partment and in the expense account
OF the inspecting officers. The gov
eminent and the states have made nee
essary financial provisions for national
guard encampments and rifle ranges,
but have entirely overlooked the most
important factor in the successful SOL
dierlife of the national guard, to-wit,
a nome for his company, his battal-
ion or his regiment.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
What should be done and done i'm
mediately. is this: The various state
delegations in the House of Represent
atives and in the Senate of the United
States should Immediately get to-
gether and agree upon an armory
building bill which would provide for
a reasonable Appropriation for an ar
mory in every town and city in the
United States. where number of COM
panies have been mustered in and are
now in the service, the armory should
be large enough for regimentaI head
quarters. In other cities, where there
may be only one or two or three
companies, and in the smaller cities
and towns maintaining only one com
pany, an armory even smaller would
serve the purpose These buildings
should be permanent structures, built
under the direction of the war depart
ment directly by government appro-
priation. solely for the use of the SOL
diers, and there is not a man of the
100000 in the service who would
not approve the appropriation neces-
sary for this building programme, and
there is not patriotic man or woman
in the United States who would OBJ
pose such an appropriation.
Cities like Birmingham, Dallas
mobile, Montgomery and other towns
maintaining only one company, should
nave armories built not only as the
military home of the citizen soldier.
put as a monument of the great serv-
ice these soldiers have rendered to a
grateful country in its hour of trial
me construction of these armor-
les throughout the nation would give
immediate employment to hundreds of
thousands of men, and the present ses-
SION OF Congress should not adjourn
until an omnibus armory bill, careful
~ thought out and adequate to meet
the needs of the national guard. has
been enacted into law.

ltinuing the statement says:
TEXT OF STATEMENT

The present weakness of the national
guard is the practically utter absence OF
suitable -armories in those towns ana
cities where national guard companies are
organized and in the service. With the
exception of few cities in the United
States. local companies of the national
guard in the various states are housed
in shacks barns, rookeries, abandoned
buildings and makeshifts dignified by the
name of armory, which are in no way in
keeping with either the spirit of the
men in the guard or the dignity of the
organization as military units of the
nation It is as consistent and as es-
sential that these men be furnished with
proper assembly rooms, lockers, drill halls
and rallying points as that they be fur
nished with arms, ammunition, uniforms
and field equipment. 1t is as essential that
they have for each military unit perrna-
nent headquarters in which to assemble,
in which to drill, in which to study ana
in which to mentally and physically equip
themselves for their duties as soldiers
as that they have instructions, inspec-
ton and officers, and the proper source
from which to supply the deficiency IS
the treasury of the United States. It Is
as consistent to make an appropriation
for a suitable armory in the home OF
every unit of the United States as 1t Is
to make an appropriation for custom
house at a port of entry or for post
Office where people assemble to get their
mail
Tt is a disgrace to the governn emit,
to the army and to every state IN the
union that the men are forced to oc-
cupv abandoned buildings, shacks,
barns and deserted halls while in train
ing in the school of the soldier. The
government has been liberal to the
soldier in the matter of arms and
equipment: 1t has been liberal in the
expense account of the recruiting de-

coasts, and the Great Lakes, he re-
sumed his pastorate of the Madison
Avenue Baptist church in this city.
That church gave him leave of alb
sence to enter upon war work. He
spoke many times in ship yards. The
results of his activities of that kind
were recognized and spoken of by Mr..
Charles M. Schwab and Others.
DR.. Eaton came to New York from
Gle, eiand, bringing with him a fine
reputation as a pulpit orator and also
as a most efficient church worker. He
was pastor of the church in Cleveland,
of which John D. Rockefeller was a
m ember. He gained equal success as
pastor of the Madison Avenue Baptist
church and it was with great regret
that his congregation was told by
him a few weeks ago that he felt he
must resign. He had other services in
view. Some thought that he would
be again called into the government
service, and possibly that will be done
within few months.
DR.. Eaton is warm admirer of the
American press. He has often spok e

They are dying in thousands now. VII
emma has so many pauper dead that a
great new cemetery has had to be taken

at night and buried in great trenches
dug to hold a thousand at once.

of success that has ever been attained
by, a similar enterprise in this seq

Fairness to everybody was big fac

In Gay Vienna

Alice Hamilton in The New Republic
The bread ration in Vienna is two
and half pounds week. but twelve
and half per cent of the flour used must
be made up of finely ground sawdust.
1t is not enough for working man,
but it is more than most can buy, espe-
cially since the introduction of excessive
ly dear American flour has sent the
price up till it is now ten times the
normal price of bread. Our food Is in
deed going into Austria but of course
according to an act of congress it must
be paid for and with no raw ma
terials for industry there are no wages
with which to buy bread. To be sure
the new socialistic government is try
ing to make the, rich pay the excess
price and let the poor have bread cheap
ly, but SO far it is only partially sue
cessful. And so families and commune
ties are forced into the position of prm-
tive tribes who must deliberately de-
