He knew now what death was. He
could tell II farther than man. He
could smell II In the air. And he knew
that there was death all about him,
and that he was the cause Of II. He

Springfield, Jan. s.-Gov. elect
Frank o. Lowden and the other Re
publican state officers-elect were in
aUgurated before a joint session of
the Fiftieth Illinois general assembly
in the hall Of representatives today
in one of the most brilliant cere-
monies ever held in connection with
this quadrennial event.
Despite the fact that admittance to
the actual ceremony was restricted
to, 1000 persons, incoming trains
early today brought to the city thou
sands of persons who desired to get
a glimpse Of the new governor and
first lady of the state.
The parade, preceding the actual
Inauguration in the hall of represen-
tatives, formed at 1890 o'clock>this
morning at the Leland hotel, where
GoV.-elect Lowden and his party of
other officers and their wives have
been staying since yesterday.
Leading the parade was a platoon
of Springfield police. AdTt Gen.
Frank S. Dickson and his aides fol-
lowed in an automobile. Then came
the Hamilton club of Chicago, the
Central Illinois Republican league of
Peoria, the National Young Mems
Republican league and the Young
Mems Republican club Of Springfield.
The organizations walked.
Following the marching clubs were

SECOND CALL MAY BE ISSUED
SOON.

Washington, Sept. 26.-There is
little doubt that large deficiency of
men will be shown when the first in
crement of the national army-687-
600 men-has ben modified.
Seventeen national guard divisions
must be brought up to war strength
and several special service forces or
ganized out of this reservoir, so the
number of drafted men remaining at
the cantonments hardly will be suf-
ficient to organize the sixteen ma
tional army divisions at full
strength basis. Whether incomplete
divisions will be formed or call
for more men be issued has not been
indicated.
The fighting strength of the new
divisions is now fixed at 27,500 mon.
The seventeen guard divisions on that
basis will have total strength of
437, 500.
The guard probably brought into
the federal service q total Of not
more than 100000 men, probably
less. 1t will take therefore at least
127, 900 national army men to fill up
the guard divisions. Another 100000
of the national army will go to the
air service, and certainly as many
more to other special services. That
would leave not moro than 250,000
men to form the sixteen national
army divisions. which should have an
aggregate war strength Of $4,000

GERMAN PLOTS
ARE REVEALED
Imperial Government Had Plans
to Conquer the World, Accord
ing to Confession Made to
Dewey by Hun Officer.

Washington Sept. 24.-Prcdiction
that Germany would wage war for
world-conquest in about fifteen years
was made to the late Admiral Dewey
at Manila in 1898, by Captain Won
Goetz, of the German imperial navy,
Senator Lewis today told the senate.
Quoting n report from Admiral
Dewey to the navy department, the
Illinois senator said that Won Goctz
told the American naval officer that
Germany would captu.e Paris as the
first step to subjugating England.
The taking of New York and Wash
ington was to follow, in order that
Germany might secure an enormous
cash indemnity.
The wiping out of The Monroe Doc
trine and the control of South Amer
lea by Germany also was predicted
by the German officer, said Senator
Lewis, who was discussing peace ne
gotiations. For some reason the gov
ernment had not given the report
circulation, Senator Lewis continued,
but in the face Of it now "any sena-
tor who speaks here or elsewhere
against any measure of his country
lends himself to the enemy"
Characterizing the German reply
toPope Benedict's peace note rs
"Prussian peace hyprocricy" and an
affront both to the pope and Presi-
dent Wilson, Senator Lewis scored
what he termed "laggard patriotism"
and those who urge against war.

HOW is AN ARMY DIVIDED2
A c,,hcnr;l,o,. rnur.

A subscriber says:
1--WE are all interested in war
matters these days. Tell us how an
army is divided and number of men
in each division"
Perhaps few people know the
number of men included in the diff
erent divisions. The numbers vary ac-
cording to contingencies and circum-
stances.
A company is supposed to consist
of 100 men, but often $50 men are
included. The next division is the
battalion, which consists 500 or moro
men. The regiment is composed of
about 1900 men commanded by q
colonel
A Brigade consists of not less than
2 regiments, and may be larger
A division consists of two or more
brigades, and the corps the largest
army unit, and is composed of a full,
complete army in itself, consisting Of
infantry, cavalry, artillery etc. all
complete.
The divisions of the army organ
izations have ben changed frequently
since the beginning of this war, but
the above statement is practically
correct.

show that we are not prepared yet to

Big ''SEND Off"
GIVEN THE BOYS
Whole Town and Community at
Train to Bid Farewell to Sol
diers Going to Training Camp
at Petersburg.

Last Saturday S8 of our boys were
mobilized here for the training cam
tonment at Petersburg, and left us
with cheers in our hearts and tears
in our eyes. More people were ut the
station to see them off than have con-
gregated there for long time and
still the crowd was not as big us the
crowd will be when the boys come
back. Among "those present" were
two boys who attracted n good deal
of attention and "went Off" also, but
not on the train. These were Billy
Chapman and Bobby Platt Bobby
, delivered himself of speech that the
soldier boys will remember in the
trenches if the war lasts long enough
and Billy led the singin' in voice us
remarkable for its volume rs for its
cultivation, but moro striking in it's
patriotic fervor than either.
PlpttS speech was II dandy, sure
enough-ha told tho other boys the
things they wanted to know: the
greatness of their country and the
cause" they are defending: the
wealth Of the country behind them
and let them feel that il was all theirs
to the last dollar. 1t was the speech
OF an optimist, prophet and pa

patriots just entering on their first
great adventure in defense of their
country and tho liberty of the hu-
man race. But, though Billy and
Bobby were descrvcdly conspicuous,
they mustn't be led to believe that
they were the whole show. There
were hundreds there to bid the boys
God speed, and these ranged from
their grandsires down, (or up) to the
sweethearts beside them, and perhaps
holding hands, (how they will re-
members that hand clasp, and all
these regarding them as their soldier
boys and their defenders.
it was great day FOR the boys; n
sad but proud day for their sircs, and
grandsircs and mothers and sweet
hearts, thrilling day for the Red
Cross workers. who were just begin
ming their campaign of ministration;
sad, proud, a thrilling day for all.
And rs for the boys who have left
at the call of the country they will
have our prayers, our sympathlcs,
and our love. JOHN.
