After the war between the states,
many officers who had held the rank
OF general reverted to the rank Of
captain and many colonies became
lieutenants after the forces were de-
modified. It was customary for a
long time after the war to address Of
ficers socially with the highest title
held by them at any time There
were many officers in the Spanish
American war who held higher rank
in that war than in the regular army.
but the custom Of calling them with
the highest rank reached did not con-
tinue so generally as just after the
civil war.

CLOCKS SET FORWARD ONE
HOUR MARCH 31ST

The president has signed the bill
called the daylight saving bill,
passed by congress. On Sunday,
March 31st, all clocks will be set
forward one hour. Sunday, October
9th, they will be set back again.
Daylight will not come one instant
sooner, nor will darkness follow
sooner, and just how any saving is
to be effected we confess we do not
know. If an order had gone into
effect to go to work an hour earlier
in the morning and work an hour
longer in the evening would the re-
suit not have been the same? Chang
ing the clock neither advances day
light or retards night. Now the
German Kaiser may ask God to turn
night into day, and then where are

OUR WAR STRENGTH
English tlItary Correspondent
Thinks Well OF Us.
REGULARS HIGHLY TRAINED,

Colonel Repinaton Declares That capa-
BILE General Staff Exists to Point Way
and That West Point Training End
Discipline Will Assert Themselves
Over Volunteer Army.
London. Colonel Repmgton, the mil
itary correspondent of the Times
writes as follows in the course of an
article on the United States army:
The United States army is a gallant
army, composed of line men, led by Off
GERS of high attainments, but it is not
an army in the modern sense. Won
Hindenburg probably has Influenced
the German general staff's view of
American military power as of no &C
count and probably will remain of no
account during the duration of the
war;"
After describing the American army
and militia organization and stating
that the census of 1910 showed 10000,
600 men of military age in the country
Colonel Repington proceeds as follows:
THE general staff of the United
States army and the many prominent
American statesmen who have been
secretaries of war or otherwise con-
nected with the army must have work
ed out long ago the plans to be follow
ed in the event of such a crisis as has
now arisen.
Direct military Intervention of the
United States in the war in Europe Is
not practicable, even were America to
desire it. The obvious course is to use
the highly trained regulars, particular
ly the officers, as the nucleus for a vol
unteer army which should not form at
any one time force larger than can
be properly trained.
I'VE cannot doubt in the light of past
experience in American military prac-
tice that in popular cause recruits
would flock to the colors by the hun
dreds of thousands. but an army 80
formed would be a hindrance rather
than a help except in case of invasion,
TO which the United States would hard
ly be exposed.
1.-THE United States has one greaC ad-
vantage. She is self contained and not
exposed to serious attack. She is pop
ulous and wealthy. Potential Internal
difficulties may vanish if the country
be united.
"A capable general staff exists to
point out the way. West Point train
ing and discipline will assert them
selves over a volunteer army grouped
around regulars and cadets The wal
industries which have been expanded
and created for the service of the bel
jgerents will be at Americas disposal
IF she elects to aid the cause it will
prove for her that the ola fire Is not
extinct If the aid of America will be
more useful Immediately in finance and
)n the seas the eventual employment
of her army in support of her policy
must be foreseen."

PLANT SORGHUM CANE

Every man in the Wenatchee val
ley should plant a patch OF sor-
ghum. If planted in rows and culti-
waited a half acre will make enough
syrup for a dozen families. If sown
thick an acre will make enough of
the very best cow, or even horse
feed for a dozen animals. For this
purpose it should be sown broad
cast and tolerably thick, and cut be-
fore the seed is ripe, else the cane
will be too hard for the best results.
1t will not contain so much saccha-
rine but will be safer and better
feed for cows. There is no better
milk COW feed than sorghum fodder.
When cut it can be tied in bundles
like oats and can be stacked or put
in barns after it is cured and hand
led much easier. When planted for
fodder the variety known as Amber
cane is best because the stalks are
smaller and it is better adapted to
sowing broadcast.

The Council has already accomplish

It requested and secured Federal

the efforts of the Council, the street

GOLD NUGGETS IN KANSAS.
