fINERY 0F PEACE
 TO GO INTO DISCARD
War Fashions to Be Urged on
 Women Of America

New York, March 22-A movement to simplify the fashion of women's dress. following the example of all the nations now engaged in the war, was started yesterday, at a meeting, at the Hotel Astor, of about 100 women be- longing to the New. York city commit tee of the .Women's Branch of the Hughes Alliance, which has re- organized itself into a women's or ganizatiOn for preparedness. Peg top' and melon skirts were especial ly drowned upon.
 The meeting resolved, not only to appeal to women to avoid extravagant fashions, btu to appeal to manufac- turers and merchants to co-operate with the movement. Following is the resolution adopted:
 Whereas, we are in the midst of an era of unprecedented high prices for the necessaries of life and in a. most critical time in our national life-a time when we may be called upon at any moment, for a great sac. rifice and great effort for national welfare, therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That all patriotic women be urged to use their influence On fashions, but to appeael to manufac- economical as possible and to register their disapproval of such styles as the melon and peg-top skirt or any other styles that imply extravagant changes in the wardrobe. to the end that the time and money thus saved from clothes may be devoted to the needs of the nation. and furthermore. that one item of this resolution be to com municate with manufacturers and merchants of women's clothing, 50 that they may avoid all possible loss and, lastly, that a request be sent to newspapers and to the wamen's mag azines to give the subject wide pub- licity in order to reach the greatest possible number of women"
 The organization decided to CO., operate with the women's League for National Service which is acting as a central bureau to see that all fields of activity for women are covered and to keep the work of different women's organizations from overlapping. Dur ing the present week the organization will cooperate with the mayors committee on national defense in ob- taining signatures to the Declare ton of Loyalty
 Miss Alice Carpenter, who presided at the meeting. Mrs. Montgomery Hare. and Miss Fay Kellogg were ap- pointed a committee to study a plan for establishing 1000 acre camp on Long Island, where women could be trained for emergency work in case of war. It was announced that a site had been offered to the city commit tee where schools of agriculture.

MILLION MEN FOR
 DEFENSE OFs,LAND
Chamberlain { Plans for l Regulars, National Guard and Volunteers

Washington. March 22.-The sen- ats committee on military affairs. un- der the active leadership of MT. Cham beriain of oregon. is preparing to rush to enactment in record time ali meas ures for the national defense that may bs asked for by the administration. MT. Chamberlain called at the White House yesterday and said that as soon n congress assembled he would rein- troducA his bill for compulsory ser vice, and such other measuresi as may be necessary to raise olunteers, bring the regular army to full authorized strength, and provide against shortage of equipment and supplies.
 The fact that the senate military committee reported favorably on MT. ChAmberlAih's bill for universal ser- vice. appendingt 1t as a committee ainendment to the army appropriation bill. which failed with the end of the last session. shows that he will have the full support of ,his committee for any intermediate step he may have in contemplation. There Is good reason to believe that his measure for uni- versal service. which followed plan prepared by the general staff. will now nave II0 SuppOIt OI 0CCECtS1Ty DahSIs | It is even reported that the president expects to discuss universal service in shis address to congress.
 MT. Chamberlain has no desire in this gemergency to run counter to the wishes of the administration. He missed the president at the White House but will see him before con- Eress convenes, and he expects to have several conferences with Secretary Baker. The purpose of these confer ences is that MT. Chamberlain's meas- nres shall fully accord with the plans of the war department.
 Three Steps Possible.
 ! The senator said there were three s.eps that might be taken under the existing military system. These are:
 1. To recruit by special measures the regular army up to its full au- thorixed strength of 25O,0OO officers and men. Tho departments esti- tastes for the coming fiscal year were tsae1d on the army's present strength 'EauS . second increment, amounting ln oil to S,147 officers and 160,852 en- listed men.
 2. To call out the National Guard and, if possible, recruit it to some- thing like 100000. Next years es- inmates. based on the minimum
New Britain herald., 1917-03-22

strength of National Guard units, as- sumed a strength of about 240. 1000 of- ficers and men. The National Guard
 may be called out now without con- gressional action.
 3. To call for volunteers A call for 5O0,0O0 men has been generally considered by the war department as q first step. The belief is that con- gressional authority is necessary for this, though MT. Chamberlain thinks that under the act of 1914. as a con dition of war already exists, the president can now call volunteers to the national defense.
 The war departments pain is be- lieved to embrace all of these steps as a defensive measure, regardless of whether it is ultimately decided to send an expedition into Europe though 1t is possible that some form of compulsory service may be sub- stituted for the volunteers. They would raise the armed forces to about 100000. The feeling is that. while the country may feel secure against invasion so long as the allied armies are in the ascendant, it would be sui- cial to act on any other assumption than that the country in war must be able to defend itself. Many omc1AB think that. if the war lasts long enough for training to be completed. an expeditionary force will be de- manded by the national prestige.
 While the Treat Boards report shows that a sufficient preliminary force of men may be easily available, startling shortage exists as to equipment. MT. Chamberlain Is dc. termined to remedy this shortage as rapidly as possible.

