statement OF the Spanish position u.s.
to the surrender of Cuba:
"Oncc and for all, let il be under

lated to inspire false hopes and cm-

irresponsible rule and ut the same
time terminate IA Spanish authority
ir~reparably bound up with tho
prosperity OF the island. For thi.
and other reasons. the reports
that Spain is slowly yielding to

mischicvous and groundless. No
rulers, no statesmen, no cortes of
Spain would ever consider such q hu-
initiation. But, in the face OF it, Spain,
always DESTROYS OF peace and ready by
every honorable means to secure peace,
will stand r~esolutely in defense OF her

UNIFORMS OF ALL TINES.

Valerius Maximus, the Roman en-
peror, ordered the Roman soldiers to
wear red so they would not be fright
ened at the sight Of their own blood,
and even now red forms a conspicuous
part of French and English uniforms.
In our own army red is not used ex-
cept for facings, on the ground that
it attracts attention in the field,
though experiments in Germany prove
that q blue target is hit three times
where red one is hit once. ."
During the revolutionary war each
colony had it's militia, and the euniforms
of each body were different. Later
the higher officers came to be known
by the colored ribbons worn across
their breasts, and the lower officers
by the cockade worn in their hats.
In 1921 dark blue was declared to be
the national uniform color for both
officers and enlisted men, the only ex-
ception being scarlet coats for mu-
sicians and gray coats for cadets.
Various changes took place in the
shape OF the clothing of the soldiers
until 1868, when our uniforms became
practically fixed, the cloth for the
trousers being light blue and the fac
fngs being light blue for infantry, yel-
low for cavalry and red for artillery.

WEDDING CUSTOMS.

Romans who had as many as three
children were exempt from the pay
ment of personal taxes and they were
paid instead by the bachelors.
In modern times women have been
sent over to the French settlement OF
Canada after the men. and in order to
compel unwilling bachelors to marry
they were heavily taxed and restric-
tions were placed on their business and
movements generally.
In Russia # man marries an heiress
he does not get the lingering Of her
money. There is marriage settlement
and the wife controls her properly as
absolutely as the spinster- The faan-
cial independence of Russian wives con-
tributes in no small degree to their con-
jugal happiness.
Ancient Rome was severe with its
bachelors, who were made to pay heavy
fines and were subjected to even worse
treatment, for il is ON record that
Camillus. after the siege of Veil, COM
pelled them to marry the widows OF
those soldiers who had fallen in battle.
In the time of Augustus married men
were preferred for filing public Of
fees.

KEEPS DREYFUs IN PRISON.


Paris, Oct. 81. Despite evidence
which many consider absolute proof
of his innocence, Alfred Dreyfus, the
prisoner Of DEVILS island, must await
In his cage the RESULT Of the revision Of
his case ordered by the court Of cassa-
ton Saturday. With liberty for the
captain apparently at hand. this de-
cision comes as q severe blow to his
wife and friends, for fear each hour Of
imprisonment is taking years from the
prisoners life. No one can tell how
many days or even months it will be
until the technicalities of the law are
complied with and Dreyfus' innocence
publicly proclaimed. It is even limited
that documentary proof Of the pris-
oher's freedom from guilt may never
be obtained, as those who would suffer
in his stead have had ample time to de-
stroy discriminating evidence.
Yvos Guyot. in the Steele, asserts that
the secret documents in the Dreyfus
case were burned some days ago. II
this is true the probability is that Drey-
fus cannot be cleared and the only
hope for him will be pardon or anuul-
ment of the sentence. which will still
leave stain upon his name.
Although the courtroom was crowded
when the judges, after 3H hours of de-
liberation, announced their decision. no
demonstration occurred. Since the re-
view of the case by Reporter Bard
Thursday little doubt has existed re-
garding the finding and all were pre-
pared for the order of revision. A sup
Elementary inquiry is promised and
Capt. Dreyfus' friends. who are grow
ing more numerous every day, will in
sist that as little delay as possible be
permitted. The decision created no
public excitement and complete tran
guilty prevails on the streets.
By Saturda US decision the court of
cessation obtains the most absolute
control over the Dreyfus case. 1t can
demand and examine any documents
whatever. including the dossier, of any
case bearing upon the Dreyfus matter
and can examine under oath any wit
ness, however high his position. In
short, if the court makes a sincere use

much better chance of being discovered
than would have been the case had it
merely ordered revision before another
court-martial, whose members might
have been actuated by desire to shield

Although the liberation of Dreyfus
has not been ordered, the court can Or
der him brought to France at any mo-
ment, and will probably do so at an
early stage of the inquiry. The court
refrained from ordering his release on
Saturday because it would have been a
presumption of his innocence.

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.
Millions of Bushels Are Being SfOres
by Kansas Farmers Until Higher
Prices Are Offered.

Topeka, Kan., Oct. 31.-Kansas farm
ers refuse to sell wheat at present
prices. This years crop of 10000, 900
bushels, together with 100000 to 2o,-
100000 bushels of old wheat, is piled up
in the farmers granaries and elevators,
held for higher price. This has re-
suited in the closing of many mills in
the state and has materially affected
railroad traffic. Several months since
the Kansas roads made preparations for
big rush of wheat shipments, but their
trains are going out empty. Thousands
of freight cars were hunted up and re-
paired for use, but they have not been
needed. The farmers of the state are
financially independent, having paid
their debts from previous crops, and
can afford to hold their wheat indef-
nitely.
