We have just this significant COM
munication to the Chicago Tribune, which is less a
complaint of the governments inattention to the
national guard than of system:
San Antonio Tex, July 23.-(Editor of The
Tribune If has any doubt of the unfairness
of any system of military preparedness other than
universal service let him enlist in the national guard
and become convinced The volunteer system is
unfair and inefficient The law federalizing the
national guard will also knock it out. This is the
sentiment of >all with whom have come in contact,
CORPORAL"
Everybody knew that the system was unfair and
Inefficient that it served nobody but towards and
'slackers The effect of the wild goose chase to the
border cannot think, fail to have bad effect
upon the guard. Many of the members will refuse
reenst when their present terms of service expire
and they will not be enthusiastic advisers Of others
enlist.
But good thing will result 1t has been made
palmer than that there be efficient and
fair military system that is based upon universal
training and compulsory service.

COPPER DEMAND To

National Conduit G. Cable Co. a
large user of copper. in its monthly
circular says:
The future undoubtedly will witness
a renewal of active buying, although
there is a strong conviction In some
quarters that a reasonable readiust-
ment in market values will be neces-
sary in order to stimulate liberal buy
ing. The situation at this writing is
largely waiting one, and new devel-
opments are likely at any time.
The outlook for heavy consump-
ton Of copper during the balance OF
the year is excellent. For a long time
to come. manufacturing activity is as
sured. Melting continues about as il
has for some time, and this feature OF
the situation indicates an underlying
soundness deserving particular consid-
Grafton. The tremendous pressure put
upon manufacturing capacity for many
months has afforded an outlet for m
enormous tonnage of copper. Unusual
