War Department
Held Responsible for
Delay in Mobilization

~ on the war department today by
Major John F. Organ, commanding
the New York Division of the state
forces. in testifying before the Senate
subcommittee on universal service.
Adjutant General Louis w. Stotesbury
of New York, and Captain James r.
Burns of the Third Illinois Infantry,
| joined in defending the guaro.
For Universal Service
All three officers agreed in favoring
, universal service legislation, although
they had differing ideas as to how it
should be applied. General Organ out
lined plan under which boys would
be required in their 18th year to elect
the course of service they preferred,
whether in the regular army, the ma
tional guard. or some civil capacity. In
common with the other two officers,
he declared that complete federaliza-
ton of the state troops must be eff
fected to insure efficient service and
believed this could be accomplished
by simple amendment Of the nation
al defense act.
Generals Organ and Stotesbury de-
clared the report on the national guard
mobilization prepared by the militia
bureau was unfair to the state SER
vice. They disclaimed any thought
that army officials had issued 1t for
the purpose of discrediting and break
ing down the guard, Gen. Organ say
ing the action was due to "conserva-
tive prejudice and ignorance Of real
conditions"
Both generals said the greatest Diff
f1culty was the fact that under de-
partmental regulations, the equipment
to be provided by the government was
not on hand in the mastering places.
While war department regulations
may have been to blame to some ex-
tent" Senator Chamberlain interject-
ed, Congress was also to blame for
recommendations of the department
for this equipment had been repeated
ly rejected"
'"That is true said Gen. Stotesbury.
'and I'll go further than that. The
people were to blame. They did not
approve proper preparations.

is going forward with its plans for car
ly withdrawal of Pershing's expedition
and rehabilitation of the National

that unless there was some unexpected
development. Pershing's withdrawal and
the return of the guardsmen would be
the end of this week The reports on
Villas new campaign apparently have
not disturbed this determination but
they have somewhat tewildered officials
and in the end may CT crate to hold UP
orders until a more thorough investi-
cation has been made. Army officers
contend that the Pershing force would
be in a far better military position If
withdrawn and re-grouped, but they are
anxious to locate the Villa forces more
definitely before there is any American
movement.
Border dispatches today transmitting
rumors that the guarGsmen would be
ordered home within five days were
heard by war department officials with
out comment. General Funston has ex-
ercised wide discretion regarding de-
tails of troop disposition. and 1t Is as
sumed generally that the exact date will
depend largely upon his assessment of
conditions along the border and in the
territory where Villa is operating,

Learning to play Columbia Grafonola is

the instrument yourself.
You will find no lack of opportunity to play
Columbia Grafonola at any Columbia store.
They are very glad to have you play the
Grafonola as much as you like, and the more
you hear it the better the chances are that you
will finally buy Columbia GrafonoIa.
1t may be few weeks before you will be
ready to buy phonograph, but there is abso-
lutely no reason why you should not put in
that time with pleasure and profit
The Columbia salesroors are operated for no

to see the Columbia instruments and to hear
the Columbia records. 1t is we'll understood by
