Aug. 7. Unless the. term of enlistment la materially reduced, mil itary authorities at Washington are disposed to believe that lecUlatton looklnsr to a substantial Increase in the sis of the land force will be futile. They point to the fact that the Army today Is not recruited to Ita full peace strength, and that recruit ing U steadily becoming- a more diffi cult problem. On this point. !f on no other, military authorities will clash with Represent ative Hay. of Virginia, chairman of the military affairs committee of the Mouse, for Mr. Hajr Is a firm believer In long-term enusimenw albla for the advance, a few years . b. trv fnur veara, At . . w -. ..,.,- Mr. Hay did not j . - -r nlitments: he WVWSfcV - wanted and fouicht for seven-year en listments, and four years wa agreed a as a compromise.

Sheet Teres Deeaaed PraetleaU MIMtary men of broad experience all erree that a two-year enlistment should be the maximum, and many favor a shorter term oa the theory that ft will attract mora men to the Army, and wlU enable the Government to train a vastly greater number of young men than It can hope to train when the enlistment period Is four 'Tieneral Wood, admitted to bo one of tbe moat foreslghted men In tho mil itary service today, has long con tended for short-term enlistments, and has argued that by this means only can the United States build up a re serva worthy of the name. One or two years with the colors will train any man to be a soldier, and once that training haa been acquired men can pass Into private life, but be compe tent for military service In time of need. Representative Hay does not think well of a reserve: he thinks vol unteers can be adequately trained. If war comes, after war haa been de clared, and points to tho Civil War for substantiation. It Is here, most of all. that Mr. Hay la moat likely to embarrasa the Admin istration if It undertakes to secure legislation authorising the creation of an Army reserve. e NEW CHURCH TO OPEN GLADSTONE BAPTISTS TO BATE FIRST SERVICES TODAY. raeter.

COUPLE GOME 1ST Heiress and Her New Husband to Visit on Coast. CHILDHOOD VOW FULFILLED Bridegroom American, as Bride Re solved Years Ago Tliat He W oil Id Be Yonng Woman Is Richest of Her Age In America. CHICAGO. Aug. 7. Somewhere be tween Chicago and the Pacific Ocean Mr. and Mrs. Howard Spaulding are "seeing tho West." They are on a honeymoon tour the details of which were changed at the last moment be cause of a wedding misadventure, and so secret have been their travels since they left Chicago that it Is said here not even their most Intimate friends know their whereabouts. The bride, it Is recalled, made a vow some years ago that she would have none but an American for a husband. Thla was when she was told that, as the nroaoectlve heiress to $30,000,000, sho would be much sought after by the scions of European nobility. It now appears that her patriotism Is being further demonstrated by a "see Amer ica first" honeymoon. Original plana contemplated leaving the United Statea by the way or the Canadian nounaary and making a tour of the Canadian Rockies on the way to tbe Orient. The trip to Japan and China, however. Is said not to have beeh abandoned. It will be made later on. Mrs. Soaulding. it will be recalled. was Miss Katharine Barker until a few days ago. Mr. Spaulding was employed by one of the companies she inherited from her father and of which she is now the sole owner. She is rated at $30,000,000, but under the terms of her father's will no part of the income can bo paid over except on her own written order. The mlaadventure at the wed ding, which was at least partly re sponsible for tbe change of plans, was said to have been due to the accusation by the maid of honor that Spaulding was marrying' Miss Barker for her money. Tbe maid of honor was absent from the bridal procession later on. The couple after the ceremony made a quick change In their plans, to avoid noto riety, and now the fact that they are "somewhere out West' Is all that ia known about them among their society friends here.

EDUCATION NOT ENOUGH Dr. Kellogg Pleads for Creation of Aristocracy of Apolloa and Ve nnses Instead of "Lunatics, Idiots and Paupers." SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. Only by constant selection of the best can any race be improved, said Luther Burbank, the nlant specialist in an address to night before the second National Con ference on Race .Betterment, His sub ject was "Evolution and Variation With the Fundamental Purpose of Sex. Environment and education alone cannot, he said, make appreciable progress In tne Improvement of the race. With favorable surroundings and the selection of the best types, how ever, the field for improvement is limit less. Mr. Burbanlc described the possibili ties In plant life of "fixing characters kt.i. k...fu . K a Bnwl.n thrnurh natural selection, giving the new com binations new abilities to advance. "Abundant, well-balanced nourish ment and thorough culture of plants or animals," he said, "will always pro duce good results In holding any spe cies or variety up to Its best hereditary possibilities, beyond which it cannot carry them, and lacking which maxi mum development can never be re alized. A sharp line must always be drawn between the tranrient results, temporarily attained through favorable environment, and the permanent results of selection of tho best Individuals for continuing the race.- "What would be the result If all ap ple, plum, ; corn, melon or petunia eeed were indiscriminately planted? Soon worthless mongrels only, having no character and no value for any purpose. "Only by constant selection of the best can any race ever be improved. jn -Hnffttlnn nn environment of arly nature can ever make any appreciable progress, even tnougn tnese same ia vorable surroundings may produce, through ages, a definite but infinitely slow Increment, which by constant rep etition becomes slowly available In heredity, but by no means fixed, so that reproduction true to the better type can be depended on." Real Aristocracy Wanted. "The world needs a new aristocracy a real aristocracy made up of Apollos and Venuses and their fortunate progeny" said Dr. J. H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, Mlch In an address to night on "Tho Eugenics Registry," be fore the second National Conference on Race Betterment. "Instead of such an aristocracy." Dr. Kellogg continued, "we are actually building up an aristocracy of lunatics, idiots, paupers and criminals. These unfit persons already have reached the proportions of a vast multitude 500, 000 lunatics, 80,000 criminals. 100,000 paupers. 90,000 idiots, 90.000 epileptics, and we are supporting these defectives In idleness, like real aristocrats, at an expense of $100,000,000 a year. This mighty host of mental and moral crip ples is increasingly due to unrestricted marriage and other degenerative influ- fttniri rnte than the sounder part of the population, so that they are bound in lime 10 comuiuw the majority unless some check Is put upon the Increase." Dr. Kellogg proposed a "scheme for v.tt.rm.nt " which he thought should be set in operation as speedily as possible. This inciuoea ine estab lishment of a "health registry," on whixh hnntd bn recorded the results of an annual health inspection of In dividuals made by a Dureau mainmineu by the state for the purpose, and of a "eugenics registry" to accomplish In behalf of race hygiene "what the health registry would seek to do for personal health." "A eugenics registry," he said, "would be the beginning of a new and glori fied human race, which sometime, far down in the future, will have so mas tered the forces of nature that disease and degeneracy -will have been elim i..t.H t r n .ti f t n 1 .nH nrlfioners will be no longer needed, and the golden aire will have been rcstorrea as tne T AM showing, at special prices, some of the new Fall models for men.
