The loss of a finger by having it
pulled off by halter of stake rope
is getting to be quite common in this
part of the country. The latest case
is that of H. H. Chapman of Emf
grant creek, who lost one of his fin
gers last Saturday morning. He had
poked the loop of the halter rope
through an augur hole in the man
ger and stuck his finger through the
loop until he could bring around the
end to tie. The horse pulled back
lust in the nick of time" and off
went the finger as clean as If it had
been on the block under butchers
cleaver.

Who is Virginia's
Frankenstein?

Some one seems to have started
something in Virginia that he can
not stop. That some one must
have gone into the dissecting roc m
and grayeyards of legislation and
assembled the bones of dead laws
for the purpose of creating a fiction
under the name Of "Blue Law"
Just as with the student the thing
has determined to live. in the
minds of the public, at least.
the public, however, should not
be so easily alarmed. There is no
such thing as a new "Blue Law"
in Virginia. The law that has
created so much disturbance with
in the past week is nothing more
nor less than the Custer Law
passed by the recent Legislature
by which it is provided that any
public official who does not enforce
the laws may be removed from
office. Anyone who calls this a
blue law simply does not appreci-
ate what blue Law" really is.
The nearest approach to such a
law in Virginia, is the law against
the violation of the Sabbath which
has been on our statute books for
years in exactly the same terms it
now is except that the last Legisla.
ture slightly liberalized.
One can only conclude that since
the Custer Law which went into eff
feet en- the seventeenth, has so dis
turked Richmond and other CON-
munities, heretofore the officials of
these places have not been accus-
toned to enforce the laws.-News-

President Calls Out
Entire u. S. Militia

Washington, June lS-President
Wilson today ordered out substan-
TALLY the entire national guard of
the United States for service on the
Mexican border.
This action was accepted as the
beginning of actual Intervention in
Mexico. A declaration of war on
Mexico within the next few days
was believed by many officials to
be a strong probability.
The open hostility of Carranza
officials in threatening to attack
the American expeditionary army
in Mexico and the evidences of par
ticipation by Carranza officers in
the border raids inspired the call
for troops, which will result in mo-
billing the military strength of the
nation on the Mexican border.
Army officers are confident that
the militia will be used to guard
he border, releasing the $4,000
regular tro ps now on patrol DUTY
50 that they may reinforce General
Pershing and clear northern Mexico
# bandit bands.
The government has threatened
Carranza with the "gravest conse,
1uences" if he attacks American
troops in Mexico. The threat is
contained in long note replying
to Carranza's last withdrawal de-
mand Full of short arm, diplo'
matte jabs, the note positively de
clined to take the American forces
out of Mexico. 1t eXcoriated car
rama for his failure to cooperate
and resented his bruskness and
iutimates bad faith on his part. 1t
said that carranza had ignored his
obligation to protect American
rights and punish the bandits 1t
said that execution of the threat to
attack U. S. troops would "lead to
the gravest consequences
The note resented Carranza's dis
courteous tone and temper in his
last note. 1t charged that the
bandits had gone unhampered and
UNPUBLISHED in attacking American
citizens. 1t recited scores of in
stances of banditry. 1t charged
that carranza's troops had beer
indifferent to the atrocities anc
had even encouraged and aidec
some of the leaders. 1t charged
that carranza had failed to take
proper steps to apprehend Villa anc
others.

For Universal Training

A member of the general staff
corps of the United States Army
has prepared q bill for universal
military training that will be pre-
sented to Congress. In principle
it agrees with the Swiss system OF
universal training. The chief diff
ference is that it shortens the per
iod of instructions, the effort being
to give each young man as much
military knowledge is six months
of intensive training as the Swiss
youth obtains in scattered per-
iods covering several years.
1t is estimated that such a sys-
tenn would produce annually 50O,-
900 trained men. Thus there would
be virtual immunity from war
service for every man of 25 years
or over.
The main question in connection
with the proposed legislation is
whether it would produce soldiers
sufficiently trained to enter upon
first line service. The war college
has declared that twelve months
intensive training is the minimum
that will prepare troops for war.
But universal training, as has been
proved by the Swiss and Aust
tralian system, develops so great a
number of young soldiers that the
best when specially selected from a
large active force.-Chicago News.
