MPULSORY ARMY
TRAINING FAVORED
Senate Committee to Report on
Measure Left Over by
the House.
By LEE ELLMAkER,
N. s. stan Correspondent.

Members of the Senate subcommit-
tee on Military Affairs, considering
the army reorganization plan, will
report to the main committee a bill
including the compulsory military
plan. according to information OBJ
tained from members of that body
today.
The House committee has refused
to take up the question of seiective
service at this time. The provision
will be included in the Senate bill
primarily at the request of the Ameri-
can Legion. In the main the selective
service features will be those sug-
gested and approved by the American
Legion. They will constitute the COM
posite recommendations of General
Pershing and others appearing before
the committee, however.
The general plan will be service in
cantonments for four months, for
young men under twenty-one, most
likely during the eighteenth and nine.
teenth years. and service in the ma
tional guard for a period OF thres
years for others.
The Recommendation Of the general
stan on the question OF the size Of
the army will not be followed by the

WOMAN ASSAULT TED; MAN
HUNT ON IN MARYLAND
Criminal Tied Apron Over Her Head
From Behind and She Could
Not Scream,

EASTON. Nd. Dec, 30.-A posse
armed with shotguns and pistols Is
securing the woods OF Tilghmans
Island, searching for q man who
criminally assaulted Mrs. Charles
Mann. wife Of an assistant lighthouse
keeper on Sharps Island. Sunday aft
ernoon. The posse is being headed
by Sheriff Soulsby.
Mrs. Mann was assaulted at the
boarding house Of ]. L. Faulkner, at
Tilghm&ns Island, where she and her
husband have . room. She is a young
woman.
Her husband. she said, had left a
few minutes before and she thought
1t was Mr.. Mann returning when her
assailant entered. Because she was
crying. she said, she did not turn
around. and therefore failed to get a
look at the man. who crept up behind
her and pulled the apron she was
wearing over her head. He tied It
ing for help and over her eyes to
blindfold her.
The victim said she struggled and
beat the man. but he soon overpow-
cred her. She does not know how he
left the house, because she was in a
semi-dazed condition.
When Mr.. Mann returned his wife
told him of the attack and he sum-
moned neighbors. who. after arming
themselves, started search. Sheriff
Stitchberry was summoned and the
search was continued all through the
night.
Footprints were found in the snow
outside the house and 1t is on these
that Sheriff Stitchberry will rely for
Identification should an arrest be
made.

FARMERS YIELD TO
BANDITS IN MEXICO
Decide It Is Wisdom to Agree
With Them Rather
Than Fight.
SAN LUIS PorosI, Mexico, Dec. 80

SAN LUIS POTOSI. Mexico, Dec. 80.
by attempting to resist their depreda-
tions. Let them have their way, lest
they be irritated. Or, IL 1t can be done
discreetly, "play the game with them"
This is the philosophy of a great
many farmers in the San Luis Potosi
district, located in the central Mexican
state of the same name-a state which
Is about equal in size to the area of
West Virginia. The farmers appear
to have acquired this reasoning
through a wealth Of experience. Their
dealings with the local marauders
have taught them it is the wisest
method to pursue.
And the practice does seem to have
obtained a measure of result, even
though its workings are not always
above the suspicion of the Carranza
government. AT any rate, the dip
lomatic" farmer Of this section! is
able today to work his land; he, is
producing. The bandits, Of course,
may become overexalous on !occa-
sions, but the farmer figures that by
and large it is wisest to adopt the
following tactics:
When the bandit makes his appear
ance, cooperate with him. Meet him
halfway. II he demands food or other
supplies, hand them to him. Better
do that than resist and have the
bandit take everythfng-and perhaps
endanger life at the same time. BY
this placating attitude the man on
the soil reasons, he will be allowed
to continue operation Of his farm.
The story. however, Is not without
the other side. Federal forces are
working to suppress banditry and
establish order. The opportunist
policy of many of the farmers. they
declare, is often equivalent to con-
nivance with the bandits and impedes
the governments efforts for law and
order.
But the important feature IL that
the struggle for peace appears to be
making headway. The farmer Of San
Luis Potosi is going to work.

Y. M. C. A. HUTS APPEAL
FOR PROGRAM TALENT
Need of Entertainment for Camps
Presented at Meeting Of So
cial Secretaries.

AS a result of a meeting of the
social secretaries of the Y. M. C. A.
huts in the vicinity of Washington
yesterday afternoon at the central
Y. NJ. c. A.. 1886 G street, a systematic
appeal is to be made to the people
Of Washington to furnish theatrical
talent for the camps in this district.
The plea was made by the secre-
taries that interest on the part Of
singers, uancers and ether entertain
ers who furnished amusement dur
ing the war was beginning to wane,
and as a result they were having, a
difficult time making up programs,
although the camps in this vicinity
were still crowded and men had more
time on their hands. Consequently
more entertainment was nece SSary to
keep them contented during the period
of discharging.
At Quantico last night the enter
tainment was furnished by Howard
Lesley Holt and two of his, juvenile
proteges; Miss Josephine Gould, so
prano; Newton Preston, readings;
Lillian Koehlins; violinist. and Mrs.
Florence Lyon, dramatic reader. ac-
companied by Miss Dorothy Burch.
At Liberty Hut, near the Union
station here, the entertainment was
furnished by Mrs Maud Malcolm, dra-
acter songs; Miss Elmira Sessions,
soprano, and Miss Grace Myers, reader.
