WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. An army rf 7.000. Ot'O fighting men will be one mult 01 the e.rnnaion of the dra:t ii'ns between IS vid 45, In the opinion of War Derailment officials. Thl Is the .ninlmum figure, and It meant, that every man of the 7,000,OOO will be of the type and physique of thour now on the battle front In Pram Miliiaiy men bel-ev the class of IS 20 vi'l yield 2,000,000 men. From the tins of 21 to 31 the country has already taken 3,000,000 of the best soldier material In history, most of whom are now In France. The class of 31 to 43 Is et down for another 2,000.000 men. Under the present plans, which provide that the boys of from 18 to 20 shall be trained here, the United States will have the largest reserve amy the world has ever seen. In one respect the tremendous figures recall President Wilson's "interrogatory-answer" with reference to the amy when he said: "Why limit it to 5,000,000-" They mean the possibilities of our army are practically without limit. The 5,000,000 could be increased to eight, nine, ten, eleven or even twelve million If need be. One War Department estimate fixes 16,000,000 men as to the number who will register, providing the extensions are approved in the present form. Through comparison, based on the number of men registered in the various states at the time of the first draft, an estimate has been obtained of the state quotas in the new draft.

BUMPER CROP IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Aug. 5. A bumper harvest is anticipated in Ireland this year. At the end of May the right amount of rain came at the proper time, and all hay and rye crops are reported to be exceptionally promising. Winter wheat, oats, barley and rye are all doing excellently. Potatoes will be particularly good. The numbers of live stock have been well kept up and It was a favorable season. Flax is poor, and as it has been extensively grown to provide Belfast with linen for airplanes, this is a disappointment.

Business men subscribe to the principles that business is the art of serving and satisfying.

Shower Bath and Entertainment Are Greatest Soldier Needs

"Sergeant Dehl! Sergeant Dehl! Page Sergeant Dehl!" It wasn't a hotel, just a crowd of soldiers wanting some one to manage a banjo-mandolin in the church yard of East Main Street Friends. They were with the train of trucks which went through Richmond Sunday and they stopped under the trees for a little music. An old guitar and a banjo-mandolin which the men carry with them helped out, although they were a bit out of tune. When Sergeant Dehl was "paged" by a porter in khaki he was too bashful to play very long. There were forty trucks in the train with about 125 men and 5 or 6 officers. The men were glad to sit

out under the trees on Main street. Some had to get into overalls and "get out and get under," while others talked. They camped in Greenfield Saturday night where the men said their only diversion was a roller skating rink. When told that the War Mothers were having an informal party for the men who camped over night here the men chorused "Oh Boy, why weren't we in Richmond last night." One of the officers said that the best thing the public could offer to the men was a shower bath. He said that the men went away with new energy and courage after a refreshing shower. The next best thing, was entertainment. "Eats" as he said could

be bought. Another big western man said, "Naw, we don't want eats, we want a good time." The soldiers were all Iowa and Minnesota men who had been stationed at Camp Dodge. This is their second

trip through Richmond but they did i not stop the first time. The trucks ! were being taken to an eastern port ;

to be shipped abroad for carrying general supplies. They have been on the road for two months.
