NO CIVIL WAR VETS IN ARMY "Drummer Boy of Chickamauga," Last cf Line, to Be Retired. Washington, D. C., Aug. ' The last of the civil war veterans will leave the active service of the army when Colonel John I,. Clem, "the drummer boy of Chickamauga," reaches the age limit and is retired as a brigadier general, at When President Lincoln issued his first call for volunteers, "Johnny" Clem, a 10-year-old orphan, offered his services to the Twenty-third Michigan Regiment. Some of the soldiers rigged him up in a uniform and gave him a sa wed-off gun. Eventually he got a drum. He was under fire for the first time at Chickamauga. The command with which he was serving was surrounded by Confederates, and the d lumber boy found himself in a cluster of buslies, where lie was located by a Confederate officer, who laughed heartily at the diminutive figure. Thereupon "Johnny" unloaded his gun at the offi- — "Gee, you look bad!" "The doctor savs I've got Peoria." "Peoria? You Antony and Cleopatra. il

WILSON TO BE RE-ELECTED No Question About It, Says Senator After Political Canvass. Detroit, Aug. il.— At the end of a trip which has covered 14.000 miles, and at the suggestion of President Wilson himself, Senator Henry F. Ashurst, of Arizona, started today to make a political canvass of Michigan, with the avowed purpose of reporting, back to the White House the result of his labors. That it is "Wilson in 1910, without opposition,'' is the sentiment of the Arizona politician. The results of his trip convince him. he declares, that the President will be raiiimously renominated; that the tariff is not to be an issue,- and the currency- a minor one. The position of the United States, due to the European war and the troubles in Mexico, has made the President the logical party leader, says the Senator. Since March 4 last the Senator has covered 14,000 miles. He has talked to cowboys and bankers, lumberjacks and professional men, and. after carefully weighing and digesting the sentiment, he has found, he declares, that Wilson is today 2,000.000 votes stronger than his party. He says that, if there were a Presidential election today, Wilson would carry New York handily, and would come closer to sweeping Michigan than any living Democrat "Woodrow Wilson will run for President," he said, "because he will have no other choice. 1 measure my words when I say that he will be re-elected without any trouble. The people will have no other leader. It was fortunate for both Woodrow Wilson and for the United States that he became President at such a time— fortunate for him i because the times made him the one great outstanding figure in civilization today, and fortunate for the United r States because he is the one calm, re- ■ sourceful leader whose peculiar abilities enabled him to steer the country ■ safely through the international difficulties that have beset it. i "From the standpoint of the great mass of people there is but one question, and that relates to the war in i Europe. The people know they have ; the one man to lead them safely i through. Woodrow Wilson is that man, "Republican Congressmen are in a bad way. They cuss Wilson openly for i the sake of their constituency, and they • praise him privately because there is ' no other thing for them to do."
