concluding his discussion of Prepared
ness for the Association for National
Service. The period of engagement
was three years and implied the right
to resign under certain contingencies.
The militiaman who attended a mini
mum number of parades. equal to
twelve full days training, was de-
clarcd efficient. The only penalty for
non efficiency was discharge. Officers
were selected from citizens in or out
side the militia force without any
previous qualification. From the above
it can be gathered that the standard
Of training was unfortunately low. In
order not to inaugurate too radical a
departure from past conditions when
the defense act went into effect. old
militia units were continued in exis-
tence. and while their internal or
ganization was interfered with as lit
tie as possible, they were brought up
to an improved standard.
In addition new units were created,
and these include many old members.
Here distinct alteration in constitu-
tion has been effected. Old members
were not usually engaged after the
completion of their current enlistment
This provision is probably put forward
in order to break with some of the
past traditions. Non-commissioned

ITALIANS TO BUILD
CATHOLIC CHURCH

ha sheen able to captivate the italian
colony by his attainment, tact and
untiring efforts in the work for the
spreading Of the Holy Seed.
1t is pleasure to know and to meet
Father Laurenzano. He has been able
to get the cooperation of the best
Italians in the city of Clarksburg and
community for his projects and under
his guidance theer is no doubt but
that the accomplishment Of an Italian
Catholic church in this community will
at last be realization.
Sunday night he held conference
on East Main street which was the
first of a series of such conferences
and in gathering of fifty he succeed
ed in securing subscription Of nearly
LOO. At the gathering a number of
the most prominent Italians were APP
pointed on subscription committee
and it may not be an exaggerated
statement at this time to say that
$4,000 will be readily subscribed to
for the purpose of building the said
church.
Father LaurenZano is an enthusiast
tic speaker and readily infuses his au-
dience with enthusiasm. 1t is pleas
ure to hear him and the writer feels
confident Of the success OF the en-
terprise headed by the Rev. Father
Laurenzano.

ENLISTED MEN
In the Regular Army to Be Ap-
pointed by President to Hill
ItarY Academy.

Sergeant A. w. johnson. who has
charge of the local recruiting sta
tion OF the United States army. has
reviewed the following letter from
the war department:
The act Of Congress approved May
4, 1916, provides as follows:
That the president Is hereby au-
thorized to appoint cadets to the
United States Military Academy from
among enlisted men - OF the
regular army between the ages
Of nineteen and twenty-five years
who have served as enlisted men not
less than one year, to be selected
under such regulations as the presi-
dent may prescribe"
It is urged that the widest public
lty be given to this provision of the
law as 1t is believed that it will
prove to be great incentive to the
enlistment of desirable applicants.

The Lassitude of

Spring is another name
for the lazy liver-a ':vsr
that is weary of the work of
eliminating all the accumu-

from a return to simple,
nutritious, easily digested
foods. The food that puts
you on your feet and brings

food that builds new tissue

fruits for a few days and see
how much better you feel.

NATURAL GAS 6
ALMOST GONE

mo natural resources has been and
Is being SO reckIessly wasted as nat
ural gas" said DR.. Manning. Large
qantities have been wasted by being
used individually but the loss through
such use has been unimportant as
with the large absolute
waste that has occurred in connec-
ton with its production. This Gull
minated in the waste incident to the.
development Of the Cushing field in
Oklahoma which was probably the
most fragrant in the history of the
United States. It Is estimated that
from 80 to 80 per cent OF the natural
gas in this field is irretrievably lost
Experts estimate that 1t extended to-
almost a billion feet day a total
since 1t began that would have sup
piled the domestic needs Of a million
people for eight years." 81

sTRAGGLERs STORIES AGREE

San Antonio, Tex, June 25.--Gen-
eral Frederick Funston requested OF
the War department today to demand
the release of Americans taken pris-
oners in the fight at Carrizal and now
held in the prison at Chihuahua City.
No further news Of the fate Of Cap
tain Boyd's men was received after
General Pershing's report this morn
ing and General Funston does not
expect a complete report in the i'm
mediate future.
Their Stories Agree.
1t was pointed out that ~he stories
OF the stragglers agree in an general
details and that even if other strag-
glers should be found, it is not ex-
pected that they could add much to
what already is known.
General Pershing indicated that he
hoped Captain Lewis Morey, re-
ported wounded, might be found in
such condition as to be able to give
him complete details Of the affair
when the relief expedition Of the
Eleventh cavalry returns to the main
columns. General Bell reported to
General Funston that he had been
told by a prominent Mexican who ar
rived today from Chihuahua City that
the latter had seen the prisoners at
Chihuahua and had counted twelve
negroes and three white men.
Likely Civilian Packers.
General Bell expressed the hope
that the white men might prove to
be some of the officers with Captain
Boyd's expedition. 1t was pointed
out, however, that they probably were
civilian packers attached to the COM
