New York Cavalry
To Serve in France
Squadron A Will Give Up
Horses for Machine Guns
in Organs Division

Squadron A is to see real service in
France after all. For a time it looked
as though New York's crack cavalry or
ganization would be left out of the
fighting entirely. There is little for
cavalry in trench warfare.
The squadron is to be converted at
once into a machine gun battalion and
attached to the 27th Division, Major
General Organs force of New York
National Guardsmen. The battalion,
now encamped in Van Cortlandt Park.
will complete its training in the new
style Of service at the Spsrtsnsburg,
s. c., camp.
New York has been proud of Squad
ron A ever since its organization. En-
listed in its ranks are many of the
most prominent men in the city, and,
viewed from a strictly military stand
point, it has always ranked with the
best in efficiency. The squadron served
throughout the Porto Rican campaign
in 1898. proving one of the most effect
i've forces in the field.
The formal order attaching the
squadron to Major General Organs
division has not yet been issued from
Governors Island, but it is expected
within a day or so. 0ne-ffth of the
squadron is already equipped and
trained for machine-gun work.
As soon as the change in its organi-
zation is completed the horses Of the
squadron will be turned over to the
military police force That too will
be attached to Major General Organs
staff.
Among the prominent New Workers
in Squadron A are Captains Howard
K Cowperthwait, Albert W. Putnam
and Henry Sheldon and Lieutenants
Samuel H. Gillespie. Colgate Hoyt, jr.,
Robert B. Bartholomew and Stanton
Whitney.

Industrial Draft
Urged for Camps

Methods employed by the government
in the construction of cantonments at
the various army camps were severely
criticised yesterday by the National
Security League, which is in favor OF
industrial conscription.
The league acted following the re-
ceipt Of letter from B. S. Mason, a
prominent lawyer of Salina, Kan, in
which the attorney urges the immedi-
ate adoption of industrial conscription.
His views centre around the contention
that there is no fairness in asking
young men as soldiers to risk their
lives for $50 a month, while other men
are receiving from So 70 $40 a day
building places for them to sleep in.
Mr.. Mason points out the strong pos
sibility of Irregularities in the fulfil
ment of certain army contracts. The
letter reads in part:
Door Opened to Graft"
81 believe that the method the gov
ernment is pursuing with regard to the
percentage contracts is bad and opens
wide the door to graft. The result is
that the contractors are spending from
three to six times as much as they
need to spend to get the work done.
They are squandering, apparently, from
SO to Sc of the peoples money for every
dollar that is necessary.
"A plumber told me that his boss
came TO him and told MIN he was work
ing entirely too hard and asked him TO
slow up. He said he saw the point and
did slow up, and 1t took him twenty
FIVE hours TO ACCOMPLISH what he could
have done in four hours.
"A carpenter seventy years old, who
never was able to make more than Sl8
a week, is now getting s52 a week.
"Of course, in some cases II may be
necessary to pay these exorbitant prices
to attract men away from steady work
at home.
81 fully believe in the selective draft,
but it seems ridiculous to draft boys
for the trenches at $50 a month and at
the same time pay 5000 and $500 a
month to inexperienced plumbers and
carpenters, permitting them to strike
at will and tie up the work and also
suffer the percentage basis TO slow up
the work in order to increase the cost
and contractors profits.
an other words, there should be a
universal and insistent demand for in
dustrial conscription along with the
conscription of soldiers. In the judg-
ment of the people out this way, we
will never win or get anywhere until
this is done"
6. Stanwood Menken, president OF
the Security League, said last night
that as far as he knew the conditions
spoken of in Mr.. Msson's letter did not
prevail at Yaphank.

