"Wilson took steps today to place the
nation on a war footing.
--By executive order he directed that;
the navy be recruited without delay;
to the full authorized war strengtn
of 87,000 enlisted men. Taken in;

?rs as commander in chief to prepare
the navy for war.
For the army, the president direct
ed that two new military departments
be created in the Atlantic coast re
gion. The order means that the task
of organizing whatever army con
gress may authorize will be among
six departmental commanaers insieau
of four in the interest of speed ana
efficiency in mobilization. The third
step was to assume as a national duty j
the task of protecting American ir.-j
dustries from domestic disorders in!
the event of hostilities. For this pur-!
pose 11, full infantry regiments, two:
separate battalions and one separate
company of the National Guard were'

in the president by the act of con-j

(Signed) "iWoodrow Wilson." j
The navy must enroll immediately;
approximately 20,000 men to reach '
the required strength. Secretary Dan-;
iels supplemented it tonight with per-;
sonal telegrams to newspaper editors1
all over the country urging them to;
aid the department in every way In |

ment commanders will remain as at
present."
Conerress must determine the sys
tem under which an army is to be
raised. Today's action provides more
elastic machinery found necessary a6
a result of' the recent border mo
bilization, for the enrolling and train
ing of a great army, whether raised
as volunteers, by conscription or
through universal service bill.
The object of the creation of the
new departments of the Northeast
aiAi Southeast was to distribute
among three contral commanders the
work of mobilization in the States
most thickly populated ana irom
which the greatest number of soldiers
must come. The present Eastern de
partment directed the mobilization or
approximately SO per cent, of the
150.000 guardsmen sent to the border.
|W5th 400,000 men, the maximum
authorized strength of the National
Guard in additio" to whatever volun
teers might be summoned, the task
would be too great for a single de
partment organization because of
the vastness of the supply* prooiems
involved.
Instructions to National Guard of
ficers issued more than a month ago
to cover any future mobilizations
showed plainly that the war depart
ment had learned its lesson and pro
posed to decentralize its mobilization
problems as far as possible. Depart
mental commanders completely "will
supervise tne assemDimg vi ota-tc
troops in their districts hereafter and
will take over the task of recruiting.
Army Officers Surprised.
The transfer of Gen. Wood from
the Eastern to the Southeastern de
partment caused considerable specu
lation among army officers. No ex
planation was given and Secretary
Baker declined to comment. The
Eastern department, even as it will
be after the new organization goes
into effect, is regarded as the most
imDortant of the six because of Its
great economic development. As *
general rule that department falls to
the command of the senior major
general of the army available for such
duty.
Gen. Wood is the ranking officer of
his grade. Gen. Bell, who now takes
command of the Eastern departmem
being his immediate junior. In some
quarters it was suggested that the
new Southeastern department might
prove to be the centre of interest
should the present international situ
-Vion develep need for military opera
tions to the South.
Indications tonight were that the
administration planned to await ac
tion by congress before further war
like preparations are ordered. Presi
dent Wilson has authority to direct
that the regular army be brought up
to full war strength at once, and also
" A Jam 4-Vi a Mo
tO call OUT, Hie ieiiiiiiiiuci ui .<?
tional Guard and the naval militia. |
In designating State troops to be
called out jt is apparent that the war
department has carefully surveyed
the field of private enterprises which
might be assailed in event of domes-1
tic disturbances. The number of
troops fr<"m each State summoned to
duty bears a direct relation to the
shipyards, munition plants and other1
industry in that State which may need
military nrotection.
The president, following his con- j
ferences with Gov. McCall of Massa-I
chusetts. Friday night and yesterday !
with Secretary Baker reached the
conclusion that as the federal gov
ernment is responsible for the situ
ation -which creates the danger of
internal disorders it also should as
sume the burden of providing ade-1
qnate protection. Under the policy j
he h3?: resolved unon and put Into;
execution, no State and no private
rn-aniifacfturer will be called upon to
bear the expense of military police
wo"V. Congress will be asked, it is
understood, to expedite espionage!
legislation in oonnporion wiui uu*
phase of the situation.
More Men Seeded.
iA-t the navy department it "was
learned that congress also would be
requested to authorize an increase be
young the 87.000 was trength limit for
enlisted personnel now set. The or
e-flnizatim of great fleets of subma
rine chasers will make necessary the
enlistments of many thousand more
men than planned ior wnen me pres
ent act was framed. Every fightin?
ship now in the service or soon to be
completed could be manned with 87-,
000. j
The order to recruit to war strength
was signed by President Wilson yes
terday when he and Mrs. Wilson call
ed at Secretary Daniels' office. It was
not made public, however, until de
to?io fr\r- ^rrvine- it into effect had
been arranged. The recruiting ser
vice has been running recently ^ith
redoubled energy and accomplishing
good results. ,
parnp of T,ut"her chapel at Lees
ville has been changed to Wittenberg
Evangelical Lutheran church, of
which the Rev. IV. Y. Boozer is pas

