of that opinion. Having a majority OF

the banquet, but as to the dance, left
that for consideration Monday, when
the committee will meet again. In the
meantime the male members Of the COM
mittee are determined to give the boys
good square meal, knowing from ex-
perience that the stomach is the surest
passage to a mans happiness, and they
have proposed to a prominent caterer
to furnish dinner for $50 or more, az
the case may demand. and this will come
up for consideration on Monday. The
finance committee have $107 raised for
the bnaquet.

Still Undecided
NOT AS THEY DO NOW
How New York Received Heroes of
the Other War

The following extract from letter
written by Sir Walter Besant, the emf
nent English novilist to friend in
New York is characteristic as coming
from a man of sound judgment who is
deeply interested in the present situa-
ton. The letter is dated July 14th, and
reads in part as follows:

occupations and engagements. The i'm

There was some fear in my mind wheth
err the excellent promise and blossom Of

blasts of misrepresentation and hostii-

can strategy. The former fear now seems
unfounded.

self in malignity, but without the least
effect 1t is, on the other hand, apparent
that the continental powers look upon
an Anglo-Saxon understanding with the
utmost dismay. Our friend Kaiser Will
helm is credited with a scheme for the
joint action Of Germany, Russia and
France against Great Britain. If that
scheme Is to include the expulsion of
America from her new possessions, it
will take little more time to carry it
through.
1.-THE other fear was more real. 1t can
not be that war can be conducted with
out mistakes. Criticism on strategic
mistakes and on disaster is apt q be,
outspoken and pitiless Happily so far

we have nothing to do but to admire

best possible of each other as regards

last night to rejoin his command at
jacksonville. He wished, he said, to

The encouragement has rendered an
opinion that the retirement of officers
of the regular army who have been pro-
NOTED to the volunteer service does not
affect their volunteer commissions. II
is held that these officers have separate
commissions, and the volunteer service

placed on the retired list as a regular
