NATIONAL GUARD
OPINION DIVIDED
Two Recommendations Will
Go Before Congress From
Convention
Bv .4Esoeiatea Ptess

New York March 80. The opinions
of the National Guard concerning the
method of raising a big army is divided.
and two separate recommendations will
he sent to Congress. These recommen-
dations agree in advocating compulsory
military training; but one of them IA
Vors retention of the present National
Guard although under Federal control.
while the other does not mention the
militia.
The first OF these recommendations
was adopted yesterday at the close of
the National Defense convention of the
National Guard Association of the Unit
ed States. 1t provides that the National
Guard be taken out of the militia class
and become "a veritable Federal force"
under control of the general staff.
After the convention had adjourned
militiamen assembled at a meeting in
the same armoTy, called by the Uni
Versal Service Committee of Veterans
of the National Guard and Naval Mill
tia, and adopted a resolution favorinS
''universal military training and SER
vice under exclusive Federal control for
male citizens. of the United States of
suitable age"
Officers of the Veterans committee
declared that the convention had taken
its vote earlier than they expected and
that they had not been given proper
opportunity to present their views.

THE TORPEDO CAR

Although the use of modern artil-
1ery has worked a revolution in bat
tlep ractice, preparing the way for an
infantry charge entails a staggering
cost. For that reason inventors have
tried and indeed still are trying, to
substitute some agency which will re-
place the big guns and do their work
cheaper but no less efficiently.
The torpedo car ViVidly pictured
i'm the Popular Science Monthly is
said to be such an agency. 1t con-
isists of a torpedo carrying several
hundred pounds of high explosive
mounted on a chassis. 1t may be pro-
Ipelled either by gas, steam, COM
pressed air or a storage battery adm
electric motor, all depending on it's
contemplated use and the estimated
range of action.
The car is guided and fired by
means of cables and wires in the hands
lof the attacking party. The control
cable is attached to a valve in the
supply pipe connecting the cylinders
of the engine with the boiler, operat-
ing the speed of the car The charge
is fired by means of n wire attached
ITO the trigger.
If it is found that the torpedo can
mot reach the enemy because of
rough ground, the control cable may
lbe used to close the valve and to
idraw the machine back to the trench
for aiming it in a new direction. A
Wiidlass is provided for this purpose.
Spiked wheels insure traction.

HOW A BOY STARTED
PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY

Before the United States acsquired
them the Hawaiian Islands were fa-
nous chiefly for their natives and
their leper colony. There were no
special cultivation of the soil. no trade
and no commercial industries of value.
But since the annexation to the Unit
ed States in 1900. American enthusi-
asm and American progressiveness
have invaded the land, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly. The pineapple
industry is one of the best illustra-
tions of the result of this American
izing. 1t was started almost by
chance, by a comparatively unedu-
Gated, inexperienced New England lad.
the son of a clergyman. He chose to
locate in Hawaii on account of its
wonderful climate, and finding that
the pineapples were especially luscious
and that they grew quickly and abun-
dainty, he persuaded his father to Sc
cure a few thousand dollars for him
to start him in the pineapple raising
business. 1t was a veritable get-rich-
quick scheme. 1t has netted fortunes
to each one of those friendly parish
toner's who advanced money.

In the event of war being declared
between the United States and Ger
many, it is said to be the present plan
of the Administration to chiefly aid the
Allies in a financial sense. 1t is said
that England and France would much
prefer aid of this character rather than
the raising of an army, which could
not be completed for year or more.
Steps are being taken, it is said. to
have Congress authorize the President
should war be declared, to use from

Many, Bullets Fall On
American Side

Preside, Tex, Nov. 14.-Spreading
his 1900 troops in fan-shapcd forma-
tion about Ojinaga, Francisco Villa at
tackled the Mexican city, opposite here,
today. Three outposts of government
forces were killed or captured, and all
others driven into the city.
From the mission in San Antonio, a
village within rifle range Of Ojinaga,
which the Villa forces had previously
taken, deadly hail of machine gun
bullets was poured into the ranks of
the government troops defending Dim
aga, under General Espinosa CordOva.
The attacking forces quickly captured
arroyas near the town.
The government troops, with guns
mounted on house tops, resisted desper-
ately.
American cavalry is patrolling the
border line along the Rio Grande, and
many bullets have fallen across the line
on American soil. A horde of Mexican
women and children sought refuse
across the border in Preside.
Villa himself has not been seen with
his troops, but one of his soldiers told
a United Press representative that the
bandit leader is directing the fight from
San Antonio( Mexico).

