series of so-called popular concerts"
which for a generation have been a
weekly feature of the musical season
in London The soloist of the after
noon was Miss Carrie Tubb, perhaps
the most popular of native English

sang with splendid dramatic effect the
famous Battle Hymn of the Republic.
When the first notes of the piano
accompaniment tinkled out there were
some smiles among the audience, who
knew the air principally as used by
the Salvation army to carry relig-
ious song in its open-air meetings.
But the Intense fervor of the singer
swept all before her, and the song
was heard in breathless silence and
hailed with enthusiastic applause.

of "a officers and men; one pioneer
platoon with IS officers and men for
engineer work, and one one-pounder
cannon platoon with 80 officers and
men.
With all the above platoons incor-
porated in the headquarters com
pany of each infantry regiment and
with bombers, rifle grenadiers and
auto rifie-men in each of the IL rife
companies of each infantry regiment,
il will be seen that the infantry
regiment is prepared to do its own
signal work, sapping, engineering and
close range artillery work II 1t should
become isolated from the division to
which it is attached.
Twenty two Combat Wagons.
The transportation required by an
infantry regiment, in addition to the
private mounts Of the officers, will
be as follows: Twenty-Five combat
wagons, Is rolling kitchens, p bag
gage and ration wagons, Is ration
carts. Is water carts. three medical
carts, "a machine gun carts. SO rid
ing horses. eight riding mules, S82
draft mules. two motorcycles with
side cars, eight motor cars and AZ
bicycles.
In aQulLlOu 10 ElIleHt Ddg
bombs, rifle grenades, pistols, auto
matte rifles. machine guns and one
pound shells the infantry regiment
also will be supplied with $50 trench
knives, 40 to each rifle company.
These are said to be handy in fight
ing at close range when one has lost
his pistol or rife.
It can readily be seen that this
plan of organization will result in
material changes in the organization
of the various national guard units,
at present equipped to fight only
with the pistol, rifle and bayonet and
some antiquated machine guns. In
reorganizing the national guard divi-
sion it is probable that state lines
will not be adhered to, and in the
plan some officers
predict the end Of the national guard
as a separate military organization.

ate. This course somewhat threw
awry the plans of senators who were
preparing speeches in reply.
Honest dealing with our allies al
so requires a clear statement OF our
objects" he declared. IF we did
not expect to support them in the
dreams Of conquest that fact should
be stated and our people are entitled
to know that vitality important fact

Common honesty and fair dealing re-
quires the fullest and freest discus

libel and character assassination
against members Of congress who
voted against the war, was attempt
ing to suppress discussion of war is
sues and intimidate the people them
selves by invading their homes and
unlawfully throwing them into jail.
The senator quoted at length from
Mexican war speeches OF Lincoln,
Clay, Webster and Sumner in sup
port of his defense Of the right of a
member Of congress to assau the
policy of the government and dwelt
at length upon the constitutional
duty Of congress rather than the
president to proclaim the nations
purposes in taking up arms. He
made no reference to the inquiry

his speech before the Nonpartisan
league at st. Paul, and dealt with
criticisms Of himself only generally.

Prior to the declaration OF war,
every man who had ventured to OPP

even the President had by no means
