SMALLPOX lNVADES GERMANY

Washington. D. C.-About thirty
thousand casss Of smallpox rage in
Germany and the disease is spreading.
according to the speech of Socialist
Reichstag member Hoffman, received
by the state department in full.
Brief portions of the speech were
received by the press in this country
recently.
The full text showed that Hoffman
charged that the rich were getting
the fats while the poor had none; the
government was actually boarding
sausages with which the poor ought
to be fed; that smallpox is spreading
rapidly and that the vaccination en-
ployed against it was proving futile.
The speech showed a far more dis
tressing situation in Germany than
many reports thus far reaching the
department.
1t strengthened the belief caused
by recent rumors that conditions are
ripe for a real revolution in Germany.

ROOSEVELT TO RAISE ARMY

New York.-Col. Theodore Roose-
welt is planning to raise an army of
100000 men, instead of division of
10000 as was his first intention.
Many wealthy men have expressed a
desire to enlist or to back his expe-
dition with all the funds needed. He
is now awaiting his commission from
the war department before putting
his scheme into realization. The mo-
bilization of the troops could hardly
be accomplished in this country, as
the risk in transporting such body
would be too great, The plan is to
gather the men in England and then
proceed to France.

swept over this place late Friday af.
ternoon, demolishing scores Of resi-
Gences and many industrial plants.
Forty-three bodies have been dug

The lighting system for the resi-

OF commission by the storm, and the
work of rescue is proceeding slowly.
In addition to the bodies taken out
20 the undertaking establishments,
many were carried to private homes.
The storm struck the Corydon pike,
about two miles from New Albany
and moved southwest. Entering the
city at State street, near Haly, It cut
through three blocks. At the inter
section Of State and Pearl streets it
left the ground and then struck it
again at Vincennes street and the
the Charleston road, nearly a mile
away. AL that point the dwellings in
three blocks were demolished.

Estimates Dead at 100.
a. M. Floyd, New Albany manager
of the Southern Telephone Co., esti-
mated the number ofdead at 100 and
asserted that it might reach 200 The
estimate was made, he said, after a
hurried inspection of the storm-swept
area, and was based upon the condi-
ton of the wreckage and the number
OF persons reported missing.
Circuit Judge John G. Paris said 45
persons were known to be dead and
that this number would be largely in
creased. The majority of those killed
and injured, said the Judge, were

FACTS ABOUT THE
 ARMY

Much has been said and written since the beginning of the present crisis as to the army and navy of the United States. Not since the war with Spain have all things military come in for such a large share of public attention. In this connection it may be remarked as a rather peculiar fact that the average layman, no matter in which section Of the country he may reside, is better informed as to matters relating to the navy than to matters relating to the army. On the other hand, the composition of the higher units of the army is a mystery to most persons, who read of field armies. army crops, brigades CT divi- sionS without being able to compre- hcnd them.
 The smallest administrative unit of the army is the company of infantry, engineers, or signal corps; the troop of cavalry or the battery of artillery. The higher organizations are made up as follows:
 Battalion, infantry-FOur cCmpan- ies, commanded by a major. 1 Battalion, engineer com panies.
 Battalion, artillery QighD-Three | batteries
 Battalion, artillery (heavy)-Two 1 batteries.
 Squadron, cayalry-Four troops. | Regiment, infantry-Twelve com- panies riflemen, supply company, headquarters company and machine gun company, commanded by colonel.
 Regiment, engineers-SiX compan- l ies.
 Brigade, infantry regiments of infantry, commanded by brlgadier- i general.
 Brigade, cavalry regiments Brigade, artillery-Three regiments.

WORTH REMEM 6ERsNG
THE MEXICAN FLANK.

Carranza's reported Well-Wishes to the kaiser and his cali to other neu tral nations to conclude an arrange ment for an embargo on all material to the belligerent nations of Europe, indicate once more that the de facto provisional generalissiino presidentio of the Mexican government is q natural born hater of the united States and anything it stands for.
 If we are forced to enter the great war against Germany, Carranza Will be for the kaiser, and will work fo:- him. Probably if by some hocus pocus we were to fight England il = stead of Germany, Carranza would be for Great Britain.
 Carranza is "agin'" us, no matter what we do.
 Unfortunately, the Mexican border is sort of exposed flank to this na- tion. German agents would have easy sailing across the Rio Grande. Money in that unfor; ;lnate country talks to Villiastas and Carranzistas alike. It could create border trou- ble that would keep us busy, no doubt. This little possibility is known to Germans and MeXicans alike, and 1t ought 10 be more fully understood by us as well
 If Carranza got serious ill his en- bargo ideas, # would mean the shut ting down of the great Tampico oil wells, the greatest in the world, whence the British fleet is getting it's oil. There is no doubt in the world that Great Britain would not stand for it. The probability is that ma rines would be landed to work the wells. And maybe German agents would see that they were destroyed, etc. The possibilities are endless, and they are serious enough to indur, Carranza to think he is a serious fac tor in the world war, ely probably.
 The Tampico oil wells are n.. owned by MeXicans; and not MeXi- can, except the iaborels, gets a peso because of the wells in Mexico. This fact of course, is one that would not have tendency to hold back the Mexican government from insidious plots.
 Yes, this war business has endless possibilities. Yet Carranza to us is nc. much of a possibility, but rather probability-or 3 liability.
