y feature of this which must be
giving certain eminent men in Europe
good deal Of amusement is the demand by
certain entcrprising newspaper correspond

and that about which they have next to no
information at all. If General Miles issues
an order or is reported to have issued an
order General Thingumbob of Germany is

or expediency. If Admiral Sampson while
running along the Cuban coast drops a
shell or two into a Spanish block house
or into the thick of a squad of Spanish
cavalry, Admiral " hatdoyoucalem of
France is asked what he thinks of that
for daring and strategy.
No man may say how much these men
are embarrassed by such heterogeneous
or how glad they would be to escape them.
But, taken thus on two sides-on the side
of ordinary personal vanity and on the side
of courtesy-they yield. and express them

In this way both General Miles and Ad-
miral Sampson have been made targets for
foreign criticism altogether undeserved and
in reality simply ridiculous. What is the
OBJECT OF this? Simply to make 'copy?"
