KiNDERGARTENS.
The System Proving Successful for Indian
 Children.

WASHINGTON, June LA system of kindergartens recently established on some of the Indian reservations has proved so successful that it is soon to be widely extended, especially in the southwest. Indian children are usually shy, but under the influence of the kindergarten games they have been found to rapidly lose this shyness and to become friendly with each other and their teachers A number of new day schools will also soon be opened in that part of the country. It has been found best to educate these chil- dren as far as possible in kindergar- tens rather than in boarding schools. The principal work of the schools at present is in the line of industrial edu- cation. The girls are being taught cooking and sewing

A SPECIAL PLEADER.
Austria Does Not Correctly State
the Question.

NEW YORK, Dec. pa dispatch
to the Herald from Vienna says:
In the course Of an interview with
Prof. Lsmmasche, the leading
authority in Austria on interna-
tional law, he said: "The entire
wrong is in my opinion, on the side
of the Americans. In the first
place, word about that curious
motto "America for Americans"
from which Americans deduce the
conclusion that no European state
can intervene. The theory does
not, to me, seem to be sustained
from any point OF view. 1t recalls
a similar motto-that of the east
ern empire, in which all Europeans
were called collectively "Franks"
because France was then, in the
twelfth century, the principal
power of the west. 1t goes with
out saying the circumstances would
not now give France the slightest
right to assert a protectorate over
all the Franks of the IIevent.
"Such a case, however, would be
just as valid as that Of the United
States. The fact that it is now the
custom to speak Of the United
States collectively as "America,"
gives 1t no right to set itself up as
a protecting power over all the
states of North, Central and South
America.
Furthermore, the Interpretation
that the Washington government
now gives the Monroe doctrine,
does not at all agree with the text
of the address of President Monroe
in 1923. where he expressly states
that the existing colonies that are
independencies OF any European,
powers shall not be interfered
with.
"Besides the Monroe doctrine is
not a dogma of international law,
but only program political. The
United States has interpreted it as
it pleased. l have merely to recall
the treaty regarding the Panama
canal; also its attitude in the
Mexican question in 1868. Only in
1866 did the United States govern
ment at last find it's strength and
occasion TO remember about the
Monroe doctrine"

PORTO RICO WARMING UP.
The Island on the Ragged Edge to
Aid Cuba.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-An import
ant meeting of the Porto Rican
colony in this city was held last
night. Among those present were
Juan Terreforte, Gumersindo Rivss,
G.. G. Forst Manuel Bebosa, Sotero
Figureoa, E. Castro and E. Molina.
DIR. Henns, in an eloquent speech,
recited the wrongs to which Porto
Rica is subjected under Spanish
rule and said: "Porto Rico has
been for four hundred years under
the subJugation of Spain. You
know the history of SPANS op-
preston and we all know how she
conducts her colonies. 1t is about
time to call a halt to the mis-gov-
eminent of our native land. We
want a government Of the people,
for the people, and by the people,"
Senior Rivas, the publisher Of
Ell Deber, revolutionary news
paper in this city, was the next
speaker. He pictured the oppressed
condition of the Porto Ricans who
are asking for: freedom all over the
island, and told Of the great
struggle the Cubans are making to
secure their independence. Con-
tinuing he said: "The Cuban war
has attained formidable proper
tions. Our time has come. Our
brethren in the island are we'll
organized. II we fall, their ex-
ample is bound to succeed. De-
spite all the precautions Spain
may take to guard ports and watch
our coasts our expeditions will
land at the given moment agreed
for the fight and when the cry for
independence is raised our breth-
rem will be in the field"

ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL.
Great Shops for Turning Out War
Material,

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Dec. 4.-Now
that speculation is being INDUCED
in as to tho showing that the
United States could make upon
short notice in case of war, the re-
sources of the government arsenal
located upon the island that
divides the Mississippi at this
point should not be overlooked.
The Rock Island arsenal at present
employees 700 men, with the max.
ing only of arms. Its great empty
shops, however, that were built
solely with the view of allowing
the capacity OF the arsenal to be
multiplied many times in case of
war, need only the introduction Of
the necessary force to make this
centrally located government post
hive OF industry from which it
is estimated that an army of $780,
600 men could be equipped in the
course of a year. The present
plant, besides the arsenal, consists
Of the immense shops located upon
the highest parts Of the island.
Those now in use are equipped for
rolling and forging metal in con-
formity with the varied demands
of war material, and for working
in wood and leather upon large
scale. These shops are connected
with the water power Of nearly
1000 horse power that the govern
ment has already developed on
the south side of the island. This
is, however, small figure COM
pared with the water power that
might be developed here in case OF
need, as the island lies at the foot
Of Davenport rapids, extending
twenty miles above the city. There
are coal fields easily adjacent in
Illinois and an unlimited supply
of electric power is available from
the three cities of Davenport and
Rock Island and Moline, Ills,
which nearly surround the
island

Another Gold Bond Issue.


New YORK, Dec ga special
to the Herald from Washington
says: At a conference of the cabi-
net officers, it was decided to issue
bonds at once to replenish the gold
reserve.
Members of the cabinet who are
in the city, were summoned to the
white house, and president went
over the situation with them. 1t
was decided that Secretary Carlisle
should at once prepare for the is
sue. The administration was in
consultation with some Of the late
acknowledgment syndicate, but it
could not be learned last night
whether the new bonds are to be
taken by the syndicate or whether
proposals are to be asked for by the
secretary of the treasury. The
amount of the issue, it is said, will
be enough to raise the gold reserve
above the 100000, 900, although it
is not intended to sell any more
bonds than seems to be absolutely
necessary, because it is believed
that the present furry will soon
pass over in view of the growing
belief in the peaceful settlement of
the Venezuelan controversy, and
that restored confidence will re-
move the necessity for more bonds,
or make it easier to place them.
