Washington.-Since the close of hos
tilities there has been discussion as to
what shall be done with the army, and
already the suggestion has been made
that it is going to be necessary 20
maintain a very large army in the
United States. There has always been
more or less of conflict over the size
of the army, and on account of the
much-talked-of preparedness there will
be a strong effort made to maintain a
large army, even if it is not needed
for fighting in Europe. But the pros
poets are that there will be very con-
siderable reduction and the efforts to
keep regular army of between 300,-
600 and 100000 men will probably fail.
Secretary Baker has not changed his
ideas in regard to peace and ne never
has believed in large military estab-
lishment. Even after the outbreak of
the war in Europe, President Wilson
in his address to congress decried a
large standing army

Occasionally there is a suggestion
that the states have some rights in our
system of government. The matter
came up when the new senator from
New Hampshire, George a. Moses,
was presented. There was suspicion
that little partisanship was injected
into the opposition to having Moses
sworn in, but the discussion turned
upon the right of a state to be repre-
sented. Short and strong arguments
We're made on this subject by Senators
Underwood of Alabama and Reed of
Missouri. Afterward Senator Lewis of
Illinois remarked that many lawyers
in the senate clearly missed the point
when they referred to the fact of "a
new senator presenting himself. THAT
is not the idea at aIl,' said Lewis. 1T
was the sovereign state of New Hamp-
shire presenting a man to the senate,
to represent her, and with a certificate
under the seal Of the state" At all
events, the idea was clearly brought
out that every state has Il right to be
represented and that the certificate
from the properly constituted authori-
ties of the state is prima facie evil
dence that the state has acted. What
may happen afterward in case a CON
test is brought is for the senate to de-
termine, but the right of a state to be
represented in the senate is considered
fundamental by those who discussed
the subject.

fast as they can make arrangements
to leave. In many of the large depart

on by the war cards have been passed
around asking the clerks whether or
not they desire to remain or 70, and it
was surprising to the otficials to find
how many were ready to leave as soon
as they could be spared. In very
short time it is expected that many
thousands of these war workers will
be at home. For the most part they
have had all they want of Washington
with its high prices and inconvenient
methods of living. Besides, with the
close of the war, the incentive which
brought them to Washington and
caused them to engage in this war
work is gone. They feel that with the
war ended they are no longer war
workers. They took pride in that
title, but like many men in the army,
they feel that there is really no further
necessity for them TO continue in the
government service.

Cranial fractures are very common
and very dangerous. These wounds
are usually trepanned, that is to say,
the injured portion OF the skull is lifted
mp and any pressure on the brain re-
moved. The wounded man is put to
sleep with ether and an incision is
made around the wound. The scalp is
separated from the skull, the splinters
are picked out by pincers, the dirt is
removed and the edges Of the wound
are smoothed out in order to get a
clean surface. After the wound has
been thoroughly cleaned silver plate
is attached temporarily, and if no com
plications cnsue the attachment Of the
plate is made permanent by the use OF
V-shaped gold nails. The scalp is then
drawn over the plate and sewn in place,
and the wound soon ceases to cause any
worry to the patient.
