and having red sash tied around his
middle and cockade in his hat, ap.
peared and rode up and down the
streets, followed by a crowd of admir-
ing small boys.
Then, couple of hours were de-
voted to lemonade, root beer, ginger
bread, and the way we licked them at
Yorktown.
Promptly at one o'clock the mill
tary company turned out. They were
IL strong, and they looked like con-
querors. They rightfaced and they
left-faced, and they marched of, fol-
lowed by the plaudits of the assembled
thousands.
Then the fire company turned out
and squirted water over Deacon
Hempstead's barn, and there was
feeling in every bosom that our town
was safe from a Chicago fire.
There was march to the grove.
There was oratory. There was cheer
ing for everything and everybody.
At night there was fireworks. More
than two dozen skyrockets and Roman
candles sailed into the darkness, and
ten punches of f1recrackers were put
under an empty barrel and lighted at
once.
When midnight came the weary pa
triots retired to their slumbers, and
next morning the only man or boy
who hadn't sore throat, burned nm
gers, or black eye was the man or
boy in some other town not patriotic
enough to celebrate the day.

Militia Below Peace Strength.

Records of the division of militia
affairs of the war department show
that the National Guard OF the coun-
try lacks $4,000 men Of the number re-
ouired to bring 1t up to its supposed
peace strength Of $4,000. 1t is short
by $4,000 men Of its full war strength
Of $4,000.
OF the II divisions existing on pa
ner. only two, the Sixth New York and
the Seventh Pennsylvania, have dlvi-
sional headquarters organized.
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1916-06-30

OF the SO brigades, on paper, max
ing up these divisions only % have
their headquarters organized. Due to
the troops of many Of the brigades
and most of the divisions being from
different states, and the war depart
ment having no regular officers to
spare, there is no one available for
these STATS.
For the 127 regiments Of infantry
and cavalry there should be 635 ma
chine guns. At last reports a few
weeks ago there were but 172 In the
possession of the various regiments.

Most Widely Read Document.

One hundred and forty years have
passed since the Fourth of July, 1776,
when the Declaration was signed, but
that epochal document is still read
and reread with fresh glow. Many a
schoolboy has committed 1t to memory
and all intelligent men are familiar
with its style and with its sts tement
of grievances against the British king.

The ordnance department had only II
available. There were 81 others in
the sea-coast defenses, but they were
needed there.
Transportation Is Of the utmost i'm
portance In any field operation and
this will be particularly true In Mexi-
co. Yet the Sixth New York division
Is the only one with complete regi-
mental and divisional wagon trains.
The Seventh Pennsylvania has COM
plete regimental trains but needs 10
wagons to complete the divisional
trains

you referred to the attacks that have
been made upon you by your oppo-
nents. I'm which you stated that they
had been lying on you. Taht asser-
ton Of yours startled me, for the rea-
son that I was singled out in your
speech as practically the only oppo-
nent you considered in this race.
81 was glad that you remained for
my speech, so that you and the crowd
could see that even If your statement
had been lying on you. That asser-
previous speeches, it was not true in
this instance.
II have never at any time referred
to your record as a congressman, be-
cause frankly speaking, ! do not think
you have ever made a record but
since you did discuss the subject of
your record. ] feel that it is not out
of place now for me to refer to it.
