ico to present his credentials as
American ambassador. Accompanied
by Capt Frank R. McCoy, military
attache of the embassy, he will en-
ter Mexico at Laredo, traveling to
Queretaro. the country's new capital,
over the National railway. The orig-
inal plan for him to go by way of Vera
Cruz was abandoned because of the
presence fo rebels along the coast.

Mexican embassy, notified his govern-

Official and unofficial report* con-
tinue to Indicate growth of the antl-
government movement In Mexico.
Although the active forces are
those headed by Vtlla. Zapata and a
few others less widely known, some
officials are convinced there is a con-
siderable support being given those in
the field by a large group of men In
the United States and Europe, former-
ly identified with governmental af-
fairs in Europe. Dr. Vasquex Gomel,
of Francisco Madero's cabinet aad
now a resident of San Antonio, Tex.,
is heading a new movement whose
slogan is "Restoration of the consti-
tution" and whose propaganda in-
cludes the charge that the present
government has admitted Its illegality
by the repudiation of the real consti-
Itution, that of 1857.
Information reaching the state and
war departments indicates that Villa
has in Chihuahua approximately 8,000
Imen.
Already he has occupied the greater
part of the territory vacated by Gen-
eral Pershing, but offclials do not be-
lieve he will contest the permanent
possession of the field against Car-
ranza's army when It appears.

time to get proper crews and equip-
ment for them.

although it contemplates about the
total strength proposed by staff of-
ficers. A year of intensive instruc-
tion has been declared by Major
General Scott, the chief of staff, to
be the minimum of safety ofr the
training of even defensive soldiers.
A universal training bill carrying
the endorsement of virtually the en-
tire membership of the general staff
and based on a year's training, is
almost ready for final submission
to Secretary Baker, and the presi-
dent. Neither official has committed
himself on the principle of universal
training.
The committee measure, which Is
based on that prepared by Major
Moseley, formerly of the army gen-
eral staff, fixes military training as
a duty of citizenship, denying nat-
uralization until such training has
been at least begun or exemption
j granted. All government employment
| would be closed to those who could
I not procure certificates of training
or exemption und private employ-
] ers would be similarly prohibited
from employing any man who has
evaded his military service. A blan-
ket penalty with a maximum of $1,-
000 fine and a year's imprisonment
for each offense Is provided for the
violation of any section of the act,
except that those who evado train-
ing when liable for it must serve
a longer time.
Would Have to Report.
For nine years, or until he has
passed bis twenty-eighth year, each
reservist would be required to report
in person annually to the registration
authorities of his military district.
In case of war the youngest classes
would be called first. After his
twenty-eighth year a reservist would
pass into the great body of the un-
organized militia, subject only to the
general laws.
The bill provides no organization
after the troops leave training, but
the president Is given wide latitude in
this regard. No changes in the pres-
ent national guard system are pro-
vided for. Training would be in mili-
tary districts comprising single states
or groups of small states, and the es-
tablishment by lease or purchase of
training cantonments in each district
is directed. Registration and medical
examining board for each district or
subdivision also would be appointed
by the president, the word of the lat-
ter as to physical fitness to be final;
while action of the registration boards
on exemptions could be appealed to
the federal district courts. Youths
liable for training would be required
to report themselves or to be re-
ported by parents or guardians.
Could Choose Service.
To encourage preliminary military
training such as that given in schools,
credit to a maximum of three months,
or one-half the total required period,
might be allowed. The applicant
could elect either army or navy ser-
vice, his wishes to be carried out as
nearly as possible. Specific prohibi-
tion is made against the use of force
in strikes or other Industrial disputes.
Officers and enlisted men of the
regular service could be commis-
sioned In the citizen army, but would
receive the pay of their grades only
while on active duty, not during train-
ing periods.
Provision Is made for commission-
ing volunteer offers selected by ex-
amination from men who had mili-
tary experience in the national guard
or in naval training camps or at mili-
tary schools or colleges, or who have
served their own six months' training
period under the act,
These officers would be liable an-
nually for three years for two months'
duty in training troops and could be
promoted only on examination and
compliance with training regulations,
to be fixed by the president. Ma- j
chlnery for the discharge of officers j
on unfavorable findings as to their j
qualifications by efficiency boards
also is provided.

The Temple Coca Cola Bottling
Works Is now open for business, and
J. K. Evans, who Is at the head of this
new Temple industry, is much pleased
with the outlook.
Mr. Evans came to Temple from
Chattanooga, Tenn.. several weeks
ago, and immediately leased the
Wagner building on South First
street, put in his concrete flooring
and had such other remodeling dtno.
as was necessary for the accommo-
dation of. his plant. His machinery
was delayed In shipment for some
time, but it is all in place now, and
all of the newest and most complete
type.
The plant began operation Friday.
Mr. Evans states that he has not yet
made a canvass of the territory in
which he will operate outside of Tem-
"ple, but that in the city he has made
a very satisfactory number of con-
nections with dealers and is pleased
with tho prospects generally. The
plant at present has a capacity of 250
cases of Coca Cola a day. and is so
arranged that the capacity may be
doubled at any time that the busi-
ness npy demand. Mr. Evans has the
rights for the manufacture and distri-
bution of the Coca Cola in Bell, Milam
and Lampasas counties, and will im-
mediately begin to establish connec-
tions in all of the towns1 of the three
counties to be served by the Temple
plant. All of the nearby towns will
be served with a daily truck service,
and railroad shipments will be made
to those at a greater distance.
The plant is most irndern and san-
itary In all Its equipment.

A CARD
Inasmuch as it conies to my knowl-
edge that some of the citizens of
Temple are "cool" toward my candi-
dacy for Alderman from the Third
Ward, alleging: "He's one of those
rank socialists," I take this method
of affirming that I am not a social-
ist—have never belonged to nor voted
with that party, nor have ever affil-
iated with them In a political way.
I wish to state that while a demo-
crat, I hold in high esteem many
friends who are avowed socialists, and
that I am not antagonistic to many
of the good planks in their platform,
which are being rapidly purloined and
incorporated into the platforms of the
dominant parties. I simply believe
that the democratic party is the best
vehicle for obtaining those govern-
mental reforms which the country is
in position to assimilate. I am not a
socialist, but a democrat.

though sale and use of such for medi-
cal purposes Is possible under regula-
tion. Another feature is that men
who have completed their training
would be entitled to wear a rosette,
showing the class to which they be-
long.
Officials of the general staff are in-
clined to disapprove the bill, particu-
larly because of the six months' train-
ing period. They declare that even
the year minimum fixed in the staff
plan contemplated only 50 per cent
of the efficiency of the average Euro-
pean requirements for training.
The staff officers are Inclined also
to feel that inadequate provision is
made for training personnel. A force
of 500,000 men. they say. requires a
minimum of 17,000 officers, at least
Ho per cent of whom must he profes-
sional soldiers if anything resembling
intensive training is to be given in six
months. The full commissioned
strength of the regular army under
the national defense itct will be less
than 12.000 officers, and it is pointed
out tlmt if !t000 of these were to he
detached for training purposes for six
months nut of each year, training of
the regulars or any use of that force
would be virtually impossible. It is
understood that the staff bill takes
these points into consideration.
