Says Men Enlist in Army
Upon Failure in Civil Life
Maj. Gen. Organ Opposes
Bill Providing Large
Standing Forces.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Characteriz-
ing a regular or professional army as
ian absolute institution in which
men enlist after they have failed in
civil life and turn to 1t as an asylum"
Maj. -Gen. John f. Organ, Of the
Twenty-seventh division, proposed
before the senate subcommittee on
military affairs the creation Of a
citizen army of million and a half
men. He was giving his views on
the administrations army bill.
II am opposed to any bill which
will perpetuate large standing
army" Gen. Organ said. He added
he regarded as unnecessary pro-
fessional army except for duty on the
border and a few more purposes. AS
for garrisoning the Philippines and
other insulars, he declared it was not
only unnecessary but unwise since
that was guard work essential to the
navy.
Discussing the character of the per-
sonnet of enlisted professional army,
he declared that such an army was
incapable of efficiency"
Gen. Organs plan for a citizen
army provides for three months
training, with only weekly drill for
three years of 100000 men, and three
years. service in the reserve. He said
he would utilize all the officers of the
national guard and national army
divisions that existed during the war,
and as many of the men as would
re-enlist, with the understanding
they would belong to their old organ
izations, and these organizations
would be perpetuated with all their
traditions" While the army he pro-
posed, he said, would be national in
character, its units would belong in
a sense to the different states to fos-
ter locality PRIDE"

According to the theory OF Officer
Ferris, the murderer OF Cooper may
be either in Nashville or well on his
way TO parts unknown. He believes,
however. that two or more persons
are still In the city who know why
Robin Cooper was murdered, and
knew, perhaps, the perpetrators of
the horrible crime.

tant developments In the murder
mystery Of Robin J. Cooper were ex-

other nations formed as a result OF the
war.
What a Change Since Last Year.
Now what a change. The treaty
has been negotiated. Germany has
signed IT. Germany has ratified it.
Great Britain and Belgium have done
the same. France, Italy and Japan will
do so in rapid succession. The treaty
dictates the terms to Germany just
as these senators demanded II should.
But now the same senators who in
sisted on n dictated peace propose to
abandon it and negotiate n peace set
Element on terms acceptable to Ger
many. 1t is suggested that We desert
our associates and negotiate a sepa-
rate treaty. 1t is proposed that we
adopt a policy of quit and scuttle. 1t
cations and like cravens leave them to
be performed by the nations lately as
ISOLATED with us.
WAS there ever more insane inter-
national policy proposed? In the mix
ture of poltroonery and folly it is diff
cult to see which predominates. The
senator from Pennsylvania goes the
limit. He not only proposes that we
desert our friends and abandon our
obligations, but he suggests that we
release Germany from all promises of
indemnities and reparatons. Why not
go further and propose that we COM
pensate Germany? That would be a
still stronger appeal to German senti-
ment.
Mountains Out Of Mole Hills.
He says in so many words, slaugh-
ter the treaty, desert our friends, aban-
don our obligations and yield to Ger
many. 1 have full faith that when this
treaty is finally released from cold
storage il will in the senate receive
different treatment. Here, unQuestion-
ably, there is an overwhelming major
ity who desire to finish the work UNI
dertaken when we entered the war.
Here will be found a safe majority for
a peace settlement
~ have spoken OF the treaty as a
whole But the league of nations fea-
ture particularly has been persistently
and unreasonably attacked in this
chamber. Those who conjure up these
possible disadvantages seem to ignore
altogether the enormous advantages OF
organizing the world for peace.
'They make mountains out OF mole
hills in reviewing differences OF the
league plan. They are suspicious that
while it may benefit every other nation |
on earth, II is so devised as to bring |
disaster to the United States. They |
crawl on the ground with a microscope |
searching for pitfalls, and are unable |
to look forward to the promised land |
Of peace and order and justice to which |
the new movement leads"

MOTHERS Bfi:f1inid
ALIVE TODAY

Mrs. M. E. Rhinehart Suffered
for Six Months With Stom-
ach Trouble I'VE Had
Lots of Doctors With Her,
and Spent About $500 for
Medicine, but Nothing Did
Her Any Good. Hearing So
Much About MENDOL Made
Us Try It."
While in the Live and Let Live
Drug Store the other day. Mr.. George
Rhinehart, residing at Rossville, Ga.'
made this remarkable statement to
Mr.. L. M. Cox:
my mother has been in poor health
for the past six months, and after
having several different doctors wait
on her, and spending about $4,000
for different medicines, we had about
given up all hopes. None of the
medicines she would take seemed to
do her any good" said Mr.. George
Rhinehart, residing in Rossville, Ga.
For long time my mother has suf-
fered from the worst stomach trouble
imaginable, and nothing we did for
her seemed to help her. Her digestion
was awful, and nearly everything she
would eat would cause her to have
severe cramping pains in her stom-
ach. She did not have the least bit
of energy; was not able to go out and
walk around at all. She had such
drowsy feelings all the time, but
when she would retire at night she
did not rest well at all, and would
feel all tired out the next morning.
We had read such wonderful testi-
monials given by different people in
regard to Mendol, and heard our
friends speak SO well Of 1t that my
mother finally decided to try bottle.
although she did not have much hopes
Of it doing her any good, as she had
tried so many different medicines to
no advantage. She had suffered so
much that she had lost all her
strength and had gone from 191
pounds to 1856 pounds. After she had
taken about one-half bottle of Men
dol she began to feel so much better,
and by the time she had finished the
one bottle she felt like a different
woman. Now she can eat anything
she wishes to without it hurting her,
and has gained her weight back to
$50 pounds. She has derived greater
results from that one bottle of Men
dol than all the $4,000 worth Of medi-
c!nes put together.
1--WE recommend Mendol to every
body. for it certainly had grand and
effects on my mother. It is
q wonderful medicine and tonic, and
is worthy of any ones praise"
Mendol is sold in Chattanooga by
Live and Let Live and other good
drug stores.
Mendol is manufactured by DR.. V.

WEBSTERIAN PLAY
PROMISES TO MAKE HIT

The Doctors Dilemma" to he
presented by the Websterian Debat-
ing society in the college auditorium
Friday evening, May 6, promises to
be one OF the most delightful college
theatricals of the season. The cley-
erness of the lines, coupled with the
ability OF the members of the cast,
is said TO make a combination hard
to beat.
Albion Horrall, as Dr. Simmons,
who is interested in anything but his
profession, tries a new kind of treat
ment which proves to have as much
effect on himself as on his patient.
Harold Truax, in the role of Budd
Wood, the patient, proves to be a fit
ting subject for the doctor to practice
or. Hulda Schwer is cast as Virginia
Melvin, the nurse, who is the cause
of making the doctors treatment so
successful. Ada st. Peter appears as
patient visiting the doctor.
From the very beginning of the
first act until the nurse makes her
final thrust" with the hypodermic
needle at the end of the play, the
situations are comical in the extreme
and every line brings new surprise.
Miss Melcina LaFollette is coach
ing the play, which guarantees that
it will be well staged. AS usual, Miss
LaFollette has made good selections
for the cast, each member being es-
pecially adapted to his or her par
ticular part.
Members of the cast, other than
those already mentioned, are: Rob-
, ert Douglas as Preston Devon, Eliza
beth LeRue as Marion Simmons, Mil
dred Boutwell, as Gertrude Little,
