Then Bremner withdrew $lo leaving a deposit of $50. This was on December 21. On December H, G. D. Ross regis tered at the Hotel Lame in San Fran cisco and remained until December 29.

Six months' training would be required to fit the National Guard organisations for campaigning agulnift the armies of a foreign foe, according to high army officers at the senate foreign affairs committee's session this afternoon. General Mills, member of the army staff who has general supervision over state militia organisations, de clared their main weakness their elec tion of officers. From a collective standpoint they were faulty, too, be cause there are forty-eight different organizations Instead of one. Btaadlar Army Is Weeded. Maintaining that preparedness rr.eana a standing military forc. IJri--- adier General Mucomh of Die war col lege nJnimiaeu the usefulness of the militia and demanded a standing arm-' of 82,000 abroad and Hs.000 at home. H advocated stronger coast de fenses for a number of New Kngland harbors, the mouth of Delaware bay. the California coast and Willapa, Grays Harbor and Puget sound har bors in the northwest. Not only should stronger fortifications be pro vide for these points, he" said, but a mobile standing army should be kept within convenient distance. Settred Officers Should Serve. Another change from present condi tions demanded by Macob wan that retired offwers should be required to serve In some capacity in time of war. Had Von Hindenburg been on the retired list, he said, there would (mvi len no way to put hlni where his ability would count. General Mills suggested enlarging the state milllia Irom Its present to tal of Mr.OOO men and 70u officers to 2.'.0,000 and strengthening It by an insistence that officers must obtain their position by competitive examina tions. Another militia weakness, said Gen eral Mills, was Its confinement In a small district. Seventy-two per cent of the total Is east of rhe Mississippi and 12 per cent on the Pacific coast and MexUan border. Local interest Is so slight In many states that the national government contributed more to the upkeep of the guard tihan did the state, he aaid.

They poirt to the valuable services be ing lendcrcxl the armies now at war by the pigeons in t heir argument to arouse intoreat in the raising and training of the birds. Wonderful Besalts Obtained. "Th wonderful results obtained be pipcons in the war today," said .llmmv Dunn, of ti e club, yesterday, "empha size the fa't that on this coast there Is little being done to arouse Interest in the training of pigeons for military use. On the Atlantic coast a few pi geons are being used, but on this coast they are almost unheard of, except by innmberi of the various pigeon clubs." Mr. Dunn cites from the Racing Pi geon, an Krurlish magazine devoted to handling pigeons, to show the use of the birds by the armies now t the front. "History has proved that the day of the rating pigeon Is not passed for na tional work," rays an editorial. "When the history of the war comes to be written, it will be found that they have played an important part, more impor tant even than we ourselves deemed poFsible. "The following translation from a Germaji paper is some evidence of this: Making- Good la War. "'Carrier pigeons are evidently still rendering the German cause good serv ice. Lieutenant Bolcke, of the Carrier Pigeon division of the agny, has Just ten awarded the Grand Cross of the Royal House of Hohcnzollern'." "In F.ngland pigeons are given by the government to private individuals, and they in turn train them and keep them until the government gets ready to use them. Such a plan might be followed to an advantage in this country. "There is no healthier sport nor any tMri;; better to Interest the young men than the raising and training of pi geons. The cost is very small, while the results obtainable are far-reeehlng. "In the general preparedness pro grnm of this country, the use Of pi geons should not be overlooked. They are invaluable In sending messages be foie telephone, telegraph lines and the wireless are In operation." Park Chief Will Address Rose Club J. O.
