MIR. ROOSEVELT AT HIS WORST

MT. Roosevelt was quite at his worst when he informed Brooklyn audience Tuesday night that the opposition in Washington to his personal army scheme came from men who object ed to the service that he offered "only because they believe I'll render it too well.''
 The opposition to MT. Roosevelt's private army comes primarily from the General Staff of the United States army, and while it is possible that the General Staff is jealous of MT. Roose- velts transcendent military genius, there is a much more plausible ex. pianation of it's attitude toward the so- called Roosevelt division. The Staff has worked out a comprehensive mili. tary programme for the United States based on selective conscription, and If that programme is to be muddled up hs MT. Roosevelt and other ambitious civ. iians who wish to raise troops of their own, the whole military estab. lishment will soon be in a state of In. eAtricable confusion.
 The General Staff is directly re sponsible for the operations of the army. It is composed of trained sol diers who know their trade. Unless its judgment is to be respected in such questions as that raised by the Roose welt issue, the government might as well abolish West Point, stop educat ing army officers and leave all tech nical military matters to civilian poli l, ticians who have influence in Cong reSS

It was made up in an L shape and places were laid for twenty-three Promptly at o'clock the party was seated and in regular courses the fol lowing menu was served: Fruit Cock. tail, consomme and waters, olives, radishes, nuts, baked halibut, capel sauce, honor sandwiches, spring lamb and mint jelly. creamed pottaoes, hot rolls, peas in trimbals, pimiento salad cheese straws, ice cream, cake, recep tion sticks and cafe noir. During the courses, Charles Tonkin acted as toast master and calls were made upon Geo Clark, Lois Mater, Berle Davis, Der nice Davis and Prof w. E. Lutz. All responded in a most pleasing manner and the social part of the evening was enjoyed as much as the elegant ban l quet. The girls of the sixth and , seventh grades were all dressed in white with yellow ribbon trimming and had charge of the serving. The affair was a decided success and greatly appreciated by all.

about to enter the world war, Wheeler was one of the first to offer his ser vices to the United States in any capacity. His previous military re- cord and ability as an officer was quickly recognized by the officials and he was one of the first notified to report at the training camp. He has secured a leave of absence for sixty days from the board of super visors in order to attend the camp, and has not resigned as sheriff of Cochise county, as has been reported. It is his intention, however, to resign if he is finally accpeted for service in the army of the United States, and there is but little doubt entertained by those who know him and his record but that he will be accepted. Should he fail physically he will return and make use of the knowledge he has gained in the training of the county posse should it become necessary.

 Former Senator Foraker, who was 70 years old, had been in poor health since his retirement from the senate in 1909, but it was not until two weeks. ago that he was forced to his bed and his condition was not considered crit ical until last night.
 Foraker was twice elected and like wise twice defeated for the governor ship of Ohio; while he served two terms in the United States senate from 1897 to 1909. He presented the name of William Mckinley to the republican national convention in 1896 and 1900.-

FOR THOROUGH PROBE
OF GAS SITUATION
Public Service Commission 10 Send
Expert Engineer.
MAYOR STRANGE TAKES ACTION
Electric Light Conditions Also To Be
A Subject Of The lnves-
figatiOn

Citizens OF Annapolis undoubtedly
will be glad to learn that the question
of the poor. odoriferous. and ''wha.
not gas. which has almost stifed
many persons during the last few
weeks. is to be investigated by an ex-
pert engineers detailed by the Pub
lie Service Commission of the State.
The situation as regards the electric
light and power also viii come under
the inquiry
As every consumer knows, the how
Of gas not only has been below nor
NAL. but the odor resulting therefrom,
which the officials OF the Public Utili-
ties Company claim is due to their IN
ability to get the proper quality or
coal. has been terrible. The smell
has affected a number of persons even
TO the state Of becoming nauseaus, and
Wild howl has gone forth from all
quarters.
Tho city officials finally were moved
10 action. and that the whole situation
is To be the subject Of thorough in
vestigation by an official detailed by
the Public Service Commission is the
result of a letter which Mayor James
F. Strange addressed to the Commits
sion few days ago, and to which he
received a reply this morning.
The correspondence between the
Mayor and the Commission follows:
Mayor Strange's letter reads:
To the Chairman OF the Public
Service Commission,
Baltimore, Maryland.
Dear Sir:
The gas in Annapolis has been of
such poor quality OF late that the peo-
pie here are up in arms against the
Public Utilities Company about the
quality of gas that they furnish.
| would appreciate il very much in
deed if you would send your expert
gas engineer to Annapolis and make
an investigation of the causes for the
bad gas which they are serving us.
A prompt reply to this letter and
also the services of your man will be
highly appreciated by myself and the
citizens of Annapolis. Also while they
ere here, we would like for them to
look into the electric light situation.
Very respectfully,

NAVY LEAGUE BOWS
TO DANIELS ORDER
"Woman's Naval Service Headed by
Mrs. Dewey. to Give Sail
ors Knitting

