URGES CHANGES IN
NEW SERVICE PLAN
Report Baker Has Returned
Universal Training Proposal
to General Staff.

Secretary Baker has returned to
the general stan for radical changes
the universal service and emergency
army proposals prepared and sub
mitted to him to be sent to Congress
according to information received to-
day from a reliable source.
The proposal involves a regular or
professional army of 100000 men OF
all branches. and the training OF
900.0 900 men annually through the re-
quirements OF universal service. A
one-year period of training is called
for.
For 1,4O0.OOO Trained Men.
The regular army under the gen.
eral stan plan embrace ia regiments
of infantry. -55 regiments OF cavalry,
20 or more regiments of field artillery,
and NOther troops to bring the total
up to 5O0.0 900 officers and men.
The operations of this plan. 1t Is
pointed out. would furnish1 400. 900
trained men at the end of one year,
making possible an expeditionary
force of 100000 men, with the
nucleus around which to build up a
second line or defensive army.
Would Lack His support.
Secretary Baker is said to have told
the general staff that he would not
transmit such a bill to Congress with
his support; that material reductions
must be made both in the size OF the
proposed professional army and in
the period of training recommended
for civilians before he would sanction
the measure.
AS the Secretary's demands are be-
lieved to involve a complete revision
and remolding OF the plan, it is not
believed the general stan will have
concluded a new measure before the
fate of the Chamberlain universal
service bill shall have been pretty ac
curately measured by its reception in
The Senate.

Bandits of the villa-Sslazar com
mand have been seen within a few
miles OF the border city and a garri-
son OF Carranza soldiers was. massa-
cred not more than nifty miles south
west of Juarez, on the Mexico North
western railroad.
Six soldiers of the Gusman garri-
son, all that remained OF sixty-five
Carranzistas, commanded by Capt.
Santiago Rodriguez, reported that all
the rest OF the garrison was either
killed or so badly wounded that they
could not escape.
The work tTsin, with an escort of
seventy-five Carranzista soldiers from
the Juarez garrison. had reached
kilometer 65 when the survivors were
found AS Gusman was only eleven
miles distant, the train backed up
and wired to Juarez for reinforce

Casas Grandes is supposed to have
suffered the same fate as Gusman.-

men in touch with the Mexican situa-
tion.
Halves gave Villas artillery
strength as thirty guns of 65 and IS

guns. His railroad equipment was
estimated at thirty seven locomotives

Hawes' announcement. however. is
confrmatory Of previous reports re-
ceived here that Villa has established
headquarters at Bustillos. Whether
villa is there himself. or opposing

a matter Of doubt. Arrivals on trains

accounts.

much an advantage over ours as our
forefathers. armed with guns. had
over the North American Indian,
armed with bows and arrows.
Diverted from Defense.
"The principal cause of military
and naval backwsrdness is that ever
since our civil war, which closed fifty
years ago. a period OF peace has con
tinued which was broken for a short
time only by the events OF the Spanish
war. The result has been that the
brain power OF the country as a whole
has been diverted from military
affairs to a degree beyond that which
is safe: to a degree like that in which
it was diverted in every wealthy ma
tion in history, shortly before that
nation fell.
"It was so diverted from military
affairs in Assyria, Egypt, the cities
of Greece. and in Rome; IL was di-
verted from naval affairs in Holland
before Holland suct tumbed to Great
Britain: il was so -Iverted in France.
and devoted to the pleasures that
made Paris the mistress of fashion,
before the armies Of France went
down like tin soldiers before the real
soldiers of Prussia in 1870.
Moral Not Mental.
"The cause OF the -lverting OF at
tention and effort from military
things is not mental so much as
moral: not folly so much as effemin-
acy.
''It is because OF a natural yielding
to the pleasures of the senses and the
appetites: to the Pleasures OF soft
beds, beautiful houses, and gently
rolling automobiles: to physical in
dolence. sweet music. silk stockings.
and kid gloves; to fashionable So
ciety, golf. and French novels: in a
word-to luxury.
"Yet il is at bottom the pursuit of
luxury. and the resulting strife for
foreign trade. that has been the
principal cause of modern wars.
Nation Is EneminIxed.
"The nation has, become effemin-
lied. George Washington would not
know US. and General Grant would
be shocked to see the difference in
manner and carriage between the
young men OF today and the young
men that marched behind him only
fifty years ago. They would be
amazed to see how Uncle Sam. who
typifies our nation in the pictures,
has become effeminized, and they
would realize that. although his garb
is still of masculine cut, yet that,
nevertheless in the family of nations
he has been gradually growing to
be less like a big he man than like
perfect lady: less an Uncle Sam than
an Aunt Elizabeth.
Women As Brave As Men.
This does not impugn the courage
of our people. because women are as
brave as men, and because. our peo-
pie are brave. In fact. they may be
too brave, like the Barbadian boy. The
kind OF bravery they have shown in
letting the country drift along unde-
Tended as they have done in this war
like world. reminds me of a remark
made by the late Rear Admiral Brad
ford some years ago, while ! was
taking him over the Atlanta, then
the pride of the navy. When / show
ed him the coming tower. i remark
ed that some captains declared they
would not go into the coming tower
in battle. Bradford answered: The
captain who Wouldn't go into the con
ming tower in battle would be very
brave, but he'd be damn fool.

Encounter Declared Draw by Wit

Suffer Heavy Damages

An encounter between a Ford
automobile owned by the Fountain

scales was declared a draw Wednes-
day morning by witnesses of the
conflict, although both belligerents
suffered heavy casualties to their
component parts. The Ford delivery
car was left standing on Olson street
while the driver made delivery. A
youngster who had been riding in
the machine released the brake and
the machine shot down the hill the
youth jumping to safety before it
had gained its full momentum. The
machine collided with the heavy
scales near the Pullman Chop mill
on Grand street, demolishing the
scales and wrecking the running
gear of the machine, one wheel
being broken completely off The
accident occurred while Olson street
was devoid of traffic, else the con
sequences might have been more
serious.
