the necessity of maintaining a
large standing army, it was as
serted, and is the best possible
method for the raising of armed
forces in an emergency. At the
same time il was pointed out
that the young men of the coun-
try would he materially benefit
ted physically by the period of
training, which was amply dem
onstrated by the camp life dur
ing the World War.
Three months service, as pro-
vidcd by the bill which the
United States Senate failed to
pass last year and which is now
pending before the House Of
Representatives, wus the basis
for the discussion by members of
the Richmond post, aud there
was little opposition 10 the reso-
luton indorsing the plan. The
few opponents objected on the
ground that they desired further
time to consider the matter, al
though proper notice that the

DRY LAW TANGLES
UP Departments

Washington.-Disclo Of num-
Der OF prohibition snarls in which
three government departments and
members of the diplomatic corps are
involved was made when the state de-
partment issued a statement saying
II assumes that no official OF the
government would attempt TO pry into
the baggage OF a foreign diplomatic
officer"
The unusual course OF the state de-
partment In making what appeared to
be a public appeal to other govern
ment officials was adopted, II was
learned. after the treasury had amend
ed customs regulations to require bag
gage OF diplomats to be examined and
liquor removed Back OF the action
of the treasury department. 1t was dis
closed, was an opinion rendered by
the attorney general. II was said TO
hold that the Volstead Act withdrew
from the diplomats the exemption
from customs examination of their
baggage heretofore accorded.
Diplomats have made no formal pro.
test The state department, however,
has seen evidence OF irritation among
them.

After consideration OF the statement
issued by the federal reserve board.
the joint committee of the recent ag
ricultural conference left here to deal
with the matter submitted In report
TO Chairman Charles S. Barrett of the
conference. in which II was stated:
The statement issued by the federal
reserve board not only does not at
tempt to meet the situation and will
not alter conditions, but is even couch
ed in terms to support the prince de-
clines. The boards declaration that
present disturbances are inevitable
and unavoidable Is indefensible In this
crisis.
I'VE advise that the next meeting (of
the full cOnference) be held here on
October 2s. to complete plans already
discussed in executive session"
