for universal military service mem
bers of the general army staff are us
ing as a model the military system
now in use i'm the Argentine Republic
This bill, II is believed. will be ready
to submit to Secretary of War Baker

One of the objects of the system
that is being worked out by the mill
tary experts is to produce 100000
trained soldiers within a few years.
IL is intended then to proceed with
the training of men until 1,0Q0,000
men can be put in the field at mo-
ment's notice, with a million and a
half available trained men in reserve
The measure which the army staff
is preparing also provides that every
able-bodied male between Is and 40
years of age in the United States shall
be liable for military duty in the mill
tia on the outbreak of war, with
out further action of Congress. The
president is also empowered to draft
men to keep the battalions full at the
front should voluntary enlistments
fail to fill the vacancies. =

Offers To BUY
CLUB PROPERTY

new angle Gin the fight between
the Country Club and George Sherman
and the residents of Puunui as to
whether Circle drive or Hawaii street
extension is the better mauka outlet.
developed last night at the meeting of
the board of supervisors, when letters
which John F.. G. Stokes had sent Of
fering to buy from the Country Club
and Sherman the land through which
Circle drive is proposed to run, was
read. The reason for the offer, ac-
cording to the letters, was to combat
the contention that the land would
not be benefited by the improvement.
The offer to the Country Club is a
price equivalent per acre to five times
the average taxation valuation per
acre on the Whole and that to Sher-
man the taxation valuation plus 10
per cent. In both cases the terms are
$500 down on acceptance, to be paid
when the board creates the Puunui
district and the balance to be paid
one month after the creation upon
receipt of the deeds. Stokes said
that he would pay all assessments and
that the offer would remain open for
ii days.
The supervisors did not comment on
the offer and the letters were ordered
filed.

cities of the kingdom give their place
of honor to the order of the day is
sued by the Car of Russia to his
troops, outlining the objects for which
the Russians are fighting. and some
of the most influential of the journals
insist that the other members of the
Entente follow the example OF Russia
and tell the world for what they are
continuing the war and upon what
terms they will end it.
Reports from Switzerland reaching
here last night represent the condl-
tion of affairs in Austro-Hungary as
being desperate-so serious, indeed.
that the Dual Monarchy is said to be
on the point of making oyertures for
a separate peace with England and
France, preferring peace with humilia-
ton to the almost certain bankruptcy
and ruin that awaits continuation of
the war, no matter what the outcome
may be.
This report is given little credence
by officials here, who declared their
disbelief of any report that the Aus.
trian government would attempt a
separate peace, leaving Germany in
the lurch.
