SECURITY LEAGUE ISSUES GALL FOR VOLUNTEER ARMY Seeks Membership of One Million Men for Definite Military Program to Help Nation.

NEW NATIONAL BOARD

To Prepare "Against War" National Defense an Issue at the Next Session of

Congress.

Better coast defenses, a definite military and naval policy, a budget

system for approaching money instead of the present "Pork Barrel" method

in congress, an effective mobile regu

lar army, better government support

for the national guard, and the ere

ation of an organized army and navy reserve are among the platform planks

upon which The National Security League is sending out an appeal for

the enrollment of a first American nrmy of one million volunteer work

ers.

Among the names which appear In the membershiyp of this League for national defense are Joseph H. Choate,

former ambassador to England, hon

orary president; Alton B. Parker, honorary vice president; S. Stan wood Menkin, president; former Secretary

of War, Henry L. Stimson, chairman of the army committee; J. Bernard

Walker, chairman of the navy com

mittee; Benjamin F. Tracy, former

secretary of the navy; Colonel William C. Church editor of The Army and

Navy Journal. Explains Call.

In the call for volunteers the

league points out that "until a satis

factory plan for disarmament has been worked out and agreed upon by the nations of the world, the United States

must be adequately prepared to de

fend itself against invasion, and also that a military equipment sufficient for this purpose can be had without

recourse to militarism." The league

"was formed, continues the appeal, "as a preparation not for war but against

war." There ara today according to the league, but 30,000 mobile troops in continental United States, and this small force is short of officers and ammu

nition, and equipment. It is distributed among 52 widely scattered points.

which would make it impossible to mobilize quickly at any given point. The National Guard, according to the League, is far below its paper strength in men, equipment and efficiency. Describes Navy. In the report of the naval committee, our navy is described as "a peace navy," inadequately manned, without sufficient target practice, exceeded in tonnage, by Great Britain, France and Germany, and, moreover, with many of our ships obsolete. "There Is need of a navy of sufficient size," says the

committee, "to prevent the capture of our insular possessions, to guarantee

the neutrality of the Panama Canal and to prevent the landing of a hostile

force at any point upon our 21,000

miles of coast."

Among the standing committees being organized by the League is a Peace Committee, on which it is proposed to

invite representatives of the church on

a non-sectarian basis, to serve together

with men distinguished as publicists, whose services will tend to disarm

those critics of the League who have

brought the accusation that the League is organized for the promotion of war. Ask All.

The call for volunteers and for pub

lic support is being sent out in the form of an open letter addressed to present and former members of the cabinet, to members of congress, to governors of our states and territories to mayors, to chambers of commerce, and boards of trade, to merchants' associations, to unive.'sity clubs and alumni associations, to colleges and universities, to patriotic organizations, to all women's clubs and to all American citizens in general. It is the present plan of the league to make national defense an issue at the coming session of congress. With this program in view, branches are being organized all over the country especially in the districts of opfbsition. Steps have already been taken for branches in nearly 200 prominent cities. All those interested in the work of the league are invited to send their names and money contributions to the National Security League, 31 Pine Street, New York City.

FIND OUT. The Kind of Food that will Keep You Well.

The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass. woman writes: "I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first following directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested. "But its most special, personal benefit has been as a substitute for meat, and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to change diet. "Served in this way with the addk tion of a cup of hot Postum and a li tie fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my excessive weight adds greatly to my comfort."

JOHN DODD. Exceptional talent has been obtained for the May Festival. Warren Whitney s one of the American singers whose ability as a tenor has attracted general attention. In oratorio his brilliant rendering of intricate coloratura passages and his no less effective work in the heroic and bravura style, prove him an artist of the type composers had in mind when they created their masterpieces. In Cincinnati John Dodd has been recognized for about ten years as a most reliable artist. His voice is a splendid baritone, and since he first gained recognition as an artist worthy of professional engagements, his ser-

TELEGRAPH COMPANY IMPROVES QUARTERS With the completion of the renovations which have been under way for the last sixty days, the West Union Telegraph company's office in Richmond will be one of the best equipped in the state. It is expected to be finished next week. The motor generator plant has been installed to replace the 500 cell gravity batteries which required so much cellar foom in the former office used by the management. The new operating table is known as a concentration table and takes the place of five of the old style tables. The management is prepared to put all of the wires coming from the office underground as Ninth street is paved. New desks, counters and office supplies have replaced the old equipment and the office has been painted according to the standardized system of the telegraph company. The semiindirect lighting system is also used.

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap yon use the better. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff nd excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last every one in the family for months.
