representatives from practically every
branch of the city service.

ond birthday anniversary
He assured Dad Weir of the high
place he held in the estimation of the
city hall jewellers. Following his

custodian with big silk flag, the
gift of city officials. Dad" Weir then
was presented with a second gift from
the officials and their assistants. The

STATE TO BUY COAL
Contracts for $4,000 Tons Will Be Let
Next Month.

The state will next month buy So,
600 tons of coal for use in various in
stitutions next winter. Notices of the
coal letting were sent today from the
state house. Contracts will be award
ed July IA.
The state board of control, state
board of managers and the state board
of administration Joined in the call
for coal contracts. 1t is probable that
the coal supply for the state institu-
lions next winter will total $150,000.
A large number of coal companies
have indicated their intention to bid
for the fat state contracts.
Although reports have been sent
from Lansing to the effect that the
state prison mines are producing
abundant coal supplies, they are un-
able to meet more than a small por-
ton of the states demands. Each
year the demand for coal at various
institutions increases and this year
the state will contract for the deliv-
cry of $4,000 tons of fuel.
Members of the three state boards
will meet in the offices of the state
board of control July IA At that
time all bids submitted will be con-
sidered and contracts will be let for
the various institutions.

Weakness of National Guard
System Is Shown.
Our Unpreparedness Criminal,
Says Senator Chamberlain.
THANK GOD WAS ONLY MEXICO
Chairman of Senate Military
Committee Sees Faults.
System Shows Failure We
Should Have Anticipated.

Washington, June 30.-Had trouble
threatened with a powerful aggressive
nation, instead of Mexico, the last few
days would have shown the inherent
weakness of the national guard sys-
tenn, even more strikingly than has
been the case" Chairman Chamber
lain of the senate military committee
said today in an interview He had
before him reports OF guardsnen leav-
ing for the front short of horses,
mules. supplies, even rifles, of state
forces where 60 per cent of the men
never had fired an army rifle; of large
proportions of national guard COM
panies being disqualified by United
States army examiners.
Let me make clear first" said
Chamberlain, that this is not an at
tack on the guards. The guardsmen,
faulty as the system has shown ITSELF
are better prepared than any of the
rest of us. Indeed they are the only
men who have imposed any sacrifice
on themselves.
Has Shown Our Duty.
What the failures of the past ten
days ought to do is to show the Amer
lean people their duty-the duty of
each one-to begin to get ready for
1T is the American people who are
responsible for few machine guns, no
aero service to speak of, a lack of
horses, an organization so inefficient
that in ten days we have succeeded in
starting only few states to the
border, and those in various degrees of
criminal unpreparedness.
1T was wrong to expect small per-
centage of citizens the butt
of gold laced jokes, and always with
military interests strictly secondary,
to bear our preparedness burden. The
system has shown its weaknesses as
we should have anticipated. Neither
can the railroads be blamed for the
delays.
THE American people never have
suggested that railroads ought to be
prepared, as a part of the nations
military machinery.
Men Physically Unfit.
Industries suddenly called on to
give up part of their employees and at
the same time to hurry up supplies
for them are altogether wrongly
blamed. Lately industrial prepared
ness has become a phrase. We find
ness. Men called from stores, ware
ness. Men called fro mstores, ware
houses, offices or other indoor and
partly sedentary positions are sup
posed to be, fit. AS matter of fact,
some of them have tainted when call
ed on to march and drill few hours

but even to see it.