London, Nov. 14.-The fight against
Premier Lloyd Georges support of an
inter-allied war council came to head
in the house of commons this afternoon
when the premier himself took the floor
to explain the agreement creating the
organization.
He emphasized that the inter-allied
war council had emo executive power.
"Final decisions as to strategy and
as to the movement of troops, will rest
with the governments, he declared.
"'The allies object in the plans was
to have a representative central body
which should watch the whole opera
tions of the war and coordinate plans
and, if necessary, propose new ones.''
Lloyd George suggested that the
house devote next Monday to a detail
ed debate ON the whole war council plan.
He then read in full the agreement be-
tween the three governments of Eng
land, France and Italy creating the
war council.

Dear Sir: Among the thousands of
men in Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Washing
ton, there may be some men from your
city who find camp life monotonous
and lonely, and who would enjoy max
ing friends in the city. We have many
people here who are anxious to be of
service and who would gladly open
their homes to the soldiers. If there
are fathers and mothers in your city
who would like TO have us look up their
boys and to interest them in church,
lodge, home or club, am sure we shall
count it a privilege to do so if they
viii give US their reg1mest and com
pany address. We can find them with
out this but it takes time and trouble
co do so. However, If the boy has not
written, send as his name.
l am writing only to the papers in
the larger cities in your state and I
shall be very glad to have you give
this letter as prominent a place as
possible and also TO ask your country
papers to copy.
Yours very truly,

He's getting contemptous of whist

is getting Injured to wearing a gas
mask when the Boche drops some
smelly gas shells over; he doesn t mind
the tattoo of machine gun bullets;
he s a pure fatalist when it comes to
shells banging away close by. He s
just as carefree as an American kid
but back in his head he s aching for
a chance at Fritz.
Thds is the impression one gets to-
day after mixing with the latest dc.

lieved from their duty in front line
trenches and after a survey of the
new detachment which went into their
first job in the front line trenches. 1t
is the third American unit to undergo
this experience
While Sammy on the ground is long
ing for his chance at grips with the
enemy, aviation officers are getting
their chance. American aviators have
participated with French flyers in
night raids, bombing artillery observa-
tions behind the German lines. This Is
the final stage in their battle training
comparable to the sort of training
the infantry is getting in the Frenea
trenches.
The young American officer who
was knocked out from shell shock OF
the occasion of the German raid which
cost the lives of three American SOL
diers returned to duty with his regi-
ment today completely recovered.
He reported the men in his unit as
eager to get back into action. He
learned that on the night after the
German raid had taken several of their
comrades, the remainder begged hard
for permission to make a counter raid.

force is increasingly alert and in

New York, Nov. 14.-Proposals Of the
allied governments for the formation of
a unity of command tor all fronts will
not be carried out in practice. Indica-

Marshal Won Hindenburg and General
Won Ludendorff possess their vast

supreme military command, but also be-
cause the political leaders Of Germany

Of government is the principal obstacle
to peace and was the reason why the

It is impossible for the allies to give
their own military leaders the political

change of this nature not only would
react unfavorably against the allies po-
litically; but also might cause military
disaster by overwhelming the allies
generals with political problems no
democratic soldier is competent to ham
die.
The united military control of the
central powers has had terrible disas-
ters that must not be forgotten. If
the allies were to accept the principle
Of the Won Hindenburg dictatorship,
which allied country would volunteer
to be deserted as Won Hindenburg has
been compelled to desert Turkeyf 1t was
the German dictatorship that preceded
Won Hindenburg's drive which shatter-
ed itself to pieces against Verdun,
while the still earlier relationships lost
the battle of the Marne and could not
break through the weaker Anglo-French
lines in the great series of battle for
Calais.
The present is time for doing every
possible thing to strengthen the allies
military position because of the Italian
