MILITARY SYSTEM General Scott Believes in Real Training for Soldiers DEFENSE ACT LITTLE AID Country Will Never Bc Prepared for Defense Unless Compulsory Service Is Adopted—Favors Drastic Cen- sorship Over War News, Washington, Dec. 8.—The volunteer military system again has proved it- pelf a failure and should be relegated to the past, declares Major General Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff of the army, in his annual report. Basing his conclusions on the showing of the National Guard, when and federalized mobilized for border duty, the fact paigns for that strenuous reeruiting cam- both the regulars and guardsmen have produced negligible | results, General Scott says: “In my judgment the never be prepared for country will defense until we do as other great nations do that interests to gnard, like Ger- Japan and France ,where everybody is ready and does perform military service in time of peace as he tax, and is willing to malke sacrifices for the pro- many, " would pay every other tection he gets and the country gets in return. There is no reason why one woman's son should go out and defend or be trained to defend an- to take training or give service. The only democratic method is for every man in his youth to become trained in order that he may render efficient service if called upon in war.” Defense Act Inadequate. Taking uvp the question of the Na- tional Guard its federal status, General Scott declares the training { period of 75 days in three years pro- | vided by the new national defense act is wholly inadequate. “In my judgment,” he says, ‘it pre- cludes this force from being made fit in for war service until it has received Here is a simple way to make really good dump- lings — light and whole- some—with '\ YZON 10¢, 18c and 35¢ EHE PERFECT BAKING POWDER i have a | given greater training, other woman and her son who refuses | ;| Guard,” the report adds.

Ask your grocer. People could not exist without phos- phate—it is essential in food. RYZON is made with o new and better phoophato. at least six months’ additional train- ing in time of war.” The report reiterates the opinion that it takes a year of intensive train- ing to make a soldier and adds that the country and congress appear to vital misconception of the facts, in this regard. Unless the fed- cralized guard which congress substi- tuted for the citizen volunteer army advocated by the general staff can be General Scoti says, the country faces a serious situation. “And it.is very doubtful,” he con- tinues, “if we will be able to do so {and keep the force recruited. The | difficulty that is now being experi- enced in ohtaining recruits for the regular army and for the ' National Guard in service on the border, , raises sharply the question of wheth- er we will be.able to recruit the troops { authorized in the national defense act.”? ° In spite of the fact that the pre- paredness agitation stimulated inter- est while the effort now being made | to bring the border forces up to war | i strength, General Scott asserts, three months of recruiting left many na- tional guard units still below mini- | mum strength. Every effort was made | to get the men, he says, a house-to- | house canv being conducted in some sections, “The’ failure,” says the report, “should make the whole people real- ize that the volunteer system does not and probably will not give up either the men we need for training in peace or for service in war.” Many Deaf to Call. General Scott gives at length statis- tics on the National Guard mobiliza- | tion available when his report was written September 30. He shows that in eleven states with 16,600 enrolled | guardsmen at the time of the call, | more than ten per cent. failed to re- spond and twenty-nine per cent. of | the remalnder could not pass required | physical tests, making the force for- ty-three per cent. raw recruits when it went to the border. Brought up to war strength, he sa) the force would have been seventy-five per cent. green men and uscless for war purposes for many months. “These flgures probably hold good | for the entire body of the National | An aggregate force of 151,096 offi- cers and men of the guard were mus- tered into the federal service under the call and about 110,957 were on the border 2 month and a half after the call was issued. The general com- mends highly the efficiency of the railroads in handling the mobilization. Turning to recruiting in the regu- lar army, the report says that the service was 29,130 short of its au- | thorized strength on August 31 last. | Between March 15 when congress au- thorized bringing the army up to war strength by adding 20,000 men and August 31, only §,463 additional men | were enrolled. «“It is cause for very sober consid- eration on the part of every citizen of the country, when the fact fully | understood,” General Scott says, “that the units of the National Guard and regular army have not been recruited up to war strength in the crisis we have just passed through.” The report shows that the mobilized National Guard force not only was more than 97,000 below war strength but was more than 4,000 below au- thorized minimum peace strength. Favors New Censorship. General Scott urges a dra sorship law to protect military se- crets in time of war and submits with his approval the draft of a proposed statute drawn by a special board of army and navy officers. It would au- thorize the president to prohibit pub- lication of facts, stic cen- rumors or specula- tions regarding military matters ex- cept when passed by a censor the pen- alty being a fine of not more than $10,000, or imprisonment not to ex- ceed three years or both where a person or officer or agent of a corpor- ation is involved, or a fine of $20,000 where a corporation is involved. The report of Brigadier-General Weaver, chief of coast artillery, which accompanies that of General Scott, GOUGHED NIGHT AND DAY How This Little Orphan Boy Was Cured. We want the people of New Britain to know that all letters like the fol- lowing are truthful and genuine:— Towanda, Pa. “I took a little or- phan boy to live with me and Jast Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very ill and a bad cough set in so that he coughed night and day. After trying everything, nothing seemed to do him any good, until along in February I got a bottle of Vinol. After using half the bottle his cough began to improve, and two bottles entirely cured his bronchitis and he gained in welght so that he doesn’'t look like the same child.” v A. Stephenson, Towanda, Pa. The reason that cough syrups fail in such cases is because they are pallative only, while Vinol removes the cause being a constitutional rem- { edy in which are combined beef and cod liver peptones, iron and man- ganese peptonates and glycerophos- ! phates, It strengthens and revitalizes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease. “The Clark & Brainerd Co., gists; Stores; John J.

Judge Advocate-General Crowder in his report, also made public, reviews desertion records for eight years back to show that the 1916 figure was the |lowest during that time. The true | percentage was 1.81, he says, al- | though the reported figure was 2.4. | The lowest previous record was 1.93 |in 1911. | BEGIN HOT WATER | DRINKING IF YOU i | DONT FEEL RIGHT glass of hot water ‘with phosphate before breakfast washes out poisons.

Method of Estimating Made Close Degree of Accuracy. With Washington, Dec. 6.—The method of estimating the size of the country’s farm crops has been so improved and systematized that the actual produc- tion of important products is now made with a close degree of accur- acy by the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agriculture. Nearly two million schedules are that bureau in making up the gov- ernment monthly crop reports.- About one hundred and sixty names are constantly making personal investigations, one agent covering a state; and 105 clerks are employed in Washington handling the large num- ' ber of réports from the voluntary crop reporters and to keep records of crop information of this and foreign countries. So carefully and systematically has the work been organized that the 1915 cotton crop estimate was only three- tenths of one per cent. less than the amount actually ginned as reported by the census bureau after the close of the season. handled each year by | thousand | | The most compléte record in exist. ence is kept in the bureau of the es! timates and statistics relating to thd world’s crops and live stock.
