ESTABLISHED
President Issues Order Pro-
viding for Auxiliary to
Regular Army.

President Wilson yesterday signed an
order esta ablishing a special aeronautical
Ieserve for the United States army. The
reserve will be comprised of enough
trained flyers and expert merchandising to
provide an aerial squadron for each Of
the twelve aeronautical divisions of the
National Guard. Any civilian in any
State may join the reserve provided he
has the flying and mechanical ability
necessary.
The War Department views the Presi-
dents order as one of the most important
steps yet taken by this government to
develop military aeronautics on a prac-
teal and comprehensive scale.
The recommendation for the aerial re-
serye came from the War Department.
The order yesterday will bring 297 Of
icers and 1900 enlisted men to the aerial
reserve. 1t is estimated that it will take
approximately six months to train them.

U. S., as Santa Claus,
Puts End to Revolt

The administration has at
last found a means of dealing
with the revolt in Santo Do
ningo which is working like a
charm.
1t consists of rounding up
the so-called government
troops and the supporters of
Gen. Arias, the revolutionary
leader, and paying them the
salaries which neither Arias
nor any one else in Santo Do
mingo has been in a position
to pay.
Indications are that the
American marine forces,
which were regarded as enc
mics, are now becoming as
popular as Santa Claus. Rear
Admiral Caperton reported
yesterday that conditions were
rapidly improving.
