Many men then on duty had enlisted
for the duration Of the war and have
since been demobilized
Troops hitherto have been used merely
as additional police officers and have
not been numerous enough to cope with
disturbance. In fights at police bar
racks, the attackers generally have been
ten times more numerous than the de-
tenders end. as they have also been well
armed, the contest has been unequal.
Soldiers, therefore, have been called in
to establish balance.
In many places they are doing
ordinary police patrol which is form
of duty in which police are exposed to
great risks. Many recent murders of
policemen have occurred on patrols
where the routes Of the officers were
known, some being shot from ambush.
It will be more difficult in future for
raiders to carry on this sort of warfare,
as armQred cars will be used :.
Government operations are being di
rected to the maintenance of ordinary
law. When cattle are driven from
farms, troops are not concerning them
selves with the nature of the dispute
between farmers and raiders. but arc
trying to punish the cattle drivers and,
with the aid of cavalry round up and
restore the cattle to their owners.

Mr.. Daniels reviewed at length all
OF the personnel legislation during his
term of Office and told the committee
that what the navy did in enrolling
and training young men during the
world war has had no precedent in any
navy. during the last or any previous
war. H.. -
The British navy, he said. totsled
40. .162 officers and men when the
armistice was signed, against 52O, O,O21
for the United States.
Nobody in the navy in 1915 or 1916
dreamed that in any war so many as
500, 900 men would be needed, y he de-
clared.
IL was not until after the United
States entered the war that it became
evident preparations must be made on

Of the South Sea Islands.
Doctor Bryan said the $50 natives Of

man, seated on box on the dock, facing
in the opposite direction. He did not
even look around.
Doctor Bryan said he had obtained
evidence that Juan Fernandez Island
400 miles off the coast of Chile, once
was connected by land with Hawaii
more than 5000 miles away. He said
shell growth on both were identical.

Flag Of Washington
FOURTH OF JULY
1870

Ring the tuneful bells of Freedom,
Let their music float. afar,
Look aloft and see our banner
Of the glorious stripe and star;
Crowned with vict'ry, bathed in
splendor
Upon many field of fame,
Heroes brave have died around il,
Each with an immortal name.
Meath it's folds our fathers tri-
umphed
In the valiant days of yore,
And in battles for their country
They that beautcous banner bore;
Not a star today is missing,
Not a stripe a tarnish knows,
As il waves in conscious splendor
From the sun lands to the SHOWS
Let our Eagle guard il ever
For the honor il has won,
As he bathes his noble pinions
In the light Of Freedoms sun,
Proud to see his emblem floating
'Gainst the vaulted azure sky;
Hear him shrek his proud approval
Every fourth day of July.
On the land and on the ocean,
Far as human eye can SEQ
Lips repeat the deathless story
OF the Banner of the Free;
Born amid the storms of battle
Not a shame it's glory mars;
And new nations wake to freedom
At the glitter of its stars.
Mirrored in our crystal rivers,
Streaming from our mountain
peaks,
Loved by freemen for its beauty
1t for Right and Homeland speaks
Time will never dim it's glory
While in heaven shines the sun;
Ever linked to song and story
Is the Flag of WASHINGTON.
