RECRUIT TO FULL STRENGTH.
Orders Ominous of War Received by
Captain Abraham.


FL. j. Abraham, captain of Co G, has
received orders from Adit Gen Board
man to recruit his company up TO full
strength, and limited number of
yc1ng men of the city. desirous of
joining, will have an opportunity of
doing so. No reason is given for this
move, the orders emanating from the
national government, which controls
the-state militia organizations since the
new military law was passed 1t is
surmised by some, however, that the
war department foresees a possibility
of this country being brought into the
Russian-Japanese imbroglio should
that contest continue for any length of
time, for the u s. has interests in the
far East that must be protected In
such event it is better to be in state of
preparedness. OF late, Co. G. has been
undergoing a system of wedding out
and undesirable members, or those
showing no qualities of soldier, have
been given their discharge papers and
new recruits added
Captain Abraham has also received
another circular letter from the adiu-
tant general, as follows:
! Section 90 of the Act of Congress
approved January 2lst, 1908, provides
| for examinations to secure q list of
persons qualified to hold commissions
in any volunteer force that may here
after be organized under the authority
OF Congress, but which shall be other
than the organized militia.
Applications from Wisconsin to take
such examinations together with rec
| concentrations, etc., must be made to
| the Adjutant General of this state In
the month of May and November to be
forwarded by him to the Adiutant
General of the United States Army
about January ist and July lst of
each year.
The regulations for carrying this
provision into affect are published in
General Orders No. 6, current series,
United States Army, a copy of which
has been sent you from Washington,
ID. C..
1t is desired that as much publicity be
given this subject as possible that the
knowledge may reach all persons who
may ueSlle W tdke IntSe eAdnllndlIOHS
and thus be qualified for commission
in the event of an outbreak of war at
any time.
There is always shortage of officers
in the army, especially at time of
placing the army on war footing, as
was well illustrated during the war
with Spain. 1t takes men of brains to
conduct campaigns successfully, and
there necessarily follow a great many
promotions, even from the ranks to
petty offices. Consequently the above
letter strengthens the idea that the gov
ernment is preparing for some contin-
gency that may not now be generally
apparent

A. +. Hartley and c. s. Pierce, two
officials of Northwestern road were in
the city Wednesday and held con-
ference with city officials in regard to
the matter of right of way across the
company's tracks Tor the construction
of bridge to connect the First and
Seventh wards After these gentlemen
had visited the proposed bridge site
they were CT the opinion that there
would be less danger from accidents if
the bridge is constructed to the Kelly
property instead of crossing the COM
panys tracks. While the views of the
city off cials did not meet their views
in this regard, they promised TO lay the
matter before higher officials of the
road, who, they stated, will make def
mite answer in a short time 1t is the
opinion of many that the desired con
cession will not be granted and that
tie city viii be compelled to commence
condemnation proceedings if the bridge
is to be built at that point.

CHILD LABOR IN JERSEY,

Last May the governor instructed me
to take hold of the work of the depart
mcnt of factories and workshops and
investigate the conditions that prevail

not observed.
AS complaints were made that the
local deputies did not attempt to en-
force the law deputies were transfer

into the teXtne districts. but no results
We're obtained. The number of viola

cal deputy could not find it,

decided to detail special investg%
