said that nearly 10000 additional
Artillery officers would be needed, at
a conservative estimate, in the event
OF a major war emergency. The
present Reserve Corps enrolment of
artillery officers is 1889.
'It is at once apparent that every
effort should be made to increase the
strength of this component" Gen.
Snow added, saying that to accom-
plish this the full quota of regular
instructors should be maintained with
Field Artillery units of the reserve.
During the World War the regular
Field Artillery was expanded from a
force of 2IJ officers and 5,253 men to
strength of more $4,000 officers and
nearly 500.O00 men. exclusive of thou

We should be happy if Mr. Butler or any, one else could get all of the extreme conservatives and reactionaries into one camp, but of course that cannot be done.

UNDERWOOD PRAISES
 ADDRESS BY DAVIS
Former Candidate Comments Accept ancc Statement By Democratic
 Nominee.

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 12.-Praise
 of John w. Davis address, accepting
 the democratic nomination for presi- l dent, is given by Senator Oscar w. | Underwood, one of MT. Davis oppon-
 nets for nomination. in a statement today.
 "Mr. Davis, In his speech of accept ance, rings true to the fundamental principles of the democratic party" the statement said. He points out the tendency of our times, in government and in business to foster monopolistic control and destroy individual oppor- tunity to develop the countrys great natural resources and often place un- due burdens on the consuming masses.
 He pledges himself anew to the time-honored principle of our party that no man shall enjoy a special privilege and that equal opportunity shall be the heritage of all. He chal- lenges the record of the republican party as to its enacted legislation that levies taxes at the customs house to foster special interests rather than to supply the needs of the public trea- sury.
 He does not name the K K. K, but his discussion of the plank in the democratic platform re-affirming our belief in the constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and his consid- eration of efforts to arouse racial and religious dissension in this country is so clearly and forcefully stated that no man who reads can doubt the ob- ject that he aimed at.
 His words accepting the nomina- tion of the democratic party or presi- dent are worthy of the leader of great party and give the challenge that will herald his cause to victory"
