Ohio Division Is Full.

udyS lHCluuluS units mODlll2ed Tor fed
eral service and those already in the
federal service, approximately $4,000
men and IT'S officers.
Every one of the necessary units for
a division has been furnished and
many of the units are to or above
maximum war strength. Few more
than 5000 men are yet needed to
bring all units to full division strength.
Those units showing the smallest
strength are the Third and Sixth regi-
ments, engineers, artillery and signal
units already in the federal service.
Recruiting for these units has been
done principally under federal direc-
! tion.
Had they been under the states con-
troll, there is said to be little doubt but
that they, too, would have been re-
cruited approximately to full war
strength. They will be greatly in
creased by transferring surpluses from
other organizations.
After receiving reports on mobiliza-
tion from all commanding officers,
Adjt. Gen. Wood reported to Maj. Gen.
! Barry at Chicago a total guard
| strength Of units not already in the
federal service of 1880 enlisted men
and 576 officers. Those in the federal
service number approximately 4,300
men and 200 officers, Wood says, max
ing the total Ohio division strength
approximately $4,000 men and 776
officers.
The division strength as reported by
AdJt. Gen. Wood and Maj. Gen. Barry
was made up as follows:
First brIaade-Heaquarters, 4 officers.
10 men; Second regiment, SIS officers,
l'S5s men with 1870 recruits to be exam

Issues Financial Review.
Solvency of the Ohio workmen's |
compensation fund is assured and
there is close approach to the ideal
of permanent gross surplus fund of
$1,00O.000. The present total is $780,
65589. This is the assertion of the
state industrial commission in a finan-
cial review just issued.
In another way, the statement
marks an epoch in the history of the
state fund. For long time the issu-
ing of state fund statement was
marked by heated controversy be-
tween the commission and the liability
insurance companies. The commits
sion always refuted charges which the
liability companies always made con-
corning the state fund figures.
Will Cooperate With Cox.
Coal operators of the Massillon, Co
shocton and Amsterdam districts will
with Gov. Cox in keeping
enough coal inside Ohio for Ohio users
and in keeping the price down to $3.50
/ ton at the mines. The action was
aiken at meeting of representatives
If these districts in Cleveland at the
oftce of T. K. Maher of the Purse

See Pro-German Activities.
That gross exaggeration of the
lumber of casualties that have oc-
,urred in the ranks of the army med
cal officers serving on European bat |
lie fronts have been spread by pro- 1
German propagandists, with a view of I
liscouraging needed enlistments by I
American physicians, is indicated in ,
dvices received from Washington at :
he Columbus Office of the Ohio State c
dedical Association. g
A curious similarity in reports that i
ave been proved absolutely untrue, 7
nd the persistence with which they 1
ave been repeated during the drive" 1
0 enlist American physicians is the t
ause of the belief that their cirCula- i
ion has been artificially stimulated.
Will Erect Three Buildings.
Three more buildings soon will be
rected at Ohio State University to h
ost in all $430,000. Plans for the new 7
tructures will probably be completed Il
le first of August. a
The largest building will be the PC W. n
r house, which will cost 100000. b
he present power house is made m
nate and because of this, the new
ne will be pushed to completion as h.
Lst as possible. q,
A woman's building will be con- in
ructed at a cost of $150,OOO and an gl
ldition will be built to the chemistry n
Ill, at a cost of $4,000. IN
Ohio Guards Mobilized.
Ohio is mobilized, $4,000 strong.
er entire national guard was deliv-
ed to the federal government on hi
lily 16.
Not single incident tending to dis b,
pit the mobilization plans has been "
ported. Probably about 5000 men
ere already mobilized in Cleveland Of
'lumbus and Cincinnati, even before
