Washington, Jan. 25.-Presiden,
Wilson, speaking to delegation from
the Maryland League for National
Defense, which attacked the national
guard and advocated universal mill
tary training. rebuked them for their
"unrestrained language" and said
they would have better chance of
obtaining his support if they were
more reasonable in their altitude"
The memorial. read to the president
by Maj. Randolph Barton, spoke of
the national guard as disgrace
and failure" 1t urged universal
military training and service. and
mentioned the mobilization of the ma
tional guard along the Mexican Dor
der as an example of the failure" of
the system.
President Wilson told the delega-
ton that their attitude closed the
opportunity for a discussion of the
question and was not helpful. The
president. discussing compulsory
military training, declared that train
ing was needed, "but it can be had
without compulsory military service ~
He added that he was DESTROYS of
doing the wise thing, and that the
entire subject was receiving his most
earnest consideration, and he vigor-
ously defended 1.-THE efforts being
made in congress to build an efficient
military service.
Later it was explained at the
white house that the presidents, re-
marks should not be taken to mean
that he has made up his mind to OPP
pose universal compulsory service
and training.

When Toads Get New Suit.

Toads change their skin periodi-
cally. 1t is Il most interesting per-
Torrance, says a writer in the Ma
tional Review. The old skin splits
right down the back, and the toad
proceeds to divest himself of it in
exactly the same fashion as human
being takes off jersey. The old
skin. as it is pulled off, is rolled to-
ward the reptiles mouth, where it dis
appears, for it is swallowed.

grave menace Of widespread curtaii-
ment Of productionl
Reports have already been received
OF shutdowns Of factories engaged in
manufacturing for foreign trade, and
the discharge of thousands OF work
men.
No greater menace TO the industrial
stability and true preparedness Of the
United States can be imagined. The
discharge of even a few thousand
workmen starts an endless chain
which, II unchecked, can result only
in panic and depression at the time
when the nation needs TO keep her
vital industries operating at top
speed
Here IS what happens: Some
factory, fearful that the German sub
marine blockade will make foreign de-
liveries impossible, closes down. Two
things Immediately result: Rumors
Va AAA' ohnptiAoA0n ANuEuiiI anu are
spread broadcast and other factories,
alarmed by the rumored suspension,
cease to operate or curtail produc-
ton.
The purchasing power OF these
thousands Of unemployed worbmen is
withdrawn from the market and i'm
mediately results IN a decreased de-
mand for the prime necessities Of
life so factories in far-removed lines
Of production begin TO feel the short
demand, cut down production and dis
charge thousands of workmen.
The final and inevitable result is to
produce such panic as occurred in
1907. unless a counter movement is
started.
There is no question OF the ability
OF the nation to absorb at reasonable
prices all of the products of all the
FARMS mines and factories, provided a
reasonable time is given for the re-
adjustment
There is no question that owing "a