TO PREVENT PARALYSIS.
Use Salted Water in Throat and Nose,
 Expert Advises.

-a. --
 Rutland, March 22.-Announce- n1ent that pr. Edward Taylor, pro- lessor of tropical medicine at the uni- versity of Vermont, had made an inn portant discovery as to the manner in which infantile paralysis is spread was made today by Dr. Charles s. Caverly, president of the state board of health.
 t'Dr. Taylor has apparently shown" Dr. Caverly said, that diseased noses and threats allow the passage of the virus into the central nervous system. while normal noses and throats seem to neutralize this poison. The simple process of cleansing the nose and throat with warm water, in which table salt has been dissolved, is per- haps as good preventative as we have.''

VOLUNTEER VS. DRAFT SYSTEM

That the volunteer army system in the United States IS failure is being demonstrated every day The Hon. William Jennings Bryan never missed guess by wd margin than when he said few years ago that the tinted States could raise army of 100000 night. The war department is urging to enlist in the regular army to follow PeIShng to France and the desired number of recruits is not coming forth.
 This apparent ethargy among Americans is not lack of patriotism. Rather. it is because ountry is large and We have wealthy that the people do not take seriously the need for soldiers. It is well that congress passed the seectve draft law else might he sending few hundred instead of several thousands of men to France to help the worlds battle.
 Should some great national peril loom the tonal horizon. Americans would rush the enlistment places by the thousands If there to he Lrsita mia incident the people would bestir themselves But in the absence of great impeing Amer jeans taking the war seriously enough.
 But it is high time that they adjusting their fo- It is serious business No that Germany is lia- ble in the future send army shores. but world dmocracy is hanging in the balance.

MORE BUSINESS HOUSES

Tombstone has more business houses now in course of going con cerns than il has had in over ten years and from indications there will be many more open up before long Everything points 10 extensive min ing work in the camp and it is only case of being able to get the ore out now for there is an excellent market for every kind Of ore that this camp produces and more es- pccially is there a strong market for manganese of which We have quite an amount There is a market now for the manganese that small pro ducers may get out when it runs ;hir- ty-fye per cent and over. This kind Of ore has received very little atten. ton in this camp up to the present time but the liberal price paid and the demand for the ore will undoubt- edly bring into working many Of the nearby claims that are known to run well ih manganese. Good roads from all directions are rapidly building into Tombstone and that means more travel in and ont Of town which of itself spells business The opening of the Charleston bridge in July will add another business artery to the trade channels Of Tombstone.

 ALL EXPECTATIONS

That the registration for the mili- tary drai, in progress today all over the United States. and particularly in Arizona and Cochise county. will far exceed expectations, is the re- port this afternoon.
 As early as noon requests began to pour into the office of Chief Dep uty Sheriff Guy C. Welch asking for more cards for registration purposes, that the supply had been exhausted, and there were more to be registered MT. Welch. who has charge of the registration in Cochise county had previously doubled the estimate as figured out by the department at Washing lon and sent out that amount oi cards to the various pre- cincts. but still they were not suffi- cient r'arly this afternoon requests from the Cochise precincts came in for more cards. and since there were no cards on hand. Mir. Welch advis- cd the registrars 10 take all names on an auxiliary list and as soon as supplies are received the names are to be registered.
 Following ahe the precincts in Co chise county which reported a short age Of supplies: Bowie, Wilcox, Gl-eson. Courtland. Benson. Fair bank, Fort Huachuca. Buena. Garces. Naco. Hereford. Lowell. Bisbee and Douglas. Only one precinct, Fur ner reported too many and in Tomb stone about four o'clock this after noon the registration had exceeded 900.
 When Judge FowIer's office open ed this morning for registration there were several awaiting to be enrolled and soon after the lineup extended out into he street awaiting their turn. This continued until late this after. noon. Besides Registrar Fowler the assistants were H. P. Johnson. H. s. Ross John Iso. R. A. McFar. land and Frank Fowler. ..
 it is estimated this afternoon that Cochise will show over 5000 names registered. where yesterday the esti. mate was placed at about $500 and If this is the case throughout the Unitd States about third more will be available for service than was at first anticipated.
