refers to the Havre Consulshp:

sylyania avenue, that yesterday the nomination
of Mr.. Francis j. Grund to be United States
consul at liayre was rejected by the Senate.

consider the vote, by which it was done. The
fact of his rejection will OF course, take the
friends of Mr.. G.by surprise, insonuch as it
was generally understood that no active oppo-
sition to his confirmation occurred until the

BY" The special correspondent in Italy of
the hondon Dditg Nems went 10 Scandiano to
see a battalion Of 400 children quartered in the
old castle. lie says:
THE first idea Of recruiting this legion Of
children belongs to Gen. Gnribaldi When en-
gagged in the South American wars, and in the
defence OF Rome in 1919, this gallant leader
had noticed that boys between the age of 10
and 10 years had proved useful in the daring
military operation he was called to accomplish
At the beginning Of the late campaign having
found that the Lombard cities through which
marched his trinmpeant lcgions had given their
contingent of young soldiers he Mt once made
up his mind to haze IL battalion Of adoiescenH
organized. An intelligent young officer, whom
he had known during the Roman campaign Of
1919. being near at hand, he entrusted him with
the formation of the legion which AZ The begin
Mug did not number more than l50 Austrian
prosecutions and patriotism soon increased the
number Of the dd0iewcW, 50 that the battalion
has now completed its numerical strength
These little soldiers are dressed in a dark green
tnnlc, with red cuffs with white edge. and dark
green trowsers TN my arrival here this morn
ing from Reggie happened to see them while
manmuvering on the parade-ground opposite
TO the castle. was really at the same time
astOnished and amused to see how perfect
and orderly their movements were They went
through nll sorts of military eyolutions with
such steadiness and precision as could scarcely
have been surpassed by ground-up soldiers at
crmany months Of trainingand drilling. Their
commanding officer, Count John Arivaben, is
Young noblcman OF %. lie belongs to an il

contributed great many soldiers to the cause
Of national independence. Although really

enemies of Italian independence, its chief inn

As an evidence of this, he was for six years
