From tune TO time Mrs Mary Shears
Roberts has contributed TO St Nicho-
las papers ON Historic Dwarfs." In
one number che tells Of Casan. . Tar
tar dwarf who took service under the
great Monaghan khan. Mrs. Roberts
thus describes his first appearance In
battle:
Now, it 70 happened that Genshis. In
order to subdue the destrters from hn
fathers tribes, had dethroned several
princes or khans. These petty chiefs had
been in the habit Of paying tribute 70
the great sovereign Of the Kin empire
in North China. This high and mighty
potentate now demanded money from
Genghis Khan. thereby rousing the ire
Of our MonRolian warrior. who an
nounced that, rather than pay one cont
for tribute he would fight the whole
Chinese kingdom. Preparations for war
were at once begun, and Casan was de-
lighted when he received orders to join
the army. At last his dream was real
lied. He was going to tight real battles,
and he was in command Of q body OF
troops. He babe adieu to his family and
with a proud heart set out to meet his
sovereign.
As a fiut step, Genghis Khan invaded
western Hea. captured several strong
holds and retired in the summer TO Q
place called : Jung Ting, in order TO e.
cape the great heat Of the plains o.
ueppes. While there news reached him
that several other khsns were preparing
for war. He thereupon descended from
the heights. marched against his foes
and in a pitched battle on the rive'
Irish he overthrow them completely
Casan attracted a great deal OF notict
on this occasion. He wa here. their
and everywhere. On his mettlesom'
charger he bounded into the thickest q
the fight hurting his lance with unesr
ing aim and display ing great courage.
After the fray he was summoned b
appear before the oonqueror, who com
plimented the dwarf. saying: "Th,
yalor and thy courage have completed.
justified thy promises. From this do,
forth thou shalt be q khan. Thou shall
have command Of large body Of troop
and shalt hereafter be my companion u

SECRETARY HERBERT SETTLES ANOTHER NAVAL
CONTROVERSY

Washington. Feb IS Special Secretary Herbert
has rendered decision which settles a question
that has loEg been the subject OF serious
troversy in the Navy. The question is the station
of marines board men-of-war The decision
brought about by an inquiry from Captain
Sands commanding the Columbia IN a communi.
cation addressed to Admiral Bunce. who referred
the question 10 the Navy Department. Captain
Sandss inquiry reads:
| respectfully request Interpretation OF Para
graph !. Articl" s@ OF Navy Regulations Of
1896 The first part of the paragraph appears to
allow the captain discretion rs to the assignment
OF the marin Euard a. 4 gun division. while the
latter part Of IL might b9 interpreted to be man.
datory upon him. These Interpretations appear 10
esf P %a sG fe IN h the SECOND n h9 rs
be impracticable 70 assign the marines as a gun
division, must they be assigned guns crews?
The reply Of the Navy Department saws in part:
Article 599. Paragraph ]. reads az follows: Thu
marine guard Is a distinctive part OF the compile.
ment OF the ship. and forms a division in the detail
of the whole force for battle. II shall be thor
oughy drilled and instructed at the guns OF the
main and second batteries. and may be stationed
as division, under It's own officers at either or
both OF such batteries. the captain may direct
II impractcable so to assign the marines as q
division they shall b. detailed as guns crews tho
marine officer or officers to command as many OF
such crews as practicable and after the assign
mcnt above outlined surplus men. II any shall
be distributed as the captain deems most effective
FOR battle"
Al the time OF approving this regulation the
Department had in contemplation the fact that
vessels OF the Navy diner materially in size and
armam ent. and therefore used in the second
sentence of the paragraph above quoted the word
may" thereby indicating the general policy which
IL considered should be followed in the matter OF
aSsig linS marines TO duty At the guns. 1t did not
deem ii advisable 10 make an absolute rule on this
subject. ,or the reason that such rule might not
have been capable OF being carried into eject on
board certain ships, but prescribed that when the
number Of men 80 permitted the first assignment
OF the marine guard should be "A division. In the
latter part OF the paragraph however IL rcsortci
10 the use o. the more positive word shall" I'm
order TO emphasize it's purpose that the marine
guard should De stationed At the guns and as far
practicable under its officers
TO the question propounded in paragraph 4 OF
your letter, viz: IT II should be mpracticable to
assign the marines as gun division must they
be assigned as guns crews?' an affirmative answer
Is rendered.
