Interpreting the Uniform Order.

Acting Secretary Meikeljohn of the War
Department has written letter giving ad-
ditional Interpretation to the rule govern
ing the wearing of uniforms by ex-volun-
teer officers. while this department." he
says, has no authority under the law to
prescribe the uniform that shall be worn
by ex-oficers of volunteers who are not
now in the military service of the United
States. the department Is of the opinion
that any such officer may properly wear
the uniform now prescribed for an officer
Of the army Of a grade equal to the highest
grade held by the ex-volunteer officer by
brevet or other commission, except that
the number of a regiment or the device of
a staff corps or department should not be
worn in any case.
'It is deemed proper to remark. however,
that there is nothing in the laws of the
United States to prevent an ex-officer of
volunteers, who is not now in the army,
from wearing the uniform that was pre-
scr.bed for the army at the time he was in
the volunteer service. and the department
Is of the opinion that he would be entitled
to wear such uniform. IL he should choose
to- do so. on he occasions specified in sec
ton 1926 of the Revised Statutes"

Consular Records Searched.

The Secretary of State has been In cor
respondence for several months with the
government of Peru respecting an alleged
violation of one OF our consular agencies
at Piura in that country. 1t appears that
during the seizure Of the goods OF the con-
sular agent. a feed official who has been
for many years a merchant in the place.
some of the consular records were searched.
That at least, is the story of the consular
agent, while on the other hand the Peru
Wan state officials who served the writ
deny that the papers were molested. The
department Is now eEdeavoring to ascer-
tain the facts, and 1t has no doubt that.
IL II should be established that the consul
lar records were really violated, the Peru
Wan government will make all necessary
amends and disayow the act.

snltsted Strength Of the Army.

According to officers of the War DEPART
n.ent. the present enlisted strength of the
army is now nearly up to the full number
allowed by law and can be easily maintain
ed without any unusual activity on the part
of the recruiting officers. The material new
secured is of a higher standard than the
army has ever had, and owing to the regu-
lations designed for the comfort and hap
piness of enlisted men, the department pre-
diets that this year will show fewer deser-
tions than for some time past.

A DRIFTING BUOY.

It's Remark bile Record AN Shown by
photographic Office Chart.
The chart of the North Atlantic ocean
just issued by the photographic Office re-
cords a most remarkable drift of a whis-
thing buoy. This buoy broke from its
moorings off Martha's Vineyard just one
year ago, and started southwark, since
which time it has been twice reported.
Its total drift was little over 1000 miles.
1t was first reported February last, 800
miles due east of Bermuda, where it struck a
southwesterly current that set it toward the
Haytien coast. and on July Z. when last re-
ported. it was rapidly making its way to-
ward this island, and unless it strikes the
gulf stream and is swung around and sent
north again will probably next be heard
from at some of the eastern islands of the
Windward group.

Mrs. Green's Advice.

Every New Woman in Christendom
should read and profit by Mrs Hetty
Green's receipt for raising daughters.
AS the richest woman in America and
as the Greater Of her immense fortune,
Mrs. Green is pointed out by the New
Woman as an exemplification Of what
the sex would be capable Of accomp-
fishing If enfranchised and endowed
with advantages in the laws Of the land.
But this female wizard of finance shows
by her talk on the homely topic Of
bringing up children that she is very
Old Woman and has no sympathy with
the enfranchising movement
What Mrs. Green has to say about
the rearing of her daughter is COM
mended to every mother in the land. ST
have reared Sylvia according to my
ideas Of the proper training for woman
hood" says this remarkably sensible
Mrs. Hetty Greene in speaking of her
only daughter, who will some day in
herit fortune OF tens of millions. 81
have told her often that do not like TO
see women In the business world, that
it is an unnatural life for them, and
that they should never go into IL unless
they are forced to do so. / have held
constantly before her that home 10 the
place Of safety and happiness for WON
an. am glad that she does not 60
about with the airs of Grand Duchess.
l would feel that my training was in
vain If she was not modest and retiring.
It Is not an inspiring, but depressing
sight to me, that of woman in the
front ranks and under the fierce glare
OF public life."
There is touch of the old-fashioned
way OF bringing up girls in this talk Of
one OF the most conspicuous women in
the worlG that must forcibly impress
those who read it. II Is reminicent Of
the manners Of time when the real
foundation Of American character was
being laid. This sensible daughter Of
a sensible mother is American TO the
core, and 1t is safe to rely upon her moi
entertaining the European marriage
market and purchasing title TO which
small manhood Is attached, as 80 many
rich girls OF this country have DONE
st. Louis Republic.
