of the Central Home Telephone and
Telegraph Company, Mr.. w. H. Can
knon, local manager and Mr.. Thomas
X. Smith, cashier, have returned from
Louisville, where they attended the
tenth annual convention of the South
ern States Independent Telephone AS
sociation held at the Louisville Hotel
last week.
Mr.. Veatch reports, among many
other good things in connection with
the convention, his instructions to au-
thorize a good substantial increase to
all of the worthy employees in the
Eastern District where no increases
had been made since the first of the
year, which, together with those made
since the first of the year means an
increase for all employees, at Paris,
Carlisle, Cynthiana, Maysville, Law
renceburg, Frankfort and Owenton, as
these are the Offices operating directly
under Mr.. Veatch's personal super
vision. This was quite surprise to
number of the worthy employees, and
useless to say appreciated as it was
expressed by one employee wished we
would have conventions all the time"

BETTER SANITATION NEEDED
FOR NAVAL TRAINING STATION

Chicago, June 3-Serious need of
larger sanitary and medical facilities
at the United States Naval Training
station at Great Lakes, ILL.,, was point
ed out in a report made by DR.. Frank
Billings and which the Illinois State
Council for Defense, of which he is a
member, had under consideration to-
day. The report asserted that the
camp, as built for the housing OF L.
800 men, was excellent, but that it is
totally inadequate for its present pop
ulation of 5000 recruits.
An imperative need, it was said, is
a contagious disease hospital and a
diagnostic laboratory to detect car
riers of meningitis and diphtheria.

HINDENBURG IS WORRYING

St. Paul, Mimi, Dec 18.-The latesc
official figures put the number OF en-
listed men in the armies of the Uniteu
States at one million three hundred
and sixty thousand. This is the force
that has grown in eight months out
of an army that on April l, numbered
only 10000 men. OF these Minnesota
has contributed S,:379 through draft,
5000 in the national guard and 5000
in the regular army.
Most of them are still in the train
ing camps. Many of them are not yet
disciplined troops, fully equipped and
armed for battle. Eut there they are.
100000 of them, already one OF the
biggest factors Hindenburg is reckon
ing with for the campaign of 1918.
10000 Officers.
To lead them there are more than
$4,000 officers. When the graduates
of the second training camp get their
first orders the number will be over
100000 as many officers as there were
privates nine months ago.
The whole military establishment.
with the marines and the auxiliary
forces thrown in, number a million
and a half The expansion tina: has
taken place is as if Duluth has grown
in eight months to be virtually as big
as Philadelphia.
Only $4,000 Men in '65.
Since Xerxes led his million and 4
half of assorted Asiatics across the
Hellespont, Europe has seen many a
campaign conducted on the grand
scale American battles have bee.:
fought as stubbornly but with smaller
forces engaged. There were 2,700,0OO
enlistments in the Federal army in
the Civil war. But many of this num-
ber were re-enlistments. The highes;
total engaged at any one time was
reached in the last year of the war.
On March 81, 1865, the Union army
comprised 9sO,OO0 men.
For the Spanish war an army of
275,OOO was raised and only 10000 saw
service.
The present American army is the
largest armed force the western hem
isphere has even seen.
Bigger Than British War
When Great Britain entered the
war it was with a much smaller army.
The first expeditionary force number
ed barely hundred thousand. The
kaiser called it a contemplate little
army. Yet without its work at Mons,
Paris might have fallen. One hun
dred thousand men, and the encour-
agement they brought to the French,
were enough to avert defeat in the
first year of the war.
1t is the hope of the allies that an
other new force, ten or twelve times
as great, will be enough in the fourth
year OF the war to ensure victory.

added many extensions. He has resid-
ed in it every summer since its pur-
chase
