LARGE ARMY OPPOSED
 BY GEN. LEONARD WOOD

Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of the Central Department, appeared be- fore the senate committee on military affairs to give his views concerning the reorganization of the army.
 He disagreed entirely with the rec ommendation of the secretary Of war that the standing army should con sist of 576,000 men, which Senator Wadsworth has indicated would prove but skeleton for an army of 1,250,- 900. Such an army, the general said would be an unnecessary waste and extravagance in time of peace. He said he thought 225,000 or '250, ,0OO men would be sufficient to meet all the needs of the government.
 Asked by Senator Chamberlain if he had been consulted in the slightest degree by the general staff or the secretary of war in regard to the re- organization plans, he said he had not been asked single question during the past two years.
 He proposed separate aviation de- partment and called attention to the fact that England turned out in July S,UOO HSW pldHcS, lldI T idHCt nIllSlleG 800 of them and that the United States completed grand total of IA.
 Asked what would be the use of the creation of 32 new brigadier gen. erals of the line, as recommended by General March and the secretary of war, he replied: .,
 "To draw pay"
 They were entirely unnecessary, he said.
 The regular army of 250,000 men should be used to garrison the island possessions and also protect this coun- try. He said it should form the nu. cleus for the training of citizen sol diery through universal service of youths of 19 years for period of six months, from April to October.
 The war, he said, had been the most democratizing force in American his tory and was in itself, so far as the American soldiers were concerned a refutation of the prediction that mill tarism would result here. He said the drafted and volunteer men were all glad to get out of the service and wanted no more of it; that the service did not make Prussians out of them, but bettered them physically and gave them higher appreciation of law and order. As an overseer of Harvard col lege, he said that the universities would all recognize that the two months lost in schooling would be made up many times by the advan- tages of military training. He told of the agricultural and other instruc- tion welcomed by the boys of his own camps.

Mir. Carlson left Flagstaff Monday night. Whether or not he will be re- called depends, it is said, upon future developments. His testimony was fol- lowed with the closest interest by the few who knew he was here. He was characterized by both sides as a re- markable witness. Just what it would require to fuster him is hard to say; in fact, after listening to him, it is hard to believe that anything would disturb his sang-froid, aplomb, equi- lbrium, or whatever the thing is that goes topsy-turvy when one is excited.

DEMOCRATS HITTING
 SIBERIAN SOLDERING

Unable to longer withstand the pressure of public opinion against the retention of American soldiers in S- beria, in spite of the strenuous efforts of the administration and the com mand of the president to keep them there, the Democrats of the House have voiced their determination to vote with the Republicans in having them all brought back without delay.
 Representative Mason, of Illinois, declared that the presidents attitude was entirely unconstitutional, due to the fact that the United States is not at war with Russia, and would in- dicate that he might be trying to make himself king instead of a chief executive subject to the check of the legislative branch of the government.
 Congress should not permit this, " he declared. "These American sol diers should not be kept in Russia. They were never intended to serve any such purpose. They ought to be brought back home. They are starv- ing to death and are being used as policemen and laborers. The war de- partment is making our men watch men in Silesia and scsvengers in Si- beria. If the presidents son-in-law were there with the Y. M. c. A. he would be recalled"

ONLY A CHECK

A countryman tells how at rail- way station, as a number of wives were starting for the seashore and bidding their respective husbands adieu, he heard one really charming young matron say, as she kissed her hubby goodbye:
 "Au revoir, dearie. Don't forget to write!"
 "Oh, I'll write often," protested her husband.
 Do, dearie," continued the wife, "do-if it's only check"

Beginning at S:30 p. m. on the even ing of the 18th, the first intimation that there was going to bsa celebra- tion, aside from the decorations and bowers arranged for the comfort of the participants and their guests, the Americans, was the sound of music as the initial parade came down the road from Verde. This consisted of two standard bearers in the lead carrying the United States and Mexican flags; then a first-class Mexican band and a great procession of daintily dressed women and girls and well-groomed "caballaros," with the Mexican na-

LESTER RAY MANLEY
 DIES AT COTTONWOOD

The citizens of Cottonwood were shocked to hear of the death of little Lester Ray Manley, the 6-weeks-old son of MT. and Mrs. R. H. Manley. The little one passed away at 800 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. It seems that the little one has been very delicate from birth and though it put up heroic struggle for life it was of no avail. The little fellow was laid to rest at 400 o'clock Wednes- day afternoon by loving hands in the Cottonwood cemetery, Rev. Woodruff officiating. The parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.

THE children are thinking about

it more attractive.
