to take our share in the great often
sive. However, it must be clear now,
even to laymen, that the blame heap
ed on US for not going to the aid of
the French before Verdun was quite
undersigned, as we are doing exactly
what Gen. Joffre requested. And
when he gave the word We sprang to
the attack in which we have suffered
previously, but which eads to no re-
gret beyond sorrow for the fallen; for
it now is our time to stand the brunt
of battle.
South of tn Somme the Germans
were completely surprised and our al
lies will get through to the river with
out much loss. In that region you
may look for immediate developments,
as the fighting there now is in open
field formation, the last of the enc
my's works having been captured. A
glance at the map will show you that
our allies are clear across tee net
work of trenches.
Farther north you will note that
while our line is now behind the first
series Of German defences, we are in
fed places.

Tile report Q014l Of the secretary OF
war gives a total of 1928 officers and
l194S7 enlisted men.
1t il an error to suppose that the
nominal strength Of the national guard
IS all there Is to it for effectiveness. A
peace strength is recognized and also
an emergency or war strength. For
Instance, the ten company regiment OF
peace Is increased to twelve compa.
MES for war, and the fifty to sixty men
company is recruited up to 100 men.
Then there is what may be called an
untabulated or unassigned reserve,
comprising men who have had one to
three years training in the guard and
have been discharged, but consider
themselves members Of the guard and
will volunteer to join their former reg
iment or any guard regiment not filled
to the maximum. This gives cohesion
to the force. the partially trained drop
ping in alongside Of the thoroughly
trained men.
How Militia Is Differed.
II Is safe to say that the national
guard can muster within few days
upward Of 100000 we'll and partially
trained soldiers. From among these
efficient men there will be selected un-
dri' :he admirable new volunteer army
Inv The first and second lieutenants

panics recruited among the morgan

Governor Willis Of Ohio says:

"For state purposes the Ohio ma
tional guard carries probably enough
units to take care Of any internal or
local difficulties, but as an integral
part Of q national defense 1t would be
the part of wisdom to increase the
units not only In this state, but in all
other states. To accomplish this fed
eral assistance and federal control and
supervision to greater degree are nee
essary.
"Our national form of government Is
such as to make it unwise to maintain
large standing army. 1t Is also true
that national preparedness for defense
Is q question that cannot lightly be
turned aside or overlooked. 1t Is tre-
mendously important that our govern
ment take reasonable and prompt steps
to acquire a reasonable sized, mobile,
trained soldiery. This can be accom-
plished more quickly, more easily and
more properly, also with less expense,
through the national guard of the coun-
try than in any other way yet thought
Of and suggested"
The secretary Of war In his last 70
port says:
"If all of the national guard could
be summoned in the event Of war and
should all respond ian inconceivable
resulp and If they were all found fair
ly efficient In the first line-that Is. the
troops who would be expected imme-
diately to take the tield-we could

MEXICO PREPARES FOR WAR
Call for Medical Men and Women
Nurses.

Mexico City, July "A call was
sent out to-day by the federal board
of health for meeting Of medical men
for the purpose of forming corps to
serve in the event Of foreign war.
Volunteers under so years Of age are
called for. The younger men are TO-
serve in the emergency field hospitals,
while the others will serve in hospital
headquarters and in towns.
Supplementing this call is one for
women to train for field service as
nurses and the further preparation is
made of establishing some medical fac
tories to Offset the danger OF having
supplies usually furnished from the
outside cut off.
Officers have reached the army head
quarters from several sections pro-
posing the formation Of "brigades OF
amazons,' it being said that women
to the number of many thousands des-
sire to serve in the event of war and
ask that they be trained to use rifles.
Two thousand of these women were
reported to have offered their services
in the State Of Sonora and other In
West coast and Southern States have
followed their examples.

