Dunn bullet an intere sting question has
arisen whether the new bullet is an
explosive bullet. In the house of COM
mons recently the secretary Of state
for India was quite indignant because
the Dum-Dum bullet was referred to
as an explosive bullet. Strictly speak

ban Of the International law and the
customs of war, but the line Oh de-

Dunn bullet consists CT solid lead en-

between it and the Lee-MetIord bullet
is that the bullet is encased all over

5 WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE num-
! Der of war correspondents who have
: gone to the front bearing the So-called
pass" from the war department has
\ now reached very nearly 200. 1t is no
! easy task for a stranger to obtain this
courtesy. He must be introduced prop
erly. identified by some one known to
the department, and have with him
a credential Of some sort from the pa
per he proposes to serve.
These preliminaries are no mere emp
ty form, as the correspondent will dis
cover who comes into Washington from
the North on one train, intending TO
leave for the South on the next; for his
papers must be scrutiniZed, and the
Z assistant secretary of war must salts
fly himself positively that the man is
proper person in be intrusted with a
paper from the department. and then
the filled-in blank must take it's place
in the midst of the pile submitted for
signature at the same hour in the
+. afternoon with the mass of daily mail.
AS a consequence, the time consumed
in getting one of these documents is
rarely less than twenty-four hours.
NON-CCMMlTAL PASS.
When obtained, the pass" proves
to psa nothing more than a stereotyped
o. letter of introduction To the comnland-
!. ing officer at the point to which the
correspondent is directing his steps.
1t cannot be used at that place, even
to insure free ingress and egress of the
Z. military lines, Until it has been coun-
vtersigned by some officer designated
jby the commander. After that, IL gives
the correspondent no assurance that he
will be permitted to accompany the
army when it moves. In response to a
suggestion that the correspondents
corps with the army of invasion would
soon be large enough to be armed and
equipped and turned to martial use as
in independent battalion, a prominent
officer of the war department said to-
day: THAT would be true, if they
were all to go with the army; but only
a handful of them will be taken. The
letter of introduction we give is guard
ed only by our presumption, from what
I'VE can see and learn of the man here,
Fythat he is worthy of courteous treat
Ement.
81 1T is practically nothing but such
note as you might give to a. casual
acquaintance about to travel intro
ducing him to the proprietor of hotel.
E1ou take no responsibility for his aDii-
Ety to pay his bills, but you would not
&give the note, if you did not have rea-
son to assume that he would be willing,
bat least, to pay them.
THE SITTING OUT.
when the time comes for the army
10 move, these men will have become
somewhat seasoned and will have
shown, under tests of one sort and an
bther, of how good material they are
made. There will then be a rigid pro-
eess Of sitting out. That will be done
BY the general commanding the expedi-

called, few will be chosen, and the
aeartburnings of those left behind will
doubtless be intense"
Some of the correspondents who are
moving to the front now have seen
service in former wars. Not few Of
those who come from abroad were with
either the Turkish or the Greek army
r Crete. One of these, speaking of the
precautions observed in Washington in
connection with the present war, said:
This is very different from my last eX-
oerience With the Greek army anybody
kould do anything. No papers or passes
were required; you could go where you
pleased, inside or outside of the lines;
you were held to no account for what
rou said or for what you wrote, but you
