London. Oct. Is, 7.c0 p. M.-Recruit-
ing is to be taken entirely out Of the
hands Of the military authorities and
entrusted exclusively to civilian or
ganizations. This, in nutshell, Is
the plan by which the Earl of Derby,
director of recruiting for the army.
hopes to secure sufficient number
OF volunteer enlistments to render re-
course to consumption unnecessary.
He described the new system at pri-
vate conference with the parliamentary
recruiting committee and the joint la
Dor recruiting board this afternoon.
THE changes that I propose making"
sadi Lord Derby, "have not been ne
cessitated by any shortcomings on
the part Of the recruiting staff, but by
the exigencies Of the situation. which.
to my mind, require entirely new
methods Of dealing with the subject In
the past, recruits have been found by
the military authorities, assisted by
the civilians. I propose to make civil
ians responsible for bringing raw ma
terial in the shape of recruits to the
military authorities for them to enlist
clothe. equip and train.
This can be rendered possible only

n. Y.LAWYER DIES
FROM ANTHROX IN,
HOSPITAL FRIDAY

New York, Oct. 15.-George F.
Stackpole. the lawyer. of River Head.
L. l., who was stricken with anthrax
several days ago. died in Bellevue
Hospital early today of heart failure
resulting from the poison Of the dis
ease.
Mr.. Stackpole's death came after 4
rally which caused the physicians to
believe that the most serious phase of
the disease had been passed and that
he would recover. Mr.. Stackpole, who
was II years Of age, was consciou;
until within Ave minutes before he
died and told his wife he realized
that death was near.
The unusual nature of the disease
from which Mr.. Stackpole suffered,
which is common to cattle but infre-
qpent in human beings, attracted pub
lie attention throughout the country.
Physicians watched the case closely
to observe the effect of the anti-toxin
which was rushed here from the Blu
reau Of Animal Industry at Washing
ton to combat the anthrax germ.
This case was the first one in which
the newly discovered serum had been
used in the treatment of human be.
ing. but it had proved successful in
tha treatment of animals.
In all $50 cubic centimeters were
injected in three or more periods.
Following the third injection the
swelling Of the neck which had in
creased alarmingly. was checked and
the patients temperature declined
and decided improvement was shown.
Although the physicians were greatly
encouraged they warned Mr.. Stack
poles relatives that there was dam
ger that his heart would yield to the
poison infection of the malady.
1t is believed that Mr.. Stackpole
caught the disease by his custom of
leaning against hitching post while
conversing with friends at River
Head.
