|tional guard IN RS federal status, Cen
eral Scott declares the training period
OF seventy. ave days In three years pro-
vided by the International defense act
Is wholly inadequate.
In spite Of the fact that the pre-
paredness agitation stimulated inter-
est while the effort was being made TO
bring the border forces up to war
strength, General Scott asserts. three
months OF recruiting LEFT many nation
al guard units still below minimum
strength. Every effort was made to
get the men, he says, a house to house
canvass being conducted in some sec
tons.
>"The failure" says the report,
should make the whole people realize
that the volunteer system does not and
probably will not give MS either the
men we need for training in peace or
for service in war"
General Scott gives statistics on the
national guard mobilization available
when his report was written Sept. 80.
He shows that In eleven states with
$4,000 enrolled guardsmen at the time
Of the call more than 10 per cent failed
to respond and 80 per cent of the re-
mainder could not pass required ply
steal tests.

SAY oUARD 10 FAILURE.
Brand Put on Systsm w Nal. Gen.
Scott In HE Annual Reports.

Washington. Dec. S.--The volunteer
military system again has proved itself
IA failure and should be relegated TO
the past, declares Maj. Gen. Hugh l..
Scott, chief Of the staff of the army. In
his annual report made public last
night.
Basing his conclusions on the show
ing of the federalized national guard,
when mobilized for border duty, and
the fact that strenuous recruiting cam
paiSns for both the regulars and
guardsmen have produced negligible
results. General Scott says:
I'm my Judgment the country will
never be prepared for defense until we
do as other great nations do that have
large interests to guard, like Germany.
Japan, and France, where everybody Is
ready and does perform military serv-
ice in time of peace as he would pay
every other tax, and is willing to make
sacrifices for the protection he gets and
the country gets In return.
There issSno reason why one wo-
mans son should so out and defend or
be trained to defend another woman
and her son who refuses to take train
ing or give service. The only demo-
cratic method is for, every man in his
youth to become trained in order that
he may render efficient service if call
ed upon in war"

Washington, Dec. s.--Eforts to re-
duce the cost or living thru increased
nrodnotion and better distribution OF
the country's foods are detailed In the
annual report OF Secretary Houston OF
the department OF agriculture. The
report also devotes considerable atten-
ton to the pure food laws and urges
on congress the need Of strengthening
II to permit Standardization of foods
and drugs and inspection Of foods and
drugs factories.
Records OF tho department. the re-

meat and dairy products the per capita
production OF the leading food commo-
dities in the United States has remain
ed about tho same despite the rapid
growth OF population. Statistics pre-
ser,ted cover period Of sixteen years.
The population has increased In that
time 80 per cent. There is ground for
optimism, the report says, as to the
aoility of the nation not only to sup
ply. itself with food but increasingly
to meet the needs of the world.
One OF the principal aims of the de-
partment has been to increase meat
production. The report showsla steady
growth since 1913 in the output of beef
and an advance In the number of swine
every year since 1899. More exclusive
sheep raising Is recommended as n
source of food. 1t is pointed out that

Germany's acceptance Of RESPONSE
bilty for the sinking OF the ARABIA
with the explanation that her subnia
rine commander took the vessel Ior ="
auxiliary warship, has brought the is
sue over submarine warfare TO a mole
serious and CLEAR cut basis than any
thing that has happened since the
threat Of the United states last Aprh
to break diplomatic relations after the
torpedoing OF the channel liner Sussex.
Such information as the American
government now has tends to show
that the Arabia was a passenger ship
OF the Peninsular and Orient line, pass
ing thru the Mediterranean on regu-
lar voyage. Among the many passen-
gers was an American citizen, who was
rescued. :,
The appropriate consequences,
mentioned In the note. would be an ex-
preston Of regret and an offer OF rep
aration for any injury or danger sur
fered ~ the American on board, Vt is
assumed here.
y. S. straddles Issue?
According to the German view. Pres
ident Wilson is trying to harmonic
two divergent views of submarine war
fare. He has declared the right OF
Americans to immunity on ships OF bel
ligerent nationality. AT the same time
he has refrained from making good his
threat to sever diplomatic relations
when Americans are killed by the tor
pedoing Of such vessels. Berlin be-
lieves that an overwhelming majority
Of the American people has been and
still is in favor of warning Americans
to .shun, belligerent merchantmen, and
that therefore the president will not
enforce recognition of the immunities
for which he has contended.
Germany believes that the. American
people would not sanction severance
of diplomatic relations with Berlin by
the president on the basis of the killing
of six horse tenders on ship regarded
by Wilhelmstrasse as a munition
transport. German officials are. con-
WINGED that the American people is not
disposed to insist upon the Immunity OF
Americans on merchantmen carrying
war supplies to England on the ground
that such vessels are virtually, II not
technically. transports, ahd therefore
subject to destruction without warning
It is recognized In Berlin, however,
that the killing OF Americans on a pasS
senger liner torpedoed without warn
ing would Justify a severance OF dipio-
matte relations by the United States.

T. E. Hagan, of Minneapolis, who
spent several weeks in the city on
business and visiting with old friends,
left for home Monday. While here he
made arrangements to build a brick
warehouse 5Ox15O feet on his lot just
east of the International Harvester Co.
building, which will be occupied by the
J. B. Reed Transfer Co. The contract
has been let to the Western Building
Co. and work started Tuesday. The
building will be completed by Dec. 1:
When Mr.. Hagan came to Minot, he
had no idea of erecting building, but
was so impressed with the way things
are moving that he figured that he
might just as we'll get into the game.
Mrs. J. D. Milan was taken to her
home east of the city Sunday after
spending several weeks at the Lyle
hospital. Mrs. Milan has been a suf-
ferer with heart trouble and dropsy
for long time and her condition does
not improve. Her many friends trust
that she will take change for the
better. Her mother and sister from
Wabash, Ind, arrived Friday.
