J m """" T"
Senate Measure Asks Universal
, Military Training Looking
to Reserye Army.
. Washington. Jan. S1.-(U. P.Unl
reroal military training la provided for
la a bill Introduced today by Senator
New. Indiana.
The measure provides:
That all men over IS shall bo subject
to a call for training-.
-That the training period shall not be
longer than a year and that trainlnr
Shall be given in one continuous period.
That following 4 training, men so
trained shall become members of the
national reserve, subject to call in case
ox war.
That training shall be given preferably
to the nineteenth Tear.
That exemptions may be granted for
dependency, in case congress does not
"provide an equivalent.
That a man exempted one year must
continue to register yearly until the
: twenty-sixth year. '
The -president Is empowered to divide
: the country into training sonea or areas
and registration and classification
boards are provided for. The men of
the reserve are. to be classified by ages
and those, ofi the youngest class 1 called
Jrst in case of war.
In a speech In support of the bill New
declared that American people will not
endure any permanent military policy
which smacks of militarism. .For this
reason, . he said, 1 tho 500,000 standing
army proposed by Secretary Baker
should not be authorised.
'Universal military training. New de
clared, frees the country from mili
tarism. "It provides. he said, "the only guar-
; antee against maintenance of a regular
army larger than the country needs or
la willing to support."
Japan's Holding
Of Marianna Isles
Would Be Serious
Washington, Jan. 31. Acquisition by
Japan of. the Marianna group of islands
In the North Pacific, it is maintained
by army authorities here, would be a
Severe blow to the naval prestige of the
United States in the Kast.
TJie result of this acquisition, they
point out, would be dangerous In two
. ways :
First that Japan has now no naval
station in the racific. Hawaii is and
has long been considered the key of that
ocean and was fortified for that pur
pose. t- ' ' ;
J 8econd,: the acquisition would mean
: that Japan would have on one side of
the Philippine islands the strongly for
tified Island of Formosa and on the h
et side the MariarMa group. Such . a
' situation would simply mask the Phil
ippines, if, as is likely, Japan would
proceed to the fortification of the Ma.-,
. rianna group. Nothing, it Is suggested.
Would prevent that, but some agreement
by'the league t nations.

Help yourself and Uncle Sam at the
F.ame time by buyinjrj War Savings
Stamps. ? ;1, .
LJBrwii
Here's the story:
During these past war months it has been extremely difficult to
maintain old-time standards, and we have fought hard to hold to our
"allwool" and "finest-of-tailoringM ideas.
Many times have we refused garments that were not quite up to
our standard of excellence. '
About five weeks ago we attempted to return a lot of 5 1 overcoats
that proved To be not as ordered, but our maker in New York refused
to accept them because "during these war-time conditions no redress
can be obtained from the mills" "all goods sold as are" and "subject
to no guarantees." As a result the coats have just now come back to
us and we are forced to accept them. -
This places us in the unusual position of offering garments with
our guarantee of "all-wool" and "money back if you want it" removed
on thisJ one lot of coats. ,
Consequently we propose to offer such bargains in these overcoats
that not a single garment will remain at closing time Saturday night.
The price will be
$18.50
The sizes are:
4 COATS OF SIZE 36
5 COATS OF SIZE 37
13 COATS OF SIZE 38
9 COATS OF SIZE 39
1 COAT OF SIZE 48
While the average store would sell these garments with no re
luctance, we do not feel justified in offering them to our critical trade
except at bargain prices and with our usual guarantee removed.

PROVE YOU ARE YOU
OR YOU MAY COME
TO
11.8 Persons Could Be Arrested
for Failure to Report Recovery
of Stolen Machines.
Are you one of the 118 persons whose
autos have been stolen and have not
yet reported its discovery to the sheriffs
office? If you are, do not be surprised
or resentful if you are arrested, taken
to the courthouse and made to prove
that you are "you" -and that you did
not steal the car you are driving. Such
may be your fate, if you do not re
port the recovery of your car at once.
In spite of repeated warnings, they
say in the sheriffs office, people whose
cars have been stolen fall to notify the
office when the machine is found. It
is not sufficient to notify the police
department, for that body is riot re
quired to report such things to the
sheriff and frequently while the police
are aware that a stolen automobile has
been returned to the owner, the sheriffs
office is ignorant of it.
According to Traffic Officer Rexford,
out of 140 machines reported stolen, in
only 22 cases was the recovery reported
to the sheriffs office.

Caught in Grip;
Of Milk Famine
t Chicago. Jan.. L N. : S.) Chi
cago was threatened today by a milk
famine as a ' result of the refusal
of distributors to handle milk unless
sold direct to them by the farmer.

the Milk Producers' Corporative Mar
keting company was organised to han
dle all milk produced by members of
the association. - The milk was to
be delivered by the producers to the
marketing company's plant in Chicago,
from where it was to be resold to re
tall distributors.
According to' reports, field agents
of the large retail distributors have
warned the producers that unless they
sold direct instead 'of through the
cooperative company, they, the dis
tributors; would not handle their prod
ucts. The cooperative company, hav
ing no distributing facilities, cannot
retail the milk.
