attention TO how far away from the

Is running In making some laws, and
how close some members want TO stick

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Lieuten-
ant General Bridges, a member of the
British commission, declared here to-
day in Il talk with newspaper corre-
spondents that the British democracy
had become almost fanatical" over
universal military service. The vol
unteer system under which the en-
pire entered the war, General Bridges
said, has cost the lives Of the most
valuable citizens, crippled Industrial
mobilization and immeasurably set
back England's efforts in the war.
War" said General Bridges, "is
no longer war Of expeditions, but is
a case of nation against nation. Men,
women and children are equally
drawn into its vortex, the women and
children being forced into industry
and fed on half rations In order TO
supply the men at the front. War has
become an immensely democratic bus
mess and needs the full effort of
every member of the community, d.
rected along the lines most necessary
to be served"

ly of the difficulties which had beset
England when, at the beginning Of
the war, she converted herself from
a peace to n war basis and began the
immense increase of her army from
a small force TO one OF the largest in
Europe
The source of our greatest diff
Guilty said General Bridges. was the
sending to Europe practically all of
our trained army as an eXpeditionany
force. This robbed us Of all training
officers for our new armies and it was
only thru recently returned wounded
officers and the withdrawal of others
that we were able to build the skele-
ton for our new forces. At the same
time we allowed most of our better
class youths. university men i'm many
cases, to enter the ranks. which with

Eight Months to Train Division.
General Bridges estimated eight
months rs the necessary time to train
a division, individual recruits. how
ever, may be made fit to go to the
front in a short space OF II weeks,
provided they are distributed in pro
portions of fifty AMONGST two hundred

five times as valuable a training as
peace is.
ARTILLERY must be in great pre-
ponderance," General Bridges said,
''hefore an attack can be initiated.
The bayonet, however, is still essen

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION
GREAT AID TO CALIPATRIA

That the construction of the rail-
road at Calipatria is proving a great
boom for the farm lands in that vi
cinity is evidenced by the great num-
ber of calls which Mr.. H. H. Clark,
the manager of the Farm Lands AS
sociation and agent for the Calipa-
,ria Farms, has been receiving for
farms both large and small from diff
ferent parts of the Valley as well as
from outside sections.
'1t appears that people were just
waiting for the actual work of con-
struction to begin," says Mr.. Clark
"as they knew that the railroad would
mean a big thing for these farms, but
they wanted to be sure that the road
was actually to be built.
"Now every day sees, not only one,
but many farmers coming up to be
shown out over the lands and surprise
is expressed on every hand at the
tremendous amount of improvement
work that has been done and at the
great number of farms that are be-
ing placed under cultivation and put
into crop.
"The North End is now coming
into its own and the people who have
felt all along that conditions here
were the best for farming, provided
water was assured, are now backing
their convictions by taking up the
land and getting it into CROP"

CAR CONDITIONS NOT TO
BE NORMAL FOR MONTHS

That traffic conditions in the North
west will feel the car congestion for
several months, is the opinion of shippers
who claim to be on the inside. James
J. McCaull, Minneapolis grain dealer,
who attended the meeting of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission as repre-
sentive of the Northwest shippers, says
it will be midsummer before car con-
ditions are normal.
Under a ruling of the commission,
Minneapolis is to receive $50 empty
cars each week, in addition to the usual
number of empties provided by the un-
loading in that city. While the ruling
ostensibly applies to Minneapolis, the
action of the Commerce Commission
will help the entire Northwest, which
would be in the very nature of things.
It is claimed the first installment of these
cars have already been started west.
Mr.. McCaull says the Eastern roads
have about Is per cent of the cars be.

the east and have been unable to return
them except when loaded.
"The conditions are worse in the east
than in the west, according to Mr.. Nc
Caull, and he says the congestion is much
