MIDWEST TO FURNISH
235, 900 FOR BIG ARMY

Washington, April 0.--The SIX

Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota will be called

the total number of troops to be
raised by all the states.
The army bill prepared for
submission to congress provides
for ''proportionate quotas to be
supplied from the respective
states, determined upon popula-
tion." Apportioning these quo
tas on the basis of congressional
representation, the plan which
the arInE has in view will make
the following demand for re-
cruits from the six middle West
ern states:
Illinois .........s.....s.........
Indiana ......s..s..s..s..ss.... 30, 800

Michigan Observation-Disclosures. 3d. 61
wisconsin ....................... .Su,54S
Minnesota ......................... $50
Total ..................... .234, 515
These figures are arrived at by
fixing each congressional district
quota at 2,759, emitting frac-
tons, the number required from
each of the 435 districts to make
the army Of 100000.

) Sarah Bernhardt.

The stage, like many other artistic
channels, has been paying its toll to
death with startling rapidity during
the past two years, and it seems that
we are now at the eve of the passing
of Sarah Bernhardt, the worlds
greatest actress.
There is no hesitancy in naming
Bernhardt as the greatest actress, for
though Duse was the finest, her ca
reer will never stand forth like that
of the divine Bernhardt.
Imperishable is the latest adjective
that has been used in the description
of the French -tragedienne, and it is
very fitting one Several years ago
the world prematurely mourned the
loss of the famous woman when at
the time of the amputation of her leg
her end was hourly expected. But
with that supreme will which has
characterized every epoch of her ca
reer, she conquered, and we were
able to enjoy again her wonderful
artistry.
1t is to be hoped that her present
illness, which is reported to be of a
very serious nature, will pass again
as her indomitable spirit battles for
life, and that few more years of
enjoyment of her splendid work will
be given to those who love her.
If the final hour in the great wo-
mans life has arrived, however, her
loss viii but intensity the betterment
of the world through her having lived
in it.
