NEW YoRK's GREAT GROWTH.

THAT the army of the United States Is
wofully unprepared for war with any hrst
class power Is the conviction OF Major
General Leonard Wood, the chief OF staff,
whose annual report on the needs OF the
military establishment has just been COM
pieted General Wood declares that this
state of unpreparedness is due principally
10 two causes, the lack of any sufficient
preparation for a mobile army and the
failure of the War Department to assem-
BILE an adequate reserve of war material
AN order which will strike terror 10 the
hearts of some army officers, and Is Ger
tain to be regarded as revolutionary by
many OF them. has just been issued by the
Secretary of War. Mr.. Dickinson's new
rule provides that army officers shall be
ordered before retiring board for mental
or educa tional incapacity as freely as for
physical disquaIifications-
BASED on the percentage of gain shown
by the population statistics Of eighteen
states and territories which have been
compiled officially by the Census Bureau
experts the prediction is made that the
United States has passed the 1D,Wo.00
mark in population.
THE population OF Ohio is 4.761, ,121. This
IS an increase OF G09.576, or 14.7 per cent.
over 4157545 IN 1900. The increase from
1880 to 1900 was 4S5.229. or 1872 per cent.
THE population of the State OF Kansas
IS 1690,94s according to the statistics OF
the, thirteenth census. made public by Di-
rector Durand. This is an increase of
220.454, or Is per cent, over 1,4I0.4s5 in
1900 The increase during the previous
decade from 1890 to 1900 was 41.s73, or
2.s per cent.
"Ths population of New York State is
911S27a. This is a gain in the last decade
OF 1,S44.SS5, or 25.4 per cent. In the pre-
ceding decade the increase was 1.271.041.
or 212 per cent. New York easily retains
its place as the first state In the Union in
population. on the basis of the present
ratio of representation in the House of
REPRESENTATIVES. 1a41S2. the Empire State
would be entitled TO forty-seven Repre-
sentatives. Under the spportionmeut of
ton years ago New York State increased its
membership in the House from thirty four
to thirty-seven. Tho upstate increase In
population in the last decade did not keep
pece with the increase in greater New York.
The gain in New York City In the last ten
years was 1.139.6Sl and the gain outside
OF the city was 515,704 New York City
for the first time has become greater in
point of population than all the remainder
o. the state.

Several hundred suffragetteS assauited
Premier Asquith and Augustine Blrreli,
Chief Secretary for Ireland. in Downing
street. London, and broke many windows
in the government offices. About one hun
dred and fifty of them were locked up This
followed an announcement by the Prime
Minister in the House Of Commons that II
he were still in power at the next session
OF Parliament the government would give
facilities to the consideration of a suffrage
bill The suffragettes characterized this as
nothing more nor less than an Insult TO
the cause One Of them struck the gov
ernment leader, and the Premier WOULD
have Jared badly had not large detach-
ments of police came running TO his rescue
The rioting continued into the evening
when squads of women attacked the resi-
dences OF Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign
Secretary; Winston Spencer Churchill, the
Home Secretary, and Lewis HarcouT. sec
retary of State for the Colonies. Stones
crashed through the windows, Sir Edward
Grey's bearing the brunt OF the attack.
Augustine Birrell, the veteran Chief
Secretary for Ireland, was the victim OF
such a serious beating that as a result of
INJURIES from blows and kicks the aged
statesman was put to bed under the care

all immediate private and official engage

means for Ireland immediate Home Rule.

that the Liberal leaders are standing by

that Mr.. Asauith has promised Mr. Red-
mond in return for Nationalist support
that the Liberals IL returned TO power a.
