ENGLAND IN NEED
Of FIGHTING MEN
Recruiting Becomes a
Difficult Task.
ARMY'S WANING STRENGTH

POPULATION.
Scotland Is Especially Backward, and
Even in Ireland It Is Harder
to Get Soldiers Than
Formerly.
ARMYS WANING STRENGTH
GETS ONLY THE DREGS OF THE
POPULATION.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April pa special ca
bic to the World from London says:
England must prepare to make a big
financial sacrifice if she wishes to avoid
a cOnscription in some form The mil
itary authorities here are at their wits
ends to stimulate recruiting, which has
shown a great falling off. 1t was de-
cided recently to add another battalion
to the Scots Guard, but so few recruits
have come forward that special per
mission has been obtained to enlist
men in Ireland for this nominally Scot
tish regiment. But that is an old story
as there are almost as many Irishmen
as Scotchmen in some of the most ia
nous fighting Highland regiments.
Despite all the fresh inducements of
pay and pension recently offered, in
volving a large additional charge on
the nation, the army is getting only
the dregs of the population. Scotland
especially is backward. Even in Ire
land it is harder to get soldiers than
formerly
This state of affairs is attributed in
some measure to the Improvement in
trade and the consequent satisfactory
condition of the labor market, for 1t
is a known fact that except in few
districts in North England Englishmen
rarely become soldiers except through
want of employment.
1t is different in Ireland, but there
political feeling is a great drag on re-
cruiting.
Army reformers insist that the diff
Guilty can be surmOunted only by pay
ing at the rate of the labor market and
giving the soldier "a cents a day clear
instead of deducting his rations from
that pay, as at present.

TOMB OF THE POPE
HAS BEEN PREPARED
The Missing Detail Which Consisted
on an Inscription Is Completed
by His Holiness.

ROME, April 22.-Several years ago the
Pope gave the famous sculptor, Luchetti
a commission to construct a tomb for his
Holiness, to be placed in the basilica Of
ST. John The tomb is now complete in
every detail save one. 1t can be erected
in its place in a day or two. The missing
detail is now supplied. 1t is the inscrip-
would write as soon as there seemed to
be a likelihood of needing it. Last week
he composed the inscription and sent 1t to
Luchetti. 1t is in Latin and is very sim
pie, only the Popes Christian and family
names, date of birth, blank for date Of
death and few words recording Leo's
veneration for st. Thomas and St. An
thOny.

T.t,ep-Architect VIII Not he Sc
oursd Till Then-RaiIrOad News
and Notes
The hands of the four railroads asking
.,rcezsons from the city for the proposed
,.rior station will be tied until Council
.okae some action. 1t is not known just
rben that body will take the petition re-
.s,cei a Aits meeting night before last un-
1sr consideration, but it is presumed that
Z, vOl be within a short time. General
eminent is nnquestionably in favor of
the city granting any reasonable privi-
1sses 10 the roads, as the benefits that will
accrue from the erection and use of I'M
ION station will be great.
The concessions, rights and privileges
asked by the roads have been rather gen.
orally discussed by those who have read
tbs petition. 1t is believed, as a general
thing that the roads are moderate in
their demands, and if Council grants the
netitlon in toto there would be but little
objection raised by the general public.
No property owner in the neighborhood
of the proposed depot has been heard to
express himself relative to the privileges
asked It is not known if there is any
thing sought by the roads that such prop
srtv owners would desire refused. When it
comes TO closing a street, however, or
granting right of way through property,
there are usually some who protest and
tbe meeting of Council before which the
petition will come up will doubtless have
few of these on hand.
A favorable feature of the petition and
one that strikes the reader as being very
fair action on the part of the roads 81
that where the statement is made that
every means was adopted to allow of only
the absolutely necessary concession being
asked from the city. That the chief engi-
neer of the Plant System should have been
instructed to so form his plans as to make
as little help from the city as possible
suffice is taken as strong evidence that
the projectors of the depot wish nothing
more than they should have in right and
justice.
Mr. w W. Mackall, one of the resident
petitioners, said yesterday that the roads
Will mold off until Council takes action.
Nothing will be done in the way of ,secur-
ing an architect TO draw the plans for
the building After consent of Council
to the privileges requested is secured,
there will be nothing to impede the work,
preliminary steps having all being taken,
and there will be no reason why it should
not PROGRESS rapidly to compilation.

HE couLpN.r eEr ANYTHING.
Alderman Doyle objects to Being a
Nonentity in City Council.

