I UKILL uuHtUUlt , FORCOMPANY M Higher Efficiency Is Now Re quired From National -Guard With the rapid advancement made in the military science, cornea the higher efficiency required of the privates as well as officers. The days are past when about all that was required of a private was that of making a creditable display on dress occasions. A schedule of drills has been sent to I Company SI, which, beginning with No ! vcmber 2't, is a speciaP series of mili i tary instruction wherein one night is ; devoted to each man" for instruction in ; certain subjects. It is, noccssary for I euch private to be present five consecu i tive nights to get this very important course. I On the evening of Tuesday, Novem ber 23, just to add to the efficiency of tho compnny, the first 15 minutes of the evening will be given to close drill, followed by bayonet exorcise of 15 min utes. The next hour is in squad drill as follows: - First squad Honors, courtesies, uni-i forniB, equipment, rations. Second squad Mechanism, nomencla ture, and care of rifles. Third sqund Tent pitching and mak ing of blanket rolls. Fourth squad Sighting aid position and aiming drill. Deflection and eleva tion correction drill. . Fifth squml First aid, personal hy giene, care of feet, camp sanitation. On the evening of Tuesday, Novem ber 30, tho company will take up close order drill for 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes of bayonet exercise. Then each squad will be taken on a different line of work from thut of the former drill evening. By the close of the drill ct December 21, each member will have had personal inspection on the five spe eiul points of squad work. . Quarterly inspection will be held Tuesday evon- ing, December 28. WAITING FOB STEEL BAILS. As soon as the Southern Pacific sup plies railB for the extension of the spur to the property of the Oregon Port land Cenieut company, near this city, the remaining mile ot track will be laid, the limestone quarry opened and rock shipped to tho nig plant at Oswo go. Tho four miles of track from tho main line of the Southern Pacific sev en miles below Hosoburg is also wait ing for steel, or rather tho greater pnrt of it. Over three miles there has been graded, and tho remaining mile will be completed within a short time. Engineer S. B. Taylor, who is in charge of the work, both here and at Roseburg, returned on Friday from the latter place with good reports of the progress being made. According to this authority the cement company hopes to have everything in readiness to begin operations at Oswego the latter part of February, and with this end in view is rushing its outside work with all possiblo speed. Thomas Fitzgerald, who was in charge oi local operations, has completed track laying at the plant at Oswego, and is now at Rose burg awaiting tho arrival of steel lor track laying, there. When Mr. Taylor left Kosebiiror there were forty work men engaged in grading. Dallas Ob server. Don't make Junk of It, if use- til try a Journal New Today. n U H II II tl II 11 n ii n ii ii u !!

Dia dead in exile: Madero assassinated; Huerta exiled and under arrest; Villa an outlaw, and Carranza heading a "de facto" unestabliBhed government, with civu war still raging. rnis is tne record ot live years in Mexico, a nation prostrate today under fire, sword ami famine. It is the record of a struggle for a real republican gov ernment, a real democracy, a republic in form and substance, a struggle of mo masses against tne classes. Behind the curtain of arms on the stage of battlefields is the long stifled cry for land. The effort of Mexico's peons to own land and prevent exploi tation and graft, both by thoir own and foreign citizens, are the underly ing causes of what now promises to be- some in Mexican history the "Five Years' War." The fight divides into three eras: Those of Diar, Madero, Huerta. its im mediate future rests with Carranza. Peace, but not liberty or equal individ ual opportunity, reigned under Diaz for a generation. As president and dic tator the "Iron Man" was in' power from 1884 to 1910. As a military idol on a platform of freedom and land dis tribution, Diaz led a revolution in 175 ugainst President Tejnda. He was elect ed president in 18(7, retiring in 18111 in lavor of Manuel (ionsnlcz, being re elected in 1884 and serving until forced to abdicate in 1910. Diaz was the ex ponent of special privilege. Ho held his office with ruthless military force. Graft flourised among his subordinates and wealthy, educated Mexicans sup ported nun. foreign concessionaires thrived. Land barons extended their holdings. The poorer classes were slaves unable to rent or buy land. I'n precedonted Mexican development fol iowcci ror mo wealthy. Peace pre vailed. Tiien came decay, with age, of Diaz' power. Outcry against the wealthy, landed and educated classes increased. Iho peons demanded distribution of government land, relief from confisca tory taxes and a voice in elections. Sol dicrs presided over the polls, insuring Diaz' continued re-election. Wealthy and powerful private citizens, civil authorities and military heads failed to stem mo tiae ot revolution. The Madero movement was born 1909. Frauciscn 1. Madero. of a weal thy family of northern ranchers, Jed a new revolution. no promised social and economic reforms, including di vision ot government lands and cancel lation by the