The Navy League of the United
States has finally capitulated as re-
suit of the determination of Secre-
.tary Daniels that it could have no con-
nection with the Department or fleet
so long as it was directed by Col.
Robert NJ. Thompson and the men re-
sponsible for circulating unsubstan-
tiated charges against the present
Administration.
The League last night formally an
nounced that THE Woman's Naval
Service" with Mrs. George Dewey as
President, had been organized to
handle the work done heretofore by
the women's section of the League.
Secretary Daniels is expected TO
offer no opposition to the new organi-
nations plans of supplying the men
of the fleet with sweaters. mufflers
and other comforts which were for
merly supplied by. the Navy League.
Before this action was taken the
women had offered their knitting to
the soldiers, and Secretary Baker had
accepted, but apparently the new ar
rangement will supersede that.

new DRAFT CALL
SET FOR OCT. |.
Secretary OF Var Baker Indicates
Examination
OF REMAINING 100000
VIII Continue This, But Under New
Procedure To LOcalize
Forces.
OF REMAINING 100000

Forecast of the examination OF iur-
ther draft eligibles, TO begin oetobeL
/ for the second call was lnoicateu
Yesterday in the announcement by the
War Department officials that some re-
vision in the present conseription
procedure plan would be made about
that date. TO be effective during the
next draft. The nature of the changes
could not be learned.
President Wilson has given his ten
tative approval OF continuation Oh
the examination of the remaining
1000 600 eligibles, Provost Marshai
Cen. Crowder said yesterday, follow
ing reports from the Governors OF ali
states who approved il.
There is little doubt that large
deficiency of men will be shown when
the first of the National Army-oSf'-
ooo men-has been mobilized.
Seventeen National Guard divisions
must be brought up to war strength
and several other service forces or
ganized out of this reservoir, SO the
number OF drafted men remaining at
the cantonments hardly will be suiii-
eient to organize the sixteen National
Army divisionss to full strength basis.
Secretary Baker said yesterday that
definite details TO the number OF Ma
tional Guardsmen it would be neces-
sary 70 transfer to the National Guard
is not available.
Ii will take at least $4,000 Na'
tional Army men to fill up the guard
divisions. Another 100000 of the Ma
tional Army will go to the air serv-
ice. and certainly as many more to
other special services That would
leave not more than 250,000 men to
form the sixteen National Army di-
visions, which should have an aggre-
gate war strength of 433 900,
Secretary Baker pointed out some
of the difficulties that attend the re-
organization Of the National Guard
for war purposes. While the sixteen
division plan for the Guard, since eX-
tended to seventeen with the organi-
cation of the forty-second, or Rain
bow" division. is an old one, the
whole fabric OF the division has been
changed, with the adoption Of the
European regimental and company
standard, every Guard regiment which
was to be included in a division had
TO be expanded Regiments and parts
of regiments are being consolidated to
furnish the $500 men regimental units
now desired.
Trying To LocaIize Forces.
In making these consultations.
the department is attempting to keep
the forces as much localized as pos
sible. The same practice will be fol-
lowed in assigning men from the Ma
tional Army to National Guard units.
wherever practical, National Army
men will go to regiments from their
own States, in line with the spirit Of
the War Army Bill, which lays stress
on localization of regiments. There
are many cases, however, where the
practice will have to be abandoned to
meet military necessities.

GUYNEMER FELL FIGHTING
FORTY ENEMY AIRPLANES
Comrade Describes Last Battle of
Frances Adored "Ace"
chine Dropped Gently

The last fight of Capt. Georges
Guynemer, the noted French ace"
was characteristic of the daring of
the aviator whom all France worship
ped, and was fought against over
whelming odds, according to a COM
rade who is quoted in the Excelsior at
Paris, as follows:
"Guynemer sighted five machines of
the Albatross type D-S. Without
hesitating he bore down on them. At
that moment, enemy patrolling ma
chimes, soaring at great height, ap-
peared suddenly and fell upon him.
There were forty enemy machines
in the air at this time, including
Count Won Richthofen, and his circus
division Of airplanes, painted in dag
onal blue and white stripes. Toward
Guynemer's right some Belgian ma
chimes hove in sight, but it was too
late.
Machine Fell Gently.
"Guynemer must have been hit. His
machine dropped gently toward the
earth and l lost track of it. All that
/ can say is that the machine was not
on fire.
This comrades story is the first evil
dence that Capt. Guynemer actually
had been brought down by an enemy
airplane. He had been missing since
he flew from Dunkirk September IL
and it was only a few days ago that
he was officially reported as being
lost
Official announcement of the death
of Sergt. Douglas MacMonagle, of San
Francisco. who was killed in an aerial
battle with two German machines,
developed one of the wars saddest
tragedies At the moment the Ameri-
can aviator met his death his mother
was completing her 6,OO0-mile journey
from San Francisco to see her only
son. The funeral, with military hon
ros, was held Wednesday.
MacMonagle's Presentment.
Sergt. NacAIonagle seemed to have
a presentment of his fate while in
Paris few days before he was kill
ed. He said TO friends there:
Well, fellows, if they get me, you
may bank on 1t mother will have the
consolation of knowing | passed out
lighting and doing my best, as she
would wish it,"
His death occurred during patrol
fight with two other Americans, Lieut..
Lufbery and Sergt Rockwell. They
were attacked by eight German ma
chimes believed to belong to the COM
bination known as the Tango Circus
Apparently taken by surprise, Mac
Monagle fell within the French lines.
Sergt. Rockwell went to his rescue
but was too late. He brought down
one German airplane, however. Mac
Monagle was shot twice through the
head. At the burial taps was sound
ed by a squadron of American En-
gineers
