Great Britain's Growing Armies.

Moving In the House of Commons a
call for l,OOO,OOO more men, Mr.. AS
quith made yesterday the statement
that Great Britain has on all fronts a
fighting force of l, ,2bO, 900 men.
British losses to date are roughly
100000. Making utmost allowance for
slightly wounded men returned to the
line, Great Britain and her colonies
must have furnished more than 500,
600 men. The number training or held
In reserve Mr.. Asquith does not give
1t is about as great. The total Of Lord
Derby's registration, against which
calls will be made class by class, may
not fall far short OF 2,OOO,OOO.
Il BY comparison with Great Britain's
past these figures are impressive. The
Expeditionary Army was 10000
strong, but it went into action with
$4,000 awing to urgent need, and as
reinforcements did not run much
ahead of losses in retreat, 1t number
ed but 100000 at the Aisne. From In
dian, Colonial and Territorial troops
the number was kept up until Kit
chener's army" began to appear.
Egypt, the Dardanelles, SalOnica and
India have swallowed troops, SO that
the line in France is still, as on Nov.
2, well short of u million men.
;. For the first time In Il century Great
Britain is now II first-class war power
on land. BY May she should have q
OOO, 600 men facing the enemy but her
land armies can hardly reach a max
imum before 1917, should the war last
so long.-Durango Democrat.

Military Training.

BY all processes of modern financial
the medical profession
should be solidly opposed to universal
military training, for it would reduce
the number of their fees from rs to 80
per cent. Military training is with
out doubt the best physical touic in
existence for young men and boys.
The system of physical training In
the army, If pursued for u reasonable
length OF time, will transform a weak
and puny lad into a strong, robust
and healthy young man. 1t produces
an erect carriage, strengthens and
stimulates u healthy and vigorous ac-
tion to the lungs, builds up u magnif-
icent physique, renders q young man
amenable to dicipline, developes his
mentality, and eventually produces .
ssnAn capAbis. of -sucseasfa,lly y coping
with the innumerable obstacles that
beset ones pathway through life. But
be 1t said to the honor of the medical
profession that they do not oppose
military training, for they know and
will frankly tell you Of the magnifi-
cent race of people fifty years ofsuch
training would produce in this cOun-
try-a race of people who mentally
and physically would be the finest
specimens of manhood i'll the world.

The Pioneers.

Despite the unfavorable weather, .
large attendance was at the Pioneer
reunion and dance Wednesday even-
ing.
AT the business meeting Mr. l.. 8.
Bloomfield was elected president, F.
n. JoHantgen, vice president and l..
b. Walbridge, secretary. treasurer for
the ensuing year.
The dance and supper which fol-
lowed was one OF tho most enjoyable
ever given by the society.
The hall was tastefully decorated
by the Misses Marguerite Shaver and
Marguerite Harp.
Mrs. Otto Metzger presided over
the supper, which was fine.
Salty was-as usual-the right man
at the right place.
The music was good-couldn't be
better; and Charley Bloomfield kept
them dancing till four O'Clock Thurs
day morning.

Wilson Again.

And, exactly rs a good many sane
people expected, Austria came down
the pole without II protest. conceding
all the demands contained In Mr.. VIII
sons note concerning the Ancons-
The result is that the severance Of
diplomatic relations will cease to exist
as a remote, red-ink-headline possi-
bility, and the world will resume the
even tenor of its ways.
There continue to be certain num-
bey of irrationals who think Germany
and Austria are fairly famishing for
war with the United States in addi.
tion to their present load of trouble.
That sort of people will continue to
exist as long as situations like the
present exist. They will not realize
that Germany and Austria have a
pretty fair handful at present and are
not searching the world for more.
The result OF the Ancona incident is
another victary for Wilson. Possibly
Col. Roosevelt will not admit 1t, but
will adhere to his belief that we should
take on all the countries of Europe,
one at time, but in spite of that the
world will wag along, relieved to know
that MIR. Wilson's keen appreciation
of situations and his high diplomacy
have made it easy to avoid trouble
when 1t threatened once more.
Moreover, the termination of the
incident should show certain people
that the contempt which is said by
yellow newspapers to exist toward the
United States in the minds Of foreign
ers is largely fiction. They apparently
entertain profound respect for the
righteousness and quiet bravery of
the United States, in addition to a
degree of respect for the right when
1t is presented in convincing terms
