tn following story, taken from a recent
Issue of the San Antonio Express, indi-
Gates how the union revival conducted by
the Brownsville churches last May, is
viewed from the outside:
The city OF Brownsville has passed
through a two weeks union revival. The
above picture shows the group of men who
led in hat work. The men who are
grouped so closely in the picture were just
as closely linked in the revival enterprise.
II was a remarkable example of how men
of different varieties of religious faith and
opinion could forget their differences and
work together for the common good. DIR.
Mcclellan of Central Christian church, San
Antonio, who led the meeting, says that
there was not one Earring note in the whole
revival. There was no greedy ambition on
the part OF any pastor Ia get more for his
own church than any other. This same
spirit was in the union crowd which nightly
gathered in the great tent. As the meet
ing recedes into the past the impression
that remains j. of the happiest kind.
The pastors in the picture are:
George NJ. MacDougall, rector Of the
Episcopal church, a man beloved by every
one in the city for his kindly social spirit.

and the patron saint of the soldiers of Fort

KITCHENER ASKS FOR HALF OF
AVAILABLE MATERIAL FOR HIS
NEWEST ARMY.

(Correspondence If the Associated Press
London, June 24.-Lord Kitchener has
asked for half of the available recruiting
material of the United Kingdom for hrs
newest army. He wants 10 raise an addl-
tional 800, 900 and an analysis of census
statistics indicates there are not over
coo, 900 men left in the United Kingdom to
draw on, If the industrial needs Of the
country are taken into consideration.
Army estimates for February provided
for 3,OOO,0 600 men. These, and perhaps
more, are serving. According to the Daily
News, il would take another million to
cover the navy, the armed auxiliary YES
sells, the mine sweepers and applicants To

that 1000, 900 civilians are employed in
the manufacture OF equipment and NUM-
tons and in their transport. Another

officials, seamen, miners and laborers. keep

Britain, therefore, j. employing a grand
total Of $500. 900 men. The last census
gave the United Kingdom S,lOO, 600 men Of

sailors now serving and those previously
rejected, together with the necessary
civilian war and industrial workers, there
are only 1000 men Of military age left
out of which To raise the new army Of
30O, 900. The advocates OF the volunteer
system say this can be- done. Conscrip-
~tionists are n vet a small, If noisy, mi
nority.
Kitchener has been severely criticized
al times for his recruiting methods, but in
one instance al least he knew more about
his business than the public. When in the
early days of the war he raised the ply
steal standard from 5 feet 4 inches 10 SO.
newspaper critics told him that this was
an age of science and not of Drawn. and
the little man proved the best fighter by
reason Of being able to live on less food
and to take OF cover easier in action.- But
Kitchener was then facing the problem OF
clothing, equipping, feeding, quartering and
drilling the new men. From a normal peace
issue of PAS, 900 pairs of shoes a year 10
the British army, the order was immcdi-
ately jumped to 6.500.00O pairs; suits Of
WOODEN underclothes from ll4.000 Ia
1000, 900; $4,000 uniforms To $780, 900,
and other supplies in proportion. Besides.
training grounds and quarters had to be
prepared and officers found to drill the
men. To shut Town on the supply of re-
cruits until those accepted could be cared
for, Kitchener raised the size limit, which
he has gradually reduced TO 5 feet ? inches
for the bantam ~battalions. The fact that
England has managed to accomplish all
this without conscriptioD is the chief argu-

No More Very Young

Correspondence of the Associated Press
London. June 2.-The inadvisability
of sending very young men To the fight
ing front is emphasized in IA report by
DIR. Murray Leslie on the treatment Of
cases Of mental shock resulting from war
service Nearly all the cases Of fighting
affecting the mind have been In men Of
q or - or younger. declares DIR. Leslie,
who suggests that this may be the rea-
son for the recent German order that no
more volunteers under II will be ac-
'ccpted for the army.
DIR. Leslie divides eases of battle shock
into two classes those who have been
constantly subjected 10 shell explosion
and have no actual injury, and those
suffering from neurasthenia. The first
kind of ease is characterized by a Gu
rious stupor: frequently patients are
%oblivious IF all their surroundings. The
n~eurasthenia cases require prolonged
treatment. and il is regarded as a great
mistake to send them back o soon.
The writer points out the possibility.
as the war progresses, that these cases
Of war-shock will become frequent also
among the population at home. Tine

ent was made yesterday by compe-

The first result of the new policy will
be the erection of great fortress at
Cape Henry. armed with 16-inch guns, the
land for which has been acquired
The second will be the erection of a
similar fortress east of Sany Hook. This
fortress probably will be on Rockaway
