v|C|OUS" SAYS
 GEN. WOOD 0F GUARD SYSTEM
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. i. - Major General Leonard Wood, recalled today for cross s-eXa imitation before the sen ate universal training sub committed said army officers were not disposed to shirk responsibility for the war de- partment's short -comngs in it's direc- tion of the national guard mobilization at the border. but reiterated that the guard system was in itself vicious and indefensible" because of defects inher- ent in it's organization.
 In response to questions by Senator Lee of Maryland, a defender of the guard system at whose instance the croSs-examinatiOn was ordered Gen. eral Wood admitted that the federal governments supply plans for the state troops collapsed ten days after they were called out, and that in certain re- spects mobilization of the regulars, like the guard. failed to come up to expectations. He ir<-sted, hOwel CT that a system without a shadow of state interference" would have oper- ated to much better effect and that thu only ultimate solution to the problem would be universal service under ex- elusive federal control
 Tomorrow the committee will cross examine Major General Hugh l.. Scott chief of staff, who in his testimony several weeks ago took q stand similar to that of General Wood. General Wood repeated today his assertion that the mobilization was tragedy but also declared he did not intend to criticize the officers and men of the guard but 1 only the vicious, indefensible syste m. "
 By supreme effo:; in six months time" he said we got 5000 men to the border. The country could have been eaten up by an efficient enemy m that time
 Senator Lee pointed out that the reg = ular army had played it's part in the failures
 Yes" said General Wood, and I would go after the war department with a sandbag and reorganize it." 1 The greatest failure of the federal 1 government. General Wood said, was | the supply system. treat Britain had faced the same thing he said, whoa l the European war came and found it necessary to abandon her whole sys- tenn and create q department of nun : l tions.
 If the border trouble had gone to | real war" he added we would have fad to do that; create a commission with some live, energetic business men l upon 1t. We would have had to shake the cobwebs out of the supply depart 
 ment and get some punch into il; con- vert it from a wheelless vehicle tC something that would run
 The men and officers of the guard are high minded patriotic individuals General Wood said. but not soldiers.
 Tt would have been murder tu senC them against any fa.r;y efficient foe. he added.
 Senator Lee led the discussion tt the Swiss military system which h' declared had solved the problem o dual control of the military forces b! state and federal governments.
 Dual control is a rotten system il Switzerland. if il exists, General Woo, said. Moreover he did not believe any alternative from universal service of fered itself short of pay for soldier: at a prohibitive rate. The nationa guard of the rank and file. Genera Wood said, were eager for the enact ment of universal service legislation

TOO RICH CREAM

To illustrate the uses. of advertise ments,' says a well known theatrical manager. there is one experiment l had of which I often think.
 T was driving when l came to a farm where there was meadow to let. The owner of this farm would have made a good advertisement man. ager, for the big poster announcing that the meadow was to let was worded as follows:
 ""This field to let, seventeen acres, for grazing. Persons having old cattle, or cattle with strong appetites, had better be cautious in turning them out to graze here as my grass is so rich that it would be liable to injure them for the first week or so.'"
