While there is no prospect that serv-
ice legislation of any kind will be con-
sidered during the present extra session
OF Congress, some consideration is

authorizing an increase in the Army

proposal follows closely the recon-
mendations made for several years by
Maj. Gen. Merritte w. Ireland, Surgeon
General of the Army, which would give
the Medical Department of the Regular

JESSE JAMES SHAMED BY MODERN RUSTLERS
Efficiency Comes to Cattle 1hie.ins Stock Is Slaughtered and
 Beef Removed in Trutks.

Helena. Mont. March 19 P>-FH'- ficicncy and invention have put cat tic rustling on production basis.
 Charles NJ. Dowlin, president of the Montana Livestock association says losses from stolen cattle are twice as great as when the range was open and ruslers depended upon the night and fast horses. The modern cattle thief butchers the animals where he finds them in the pasture and hauls the beef away in motor trucks. JIe has no trouble in disposng of his loot among street peddlers an destablished dealers.
 Dowlin, also a state senator from Rosebud, recommends close inspec- ton of hides, heavier penalties for stock theft and tax on stockmen to finance investigation and prosecu- ton of rustlers.

At g joint meeting of the citizens hoard at the town hall last night 1t was voted to accept the original proposition of the school board for the new junior high school building to be erected in kcnsington at the cost of Sl30,0o0. This proposition will be voted upon at the town meet ing 10 be held on Friday night al the town hall
 The citizens committee has held three meetings with the school com- mittee. and the needs of the school have been discussed from every pos sible angle. On last Monday evening the state supervisor of secondary schools addressed the meeting and answered numerous questions in re- gard to the school proposition.
 Pardon C. Hickey prepared let ter to the school committee and the citizens committee, of which he IS q member. The letter read last night sums up the problems of the coin- mittee and is as follows:
 "The more one studies the subject. the more evident if appears that the plan recently turned down is sound and needed if the town of Berlin de- sires to take care of the growing needs of its young people.
 nile the proposed location on the "Alling" land may be block or SO off the center of school pop,la- ton, it seems to be the only avail able tract of land large enough to justify the erection of modern junior high school building. and it mas enough adjoining land 10 take care Of all the activities and future growth.
 An addition misht-bc made 10 the present kensinston Grammar school at less cost, but many voters agree that this would not be for the best 'ntert sts of the pupils and eventual 1v would be costly to the health Of the pupils, as we'll as 10 the tax payers pocketbook. It could not tc made 10 provide as good facilities for caring for the pupils and would center in one place more pupils than the available grounds would take Care Of.
 When one understands that the "Aling' site plan would give Berlin most complete and efficient build ing and equipment. such as the state board of education are trying to de- velop all over the state and that the difference in cost between such fine equipment and patched up job on ,he old grammar school is less than sl.O0 in taxes each year on each BLOOD dollars Of assessed value. one should hesitate and think carefully tefore turning down the plan of building recommended by the school Committee-a committee named by the voters of Berlin 10 whom is delegated the responsibility of pro- viding adequate sanitary and helpful facilities for the training Of our children-a plan growing out of months. yes years of detailed study Of school needs-by said committee.

criticize the dictatorship, publicly or
in the privacy of societies, and inaugu-
rating powers of immediate imprison-
ment and heavy fines.
This last step was followed by a
statement by Gen. de Rivera IN LIE

he justified his orders to the Patriotic
Union and the "Somatenes." or Citi-
zens' Armed Guard, urging them to ex-
ercise personal violence If necessary

gime MY order should surprise no

already accomplished the most difficult
part of its mission, but the most delicate
part of browning its work by assuring
its permanence must still be done. l
am not disposed to tolerate being ruined
by unscrupulous enemies" He added
that there was nothing shameful In the
denunciation of TRAITORS" and "un-
scrupulouS plotters "
Sudden Change Significant.
Here is truly the voice of a new
ruler and a new regime in Spain. 1t is
not what Spain has heard since Primo
de Rivera came to power in September,
1928. But why this sudden change in
man who has been Europe's most
amiable dictator? Why this swift and
melodramatic tightening of the reins?
Why, especially, if this latest revolt was
but the flash in the pan which the
Madrid government contends it was?
Not only the dictator's opponents, but
those who have long been neutral find
only one answer to these questions.
They declare that Gen. de Rivera
at last recognizes that his power is
crumbling, They point to the Valencia
attempt as involving some two-thirds
of Spain. They insist that the time
has now come when Primo cannot
count absolutely on the united support
of a single unit in the army; that
every branch Of service is vitiated with
those opposing his regime. And they
say this last uprising involved. beyond
question. such unprecedented strength