TORRENS ACT IS
,yE NOW EFFECTIVE

The Torrens system of registration
of land titles Is no effective in South
Carolina. Under it's provisions the
clerk of court is to appoint by Au-
gust l three or more attorneys, who
are to be examiners Of titles; the
county commissioners must provide
a register Of mesne conveyance for
the registration if titles. The pro-
visions of the act are assumed VOL
UNFAIRLY.
The advantage of the Torrens sys-
etm is that after land is once regis
terer under this plan, there will be
no further question of the title and it
will not be necessary to have the title
examined for any subsequent trans
fers of the land The object of the
system is to give clear title ii land.
The Torrens act fixes the fees that
are to be allowed to the title eXami-
ners, officers and surveyors. The ex-
aminer is to receive minimum fee
Of S. for examination of each title of
property assessed upon the tax books
at $1,000 or less, and for each addi-
tional $1,000 of assessed value he is
to receive so cents. The surveyor
employed under the provisions Of the
act is to be allowed not more than
40 cents per houh for the time ac-
tually employed.
In order to guarantee the title, and
at the same time to protect against
loss persons who by the system lose
an interest in land not through their
own negligence, the State provides
an assurance fund, out of which
claims will be paid. This fund is
formed by fee of one-tenth Of one
per cent Of the assessed value of the
regitered land. This amount is turn
ed over to the State treasurer.

Thus with the standing national

Major General Organ, commanding
the national guard of New York state.
In recent article declared that the
militia today is 100 per cent better than
ut the time of the Spanish-American
war and that the time to talk of a mill
tia camp as place for revel and frolic
is past. He goes on to say:
"This question of our national de-
tense SINNERS down to necessity for
more militia, properly organized and
trained, and to system Of reserves for
the army and the militia. Twelve d.
visions comprising about $4,000 men
would be the ideal number. To create
such fighting machine would involve
comparatively little expense. The pri-
mary result would be an adequate
army. But the result would be much
more than that. 1t would mean a
backbone Of quiet patriotism and
knowledge Of what war means. The
latter would make any half baked pop
ular demand for war less possible"
Opinions Of Governors.
The question of increasing the mill
tia forces of the country Is one that
has been the subject of much contro-
versy Of late. Recently the New York
Times submitted this question to q
number of governors Of various states.
Most Of the governors sent answers
advocating an increase of the militia
forces. In his reply Governor Walsh
Of Massachusetts, says:

ell here to be the next step of the Unit
ed States in its relations with its sou

The crisis precipitated by Villas
raid on Columbus N. NJ, and culmi-
mating in the fight at Carrizal between
American and Mexican troops appear
ed tonight to have been dissipated by
an amicable note from Gen. Carranza
presented today by his ambassador
designate here, Eliseo Arredondd
The note proposes that the differenc-
es between the governments be settled
by mediation or by direct negotio-
tions. 1t is remargable for its brevi-
lty, it's restrained and friendly tone
and for the absolute lack of any of
the strong, even insolent language
which characterized the last two COM
munications from the de facto govern
ment. 1t treats as a closed incident
the exchange Of unfriendly communi-
cations which rought war almost
within sight.
Up to Wilson Now.
No formal comment on the note was
obtainable from state department Of
flcials. A copy was forwarded to the
Whit House Immediately upon its re-
ceipt and President Wilson will deter
mine the course to be pursued. The
fact that Secretary Lansing completed
preparations today for months va
cation to begin Friday is regarded as
significant, however, of feeling on
his part that the crisis is over.
As matter Of general principle the
Washington government always has
favored mediation of any dispute suit
able for such procedure.

FOLLOWED JOFFRE'S PLANS
While French Were Guarding Nerduh
English Prepared for Great
Offensive.

London July 4.-"Only German SOL
diers in open field formations now
stand between the French and the
River Somme" said Major Gen. F. b.
Maurice to-day referring to the part
of the river which flows northward
to the east of the sector along which
the Frenc have made their greatest
gains.
"The last of the enemy's defensive
works in that sector have been cap
tured by our allies"
In giving the results attained oy
eht allied offensive of the western
front, Major Gen. Maurice, who Is d.
rector of the military operations Oh
the general staff, continued:
Much underserved oblique has
been heaped upon the British army by
English, French and American people
because we apparently did pithing to
assist the French in the desperate
fighting on the Vepdun front. But all
this time we we're doing the part re-
uuested by Gen. Joffre.
According to this plan we coll
served our troops, accumulated sup
plies and waited the word for the
grand offensive, in which we were TO
play our part with the Russians and
Italians, as we'll as the French. Nat
urally during these anxious weeks we
could give out no exciting news be-
cause our deliberate preparations
we're not good copy For certain tao
tical and moral reasons, which need
not be dilated on, it was necessary
that the French should not lose the
east bank of the Meuse, and Gen. Jon-
re informed us that he could hold the
pisitions which command that part Oh
the river until the end Of June, so we
knew we were going to strike at the
beginning of July.
