wandering carelessly about through
the timber, when they hear from not
far distant a "challenge." The COW
has become concerned in the bulls
sudden stop, and has her attention
divided between the disturbance and
her offspring. The calf, feeling the
mothers anxiety, awaits dependently
on her next move.
Although the animals are shown in
prime condition., they have yet to
obtain their longer and thicker
growth of hair and heavy layers of fat
which carry them through the long,
stormy winter, when shelter and food
are hard to find.
Range of Herds Now Small
American elk, which once had a
wide distribution in North America
are now confined chiefly to the states
of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho
In the winter time, when heavy SHOWS
drive them down from the mountains
they are fed in the park by the gov
ernment. During extremely cold
winters there are heavy losses from
starvation. Under the direction OF
the biological survey of the national
partment the losses in recent years
have been greatly reduced.
Congress to the Rescue
Congress sometime ago appropriat.
ed $4,000 for the purchase of an elk
refuge where sufficient hay can be
raised each year for feeding the herds
during the winter. This refuge, com.
prising about 1000 acres, is located
in Jackson Hole, two miles north o1
the town of Jackson, Wyo.
Elk are polygamous, and breed
readily in captivity. The wild herds
in Montana and Wyoming bring ir
large returns to these states, in the
form of hunting licenses, guides fees
and money spent by tourists and
sportmen.
Many elk now in captivity are pri
vately owned, and a census of such
elk is made annually by the depart
ment of agriculture through it's bio
logical survey. 1t is estimated thai
there are about 1900 elk in captivit,
in about 1875 different places in the
United States; the total number, wild
and in captivity, in this country be
ing estimated at between $4,000 ant
10000.

then alderman from the First ward
of New York City, as the referee.
The Sheriff Appears
"After all the preliminaries had
been completed and the referee was
about to call the men to the center of
the ring, the sheriff and posse of
deputies put in an appearance. The
sheriff had book of the statutes of
the state with him relating to prize
fighting, aiding and abetting or wit
Messing a felony which he read aloud
and then asked the mob to disperse.
"They laughed at him, hooted him
told him to go home and tend to his
farm, etc. They paid no more atten-
ton to him than if he were school
boy.
"Geogheghan was regarded as one
of the toughest rough and tumble
fighters and wrestlers in New York,
and his friends looked upon him to
whip Orem easily by throwing and
falling heavily on him. Their reckon
ing was sadly amiss, however, for
Geogheghan discovered he had met
his master in the very first round.
Geogheghan Staggered
"Both men responded promptly to
the call of time. 1t was then plain
that Orem had the advantage of
height and reach, but was not as
heavy as the New Yorker.
"Geogheghan was the first to lead
and he landed heavily on Orem's
mouth and got away before return
could be delivered. Orem spared for
an opening, which came, and as quick
as a flash he let drive right-hand
blow on Geogheghan's jaw which
made him stagger.
"Geogheghan now led again, but
clinched and relied on his wrestling
ability to win out. In this matter he
again met his superior, for Orem
threw him heavily. Orem seemed tc
forget all about his surroundings and
fought as though he was in the hands
of his friends.

repetitions of the first, only filled
with more rowdyism and despicable

placed on exhibition in the west wing
of the new building for the United

While there are still many thou
sand elk in the country, it was con-
sidered advisable to gather speci-

pick from large herds was still here,
so the animals in the exhibit were
especially collected for the Smithson-

of the Interior department, from one
of the herds Of elk under government

THE PEOPLE MUST e L

1t is but trite to say that the most
exciting pages in the history of the
world are now being written in blood
and tears. Conan Doyle may write a
new Sherlock Holmes story and Col
lier's may illustrate it, as that paper
did last week, but that story is not
half so absorbing as the simple nara
tive of how Walter Greenway became
one of the heroes of the war. Each
day before the eyes of the reader is
spread a new chapter of the story of
the war. And not infrequently in the
same paper one reads of acts so fine
that he is lifted up spiritually and of
crimes so unspeaakably horrible that
he will lose his faith in humanity If he
stops long to think. For instance,
who is not thrilled when he reads
about Highland Wilson of the High
land infantry, who captured, single
handed and in the fact of a CALLING
fire, a machine gun from the Germans ?
This same Scotch boy had stood in a
trench for three days with water up to
his chin and only two crackers to eat.
Or, coming nearer home. who is not a
little prouder that he is an American
when he reads the story of how young
GO4 HuWu4uS 41c1uO II pOSS4O4S "
dress the wounds of soldiers without
giving pain? This young American,
through his willingness to sacrifice
everything. has made for himself a
name. that will go ringing down the
ages. One cannot read the story of
Edwards discovery without coming to
the conclusion that he was inspired
by God.
But over against these deeds of he
roic achievement and many others
that history will record is the story
of the march of the German army
through Belgium. Oh, that march!
1t is the sadest story told since that OF
the Crucifixion. Death and slaugh-
ter of the ~innocents. suffering beyond
| conception make w a story so sangui-
nary and cruel and revolving that in
later years amazement will be felt
that such things could happen in the
twentieth century of civilization and
progress.
This war is, a story stained with
blood and tears and unparalleled suf-
fering, but it marks the progress of a
new. great, world-movement for the
betterment of mankind, for the deDo'
| sition of the despots and the transfer
nation OF monarchies ruled by a few.

