day to the sixteen environments to
be trained for the battle against
German autocraCv. Their next
move will be as fighting men to-
ward the battle fields of Fra1ce.
The whole nation will be astir
with the movement Of the selective

imately As per cent of the total
quota under the first call from each
Of nearly 5000 local boards. Al.
ready at the camps is the advance

composed of experienced men. in
GLIDING cooks. Out of this has
been created a skeleton organiZa-
ton into which the second incre-
ment will begin to be absorbed with
little confusion. When the last men
OF this increment arrive the camps
will house half of the first call
forces, or 343,5 men, and the 9th.
er shalf will follow as rapidly as
quarters and equipment are made
available.
In statement Tuesday night the
war departmentsays the enormou S
task .of obtaining equipment and
supplies for the army is moving
satisfactorily. Some of the men
of the national army may be only
partly equipped for some time at
ter they are modified and no at
tempt will be made to furnish them
with full war equipment until the
eve of their departure for Europe.
Some civilian clothing. such as
overcoats, will have to be used for
a time, as the clothing industry has
not as yet caught up with its work,
With the mobilization Of one-half
of the 687000 men of the first call
under the selective service law in
progress, the. question arises to
whether that number of men will
be sufficient to fill all units of the
national guard and national army.
There are indications that a defici.
ency in men will be disclosed.
Since the President called the
first $4,000 men of the national
army. the signal corps, including
the aviation section has been great
ly expanded. Nearly 100000 addi-
tional men must be transferred to
this service alone. The medical
corps also has been greatly increas.
ed and numerous necessary auxili-
airy units for duty abroad. not
thought of when call was made,
have been organized. Where en-
listed men Of the guard or the reeu-
lar army are taken. their places
will have to be filled with national
army men.

In every instance the performance was

experience with these cattle has, how
ever, been on what are popularity
known as the y. |. Il. Ranches In
Texas, owned by the Capitol Syndicate.
Up to and including 1892 there were
purchased for the y. l. 4. ranges not
far from 5000 bulls, of which Aber-
deen-Angus comprised not quite II per
cent, Herefords, about 80 per cent, and
Shorthorns not quite 30 per cent, and
small proportion of Aberdeen-Angus
was due to the fact that until few
years previous 1t was a breed compare
lively unknown in this country. Its
numbers were inconsiderable ard bulls
were hard to get, selling at much
higher figures than those of any other
breed.
Originally the Y. I. T. Ranch COM
prised 100000 acres OF land in the
Panhandle Of Texas. The cattle with
which II was stocked came largely
from the country tributary TO the
Texas & Pacific Ry. and were of bet
ter average quality than those COM
mon to the country. About the early
nlnetles most of the bulls purchased
were purebreds, and after 1892 moth
ing but purehreds were bought. The
range, averaging about 200 miles north
and south and % miles east and west
and being all fenced and cross-fenced
offered good opportunities to test the
three breeds under practically similar
conditions and. after few years, the
pastures In which each were kept be-
gan to show the respective breed char
acteristics. Every year, by careful Sc
lection Of breeding bulls and careful
culllng OF undesirable females-unde-

herds rapidly assumed to all appear

begun the Shorthorn breed was well

Chicago police for assault with
deadly weapon, and two days later
was fined $3.50 and costs and SEN

for assault with deadly weapon and
fined SIS. Frank Nannery was booked
for disorderly conduct and fined SIC
and costs.
During all the time that the shoot-

police station was not notified, so that
these dangerous men could be taken
into custody. and the bartender went
so far as TO return the gunito the

WISCONSIN HOUSE
FOR REFERENDUM
Prohibitionists Win in Opening Bat-s
tie by So to 81 Vote

The drys have won the first battle
in their war for dry Wisconsin, in
Guiding Milwaukee.
The Evjue BILL fathered by young
Madison newspaper publisher, FORM
erly Chicago newspaper reporter,
today passed the state Assembly and
goes to the upper House.. where it is
admitted that the drys have more than
an even chance of its passage.
Governor Philip is said to have de-
clared he will not veto the bill if the
measure passes the Legislature.
A Referendum Measure
The Evjuc bill is not direct Pro-
hibition measure. 1t is measure to
carry the question of Prohibition to
the people for referendum in the
spring Of 1918, and to take effect, il
carried, the first of January, 1920
The bill caused a hot fight today.
The final vote, however, was over
whelming being So to 81, with about
20 absent or not voting.

The long list of license revoeations
in Chicago is itself evidence OF the
disorderly conduct of large proper
ton of the saloons of the city. and it
is a well known fact that many sa-
looms which should have their licenses
revoked have escaped for want OF evil
dence or for some other reason.
If the law abiding people of Chi
cago could sec what goes on in these
lawless resorts, they would rise up
and drive the whole saloon business
of the city out of existence. Here is
a specimen case.
William Fishers saloon license was
revoked in 1916 and later on, Novcm-
Der II of the same year,,was restored
by Mayor Thompson on the promise
of good behavior. On February 20,
1917, fight occurred in Fishers sa-
loon. Thomas Morgan, who had

WET HUMOR

One Of the failings which the vets
attribute TO the drys is lack of humor.
Anyone who will bother to read the
reasons why various OF the so legis-
lators voted against the Prohibition
referendum bill will feel exactly the
same lack on the part of the vets.
They do not know it, of course, but
they are funnier than Carrie Nation
or any other dry figure which they
like to ridicule.
But the supreme burst of uncon-
scious humor by the vets is always
found in that comic standby known
as "The Anti-Prohbition Manual"
This year it excels itself.
Its most dramatic story is embod-
led in the reprint of letter to wine
company from an Oregon physician,
in which the doctor tells how a little
boy died because the state dry law
made it impossible to get brandy in
time to administer the stimulant that
would have wardcd off death This,
of course, is sad and pathetic, and is
played up feelingly with picture of
an anxious physician sitting by
child's cot-although the child's name
is not given.
But the tragedy of the incident Isl
distinctly lessened when the doc adds
these feeling words about the fate of
the brandy which the law held out on
him at the express office: ut is still in
the express Office awaiting the arrival
of the Goth, and then | don't know
whether I'll take it or not, as tho
scorching weather demands beer"
This is in "The AUTHORIZATIONS
Manual" page 48. We know you
