WHAT MIGHT OF
HAPPENED TO US
An Officer of Four Armies Re-
views Certain Conditions
HAD GREAT BRITAIN OPPOSED

recently wrote a caustic private
letter which affords material for
very serious thought to some of
the hasty individuals and news
papers who are Dragging loudly of
the victories achieved by our
army and navy and who seem to
think, although they have evident
ly not taken time for thought. that
because the United States has
taken Santiago and sunk two
Spanish fleets vastly inferior to
ours that we have accomplished
wonders in the time occupied by
the war The following extract
from this letter perhaps contains
the gist of its argument:
Let the people know that the
political montebank is the party
responsible for our failure to make
good our word and deliver the
starving Cubans. Had he not
fought, tooth and nail, every rec
ommendation made by the exec
utive and the army for the last 20
years, long ere this the country
would have been thrilled at the
news of Havana's fall and Cuba's
freedom.
Except to the Cubans the inef-
ticiency-or rather insutiiciency
that is everywhere apparent, and
which is due solely to previous
legislation, is not vital. But +
ask, as does every professional
soldier in the world today, what
would have been the case had not
England, for certain reasons of
her own, determined upon course
of friendly neutrality with us?
Undoubtedly if she had not SO
determined France, Russia, Aus
tria and Italy would have formed
an alliance with Spain against the
United States. Now, in spite of
all arguments to the contrary, with
England truly neutral, their com
bined fleets could have crushed
ours, and with ships that today
they have in subsidy. $4,000 they
could have landed an army of four
million men upon our shores under
the guns of their fleets. More
over the wonderful wealth of our
country between the Atlantic and
Mississippi would be capable of
providing for such an army for
years. With that number of men
they could easily establish and
hold bases of supplies within our
own territory and operate from
them Independently of coast bases
and home supplies.
"But they would not have to &C
to that trouble. 1t would be un.
necessary. Had such an army in
vaded this country Immediately
upon our declaration of war, il
could have marched by this time
from the Atlantic to the Rockies

Glad She Befriended the Tramp.

Through simple act of charity the
other day Mrs Erank Kennedy, of
West PhiladelpS !, Penn, solved
mystery of long standing.
Last August Mrs. Kennedy broke
gold locket which she priced highly,
as it contained picture and lock of
hair of her dead mother. She, of
course, desired to have the repairs
made by a frst-class jeweler, SO she
intrusted the locket to the care of her
brother, who was acquainted in. the
iewelry trade. The brother was about
to go on trip through New York
State, but he promised to leave the
locket with Philadelphia jeweler on
his way to the train and return there
ceipt by mail. Two days later Mrs.
Kennedy received letter from her
brother, who said he would bring the
locket with him when he returned,
but did not mention where it was be-
ing repaired. Early in September
despatch came stating that the brother
had died suddenly in Utica and that
the body and effects would be sent on
at once. Some time later Mrs. Ken
nedy remembered her locket, but, al
though she made thorough search of
her brothers papers and clothes, she
could find no trace of it. Inquiries
were made of all the large jewellers,
and advertisements were inserted in
the newspapers, but the locket was
never found.
Recently forlorn tramp came to
the Kennedy residence and was given
something to eat. In return he did
some work, and Mrs. Kennedy de-
cided to give him a suit of her
brothers clothes. which she had kept.
The ''hobo" seemed very grateful, and
after donning the suit left. The day
after he returned and gave Mrs. Ken
nedy piece of paper he had found in
the vest lining. It proved to be re-
ceipt for the long-lost locket, which
had been left with a well-known firm
of New York jewelers.. To avoid any
risk Mrs. Kennedy went to New York
in person and recovered her locket.-

TALK WITH MRS. P1NKHAM.


A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
:" the blues nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
LYNN. Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story Of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told IN the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to

When London Must Change.

The best statisticians estimate that
in the year 1941 London will contain
over II, 900, 900 of inhabitants. People
say, How appalling! To me the
prospect seems full of hope. What an
agreeable life one might live in such
city, if fair proportion Of its popula-
ton were even moderately civilized!
There would be public for every
kind of art. Every sort of theatre
might flourish, every kind Of concert
might be daily given. There would
be practically no limit to the variety
of opportunities that each individual
might enjoy in the midst of such vast
assemblage. But it would take long
for them to settle down.
To begin with, London would have
to be rebuilt Its streets are not wide
enough for the traffic of any such
multitude; they would have to be
widened. For every line of rails COM
ing into London there would have to
be three lines. The number of steam
ers coming to our ports would need
to be more than trebled. Practically
none of our present arrangements
would suffice. Everything would
have to be organized afresh. I need
not enlarge upon such considerations;
they are. obvious. Nineteenth Cen

Eoy Versus Goat.

They tell good one on Adjutant
Philip Yateman, of the Fourth Vlr-
ginia, and how he parted with a crlsE
$5 bill on payday recently. One OF
the mascots of Camp Cuba Libre-a
goat this time-prowled into the
vicinity where Adjutant Yateman was
comfortably seated entertaining his
friends with some rich anecdotes.
While goats, generally speaking, are
repellent, this one was attractive, and
became the topic of the conversation.
Speaking of the goats eccentricities.
it was concluded by all, just as the
stable-boy approached, no one could
hold down a goats head to the ground,
and rub the goats nose in the sand.l
mo, sir,' said the 'adjutant. I'll
bet $5 it can't be done.' The stable
boy stood, and asked:
"Do you mean that, captain?"
"I do" was the reply.
sAnd you will give me SIS if do
it?"
Certainly" with areassuring smile
on his lips.
Then the stable-boy, with rolled-up
sleeves, approached the goat. He had
him by the horns, and then they
tussled. Down, down, came his head,
lower and lower, but the ground
seemed good way off yet; and then,
in the miniature, there was enacted
the scene of the fight of the Lygian
with the bull, as described in "Quo
Vadis.' Every one was intensely in
terested and excited. and the goat and
the boy furnished lots of sport. With
the muscles of his little arms standing
out like whipcords, the boy brought
that goats nose down to the sand and
rubbed it good and well, until the
dust flew as fast and furiously under
his nose as it did from his paving
feet. Adjutant Waterman had addedto
his list brand new S. anecdote.-

savagely with their tusks, and SO
harassed and lacerated it as to force it
to relinquish its prey. The python
