GRANTED LICENSE TRANSFER.
John ]. cayhue to Have First-c Class Sa-
loon at 24S North Main Street.

After hearing before the license com.
mission IN the council chamber at city
hall this morning at 0 o'clock, John j
Cayhue was granted a transfer of his
| first class license from 303 North Main
street to 24s North Main street. in the
building recently purchased from the
Granite Savings Bank & Trust Co. by
George NJ. Marion. A. w Badger, who
conducts a furniture store in the Morse
block, on premises adjoining the Marion
property, objected 10 the transfer on the
ground that license in that location
would decrease his business 25 per cent
&c. W. Perry, who admitted that he is the
legal owner of the Morse block. said that
such a move would mean loss of 81
900 per year to him. Mr.. Badger pre-
sented petition, signed by several bus
mess men, obiecting 10 the transfer.
In presenting his ease, Mr.. Cayhue
questioned the consistency of the pro
testants in objeeting 10 legalized es-
tablishment. when it was obvious, as he
said. that they had failed to protest the
alleged illicit sale OF liquor on the same
premises as well as at the rear of the
Morse block Mr. Cayhue intimated that
he proposed to do good deal in the way
of cleaning up the premises at No. PAS.
In granting the transfer, the license
stated that no legal OBJ
jections had been raised in the matter.
After the hearing adjourned, licensees
of the second class were arraigned on
the carpet to answer to charge that a
disclosure by a posted man in city court
recently had included all licenses OF the
second class. Licensees strenuously dis
puted the disclosure, and the hearing ad

KITCHENER BUILT
ARMY OF 100000
Starting with Trained Force of Only a
Few Hundred Thousand Men, He De-

Army World Has Seen.

Earl Kitchener was appointed secre-
tary of state for war in August 1914, a
few days after Great Britain declara-
tion Of war on Germany. He was regard
81 as England's greatest soldier, and not
withstanding the criticism directed
against him, Kitchener's great accom-
plishments during the war were univer-
sally recognized. The foremost of his
achievements was the creation from Eng
lands unframed manhood OF a huge
army. At the beginning of the war
Great Britain had only few hundred
thousand trained men. To-day more than
5o00000 are enrolled in the various
branches OF the service.
All other great powers that entered the
war had huge standing armies and com
pulsory military service Great Britain
alone faced the issue with confidence
that its people would readily respond to
the call OF king and country without
