REORGANIZATION

SECRETARY FAVORS PROPOSAL
New Adjustment to Mere Economical
Basis For Peace Time Develop
ment Proposed.
Washington. Reorganization of the
National Guard on a more economical !
basis for its peace-time development'
is being given serious consideration i
by members of the house sub-commit-!
toe on military appropriations and by j
war department 6fficials. Suggestions '
already have been made that the maxl-
mum strength allowed by law be de-i
creased from 800 men per senator and
representative to 450 or 500, making1
O Varli.fif In 4nn nMiinnl.iillt.'n .

thorized peace strength of about 135
000 men.
' In a letter to Representative An
thony, Kansas, chairman of the house
sub-committee on military appropria
tions, which W8.H made public recent
ly, Secretary Weeks polnd out two
methods by which a new adjustment
of the national guard might be accom
plished. The first . would be to limit
the strength and development by lim
iting appropriations and the second
would prescribe "a more reasonable
requirement as to the proscribed
peace strength."
"In ray opinion," Secretary Weeks
said, "the latter is the fairest and
best; moreover, it is due to both the
National Ouard and to the War Depart
ment to know where they stand. In
view of the fact that the present waf
strength was fixed solely by Congress,
and being fearful of being misunder
stood by the Nutlonal Guard, I hesi
tate to make any definite recommen
dations."
Regarding the possible reduction In
strength, the secretary added, "the
suggestion has been made from Na
tional Guard sources that a peace-time
strength of 250.000, or 450 or 500 pel
senator and representative, would be
adequate at the present time.
"This strength," the war "secretary
continued, "would pormlt of the com
pletion of the 18 infantry divisions, a
proper proportion qf cavalry troops,
the coast artillery companies and cei
tain independent Infantry and special
troop un!t3 which are essential and
necessary. I consider the 18 Infantry
divisions, the keystone of the structure
and, in my opinion, nothing should
be done which would interfere with
their completion. It Is possible that
certain auxiliary units which are in
cluded in the division could b with
drawn, such as the air squadron and
the tank company, in those cases
whore tho state will have difficulty in
maintaining units of this character."
Questionnaires already have been
sent by the War Department to the
commanding generals of all regular
army corps areas and by the militia
bureau to the state adjutants general,
requesting the views on a new reor
ganisation of the national guard.
All these communications point
out that the "economic conditions con
fronting the government and the
states make it expedient to consider
a modification of the allotment of the
troops of the national guard to the
states."

hours later an aeronaut, teaplng from
a balloon 1,500 feet in the air, was
killed when his parachute failed te

Lieutenant Maynard and his com
panions, who had been making daily
flights at the fair grounds, crashed,
about 1 o'clock. In a field nonr the
grounds. Hardly had the crowd re
covered from the shock and thrill of
this tragedy when the second accident
came. Smith, a professional aero
naut, had already made two success
ful parachute leaps at various alti
tudes. On the third attempt the par
achute was seen to open, slightly and
then close up tightly. The aeronaut
dropped like a plummott, falling just
outside the fence of the grounds.
Smith, who was 42 yearn of age, had
been giving parachute exhibitions at
fairs throughout the east for the past
ten years and was regarded aa one at
the best In his line. Two years apo,
while attempting a parachute drop
from an aeroplane at Lynn Mass., h
fell 800 feet and was several y Injured
The pilot of the plane was killed.
The aeronaut claimed thai liia aver
age was thirty parachute drops a year.

totton Crop Shows Decline.
The cotton crop of both North Car
pllna and the cotton belt shows the
'henomenal decline of over 13 per
jeent during August, which resulted
In a decreased forecast of 825,000
balos. Added to this was an addi
tional one per cent decrease in acre
age and 367,000 bales due to aban
donment since June 25th whon the
regular abandonment report is ac
counted for. These conditions fore
east a crop of only 10,575,000 bales as
compared with the short crop of 7,
954,000 bales last year. Thus the
crops of both this and last year will
be but little more, than the single
crop of 1914 when over 16,135,000
bales were produced.
Tfte condition a year ago was three
per cent less than on August 25th this
year, but the unusually favorable fall
conditions and lack of boll weevil re
sulted In very fine per acre yields, j
The exceedingly continued wet con-'
boll weevil damage in the southern
half of the state cannot, this year, bo
bo readily altered. Instead of the i
776,000 bale crop of last year, it may

The cause of the explosion Is un

setting off the explosive.
The force of the explosion was
