Chicago, June 27-(AP)-The Chi
cago Journal today published a story
saying that Robert NJ. LaFollette,
son of the late United States Senator

and that young Bob" who is 80,
would be the first in the field, with
Gov. Blaine and the La Toilette or
ganization virtually solidly behind

1,215,520 Enrolled
Last Defense Day

Washington, June 27-(AP)-A de-
tailed analysis OF final reports of the
first defense test, Sept. IL last, made
public tonight by the war department,
showed that total Of 1,215.5o0 one
day volunteers were enrolled for that
day with regular, National Guard and
organized reserve units of the army.
This was 2S1,693 men in excess of
the number that actual mobilization
plans, for major emergency, would
call to the colors during the first four
months Of the mobilization.
The report showed that the ceremo-
MES last year in small communities
exceeded proportionately those in
large population centers.
"All defects noted are of a minor
character and readily corrected" the
report said.
OF outstanding military value was
the fact that the first test brought
about the development of detailed
plans for the local mobilization of
about IS per cent. OF the units mac
tive in peace times, which was CLASH

nearer perfection.
1.-THE time and cost that will be
saved and the confusion during an
emergency that will be eliminated by
this revision cannot be estimated but
will be considerable" the report stat
ed.
One immediate effect Of the first test
was the adoption of policy under
which ranking reserve officers assign

responsible for completion of local as

Failure to comply with this require

will be laid on the patriotic exercises
there still will be opportunity Tor an

 Noted French
 Statesman Dead

PARIS. Sept. S.-Former Premier Viviani died yesterday at Malmai- son sanitarium, where he had been confined since his collapse two years ago while pleading a case while worn out with grief over the death of his wife.
 Rene Viviani, ex-premier of France and internationally famous lawyer and statesman, was the most re- nowned of the public men given to the French nation by her young colonies in Africa. Born November s 1863, in the thriving little village of Sidi Bel Abbes. in the interior of Algeria-which was itself born of the brilliant French conquest-yi- viani came to be known through the years of his political life as a man who embodied in their truest sense the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity upon which the French republic was founded.

From railroad brakeman to big game hunter is the meteoric rise of w. E. Strew. who, according to his team mates. who returned to Seward this moring from Wide Bay where they have been employed on the Hubble Dome road work, is now slated among the big game hunters of the territory. But instead of using a gun like an ordinary mortal. Mir Strew uses a pick handle. It is reported the camp was awakened one morning by a furious racket outdoors.
 Rushing out they were astounded to see MT. Strew and good size brown bear going around like a windmill, MT. Strew yielding pick handle to such good purpose that the bear ceased its struggles shortly falling to the ground with a dull thud, dead. MT. Strew said the bear awakened him when he heard it nosing about the camp cache. Sure makes a dandy rug" he exclaimed. Seward Gateway.

BE POLITE TO THAT KID

You don't see it often, but occa- sionally a mining man is brusque and self important. particularly in dealing with young engineers or prospectors, or even laborers about the camps.
 The young chap whom you an- swer curtly may some day be the big fellow on whose word hangs the decision as to whether your mine is sold. or your stock listed, or even your job is safe.
 Latest instance of the "kid's re- turn to attract our attention comes from Stewart. metropolis of Port land Canal. where Eddie Brown, kid prospector of 1905, has returned as Edward G. Brown, engineer for the Hat Creek Coal Company, and bond ed a property over which he ram- bled twenty years ago.
 The property is the Albany group of three claims. belonging to Jack Watkins and associates. Brown placed Watkins in charge of the work. It is an independent venture on Browns part and has no connec' tion with the Hat Creek outfit Mining Truth.
