All the country before Warsaw Is an open way of farm and factory. While tln> s*?ls are not very fertile, helng chiefly clay and sand deposits, large crops are raised upon thenj, crops that have been forced higher and higher to meet the needs of the great next-door market. Then, too, the Warsaw dis trict is the inont modern and progress ive (list iict4 In ,1'oland, progressive In its agricultural as in its manufacture and trade. Tho industry of the me tropolis spreads out over the city,, through the neighboring villages and towns. For 20 years, the Poles have turned their energies to industry with all the seriousness which they former ly displayed in politics, and with bet ter orguul/.atltoi. Warsaw, ntul the flat country in which it lies, are the heart and the inspiration of Polish in dustry. KERSHAW NEWS NOTES. Happennings of Interest In Otir Neighboring Town.

To get an idea of tin* situation, a representative of the New York*Tlmes wan permitted a few days ago to read Hom^ of the government report# on the condition of the militia. The re ?!t Wfla startling. I11 more than a ? co re of states there Is 110 Held ar tillery of any sort and in the whole country there are fewer than forty officers of ordnance. In thirty-five states there are no organizations train ed for coast, artillery, 24 have 110 cav alry, a large majority are without *lg nal troops, while the whole force of organized engineers, officers und men, totals less than 1,500 for' the entire country.

For instance, Ala bama is surpassed by only four states In the number of males between 18 and 44 fit for military service, those states being New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. The 1910 census gave California 200,000 more popula tion that Alabama, yet Alabama Re ports that she can furnish 400,000 more men than can California! Texas with 1,700, 000k more population JMfe? ha in are ports only 500,000 men fit for service, while Massachusetts, with 500, 000 less populUtlo# than Texas offers | 75,000 more men. Minnesota/ with 2,100,000 population, reports only 237,923 possible soldiers, while South Carolina, with only 1,500, 000 population, comes within 20,000 of | that number. Ohio, t whose population Is n round million greater than that of Texas, Is credited with 450,000 more able men than Texas, but only 150.000 1 more than Alabama, which has 2,500, 000 fewe^people ^ Mississippi, 1,800,000 population, of-' fers more than 400,000 men, whereas] Tennessee, with 2,000,000 population, returns only 376,000. Indiana, with 1,000,000 less population than Texas, reports 160,000 more fit men and 75.- 1 000 more than Massachusetts which has 050,000 more cltlaens than Indl-| ana. . , Much criticism has been leveled at the war department because of appar ent lack of Interest In the mllltla.
