strange friendship has been formed
between Senators Foraker, of Ohio, and
Tillman, OF South Carolina. There are
points OF semblance between the two men.
but those III which they differ outweigh
the former The tmpetuous senior Senator
from Ohio cannot no less than respect and
admire a fighter. He is one himself, and
once having taken up the implements Of
war, will not lay them aside until he is
yanquished, or the other man is put to
flight. There is much of the same thing in
the makeup OF Senator TiliInan, though he
lacks the polish OF the Senator from Ohio.
Almost daily, when business lags, and
both men have looked over their mail, Mr..
Tillman walks over to the Republican
eide and sits beside Foraker. Here they
spin yarns, and the South Carolinian relates
his early boyhood experiences and his
iatterday political battles, in a manner
peculiarly his own.
In one respect Mr. Tillnlan differs from
every other man in the Senate. he has
absolutely no use for the Senate restaurant,
for lie never eats a lunch. Years ago he
was subject to chronic dyspepsia. Several
years OF struggling with various physicians
and different nostrams failed to bring
relief He finally reached the conclusion
that he ate too much, and could secure
relief only by giving his stomach a rest
He ceased eating in the middle OF the
day The fight against the cravings of
his stomach, when the usual hour arrived,
was, Senator TilIman says, long and hard
But his indomitable will triumphed over
the flesh, and today he is a stranger to
dyspepsia

Strangely enough it came into beng
through measures adopted by Napoleon
intended to compass the partial disarma-
ment of Prussia. After the battle or
Jena the conqueror imposed terms by
which Prussia was permitted only TO
maintain an army of $4,000 men. This
condition was honestly observed in the
letter, and completely circnmvented as to
the fact Nothing was said in the terms
about the length of army service so the
PrusSian general Scharnhorst, took ad-
vantage OF the opening and evolved a
system by which certain proportion OF
men could go home on indefinite furlough
after a snort training service, and others
could be conscripted to take their places.
Thus, by enlisting and training men and
retaining them in the service, whether on
active duty or under furlough, Prussia
soon had large available force and in
1913, when the kingdom had recovered
sufficiently to strike back at Napoleon,
there were $50, 900 well l-disciplned men to
call upon and 100000 of these were put
into the field.

SHE CHARGES CRUELTY.
Mrs. Lavinia Lotion Applies for a
Divorce.

Mrs. Lavinia Lotion yesterday began pro-
ceedings for an absolute divorce against
her husband, william S. Lotion, to whom
she was married October so, 1889. She
accused him of being so cruel and abusive
to her that she was compelled to leave
him and take away their two little chill
dren.
The bill filed by Mrs. Lotions attorneys
d. W. Baker and Alexander Wolf, sets
forth in detail many of the husband $ acts
He began his cruelty, the bill charges, a
short while after their marriage. He
repeatedly struck her and threatened her,
she said, and she feared for her life. Then
he went away and stayed four months
without contributing to her support They
were at one time the center of a stree
scene, said the wife, when the husband
assaulted her in public.

Col Greene directs attention to the fun
damental principle Of the European army
system, which is universal liability TO
military service during certain period in
the life of each subject or citizen. In
Germany, beginning at the age of twenty,
men are selected annually by lot to fill the
ranks, and every one must serve twelve
years. The time is divided so that each
man spends two years in the ranks OF the
army, five years in the Landwehr, or first,
and five years in the Landsturm, or second
reserve. Except as to details, the same
applies in other countries. In Russia, fol
example, the service is twenty years, six
in the ranks, nine i'll the first and five in
the second reserve.

Considering its size and scattered forces
the little army of the United States could
be very quickly modified, in case OF an
emergency, and, if that were necessary
its effectiveforee could be strngthen ed with
about $4,000 State troops, which could
be produced at any principal railway CEN
ter in the Middle States in from forty-eight
to seventy-two hours.
When assembled the National Guard

thing that should be desired in the matter
OF arms, equipment, quartermasters' stores,
and commissariat, although the troops
Of some States like New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, Ohio and Illinois
would be found fairly well provided to
start upon campaign. What, with the
number of regular troops that could be

Members in the reserve class are liable to
instant call into active service. Armies
are territorialized; each regiment has its
home and depot in the district where its
reserve force lives. Every man knows the
congregating point at which he must re-
port on notice Mobilization consists mere
Iy in calling in the reserves, issuing arms
uniforms, ETC., which are always in readi-
ness, and dispatching them under their
regimental officers, stationed at the de-
pots for the purpose, to the headquarters
of their regiments. Within few hours
every arm of the service is thus enabled
to change from its peace to its full war
footing, and the rest is merely question Of
transportation.

1t is not alone what an advertisement says

Such mobilization is, perhaps, all that
our present or prospective circumstances do
or may demand, but it is small affair to
consider, in comparison with the vast and
scientific mobilization of first-class
European army, suddenly called into ac-
tion by declaration of war AT the pres

volve great trouble anxiety to the war
minister or to the general commanding
in chief, only because skill and long eX-
perience have been applied to the problem
in advance, and every detail and possible
contingency have been thought out, pre-
pared for or provided against. This was
exemplified in the case of the Prussian
army, when the war between that power
and France broke upon Europe in 1870
General Won Moltke, chief OF the Prussian
general staff, was asleep in his quarters
when, sometime after midnight an adju-
