ECHOES OF THE WAR.

"A striking picture OF the old and the new
navy was afforded in Boston the other day
when the Olympia, Americas naval cham
pon OF 1898, drew up and anchored by the
side OF the old Constitution, champion OF
the war of 1912. On one side OF the dock
was the quaint old wooden hulk, covered over
with temporary shed, its great yawning
portfolios cannonless. bottom touled beyond
all hope of modern naval motion through
years upon years OF idle swinging at the end
OF rusty cables in muddy dock waters. On
the other side OF the dock was the great
steel modern naval fighting machine, with
it's immense guns, rapid-1re batteries, tor
pedo tubes and electric mechanisms. fresh
still after fierce but victorious sea fight, and
newly returned from an astonishing cruise
around the world.
Truly no stronger contrast could be found
in the history of naval architecture than is
here shown.
The War department has made an exoep-
tion in the age rule governing enlistments
to permit James Robert Wasson aged SO, to
become a private in the army. Wasson
was once major in the army, but was
court -martialed and dismissed from the
service in 1883 for loss OF government money
In Texas. Born OF German parentage in
Ohio, he enlisted in the Thirty fourth Iowa
volunteers In 1864, and was engaged in the
Red River compaign. His aptitude for mill
tary life and an intellect OF rare promise
procured for him at the age OF 20 an ap-
pointment to West Point in 1867. General
Fred d. Grant had been appointed the year
before, and they at once became fast friends.
1t was an easy mastery for Wasson to keep
to the front in his studies and still find
time to coach his friend. President Grant
favored the friendship and showed the great
est appreciation Of wasson's kindness When
they graduated in 1871, Wasson stood at
the head OF his class and received the COM
mission OF second lieutenant His fame as
civil engineer had already spread beyond
the academy, and President Grant, proud to
favor his sons friend, gave him a years
leave of absence in China and japan. At
the end Of the year he resigned from the
United States army to take the chair OF
mathematics in the college of Hokkaido.
Japan. After a years service he became
surveyor in chief to the Kaitakaski Of Hok-
kaido. Later he was made chief engineer,
with rank OF colonel (chuza), in the i'm
peral army OF Japan, being engaged in the
Formosa campaign.
Though Wasson had freely lent his valor
and courage to another country, patriotic
love Of America filled his heart, and he once
more returned to the Stars and Stripes.
Once more President Grant showed the 10y
atty OF his friendship to Wasson, and while
he was but a second lieutenant when he left
this country and resigned from the army, he
made him a paymaster in the army with
rank OF major. This was in 1876. Seven
years later he was dismissed
After sixteen years Of retirement Was
sen, one Of the most brilliant cadets that
ever left West Point Military academy, IA
vored and honored by his own and other
countries, returns to join the ranks OF the
army as a private soldier.

state of GeOrgiH Against the Central
of Georgia and Others.

Atlanta, oct. "a bill Of exceptions in
the case OF the state against the Central
Railroad Of Georgia et al, was filed this
afternoon in the Putnam county Superior
Court.
This bill was filed by the counsel for the
state since the judgment of the court was
rendered in favor of the Central Railroad,
and against the contention OF the state
that the Central had violated the constitu-
ton in defeating or attempting to defeat
competition.
The bill, it IS understood, does not al
lege any specific error in the decision OF
Judge Hart Of the Ocmulgee circuit but
is based on the broad ground that in de-
Gliding that the Central Railroad ct. al. had
not violated the constitution by the pur-
chase Of the Middle Georgia and Eatonton
branch road, the court was in the wrong
and had committed error.
The effect of this, it is said, will be that
before the Supreme Court the entire case
will come up for revision, ana not any one
particular point I'm #.
