Like a City in War Time.

All sorts of rumOrs of Outrages
against government property and of
attempts to obtain knowledge Of
military and naval movements have
been circulated in Washington for
days. No matter how substantial these
rumors may seem to be, no newspaper
man writes concerning them. 1t is
realized that it is a dangerous thing
and most hurtful thing to cast suspi-
| cion upon any naturalized citizen or
any unnaturalized one without proof
positive that something besides mere
suspicion attaches. The effect Of
spreading suspicion, the officials know,
would be to arouse resentment and
perhaps actually to make enemies Of
men Of a class which desires to be
| friendly.
Washington is like a city in the
midst of war time except for the alb
senCe Of marching troops. It ought
to be understood that no one in Wash
ington, whether he be Of the army or
of the navy or Of any other service,
wants war. When a word is written
which seemingly is a war word it
should be studied carefully. The stu
alton has been that officials here be-
lieve war was inevitable. No one here
wanted war. He simply feared that it
must come.
Military officers seem to think that 1t
may be necessary one day and perhaps
Immediately to raise an army Of 500,-
600 men. This number they may get
| if the need comes, but the great neces-
sty will be for men who have had
| sufficient training to act as instruct
orS. 1t Is an easy enough thing to say
that the regular army's rank and file
can be drawn upon for drill masters
and for teachers Of the more advanced
! forms of military duty, but every man
in the regular army may be needed for
instant garrison service If not for
instant fighting service.
Civilians May Be instructors.
There are In the United States thou
sands of men in civil life who have
seen service in the regular army. A
public appeal will be made to those
men TO come forward to serve their
country in its stress time The platts-
burg and the Fort Sheridan camp
men, or those Of them who have shown
sufficient training, will be asked to
| take places as instructors in the pri-
mary departments Of army service
within the camps Of the volunteers IL
the country must raise an army.
The whole visible supply Of men suf-
| ficiently trained to do instruction work
will not be equal to the emergency.
Men can be trained in three months
time to point Of ability to serve fair
ly satisfactorily in the ranks, but they
cannot be trained unless there nre men
to train them. So It will be asserted
that our neglect OF preparedness meas.
ures may prove our undong, or II un.
doing be averted, may add months TO
| the time necessary to give us u force
of men adequate in numbers and SUN.
ciently trained to meet the necessities
Of case.
Reports from all over the country
indicate that the recruiting campaign
TO secure enlisted men for the navy
is proceeding satisfactorily.

In the latter part of April. 1898. con.
gress declared war against Spain. Air
Mckinley resisted this step 70 the ut
most and worked as hard as President
Wilson has been working to avoid the
beginning Of hostillties. The United
States was wholly unprepared for war
In 1898, but as il happened she was

anything like as good as her own.
Some of the eastern cities along the
coast were much concerned when the
Spanish war broke out lest they be
bOmbarded. There was not the re-
motest chance of II, and today IL war
should come there is comparatively
small chance that there will be any
great naval fights in American waters.
The Spanish war was less than
twenty years ago, but as one reads the
names of the members of the two
houses Of congress who were in office
at that time he reads largely list
of the dead or the retired. There are
some men in the present congress, how
ever, who had a voice in declaring war
against Spain, but their number Is

Many Deer Licenses Issued.

County Clerk Martin Voetsch has
issued over five hundred deer licenses
this year, and would have issued more
but they were not to be had. There
seems to be cog loose somewhere in
the game, fish and forestry department
at Lansing, for there has never been
so much trouble in getting licenses as
there was this year. They seem to
have been coming in installments u.s.
Ing over some of last years. and at
times the hunters have had to wait for
their tags. We hope this will not
occur again next year.
A few loads of deer have been
shipped out of L'Anse already, and
with the snow of the past few days,
the tables at last turn in favor of the
hunter.

the public domain commission through
John Baird, state game warden, has
adopted plan whereby it is expected
the number of game law violations
will be reduced to a minimum in the
state.
Mr.. Baird'is afraid that the Michigan
partridge will 60 the way Of the pas
senger pigeon. which is now extinct,
and in order to save this game bird
from extinction. he proposes a vigor-
ous campaign to prosecute hunters
who shoot partridge out of season.
"The stste game warden's depart
ment will pay reward of $25 for in
formation which will lead to the ar
rest and conviction Of any person kill
ing partridge out of season." says Mr..
Baird's announcement. "Such infor-
nation as is furnished the department
will be regarded as confidential.
The amount Of reward is expected to
prove attractive to individuals who
might otherwise not consider q viola
tion of sufficient Importance to neglect
their work by taking time to make

The most serious marine accident on
Portage lake in the past season has
come to light. 1t happened Monday
night and involved the loss of a cargo
of approximately 600 bushels of pota-
toes.
The potatoes were the property of

from Skanee. Baraga county, by Capt.
Lundberg, who runs gasoline tug for
commerce between the two points.
The tubers had been gathered from a
number of farmers of Skanee and its
vicinity.
Capt. Lundberg loaded them on a
scow, which he was towing with his
tug. In Portage lake he rem into a
squall, which tossed the scow about so
that all of the potatoes were thrown
into the lake and sunk. They are, Of
course total loss.
The loss Of 600 bushels Of potatoes,
in view of the big yield in Houghton
and Baraga counties, will not have
any effect on the price, bu it is none
the less a serious loss to the COM
mission house. 1t is understood that
the loss will not affect the farmers. =
