A most important matte welfare of the country General Bells says, is the passage of a com hensive meas- ure for the organization of a volunteer army to be raleed only after congress has made a declaration of war. “Such a measur: says General Bell, “would not cost a dollar in time of peace, but would be of great value if the coun- try ever engages in another war. The passage of such legislation will permit of the preparation in peace of all the necessary plans for the organization, equipment and supplies of such a force, and the selection of places for mobili- zation. Without the necessary legislation all such matters must be deferred.” Taft Lays Down ZELAYA STATEMENTS TIME NOW TO THINK SERIOUSLY Interview Given Out by President of Nicaragua is Analyzea by State Department Ofticinls, Mothers and Home Makers Most Pows Alds to Eduento ing Household Economics Taught in Schools. in Laws Recommended Enable Him .and Men Who Wrongfully Hold Parts of Pablic Domain, | Changes erful % in Have to De: 11.~A staff corre- ‘gl Assoclated Press, who re. here has canvassed the and finds it less hopeful for the gents than had been belleved ral Estrada s greatly disturbea and has appealed to United States Consul Mof- fatt for bluefackets from the crulser Des Molnes to protect Americans.
