Report Shows GuardSmen On
The Border Have Suffered
Great Losses While On DUTY

the men were mustered out.
Eighty-four per cent of those who
were questioned replied mo" when
asked If they intended to enlist
again. A great number declared
"emphatically for universal service"
and asserted they would not do mill
tary service henceforth under any
other system.
In obtaining economic information
the committee sent queries to en-
ployers as well as to the men.
"Guardsmen, the report says in this
connection, told about their pecun-
iary losses and the suffering caused
by their dependents; and employers
told of the effect of the mobilization
on business, and gave their concep-
tion of a sound national military
policy" The facts established, the
report says, may be stated under two
heads, economic and military. Re-
garding the economic side, 1t is
stated:
"By bringing into service men with
heavy family and business RESPONSE
bilities, although there was available
in the country far more than ade-
quate number of unmarried men
who had not attained a high eco
nomic value, the mobilization
showed that the National Guard
scheme of defense was economically
unsound. 1t caused widespread dis
tress to the dependents of Guards
men, and it took mature men from
positions where they had established
their usefulness to commerce and in
dustry. The burden it threw upon
employers was inequitably distribut-
ed, in that some employers continued
to pay their men during service
while others cut off their mems pay.

or afterwards, the class of men most

OF the military aspect, the report
continues:
"The mobilization showed that the
National Guard was not to be de-
lpended upon for defense" Reports
CT the secretary of war, and of bu-
reaus OF the War Department. are
cited in support of this finding.

country's military problem. in the
opinion of the committee on Nation

ago by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell
to investigate the National Guards
concentration at the Mexican border
in response to the call CT President
Wilson.
The committees report, made pub.
lie here last night, urges universal
military training, but emphasizes
"an immediate need" for an adequate
standing force for the protection Of
the borders and other similar serv-
ice. The details of the country's de-
fence system should be worked out,
lit is recommended, "by the military
experts whose knowledge and exper-
ience are at the disposal of Con-

The report embodies information

ice, 35s favored it and 13 opposed
it. Only four employers favored a
continuance of the present National
Guard system, the report says, and
two of these believed also in univer-
sal service. The export continues:
Next to the declaration for uni
versal service, the most striking fea-
ture of the employers replies was
the emphasis they placed upon the
need of an equal distribution Of bur
den. They said they were ready to
give time off to their men for train
ing; but they wanted the training
to be governed by some rational
scheme under which all employers,
as we'll as all men of military age,
would fare alike.
The replies from the 2,4O0 New
York guardsmen, the report says, In
dictate that "it was not rough mill
tary life they objected to but the in
equality of treatment"
Discussing, in conclusion, "the
need of defense" the committee al
ludes to the new and quite unfore-
seen status that the great changes
of the last few years have forced
upon the United States. Isolatio

PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY

Orlando, Fla, Jan. 10. William

Retired at Age Of 40
When only 40 years of age Mr..
Temple had accumulated large for
tune, and he determined to retire
from active business life. Return
ing to Florida he bought large cit
rus properties near Winter Park, In
Orange county, one of these being
located in the famous Alabama es-
tate which he improved and made
one of the show places of the State.
The problems Of the citrus industry
appealed to him and he was one OF
the prominent growers who joined
DR.. Inman, Of Florence Villa, in the
Organization of the Florida Citrus
Exchange.
After about year, at the time
when the exchange was trembling in
the balance, Mr.. Temple was called
to its general management. His
splendid work in this position placed
the whole State of Florida under an
obligation to him which never can
be lightly held in the esteem of its
citizens. Mr.. Temple left his mag
niflcent home at Winter Park, re-
moved to Tampa and worked as
hard as any other employe of the
exchange. carrying it through the
dark days OF its struggle by the
splendid will power and great abil-
ity that he possessed.
When the exchange began to como
into its own. Mr.. Temple felt that
he had earned the rest which he had
sought when retiring from business
at the North. Returning to Winter
Park he found his health impaired to
an extent that 1t was considered ad-
visable for him to dispose of his
grove interests and estate. Then he
built a very delightful bungalow
home on one OF the beautiful lakes
of Winter Park, and settled down to
the life of a retired gentleman. He
was not permitted to rest, but was
called again to public service by the
people Of Winter Park, who elected
him mayor. In this position, his last
civic duty, he made record of the
same character as in previous SIM
liar connections. His health had
been increasingly poor, and for the
past year he had known that the end
might come at any time. His death
will be a shock to friends and former
associates throughout the United
States, as 1t is an incalculable loss to
the whole State Of Florida.
