HITS At U. S. DEFENSE FOES
Declares That "Advocate Of Nonpro-
paredness Is As Dangerous an
Enemy - the Country Has"
Many Hear Address.

" Peoria, Ill.,, Feb. 23.-Maj Gen.
Leonard Wood, U. S. A., last night
made a stirring plea for prepared
ness Of men, mot in preparation for
war, but as insurance against it, in
a ~peech at the annual Washington s
birthday dinner of the Creve Occur
club in the Coliseum. A great audi
.ence heard him. Other speakers were
Henry D. Estabrook and Dudley Field
Malone, collector of the port of New
York.
General Wood confined his speech
to the value of the military instruc.
ton camps. from which, he said, he
hoped to see the army develop $4,000
officers for the reserve. He pointed
out how small even this number is
WHEEL compared to the $4,000 officers
that wore the blue in the Civil war.
80. To Commission Graduates.
These reserve officers" said Gen
,eral Wood, will, under the terms OF
the proposed bill, be commissioned of.
acers of the United States army, en-.
titled to wear the uniform, use their
titles, etc.
1t is particularly important that all
classes of men having the necessary
education should come to these
camps. 1t is most desirable that they
should not be considered in any sense
class camps, or camps intended for
men of more or less means; nothing
is further from the truth. These
camps are intended for all classes of
men who have the necessary educa-
tional qualifications to take up and
carry on the camp work intelligently.
Men Of All Kinds Wanted.
I'VE want men not only from the
~ universities, colleges and the profess
sions, but we want men from all
walks Of life who have enough edu-
cation to be able to take up the work
and carry it on effectively. We want
as many men as we can get from the
, ranks of labor, from the great body
of mechanics; we want to place in
these camps, shoulder to shoulder,
without a distinction, all classes Of
American men who have sufficient
education.
There has been some criticism Of
these camps on the ground that they
create thoughts of war through train
Ing men of war. They do, to GER
tain extent, but not SO much to war
as to preparation against it. The
I camps. are. not in preparation for war.
I They are an insurance against it..
sHs Hf2 Points to Great Peril.
&. Let us no longer heed the hypo-
critical cant that we cannot be strong
without being unjust, that we cannot
be prepared against aggression with
out becoming an aggressor; let us
face the situation squarely, honestly
and without fear, realizing that we
live in times of great stress, that our
ship is on a storm-swept ocean, and
that we must, as men on whom our
country's safety depends, while guard
ing our ideals, recognize and prepare
to meet conditions as they are.
Let us love peace, be fair and tol-
Grant, but let us not forget that these
will not protect us against aggression.
We must be prepared to help our

Desert OF Sand and Rock.

The greatest desert in the world,
the Sahara. is about as large as the
United States and Alaska together.
The sand areas in the desert are some
what larger than Alaska, and the
rocky tablelands forming most of the
desert are somewhat smaller than the
United States. In other words. the
Sahara is made up of about 100000
square miles OF sand and 100000
square miles of rock surface.

a theater, appealed from lower court

libel by the Tothers.
The Post used picture, supposed
to have been of the two BUrnstein
girls, Alice and Margaret. The Her

found out that the photographer for
the Post had grabbed off pictures Of
Lucy and Filimena TotheT, who hap
pened to be standing in front Of the
home of Old Man Morrison at HarTi-
son and Halsted.
Charges were made at this time
that the Burnstein girls were the il
legitimate children of the millionaire
Morrison and the pictures of the To-

caption over them.

He came squeaIing out of the big
red barn one day when the frost was
on the pumpkin and the fodder was
in the shock. He was a blamed cute
little thing, with much smOOthness
and curly little tail. They fed him
on garbage and he grew fast. Later
he became a papa himself. lie grew
nice and plump. He had served his
owner well So good-by, farmyard,
for this little pig.
ACT II.
The same little pig is now seen be-
ing prOdded into a stock car. He
takes a long ride and finally is herd
ed, with hundreds of other pigs, into
a big, dirty pen. He takes part in a
contest of seeing which pig can make
the most noise.
Then he trails along, with q lot Of
other pigs, down long passage way.
The poor farmyard pig doesn't know
what he's coming to. Shortly a big,
heartless man grabs him by the two
hind feet and runs a sharp hook
through them He swings about,
squeaIing like mad. He can hear
somebody sharpening something.
That's all Mr.. Pig remembers.
Somebody swung him around bit
and stuck that thing he heard being
sharpened into his neck.
What's left of Mr.. Pig is washed,
cut all to pieces and showed into va
rioUs big closed places. It is right
cold in these places. Lots Of FROST

The following article on rabies, its
history in Oregon, ETC., was prepared
by the state board of health:
In the late fall of 1910, rabies was
carried across the border line of both
the states of Washington and Oregon
bv " coyote. Entering as it did in the
/ Northwestern triangle of our state, It
spread by means of both domestic and
wild aHimlls in fan shape fashion un-
til there are now fourteen counties af-
fected, and condition most serious
confronts the authorities and people.
Just as a man may be called James by
another and third address him as
Jim. just so this disease is known by
different nanIes to different people,
depending upon which one they are
most familiar with. Thus we hear the
following names Of rabies. hydropho-
bia,, rage, rabbia. mad" animal,
rabid animal. all representing the
same identical disease.
The incubation OF subjects is
through the medium of the saliva of
the infected animal during the active
stages of the disease. However, II
has been found that some rabid ami
mails have been infected for a period
of from two to three days before the
first manifestations of the disease
rave presented themselves.
1t Is necessary for the saliva OF the
infected animal to get beneath the
skin of the subject, thus infection may
be caused by a bite or by the animal
licking the hand of its master, the
latter provided there has been pre-
vious abrasion or break in the skin.
The probability OF the subject being
inoculated is governed, to a large ex-
tent, by the situation and severity of
the injury, also whether the animal
has bitten through clothing or has at
tackled the bare skin.
The danger OF bite where the
fangs of the animal pass through the
clothing Is lessened because of the
wiping OF the saliva from the teeth. !
The incubation period Ia also infiu- !

Leaving out of consideration those
countries which are at war, and also
whose demands for our products are
entirely Independent Of any selling
efforts. We find from department of
commerce reports that for twelve
months ending with September, 1915,
our exports to nations at peace ap-
!proximately amounted to $s67,695,-
900 as compared with a total Of $685.
$4,000 in the corresponding period
in 1913. while the bureau was still
working under the system established
by Republicans This shows IA de-
crease of $117,43O,OOO.
In the face of this enormous loss of
export trade with nations at peace,
how can the department Of commerce
claim to have rendered any material
assistance in finding markets for our
goods?
What sort of reception would an
American travelling salesman find in
the head Office of his employer if he
came in with request for an increase
in salary on the plea that he had in
creased the company's business, when
the books of the company showed
decrease rather than an increase?
The company might increase the sal !

a new man to fill it.
