tained from army headquarters in Chi eago. By the time the soldiers arrived fires had been set in several places threatening the entire prison
 The outbreak then became so threaten ing that Captain Ridgeway ordered the soldiers to drive the men back with fixed bayonets while the fire department fought the flames. As the sharp points of the steel penetrated the clothing of the front ranks of the convicts they winced and finally broke into a run that carried all the outlaws to the prison walls.
 There the men were told that they must return to the cellhouse. With the flames cracking near they refused to yield, ap- parently hoping that the fire would re- lease all to the open fields. As the flames began to auench many revolters gave up. All but about 200 of the con- victs were thus placed under lock and key. The rfmainder sullen1y stood their ground and the officers decided not to fire upon the men except as a last re- sort. Rain began to fall in torrents on the prisoners and they surrendered to gain shelter. All were placed in the steel barred cells, and the riot was over. Tn the meantime, Maj. J. V. Clinnon ar rived with a second detachment of troops, and guards were thrown around every part of the penitentiary.
 While the tightening of prison rules was said to be the sole cause of the disorder Hinton c Clabaugh of the federal bureau of investigation at Chicago sent eight men to determine what part, if any, ob- jection to conscription registration played
 In all 1600 convicts are locked up to- night as participators in the riots. War den Bowden said that the old lock step discipline would be enforced for several days.

 Fires set within the prison destroyed the yard buildings, entailing a total loss of $2O0,0O0 Several other buildings were damaged by the flames. John Murphy, life convict, said to be leader of the riot, suffered a fractured skull when he was struck by a guard with a clubbed rifle.
 There were three riots, but the disorder was almost continuous from the first outbreak until order was finally restored by troops. All offenders are locked in cells tonight.
 The first disorder came at breakfast when several convicts showed >displeasure over orders issued by Warden Bowen that hereafter prisoners could receive no visitors except relatives Shouting disv approval, the men began throwing table, ware, breaking furniture and driving the guards to cover.
 The second outburst followed the set ting of a fire in the chair factory, about three hours later The prison fire de- partment was assailed, but by the use of fire hose the convicts were finally driven back.
 The threatening attitude of the con- victs caused the warden to ask for state troops The troops in Joliet are in fed eral service, and an order had to be ob-

WANT FIRsT-CLAss NAVY

''We want "a first-elass navy, first, for our defense. They tell us that diplomacy is this, but we have found that it is not. The women can put the punch into this matter better than anyone. They can see to 1t that their boys are trained to meet the other mothers boys, and put a stop
 to this blatant political hypocrisy that we are spreading that we have licked Eng land twice, and that we can lick the world, for we haven't done anything of the kind. We have not licked anybody but ourselves and Mexico. Let us quit spending time on treaties and get ready let us take some of these lessons to heart, quit whining and get prepared God didn't make men to think alike nor did he make nations to think alike and agree on everything. This is not the last war and we had better stop preaching that. But let us be conscious of the fact that we can be thoroughly prepared, and the spirit of universal service-these are the sinews of war
 Tn conclusion, I want to say. get ready! Push the thing through. We have gone
 into this war of democracy against au- tocracy and we are going to win it. We have broken the peace. but we have kept the faith.'

TWO BASIC. PRINCIPLES

Equality of privilege and opportunity and equality of obligation are the basic principles for us. In other words, man. hood suffrage and manhood service. With out this you are a stacker and a quitter: all this twaddle and hypocrisy about our past achievements are silly and nonsen- slcal. The volunteer spirit is surperb but the volunteer system is absolutely rotten There is no such thing as a natural sol- dier-get that out of your head. Did you ever see natural football player? Sup pose you put a team of so-called natural football players into action against a team of trained players what would hap pen to the natural players?
 What we want is willing but useful sacrifice and not willing but useless sac rifiee. The militia system, individually, is fine. I have advocated taking them into the regular army man for man, of
 cer for officer, federalizing the National Guard, but we must get rid of the sys- tenn. Let us compare the modern defenss to a large knife The men at the front represent the sharp edge, those backing them behind or waiting for the call to duty are the bulk of steel that supports the sharp edge. When it is worn down and becomes dull, new edge is put on and the blade is kept sharp so that 1t will cut through the reserves always backing the edge.
 Intensive training is what we must have. The period of six months nten- sive training that we propose to give in the army now is equal to IS months at any army post. Give us that system and our men will be trained 100 times bet ter than any volunteer system. and much better than any National Guard. It gives us better people morally and physically It will divide your murder statistics by four. Men get real training in this man ner, and if there is anything that the average American needs it is discipline and he will get it under this system, and can be made better men bv 20 per cent <
