Il" in which only one of the Japanese army corps Was engaged during the war with Russia that there were five hundred field guns engaged on the Japanese side alone. There is noth- inE like half that number of guns in the whole of the United States which are modern and up to date. and there is not. according to the same inform ant, one round of reserve ammunition for the few guns that We have. In view of the strong report of General Wood and the fact that 1t will take some time to manufacture the guns after the appropriation is made avail able, 1t Is thought that at least a part of the six million dollars asked for to properly equip the army with field artillery will be recommended by the committee. and allowed by congress.

 the Labor party, which has hereto fore stood with the Home Rule ad- voscates, has issued orders to it's members to use their own judE Ement