elements" involved did "not amount to
900 persons in the entire country. "
Nevertheless. the testimony of con-
sentative citizens in Madrid. the gov
ernment's stronghold. agrees that SPANS
latest revolt greatly exceeded all pre-
vious threats to the dictatorship. That
its ramifications extended to almost
every part of the Spanish peninsula
and into at least 81 of the country's
d provinces. And in Barcelona alone.
the Herald Tribune was reliably inform
ed. fully $4,000 men stood ready to join
the rebellion had Valencia's troops re-
yolted ON schedule time.
New Decree Is Confession.
II further confirmation OF the wide
spread unrest in Spain was needed. the
De Rivera government itself has sup
piled the proof. Until a few weeks ago
the dictatorship had been as banevo-
lent as it is possible for any dictator
ship to be. It had been entirely In
keeping with the Enthusiastically amia-
BILE character of Gen. Primo de Rivera
himself, who is a man-although SOL
der by Observation-Disclosures averse
to violence if it can be avoided. Neither
in De Rivera's presence nor In his
face does one find the iron-flsted mood
of Mussolini.
Perhaps for that very reason SPANS
dictator has remained in power as long
as he has. But since Ciudad Real his
mood and methods have changed. COM
pletely. Within few weeks time his
regime has been fascistiZed. First, a
decree thoroughly throttling the Span
ish press. Second. the institution of a
special court of military judges having
jurisdiction throughout the country and
sweeping powers of investigation and
condemnation Third assumption by
the government of the right to sus-
pend the salaries of all civil employees,
to dismiss them summarily and even
to exile any whose oTenses or contrary
political views make 1t appear expe-
dent. Fourth. the decree of Saturday,
February 9. which makes it crime to

cradle time yet, Is actually at grips for
its existence. This struggle. 1t Is true is
entirely beneath the surface to the casual
tourist or traveller. 1t is none the less
real Spain may appear completely
tranquil for many months yet. but the
artificiality of its calm may be demon
strated at any moment.
You will not find well-informed peo-
pie here who will predict confidently the
fall of Primo de Rivera in any given
number of months. With more logic
they declare merely that Primo's rule
Is on the wane, while the forces aligned
against him are daily increasing and
week by week becoming more solidified.
If their judgment means anything-and
1t is by no means casual Judgment
it indicates that the De Rivera regime
may last a month or more or a year
or more, but that. in any case, the
longer it lasts the weaker it is destined
to become.
On all sides the question, How mitch
longer will the dictatorship endure?"
is answered slowly and with discretion.
Usually there are lugubrious holdings
of the head which amount to saying.
You never can tell. but I wouldn't be

surprised at anything that might hap
pen." asked one Of the most expert
enced and conservative observers in
Madrid whether he believed Primo
would last six months or year. His
answer was this:
He might last that long-but I
wouldn't be surprised if he fell in two
weeks"
He added that the Spanish people
could be led long way. but history
proved that they Immediately resented
being driven. And the new regime un-
red Primo de Rivera is driving" one

and scope that It was the handwriting
on the wall to the present dictatorship.
In summation. they declare that the
government can hardly Withstand one
or two more such plots against 1t.
Thus one finds a wide section of
Spanish opinion which insists that
Primo de Rivera inwardly knows all
these things to be true and however
much he may seek to minimize the
seriousness of the present situation in
Spain his drastic introduction of Fas-
cism merely proves the extent to which
the government is perturbed II there
was no plot worth talking about, they
say with considerable logic, why then
has the dictator feverishly swept away
the peoples most elemental liberties in
the excuse of defending the regime?
1t appears self-evident that the die
tatorship hasn't been frightened by a
shadow and those who know Spain best
state simply that the end of Primo's
regime is approaching.
AS consequence of the new ttirn OF
events here it appears perfectly justi-
