aspirations of the Cretan Christians.
Colonel Vassos has entrusted the Bishop
with a courteous letter to the Turkish
officials here offering to surrender the two
Turkish officers and forty soldiers who
were captured by the insurgents at Malaxa.
The only condition that Colonel Vassos
imposes on the officials is that the men be
deported from the islands. He makes the
offer out of consideration for Turkish

Fort Winfield Scott was successfully de-
Tended yesterd ay against q gallant attack
of land forces under command of Captain
Brant, First Infantry.
The battle was sharp and decisive, the
enemy being repulsed with what would
have been heavy loss had the guns been
loaded. AS it was the fighting and
maneuvering offered spirited picture of
war to the spectators and an excellent OBJ
ject lesson to the troops.
: The day was fine, with a smart breeze
blowing from the sea- The call to arms
was sounded ct 1925 o'clock and the
brigade charged with the duty of defend
ing the fort fell in on the grounds in front
of the infantry barracks and the attacking
rarty on the cavalry parade grounds. This
party was dressed in the brown clothes OF
police duty.'
Both parties were of equal strength and
composition-two troops of cavalry, two
companies of infantry, one of heavy and
one of light artillery.
Orders hao been issued by Colonel
Young the day previous for the practical
working out of tactical problem under
the eye of Colonel George H. Burton, i'm
spector-generaI of the United States army.
The problem was the defense of a battery
posted on the heights above the fort as
against attack from a land force moving
against it from the rear or from the land
the direction of the garrison. The attack
was to be in the nature of a surprise-that
is, the men were to be called from the bar
racks to arms and to, take position at once
to.meet it.
Under the order the signal to begin the
attack was to be given in just one hour
from the call to arms. in which time the
party OF. defense was to move out all the
way to the fort and Immediately return
and take up their positions covering the
several approaches to the heights.
That. is as Captain James Lockett of
the Fourth, Cavalry, who was charged
with the defense, understood it. He laid
his plans and executed them excellentIy
in accordance with that understanding,
He had ridden over the ground the day
before with capable aids, and chose

The Japanese are no tyres in mat
tiers Of finance. Instead of adopting a
gold basis, as the gold organs have
been alleging, they have adopted a sill
yer bimetallio basis, cutting their gold
coins in half, and thus preserving the
existing ratio between money and
properties, without disturbing values
as would have been the case had they
gone TO gold basis. But this not all
the wisdom Of the willy Japs. If later
or there is a bimetallic basis establish
ed in this country OF by international
agreement at the ratio of 16 to / and a
parity is thus created between the two
metals at that ratio then Japan will
naturally float to q gold basis. This,
as half the gold has been taken out of
their gold coins would, when they re-
turn to the gold basis, preserve to
them the advantages Of q money stand

tage of 100 per cent. in exchange with

The phrase "a Land of Promise, ="
probably very nearly describes the cap
abilities of the island of Cuba. With
a length of rs miles, almost the dis
lance from New York to Chicago, a
width varying from 30 to 100 miles, and
an area about equal to that of Penn
syivania, Cuba, in the words of United
States Consul Hyatt, of Santiago de
Cuba, stands in geographical position
which, with her productive soil, min
eral wealth and climatic conditions,
should entitle her to rank among the
foremost countries of the world. That
she does not occupy anything like this
position is no Inherent fault of the is
land itself, but rather of conditions
growing out of the lack Of stable and
just government and of a cOntented
people. When the first essential is OBJ
taiued, it is the opinion of those &C
quainted with the island and its posi-
biIities, Cuba will rapidly proceed to
occupy its deserved position, Al
though discovered and settled more
than fifty years before the United
States, Cuba has still 100000 acres
of primevsl forests where the wood

King Georges close family connect
ions with many European courts i'm
pels some speculation as to the help
he may derive from these personal
sources, The list of his royal connect
ions is indeed striking. One sister is
the mother of the czar OF Russia, anoth-
is the princess of Wales; and his
daughter-in-law is a sister of the Ger
man emperor But the time is long
since past when family connections in
royal circles Can effect much the poll
tics of Europe. The people are very
jealous of being rnled through such in
fuences and no sovereign would dare
to yield to family peFsuasions if they
were III the least opposed to the sin

Of the German emperor is the daughter
of Queen Victoria, but that seems to
have not the slightest effect upon the
relations of England and Germany
Napoleon married the daughter of the

upon the course of Austria in the wars
that followed The politics of the
world have run far beyond the control
or personal whims Of royal families.
