Of infantry, cavalry, artillery and other
branches Of the service.
It would take time TO get clothing. In
the Spanish war. two months after war
was declared, regiments showed up at
concentration camps In civilian CLOTH
ing. Still more time would be needed
to get ammunition and artillery. Rifles
for a million troops could be provided
without any great delay.
But how would several hundred new
regiments Of troops be drilled Where
would the trained men come from to
drill them?
1T would be like the blind leading
the blind" said an army officer.
Suppose 800 new regiments had to be
put into the field. Based on the
strength of an infantry regiment, this
would be about a half million green
troops. Roughly, they would require
$4,000 officers. Where could they be
had? It is obvious the country does
not have them.
Regulars Would Be Shifted.
General Grant once voiced the idea
that it would have been better when
the civil war broke out to have dis
solved the regular regiments and scat
tered the trained men in those organi-
cations among the volunteer regiments
in order to help train those forces. The
war department would be compelled to
transfer large numbers Of officers. nom
commissioned officers, and well-trained
privates from regular organiEati ons to
VOLUNTEER organizations II 1t found
enough material to drill big green
army in the fashion it should be
drilled.
Probably many men who served in
tee Spanish war and had experience
d-:lling and handling troops would be
called back, given chance to brush
up. and put to work hammering re-
cruits into shape. In fact the govern
ment would have to reach out to every
quarter possible and utilize trained
men in the formation OF the new army.
Modern war is deadly to commissioned
officers and one Of the gravest prob
lens before the war department would
be to provide men to lead companies
and regiments, to say nothing of larger
units. AS for enough trained non-com-

Should Miss Kate King, for the last
twenty years an active welfare worker
in Topeka. be assigned to police de-
partment welfare work, as is now
being contemplated by Mayor J. E.
House, the appointment promises to
open up a brand new vein of trouble
between certain county charity and
welfare associations and the city ad
ministration.
1t has been announced by Mayor
House that Miss King is being tried
Out for a month for the position and
this is preceded by the announcement
that Miss Eva Corning has been fired
and in all probability Mrs. Elizabeth
Arthur will share a like fate. An
nouncement of Miss Corning's request
ed resignation has aroused no little
comment throughout the city.
1t is known that in times past, the
Kings who are the city'S most valued
charity and humane workers, and the
poor commissioners office and charity
associations have come to tiffs.
When c. N Bacon, poor commits
sioner, heard of Miss Kings appoint
ment and the discharge of Miss Corn

telephone and asked why
Just a little politics. Charlie was
the mayors reply, according to the
poor commissioner.

ITS CLAPPER REMOVED SEBASTIAN IS WINNER
And Liberty Bell Gets Steel Spider as
Life Proionger.

Philadelphia, May 5.-The clapper
which had hung inside the Liberty
Bell for 126 years has been removed
and a spider of structural steel has
been inserted on the inside of the
relic.
The spider or steel skeleton
stretches it's six metal fingers down
underneath the bell and at points of
equal distance around the Clipped
edges clasps the bell tightly so that
the crack in it may be prevented, if
possible, from growing wider. The
of the clapper led to the
spread of a report that it had been
stolen and Chief Ball, of the bureau
of city property, was kept busy deny
ing the rumor. He explained that the
clapper has been stored away safely in
fine hall
