Washington, July 20. With the assumption yesterday by MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood of the duties of chief of staff of the army two doctors now occupy the two most responsible po
sitions in the army of the United
States. The other doctor who has rls-
en to such power In tbe army is MaJ.
Oen. Fred C. Ainsworth, adjutant gen
eral, who entered the army as assist
ant surgeon in IMHd. . In his recent reports which are now publie records In the war department ' are suggestions that outline it is safe to say some of the future policies. The successful working out of these policies will find In this nation within five years or so an army so formidable In training and numbers that no soldiers In the world may boast of being their superior. National guardsmen .will Qualify as "fighting men" in all
that the word means as it is now defined by the "regular." Recommends Changes. The principal changes which may be considered are: ' Shortening of the term of enlistment In the regular army. , The organization of time expired men Into a powerful reserve. ' The assignment of regular army officers as Instructors to the national guard. j A definite system of schooling for national guardsmen, beginning with elementary lessons the first year, field maneuvers the second, ad concluding with the sham battle tactics the third. Reform concern Ipg appointments to West Point, so that the school may be utilised to Its full , capacity instead of half, a condition which exists at present. , "Avoid fight, but take all reasonable means to be adequately prepared U. fight must come," Is Oen. Wood's motto. Surveying the Interantlonal horlson he could see nothing that lookad like a war cloud. "As long as a standing army Is required In this country and the laws provide for the maintenance of such an army," Oen. Wood asserts, "it
abould be a young active and aggres
sive army. As It exists today It may bo described as an army of veterans.
When such Is the case there is dancer of loss of enthusiasm. The soldier
who has seen from five to twenty
years of service does not accept instruction as readily as the recruit. We are acquiring no reserve of experienced men. Universal service as practiced In some countries would not be accepted In the United States. I do not say cither that necessity calls for It here, or that It would be a good thing tor us. " Walts for Superiors. 1 "It would be Impossible to discuss any plans which I may have In view until after I have conferred with my superiors. Any announcement of radical changes, should they decide to make any, must come from them. Of course I have suggestions which I will make, but I cannot say anything about them until they have been approved." ' Speaking of aviation In Its application to army service, he said: ' "This Is a subject which should be agitated along lines which have been taken so admirably in experiments made by Mr. Curtlss.4 From progress thus far made, I would say that the mall -dirigible balloon has been most successful and the results are most promising. The dirigible has already proved It would be useful as a scouting machine. It has demonstrated Its , Ability to carry an observer over a battlefield who could view a general's who plan, locate field works, lines of communication and other details of a military plan. ' "At present the aeroplane seems to be limited In usefulness for military purposes, because conditions for the etart and for alighting must be entirely favorable."

and . now the Bison management has shipped him to Syracuse. Little wonder the fleet first sacker is not doing
J himself justice.
Bert Daniels is considered a better Infielder than a gardener. Tbe Bucknell star played third base like a seasoned veteran. It isn't often that a recruit plays both fields in his first few days in fast company and makes good at both positions. Young Dowd. the Holy Cross pitcher, now with Pittsburg, was under fire
a few days ago for the first time. His first appearance in the big league wasn't auspicious. Four hits, four runs, two bases on balls, a hit batter and one strikeout made up his record for the two innings he worked. Brooklyn has a number of young
sters who promise to shine in the fast
set with . a little more experience. Tony Smith. Daubert, Wheat and Dal-
toa are a most promising combination. Tony Smith at short is not bigger than a stick of gum in stature, but in fielding he is a giant, fast as lightning and a quick thinker. Louisville has released players Sutor Sullivan and William Moriarity to Omaha and Pitcher Higginbotham to tho Monmouth, 111., ' club. Catcher Pauxtls has been purchased by Louisville from Cincinnati.
Barcelona, Spain, Not as Bad As the Press Pictures City

IS AT STANDSTILL
Traffic in and Out of London Blocked Because of the Railway Strike.
9,000 MEN OUT OF WORK (American Newa Sarvlce) London, July 20 Traffic is completely paralyzed as a result of the strike on the Northeastern railroad and business has been practically suspended along that line. About 9,000 men are already out and notice was served on the corporation by the labor leaders that 30,000 will go out tomorrow unless the officials promise to end the "present tyrannical methods of employment." All work on two immense docks at New Castle was stopped today and the strike is rapidly spreading. Tbe government probably will take some action within the next 24 hours.
(American X Service) Barcelona, July 20. Barcelona is a very beautiful and very industrious city; but unfortunately, owing to the senseless behaviors of a infinitesimally small fraction of its population, it is under a cloud, which cloud, if any one may judge from the reports in the French and English papers of the awful happenings in local streets, is composed of gun powder smoke and the fumes of picric acid. This, of course, is sheer nonsense. It would
be vain and false to deny that there exist in this great town of over a half a million inhabitants a great many social malcontents, some of whom are more or less organized into secret societies of an advanced type, but it is equally vain and false to attempt to establish that Barcelona is a hot-bed of anarchical doctrine and propaganda. It must be remembered that Sacerdotalism calls all socialism anarchists without distinction of degree, and that socialism answers back with no un
certain voice, but Just as there are thousands of priests to one political Jesuit in search of temporal aggrandisement, so is the anarchist a black
sheep in the fold of scientific demo
cratism. The exact ratio of the equa
tion it is not my business to discuss, but less would be heard of anarchists and biogts were it established In Catalonia.
There has been much talk about the
bomb outrages here and the "activity" of tbe anarchists. Well, I shall prob
ably astonish my readers, enormously when I state on inside knowledge that there is not an anarchist amongst all these bomb-throwers, who are one and all hooligans or "apaches." These Bcourges of our big cities Jiave chosen in Barcelona "bombs" as the instruments of their terrorising, as their brothers of Paris use knives and their cousins of Malbourne revolvers. I put the word bombs into inverted commas

Smoking Before Tobacco. It seem probable that there were smokers In Englaud long before tbe Introduction of tobacco, according to tbe London Graphic. Pipes have been discovered Imbedded in tbe mortar of churches built beforo Europe's first acquaintance with tobacco, and It seems only reasonable to suppose that tbe people of that day smoked berbs of some sort either medicinally or for pleasure. Coltsfoot was inhaled for asthma, though whether a pipe was used In tbe process remains a matter for conjecture.

advisedly, as no one who knows any thing of these engines of destruction would never . dream of applying the term to the sardine-tins and kettles charged with powder of an Indifferent quality and exploded by primitive fuses, which the police are always discovering -or pretending to discover here. This "pretending" wants no explanation to .anyone who has a knowledge of the methods of the agent-pro-vocatour. A few years ago the Madrid authorities were always saying, "See how clever we are; we have discovered a Carlist- plot. Today for "Carlist plot" read "Barcelona bomb"
and you have much of the truth of
the "outrages" here. Still and here I must call an im
portant pause I know that in a small street near the Casa Conslstorial there
is a house where six or seven desper
ate and savage men meet frequntly and discuss possibilities which may one day crystallise into some horrible
; and insane act against society. This
small band is all that is to be really feared in the city say 6 in 600,000. I
wonder if Genoa's percentage is as low, or Chicago's, or even Manches

on a somewhat Intimate acquaintance with the subject that there are in the
whole world about three hundred po

perhaps three can be located In Bar

Tbe TwilUcht Of Lire. The muscles of the stomach in old are are no
as strong or active as in youth and it consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a
bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, have unpleasant eructations of rat from
trie stomacn after eating:. All this can be avoided by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which permanently rearulates the bowels so tha,
aasages come naturally, and so strengthen the stomach that food is digested without discomfort. Druggista sell It at SO cents or Si a
