AND MACHINE GUN RE-
STORES QUIET.
H COMPANY MISSES FUN
But Two Hartford Boys Believed To
Have Heard The Sing of Greas-
er Bullets.

El Paso, Tex, Dec. 25.--It was re-
ported at the camp of the Third Ken
lucky Infantry to-day that at least
one of the Mexican snipers who fred
on the First Battalion of the Third
Kentucky Infantry was killed when
the machine gun belonging to the
battalion was used to rout the snip
ers, who were firing at. the American
army camp near the cement plant Oh
the American side of the Rio Grande.
The snipers fired twenty or more
times into the camp of the Ameri-
can soldiers.
Carranza Consul Eduardo Soriano
Bravo said to-day he was investigaf-
ing the report that snipers had fir
ed on American troops from the Mex
lean side of the border last night. He
said he had been in conference with
Gen. Jose Murguia. the new COM
mander in Juare1.. and said Gen. Muir
guia had no knowledge of the snip
ing, and added that he had no de fac

ment plant

said the shipping started from the vi
entity of the little adobe house
which was used by Francisco Madero
as his headquarters preceding the at
tack on Juarez by the Madero forces
on May 8, 1911. There were about
ten snipers near this house. Mai.
Denhardt said. About as many more
opened fire from point above the
house on the side of the mountain.
This sniping was returned by our
outposts," Maj. Denhardt said. Our
men were forced to abandon a first
line trench which had been built
previously near the river to protect
our outposts. The sniping continu-
ed until the machine gun was brought
into action, and about 100 shots FIR
ed. Then the firing stopped, and l
am sure We got some of the men who
were doing the firing unless they fed
before the machine gun opened up.
After being driven from the first
line trench our men sought shelter
in an adobe house and continued
firing at the snipers until the machine
gun scattered them" Maj. Denhardt
concluded.
The Third Infantry is on border
patrol duty between Ell Paso and Las
Cruces, N. NJ. The distance to be
patrolled is approximately fifty miles.

here probably would not have been
able to trace the crime to DIR. Waite.
This oversight. the brother contends.
is OF itself proof that DR.. Waite is
not the confirmed criminal he has
been described, but that he is in
sane.
Frank Waite asserted this evidence
would be presented to the court of
appeals in an effort to obtain a new
trial for DR.. Waite.

MAJORITY NOT GAINED
Republicans Have 214 Votes And
Democrats 213-Two Seats

Washington. Dec. 26.-Revised
figures on returns of the last cleo

either Democrats or Republicans win
both of the contests, they still would
be short of a majority.
Independents Silent.
All of the independents are main

Democratic and Republican leaders

Why Say "a Lemon"

Lemons are of such great value
both as a beverage and in cooking
that it seems queer that anyone
should use the word lemon in an
uncomplimentary sense. Besides the

PROPOSED ACT WOULD KEEP
100000 MEN UNDER ARMS
IN UNITED STATES.
IS NOW BEING DRAFTED
AIeasnre VIII BE Submitted to Sec
rotary of War In About Three
Weeks.

