The plan which has beer transmitted
to the national guard commanders con.
templates an army, including regulars
and militia, Of 318,284 men, which
means almost doubling the present

more or less helpless in Its authority
over the arms and munitions issued
to the states. In some states there
have been disputes as to its right to
direct the expenditures Of the federal
funds appropriated by acts Of con.

government cannot remove inefficient
guard officers or reward the efficient
officers. ,---~
Other features Of the system which
regular army officers have criticised as
impairing its efficiency for service In
war are pointed out by General w.

book, 1.-The American Army" Says
the author:

SLAMS and Italians which, | do not
need to tell you, already have begun
We are not disappointed with our own
advance, which We expected to be
lsow, and we are enormously pleased
with the wonderful progress made by
the French who, with comparatively
light losses, are sweeping forward to
the Somme.
ut is quite evident the Germans
were surprised by the strength of the
French offensive. They evidently be-
lieved our allies would be kept TOO
busy before Verdun to participate Sc
riously in the western offensive, which
they knew was coming. Consequently
they made extensive preparations be-
fore our front, pilling up reinforce
ments there while comparatively ne
glecting the southern sector, domi-
mated by the French. The Germans,
anticipating our move, brought UP
great forces, much of which consisted
of independent units called Mosque
ton battalions, armed only with light
machine guns. 1t was these battal-
ions which inflicted the heaviest
losses on us.
Determined Resistance.
"Our enemy is brave and resource
full and put up desperate defense es-
pecially in the region from Connie
court to Fricourt, where he evidently
expected our main attack. In this
region the fighting was especially Sc
we're. The chalk formations gave the.
Germans a splendid chance to make
the best use of their miners, who con-
structed dug-outs and other defencive
works, which our heaviest shells could
not destroy. From these works Mos
.queton battalions put up most deter
mined resistance.
Physical features made the cap
ture Of Friciurt peculiarly difficult
and our severe losses there were not
unexpected. Montauban was one of
the strongest positions occupied by
the Germans, but our advance there
was brilliant and rapid, without the
losses suffered between Gommecourt
and Fricourt.
"On the whole we are we'll salts
field with our advance. We will con-
tinue our artillery preparation, as We
have no intention of butting our head
against stone wall. The human fac
tor must be considered and this fac
tor presents some unexpected prob
lens on the German side, since after
all the progress of any offensive. We
are meeting strenuous opposition.
Progress Will BE Slow.
Our progress most certainly will
be deliberate. Many places like Fri
court will be taken only after over
coming desperate opposition.
That our gallant allies should ad,
vance faster with smaller losses than
we is not only the fortune of war, but
may be called poetic justice. since
they lost so heavily during the Ions
weeks while We were getting ready

 The disclosures of that investigation are historic were responsible in the main for Hughes later Oeing elected twice as governor of New York In the middle oI the investigation he fatly refused mayoraty nomlna ton From the outset of his carer as governor HugheS was in trouble with Republican party leaders, lie deVe oped an aooness from them and complete independence of thought and action that finally eliminated Tn an open break between him and William Barnes, Jr
 New Workers still remember speech by Hughes be- fore the Albany newspaper correspondents as one of the most artistic vitrioc dressing downs that was ever spoken It simply took the hide off Barnes The upstate boss responded by denouncing Hughes as party in- crate and traitor to the state convention Nevertheless Hughes was renOminated and reelected
 The Hughes fight against the race track interests was probably the most spectacular of all his moves as govern or Behind it lay sentimental interest. While practc- ing law Hughes was thrown in contact with stenOgaph- CT whose father had been imprisoned for embezzement of money with which he played the races
 When Hughes became governor his first message sug- gesed repeal of the law gazng betting at tracks committee friendly to the interests laughed and tabled the bill. But Hughes got his dander up' He stmped the state for his plan Killed at regular ses- sion of the legislature it later revived at special seS sion and finally forced through by the vote of sick sena tor who was carried into the chamber a stretcher
 Hughes was first mentioned for the presidency eight years ago. He steadfasty refused to be even receptive candidate Four years ago he likewise declined to take any interest in politics Two years ago his name first be- Stewart L. Woodford then U S.

 Hughes work in this investigation was of so brilliant

 Hughes retired behind his fast-graying and always famous whiSkerS.
 Hughes has been consistent in his reforms He startled New York with the thoughness with which he probed the life insurance scandal and when governor made bitter enemies of the regular crowd by doing just as he pleased appointments by nstitutng direct pr- mares insurance reform and antrace track legislation
 Because of his reform record and his progressivism of thought Hughes has been mentioned an amagama- tion" candidate, who would unite both Republicans and Progressves He isn't popular with the "od guard" be- cause his habits of almost nsoent independence" as one leader has expressed it. but all Republicans admit his strength with the voters
