The proposed continental army, which is part of the preparedness program, would be made up of 400,000 men, who would get two months intensive training each year. That training would be in the field and the men would give all their time for the two months, getting probably the same pay as regular troops. Local officers have not learned whether this training would all be in the summer months or would be scattered over the year, by having only part of the army in the field at a time.

until the wants of all are sup piled. Deing considered as good if not better than two months of itensive training and no drills. The Guard is thus made up of men who cannot give two whole months a year to the work, and it is not expected that the continental army will draw men from the other branch of the army or keep down its enlistments.

A woman who residents of the street said yesterday afternoon is Mrs. Frank Foster, of South Scranton, was wheeling a baby carriage in which was her infant daughter, when she felt the sidewalk giving way beneath her.

She quickjy pushed the oarriage as 'far ahead as possible and seized an iron fence that is in front of the Tufty home and held on while the flagstone underneath her dropped suddenly. She was roscued by several people who saw her danger and although unhurt was badly frightened. The baby and carriage were far enough away to escape danger. The cave is of the pot hole variety, nearly six feet wide and about thirty feet deep. Standing on Eyron street a person can look down and sea the South Side slope of the mine.
