weeks waiting
for the roads to get in condition so
that he could hope to get through. He
has three four-horse teams and one
six~horse team and declared his in
tention to start Tuesday from Rog-
erson. The last time that he went
out, Mr.. Hudson said it took him eight
days to travel over the 70 miles.
Resuming, DR.. Lagan added that the
prospects at Jarbidge were never Sc
good Between 300 and 400 men are
at work and this number will soon be
greatly augmented. Mills are installed
at the M. N. Muir property and at the
Buster" and the "Flaxy" mines. The
Bourne" will open about April
with 40 men, and the Long Hike,
where a good strike was recently made
will install a mill for the working o
free ore. DR.. Lagan said that he haf
consulted the county commissioner
of Twin Falls county relative to th'
Improvement of roads and found then
anxious to do all possible to fix them
but-the Owyhee commissioners did no
seem as yet willing to cooperate OF
the road in their county.
r. Swanson, who also lives in Jar
bidge, expressed surprise that tn
Owyhee commissioners had not show
more interest in the development Q
Jarbidge as it would bring plenty @
ranchers in and would help them pa
taxes, although from q trade point
view it would be less to the meI
chants in their towns than to thos
in this county.
All declared that the Elko peopl
we're alive to the situation and ha
made flattering offers in the way

direction.
