We heard a prominent farmer

ing made by our merchants to

We we're IN OgallaIa the other
day and incidentally noticed their
commodiOus depot. Some of these
days, perhaps soon, Julesburg is
going to ask for a new depot at
this place. And we believe she
will be justly entitled to make
herself heard. There is no doubt
but what a new depot is much
needed here and the amount of
passenger and freight business
done should Justify the railroad
company looking into the matter,
with a view of considering it seri-
ousIy. Julesburg is on the move
and all things must 60 accordingly.

The latest official figures put the number of enlisted men in the armies of the United States at i,360.000 This is the force that has grown in eight months out of an army that on April l numbered only 10000 men
 Most of them are still in the train ing camps Many of them are not yet disciplined troops, lully equipped and armed for battle.
 But there are 1,360.000 of them, al ready one of the biggest factors Hin denburg is reckoning with for the campaign of 1918.
 To lead them there are over S0,0O0 officers. When the graduates of the second training camp get their first orders the number will be over l00.- oo0-as many officers as there were privates nine months ago.
 The whole military establishment, with the marines and the auxiliary forces thrown in. numbers a million and a half. The expansion that has taken place is as If city smaller than Hartford had grown in eight months to be virtually as big as Philadelpnia.
 Since Xerxes led his million and a half of assorted Asiatics across the Hellespont Europe has seen many a campaign conducted on the grand scale. American battles have been fought as stubbornly. but with smaller forces engaged There were 2.700. .000 enlistments in the Federal army in the Civil war. But many of this number were re-enlistments The highest total engaged at any one time was reached in the last year of the war. On March 5l. 1865, the Union army comprised sso.ooo men

 When Great Britain entered the war 1t was with a much smaller army. The first expeditionary force numbered barely 100000. The Kali ser called 1t a contemptible little army. Yet without its work at Mons Paris might have fallen. One hundred thousand men and the en- couragement they brought to the French were enough to avert defeat in the first year of the war.
