 The Winslow Mail last week took exception to the method used by the sheriff's S office in summoning trial jurors. There is no question but that the law governing the drawing and summoning l of jurors is defective, but so long as it remains unrepeal- ed the officials who draw the jury list and summon the jurors must comply with it. In the case referred to by the Mail, the names of jury men were legally drawn 1T open court by the clerk of the court, the chairman of the board of supervisors and the county recorder. The persons whose names were drawn were afterwards sum moned by the sheriff. That twelve out of the eighteen summoned in Winslow hap pened to be railroad mer was unavailable.
 Ladies and gentlemen should call and make theil selections of spring and sum mer suits from the elegant line of samples now on dis play at Albert Warren's. Nc better line was ever shown in Holbrook and the prices are reasonable. If

that Germany will take the step

dangerous situation to continue.
In a sense officials feel that cvciy

The open issue as to Germany's

UNIVERSAL SERVICE FAVORED.
SENATE MILITARY COMMITTEE
ACTS ON SUB-CONIMITTEE'S
BILL.
Six Months Training Calculated to Fit
Half Million Youths Annually for
Military Service.

Washington. Feb. 10.--The senate
military committee reported favorably
today bill framed by q sub-commit-
tee creating a military and naval cit
izen reserve force based on universal
military training and service.
While the committee report does
not indicate any belief that congress
will act on the measure at this session,
the bill offers specific plan on which
public sentiment can crystalize.
The bill requires six months train
ing without pay for all youths during
their nineteenth year. Exceptions are
confined to the members Of the rcgu-
lar army and navy, those physically
unfit. those who are the sole support
OF dependent relatives and those af.
flliated with religious creeds which for
bid them to bear arms. The latter
class are liable. however, for training
in the combatant branches Of the
army.
1t is estimated that the bill would
provide for the training of 10000
boys annually. each of whom would
be furloughed into a reserve for nino
years after his training period With
allowances for shrinkage of Glasses,
this plan would give q total force Of
S,165,000 men who had had six
months training. at the end of the
first nine-year circle. all subject TO
call for service only in the event of
defensive" war or it's imminencs.
The bill disagrees with the theory
OF the army general staff as to the
amount of training necessary to make
a soldier fit to so on the battle line,

tai strength proposed by staff officers
