By way Of making the country ready
to assert some part OF Its real power
promptly and upon a larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
contemplates experimenting the army
by a force of 100000 disciplined citi-
zens, raised in increments of $4,000 4
year throughout 4 period of three
years. This it IS proposed to do by
process of enlistment under which the
seryiceablc men Of the country would
be asked to bind themselves TO serve
with the colors for purposes of train
ing for short periods throughout three
years and to come to the colors at call
at any time throughout an additional
"furlouch" period Of three years. This
force of 100000 men would be Pro
vided with personal accouterments as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the field made ready to be supplied
at any time They would be assem-
bled for training at stated intervals ut
convenient places III ISooIletiou Win
suitable units Of the regular army
Their period Of annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months in
the year.
1t would depend upon the patriotic
feeling Of tile younger men Of tho
country whether they responded to
such a call to service or not. 1t
would depend upon the patriotic spirit
of the employers of the country wheth-
er they made it possible for the young
er men in their employ to respond I'M
der favorable conditions or not. for
one do not doubt the patriotic devotion
either of our Young men or of those
who give them employment-those for
whose benefit and protection they
would in fact enlist. ! would look
forward to the success of such an ex-
pertinent with entire confidence.
At least SO much by way of prepara-
ton for defense seems to me to be alb
solutely imperative now. We cannot

ANTHRAX won OUT
Mysterious Disease Finally Over
comes New York Lawyer.

New York, Oct. 15.-George F.
Stackpole, the lawyer of Riverhead,
Long Island, who was stricken with
anthrax several days ago, died in
Bellevue hosital early today, of heart
failure resulting from poison of the
disease.
Mr.. Stackpoie's death came after a
rally which caused his physicians to
believe the most serious phase of the
disease had passed. He was conscious
until within five minutes before he
died and told his wife he realized
death was near.
The determined struggle made by
Stackpole, who was II years old, and
the unusual nature of his disease,
common to cattle, but rare among
human beings, attracted attention
throughout the country.
Physicians watched the case close
ly to observe the effect of the anti
toxin which was rushed here from the
bureau of animal industry at Wash
ington to combat the deadly anthrax
germ.
In all $50 cubic centimeters were
injected in three or more periods
Following the third injection decided
improvement was shown. Although
the physicians were greatly encour-
aged, they warmed Mr.. Stackpole's
relatives that there was danger that
his heart would yield to the poison in
fectiOn of the maladV.