government of land pat cnts given tho cicntificos foreign ex ploitation of Mexico he also promised to enii. Aiding Madero was his brother, Gus tav, and Pasquale Orozco. They organ ized a revolutionary army in Sonora, It soon seized Juarez and swent south ward,, reinforces by revolutionists from ihihnuhau and other northern states, tho hotbed of revolutionary activity. Historians differ as to whether Pan- clio villa, later to becomo a popular hero, enlisted in the Mudcro movement. Certain i'oreign mine, oil and ranch concessionaries supported Madero. Oth ers supported Diaa, whose power weak ened with age, his army honeycombed with treachery and desertion. Dinz resigned and tied to Paris, where he died last summer. Francisco Madero. was elected to the presidency in 1910. Can Carranza Do It? Has Carranza the strength and pur pose that Madero lacked, to enforce re forms, particularly agrarian, which Madero failed to establish f This is the question asked in world diplomatic? circles today. Mexican af fairs observers point to the brief peace ful reign of Madero na possibly signifi cant. After his election in 1910 Madero sought reform laws including the divis ion of land among the peons. He failed. Discontent followed. Criticism became active opposition. Nepotism is said to have weakened Madero 'a power. Graft ngain held sway. Amidst the clamor against Madero, Oen. Victoriano Huerta, Madero 's min ister of war, is alleged to have con ceived his overthrow. Felix Diaz, a nophew of the former dictator, and (ten. Hoycs wero called Huerta 's cocon spirators. Tho storm agninst Madero broke on Februury 9, 1913. The Mexico City garrison, controlled bv Huerta. revolt ed. The capital was the battleground. Cannon ruked the streets. Rioting and pillnge, arson ami murder, reigned. j no arrest of .Madero followed Feb ruary 18. Under threats of assassina tion ho resigned next day. Under the Mexican constitution, Pedro Laseuriun, Mudoro's minister of foreign affairs, boenme president for an hour. In that hour Jjascurian appointed Huerta for eign minister, then resigned. Huerta, by succession, hecnnie president. Forty-eight hours later Madero and Juarez wero dead. On the night of Fehrwiry 23 they were taken from a enrriaco while en route from one prison to another and shot down by soldiers. Lieut. Francisco Cnrdenns in said to TheT-poirrt jjum WPPBRMINT-IN RED WHAPPtB CINNAMON INBUEWCWFCII i! ff xxx Years of Devastating War have been commander of the firing squad. He later fled and is today re ported exiled in Guatemala. Upon Madero 's death, Huerta urged all state governors to remain loyal. He ftlnft Homnndpd IT ft vannnnitinn f,nm President Taft. Before the latter had need to decide, his term ended, l To avenge Madero 's assassination and restore constitutional government, the present constitutionalist revolution was organized, culminating in the re cent recognition of the Carranza gov ernment. Oen. Venustiano Carranza was Ma dero 's governor of Coahuila, a well to do rancher. Pancho Villa was then a bandit in the Sonora' mountains. On March 26 Carranza was proclaimed tho "First Chief" of the constitutionalist revolt, at a conference of revolutionists at Guadalupe, Coahuila. Tho famous "Plan of Guadalupe" was there born, pledging the constitutionalists to avenge Madero 's death and place a con stitutional successor in tho president's chair. Land and othor reforms were pledged. Numerous and wealthy relatives of Madero supported Carranza 's revolt. Northern Mexico united to recruit Car raaza's army. From Sonora Pancho Villa stepped out upon the stage of Mexican politics. Ho and his outlaws enlisted under Carranza. Villa was appointed a general of the division of the north. Goneral Alvaro Obregon was head of tho northwestern corps. In a spectacular campaign, Vil la headed captures of Juarez, Chihua hua and finally Torreon. one of the bloodiest battles. Afterwards Zacateuas fell. During 1913-14 the constitution-1 nlitjts fought almost to Aguas Calientes. Meantime President Wilson had re fused Huerta recognition. In several messages to congress, the first only S days after his inauguration, tho presi dent declared "Huerta must go." Huertn's downfall was forecasted by the president's proclamation raising the embargo on arms in favor of tho revo lutionists. Huerta had been recognized by Knglnnd, Spain, Franco, Austria, Japan anil other countries. On October 10, 1913, Huerta sus pended the Mexican congress, arrested 111, or half of tho mouthers. There were reports that many were assassin ated. With the Carriinzistas pressing upon Mexico City, the "Tnmpico inci dent" occurred April 9, 1914, whon Am erican bluejackets were arrested bv Huerta 's orders. Demands bv Admiral Alttyo tor a salute to tho flag in repnra tiou, was swiftly followed bv tho ex peditionary landing April 21 at Vera Cruz, with fighting ill which 21 Ameri cans were killed. The army commanded by General lunstoti took possession. President Wilson then cnlled the A B. 0. Mexican pence conference at Ni agara. Fulls April 2"t. Huerta sent del egntcs. larranza ret used otticial par ticipation or nn armistice. No tangible results toward pncuication wero at tained by the congress. Capitulating to the force of this gov ernment s insistence upon his retire meiit, Huerta, after a farcical oloction ns president in July, 1914, resigned jtiiy lo ana went to Paris.
