INDUSTRIAL VALUE OF
MILITARY TRAINING

President Reeves of Norwich Uni
versity, who was in command Of the
First Vermont Infantry on the border,
and who is an advocate of the eco
nomic value of military training has
sent out letters to employers, asking
for a statement as to the improve
ment in efficiency Of their employees
who saw service in the National
Guard in Federal service during the
summer months. The answers receiv-
ed are invariably to the effect that
there has been improvement. One
superintendent of very large manu-
featuring plant answers as follows: Il
am trying to get the overseers al
over the plant to give report on an!
improvement they have noticed in al
who have served under you at thu
border. They all report some i'm

PREVENTS MURDER

Hot Springs, S. d., March 11.-An-
gered because his attentions were not
regarded seriously w. II. Swingle,
formerly employed as a foreman at
the federal Battle Mountain sanato-
rum here. made a futile attempt to
kill Miss Alice Degnan, with whom he
was infatuated, and then committed
suicide.
Miss Degnan ran behind Joseph
Wapht, an old man who lived at the
place, just as Swingle fired. The bull
let missed Wahpt and struck the
young woman In the right cheek and
passed down into her shoulder. She
then fled into Wahpt's room.
The old man stood at the door and
refused to permit Swingle to enter,
despite threats made against his life.
Swingle then ran back to his own
room and fired the shot that took his
own life. Miss Degnan is recovering.

Trade on fat cattle, as on yester-

Nothing new or startling showed

SAYS PLAN is IMPRACTICAL
Lord Shaughnessy Advises Canada to
Go Slow In Recruiting.

Montreal, March 11.-Lord Shaugh-
messy, president of the Canadian Pa
cihc Railway company, is opposed to
the plan of Sir Robert Borden, Cana

contingent in the European war to
100000 men.
Addressing a meeting of business
and military leaders held here TO en-
courage recruiting Lord Shaughnessy
said he did not regard the plan as
practical and that If Canada was to
attempt to raise $4,000 men in addi-
ton to its present army 1t would
cause a serious draft upon the work
ing population.
Lord Sh~aughnessy advised that Can
ada go slowly about recruiting. say
ing that some of the first Canadian
contingent still are in camp in Eng
land. while 10000 men, representing
an outlay of probably $12,0 00, 900 a
month, still are in Canada with no
prospect of being moved to Europe
for a long time.
