Secretary Garrison was questioned
for more than two hours.

rotary Garrison, "that every citizen
should be under identical responsible
tiles as every other citizen as to his
duties to the nation.
The secretary asserted also that the
only wholly adequate basis for mill
tary policy was one resting on COM
pulsory service.
Representative Shallenberger asked
Mr. Garrison if a universal military
obligation did nc@ make it possible for
nations to be drawn into war despite
the wishes of the majority of their
people.
81 do not think France or Germany
would be waging war if the majority
of their people did not favor it," he
said. mo nation ever is at war at

"Do you think this nation was be-

Secretary Garrison replied that he
was not in the diplomatic service and
his part in the Vera Cruz incident was
merely that of an agent.
There is no military past In the
United States where a division Of
troops can be housed and cared for,
Mr.. Garrison told the committee. That
condition, he said, however, would not
limit the effectiveness of the CONT

"What we want is an articulated
skeleton that can function" he said.
''It makes no difference now whether
we have a little more or less flesh

steps had been taken toward working

while robbing the postoffice here
early today with the result that three
Of the band are in hospital with bull

quiet little place to thriving town
of about $4,000 persons. On pay day
at the powder plant, two weeks ago.
an attempt was made to rob the post
office and as yesterday was again pay
day, another visit from the robbers
was anticipated. Chief Marshal Har-
beson. of PENIS Grove enlisted the
services of half a dozen citizens to
help his force of four policemen and
postal officials sent four inspectors
All were armed.
The postoffice was surrounded at
midnight by this guard and at 2:3n as
the robbers silently approached the
little building from different direc-
tions, broke open the 'front.' door and
entered. One man remained OUTSIDE
as lookout. Soon afterward the posse
closed in on the postoHf1ce and the
lookout opened fire. Instantly the
other robbers appeared at doors and
windows and started shooting, the
posse returning the fire vigorously.
The robbers retreated under the con-
tinuous fire of the posse but three of
them fell wounded. They were taken
to the hospital where they gave their
names as John Mayo, AZ years, st.
Paul, Mimi, Frank Matson, 80, Gales
burg, Ill, and Charles Collins. Mayo
and Matson were shot in the arm. Col