count of its historical connection with
the Reformation, as we gather from
an interesting account in the always
interesting Lutheran Church Visitor.
BLUEJACKETS ARE NEEDED ,
FOR U. S. >AYf
(Washington, March 2,">.?The need
of more men to man the navy which I
forms the nation's line of defense
v. as emphasized tonight when Presi-'
dent Wilson, by executive order, in
creased the authorized enlisted
strength of the navy to 87,000 men. |
The executive order, issued yester
day. was made public by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, with a plea for
patriotic aid in increasing navy en
listments.
The order, issued under authority
of the naval appropriation act of thi
present year, would add 19.000 blue
jackets to the enlisted personnel.
Every man will be needed to man
. 1m nan- aViino Koincr rnahpri to
pletion, the reserve fleet ordered into
commission, and the mosquito fleet ot
"submarine chasers" which has been
ordered constructed in record time.
It is probable that a further in
crease in the legal limit will be ask
ed when congress convenes.
The executive order, as made public
Dv tne navy aeparimeat, turnout.,
read:
"By virtue of the authority vested
in the president by the act approved
August 29, 1915, entitled 'An act maK
ing appropriations for the naval serv
ice for the year ending June 30, 1917,
and for other purposes,' it is hereby
j directed that the authorized eniisteo
strength of the navy be increased to
87,000 men.
"The White House, March 24, 1917.
(Signed "WOODROW WILSON."
Under the legal authorization, the
naval strength was limited to 68,000
men, with an allowance of 60,000 m ^
in training. The recent recruiting
campaign, while it has materially in
creased enlistments, has brought the.
strength up to only about 62,000 men,
it was stated Jonight.
In announcing the president's order
tonight. Secretary Daniels said that
i ne uau leiecij dpntru pciouuouj
i managing editors of all of the news
papers of the country urging them to
; cooperate to the fullest extent pos
sible ir aiding the navy recruiting
campaign. He said that, with the aid
of the newspapers, he expected that
the navy personnel would be filled up
in a very short time.
Meantime, the navv department will
continue its efforts to rush construc
tion. Secretary Daniels and his aides
will confer this week with the ship
builders and with the manufacturers
of material necessary for the building
of the enormous naval program now
contracted for.
Arrangements will be made to sup
ply the builders with material just as
fast as it can be used. The depart
ment officials also will cooperate
with the labor committee of the ad
visory committee of the council of na
tional defense, in order to make sure
that shipbuilders and material manu
facturers are supplied with the skill
ed aid unskilled labor necessary to
speed up construction.
DECLARATION TO RESULT
IN MANY ARRESTS
Washington, March 25.?Every
channel of government acrivity to
night worked under pressure to pro
vide "spy insurance" for the nation
in the event of war with Germany.
* * ~ Af enrnVo mOT1 51T>/1
ah army \jl cl o&i ?iw
agents of the department of justice,
spreading a dragns*. from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from Canada to
the Mexican border, has under sur
veillance thousands of "spy suspects"
and German sympathizers.
A declaration of war between the
United States and Germany, it was
learned tonight, will be followed im
mediately &y wnoiesaie arrests anu
internments.
Among the thousands under sur
veillance are a vast number of Ger
man reservists, caught yn the United
States at the outbreak of the Euro
pean war and unable to get back to
the German army. Every reservist
has been listed by the secret agents.
after a vast amount of labor, and a'
war declaration would be the signal j
for their immediate apprehension and
internment. Plans are under way'
for several gTeat internment camps in !
various parts of the country wher<|
the German aliens will be placed un-;
der guard. I
In addition to these reservists, the
secret service agents have under sur-i
veilance a vast number of natural-!
ized Germans, whose activities during
the recent crisis have brought them J
under suspicion. Many of these are;
wealthy and influential men in com-j
munities throughout the country. As
as an example ui luib uas.-? vj. ouo-j
pects, it "was learned tonight that aj
secret service guard has been install-1
ed about the home and business es-j
tablishment of a millionaire German- j
American in Washington.
While the secret service agents to- j
| night declined to make any announce-i
I ment as to what charge they were!
prepared to make against the million-)
aire, it was learned that a powerful j
! -wireless plant surmounting the mil-|
lionaire's place of business had'
aroused suspicion and that for months
a secret service man had been in the 1
millionaire's employ.

