v. H. CLAY MAY BECOME
PATENT COMMISSIONER
Mr.. Ewing Will Not Accept Office
for Another Term, But Will
Recommend Assistant.

Lively interest in the possibility that
Francis W. H. Clay. the recently ap-
pointed assistant commissioner Of the
patent Office, may, in the event of the
reelection Of a democratic administra-
ton. become the head of that office, Is
being evidenced by the many friends
of the assistant commissioner among
the legal profession of Washington.
The basis for their representation
lies In the fact that. at recent meet
ing of the Bar Association Of Wash
ington, Commissioner of Patents
Thomas Ewing, announced that under
no circumstances would he consider a
proposition to hold once for another
term of four years.
Mr. Ewing either has or will in the
near future recommend Mr.. Clay to
the President as his successor, over the
head of Robert r. Whitehead. who was
made first assistant commissioner
simultaneously with the appointment
Of Mr.. Clay It is also definitely stated
that Commissioner Ewing has notified
Secretary Of the Interior Lane OF his
plans along these lines.
Mr.. Clay was appointed to the omce
in 1888 and served until 1900. when he
resigned. Originally from Kentucky, he
became a practicing attorney in Pitts
buYgh after his resignation. He was
expected to arrive in washington July
l. but has subsequently informed the
commissioner Of patents that he has
unavoidably been delayed and will
will Immediately take up his duties as
assistant commissioner.

When who want to go to the front
with such an organization as Troop A
will have to be on hand early. There
has been long waiting list for some
time. men just begging to be enlisted.
but because the troop was up to war
strength they could not be enlisted.
Now that the War Department officials
and the physical reflections have de-
pleted the ranks somewhat the or

GEN. YOUNG LAUDS
4 NATIONAL GUARD
Says Many Who Criticise the
Organization Are Living
Eh in Glass Houses"

1.-THE personnel of the National Guard
is being unjustly attacked Lieut.. Gen.
s B. NJ Young president Of the Assoc
citation for National Service. said today.
because the militia of Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona has failed TO
mobilize in sufficient strength for the
Mexican border patrol.
ITO begin with, the patrol OF tne
border and the entire Mexican situation
Is problem which should be handled
by the regular army. We should nave
a regular army of sufficient strength
not only to patrol the border, but 10
form the first expeditionary force that
would be sent into the country In the
event of intervention. Under the plans
of the War College. which have been
followed to a certain extent by the Dill
which has just passed both houses OF
Congress, the function Of regular
army is to handle just such situations
as exist now in Mexico and are apt to
develop there.
Duty Of Regular Army.
THE purpose of a regular army is
also to meet the first expedition that
any of the great powers would send,
in the event of an invasion of this
country The regular army should be
always kept at the highest state OF ef-
fciency ready for such emergencies
This is what is called the first line of
land defense. and it should be composed
of a regular army and its reserves.
1.-THE second line should be composed
Of citizen-soldiers. and the citizen
ch ha
and business. except in great war
where the fate of the nation is at stake
When that time comes we should not
depend upon the National Guard and
a few patriotic volunteers, but. carry
ing out the spirit of the Constitution.
the burden should be equally distrib-
uted upon the shoulders of all.
ITO my mind a national guardsman is
under no more obligation to serve the
country than any other citizen. Many
Of those who are heaping abuse upon
the heads of the National Guard are ltv-
ing in glass houses and should not be
casting so many stones. In the event
of a great war. we would have more
trouble in raising a large volunteer
army than the government is now e4-
periencing in securing sufficient force
Of national guardsmen to assist IN the
patrol of the border.
Argument for Military Training.
This is the reason that the Associa-
ton for National Service Is advocating
a military training policy which will
prepare every young man to respond
to the call of the country. 1t believes
that this can be brought about. with
out interfering with the economic con-
dittons of the country, and in a manner
which will develop a higher type Of
citizenship.
The situation on the border is only
another object lesson which demon
sttrates the weakness OF our volunteer
system. 1t is grave injustice to blame
the personnel Of the National Guard
for the weakness of our entire system

REPORTS DECLARED UNTRUE.
Officials Deny Rumor That Guards
men Are Not Properly Fed.

Published reports that national guards
men mobilized for border duty were not
being properly fed are denied in state
,nent issued by the War Department.
Although no official complaint to this
effect has been received the statement
says. the War Department has investi-
gated these alleged instances and can
report them absolutely unfounded.
Everywhere the troops are being excel
lently cared for and the men themselves
have no complaints to make. Such Yu-
mors unjustihably alarm the parents and
relatives of the militiamen and act as
a deterrent upon recruiting.

In answer to the cry Of Republican
politicians, that the unprecedented
prosperity that has come to America
under the administration Of President
Wilson IL due to the European war
orders, comes statement from
Charles NJ. Schwab, head of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, himself a
Republican. that refutes the charge.
at 10 a mistake to imagine that the
major portion of our business is war

OF the great volume OF exports will
demonstrate that the bulk is drawn
from the ordinary course OF business
Il 10 also found that, at present
prices, domestic business Is as profit

No one can doubt the capability of
MIR. Schwab to Judge the business stu
alton, nor can one gainsay the recent
figures issued by the Department of
Commerce. In this report, 1t Is stated
that, during the first eight months
Of the present fiscal year, the exports
of the United States showed trade
balance In favor OF this country Of
61,730. 100000.

has spoken--Charles Hayden, of Bos-
ton He estimates that American
securities held abroad have been re-
duced from S6,OOO.0OO.O00 before the
war, to 81 O00,0OO,OOO at the present
time. COincidentally the United States
has become creditor of foreign M

the extent of 81, 0O,OOO.OO0 Under viii
son, therefore, we have wiped out

Mr.. Hayden calls attention to the
fact that this always was a debtor
nation under Republican rule.

And so, from all sections of the
country, from all kinds and classes
