BAKER DEN'ES GUARDSMEN
NOT ..OPERLY TREATED
ASSOCIATED Press BY Federal wireless)

WASHINGTON, July 3O-In a formal
statement issued last night, Secretary
Of War Baker said that the reports that
the militia troops have been treated
carelessly and supplied with insufficient
food and attention, are absolutely un.
true. He said that official reports show
that the guardsmen were well cared for
on their way to the border, and had
no reason, whatever, to ask for food
from civilians while on their way south.
He adds that water is plentiful at the
border camps, whore the men are sta.
toned.

SROM many influential quarters is

against what is characterized as

administration. It is pointed out that
the present Congress has steadily de-
clined to take expert advice on mill

a sound and dependable military pol
icy. the National Guard has been
swept unprepared into a position
where many OF the men are embar-
raised by the fact that instead Of re-
spending for the defense of their
country they are forced to do the
daily grind of standing army.
Congressman are being goaded by
business and other interests all over
country to take soure action regarding
the militia on the border. Mr.. Town
send, of Michigan, made a vigorous
protest in the Senate in which he de-
clared:
These boys ought to be home.

ought to be returned TO their

have given up with the thought

tense required their services.

of the statute federalizing the Guard.

THE BIG FALLS
By Frederic J. Haskin

NOING over Niagara Falls in 4
VI barrel is one of the oldest
stunts in America The news
paper story about someone who did il
is sort of national chestnut And
Yet If someone were to announce his
intention of going over Niagara in q
barrel tomorrow, there would be a
large crowd on hand to see him do il
and everyone who couldn't he there
would read about it in the papers the
next day.
1t is the same way with everything
about the great Falls. They have been
visited and exploited and written
about ever since the first white men
laid eyes upon it. yet the interest in
them never dims. 1t is a fact amply
attested by the registers of Niagara
hotels that he who looks upon the
Falls once nearly always comes back
TO look again.
Speaking of going over the Falls
in barrel. there is an old lady here
engaged in selling post cards to tour
lists who did the trick successfully
some forty years ago. Her story de-
serves to rank as one of the hardest
hard luck yarns in all the world.
At the time she made the famous
leap she was a beautiful young wo-
man, who had come to Niagara to
earn a living. She fell very much in
love with a young man, who was as
penniless as herself. They put their
heads together to devise a method OF
getting enough money to set Hp house
keeping. The young woman, full ol
the courage of her devotion, proposed

Most of the lovers who come tC

married ones. First-class honey
moons for couples from the country
are Niagara's most important and re
lmunerative product. OF course, tht
citizens will tell you that they really
make their money out of a tremendous
commercial development. But you
have only to observe the respectful
consideration with which the newly

Why people jump over Niagara

in hotel lobbies here. 1t appears thai
