Governor of Wisconsin
Cannot Appoint Senator
tStaT Correspondence

MILWAUKEE. Oct. 22.-According to
the statutes of Wisconsin the only way
in which the Governor can fill the va
cancy in the United States Senate made
by the death of Senator Paul O. Hust-
ing is TO call an extra session of the
Legislature. Attorney General Owen
said:
II think the Governor has not the
power to appoint successor. A public
election will have to be held. The Leg
islature has the right to confer upon
the Governor power to appoint a sue
cessor, but as there are no statutes
enacted to that effect the Legislature
will have TO be called in special ses-
sion.'
There has been talk of an extra SEES
sion in December to enact war meas
ures, and it is thought by many m
authority that Governor Phillip will
include in his call for this session the
appointment OF a United States Sena-
tor.
Senator Husting was mortally
wounded while hunting ducks. He and
his brother were rowing in separaee
boats. The Senator saw flock OF
ducks and called to his brother to
shoot Then he suddenly rose from q
STOPPING position, evidently thinking
the shot would pass over his head. His
brother, aiming at the ducks, pulled
the trigger. The full discharge pene-
trated the Senator's back at close
range. The accident happened late in
the afternoon, but death did not result
until II D. m. Part of the time the
Senator was conscious.

Germany Has 7,O0O,O 900,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-At least
$4,000 600 men are bearing arms i'll the
war-27, SOC, 900 on the side Of the world
allies and 100000 on the side Of the
Central Powers, according to latest
War Department compilations from
published reports in various countries.
These figures do not include naval per-
sonnet strength, which would raise the
total several millions.
Against Germany's 100000, Aus
tria's 100000, Turkeys 100000 and
Bulgara's 100000 are arrayed the fol-
lowing armed forces: Russia, 5000 600;
France. 5000 900; Great Britain. 5,0OO,-
600; Italy, 3,000,000; japan, 1,4Oo, 900;
the United States, more than 1000 900;
China, 541 ,O00 Rumania, 100000; Ser
bia, 300 900; Belgium, 10000; Greece,
300 1000; Portugal, 100000; Montene-
gro, 10000; Siam, $4,000; Cuba, 1000,
and Liberia, 400. San Marine and Pan
ANA also have small forces under arms.
Military experts do not regard these
figures as entirely accurate, but believe
they represent in round numbers the
comparative strengths of the contend
ing armies as publihed recently. The
War Department has many confidential
REPORTS on the forces of the Allies and
considerable data concerning enemy
armies, but this information Is not
made public.

high cost of living. Flynn, 1t was
stated. was in Washington and might
return to-day.
The effect of the publication Of the
plans under consideration in Washing
ton regarding cotton held by Germans
and American spectators who are
playing Germany's game was felt on the
New York Cotton Exchange. Squaring
with information that had previously
reached the exchange from Washington
and Southern sources, the result was
lower prices, various months breaking
from So to SO bale. Prices recovered
toward the close, but there was notice
able abatement of pull enthusiasm.
That there are large stocks of cotton
held in the South for German account
was denied in some quarters. The chief
denial came from 2 large house whose
name has figured in the Bolo Pacha
case. Its representatives, however, ad-
mitted that there we're larger stocks of
cotton held in Southern ports and the
interior in the past.
Other cotton men with excellent con-
nections In Washington took the posi-
tion that, while the existence of this
cotton and the activities of govern
ment agents are known, it would take
some time for the machinery of the
government to get into action. They
believe that eventually the supply of
the staple being held to the embarrass-
ment of this government and its allies
would be materially reduced.
