NOTE OF WARNING FROM TAFT
Secretary Hla Mlnaeapolls Speech
Saya the Army la Too
Small.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., June 14. A note
of warning to the country because of the
inadequacy of the land forces of the United
States was sounded here tonight by Wil
liam It Taft. aecretary of war. Secretary
significant speech was made before
the Minneapolis club,' the exclusive social
organisation of Minneapolis, which had
prepared a banquet for the distinguished
visitor. President Cyrus Northrup of the
University of Minnesota presided.
The secretary said that while tha pres
ent army waa capable, the fact that there
were only 67.000 men actually under arms,
Its weakneaa could be seen at a glance.
As compared with the navy it is deplor
ably weak. He explained ha did not want
to minimise the Importance of the navy,
but the country's real strength naturally
lay In Its land forcee. He railed attention
to the fact that the fortlncatlona on either
oast were only half manned and that one
of the great needs of the army In addi
tion to more men was tn a large addition
to Its officers, so volunteers could be prop
erly handled In time of war.

JAPS UP FOR' GETTING MONEY
Two Track Walkers Charged with
Taking Registered Honey List
FIVE HUHDBED D0LLABS IN IT
Paeltaae Picked Up A loos' Llaa of
the Railroad nod Robbery Later
Discloses the Japa'
Flad.
M. Tanakl and K. Kawahara, Japanese
track walkers employed by the Union Pa
clflc at Big Springs, were arreeted Friday
morning by Deputy United States Marshal
Moore on the charge of appropriating 1600
from a registered package that was lost
from a mall pouch near Big Springs two
or three weeks ago.
The Japanese found the package lying
alongside the railway tracks with other
mall that had been in the mall pooch,
which was lost from tha train, or got
caught In being thrown from the train and
destroyed under the wheels of the train
or one following.
The arrest of Tanakl and Kawahara
came about through a peculiar circum
stance. A day or two ago the bank house
lh which the Japanese were quartered at
Big Springs was broken Into by some
tram pa and robbed. The train pa were ar
rested by the state authorities and upon
them waa found soma two or three frag
ments of 85 and 810 bills. These fragments
corresponded exactly with other torn
fragments of bills that had been recovered
by tha United Statea post office Inspectors
along the railway track In their search for
the lost registered mail pouch.
Proeeeda of Robbery.
A subsequent Investigation developed tha
fact that these fragmentary bills recovered
from the men who robbed the bunk bouse
were part of the proceeds of that robbery
and the money was readily traced to the
two Japanese who had found ths money
whilu on duty as track walkers.
Postofllce Inspector Steele, who worked
up the care, hurried at once to Omaha
and Thursday evening swore out a war
rant for the arrest of the two Japanese.
The warrant waa lsaued by United States
Commissioner Anderson and Inapector
Steels, in company with I Hi put y Marshal
Moore, returned lata Thursday night to
Big Springs and succeeded In arresting the
Japanese Friday morning. They will be
brought to Omaha and lodged In the
Douglaa county jail for further hearing.

One qf the most promising signs of the
times is the growing attention given by the
public press to the prevention and cure of
Infectious dlaeasea Naturally enough tu
berculosis, so widely prevalent in all com
munities, commands first interest. As a
wholesale malady it must necessarily be
treated by comprehensive and expansive
methods. This la being done in a way that
properly appeals to the public at large- The
recent antl-tuberculoela congress held In
Washington has also helped not a little to
revive a general discussion on the preven
tion and cure of the ailment by giving a re
newed Interest to the subject based on tbe
opinions of acknowledged experts.
In summing up conclusions thus far what
hare we learned? Not only that tuberculosis
can be prevented, but that a goodly major
ity of Incipient cases can be permanently
cured. The best of all. also, that such
cures are within the reach of every one
who will follow simple and common sense
directions. What Is most needed is not
drugs, as of old. but simply abundance ot
fresh air, plenty of sunlight and properly
nourishing food. The real and efficient
helps are all around us. We have but to
reach, to take and to' be saved. This cer
tainly seems easy enough, and perhaps be
cause so simple we are apt to lose sight of
the neceaaary and really fundamental guar
antee of ultimate salvation. It la, after all,
the individual element In the equation that
must appeal.
The germ Is everywhere In thickly settled
communities. We can hardly escape It, go
where we wlIL The whole game la not only
to give It tbe least quarter, but to conquer
It promptly In Its first attack.
Aa the Herald has time and again re
peated. It la a mere question of seed and
anil the seed being the germ snd the soil
the human subject. If the constitution la of
rock the seed merely perishes by tha way
side. The enemy ran never enter the fort

the lesson of prevention and pure.

A West Point cadet, some years ago,

duct to connect two hleh hills, between
which ran a small si ream.

waa presented, one showing the bridge

with their lss hanging over the side, fish

request that the men be removed from
the bridge.
Upon receiving the paper the second time
th professor discovered that his Instruc
tions had been carried out, but that the
two men were seated on the bank of the
stream, still in quest of representatives of
the finny tribe.

time with positive orders to remove the
men from the drawing altogether. Imag

the features of the "learned Instructor."

orders had U-en obeyed, and the men re
