e e SN S— A A AT AW OPPOSES PROBE /AR STRENGTH Senator Weeks Sees No Bene- fit in Publicity. . WOULD REORGANIZE ARMY Is Against an Increase in Standing Force, but Favors Establishment of Reserve Corps to Supply Trained 8oldiers When Needed: ‘Washington, Dec. 132.—Declaring that there has been too much publicity of military affairs of the nation Sena- tor Weeks of Massachusetts, in a speech in the senate, opposed agita- tlon for special investigation of mili- tary preparedness, praised the strength and personnel of the navy and urged the organization of an army Teserve. “At this time,” he said, “it does not seem to me that it is wise or prudent to take any action which will change our policy or add to our naval equip- ment except by an omnibus appropria- tion - which can be expended under the direction of the general board - of the navy, with the approval. of the secretary of the navy and the presi- dent. Based on the experience of the post our naval establishment is in a olass with that of Germany and ‘France, and probably second omly to that of Great Britain.” Senator Weeks maintained that the army is insufficient and proposed its reorganization, not for the purpose of Inoreasing the permanent active army, but for the organization of a reserve eorps which would make avalilable large forces of trained soldiers at all times. For Reserve System. ¥ Through a reserve system Senmator ‘Weeks maintained that a much larger trained army could be maintained at less expense than a permanent stand- Ing army now. “I believe,” said the senator, “that laws should be passed at once which will reorganize the regular army. This reorganization should give to the mobile army the proper proportion of infantry, field artillery, cavalry, en- gineers, signal, sanitary troops, the needed ammunition and supply trains and provide for properly equipped de- Pots. ¢ “The law must provide that the men serve the shortest time with the col- ors necessary to train them as sol- ordiers, and then pass them as soon as ~trained to a reserve, and that while serving in this reserve the men must be paid. Make the enlistment age eighteen to twenty-one years with consent of parents and twenty-five years as limit for first enlistment.” In addition to the national reserve force Senator Weeks would have a similar reserve organized under the state militia. Severe Head Pains Caused By Catarrh Cured By Perunaza I Feel It a Duty to Mankind to Let All Know of My Cure. Peruna Did It. Mr. W. H. Chaney, R. F. D. Sutherlin, Pittsylvania Co.,, Va.,, writes: “For the past twelve months I have been a sufferer from catarrh of the head. Since taking four bot- tles of your Peruna I feel like a different person altogether. The se- vere pains in my head have disap- peared, and my entire system has been greatly strengthened. “This is my first testimonial to the curative qualities of any patent medicine. I feel it a duty to man- . kind to let them know of Peruna. In my estimatlon it is the greatest medicine on earth for catarrh.” ‘We have thousands of testimonials like Mr. Chaney’s. Some of them were cured after vears of suffering and disappointment in finding a remedy. Send for free copy of “Ills of Life.” The Peruna Co., Columbus, Ohio.

OUTER DEFENSES Begin Offensive Along Three Hun- dred-Mile Front. Paris, Dec. 1 .—The allies’ advance is now under way. The Germans are being pushed back foot by foot and the outer defenses of the French and British troops are being extended along the whole 300-mile battle line. In anticipation of a possible counter attack by the Germans every new po- sition taken by the allies is being doubly strengthened. Every inch of ground gained must be held at all costs, is evidently the order of Gen- erals French and Joffre. The French artillery is giving ex- cellent support to the infantry, not only in the advance but in holding the Germans in check while the méw positions occupied are being made se- cure against attack. Brisk fighting continues in the vi- cinity of Ypres and along the entire line from Lille to Ypres. 1t is reported the allies have taken full possession of Dixmude. This po- sition has changed hands repeatedly and as it is in the midst of the inun- dated section great importance is not attached to it as a military position. MUST NOT FORCE SUFFRAGE Is One for States to Decde. Washington, Dec. 1 .—President Wilson was asked again to endorse a constitutional amendment for woman suffrage and reiterated that the ques- tion was one for the states. Miss Anne Martin, president of the Nevada Suffrage association, was in- troduced to the president by Senator Pittman. The president congratulated Miss Martin cn the success of the cause in| her state and declared that was the way to bring about woman suffrage. He said that no locality should have such a question forced upon it. ok ok TROOPS REVOLT ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Geneva, Dec. 1'.—The cor- respondent of the Journal de Geneve at Prague states that confirmation has been received there that Czech regiments No. 28, from Prague, No. 108, from Brusau, No. 11, from Paszika, and the Eighth landwehr of Prague, which were serving. against Servia, revolted on the battlefield. The news, accord- ing to the correspondent, has created a deep impression in Vienna. B e e i e e e e i i a0 s aaie o o R R e R Kills Child; Wounds Himself.

Paris, Dec. 12—Fighting over roads heavy with mud and through patehes of bushes which have been turned into swamps through the heavy rains the French and British lines are ad- vancing yard by yard. The forward movement of the allied troops is literally measured by yards, in an official statement covering a period of operations up to Dec. 7. The infantry gain, however, extended from the coast and clear across Northern France into Alsace. The Germans are reported to have evacuated Rou- lers, and Thielt may also be abandon- ed. Persistent advancing of the British along the railroad from Ypres to Roulers has forced this action upon the Germans.
