OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash

DcDirtmcrit havlnsr a taste lor niston

tween conditions of the present time
and as they were before the Mexican
war of the '10s. They have found that
history repeats itseir, ana that, allow
ing for the advance which has been
made in matters of transportation and
communication, the situation now and
before hostilities of 1846 is much the
fmTnf
They also find that the parallel in
regard to preparation for war is car
ried out. ax a Navy strong enough to
take care of every Mexican seaport is
available now, as then, while a moDiie
army, an actual fighting force of in
fantry and field artillery, is not de
veloped so as to meet the emergency,
if it should come. The Army, such as
it is, will be ready at once, but, as for
a second line and reinforcements, mucn
tlm will be reauired for organization,
drill and makinsr them an effective
force.

Both people and

prepared for the
events which soon
followed.
Lack of Preparation Cowtly,
The War Department historians have
gone further and briefly griven tne
principal events of the war witn
Mexico, showing that the first battle a
Palo Alto was fought May 8, 1846
That same month Congress was called
on by the President to make provision
for the war with Mexico. Anything
like an adequate force would have set
tied the contest speedily, but then, as
now, there was no such adequate force
available. The first battle was fough
with 2288 men. Before the war was
ended, early in 1S4S, there was a total
of 104,284 United States troops en
gaged, of which 31,024 were regulars,
12,601 militia and 60.659 volunteers. The
total cost of war for the Army was
$88,500,208.
If there should be a war with
Mexico," said an Army officer, "hls-
ory would continue to repeat Itself in
regard to the management of the war,
ust as we find parallels in the events
which lead up to hostile demonstra
tions. The history of that war shows
how the United States suffered by lack
of preparation, both with regard to loss
of life and heavily increased -expenses.
The raw troops were not fit for service,
and it took a long time to drill and
equip them. It takes a longer time
now to make a soldier than it did in
those days. We will, no doubt, see,
whenever we go to war, the soldiers of
the Regular Army standing the brunt
of battle and their ranks devastated,
while we organize, drill and equip vol
unteers. It will be the same old story
of extensive loss of life and Immense
expense because we have not taken the
precaution to prepare lor just -such
emergencies

CHEHALIS, Wash., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Construction of a hard-surface
road between the twin cities of Che
halls and . Centralia may be realized
during the year 1914, if plans dis
cussed informally by the Lewis County
Commissioners are carried out. The
work will fall to County Commissioner
Long, of the Second or Chehalls dis
trict, and Commissioner Teachnor, of
the First or Centralia district. The
money to be spent will be permanent
highway-fund tax, the amount that will!
be available being J30.000.
Commissioner Teachnor has arranged
to spend $12,000 on construction of a
concrete roadway from the Centralia
city limits to the Southwest Washing
ton Fairgrounds. Commissioner Long
has about $18,000 to spend, which he
has planned to put on the roadway ex
tending southeast of the City of Che
halis. an extension of the present hard
surface pavement, which is completed
five miles out from the business center
of the town.
Mr. Long's plan was to widen the
grade for the permanent roadway De-
tween Chehalis and Centralia next year
and lay the hard-surface roadway the
year following, thus giving the grade
time to settle permanently during the
Winter. However, It may be that this
plan will be changed and connection
of the two cities with a permanent
pavement be made next season.
Commissioner Long figures that he
can complete his part of the hard
surface roadway between the two
cities and still have ample funds left
with which to build S10.000 of exten
sion on the paved roadway southeast
of Chehalis. In the Third district. Com
missioner Gray will build two miles of
hard-surface pavement from Toledo
toward Chehalis, on the route of the
Pacific Highway, next year, the money
having been set aside for the purpose,
and all arrangements made to push the
work early.
Owing to questions having arisen as
to the final route to be traveled by the
Pacific Highway from Toledo to the
Cowlitz County line, the State High
way Commission has abandoned the
Idea of spending any money this year
on that portion of the roadway for
which they had set aside S20.000.
Three possible routes are under final
consideration. The one first selected
crosses the Cowlitz River at Toledo on
the old Lewis County bridge. The sec
ond route would lead down the north
or west side of the Cowlitz River from
Toledo to the old ferry site. The third
route would lead along the same course,
but the crossing of the Cowlitz would
be made where the old railroad bridge
was abandoned by the Northern Pa
cific.
The Lewis County Commissioners
have arranged for connection of the
county road with the new Cowlitz
River bridge to be built at once at
-Neslka, 2.43 miles of new roadway be
ing required to make the same.

Residents of Fairfield and Soldier
Fight for Possession of Baptist
Place of Worship.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 20. (Special.)
Conflict that threatened, to disrupt the
peace and dignity of both towns and
cause a wide breach between their re
spective citizens reached a high pitch
today in Soldier and Fairfield, Central
Idaho, when Rev. Max Reinhardt, of
Fairfield, was arrested for stealing the
Baptist Church in Soldier. The Bap
tist denomination built a church in
Soldier several years ago, which was
deeded to the society, and as there Is
no churchhouse in Fairfield, Rev. Mr.
Reinhardt was authorized to remove
the building to Fairfield, which is only
a mile and a half from Soldier.
There has been a lively fight waged
to prevent the removal of the church
to the railroad town at Fairfield and
when thfe building was being stripped
for removal some of the Soldier citi
zens made out a deed to the property
to one of the local merchants in Sol
dier, who promptly had Mr. Reinhardt
arrested, alleging that the house was
his and that the church authorities
could not remove it.
The Baptist Association asserts that
it has a good and sufficient deed to
the property executed in 1894. Feeling
runs high and Mr. Reinhardt's trial is
to come up before a Justice of the
Peace in Soldier.
