Estimating Numbers in Reviews

ffpD1 the 1HlcdRo ITlDune.
 Did you ever try to estimate the num- Der in 0 crowd and then find out later that you had missed your guess by hum dreds2 Here Is a simple system with re- gard to the number of troops on the march:
 The strength of a body of troops may be estimated from the length of time 1t takes to pass given point. Assuming that infantry in column of fours occupies half yard a man. cavalry one yard trooper and artillery in single column of guns and caissons. given point would be passed fin one minute by about 175 in- fantry. no cavalry at a walk, 200 cavalry al trot and five guns or caissons
 Allowing for spacing between compa- nies, battalions and regiments, all of which is according to mathematical rule takes a regiment of 1900 men divided into hattalions Just 10 minutes to pass. or at the rate of GOO an hour. And this sup poses no breaks in the line. These rules. 1t must be remembered. are for trained soldiers used to a long step and to keep ing up without struggling. No civilians ever have kept up or could keep up this pace.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
 STUDENTS STORM THEATRE

Director Huff. You will also kill the game of legalized football.'
 The first chapter of tonights riotous proceedings came when the exulting students paraded to the business quar- ter of Champaign where Charles At kins, speaker of the Illinois legisla- ture, was delivering republican speech. The crowd surged around his automobile and he finally gave up the effort to speak and donned a college rooter's cap
 After the rout of the speaker the col legians raced to the opera house, where they were confronted by a guard of policemen who protected the front en- trance.
 A detour was then made to the side door. where the battle was fought. Bricks were hurled at the windows Of the dressing rooms and the door was partly battered down. It was when a stage hand, armed with revolver, hourished the weapon at the crowd and threatened to shoot, that Director Hun pressed his way through the crowd and made his successful plea.
 University of Illinois authorities de- clared that drastic action would be taken against the guilty students.

 Votes for Democrat

Philadelphia, October 1A--In a letter re- ceved today by Representative J. Ham, ilton Moore of this city. secretary of the national congressional campaign commit tee and chairman of the congressional campaign committee in Pennsylvania, President Taft wrote that in contest between republicans who believe in pro- tectlon and democrats who seek to tear 1t down, the protestlonist who votes for third candidate is giving aid to the enemy In effect, he votes for the dem ocrat."
 The letter was dated at Beverly Oc- tober r. and was in reply to one sent by MT, Moore, informing MT. Taft of the congressional campaign conditions in Pennsylvania.
 The President wrote that reports of increased activity in the republican cam paign justifies the belief that the issues "are of so serious nature to all branches of industry and business that the voter who has thus far been in doubt as to the proper course to pursue, will event ually cast his vote for continuance of those republican principles and that wise legislation under which we have been able to keep business going and to so en- courage our industries to keep both labor and capital profitably employed"
 The President added that the mainte- nance of protective tariff policies is de- pendent upon Congress and that the ex- ecutiye and that if both are democratic then "a complete change to free trade or tariff for revenue business is inevt- able"
