GLOOMY PICTURE
BY HEAD OF ARMY
OUR UNDERGRADUATES DIS
TURBS MAJOR GENERAL
LEONARD WOOD.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Major-
General Wood, chief of staff, paints
a rather gloomy picture of the lack
of preparedness of the army In case
of war in his annual report. There
are many weak spots, he says, and
the most serious is the shortage OF
field artillery and ammunition. He
says there is a great lack of reserve
sea coast ammunition and that at
the present rate of appropriation 1t
will take more than so years to OBJ
tain a reasonable supply for coast
defense, and still longer to secure
the necessary number of field artil-
lery guns and ammunition.
IF the regular army and organ
lied militia, at war strength, were
called to war today" says Wood,
there would be a shortage of more
than 80 per cent in the field artil-
lery necessary to equip them"

ded Taken TO City Hospital.

Newark, n. j., Nov. 26.-Eighteen
persons, probably more, most of
them young girls. persisted in a fire
that destroyed the Newark Paper
Box company's factory early today.
The flames spread quickly through
out the works, and many girls leaped
blindly from the third and fourth
story windows. Three Catholic
priests, Fathers Ferhan, Pillon and
Brennan, fought their way into the
structure giving conditional absolu-
ton to the injured.
Fully 500 persons were employed
in the building.
According 10 accounts given by
girls who escaped, the fire originated
on the third floor from a gasoline
lamp explosion. Spectators say that
10 girls jumped from the fourth
floor. They remained at the win
dows until almost overcome by
smoke and heat from approaching
flames. Twenty-four injured were
taken to hospitals. Six girls were
killed when they jumped and missed
the nets
At $3.50 this afternoon the police
estimated the number of dead at
twenty and injured at forty.

RACE FOR LIFE Is
LOST BY BANDANA
BOY THIS MORNING
Diphtheria Had Closed His
Windpipe and Little
One Was Dying.
Parent Rushed Him Here For
Operation.
BUT 1T PROVED INEFFECTUAL.

Tracheotomy, the only hopes of
saving the life of 1S-months-old
Marsh Sladen, of Bandana, proved
unsuccessful at the Illinois Central
railroad hospital this morning when
the little fellow died at S:35 o'clock.
Choking to death with diphtheria,
the boys life was almost despaired
of. But there was one recourse,
tracheotomy. DR.. Doris, the attend
ing physician, suggested 1t and Harry
Sladen, father of the dying infant,
agreed. They left Bandana at 8
o'clock last night in DR.. Doris au-
tomobile. 1t was a race for life and
at 1 o'clock the dust covered car
stopped at the hospital and the boy
was rushed into the operating room.
The distance of rs miles was COW
cred in as quick time as possible.
The delicate operation of insert
ing a tube in the windpipe was made
by DIR. H. NJ. Childress, an eye, ear,
nose and throat expert. This was
the only manner to keep up his
breathing and for a while after
wards he showed Improvement, but
soon began to sink. The incision
was made into the larynx. 1t was a
rare operation and is sometimes sue
cessful.
The body will be taken to Ban
