Cavalry Arm Pleases Authorities
Full Quota Assured.

Western Newspaper Union Jews Service,
Colambus.-There is strong expecta-
zion that many of the large industrial
plants in Ohio will soon be taken over
by the Government. Manufacturing
institutions have been fully surveyed
by the Government and can be made
ready within comparatively short
time to turn out war munitions. In ad-
dition, there are large war munitions
factories in the state which have slow
ed down somewhat, but which can be
started again on short notice. Proprie-
tors are willing to have their plants
taken over, it is stated here. !
Military organization is proceeding
rapidly all over the state and orders
have been issued for the formation of
the new infantry regiment. 1t is being
organized by Major w. P. Love, of
Youngstown. So rapidly has that for
nation been completed that within
week from the date Of the order the
command will be ready to take it's
place in the military organizations of
the state.
Two companies, M and H, Of the
Fifth Regiment, have been transferred
to the new regiment that is to be
known as the Tenth Ohio, and Colonel
C. K. Zimmerman, of the Fifth, has
been authorized to organize two new
companies to fill up his command.
Major Love is to be temporarily in
charge of the new Tenth until the regi-
Mental organization is complete.
/ With the formation of the new regi-
ment Ohio can go ahead and form a
new brigade, the third in the state
1t will be composed of the First, Sew
enth and Tenth Regiments. That will
offer place for Ohio to select the
third Brigadier General of the Guard.
Colonel Huber T. Turney, of Cleve-
land, reported to military headquar-
ters he had tentatively organized a
new battery of artillery at Hiram
where 9 men signed the roll. The new
regiment Of cavalry is booming.
New bodies of troops are being form
ed in many places and are offering
their services. One is under way il
Youngstown, and George Mcconnell, ot
Urbana, offered to complete a full
troop of cavalry there and get it ready
for service.
The interest that is being manifest
ed in the cavalry arm of the service i:
highly pleasing to the authorities here
Indications now are that a full regi
ment is certain to be obtained ant
even more are discussing organization
II there is chance to get into rea
service. Enlistments are going aheat
despite what appears to be an ordel
from headquarters to cease enlistment
for time.

1t is not trifle If America is added to
our long list of enemies. The German
people are confident of victory and we
are confident that the American peo-
pie, either during the war or after the
war, will realize the falsity of Presi-
dent Wilson's policies and that this un-
holy conflict between America and us
will be followed by a new and friendly
cooperation in that noble community
of peoples concerning which President
Wilson formerly used such beautiful
