ambulance and engineering corps IS
also discussed. The various camps ana
rifle ranges are each given spes'ai

and one who is also Eamilla> with
the instruction necessary fer SHe Sig
nal Corps.
The advocacy of suitable rife rang
es for the various companies in the
State.
The final recommendation was that
machine-gun companies be formed as
soon as possible. The Adiutant-Gen-
eral pointed out at some length the
Z advantage that would accurc to the
department were several such COM
panies to be formed.

Of French camps" the paper says.
'Tkis may be due to the fact that the
French war minister does not exercise
close supervision of the prison camps.
Severely wounded prisoners were
not exchanged altho they were only
able to move about on crutches. This
fact explains why no prisoners were
sent home from the camp Of Amiens,
Toulouse and northern Africa, nor
from MaTseilles.
Virtually all the prisoners re-
turned in rags. In several cases 1t was
pointed out that clothing sent from
home was withheld from them Special
complaints were lodged with the COM
mander at Camp Corcelonette, who
put the wounded to- hard labor.
Further complaints were made re-
garding the kind Of work which cap
tured professors authors, artists and
clergymen were forced to do such as
unloading ships, repairing roads and
canals and repairing railroad tracks.
when asked to change these plans,
the French officials replied it was i'm
possible owing to the French demo-
cratic ideas. '#'%@-t III

Washington, May 25.-Republican
members of the house naval affairs
committee In a minority report today
denounced the S241, 100000 naval ap-
preparation bill prepared by the major
ity as wholly inadequate and urged
more liberal allowances to make the
United States navy second greatest in
the world.
The minority charged that the ma
jority report ignored opinions Of naval
experts and recommendations of Sec
retary Daniels and was based on a
compromise between interests which
wanted no additional naval protection
and those which wanted only a slight
increase.
The republicans recommended that
the bill provide for two dreadnaughts
omitted by the measure, six battle
cruisers instead Of five, fifty coast de-
tense submarines instead Of twenty,
S3,5Q0,O00 for air craft, instead Of ST.

The report. suggested that the two
dreadnaughts be built according to the
plans now ready for the California and
Tennessee, so that all might be fin

provide, the report declared, for the
full number OF men required on a
peace basis and should authorize the
president to order at his discretion
enlistment tof such additional men as
the navy might need, not to exceed the

'.Six months ago I was living at
Sacramento, In the state Of Durango,
working on little farm belonging to
my parents. One day q number Of
armed men came and took away ev-
erything we had stored to keep us un-
til the next crop came. They even
took our wearing apparel. Later an.
other band came only to find we had
nothing left. The colonel, said Ifwould
make a good soldier. I Joined him
and for time we had plenty to eat
and something to wear, but times be-
came hard again and our chief decided
to strike along the Rio Grande on the
Mexican side. i,
AFTER many days OF riding we
reached the river opposite BoQuillas.
Some Of the men suggested raiu
across the river and It was agreed
