WORKER OF WOMAN'S
 PARTY MAKES SPEECH
IFrom Thurrdnr,. nniIr Miner1


 Rose Winslow of the National Woman's Party, spoke to large aud fence at the corner of Front and Fourth street last evening. Her SUD- posed theme was Justice For The Woman Who Toils", but to her listen CTS it appeared that her topic should have been "Down With The Tyrant, Wilson"
 Her whole time and attention was given to a tirade against the Presi- dent and all of his actions. The prin- cipal crime of which she accused him was his failure to give the time con- sumed by consideration of such trivial matters as the European war, threat ened railroad strike and the like to rushing a bill through congress for the national enfranchisement of women.
 Miss Winslow passed the hat to offset the impression that she was in the hire of the Republican party, but if the fair lady is not she is over looking some bets, as it would be mighty poor politician who would not be willing to pay for the boosting for the Republicans she offered to her listeners last night. With all due respect to the lady's ability as speaker, it would take a better spell binder than she to make the wage earners of America believe that Presi- dent Wilson is not their friend.

With American Punitive Expe-
dition In Mexico.

Headquarters, American Punitive
Expedition, Mexico.-The army motor
truck train Is highly efficient unit
Of the American army and plays an
important part in the life of this eX-
petition. And the truck drivers, as
picturesque a set of pirates as ever
scuttled n can of gasoline, bring a
new type into the service that is not
without merit.
There is something heroic about
driving the immense cars across the
forbidding trails that try to jerk the
wheels from the drivers hands and
send the motors slithering to destruc-
ton in some deep and rocky arroyo.
But 1t is doubtful If the motors
and their drivers will ever achieve the
fame Of the army mule and his mas
ter, the army mule skinner. There
Is an intelligence behind mulish mis-
chief that cannot be achieved by a
disordersd carburetor In the center
of the desert. There Is an element In
the contest of mulish stubbornness
and mule SINNERS language that is
not rivaled when a motor settles down
in the deepest rut and refuses to
bulge.
Gabriel Takes to His Heels.
This is the story of one Of these
contests:
Gabriel, q wise old mule that has
become a veteran In the service, took
advantage of his masters careless
ness at the picket line. He slipped a
Charlevoix county herald., 1916-10-06

loose halter, edged toward the end of
the line, and a moment later was gal
Looping TO freedom. A moment later,
too, the mule skinner discovered Ga
briefs flight and singed the atmos-
phere with conversation that would
never pass the censor.
"Oh, you double-dyed offspring of
perdition," he remarked when he grew
calmer, II sure will skin you alive for
this"
Then he picked up young log,
about the size Of wagon tongue, and
started In pursuit. Gabriel made a
regular mules chase of IL. He wait
ed until the mule skinner was within
striking distance. Then, with gay
FLIP of his heels, he was off to a
point a quarter of a mile distant.
Here he paused long enough to bray
ironically.
MAY all the alfalfa you eat turn
to barbed wire In your copper-riveted
lnsides," swore the mule skinner, as
he trudged through the alkali dust In
pursuit. BY this time the whole camp
was watching. Brother mule SINNERS
were offering sarcastic advice to Ga
briefs master. Gabriel rolled lazily
in the dust, waggled his ears, brayed
some more and otherwise Informed
the world that he was having a splen-
did time.
The chase lasted two hours. Even
Gabriel seemed to tire. AS for the
mule skinner, he was reduced to an
exhausted human, spurred on only by
the desire to capture one slender
legged mule and splinter the club he
still carried between the two long
ears. Gabriel loafed along toward Of
ficers' row, with the mule skinner dog
trotting In pursuit.
Saved by Pershing.
In front Of General Pershing's tent
waves the red flag with white star
that symbolizes the commanders
quarters. Toward this flag Gabriel
ambled. There. with q meek and in
nocent look in his eyes, Gabriel came
to a dead stop and waited.
To the spot the mule skinner crept,
taking a fresh hold with both hands
on his club. He waved 1t couple
Of times testingly as he came.

dropped his club. He approached Ga
briel softly. He patted his neck ten

"Why do you act like this. Gabrielf''
he asked. "Why can't you be like the
other nice mulesf"
Then he led Gabriel away. Gabriel,
the veteran, smiled wise, mulish
smile.

Proposals for the increase Of the
military forces Of the United State
are at last before Congress. Last
week the House went into committee
of the whole to consider the Hey
bill reported unanimously by the
Committee on Military Affairs of
that body. on the same day Chair
man Chamberlain Of the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs reported
with the unanimous Endorsement of
that committee his bill for the reor-
ganization and enlargement Of the
army. Both measures, 1t may be said
contemplate the improvement of the
National Guard. Speaking generally
the House bill provides for regular
army OF 100000 men in time of peace
with provision for expansion in war
time, while the Senate bill aims o
increase that force to about $4,000
men. The House bill makes proyi-
sion for an expansion of the peace
strength of the army to about 100000
men, while the Senate bill arranges
for an increase to about 100000 men,
Observers generally looked for the
passage of the Hay bill in substanti-
ally the form in which 1t was report
ed by the committee, and this fore
cast was borne out by the event, as
far as regards the size of the army
provided for. Mr.. Hay declared In
the course Of debate that the bill was
in effect the Presidents bill, and
this declaration without doubt has
strengthened Its position in the
House, as did the statement of Speak
er Clark that he regarded 1t as a
measure of reasonable preparedness. y"

public service. This amendment was
adopted, as was also another propos
ed by Mr.. Good OF Iowa. authorizing
the Secretary OF War to keep list
OF all plants which may be available
for the manufacture of munitions in
the event of war.
Still another amendment which was
adopted provides for an extension OF
military training among the youth of
the country Under this provision
regular army officers are to be de
tailed as instructors in every school
and college where cadet corps OF
more than 100 students is maintain
ed. A course of military training is
required in such institutions cover
ing three hours a week during the
last two years. After graduation the
cadets will have six months OF train
ing with the regular army and then
go into an officers reserve corps,
signing an agreement to respond to
n call at any time within ten years.
This amendment secured an almost
unanimous vote. further amend
ment offered by Representative Kahn
gives the President authority to or
der into service without the previous
specific consent of Congress the re-
serve Of the regular army provided
by the bill On Wednesday an amend
ment offered by Representative Hay
den Of Arizona was adopted which
provides that when National Guard

fighting force during war or when
war is imminent, there shall be or
ganized at the home Of the regiment
from the enlisted reserve Of the Ma
tional Guard a reserve battalion that
can be drawn upon to fill gaps in the
regiment. Efforts to incorporate in
the bill a provision relieving the mi
litia from strike duty" failed on
more than one occasion.
The final stage in the consideration
OF the bill in the House was reached
when it passed by an almost unan'
imous vote--402 to 2. Record votes
were had upon the amendment OF
Mr.. Gardner providing for q short
term enlistment and that of Mr..
Kahn providing for the increase Of
the army to 100000 men. The first
mentioned amendment was again ad
opted by closer vote than IN com
