Tells OF WORK
IN The ARMY
Major Frank u. Nc
Coskrie Speaks At
Kiwanis Luncheon
at Warren

The army was the topic discus
sed by Major Frank u. McCoskrie
at the, regular KiWanis luncheon
at the Warren at noon today. The
fighting land forces of the United
States are divided into three main
divisions, the regular army, the
national guard and the organized
reserve. These three component
parts. are all working together to-
, ward the same end.
In the regular army there are
about $4,000 men, 1900 officers.
In time of stress these men go to
the places to give aid, just as they
did during the disaster in Illinois
some time ago. The engineers
are doing constructive harbor
work and pioneering in disease.
The officer urged greater inter
est in the national guard. The
local companies have much valu-
able property and whenever a
young man reports for drill it
means dollar in his pocket. The
quota for Wisconsin is about 10,--
900 men and the number enrolled
is about 1000
Major McCoskrie did not speak
OF the hardships of the soldiers
in the late war but spoke most
| kindly of those who remained at
home and did all they could to
carry on the conflict. These, he
said, deserve just as much praise
as those who shouldered a gun.
Speaking of the approaching
martial of General Mitchell
the speaker said ne would be tried
by his peers. He went over some
of the ground involved and stated
that the punishment will be at the
discretion of the officers of the
court The whole matter will go
to the president who may not in
crease but who may decrease the
punishment in case the jury rem
ders such a verdict.

YOUNG BOB AT
DADS DESK
CARRYING ON
Claim He Will Be
Much in Demand at
Capital by Debut
ants

Washington, D. C,-Young Bob
LaFollette has come to town.
The baby senator'-he is just
30-was very dignified and BUSH
nessllke Tuesday as he sat be-
hind the big LaFollette desk in
the seate office building and re-
ceived callers. 1t was his first
day on the new job.
Its just going on with my old
work." he said in manner grave
and serious, but of course the
responsibilities that used to be on
my fathers shoulders are shifted
to'mine. I know the work, but I'm
very conscious of the new trust
reposed in me-"
For seven years young Bob was
his fathers secretary. In that po-
sition he naturally learned all the
ms and outs of this seatorial bus
mess, viewed from the LaFollette
angle.
Office Force Identical
The senator is carrying on"
He occupies the same suits Of Of
fees that he has known Of old;
but now he sits in a different
chair.
The same Office force is there,
including Of course, Miss Grace
Lynch, who, through nearly two
decades of experience as LaFol-
lette secretary, is prehaps the best
informed woman on the 'hill."
I'm rather looking forward to
taking my seat" young Bob con-
fessed. THAT will be part Of
the work that I'm not used to-.
And my first speech? I'm not us
ed to that either. Of course l
made a good many during the cam
Dd12u, Dul ludI , dill
I'm not quite the youngest SEN
ator. You see / was 80 last Feb
ruary and was a few months past
the minimum age limit when elect
ed. But Henry Clay was a senator
for three months when he was
only 20. They had to suspend the
rules to let him in"
Young Bob will undoubtedly be
one of the beaux of the capital
this winter. With nice blue eyes,
dark hair, and winning way, he
will be in demand at all sorts of
social affairs.
May be Social Lion
Besides, and most important of
all, he's not married.
"How are you going to keep the
debbies away?" he was asked.
"Debbies? Well, haven't had
any trouble along that line so far,
and / don't anticipate any now.
"You see we LaFollettes have
always lived very quietly. We
don't go in much for society. My
mother is coming from Wisconsin
pretty soon to make home for
me. / prefer thinking of her as
doing that rather than as beng my
official hostess"
But it is prophesied in other
quarters that young Bob is bound
to be caught up in the whirl that
fills the society columns every day
He could scarcely help it--Wlth
his qualifications.
