of an organized field army Of two mill
lion men would be possible within five
years after passage of the senate army
reorganization bill, Chairman Wads-
worth of the senate military committee
said today in his report to the senate
on the measure. The cost would not
exceed $500, $4,000 annually, he said.
Including the permanent standing
army of 29s. 900 and the citizens army
and national guard, as proposed, the
measure through its compulsory mill
tary training plan would permit the
mobilization next year of an army of
.198, 900 men the report continued.
Youths trained would be passed into
the citizens reserve army and in 1926
the nations available military strength
would be 3,345, 200 officers and men,
while the cost per man would be re-
duced from $500 in 1921 to sits in 1926.

eign garrisons and the coast defense 10

tfons. This can be done even after

MARINE LEAGUE
ORGANIZER Here
Mrs. Lillian Parsons Carlisle
Will Try to Teach Pensacola
to ''Think Ships"

Do you know what the National Ma
rine League of the United States stands
for? Ask Mrs. Lillian Parsons Car
Isle. Mrs. Carlisle. who is southern
representative of the league is in Pen
sacola to organize a branch to support
the American merchant marine in
competition with foreign trade.
The National Marine League" says
Mrs. Carlisle, has undertaken to ac-
complish that very necessary step in
the awakening of the people them
selves.
Mr.. Hurley and Mr.. Schwab have
long since told us that the country
must be taught to think in terms Of
ships. Chairman Payne of the Ship
ping Board eloquently emphasized this
point in Savannah a short time ago.
1t is the inevitable conclusion of these
men who have studied the task.
There is no enduring law without
the support of the people" Mrs. Car
Isle continued, and congressman re-
fleet the attitude of the people they
represent
Mrs. Carlisle is in Pensacola to bring
the educational propaganda before the
commercial bodies and schools of Pen
sacola. She hopes to carry out Mr.,
Hurley's instructions and to "appoint
live Merchant Marine Committee
in every community to teach the peo-
pie to be ship-minded."
The league stands for American car
goes, mails and passengers carried in
ships, built owned. operated and
manned by Americans; classified and
insured by American companies,
equipped and repaired in American
ports by American labor.

AUTO INSURANCE
TO COME HIGHER
Thefts and Accidents More
Than Doubled Recently
Say Insurance Heads

New York, Jan, 30.-Sharp increase
in premiums paid by automobile
owners for insurance against theft
and accident are to be announced
shortly by the eastern conference of
the National Automobile Underwriters,
it was stated today in insurance cir
cles. The underwriters were said to
be wavering between an increase of 40
per cent and one of so per cent.
Automobile insurance men declare
that thefts and accidents have been
more than doubled within the past
few years and that only a generous
increase Of rates can save them from
being forced out of business. Owners
of automobiles are blamed in part Tor
the condition, the assertion beirg made
that car owners who carry insurance,
sit back and let the insurance COM
panies do the worrying about acci-
dents and thefts."

LOUISVILLE JURY
INDICTS POLICE
Charge Is Made by Court That
Gambling Has Been Under
Protection.

Louisville, Jan. 30.-Both the grand
Jury and a circuit court judge today
took official cognizance OF allegations
that gamblers here have been permit
ted to operate without molestation. Ar
ter indicting IL persons, including a
police captain and two other city Of
ficials on charges connected with
gaming. the grand jury said it was
satisfied gambling could not have eX-
listed to the extent found unless some
sort of protection was given. Judge
Harry Robinson made similar COM
ment.
1t was announced a policeman would
tell the next grand jury he had orders
not to molest games at two negro re-
publican clubs and TO protect a noto-
rious dance hall where there was no
color line.
The disclosures are ascribed to a
split in republican city administration
and over tentative candidates for
mayor which have created widespread
interest in the state.

REBELS ATTACK
MEXICAN TRAINS
Sixty-FOur Instances of DeraiI-
ments and Dynamiting Are
Reported During Year.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Sixty- -four in
stances OF attacks. derailments and
dynamiting of trains in Mexico dur
ing the last year are classified as SER
ious in am official report, a copy of
which reached Washington today.
The instances reported were chiefly
in the Northern part of the country
and on the Mexican line, between Mex
leo City and Vera Cruz, and the Is
thmus line The report makes a point
Of the fact that the greater number of
these wrecks as a result of rebel ac-
tivies occurred during the first half
or the year and officials here regard
this as due to the refusal of the United
States to permit shipment of arms
and munitions, including dynamite,
into Mexico during the second half
of the year.
The railroads suffered losses of $5o,-
600 in money, eight locomotives and
ITO freight and passenger cars as a
result Of the rebel raids, the report
said. In addition to this more than
$3.50, 900 worth of freight and baggage
was reported to have been destroyed
or stolen by rebels.

FARMERS GIVE
O. X. TO LAWS
Government Ownership Roads
and Price Fixing Is
Opposed.

Washington. Jan. 30.-There is moth
ing fundamentally wrong with the
government of the United States and
there is no need of a change in ex-
listing social standards and economic
laws, representatives of seven national
farm organizations declared in a
memorial adopted at a conference here
yesterday and presented today to con-
gress.
Discussing national issues the me-
mortal declares farmers are emphatt-
cally opposed to government ownership
and operation of railroads. The me-
mortal denounces government price
fixing, condemns profiteering, opposes
compulsory military training, and
says the practice of indiscriminate
striking for trivial causes and regard
less of distress or damage is indefen-
sible. but says the right to cease work
individually or collectively is unassaiI-
able.

nursing facilities nowhere are over
taxed. Certainly the situation is in
marked contract to that which pre-
varied last year"
