IN CASE OF WAR.
NO onieiai Information That the Hi
nois National Guards Will be called
UpOn-COi. Clendr Minis Views.

1t had been rumored that the head
officers of the Illinois National Guard
have been making inquiry of the differ
regiments as TO about how many men
could be counted upon in the event of
war with Chill. An ARGUS reporter
called on Col. William Clenden,n in
Moline this morning to whom the latter
stated that he had received no official in
quirv whatever in regard to what the
SIKH regiment could do.
do you think there is shy likelihood
Of the state troops being called out in the
event of hostilities," asked the reporter.
mo do not" he replied, but think
however, that volunteers from the ma
tionsl guard woald in all probability be
called for as they have some knowledge
OF military affairs and of course would be
far superior to raw recruits
Don't you think the regular army
would be sufficient for the presents" asked
the scribe.
That would be hard to tell, said the
colonel; "Our regular army now numbers
only about $4,000 men. and they could
not all be spared. and it would be hard
to estimate just how many cou'd be mus
tered
Then you do not anticipate call up
on the state militiaf"
mo, sir, l do not, but if such thing
should occur think that the Sixth regis
ment would not be found wanting, and
that if called upon we could. muster in
the neighborhood of 500 men,"
Nevertheless it is rumored that the Rod.
man Rifles will have an important ses-
sion tonight.

the Anglo-Saxon was largely bread. says

The bread was baked in round, flat cakes,
which the superstition of the cook marked
with a cross, to preserve them from the
perils of the fire. Milk, butter, and cheese,
were also eaten. The principal meat was
bacon, as the acorns of the oak forests,
