8 UNCLE SAM HAS 2,000,000 MEN READY FOR WAR Army Already Greater in Number Than That of Civil War Washington, Nov. 7. —Official ures obtained from Army and Navy chiefs show that the United States to-day has more than 2.000,000 men under arms in its lighting branches. Heavy enlistments to the Army, Navy and Marine Corps during the last few days have increased the to tal over the 2,000,000 mark. The second draft call, which may come before the new year is ushered in, will Increase the total to 2,500,000, exclusive of the thousands enlisting in the next two months. These figures were given out as an answer to the sneering remarks of German officials and press of Uncle Sam's "inconsequental army." Byway of emphasis in showing how well officials regard the success of the nation in raising this army in 'the six months since war was declar ed. it is pointed out that all but 687,- 000 of this total, or the first draft Icontingent, approximately 1,400,000, ■represent voluntary enlistments. A remark dropped by Secretary ißaker to-day indicates that the Unit ed States will soon reply to those sneering German prophecies that the United States cannot take part in the. ■war any greater than that Rumania, U>as taken. Germans Soon Will Know Secretary Baker was asked if, in K-iew of tlie fact that, the Germans "have raided American trenches, it would not be proper to divulge the particular sector occupied by the American troops and the direct point ■of contact with the Germans. "The Germans will know point ?of contact when we hit them, said 'Secretary Baker.

The figures for the Navy are the )rccurate figures shown •by the last !report received at the Navy Depart jnent. The ligures for the Regular .Armv, National Army and National Guard are as near as the War de partment can compute them, owing to the shifting of men to and from •camps. •200,0(10 in Special Branches The ngures of 200.000 given for •ppecial branches is a conservative estimate. It includes the special en gineer regiments, numbering well into the thousands, the <iuartermas ter corps, the medical corps ana the aviators. Thousands of men from these special branches are now m France with I'ershing. Others are being assigned to training camps •where special organizations are being The army of more than 1,500,00 in the three fighting branches, the Reg ulors. National Army and Nationa Guard, is the largest ever assembled in the history of the nation, officials pointed out to-day. ■ The high-water mark of the fed eral strength during Civil War Mas 2,700,000, but this was only pa per strength. It counted hundreds of thousands of three months' and six months' enlistments, so that officials are convinced that at no time was •there as large an army as the United States now has under arms. KEISTER WINS FOR MAYOR, IT IS BELIEVEU [Continued from First l'ugo.] Charles E. Pass had very little oppo sition for Prothonotary. the interest in the county ticket centered in the drive made on Coroner Jacob Ec* 4- ingcr. Mr. Eckinger was opposed by Ur U. Willis Hartman and for a time it looked as though Eckinger had been defeated. With returns practically complete this afternoon, however, those who were in charge of returns at the courthouse, gave it as their opinion that the Coroner had been re-elected by a majority of about 150. With only Rush town ship to hear irom. the returns, un official, stood: Eckinger, 10,143; .Hartman, 10,070. To these figures must be added 81 votes for Eckinger, Senator Beldle man having received a telegrap.iic message at noon from Camp Meade, saying that Eckinger had carried the camp vote by 81. A Republican Sweep iSoth city and county yesterday pave overwhelmingly Republican ma jorities. Not a Dingle Democratic candidate was elected for any office of importance and very few lor any office whatsoever. This is attribut able to several reasons, first, the normally utrong Republican senti ment In both Harrisburg and the county outside the city; uecdndly, the character of the Republican candi dates and finally, the rhamcful man ner in which the local Democratic bosses forsook ihe candidates cf that party The usual "barrel" was miss ing ind there was much resentment to-day among Democratic ward workers and those who had been sacrificed to make a Republican holiday over the lack of interest dis played by those who got control of the machine in other years and who are now so deeply Interested In r.tate and national politics where the lime light is not so expensive this year. Yesterday'B behavior on the part of these self-constituted leaders will likely cost the Democratic party in Dauphin county hundreds of votes in the gubernatorial contest next year. Republican housekeeping In Dau phin county has been so 'efficient in recent years and the caliber of Re publican candidates so generally high that the men backed by the local organization this year found the ground very well prepared for them and the voters well satisfied with conditions. For this reason it was unnecessary to arouse sentiment by meetings throughout the county, in almost all districts the workers and voters alike expressing themselves aa ■willing to take the nominees at face value.
