There is not the slightest likelihood
of the First Squadron of Virginia Cav
airy. formerly the Richmond Blues. be-
ing transferred back to an infantry or
ganization, according to letter re-
ceivcd yesterday by Adjutant General
William Wilson Sale from Major f. w.
Bowles, commander OF the cavalry.
Major Bowles stated that all OF the
members were enthusiastic about their
new work. and he does not believe they
would be willing to go back into in
fantry under any conditions.
The Blues have been getting the ad-
vantage of real service during the past
month. and General Sale has been re-
Ceiving some very gratifying reports
regarding their activities The men are
rapidly rounding into shape. and their
training and increasing knowledge in
cavalry work have equipped them fol
much important service. Major Bowles
writes as follows regarding a recent
move of Troop b. commanded by Cap
tain Matthew r James:
Letter From Major Bowies.
Saturday night. January 10, about
. o'clock. word came that a band of
Mexicans had crossed the river and
were burning bridges. branding cattle
etc. and Troop B. with two days ra-
lions and forage, was sent to villa
Nueva- 1t was horribly cold. but they
got out without any trouble. and are
still doing patrol duty there. They are
seeing real service. for this Is the worst
norther We have had, the weather being
very cold and rainy"
Major Bowles expressed the hope
that the city would take Immediate
steps to assure facilities for the sta
bling OF the horses OF the Blues on
their return. The future OF the orsani~
cation in at stake. and in view or the
excellent record being made by the
command, he believes the city should
make arrangements 70 save the cavalry
from embarrassment and possible dis
handment
Plans viii be started in order that
a parade of the entire squadron VIII
be held in Richmond on the arrival
Of the men. Major Bowies states that
they have not sufficient horses 70
mount all of the troops. but he hopes
that arrangements can be made to Dor
row horses for the review. IT has
been twenty-five years since any cav
airy paraded In Richmond. Major
Bowles stated in his letter. and he De
ueves 1t would arouse interest In the
work Of the organization.

PRESIDENT Is SOWING

SEEDS OF WAR
Professional pacifists of the Bry-
an type can not or will not see that
policy Of national unpreparedness
and systematic yielding to the pres
sure of aggressive governments can
lead on to one or two calamities OF
both-the loss of national indepen-
dence or a disastrous and losing wal
fought by hastily gathered and un-
trained levies against the enemy's
we'll drilled and disciplined troops.
All history instructs us that there
are always in tire world aggressive
and warlike nations expanding by in
vasion of the rights and interests OF
yielding countries. They are firm
and insistent In their demands, and
what they cannot get by asking and
demanding they take by fighting.
A belief has spread throughout tn.
world that national spirit is all blu,
dead in the United States. Within
the last four years no other countr.
with the possible exception of China
has yielded under pressure as mucl.
as the United States has yielded.
It all traces back to the appoint.
ment of Mr.. Bryan as secretary OF
state, following the defeat OF Mr.
Roosevelt in the presidential cam
paign of 1912. Sagacious statesmen
naturally construed that double event
as indicative Of the desire of the peo-
pie Of America to covet peace at any
price.
President Wilson's early utterances
and attitude tended to strengthen
that thought, and when he let sir
his unfortunate declaration that WI
were too proud to fight" aggressive
pressure was exerted upon the gov
eminent from numerous and widely
scattered capitals.
President Wilson blundered wher
he went before congress to plead foi
the repeal Sof the sections of tn,
Panama canal law, which exempted
Amrican coastwise shipping from tn,
payment OF tolls. To achieve his pur
pose he INDUCED in alarming intim
atoms that If congress refused to re
peal the law grave International com
plications would follow which he die
not know how to meet.
His administration has brought
four years of constant yielding o
national rights and interests. HI
has yielded again and again to Car
rama. He has yielded to boil
groups of the warning countries IL
Europe. More recently he yielded
to Japanese pressure against the pas
sage of impending land laws at Bots,
and Salem. In effect, he has SO fai

WRESTLING MATCH AT OVID

The wrestling match, Cotton kim
ball of Alton VS.. Arnold zumbrunnen
of Montpelier, which was to have
been pulled off at Olson's hall, Ovid,
last Saturday night had to be called
off thru no fault OF either of the
participants or the promoters. 1t
was impossible for Kimball to get
to Montpelier from Alton on account
of the heavy snow fall.
Zumbrunnen informed us this
morning that the match will positive
ly take place on Saturday night,
March 10, at Olsons hall.
Arnold has been training hard
every day doing road work and
wrestling. Tomorrow night he will
wrestle willard Peart of Randolph
at that place. This match will help
him a great deal in the one on the
10th with Kimball. Word comes
from Alton that Kimball is coming
over with the intention Of carrying
away the honors, but the local boy
says he will certainly have to 90
some If he wins.
Remember the date and place
Saturday, March 10, at O'Clock

MONTPELIER rs GROWING

MONTPELIER rs GROWING
The coming season promises to be
an active one in the building line in
Montpelier. Contracts already let
amount to approximately $4,000
and II other building propositions
which are contemplated go thru, the
total will run to $4,000 or bet
ter. This 10 not bad for town the
size OF Montpelier, and is another
proof of the statement that Montpe-
lier is soon destined to become a
town OF twice the present population
1t always has ana always will be the
commercial center Of Bear Lake val
ley. Unlike many western towns 1t
has never experienced a boom, with
the attending reaction. and there is
nothing to indicate that 1t will ever
have boom. But that its growth
will be steady and assured, there is
no question.
One thing that will materially aid
its growth is the construction OF good
roads thruout the valley, and espec-
tally a good road to Alton. With the
rapidly increasing auto traffic 1t is
absolutely essential that the road be
made a first class highway at the
earliest date possible, for with the
erection of the large cold storage
plant in Montpelier this year by the
Mutual Creamery Co.. it means that
traffic over this road will be large
ly increased. Then with the construc-
ton of the road thru the grand can
yon OF the Snake, the road from
Montpelier will become the greatest
scenic auto route to the Yellowstone
park. This fact alone should arouse
every bushes man In the town to
the need OF giving their moral as well
as much of their financial support as
possible to the construction of a
good road from here to Alton.
The fact that Montpelier has a
splendid public school system. is an.
other thing that is causing the town
to grow. People from the country
are already being attracted to the
city in order that their children may
have the benefit OF its schools. In
fact the outside attendance has be.
come so large that the building, es.
peciall the high school, is taxed tc
its capacity, and It is a matter of only
short time. not more than year
until another bond issue will be nee
esary in order to provide funds for
the erection of another building OF
enlarge the high school. This must
be done II we expect to keep pace
with the times.
There are other things which must

And now there 10 revolution in
Cuba. We gave Cuba Its indepen-
dence after the war with Spain. A
revolution followed and we had to
clean it up. Then we turned back
the government to the Cubans. but
the Senate passed a resolution warn
ing them that If another revolution
arose, and the United States was COM
PEELED to intervene again. annexation
to the United States would follow.
Manifestly that warning has lost
its Statutory force. The Cubans have
seen what has been going on fol
four years In Mexico and have come
to the conclusion that the warning Is
an empty threat.
Weakness, timidity, vacillatiop
drifting, yielding-these are not ths
qualities in government that make
for peace. They lead on to increas
ing complications and dangers. Thel
are the stuff out of which wars arr
made.
President Wilson is sowing tn,
seeds of future wars for the United
States. His intentions are excellent
but his course is fatuously blind
