Let the secretary Answer.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
Will you kindly inform myself, and
others interested in the Gloster case,
why the important legal question raised
in his sworn statement is ignored by the
war department? Gloster has put his
case fairly and openly, and the plucky
fight he is making for his character is
refreshing. 1t is well-known fact that
this certificate question is sustained by
lawyers of repute, and need not be re.
garded as peculiar vein of Mr.. Clos
ter's; why. therefore. is the war depart
ment utterly silent about so grave
question? Is the law governing pro-
motion from the ranks carried out
in letter and spirit, or is it not?
The secretary of war, we are Informed,
"smiled," and told your reporter just
how an enlisted man, with a perfect
character, the Endorsement of two
boards of examination and excellent
testimonials, can be insultingly rejected
on the mere Say-So of one or two spite
full fellows who present their absurd
accusations at the last moment. Now,
MIR. Editor, what we want to know,
with or without the ''smile," is, has
Secretary Proctor complied with the
law, or has he not? This matter affects
every respectable man who enliSts in
the army, aud GlOster is by no means
the only victim of the mOnStrous system
he has exposed. w. j. ii.

come subject of general comment III
the Northwest, and many persons have
condemned the policy of building up an
aristocracy including only West Point
er5. Privates have been required to do
mental services for lieutenants and
under officers. who have fairly tried TO
Out-do themselves in humiliating the
men under them. They have gone so
far as to imply by their actions that no
one shall be promoted TO positions Oh
plane with the West Point graduates
unless they shall have gone through
course In that institution. Application.
service, intelligence and proficiency are
not sufficient qualifications for hon
orable position. An example in
illustration of this point is
the case of Gloster, who has been re-
fused promotion without an opportunity
to be heard as to the cause of the re-
fusai to grant him commission as
lieutenant after he had been recon-
mended for promotion. There should
be no distinction between civil and mil
itary life as to merited promotion. In
cIvllflfe trained expert is sure of pro-
motion if he desires it. In the army
service, yalor and ability should be
recognized in some way-doubtless by
honorary mention and comforting rank.
1t does not follow that man trained in
the academy possesses more brains than
one trained in the held and conflict.
One may be theoretical, the other
practical. Patriotism can be propa-
gated by emulation and reward
ing heroes. These seem to be
the motives actuating the authorities
at Washington. The people all over the
country are rejoicing at the vindication
of right and the correction of evils ex-
listing in army life. The would-be
aristocrats have learned that their
methods will not be tolerated, and that
their actions are subject to review by
impartial judges. This will certainly
be lesson that will be needed. and the
GLOBE takes pride in the fact shat it
brought about the corrections Of those
evils by originally investigating the case
used as the basis of action.

! Turner hall was crowded again yes
sterday afternoon, the occasion of the
tenth concert OF the series given by
Prof, Selbert's orchestra. The first
number of the programme was the
march '.Zaragoza." followed by an over
ture, "Fhe Two Hussars." The usual
enthusiastic reception was accorded
each successive number, and the per-
iformance of each was marked by the
perfection of execution characteristic of
this excellent organization. Prof. Glea-
son, the blind cornetist, played mag
nificently the Hartmann fantastic, "The
Favorite," and was applauded to the
echo, responding to the encore with a
selection from "Der Freischutz." The
trombone solo, 1.-The Message" by
Jacob DAM, was one Of the successes
of,the afternoon and won for the per-
former unreserved applause. The con-
certs given under the direction of Prof.
Seibert nave been series of successes
and despite the fact that the concerts
have been made weekly instead of fort
nightly the audiences attending them
have been as large as ever.

Lucian Christol Talks About the
Degeneracy OF French Gym
nastS.
Lucian Mark Christol. who is now a
resident of st. Paul. used to be a hori-
zOntal bar and trapeZe performer be-
fore he became wrestler. In those
days he drew salary of 1925 week
from Forepaugh and Barnum. Then
the French were considered the finest
of athletes, and Christol was in the front
ranks. The profession soon became
crowded. and salaries went down to $40
per week. Thereupon Christol went
into new line, Speaking of athletes
recently. the Partisan said: Il consid-
cred myself one of the very best of
tumblers and trapeze performers, and
did a fine double-bar act. But we
Frenchmen can no longer claim to be
the finest athletes in the world. The
Americans now take the palm.
Instead of sending to Paris for gym
nasts. as was done some years ago, the
French send to America for fine per-
formers. The managers of the Hippo
drome winter circus and Folies Bergere
are now sending to this country for
gymnasts. Six or ten years ago the
French led the world in startling ath-
letic arts. but they have to yield to the
Americans now,o

the next day, and Bill, as we called him
listened, and then replied:

days more in which to get letter."
The surgeon consented and in two
days the latter came. Bill was very
nervous and excited, and he asked me
to read the epistle and give him the
news. 1t wasn't from his wife, but
from her sister and she wrote:
''C9n the day that you wrote Mary that
your leg would have to come off we
started to drive over to Uncle Ben's.
The horse run away, smashed every
thing up. and Mary's left leg was SO
badly broken that it WAS amputated

is doing we'll. She sends love, and
advises you to have your leg off at

There are many sorts of borders on
the new wo0lens; fringes, powdering of
polka dots, braiding initiated in weaving,
and plain stripes. The braiding is the
newest, and will probably prove to be
the least durable. 1t can hardly be eX-
pected to wear well. The thinner
woolen stuffs have fringes headed by
rows of EiffeI Tower points in a con-
trasting color. outlined by velvet match
ing the material. This is very ugly, but
where about ones dress, one is a poor
creature indeed in these DAYS.
