III the United States Army is the edu-
cational benefit. The army Of today IN
much different from that of yesterday.
The soldier of yesterday did not have
the great opportunities the soldier OF
today has. Their camps were very
unhealthy. The soldier who enlists
now may go on with his course while
he is training. Some men do not have
way the army benefits them. There
the advantage to go to school. In this
are schools OF all kinds. There is the
saddler's school that teaches the sol
diers to repair and make harness.
The horse shoer's school teaches the
care of the sick horses. Some Of these
courses can only be taken up in the
army. The people do not realize the
advantages of an enlistment in the
United States Army.
A soldier is well paid and has no
difficulty in saving. He may send IN
amount he desires to his parents or
any person. The government takes
care of sending the allowance.
Any young man enlisting in the
army has the opportunity to see the
world which in civil life he could not.
The whole world respects al American
soldier.
He has the opportunity to advance.
There are examinations In the army
which the soldier can take and IL lie is
eligible enough he ma! have the honor
Of being some officer.
A soldier does not spend all his
hours in training he may secure some
position outside which is a great ben
eft to him.
Anything a soldier takes up in the
army will undoubtedly be useful tc
him in civil life.
The separate organizations have
their baseball and football teams. Tn
soldier II benefited by these.

Paving Contracts Let
In Several Towns

Paving contracts have been let at
Huron, Mitchell and Brookings 70,
approximately 10000 yards of paving,
one contractor getting all three jobs.
The prices these contracts were let
at range from 1898 to $3.50 per square
yard. One reason given for many
towns not getting bids on paving was
the lack of cement and gravel.
The city officials Of Miller are in
vestigating the possibility of getting
gravel at the Blunt pit. IL suitable
gravel could be secured there it is
claimed that the cost of paving could
be reduced at least Csc per yard.
which would mean quite a saving on
the 10000 yards to be paved at Miller.
Although no bids were received on
the paving to be done at Miller, sew
eral inquiries were received. The city
council will soon re-advertise and it
Is hoped that satisfactory bids will be
received at that time.

PRES. STICKS FOR
ARTICLE TEN
Number Of Changes Made In Reserva-
ti0ns. May Meet Democratic
Approval

Washington, Mar. "a modified
draft Of the Republican Article 10
reservation to the peace treaty is I'M
derstood to have been assented to
today by a number of Republican
leaders working with Democrats for
a compromise.
The new reservation was said to
follow in general the outline of the
| original Republican draft, but to con-
tain a number of changes agreed TO
|ty Democrats.
Republicans seemed confident that
the new reservation would have the
Iapproval of Senator Lodge, Republican
leader. It was understood however.
that the Democratic leader, Senator
Hitchcock, had not assented to II.
Democratic leaders were slow in
promising their support while they
weighed the meaning OF President
| Wilson's letter reiterating his oppo-
| sition to any reservation that would
impair the full force of Article 10.
President Wilson's letter TO Senator
Hitchcock outlining anew HIS stand on
reservations to the peace treaty gave
a new angle today to the ratification
fight in the senate where debate has
been limited by unanimous consent In
an effort TO hurry a decision.
Although the president did not say
what reservations he would accept or
reject he declared that all OF the quail
i6cations suggested were "in effect
virtual notifications of the pact.
To weaken Article 10 of the league
OF nations covenant, he said, would be
to cut the very heart from It.. Es-
pecial interest was evident on that
part OF the letter dealing with mill
tary ambitions of other great powers.
The president declared that imperial
istic policies were by no means dead
in the council OF the nations whom we
most trust"
without Article 10, he said, there
could be no certainty of denunciation
OF plans for territory ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
at tire expense of weak people. The
president mentioned specifically in this
connection that Britain and Japan be-
fore the war had begun to find many
interests In common in the Pacific,

entrance to Magdalena bay, lower

members of the crew are aboard the
steamer Mazatlan, due here March IS,
according to advices received here to-
day.
In the absence of authentic reports
as to the manner in which the four
naval men were killed. belief in naval
circles here was that they either were
asphyxiated by chlorine gas generated
when water reached the submersible's
batteries or were carried overheard
while attempting to escape the fumes
after the HI had beached. Wireless
! messages to Rear Admiral Roger
Welles said chlorine gas was pouring
from the coming tower of the craft
last Saturday "a hours after she had
| beached and that a heavy sea waa
! running.
The destroyers Sinclair, McCawley
and Meade are standing by the HI
ard the destroyer Woolsey and the
fuel ship Neptune are enroute to the
! scene Of the accident which is about
| $50 miles south Of San Diego. 1t was
believed here the HI could be saved.
| The Sinclair got line to the HI
Saturday afternoon, but it parted.

born in South Carolina and was ap-
! pointed to the naval academy al Anna
