DR.. Chase is planning to arouse the
law and order forces all over the

Another demand for an accounting

rights provide that the play must be

0. S. AMBASSADOR RESIGNS
Fletcher Sought To Resign Post Ias'
Summer. But Was Induced
To Remain

Washington.-Henry P. Fletcher mas
resigned as UnIIed States ambassador
to Mexico, to take effect in the course
OF the next few weeks.
Those who know the reason for MI
Fletcher's decision say that he was
convinced that a continuation OF the
efforts he has made during the Tour
wears in which he has held TINS III
portant post to bring the Carranza
government into accord with the Unit
ed States government on the many
irritating issues which have arisen III
yolving the protection OF American
lives and property rights, would De
futile. He terminates eighteen years
of service in the diplomatic brancn
of the government with great regret
and without any particular plans lol
his own future, but feels certain ne
can no longer be helpful IN cultlNaI'
ing proper relations with Mexico az
long as President Carranza remains
in control there. The ambassadors &C
tivity in the presentation OF the Amer
lean demands have made 1t certain
that he could not return to his posi-
with benefit to either government.
Mr. Fletcher's resignation was not
hastily determined upon and, in fact,
last summer he sought to terminate
his relations with the state depart
ment But, owing to the state OF pub
lie business and the illness OF some
of the higher officials of the depart
ment, he was induced to remain in
Washington to act as advisor to the
secretary in matters relating not only
to Mexico, but to all Latin-America,
for which work lie was peculiarly fit
ted by reason of his long experience
in that part of the world.
Mr.. Fletcher was appointed ambas-
sador to Mexico in February, 1916. but
did not go to Mexico City until the
February of the following year, haY-
ing come to the United States from
Chile, where he was the American
ambassador, for long series of con
ferences.

MILITARY TRAINING FOR BOYS
Citizen Army Cannot Be Calleo SH
eept In Case OF Declaration
OF War

Washington.-By a vote OF 3 TO O..
the senate military committee ap-
proved provisions providing for COM
pulsory military training for boys De-
tween Is and q years, inclusive ana
ordered a favorable report upon the
army reorganization bill.
The compulsory military training
provision which fixes the training Pc
riod at four months, was opposed IN
the committee by Senators Lenroot
Of Wisconsin and Capper OF Ken
lucky, Republicans, and Senators Nc
Kellar of Tennessee, sheppard of Tex
as and Kirby of Arkansas, Democrats.
Senators Wadsworth Of New York,
Warren of Wyoming, Sutherland OF
West Virginia, Frelinghuysen OF New
Jersey, Knox of Pennsylvania ana
Spencer of Missouri, Republicans, and
Chamberlain of Oregon and Thomas
of Colorado, Democrats, supported 1t.
Senator Mcclellan announced that he
would submit a minority report, in
which a number of the senators who
opposed the plan are expected to con-
cur.
AS finally agreed upon the bill is
virtually the same as reported by the
subcommittee, but is radically differ
ent from the reorganization bill sub
mitted by the war department to con-
gress. In addition to establishing
compulsory military training the bill
provides for the establishment of one
army, 20 be divided into a citizen army
composed of men who have received
the compulsory training, a standing
army consisting of two hundred and
eighty thousand enlisted men and
eighteen thousand officers and nation
al guard.
Specific provision is made in the
bill that the citizen army cannot be
declaration of war. To accommo-
date the reserve force built up under
the system of military training, pro-
vision is made in the bill for an an
nual reduction of per cent in the
enlisted strength of the regular army
and per cent in the number OF en-
listed officers for the first five years.
This will mean, Chairman Wadsworth
explained, that at the end of five
years, the regular army will be re-
duced by 10000 men and 1900 COM
missioned officers, which will greatly
decrease the cost of maintaining the
military establishment.