Nonentity in City Council.
Alderman Doyle has rendered his resig-
nation as aAnensber of Council. The al
derman's action was somewhat precipitaJe
and his brother members are az a loss 10
account for his action.
While Acting Mayor Tiedeman and sew
eral members of the board were waiting
in the Mayors Office Wednesday night.
Alderman Doyle came in. The chair at
the Mayors desk being vacant he took
a seat there and wrote something on a
sheet of paper. He handed the sheet 60
Acting Mayor Tiedeman, who glanced at
1t and saw that 1t was the aldermans res
ignation. Alderman Doyle had put on his
hat and started for the door and did not
turn back when the acting mayor called
to him. No reason was given by him for
his resignation.
The resignation was mentioned In eau
Gus, and it was decided that as Alderman
Doyle had evidently been hasty in his ac-
ton that it would be well to say notnlns
about it, as he might see fit to change his
mind later.
Mayor Myers, who is in New York, was
informed by telegraph of Alderman Doyle 8
action and telegraphed the latter yester-
day, requesting him to allow the matter
to remain in allegiance until his return 10
the city, which will be on Monday, After
considering the matter, Alderman Doyle
decided to allow Inc matter to take. this
course and teaegraphed Mayor Myers ac-
cordingly.
When seen by Morning News reporter,
Alderman Doyle seemed to entertain soma
grievance against the administration. He
complained that he could not "get any>
thing" when 1 went on the ticket and
gave Mr.. Myers my support" he said, II
thought l would be able to help a friend
occasionally. 1 have found That such Is
not the case. My recommendations seem
to have no weight. have not been able
to get anybody appointed on the police
force, and even when do get a man on
the corporation he is the first to be dis
charged. 1 do not propose to put up with
this sort of thing any longer"
You will observe also said Alderman
Doyle, that when Mayor Myers appoints
his committees my name is Jeff off. l
am tired Of being nonenity. That's the
size of It."
Acting Mayor Tiedeman said that AL
derman Doyle had given him no reasons
for rendering his resignation. and he had
no idea what could be the cause of his
action. No committee had been appointed
to see Alderman Doyle, he said, but the
latter had agreed to hold the matter in
allegiance until Mayor Myers return.
The probabilities are that Alderman
Doyle will be prevailed upon to withdraw
his resignation. If he feels that he has
not been given sufficient recognition here
tOfore. it Is safe to say that ample as
surances win be forthcoming that this
cause of complaint will no longer exist
Alderman Doyle was a wheelhorse in the
last campaign, and the administration
would not willingly lose his friendship.
All the aldermen protest that they know
of nothing which would warrant such pre-
cipitate action on his part, and that they
would be sorry to lose Alderman Doyle as
a member of the board

Progress of the Work ON Hutchinson
Island Clearly Indicated.

Progress of the Work on Hutchinson
Island Clearly Indicated.
The Georgia and Alabama has had Mr.
N. Ed. Wilson make several fine views to
show the progress of the dredging and
pling on Hutchinson's Island. The pic
lures take in the river front of the island
where the work is progressing. Compared
with the similar pictures of some months
ago, it may be seen that a great deal has
been done towards the conversion of the
waste land of the island into modern rail-
way terminals.
To visitors to the island 1t is a matter
Of surprise to note the grade that has
been gained. Looking across the river
from the elevation of the bluff or the
buildings on Bay street, the island appears
10 be greatly depressed, but, being on the
other side, one may readily see that a
hight has been secured in places by the
Milling that is greater than that of River
street on the south side.
Vast quantities of sand have been re-
moved from the three great slips. Poured
by the rapid forcing process of the
dredges into the depressions of the island,
the sand has filled them rapidly. 1t has
now become perfectly firm and solid
having settled into its final position and a
little surface grading after the dredging
Is complete will give the yards a uniform
elevation that will be greater than that Of
River street on the city side.

ITS EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.
Interesting Addresses at Tarver's
Circulating Library.

A small but appreciatNe audience at
tended the celebration of the eighth an
niversary of Tarver's Circulating Library
at Turner's Hall last night. The pro-
gramme was worthy of a larger one. APP
propriate addresses were delivered by Rev
John D. Jordan, pastor Of the First Bap-
list Church; Mr.. Charles V. Hohenstein
and Col. G. B. Whatley, each speaking
to a topic suited to the occasion. Mr..
Jordan spoke of the value of good books,
Mr.. Hohenstein read an interesting essay
upon literature, while Col. Whatley dis
cussed the subject of education.
Mr.. E. H. Alley concluded the enter
tainment with a few remarks, compli-
mentary, to the speakers, and paid a trib-
ute TO Mr.. Tarver for the enterprising
spirit shown by him in establishing pub
lie reading room. MIR. Alley spoke of 1t
as an educational enterprise which would
be eninently beneficial to the masses to
whom ii is made accessible.

PREACHED ON PETERS LIFE.
Increasing Interest in Duffy Street
Revival Services.

increasing interest IN Duffy street
Revival Services.
Rev. w. L. Walker preached to large
congregation at the Duffy Street Baptist
Church last night. His text was part OF
the seventh verse of the sixteenth chapter
of Mark But go your way, tell His
disciples and Peter that He goeth before
you into Galilee5 there We shall see Him,
as He said unto YOU"
Mr.. Walker took the life of Peter as his
theme. Peter had been bold, he said, but
trusting too much in his strength, he fell.
The point at which great many C..ris-
tlans fall, said Mr. Walker, is when they
trust too much in their own strength.
The difference between Judas and Peter
was that while Judas was remorseful for
having betrayedr the Master with a kiss
and went off and threw the silver down.
yet he never lrepented to God. Peter
wept bitterly for having denied his Mas
ter and prayed to God for forgiveness.
When once a child of God, always a
child, although we may wander away into
sin, but God seeks us and will bring US
back into the fold Sometimes we are
brought back through affection or the loss
of dear ones.
A great deal of interest is taken in the
meetings There will be the usual ser
vices to-day at 1920 in the morning and s
O'Clock In the evening. There win be no
services tomorrow.