That's a good ordinance the torcn
has passed &bout hanging 3igns ou:
over the sidewalk. I said something j
about that sort of sign being evi
dence of the small village som3 two
or three or more years ago. I tola J
the citv authorities then that Xevs-j
bery was out of that class, or should !
be. Nothing wa? done. I reckon j
they thought it was none of ray busi- j
ness, and I didn't care .whether they i
did what I suggested or not. As I i
have frequently remarked, it is a
matter of absolute indifference to me
whether any one reads what 1 write j
or acts on the suggestions I make
or not. I know they will sooner or
later come to what I am advising,
though they wait long enough to
think that the people have forgotten;
what I said, so that some rich ana;
Dig re now may get nits i;icuu ui u
all. There is no necessity for that
for I do not care the snap of my fin
ger for notoriety or fame, because it
all counts for mighty little, and is
very short lived and evanescent?1 j
reckon that is a good word, it seems
to me I have heard some one use it
who was educated?any way, this '
thing of fame is a very small matter
and soon vanishes. The man who
rides in the chariot today may be
pushing the wheelbarrow tomorrow.
It is "hang the king" and "long live
the king" all in the same breath. The
thing that counts is the satisfaction
of having rendered service to some
one here and of having done some
good and having made some poor
soul happy, even though the, world
never knows it, your reward is sure
and certain.
?0?
But I have gone away off what
the subject I started out to write
agout. Well, that is my way. I just
write what comes to my mind as I go
along. But I was going to say that
there is one mistake about this here
ordinance. To require an awning to
be only six and a half feet above the
sidewalk is entirely too low for the
awning. I know some fellows around
here who could not walk under it,
especially if they happened to have
or their silk hats. And no one coula
carry an umbrella under six and a
half feet. I reckon this ordinance
will require the removal of these lii
tle signs that the town has put up
requiring that automobiles run only
4 miles the hour at certain crossings.
That will be something, because they
are not very attractive and no one
pays any attention to them any way.
If you do not believe what I say you
just stand for five minutes at any
of these crossings where such signs
are suspended, and if any car slows
down. 10 lour miles LUC UUU1
give me the number and style of the
car and I will put the driver and the
car on the honor roll. Why I have
seen them go by. at about thirty to
forty miles the hour. Take 'em down
or see that they are respected. That's
my motto. I think we have a whole
lot of very silly and very foolisn
iaws and ordinances, but so long as
they are laws and ordinances I be
lieve in seeing them respected. i
"Well, it really begins to look like
we are going to have war with Ger
many. Gov. Manning says the peo
ple are clamoring for war and Sena-i
tor Tillman savs we must fight right;
now. W^iat do the people say about4
it? I mean the fellows who will be
called on to do the fighting. What
are they going to fight about? Be-,1
cause our ships can't sail vne seas.
I know I am pretty dull, and I know |
I don't want to fight, but I would not j
be surprised if I am not just about
as brave as Mr. Manning or Mr. Till- I
man. and would do just about as j
much fighting as they will ao 11 war
should come, but somehow it looks j
to me like if I was in a fight with j
another fellow and I could shut off j
his supplies and thus keep him from;
hurting me I would be justified in j
doing it, and if the feHow who was j
supplying him with guns and powder I
and rations wanted to turn around j
and fieht me for it. why he would j
just have to do it, that's all. If those I
fellows over there where they are!
fighting want our rations and ^uns j
and our powder wL. not let them
send their ships over here for It,
whether they be allies or teutons or
what not. And not plunge us into
war, because our ships are submarin
ed when they undertake to send
those things to the allies. Buti
I musn't talk about the war be-!
cause I may say something I should1
not i will say this, however, T want'
to see those of oar countrymen who>
are so anxious for war to be the
first to shoulder their muskets and
march to the front and get in the
firing line. But I am going to write
about something else.
I heard the other day. or read it J
in the newspapers, that the civic;
association and the ladies were mak
ing efforts to raise money to have j
a fence put around the Rosemont j

it much better to put a neat fence
