ing the county contracts.

Broken Bow , Neb. , Dec. 21. Word
has reached here that the body of

overcome by heart failure or some
thing or a like nature. When discov
ered by h s- son , Peyton's body .was
almost a skeleton , hogs hav.ing eaten

"MILLION TO DEFEND COAST
Generals Hodges sn'd Grant Deciars
Need of Great Army.
Chicago , Dec. 19. General Charles
L. Hedges , commander of the Depa
inent of the Lakes , declared that Ja
pan could land an army on the Pacific
'coast with ease at any time , cecausc
of the weakness of the-United States
army , as pointed out by Secretary o
War Dickinson , who recommended im
mediate steps be. taken to correct this
weakness. He also declared the Unit
ed States would finally be victorious
after a long and hard fight.
General Hedges was seen at his of
fice in the federal tmilding and askec
what he thought about the prospects
of a war with Japan and what he be
lieved the result would be in case Ja
pan landed a huge army on the shores
of the Pacific coast.
"I don't believe Japan is looking for
war. " declared the general. "Of course
an invasion of the Pacific coast is en
tirely practicable , " he continued.
"The Pa/ific coast is not adequately
defended. There is 2OCO miles of
shore lyjng along our western coasts
and an enemy would have little trou
ble in landing an army. "
General Frederick Dent Grant , com
mander of the Department of the East.
who was formerly stationed in Chica
go , declared in an interview ia New
York that our country v/as in no way
prepared for war.
"We need 1,000,000 men to defend
our coasts , " declared General Grant
"We need a larger standing arniy. In
case of war we would have to drait
600,000 men to defend cur coasts , and
it woulil take weeks to properly equip
them. The whole eauipnisrt wonl-7
have to be rushed and it could net be
done in time to check the enamy. This
} s the situation that we must consider
and there is no dodsing of it. "

With Farmers in Rcicing Armns. : !
Washington , Dec. 19. Co operation
between the govemment and the larm
ers of the country in breeding ana
raising horses suitable for the cavalrj

department before the house commit

It is proposed to establish a sys
tern whereby the government shall co
operate with individual farmers .in
breeding horses of a desirable stand
ard. General Aleshire said that the
decline of the saddle and race horse
