TRAIN TO MINUTE
Z. S. Troops Will Be Drilled
Well Before Action.
Gen. Scott to Tell Congress of
Funds Needed.

Washington, April 6.-An army of
1000, 600 men, no element of which
shall have had less than six months
intensive training, is the direct object
of the administration army bill made
public Thursday night.
Major General Scott, chief of staff,
is expected to go before either the
house or senate military committee
next Monday to outline the plan under
which approximately $S,000.000,00O
has been asked to carry out the
project.
The plans provide Cor building up
thirty-two infantry divisions and four
cavalry divisions, distributed at six
teen training district headquarters.
Preparations already have been made
to draft into the federal service the
entire strength OF the national guard
and employ that force, supplemented
by regulars Withdrawn from the Dor
der. in the establishment of the six
teen training centers. Five months
later the first 100000 of the new army
of young man would assemble at the
center to begin their training.
The $4,000, 100000 budget represents
only the cost of building the machine.
It's maintenance in actual war will
double the expense and as mobilization
of the necessary reserve supplies must
parallel the development of the army
$4,000. 10000 probably represents the
total cost for the year for the first
100000 men.
Use of Funds.
OF the $3,OO0,00O,00O asked approx
imately one half will go for pay and
quartermasters supplies, including
housing the troops at the training CEN
tiers. Another half billion would go
into ordnance, nearly $4,000, 900 into
signal corps and aviation equipment
nearly 100000 to the engineer
equipment and field works; $4,000
900 to medical stores.
The estimates include also more
than $50O,000,00O to put the ordnance
equipment on a war basis as to re-
serve of guns and ammunition. In
Europe under the blast of day and
night firing the whole artillery equip
ment of the armies on the front is
renewed every four months. A three
inch gun will last for about 10, 900
shots, then it must be replaced.
Larger weapons are ''shot OUT sooner.
To pay alone for an army of 1,O0O,-
00O and nearly $4,000 officers alone
will total $500, 100000 a year. Field
artillery equipment for $4,000 Ma
tionai Guard troops will cost close to
500, 100000 and ammunition for the
guns an equal sum. Army officials
are hopeful that congress will accept
the plan of its military advisers vir-
tually without amendment

WROTE TO A GIRL
Filthy Letter, Worst Ever Read at
Court House.

Mabel Frost, a 13-year-old girl who
attends Lafayette school, dropped Il
note in the school room today, the
teacher found it, read it, and this aft
ernoon Fred O'Hare, a 2S-year-old
man, is in the city Jail. He is charged,
under a complaint sworn to by Rob-
ert Carver. county attorney, with
writing filthy letters to a minor.
The three-page letter, of which
O'Hare acknowledges he is the author,
will stand for long time as the
naStiest piece of literature that ever
fell into the hands of the county attor-
ney 1t told of such things and in
such a way that men around the coun-
ty attorneys office, accustomed to
such matters, We're shocked.
The Frost girl and O'Hare live in
adjoining houses. O'Hare told the
county attorney that he showed the
note to the girl across the fence, then
dropped it over in her yard where she
picked it up.
Dropped 1t in School.
The girl took the note to school and
dropped it upon the floor. The teach
er found it and read it. She reported
some of the contents to Miss Kate
King, city welfare worker. and Miss
King reported to the police. O'Hare
was arrested by Officers Bundy and
Donovan.
Miss King took the girl to the court
house today where she was questioned
by Robert Carver. She denied that
there had been any more intimacy
between them than the passing of
notes. O'Hare was then taken to the
courthouse and questioned. He made
the same denialS.
He did not deny writing the note,
nor did he offer any excuse except
''the actions of the girl. Officials be-
lieve there is more behind the matter
than the mere note and will continue
the investigation.
O'Hare is a grown man. Mabel
Frost is a mere child. He tells of
experiences in his letter few grown
men discuss even by word of mouth.

Washington, April 6.-The president
meets with his cabinet today to fur

Probably some definite program of
raising money will be agreed upon for

calling the big financiers of the coun-

ing bonds issues in addition to increas-
ing taxes generally to meet the enor-

Inmates. Lined up alongside the $780,
