But These Trained Sol
diers Are Scattered
Far and Wide
MANY FORMER
SERVICE MEN
Graduates of Military
Schools Swell
Ranks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-There
are a million men in the United
States who could respond to the col
ors in some form of military useful
ness, IL the call came.
These are national guarGsmen and
ex-national guardsmen still OF mill
tary age; ex-regular army men now
in civil life: the majority of the
Spanish War Veterans and men who
have received training under author
lied army officers IN universities.
There also are young men drilled
under military men in high and pri-
vate schools, and ex-United States
marines who have had land training.
Officers OF the United States army
admit this would be a highly con-
venient army nucleus in time or
emergency, but the government
doe snt know where any Of these
men are except the national guards
men.
Roughly estimated there are $780,
900 national euardsmen and ex-na-
tional guardsmen; over $4,000 army
and navy alumni between 10000
and 100000 Spanish War veterans
and $4,000 college cadets.
War department figures show
there are now sos officers and l20.
693 enlisted men in the national
guard. In the Spanish war 223,235
volunteer officers and enlisted men
served. In ,he colleges last year,
there were $4,000 who had drill, and
in the last 10 years $4,000 men have
been graduated who had been train
ed two years. Figures for ten years
behind that easily make up the esti-
mated total OF $4,000, army officers
say.
AS to the regular army alumni,
an average OF 1900 fails to re-en'
list each year. The total for 1914
was 1890. Even with the loss
through deaths since discharge, in
capacitation, removal TO other coun
tries and old age. the figures for 20
years should he 10000 to 100000
men.
Recent plans OF enlistment in the
war department call for three years
with the colors and four in reserve
Before that. once a mans term OF
enlistment was up. the government
gave no more attention to him.

a premonition Of the Staying Of Mrs.

night by her husband, who later killed
himself when cornered by the police,
is related by Mrs. Anna Miller Of

Mrs. Miller, who came to York to-

a dream which strangely worried her.
IN it she saw a man with revolver
in his hand, a policeman. and two