Washington. Dec. 27.--Argentina' $
4 military system is serving as mod
y 81 for the universal service bill nov
being drafted by a committee of the
army general stag. officers famil-
far with STAFF opinion said to-day
that while details had not been com
pleted. the measure would follow
loosely the Argentine scheme. and
was designed TO keep half a million
men under training, with 100000
trained reservists subject to call.
II probably will be at least three
weeks before the bill and accompany
ing estimates of costs are ready for
Submission to the Secretary of War.
The chairman of the House Military
Committee has asked to see il, and
Il will be sent TO the Capitol for the
committees information. tho there
8 no indication that II will go with
any sort of Endorsement from the Ad-
ministration. Secretary Barker has
mot said whether he will approve or
disapprove.
One Year Provided.
The main feature of the staff bill
VIII be its provision for one year OF
Intensive military instruction for all
youths subject to its terms. 1t is
axpected that exemptions due to ply
steal disqualification and for other
reasons. including. possibly. the con-
1cription OF certain men work in in
dnstrial plants in war times. and
would leave available for army train
ing between 900 and 100000 of
Che 900 200 boys who reach the age
OF rs each year.
In fixing upon year as the min
imum time for training, the general
staff has followed the theory that the
United States seeks TO provide only
Tor an army of defense. II has been
stated to the House Committee by
Mai. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott that, althO
European nations give every soldier
at least two years of hard work be
fore turning him into the reserve.
because of the geographical position
of the country. a year will suffice
here. The argument advanced to
4 support this view was that there
would be sufficient time to give fin
ishing touches to the military educa-
ton of reservists after war had
broken out. and before invading ex-
&peditions could be landed in force.
a Would Give 100000 Men.
"A In broad way. the outline OF the
general stan continental army plan
. OF last year would be followed in dis
|tributing tactical units of the reserve
Into nineteen infantry and six cav
f airy divisions. Reservists would be
liable for two years service in this
force before passing into the unor-
ganized reserve.
The result. when the system had
been in operation number of years,
would be to give 100000 men under
arms and in process of training, a
million more trained, equipped. or
ganized and ready for immediate
muster as frst-line troops, and be-
hind these the unorganized. but train
cd, reserve, numbering more than L.
5000 This is the basis on which
estimates of cost will be made by
the General STAFF Committee.

Also Being Considered by House
Committees.

Washington, Dec. 62.-Issuance of
100000 of Panama Canal bonds

additional taxes on whisky, beer,
cigarettes and bottled water and
higher tariff duties on coffee and tea
are proposed in tentative pro-
gramme to be considered by the
House Ways and Means Committee
when it begins framing revenue leg
islation to meet the prospective def
cit of $370,OOO,00O at the end of the
next fiscal year.
Start mt Once.
The committee will undertake its
task soon after Congress reconyenes
next week. Members in direct
charge of drafting the legislation al
ready have conferred with Secreta-
ry McAdoo and other Administration
officials and the problem has been
given serious attention by President
Wilson himself. There are intima-
tions that the President may decide
to address Congress soon to outline
how he thinks the necessary money
can be raised.
The President is understood to OPP
pose bond issues except for extraor-
binary emergencies. To square with
this view. Democratic leaders in the
House propose to put the issue OF
Panama Canal bonds directly upon
the military expenditures on account
OF Mexico.

Copying the funnel idea used 80
much In the making of collars this
season, you viii find a pair Of yellow

erously IN brown and yellow silk.
Velvet ribbon as well as the satin
and taffeta variety, is used great deal
in the making of the boudoir garters.
1t is an aim of the smartly dressed
woman to have the garters match the
rest of her boudoir set in color.
Coming from the sublime to the
ridiculous, you will no doubt be inter
ested in garter which is made to fit
the leg several inches below the knee.
The garter is furnished with an at
tached pocket made thief-proof by
means OF clasps. Into the pocket the
wearer can slip her money, feeling
free that it cannot ride to the top OF
the stocking and pop out. She will
also find comfort in the fact that 1t
cannot wear hole in her hosiery.

CARRIERS THINGS OF BEAUTY
Prettiest Of Ribbons, with Strips OF
Fur as Ornaments, Are Not Con-
sidered Too Elaborate.

Living up to the standard set by
the newest robes and sacques for wear
in the boudoir. garters have come to
the fore in most bewitching and
charming forms. Indeed, they are so
lovely that were a woman never to
wear a pair she would be pleased 10
say she owned them. There would be
some satisfaction in taking a pair out
of the box Just to admire them.
Picoted ribbon can be used to cover
the elastic foundations OF garters. A
pretty result can be gained by using
one color for the outside and con-
trasting color for the facing or inner
side. Try yellow and blue ribbon.
