ST PauYs Gold Cross a Mark.

There is a feeling growing in city
circles that steps should be taken to
deaden the CLEAN Of the cross and bell
on st. Paurs cathedral, says the Lon
don Globe. 1t is pointed out that these
were resilded shortly before the war,
and that when the sun is shining
brightly they afford magnificent
landmark for enemy afrmen to indl-
cate the whereabouts of the very CEN
ter of the city of London.
It is stated that the shining cross
can be seen many miles away with the
naked eye.

There is a coal famine on in New York
and untold suffering among the poor
people and the schools have closed down
and it is said the churches are to sus-
pend services so as to save fuel. And
then there is the sugar famine and the
bread famine and we have not yet got
into the war. What will It be when al
our soldiers get over to France and we
have to feed them and the Allies and
ourselves. The government better begin
to draft some of the fellows at home for
the farm and the factory and make
bread and clothes as we'll as guns and
powder. Men and guns and powder will
be of little service unless we have food
and raiment with which to feed and
clothe thte soldiers

tainly not forthe reason that few hun
dred from each county have been draft

is that there are too many who are loaf
ing and will not work so long as they
have little money and something to
eat. There should be some way to put
the loafers to work. There is plenty Of

Grows in Few Short Months From
Force Numbering Only
10000 Men.
OVER 100000 ARE REGuLARs
Officer Personnel Numbers More Than
80,00G-Equipment OF Men Much
More Diverse Than in Any
Previous War.

Washington.-The latest official fig
ures put the number Of enlisted men in
the armies Of the United States at l.
100000. This is the force that has
grown in eight months out Of an army
which on April I numbered only no.
600 men.
Most Of them are still in the train
ing camps. Many Of them are not yet
disciplined troops, fully equipped and
armed for battle. But there they are
100000 of them, already one Of the
biggest factors Hindenburg is reckon
ing with for the campaign of 1913. To
lead them there are over $4,000 Off
GERS. When the graduates Of the sec
ond training camp get their first Or
ders the number will be over 100000
as many officers as there were privates
nine months ago.
Over 100000 Regulars.
Of the new American force over 3OO,-
900 men are regulars. In I'll the world
only two regular armies remain-the
American and the Japanese. The 9TH
ers have all been swept away in the
food of war. When the first American
onslaught takes place German 1. md
wehr and Landsturm troops will f1nd
themselves opposed to an army OF pro-
fessional soldiers.
Behind the regulars are the 100000
soldiers Of the National Guard, regu-
lars in experience, many Of them,
thanks to our neighbor Of the South.
After the Guard come the 100000 men
Of the new National army.
The whole military establishment,
with the marines and the auxiliary
forces thrown in, numbers million
and a half. The expansion that has
taken place is as if Grand Rapids had
grown in eight months to be virtually
as big as Philadelphia.
Diversity of Equipment.
The first thing to be done for the
new army was, to provide them with
shelter and clothing, food and
warmth. That large undertaking is
all but accomplished. Equally great
is the task OF providing arms. To arm
an infantry division in the Civil war
meant to provide as many muskets and
as many bayonets as there were men
In the command. In the present war
the job is more complicated. There are
rifles and bayonets to be furnished
now as i'd nerly, but there are also
grenades I'D gasmasks and helmets
and trench mortars to be seen to. Each
of the four infantry regiments In dl-
vision must have 4S0 trench knives,
1872 automatic rifles and three one
FOUNDER cannon.
The 76S men Of the machine gun
battalion and the 5,068 men Of the field
artillery brigade must have machine
guns and three-inch guns in numbers
that would stagger an artillerist even
of so recent a period as che war with
Spain.
Two hundred and seventy-fve thou
sand troops were made ready to fight
Spain in 1898, though only $4,000 OF
them were actually engaged.

Nsjor General Mccain, adjutart gen
eral OF the United States army, is SAID
to have the names of between 1,60s
and 300 men in the National army
suspected Of being German spies or dis
loval Americans. The lists. with a re-
port on each man, were compiled by,
commanders Of companies, heads Of
batteries and members Of the intell-
gence bureau. Many Of the suspects
it is understood, are of German birth.
Internment for some is said to have
been recommended by their command
ing officers.
In the Eastern cantonments, it is.
said, was found the largest number OF
suspects. Some camps have sent in as
many as zoo names. The search for
spies has not been confined to the Ma
tional sCAy, bat has been equally as
thorough ia training camps fer efieers
and others.

Grein. manager of the Independent theater '0uay, Justice Darling ruled that it was impossible to allow any individual 70 come forward to refute statements made by the witnesses which really were not relevant to the issue before Inc court.

He said he considered the stage direction of Wildcs "Salome" as objectionable and disgusting.

 Asked whether he regretted having met Wilde Lord Alfred replied:
 Wilde Monster in Evil
 'I do 10 my most intense honor. Wilde had a diabolical influence on people. He was the greatest force for evil that has appeared in Europe in Inc last 300 years"

 In a heat wave that spread over al most the entire country the 100 mark was easily passed in Arizona and all most that record was equalled in the east.
 The highest temperature reported in this state yesterday was from Needles where the maximum was 102. Phoenix escaped with a maximum of 9S, all though many people felt that it cer- tainly must have been 100.
 New York reported the exceedingly unusual temperature of 90 degrees, while at Washington the mercury re- corded s6. Reports from other points showed that the warm wave was gen. eral and decided.