To Practise Anti-Aircraft Attacks
A signal tower is going up and
searchlights will soon be sweeping the
camp nightly. Likewise, the officers
have decided to put TO use the fleets OF
airplanes from Mineola which hover
over camp all day long. Next week the
men will be shown what they are to
do in the event of an air attack.
Colonel Webb Cook Hayes, youngest
son of former President Rutherford b.
HAYES, came into the camp this after
noon. He sought out Colonel Hine and
offered his services in any capacity. he
told Colonel Hine that he wanted to go
10 France and would rather go as
member of the 165th Infantry than OF
any organization he knew.
Colonel HAYES, who is siXty-nine
wears old. has had a most interesting
career, having served with distinction
in tho army. travelled the world over
as a soldier of fortune, and h!led IN
odd moments with trips to out-of-the-
way corners of the globe in the searcn
of adventure. He was instrumental IN
organizing the 1st Ohio Cavalry, and
later became a major. He served
through both the Cuban and Porto
Rican campaigns and was severely
wounded at Santiago.
Captain Mckenna Transferred
A committee of the Friendly Sons Of
St. Patrick is expected in camp Monday
afternoon. The Friendly Sons raised
100000 on the baseball game played
last Sunday for the benefit of the 6sth,
and it is expected that each captain
will receive $500 to be used for buying
the men of his company the little eX-
tras they may need before they leave
for France.
Colonel Hine officially announced to-
day the transfer of Captain j. A. Nc
Kenna from Company to Company d..
Captain Sidney j. Ryan, of the lst In
fantry, an upstate organization, comes
to Company |.
After the havoc of last nights storm
there was little sleep in camp. The
damage was all repaired, and the
camp put in order early this morning.

Pearson Wishes to Be
Candidate for CONGRESS

Elwood, Ncb., Jan. 29.-(Special.) -
That former Lieutenant-Governor
Pearson, whose home is in Gosper
county, would like to be the demo-
cratic candidate for congress in the
Fifth district in 1918 is revealed in a
long letter printed in the Bulletin.
Mr.. Pearson says he wishes to make
the race for the nomination in case
Congressman Shallenberger, who was
reelected last fall, decides to be a
candidate to succeed United States
Senator Norris. Mr.. Pearson refers
to his work as farmer and grain buyer
and says he understands the problems
of the common people and that he
can represent their interests i'll con-
gress as intelligently as a lawyer or
banker. He thinks he is the logical
man, geographically, for the place and
appeals to his friends and neighbors
to get behind his boom, if the situation
develops properly.

Thrift of Little
Things Foundation
OF Good Character

Thrift is the foundation OF good
conduct, and every man and woman
who has what we term good charac-
ter, has it and keeps it by virtue OF
habit OF thrift in some form. 1t
need not be the thrift OF money, but
thrift of time, opportunity, health, the
broad thrift-the wise use OF what
one has lies at the root of every life
that can be called a success.
The employc who learns to manage
his personal affairs so that he saves
money, will use his employers time
and material wisely. The man who is
careful about little things will be
careful about the larger ones. If he
keeps careful record of what he
spends, he will be careful in invest
ing his money. Big traits OF character
manifest themselves i'll little acts.
As the man of thrift saves his
money, and sees his bank account
grow, he becomes interested in the
proposition of owning a home; for
every normal man aSplrcs to own his
bND lIlNS1uC, IlohiNN VI MY NpIllNHt-
mcnt, and contentment better work
men, whose minds are on their tasks,
And when he owns his home, he be-
comes interested i'll his town. the tax
rate, improvements, the paving, light
ing and sewer problems of the COM
munity. AS rent payer, he has no
interest in these things. Once he be-
comes interested i'll these things he
becomes better citizcn-a real asset
to his town. The man who has bank
account is able to stay with concern
over dull period and live on reduced
wages, if need be, while the one with
out must seek employment and often
take what he can get According to
statistics, 9S per cent of the wage
earners spend every cent of their
earnings, and approaching how waste
full and costly this tendency is, some
employers are now forming savings
clubs of various sorts TO make it easy
as well as profitable for their men to
save money.

A fee of $40 will be charged for

Another feature is that the COM
