however, is likely to fall 10000 below

to Adiutant General Wood, in charge

declared that his original estimate OF

St. Paul, Mimi, June 6.-Contrary
to the earlier estimates, it is now
believed that the state of Minnesota
will fall short of the 100000 men
that she was expected to register
yesterday. Adjutant General Wood
today expressed the expectation that
the total would fall about 10000 short
of the 100000 estimate.
st. Paul was expected to register

STOLE NAVAL WARFARE IDEA
That's What Happened When the
Gena Was Sunk.


London, June 6.-When a German
seaplane swooped down and dis
charged an aerial torpedo which sank
the British steamship Gena, the Boche
stole one of the pet ideas for naval
warfare which the British admiralty
had been treasuring Over year ago
the English aeroplanes were fitted out
with devices for carrying and dis
charging torpedoes against enemy
ships but the Germans beat them to it.
The idea of aeroplanes attacking in
this fashion is extremely practical, a
British naval authority declared today.
1t is hoped that the United States
will soon start offensive movements
against German ships with this means
of attack. A light gun, loaded with
cordite can be used to fire the torpedo
or a special launching arrangement in
the form of a light basket which
throws the torpedo and enables it to
be aimed.
