RemobiIizing The Guard
From The New York Trlbune)

battalions shall consist OF four COM
panies Of such strength as may be pre-
scribed by the President of the United
States. When the members OF three
or more regiments of the National
Guard OF any State, Territory or Dis
trict shall have been brought into the
service Of the United States, the re-
serve battalions of such regiments
may be organized into provisional
regiments and higher units. II for any
reason there shall not be enough vol
untary enlistments TO keep the reserve
battalions at the prescribed strength,
a sufficient number of the unorganized
militia Gall citizens Of military age)
shall be drafted into the service OF the
United States 10 maintain each OF such
battaliOns at the proper strength
Without waiting for any change OF
law the Administration can bring to
the colors 100000 state milltiamen.
And IL Is likely that the 100000 limit
for the Guard will be ached-should
Congress fail 10 impose universal ser
vice-before the regular establishment
is recruited by voluntary enlistment to
175.000 or even to 100000.
A National Guard OF 100000 will con-
tain a relatively small percentage OF
partially trained troops perhaps 25
or 80 per cent. II will not offer real
first line material. But under the Hay
law it must do duty in the first line,
amalgamating itself as best II can with
the regulars now available within con-
tinental United States
We have come to a pass when the
National Guard is our chief military
resource. 10 can be depended upon TO
do IT'S duty TO the best of its ability.
It should be recruited up to full
strength without delay. May It's pa
triotic ardor and eagerness 70 learn
enable It to make up in part for the
wretched muddling and bundering at
Washington which have imposed on it
a first line duty beyond its present
military capacity The country must
never allow itself to be caught in such
a situation again.

ties in the United States On Humane Sunday Clergy
men are requested to devote whole or part OF one
service to the subject OF kindness to children and ami

GOOD ROADS.

From the Laurel Leader.
Good roads in Delaware mean more
to the future of our State than any
one Improvement which might be ad-
vanced al this time.
Good roads and thoroughfares in
any state, county or town, mean that
the highways to growth. prosperity
and development have been opened
Good roads attract The tourist hnds
his travelling pleasant and the coun-
tryside Of worth while interest. II is
interest which leads TO development
There are property owners who OBJ
iect to expenditures for road improve
ments They apparently fail to realize
that they VIII be the ones to ultimate
ly benefit They fear a higher tax rate
or assessment, and even though such
a method were used to raise the neces-
sary funds, the road improvement
would insure them sn increase in
property valuation far in excess OF any
assessment
There is no attraction, even to an
Arcadia. IN the path is tumbled and
strewn with pitfalls and hardships. In
nocent autoists drive merriiy into
claypits from which they have TO be
hauled by horse or oxen. This does not
encourage them to admire the section
through which such roads lead. II
does not encourage the stranger TO
settle or even visit. New people mean
new producers. A network of good
roads in Delaware would do more u
develop. improve and enrich the State
than any single measure which could
be followed.

There is q good story of J. NJ. Bar rie in Douglas Sladen's Twenty Years of My Life"
 ''It appears that the talented author of ''The Little Minister" having prom ised to be present at q dinner of the Authors club, was late, for which he apologtzed.
 He had, he explained, been to the wrong club. He had never been to the Authors before, he said, so he asked policeman the way.
 From the way he pronounced the word, the policeman thought he meant Arthur's club, and to Arthur's accord ingly Barrie was directed.
 When he got there he found it very grand place. The club porter looked him up and down, and said:
 'The servants entrance is round the corner"
 It took the moral courage of q Scotsman (adds Mr. Sladem to tell that story but it was inimitably funny, told in Barrie's broad Doric- Exchange.

Health Conditions Improved.

Good results are being obtained from the International Health Board, a Rockefeller endowment fund, ac- cording to Dr. John A. Ferrel of New ork, director general of the board, who visited Bauxite Sunday with Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health officer, and observed conditions that have been secured there by the State Board of Health and Dr. H. A. Taylor. The Rockefeller endowment fund of $100,- 000,000 is used in improving sanitary and general health conditions in all parts of the country. Physicians di- rected by this board have begun a campaign at Bauxite in Saline county. and another in Woodruff county. The sanitary work at Bauxite is under the direction of General Gibbons, super intendent of the American Bauxite Company who says that this is the first summer he has been able to sit on his front porch unafraid of mos- quitoes. General Gibbons also said that while there has been considera- ble typhoid fever in that section in past years, there were only three cases this summer, and the persons who contracted it had used water from condemned springs. Dr. Ferre1 is touring all the Southern states. The work in Woodruff county is in charge of Dr. William Griswold.
