Are Robb ng and PilIagIng Estates in
Santiago Province.
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 27.-Lieutep-
ant Colonel Henry Ray, who had re-
ported to General Wood, military gov
ernor of the department, that Colonel
francisco Valiente, chief of gendar-
merle, had been arming the insurgents
and that several bands of robbers were
operating in the ighborhood of Guam
tanamo, has arrived here. He repeats
his charges against Colonel Valiente,
declaring that they are well founded.
Colonel Ray claims that this explains
the existence of the troubles with bands
of robbers who have infested the dis
tricts around Guantanamo. In one
case, Cuban major went so far as to
order the proprietors of sugar estate
not to grind. Colonel Bay sent a com
pany of United States troops to guard
the estate, whereupon the Cuban ma
jor took TO the woods with a band of
men, who have been ever since robbing
and pillaGing the estates nearby.
As result of this condition of
things, Colonel Rays entire regiment,
with the exception of two companies,
Is now scattered about the country
guarding prominent Cubans who have
censused Valiente.

PECULIAR CHICAGO HABIT.
a Great Many Citizens Always Go to
the Left In Entering or Leav-
ing buildings.

Chicago enjoys the exceptional dis
tinction of being The only left-handed
city in the union. That is, the good peo-
pie of this busting metropolis violate
all the rules of the road" SO far as the
matter of keeping to the right is con-
cerned when entering or leaving public
buildings. III a man, for instance, APP
proacncs building where the entrance
consists of two swinging doors, he will
invariably reach out with his left hand,
pull open the left-hand door and make
Il wild dash to get outside, running the
risk of collision with anybody who re-
members that to go to the right is the
first law of navigation on land, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
The habit of doing things the wrong
way has taken such firm hold on the
people that the man who uses the left
hand door and is run into glares in
amazement at the Offender" utterly
oblivious of the fact that he himself is
the one who should be blamed. 1t
makes no difference that there are two
doors of equal width, one for entrance
and one for exit. He, if going in, will
seize on the exit door and reverse the
proceeding if coming out. Half an
hours observation anywhere in the
business district will demonstrate the
truth of this assertion,

TEETH OF SOLDIERS.

Toothache has been lately a great
source of annoyance to the kaiser. Not
that the imperial molars are, SO far as
| know, threatened with premature. de-
cay. We're this the case, nobody would
risk the penalties of lese majesty by
openly asserting it. The case is, how
ever, from a public point of view, far
more serious. 1t appears that the entire
German army suffers from dental
troubles to such. an extent that it has
been found difficult to find non-com-
missioned officers capable of giving the
word of command. When they attempt
to utter familiar formula the Ten
toni" stand at easel" shoulder
arms!" and so forth, mere confused and
inarticulate sounds issue from their
toothless gums. Things are bad enough
on the parade ground, but what would
happen on a battlefield one hardly ven
lures to conjecture. Worse still, the
boys in the training school for mon
COINS" seem to be in no better plight
than their elders. Nearly all Of them,
after inspection, seemed to have one or
more hopeless tusks, while large pro-
portion can only be rendered fit for
service by strict submission to the dem
lists orders, and many are beyond the
reach of art. His majesty has resolved
to spend at once 11,0O0 marks on stop
ping the teeth of his Christian warriors
or in providing them with false sets.
This applies only to the Prussian con-
tingent. Several of the subject states
have not made up their minds to incur
the expense.

Yes.
aIf he can, what gives him such
power?"
Article !. Section s, Constitution OF
the United States. and Revised Stat
utes, Sections 1912 apd 1919
elias not the Governor of each State
the sole power over the militia OF
National Guard organized under the

No, no.
elias the Governor of a State power

to leave such State and do duty in
another?"
No.
Has not the Governor OF New Jer-
sey for example, Il perfect right to OBJ
ject to the entry of the militia or
National Guard Of another State upon
the soil of the State of New jersey
for any purpose whatever?"
@And las he not the right to resist
