She received decree of separation from

Mrs. Duryea and the Andersons. who
had met in Havre, were on the most
friendly terms. No one greeted the An

General Officers To Be
Limited to Number of
Suitable Commands.
BILL is READY
WHEN NEED ARISES
Yet No Other Troops than Reg.
ulars May Be Required
for Mexico.
Iron The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, May 16.-The military
authorities are devoting their attention
to the details of raising a volunteer
army, although the conservative view
In the War Department inclines to the
belief that there will be no occasion
for troops in addition to those Of the
regular army, which will comprise, as
nearly as now can be estimated, not
more than $4,000 men, with the COM
mands and recruits up to war strength.
This embraces the troops now at Vera
Cruz under General Funston, the troops
under General Bell. composing the I'd
Division, in Texas, and the troops In
ether parts Of the United States, which
will form the 1st Division.
The new volunteer law has required
considerable study and has been SUBJ
'ected to Interpretation by the law Off
GERS. There has been drafted in the
War Department the legislation which
Congress will be asked to enact If it is
found necessary TO raise a volunteer
army. This provides for the number
TO be called out and the number in
each grade of general officers.
Limit on General Officers.
The latter feature probably will be
subjected 10 Congressional restriction,
in that a limit will be placed on the
number Of general officers and the re-
quirement that no appointments as
such shall be made until there are suit
able commands for the brigadier and
major generals who are appointed. BY
this. means it is proposed to avoid the
situation which occurred in the war
With Spain, when there were some
thirty general officers who never COM
manded troops. having no troops to
command.
Considerable complaint has come from
militia organizations as to the method
of their conversion into a federal force
The criticism is due largely, army Of
fcers believe, TO a misunderstanding Of
the existing law. Under the Constitu-
ton the militia as such may not be
used for service outside the boundaries
Of the United States. II is proposed TO
call out the militia in advance Of rails
ing the volunteer army. and TO send it
TO Texas, so far as it may be needed in
anticipation Of the transfer of militia
organizations to the volunteer forces.
Organizations as such, will be taken
over provided three-fourths of their
personnel volunteer. The men must
then be mustered into service, and such
officers as are retained will be commits
stoned, it being estimated that about
ten thousand commissions will have to
be signed by the President. This Is, Of
course. after Senatorial confirmation Of
the appointments.

In The Religious World

There is thrill in contemplation
Of this. The crowds which thronged
the Nazarene of old are not compatible
to the myriads and millions who now
accept his leadership. Our day is the
day of the dominance Of the teachings
of Jesus Christ. His philosophy is be-
ing written into our civil laws and in
to the usages of our civilization. In a
dramatic and wholly unexampled
fashion, this skeptical world of the
twentieth century Is running after the
Teacher whose words the Sunday
schools of the world have been study
Ing for the past three months.
The Urgency of the Doomed.
Great Caesar, we who are about to
die salute thee!" That ancient word
Of the gladiators has lived because
1t Is fraught with the dramatic and
vital element. Last words are COM
monty deemed most important. These
lessons of the past quarter have pos
sessed especial significance because
the tremendous urgency of One
doomed shortly to die Is in them.
Jesus was in the last six months OF
his life when he gave utterance to the
teachings which have made up the
quarters lesson. So much to say
and so little time in which to say it !
The shadow of the cross falls athwart !
these words.
Another notable circumstance about |
this course Of lessons was the place
of their delivery. The scene is laid ,
east of the Jordan, in Perea. The JoF-
dan was a sort of Jewish Rubicon. On
the other side Of it were the heather.
Perea was predominantly Greek. This
tour meant that Jesus was going out |
side of the Hebrew fold. He preached |
a world-gospel. His Perean ministry
was foreign missions. 1t definitely
gave notice that the limitations of the
rabbis could not hold him. Traditions
weighed less with him than human
need and opportunity.
Or. Luke. the Story-TeIIer.
Journalism never had brighter star
than DR.. Luke, the young Greek, who
was trained in the company and by
the teachings of Paul of Tarsus. He Is
the human interest" writer of the
New Testament. His narratives, the
third Gospel and the Book Of Acts, are
the most vivid writings in the canon.
He had an eye for life. His stories are
the most realistic of all in the New
Testament His account Of storm
at sea, in the Book of Acts, is the best
description of ancient seafaring that
has come down to us from antiquity.
This is the man from whose pen
came all except one of the luminous
stories which have held the interest
of millions of Sunday school members
through the past quarter. The teacher
who would keep class attention,
should look we'll to Luke's methods.

HORSE AND COW SOLE
POSSESSIONS OF MAN

Des Moines, March 25.--All he has
left Of a $4,000 fortune is clothing
worth SIS and a horse and COW worth
$125, according to Miles G. Parish, a
wealthy retired farmer Of Grinnell,
who filed petition in federal court to-
day in which he asks to be adjudged
bankrupt. He lists his debts at $751;
071.31 and his liabilities, consisting of
a farm of 24O acres in Poweshiek
county, at $4S,200.
Parish's failure is due to an unsuc-
cessful venture in business as an
officer of the Grinnell Vehicle COM
pany. The company owes debts of
$16,1S7.75 for which Parish is liable.
His farm is lnortgaged for $4,000 and
judgment against him would bring the
total indebtedness up to $75,071.31.
His horse and COW are all he has left,
he declares.

The international Sunday School Les.
son for March 90 Is "Review-Jesus,
the Great Teacher."-Matt. 7:21-29.
(By William r. Ellis.)
Yes; it is true; that brilliant man,
with all his vast learning, was unable
to interest class of students. When
he stood before them his lectures were
mere catalogues Of authorities and
names and dates" So said minister
the other day concerning one of the
ablest theologians Of America. The
characterization Is true Of many other
great scholars. The dryness Of their
books shows it. They are learned
authorities, but not wise teachers.
On the other hand, there are some
really thorough scholars who have
the gift of making vivid and popular
their teaching. Henry Drummond
was such an one. DR.. Smaller Mathews
is another. President Hyde is another.
They write and speak so that the Or
binary reader is charmed, enlightened
and inspired.
This ability to illuminate subject
is the mark Of the morn teacher"
Some pedants, who can only lead a
weary class through a drought-smitten
labyrinth of names and dates, affect
to despise the scholar who can make
his work "popular;;' but the judgment
of time is against them,
Jesus, the greatest Teacher Of all
ages, made his messages to glow with
light and warmth: SO that they have
a greater interest today than they
had centuries ago. Contrast the vivid
of the Master with the
dreary stretches Of the Koran, or the
Analects of Confucius, OF the nebulous
of the Zend-Avesta, or the
puerile winding Of the Vedas, or the
vague speculations of the Buddhist
books. Here, in the words Of Jesus, is
life, warm, pulsing, present life. The
greatest greatness of these teachings
is that they are comprehensive by
the common people.
The Teacher Coming to His Own.
AS the Roman conquerors bore their
captiyes in triumphal procession after
their chariots, so we may liken the
new victories of the philosophy of
Jesus in this present day to trimphal
progress. The dominant democracy
Of the world today follows meekly in
the train of the Carpenter of Nazareth.
All that comprehensive modern MOOD
called Social Service" wears his mark
upon it. Our new standards Of child
welfare follow in the train of him who
was babe at Bethlehem. The WON
an Movement" owes it's existence and
power to Mary's Son. The vast new
spirit Of world brotherhood acclaims
Him Master, who said, "All ye are
brethren"