ANTHRAX GERMS FOUND
ON CAROLINA BANDAGES.
James H. POu Reveals Fact That En-
envy of Country Tried DeVilish Trick
i'm State-W0man was the Criminal.

Anthrax germs impregnated band
ages made by Red Cross workers in
North Carolina and this conditino was
discovered at Red Cross headquarters
in Washington, James III. Pou said
here yesterday in the course of his
address in the Municipal theater says
the Greensboro News. He was dis
cussing the widespread activity of
German agents in this country, and
the viciousness of their attacks.
According to Mr.. Pou a governess
in a North Carolina household fell un-
der suspicion when investigation was
made, and a detective was put upon
her trail. She left the state. went
west, reached Los Angeles and at
tempted to leave the country, but is
now under surveillance there. This
sensational revelation was made by
the speaker without any explanation
of the source of his information and
caused a ;. deal of comment here.
Mr.. POu did not state from what
section of North Carolina the band
ages were sent, which had the germs
upon them. Speculation following
his statement located the source of the
bandages in one Of two Dr. three local
tiles where a "~governess" would be
| apt to feel at home. There are COM
| paratively few localities in North Car
DINA where such attendants are found,
but this questionable logic may be al
together unsound.
The speaker said the use of soup
instead of milk for the anthrax culture
was responsible for the discovery OF
the germs at headquarters. The soup
discolored the bandages and led to ex-
animation. The investigation showed
the germs in plenteOus number and
this may have caused the general
warning sent throughout the country
some time ago to Red Cross workers
to be careful of their garments and
bandages.
This is not the only discovery OF
virulent germs which enemies of the
country have made of us or tried to
utilize to spread disease and death
But that it was upon North Carolina
bandages that the dangerous germs
were discovered will be news to the
state.

SECOND CALL FOR DRAFT ARMY
MAY COME IN DECEMBER,
More Than 100000 of First Increment
Still to be Assebled4Quarters Ready
For Full Brigade. i

Washington, Oct. 13.-Discussion
the advisability OF expediting the call
for the second increment of the draft
army now is in progress at the war
department and it apears likely that
the date may be fixed for some time in
december or January.
Mobilization OF the first increment
of $4,000 men is now far enough adj
vanced to show clearly that there will
be a big deficiency Tor the seventeen
national army divisions. More. than
100000 of the first increment are still
to be assembled, but it already is evi-
dent that here will be available at
the sixteen environments quarters for
an additional regiment at each post
and~at some for a full brigade of two
regiments.
The strength of the new regimental
organization is $500 men. With d
regiment lacking at each cantonment,
this alone would NEAR a shortage OF
nearly $4,000 men. In addition. there
has been authorized a separate diYi-
sion of negro troops, which meang
nearly 10000 men withdrawn from.
the original number assigned to the
sixteen environments.
Cause of Shortage.
The shortage is due partially to the.
necessity of taking out of the national
army men to fill up national guard
divisions. Two complete army dfvi-
sions- of southern troops have been
absorbed in this way. The remnants
of three other southern national army
divisions will be consolidated to form
a single division unit, and the surplus
men from other camps Will be sent
sought to make up the missing divi-
siOns.
Drafts on the national army fl rces
mast be made to fill up the enlisted
personnel of the aviation service, the
medical corps and the service bat
talions needed behind the fighting
lines abroad. Eventually there VIII
be $50. 900 men in the last named SER
vice alone. and aviation and the med
ical Twice will take nearly as many
moro though not all of them will be
taken from the national army.
Operating to delay the calling out
