EFFICIENCY NEEDED.

The fire scare of last Thursday, when
a small blaze occurred on the second
floor of the Wolf Hotel Annex, demon
strated beyond a doubt that Saratoga
needs and should have an organized
volunteer fire department, with author
ity In case Of fire-fighting necessity
vested in one competent man. We al
ways nave a sufficiency Of volunteer
f~ire-fighters when occasion demands,
but with no organized effort, Int every
body giving promiscuous orders to ev-
erybody else, there is much confusion
and little accomplished in proportion
to the number of workers. We have a
good fire-fighting equipment, and with
this In the hands of an organized COM
pany with a competent chief, any blaze
Of ordinary proportions could be easily
controlled.

of basing the draft upon the men in
class one. Wyoming's district board,
seeing the inequalities that were likely
to arise from this, entered a vigorous
protest against this at Washington, for
the reason that NJ two states would
classify alike.
Wyoming put practically f~orty-three
per cent Of her registrants in class one.
The surrounding states placed but
twenty-one and nineteen per cent Of
their registrants in class one; some of
the other states as low as ten per cent.
However, congress decided to base flu
ture drafts upon class one, with the
result hat while our neighboring states
furnished n man, Wyoming was fur
nishing two, and while some Of the
other states furnished one man, Wyo-
ming furnished four. However, so
long as credit was given for voluntary
e~nlistments, this would not Sc greatly
affect Wyoming, which had an unusual
ly large number of such enlistments.

Twenty thousand Richmond people

training school detachment witnessed
an extraordinarily fine series of drills
and games by the men who have been
in service only 81. weeks, calmly
watched the governor OF Virginia go
aloft in one of the airpianes from
Langley field, and bought a lot of war
savings stamps--the only means pro-
vided whereby the holiday crowd
could spend any money.
The closing event of day OF real
thrills was sham battle in which the
entire detachment of 800 men took
part, giving a vividly realistic repre-
snntstion of battle scene which
brought enthusiastic cheers.
Numbers of visiting officers and SOL
diers from the aviation corps and
from Camp Lee were present as guests
OF the officers of the detachment.
Captain Alcott Farrar Elweii. in COM

on the showing made by the men in
the limited time since their training
