Secretary Submits Plans-Asks Tor
Compulsory Military Service

Secretary of War Baker has pre-
sented the War Department with
measure calling for a standing arm.
of 1.25O,OOO men and Senator Cham
berlain, with Representative Kahn, O.
California, sponsor bills Of similar I'M
port which are designed to give the
United States permanent standing
army of trained men.
Provisions of Bill.
Secretary Bakers bill provides 1oi
q. regular army of twenty-one dINls-
ions and necessary auxiliary services:
with peace strength of 51O.OO0 en-
listed men and a war strength of L.
100000. The reserves to fill up the
divisions to full strength would be
provided through a modified form OF
the selective service act under when
the national army was raised for the
war with Germany.
Three Months Training.
For training purposes, youths in
their nineteenth year would be called
to the colors for a three-months period
to be attached to regular divisions,
for that time. It is estimated that
this would provide an annual class of
100000 men to be given intensive
military instruction, stripped of all
vocational or other educational fea-
lures
The bill provides for reorganization
Of the regular army in substantially
the same terms as previously recon-
n1ended by Secretary Baker when the
current army appropriation bill was
under consideration.
No mention of the national guard is
made in the bill, but in his letter to
the committee chairman Secretary
Baker said he assumed that the ma
tional defense act would be continued
in force, making the guard subject to
liberalization for war.
One feature of the universal. train
ing plan of the Department is COM
plete liberalization of the registra-
ton and induction machinery. ouths
in training would receive payment for
all expenses and an allowance OF SIS
a month for incidentals.
Full Details by General Staff.
The theory on which the bill rests
is that an army of 1,250,000 should be
available for rapid mobilization at
need.
To support the plan, general staff
officers have prepared full detailed
studies of cost, systems of mobiliza-
ton, administration and all other fea-
lures which the Department is pre-
pared to submit whenever the Con-
gressional Committees call for them.

BIG STANDING ARMY IS
ASKED FOR BY SECY. BAKER

Hover class of negroes to believe that
such people and papers practically
UNFOLD the criminal, and they are thus
TEMPTED to still more deviltry.
The man who denounces the lynch
ing mob of rapist, and who does
not at the same time denounce the
criminal and warn the negroes to poin
in suppressing the criminals of their
i own race, is, in effect, placing a pre-
mium upon the brute instincts of the
negro criminals and is encouraging
! them to commit crimes.
Upon such men, wherever or who
ever they may be, there rests a tre-
mendous responsibility as aiders and
abettors Of the criminal class of ne
groes and of arousing among the less

cord. They who lynch a criminal
lynch the law and the sovereignty Of
the State, and whenever lynching for
one crime is not punished it inevitab-
,ly begets a disregard of law which
finds expression in lynchings and muir
derings for other causes. But pri-
'marily the paper or the public man
who justly denounces lynchings for
AN outrage upon womanhood without
at the same time denouncing with all
possible energy the crime itself, to the
extent that would be done if his own
wife or daughter had thus suffered,
is particeps criminis in developing
other crimes by falsely leading the ne
gro race to think lightly of this fearfui
crime which british negroes commit
against white women.
There are bad negroes and bad
whites everywhere, and upon the
good negroes of which there are
many, and upon the good whites rests
a tremendous burden of denouncing
the criminals of their own races and
of working in harmony to build up
spirit of mutual understanding and
cancellation.
When the negro emigration from
the South commenced few years ago
we commended it as good for the
South and for the North and West.As
the negro moves into other sections
he learns that there is 6, race antip-
athy wholly unknown in the South.
No such wild mob scenes as those en-
acted in Chicago against the negro
race will probably ever be seen in the
South, and the negro who goes North
or West will learn that he is safer in
the South than elsewhere. But the
negro migration will acquaint other
sections with the negro problem and
therefore bring a clearer understand
ing all over the country that the race
problem is not sectional, but national

MADE RECORD HE WAS AFTER
Remarkable Performance of Engineer
on Hannibal and St. Joseph
Line Many Years Ago.

The first fast mail on a railway
west of the Mississippi was run over
the Hannibal and st. Joseph line, q
northern Missouri railroad between
Hannibal on the Mississippi and st.
Joseph on the Missouri. This road was
completed more than 60 years ago,
and In April Il test fast mail run was
made. The mails We're then carried
overland from St. Joseph to Sacra-
mento, and, In order to get govern
ment contract it was necessary to
establish a new record for speed. The
locomotive was a crude affair burning
wood, the rails We're light, and the
track was not ballaSted. Add Clark
was the engineer, and his instructions
were to make a record that would
stand for so years. Moreover, he came
near doing tin fact, he did do 1t, SO
far as that particular railway was
concerned. The distance from Hann-
bal to st. Joseph is 206 miles, and the
fast mail covered the route in few
seconds over four hours, or at the rate
of 80 miles an nour for the run. This
included two stops for fuel, but these
were brief, for small armies of men
We're waiting, each with an armful of

OBTAIN VARNlsH FROM TREE
China Has Source of Valuable Supply,
But Its Poisonous Quality Limits
Its Use.

Varnish is produced in China from
Il tree commonly spoken of as the var
niSh tree, but known botanically as
rhus yernicifera, which is found in
in the mountains of Hupeh
Kweichow and Szechwan.
The varnlsh is taken from the tree
after 1t is about six inches in diameter
by tapping at intervals of from five
TO seven years, until the tree is fifty or
sixty years of age. A good-sized tree
will yield from five to seven pounds
of varnish.
The natural color of the crude var
nish as applied is black. 1t is con
sidered the most indeStructible varniSh
known. One popularity is that it hard
ems only in a moist atmosphere.
In China it is enormously known
among the foreign communities as
"Ningpo varnish," probably because
ii first came into contact with foreign
trade there, writes Commercial AT
tache Julian Arnold from Picking,
Many persons are poisoned when
they come into even atmospheric con
tact with this varnish, which fact, TN
fortunately reduces its trade posi-
bilites enormously. AS yet no meth
cd has been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality can be counteracted
