A MYSTERIOUS POTION.

Mary had little drink
1t made her wonderfully merry;
She drank it down and didn't blink,
And then she ate the cherry.
Birmingham Age-Herald
The little drink that Mary had
Turned many a mental trick,
But it was the cherry red
That made her want to Kick.
Savannah Press.
This was not all that Mary did,
She was very fond of liquor,
When she drank a quart or two,
She was a daisy kicker.

about one month from the declara-
ton OF war
while a war waged against us by
an alliance may in the future be pos
sibility it is not a probability, 1t is
believed ii we provide an adequate
army to defend the country against
any single nation the probability of
war between the United States and
coalition of powers would grow
even more remote.
After having discussed reasons why
the general staff believes twelve
I months intensive training is the min
imum to prepare troops Tor war
General Scott stated at length why
the staff recommended that no further
reliance be placed on the volunteer
system and urged universal liability
to military training and service. OF
all the nations of the world, he said
the United States and China alone
relied on volunteers to defend their
national existence. He recounted the
failures of the volunteer system in
the revolutionary war, the war of 1917
and how it failed both the confeder-
acy and the union in the civil war.
1.-THE system is ineffective" he said,
because under it we must wait for
war to come before preparing our de-
tense. We must wait for an emer-
gency before beginning to raise, train
and equip the vast armies which war
with any first class power or coalition
would render necessary. A nation
that is so short-sighted with respect
to its man power cannot be expected
to look far into the future with re-
spect to munitions and supplies.
"If universal liability to military
training and service are ordained il
would mean only that the people as
whole have through their represen-
tatives recognized the duty of the
individual to prepare himself to de-
fend it in case of need"
