On the fifth tee, the driver sees only

"SmalI Regular Army in Time of Peace

tONtORMITf with President
1 Harding's Interpretation of the
army reorganization act of June A,
Secretary Of War Weeks has instruct
ed General Pershing, chief of staff, TO
employ all the available resources of
the military establishment to organ
ize, train, and otherwise develop the
National Guard and reserve corps in
to the effective forces.
Under the terms of this order no
skeleton regiments will be maintained
in the regular army, but the 10000
men allowed by congress will be con-
centrated in fully manned, effective
units, while surplus units will be
placed tout of commission" and the
surplus officers assigned to the organ
ization and training of the National
Guard and reserve corps.
AN examination of the statute"
says the Weeks order, shows that the
new law is based on the idea that in
the future, as in the past, great wars
are to be fought, in the main, by
armies composed of citizen soldiers.
We still have the conception of
small regular army in time of peace.

Need of Navy Now Airplane Carriers

ing of the Oestfriesland England al

continued. Japan is getting two. The
United States has none, except the old
collier Jupiter now being turned into
one, and unless congress changes its
mind, will possess no adequate car
riers for some time to come.
In the naval appropriation bill con-
gress refused to heed the recommends
ton for two airplane carriers. That
was before the bombing of the Oest-
friesland demonstrated the hard, cold
fact that the battleship can be quickly
sunk with heavy bombs dropped from
the air, and that the dreadnaught can
be disposed of by dropping bombs into
the water, without even hitting the
ship.
The airplane carrier, a gigantic
naval vessel, larger and speedier than
any warship afioat, fast as the de-
stroyer, and carrying cargo of many
planes-pursuit, reconnaissance, and
bombing-is regarded as the best way
to meet this new aircraft bombing
menace to the battleship.
Those in charge of naval aviation
plans think the navy should be pro-
vided with eight airplane carriers.

Farmers Would Lose Money Ev-
en- With Production at 1914
Costs, Witness Says.
MINNESOTAN TESTIFIES
r. w. Peck, Director Of Agricultural
Extension at University of Mime
sofa Gave Graphic Picture Of
Farm Conditions In State.

Washington Freight rates on car
load Of corn from Nebraska farm to
Omaha payable in 1914 by the sale of
11S bushels, now costs the market
price of 1872 bushels, J. w. Shorthill,
secretary of the Farmers National
Grain Dealers association, told the in
terstate commerce commission at
bearings on grain freight rates
Farmers in IL states, Mr.. Shorthill
said, had effected savings amounting
to 5 cents bushel in handling grain
through cooperative elevators and
market systems, but recent freight
rate increases had more than wiped
it out. Even if grain could be pro-
duced at 1914 costs, he added, farm
ers would lose money at present
freight rates and prices.
Corn costing 55 cents bushel to
produce on a 1914 cost basis, sells for
As cents in Omaha, the farmer getting
about 33 cents after handling and
transportation charges are paid, he
said
Minnesota Conditions Told.
Under present marketing and trans
portation conditions the Minnesota
farmer, who works from sun to sun,
is earning Is cents an hour From
this sum he must pay taxes and in
terest on the mortgage.
F. W. Peck, director of agricultural
extension at the University of Mime
sofa, gave this information in a
graphic picture of farm conditions in
Minnesota to the commission. A re-
duction in freight rates, Mr. Peck
told the commission, will go long
way toward increasing the earning
power of the farmer.
Effect of Cut Told.
For instance, Mr.. Peck said re-
duction of cents in the freight rate
on wheat will increase his Is cents
an hour by % per cent; of cents by
80 per cent, and of cents by 81 per
cent. On oats the farmer will profit
more by freight reductions. A cent de.
crease will mean an advance in the
Is cents an hour of 3S per cent;
cents, an increase of SO per cent, and
cents an increase of 81 per cent.
The corn growers would get a 80
per cent increase in wages if the rate
were reduced 3 cents; 40 per cent for
cent reduction and 40 per cent if
the reduction were 5 cents.
A reduction Of dollar ton on hay
would mean an increase of 40 per cent
on the hourly return of the grower and
a So decrease would mean an so per
cent advance to him.
Figures Challenged.
Mr.. Peck's figures were challenged
by railroad attorneys, but their cross.

figures.
Cost production figures were pre-.
