Heavy Rains To

HARLINGEN, Nov. 10.-The cit
rus movement out Of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley for the next few days
will be even slower than it has been
for the past week or two, inspectors
and shippers here predicted Satur-
day, in view Of the heavy rain which
soaked the Valley Friday and Friday
night.
II will be impossible to get into
many of the orchards for several
days. and will probably be impossi-
BILE to do any heavy moving for a
week yet.
The shippers see in the change of
weather a possibility Of benefit, in
that the cooler weather may help 10
ripen the fruit, and that the lull in
shipments may improve the fruit in
sugar content and maturity. -

components. During the last year va
rious studies have been made with a
view to establishing such section,
under the Secretary Of War. Our
studies. however. have led in each case
to the conclusion that we could not
establish such section without legis-
lative action.
ut is my opinion that the terms
of the proposed bill are so general in
their character and the authority given
the Secretary Of War to prescribe the
duties of the chief of the Reserve di-
vision so broad that the War Depart
ment can make it operate until ex-
perience shows that changes may be
necessary. l am, therefore, In favor
of the passage Of the bill personally"
Col. H. C. Jones, president of the
Maryland Reserve Officers Association
pointed out that some of the State de-
partments of the association have not
been given an opportunity to impart
their views on the creation of Reserve
division in the War Department, and the
implication was made that the project
has been presented to Congress without
adequate exchange Of opinion SigIiifi-
canoe is attached to the fact that those
who opposed the establishment Of this
division were all Reserve officers. In
addition to Col. Jones. there were: Col.
J. E. w. Profit, Field Artillery Re-
serve; Col r. E. 3. McKenney In
fantry Reserve, and Col. j. H. Ellery,
Medical Reserve. Col. McKenney, who
is a Washington Reserve officer. was
the first national secretary of the asso-
ciation, and served for two terms as
president of the Washington branch of
the association. He has figured prOmi-
nently in Reserve officer affairs for the
past several years and Is very active
in all things pertaining to this civilian
component Of the Army of the United
States.
Assistant Secretary of War Charles
b. Robbins. in commenting upon the
establishment OF the Reserve division,
said that 1.-The Reserve officers feel that
they should have a branch in the Wal
Department that would turn Sympa-
thetic ear to their problems: that 'woulc
make recommendations to the thief ol
staff and through him to the Secretary
of War as to what their ideas are or
these things, and that 1t would co-ordi.
nate ali of these different activities thai
are scattered around in the different
staff sections and bring them under one
head" Referring to the expense in
volved. Secretary Robbins stated thai
there will be some travelling TO be done
undoubtedly. If this is going 10 function
as it should do not think there as
over six or eight officers necessary ir

would be Regular Army officers, who
are already paid. Just as an estimate

would be the actual expense" II ihis
