HIS TRIAL IS POSTPONED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Sept. 21.-yhe trial Of Colonel
Picquart and M. Loplois, a lawyer, on
the charge Of revealing documents con-
corning the national defense, was to
have begun to-day before the Correc-
tional tribunal. The Public Prosecutor,
however, asked for an adjournment on
the ground that the prosecution Of Col
onel Picquart on the charge of forgery
and using forged documents had been
ordered by the Minister Of War
M. Laboirie, who was counsel for M.
lola during the latter's famous trial,
Indignantly opposed the adjournment,
which he said was an attempt to hand
over Colonel Picquart into the clutches
of the military authorities.
Colonel Picquart then rose and made
a statement which caused a sensation
He said:
This is, perhaps, the last time I shall
speak in public, for / shall sleep, per-
haps, in the military prison of Cherche
Midi. Therefore, wish to declare that
If find there the strangling cord Of LIE
MERCER Picard or the razor of Colonel
Henry it will be murder, for have no
idea Of committing suicide"
The audience was intensely moved,
and shouted: "Vive Picquart."
The Judges, however, after short
elaboration, decided to indefinitely adj
journ the case, and Colonel Pfcquart
was led away between policemen.
LIE Mercier Picard, the man referred
to by Colonel Picquart, was a detective
understood to have been employed In
the Dreyfus affair. who was found
hanged In his lodgings about a year
ago under circumstances which casts a
doubt upon the theory put forward that
he had committed suicide.
The papers here say that the Minister
Of War, Genera Chanoine. has exam
ined the documents in the Dreyfus case
and has ordered the prosecution Of
Colonel Picquart on the charge of forg-
cry and using forged documents.

have committed suicide and 1t was sug-

ENGLISH LANGUAGE GROWING

We all know that the English Ian
guage has been growing at a re-
narkable rate during this century.
and that 1t has been spreading over
the whole globe. But few, however
really comprehend how rapid this
growth has been At the opening of
the century French was spoken by
81 600 900 people. German by 30 900 900.
Russian by 30,O00,000, Spanish by 81
100000, English by 2t,O00,000, and
Italian by 100000. Today Eng
fish is the language OF 10000, 900,
French of $4,000 900, German Of TO-
100000, Russian OF $4,000 900. Spanish
OF 45,000,000, and italian of 35 ,O0O,-
coo. In other words, during the
pl esent century English has not only
risen from the fifth place to the first,
but has gained enormously on the
rest In relative magnitude, expanding
from about IL per cent OF tho total
to over 30 per cent. With this in
crease in the EnglIsh-speaklng peo-
pie the language itself has kept pace
Concurrent with this growth OF the
language there has been an equal, II
not greater, increase In knowledge.
Three hundred years ago one man
could know all there was to be known.
Today one man can know thoroughly
only one small branch OF one science.
This increase of knowledge has been
most rapid during the last part OF the
present century.
More than any other cause. the
Progress of modern invention and sci
ences has brought about an enormous
extension OF tho language. Thousands
OF technical words and expressions
now In common use would never have
Geen coined but for the Innumerable
parts OF the neyer-ending list Of new
inventions In mechanics, and djscoy-
cries In science. In no better way
can this rapid increase in knowledge
and thereby In the number OF words
used, be realized than by a comparI-
son OF the first reference works with
those OF the present day st. Louis

BROKEN ENGAGEMENTS.
Trivial Causes for Putting an End To
Betrothals.

Perhaps one Of the most curious aud
mt the same time unreasonable causes
for breaking off an engagement was
the young lady who discarded her lover
for the simple reason that he was
clean shayen. A magnificent Offer
from a large commercial house caused
her young man TO change his position
in business, and after occupying his
now situation few days he received
polite intlmation from the manager
that he allowed none Of his employees
To grow boards or mtlBtaches As the
position was good one the mustache
which was a remarkably handsome
onc-had perforce TO come OFF. and on
his ladyloyo hearing Of this she ox-
pressed an immediate desire 10 have
nothing more to do with her mustache-
less lover. II might be interesting 10
note that the lady In question Is now
happy In the possession Of young fell
low who proudly sports a muBt9che Of
the largest and cnrliest description,
while the unfortunate msistaehelesa
young man wisely took unto himself
wife whose caprices IN this and other
directions were OF more sensible
turn.
Although the ubiquitous bike" has
done much TO amuse the community at
large. yet II is astonishing to learn the
number OF engagements which have
been severed In consequence OF the gay
Romeo becoming so deeply enamored
81 his wheel that his affections for his
fair lady must necessarily suffer In a
proportlona.e manner. A young lady
OF our acquaintance recently conflded
to us that she gave up her Fred be-
couse he preferred cycle to herself"

AVERAGE HEIGHT or MEN.

During the war measurements were
made of over 10000 men In the
United States army, and II was found
that the average height of men born
in the United States was CTS inches.
According to Topinard. tho average
height Of Englishmen, Scotehmen and
Swedea Is GA inches; lrishmen, G7,
Germans, CO.; Frenchmen, Co. Danes,
Co., Russians, ESD; Chinese, Ga;
lIushmen, G2; Laplanders, GOT; Amer
lean Indians, GS.2; Patagonians, 1913.
Taking these measurements rs n basis
the average for the world would be
about 65.S. Natives OF the United
States, II will be observed, are taller
than any other representatives of the
Caucasian race, and 1t 10 an interest
ing fact that residence on this CONT
nent, or, at least. the northern part
OF 1t, tends to develop all the races In
respect OF height, weight and muscu-
lar power. Thus, In the army meas
urements referred to the average
height Of foreign-born citizens was
less than the average OF American
born, but greater than the average in
their respective countries. The high
average Of the Indians Is another
point In proof No statistics of the
height OF women have ever been tabu-
