first time in the history Of the coun-
try the Government is in readiness, at
a moments notice, to arm and eduip
5000 men to send into the field in
the event of war with Mexico or

These plans have been worked out
during the last six years through the
systematic and unremitting labor of
Lieutenant Colonel j. T. Thompson,
OF the Ordnance Department. under
the direction of Brigadier General
William Crozier Chief Of the Blu
reau.
Colonel Thompson points out that
his war plan" Is based upon condi-
tons as they would sctually exist in
the event of hostilities The line of
the regular army would be increased
to its maximum enlisted strength. as
provided for by law; the entire or
ganized militia of the country would
be mustered into the service of the
United States at full war strength.
and the rest of the force would be
raised by the enlistment of voIun-
teers.
Concentration Camps Planned.
The war plan" as now completed
provides that this force shall be arm
ed and equipped at concentration
camps before the different units are
sent to the scenes Of operations.
Coordination tables and maps
have been prepared. giving for the
mobile army and the organized mi
litia in each arm Of the service their
present strength and the number Of
troops required to bring each to war
strength, as well as the number and
kind Of volunteers TO be raised to
complete 100000 troops
The various increases needed in
each branch of the service are shown
on a map which is divided into FIVE
ordnance supply sections correspond
ing as follows: Sections 1 and 2.
Eastern Department Of the Army;
Section 3. Southern Department;
Section 4, Central Department.; Sec
ton ., Western Department The
number of sets OF equipment of the
different kinds required can thus be
very closely Appropriated. The exact
number of arms and equipment of
every kind to be held on hand at the
supply arsenals throughout the coun-
try is then determined.
Supply Dopots Provided.
The department also has worked
out a system OF division field supply
depots. Each depot has the necessary
personnel. tools, ordnance stores and
supplies estimated sufficient for main
tanning for six months a complete d.
vision of infantry or cavalry or aux
Hilary army troops. These division de-
pots are so arranged that several can
be readily combined into field army
depot.
The system includes blanks for tel
egrams letters, and various orders
which would need only to be dated
and signed, in the Office OF the Chief
Of Ordnance. In order to set the ma
chinery of equipment in operation.
The General Staff OF the army
deems the new war plan" as applied
IN ordpauce ~ valuable in tho avpe-
ditious placing of properly equipped
troops in the field at short notice that
1t has directed other departments to
prepare similar systems

VIII Fight AnnuIment Asked by
Mother of Fourteen-Year-OId
Girl He Married Secretly.
Albanian Displays Letters From
Young Wife, Written in Tampa,
Declaring She Was Taken From
Him-Wedded While in School.

~,rhe course of true love never did
run smooth" says an old, old adage.
And it was more than usually rugged
for Forrest Ashworth. whose girl
wife, IA years old, was stolen from

nulment OF their marriage.
The petition was filed Friday by w.
A. James. attorney for Mrs. Ludie
HUMPHREYS, and Saturday morning
Mr.. James explained that the annul-
ment was asked on the grounds of
fraud in the manner of Ashworth's
persuasion Of the girl TO elope and be
married without the knowledge or
consent of her parents. Ashworth is
% years old.
The girl was pupil at Miss Han
mas private school last June. She
was married to Ashworth by a local
justice the 18th day Of that month,

The girl continued at school for

put me on the train for Jacksonville,
and told the conductor to watch me

Governor Felker in his decision
bases the extradition order on a writ
ten opinion from Attorney General
Turtle. The Governors decision is
strictly in accord with interstate
comfy. Governor Felker ignored all
questions of New York's good faith
which had been attacked by the Thaw
counsel He discussed simply the
question of the form IF the papers
and their validity.
Thaw was apparently not disturbed
By the blow to his chances. He is
sued the following statement:
1T has been my opinion that Gov
ernor Felker would order the extra
dition. The people of Concord Thought
so, and I was naturally moved by
their belief
TT is also my impression that Gov
ernor Felker did what he believed to
be right. l think he merely consid-
cred whether the documents were
technically correct, and that he did
not inquire into the motive which in
spires the persecution of me.
81 am not disheartened. My strong
est hopes lie now in the Federal
courts"
Await Jerone's Moves.
The Thaw lawyers will wait now
for Jerome to make the next move.
Jerome is to ask that the writ of
habeas corpus which brings Thaw
into the Federal courts be dismissed.
The Thaw counsel Will Immediately
file a new or amended habeas corpus
petition. This petition may come up
for hearing probably the latter part
of next week in Portsmouth, n. H,
where the Federal Court is now sit
ting. probably before Judge Aldrich.
Both sides have agreed that there
shall be no unreasonable delay in the
hearing. Both sides have likewise
agreed that the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals has no jurisdiction
in the case.
After agreement between counsel
Governor Felker ordered Sheriff Hol-
man A. Drew not to seize Thaw until
November II. This givrs the lawyers
on both sides until then to prepare
their cases for the Federal Court.
