SENATOR r is RIGHT.
Spokesman Review

spokesman ReVleW)
Senator Borah's bill to repeal the so-called national
guard liberalization provisions of the national defense
act of June 3, 1916, ought to set Thoughtful citizens into1a
train of serious thinking. His resolute purpose to wipe
out that measure of sham preparedness is wise and pa
triotic, and if President Wilson is endowed with vision and
courage he will confess his error and take vigorous steps
to give the nation true preparedness.
How could he defend that error after the staggering
lessons learned from the recent mobilization of the nation
system is fatally wrong. 1t will neither provide first line
troops in any number, nor second line forces in needed
numbers.
When the "deefnse act" was passed last summer the
national guard had a paper" strength of about 10000
officers and men. When put to the mobilization test it's
real strength was found to be but little more than SO per
cent.
up to 1900 officers and 100000 men have signally failed.
The federal government has quit trying, and the guard
that existed before the new law was passed is now crumb-
ling away.
Senator Borah's bill will be supported by the military
authorities Of the nation. Whether the politicians at
Washington will have the courage to confess their error
and the patriotism of r~ectifying it is another matter. 1t
is however m~anifestly a time for plain speaking, for
straightforward judgments like this from the Army and
Navy Journal:
"In common with all our long series of blunders toward
a proper military policy, this matter of the national guard
provisions in the national defense act holds up a valuable
moral to the American people. Of course it can be cor
rected in the simplest way in the world if the people only
express the desire to congress to have the defense act so
amended that this particular laundering will not be kept
in a state of being. In addition to this the mobilization
experiences of the guard point with unmistakable direc-
ton toward the adoption of universal military service, no
sounder diciples of which are to be found just now than
the very men of the guard who learned that lesson through
sacrifice and hardship"

the pursuit would be carried would
be tolerated.
Although not included in the pro-
tocol Carranza interpreted this state
ment as vitality connected with the
agreement and has protested against
the pursuances of such a policy by the
United States.
To the conditions named in the pro-
tocol for the withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops now In Chihuahua under
General Pershing il is understood he
made no serious objection. The terms
for their withdrawal are that they
shall be taken out within 40 days after
ratification OF the protocol If in thai
time bandits have not altered condi-
tons in that part of the country so
materially that the peace of the border
would be menaced and that Carranza
would garrison the territory as soon
as the Americans are withdrawn.
Carranza signed no communication
to the commission but authorized Mr..
PAM TO draft and to submit the state
ment intended as a counter declara-
ton OF policy. 1t was learned that
the Mexican commissioners we're en-
powered TO use their Judgment in
phrasing the document and that they
were urged by Carranza not to cause
a break with the Americans il it could
be avoided.
Monday night the attitude of the
Americans appeared to be that the
measure would be considered careful
ly N il was indicated that they per
ceived in it nc insurperable bar to
further debate. Unless a break in the
conferences, no unexpected. occurs.
1t was believed hat the sessions might
be continued until neal the end of the
week when an adjournment would be
taken until after New Years day.
Mr.. PAM appeared Monday as the
dominant member OF the Mexican
commission, although Luis Cabrera
retained officially :ao Craftsmanship.
He explained verbally to the Ameri-

GEN. CARRANZA NOT SATISFIED
WITH PROTOCOL
Mexican WithhOlds signature From
Document Because L. \. Attitude
Makes IL Inconsistent without De.
filming His Position.

General Carranza's representatives
mittee admitted to the American mem
bers Monday that the protocol signed
three weeks ago at Atlantic City had
not been ratified by Carranza.
The exact character of the commu
nication from the Mexicans was not
made public. but it was evident at the
close of the conference that both
Americans and Mexicans regarded as
probable the official sanction of the
protocol and the resumption of the
sessions at which II has been planned
To discuss questions at issue between
the ~goevrnments OF the United States
and Mexico.
II was indicated that Carranza had
withheld ratification when the pro-
tocol was submitted to him by Alberto
j. PAM. the commissioner who carried
the document from Atlantic City to
Queretaro. not SO much because he
found the terms of the agreement inn
possible. rs because he felt that the
declaration OF the United States gov
ernment's attitude made by Secretary
of Interior Lane as chairman of the
commission. made II inconsistent for
him to accept il without in turn de-
dining ;he position of his government.
Secretary Lane had placed before
the Mexican commissioners a supple
mental statement in which he has
clearly indicated that the American
government was determined TO witness
an Improvement In coalitions in Mex
leo and that IL 1t became necessary

the border in pursuit OF bandits and

SENATOR WORKS TAMPERING WITH DYNAMITE

The question of Japanese immigration was before the
senate Tuesday and Senator Smith of South Carolina had
declared that "if it is the intent and purpose of the United
States to abrogate a solemn treaty and disregard our
compact with another nation, it should be done openly and
above board, and the japanese should be told that we are
going to exclude them"
That's exactly what we ought to do" exclaimed Sena-
tor Works of California, and a little later he vented an
irritating speech calculated to excite i'll feeling between
the United States and Japan. The japanese, he asserted,

GIVE OUR BOYS A WELCOME.

The Idaho militia entrained at Nogales, Tuesday even
ing for Boise, where the boys will, within a few days, be
mustered out of service. Two American Falls boys are
among them. They performed a notable patriotic service
in responding to the country's call, helping to meet a sit
nation of real need, and should be fttingly honored upon
their return home. At no small personal loss, submitting
to great h~ardships and privations for the protection of our
border citizens, they have earned whatever in the way of
recognition can be given them.

81 have observed that while Mr.
Hughes and his party have blamed Mr.
Wilson for almost everything he has
done, they have not blamed for sign

In my opinion, both the democratic and
republican parties are equally guilty OF
trying to iost militarism on this coun-
try. The socialist party, having OBJ

PORTER'S SUNDAY
CLOTHES ARE STOLEN

II A. A. Porter comes up to you
In that mild, gentle manner OF his,

clothes upon your back, the kind OF
shirt you are wearing, the number OF
your shoes, and few other little
things about your wearing apparel
you should not take undue offense.
He 10 only looking for something he
has lost. Not that he suspects you
OF being a burglar, but he wants to
tell you that your suit Is just like
one he owned the other day. Return
ing from his farm at Leland, Porter
found that during the absence OF his
family from the South Sixth residence
some one had entered the house from
the rear and had made away with
two suits of clothes. one his Sunday
best that he intended to wear when
he was sheriff, and the other belong
ing to George Porter. Then the
wardrobe was short six shirts, pair
OF shoes and soft hat. A 3S-callber
revolver was also taken. There are
no footprints to indicate which way
the clothes went
