There is decided disturbing in

forced economy of consumption that

CrOcker Land Expedition Is
 We'll On Way

New. York Nov 20-AH the mem- bers of the Crocker9 Land Expedition, headed by Dr. Donald B. Ma.cMiller, were well on August 20. according to a letter written on that date by Elmer Ekblaw, theologdst Of tho party. The letter was made public today by Ed mund Otis Hovey chairman of the committee in charge of the expedi- ton.
 The letter was written aboard Kras- mussen's nnotorboat in raging sea just off Cape Alexander In it MT. Ekblaw says:
 By a strange freak of luck, as Jot Small and | were fleeing before a storm in our little motorboat we met Knud Rasmussen's boat on it's way to Etah with supplies. Our motorboat attempted to get by Cape Alexander but unable to do so we have turned hack to our camp. Since this motor boat must start back at once there will be no chance for our letters, ca ble messages and mail to get back to us''
 Evidently Mir Hovey explained, ''t11e storm which was raging when MT Ekblaw's letter was written and the fact that he was going back to Etah, kept MT. Rasmussen from con tinuing his journey to the Crocker Land partys headQuarters. MT Ras- mussen felt obliged to put back to North Star Bay for fear of getting caught in the ice at Etah.,'

RUSSIAN HORDE
 NOT BIG FACTOR,
 SAYS HINDENBURG

Berlin. Nov. 0---The Russians have numbers on their side but numbers alone are not the decisive factors. In the present stage of the war less than ever before we are not afraid Of Rus sian numerical superiority. At Tan nenburg the Russians outnumbered us three to one yet the result was a no- table German victory.s'
 These are the views of General Hin .denburg now facing the great Rus sian war machine, as expressed in conversation with the Berlin corres- pondent of the Neue Freie Presse in Vienna
 .The Russians,'' said General Won Hindenburg. "are good soldiers and serve with discipline but discipline of another sort than that of the Austro- German. which is based on thinking and the execution of command, while the Russian discipline is a. mere blind obedience.
 ..tI is a sad but good thing that war and sentimentality do not go togeth- CT. The merciless conduct of war is in the end the most merciful because war is soonest ended thereby

TO RAISE HUGE ARMY
100000 VOLUNTEERS TO BE
ADDED TO REGULARS.
Members of National Guard Will
Receive Preferential Acceptance
in Recruiting Troops.

Washington, April 20.-In the event
of Intervention in Mexico, the United
States will organize and send to the
front a large army of volunteers of
which the organized militia will be
the nucleus.
The first line of troops will consist
of the regular army, which has an au-
thorized strength of 100000 but an
actual existing strength of $500 Of
ficers and enlisted men. OF this num-
Der, about fifty-eight thousand men,
who constitute the force at present
stationed within continental United
States, would be available for duty in
the first line. This number would be
increased $4,000 by recruiting up to
the full authorized strength.
For the second line congress will
authorize the president to raise a vol
unteer army of specified strength,
possibly 100000 men.
The members of the National Guard
of the various states will receive pref
erential acceptance in the recruiting
of the volunteer forces, but the naval
organizations will be left at home.
The volunteer army will be raised
on an entirely new plan outlined in an
administration measure which has
passed the house and is before the
senate with favorable report of the
military affairs committee of the lat
ter body. 1t is cheduled to become a
law within the next two weeks.
