Small Business For a Large Nation.
Whatever may have been the admin
istration's object in ordering the muster
ing out of the volunteer regiments, now
returning from Manila, at San Fran
cisco instead of in their home states,
it smacks strongly of littleness, or
neaness, many degrees beneath what
might reasonably be expected Of q
great nation.
Some say the order was designed as
sort of punishment for the volunteers
on account of their refusal to fe-enlist,
while others contend that the muster
ing out of the men at San Francisco
was to prevent their coming East. and
telling the truth to the people about
conditions in the Philippines"
Whatever may have been the I'M
worthy motives of the administration
in issuing the order, it cannot dim the
glory, or prevent the return of the
volunteer regiments to their homes.
The people of the several states will do
what the Federal Government should
have done, they will bring their regi-
ments home by special trains from San
Francisco, and, in addition, see that!they
are given royal welcome all along the
route.

Plans We're Upset by the Shooting Of
Maitre Labori.
Rennes, France, Aug. 14.-The shoot
ing of M. Labori, leading counsel for
Captain Alfred Dreyhls, robbed the
morning session of the Dreyfus court
martial of its paramount interest. The
murderer, apparently, chose the day
for the attempt because it was antici-
pated that NJ tabori would crush Cen
eral MERCER. the former minister Of
war, with his cross-quest1oning.
The news of the shooting of M. La
bori caused an immense sensation In
the court room, where the usual audi
ence had assembled, awaiting the en-
trance of the judges M. Labori's alb
sence had just been announced. when
suddenly M. Jaunay, syndic of the ju-
dietary press, rushed into the room and
shouted:
IN. Labor has been shot"
All present gave gasp of horror
| and surprise and every man jumped to
his feet and volley of questions was
hurled at M. Jaunay's head, who, cry
ing, "That is all l know" rushed out
OF court again, followed by number
| of his hearers. Those who remained
excitedly discussed the crime and Wig.
orously denounced the authors.
Colonel Jouaust. president of the
court, when the news reached him
suspended the sitting of the court
| martial until 7:15 a. m.
When the court-martial was resumed
General Mercier was confronted with
M. Casmir-Perier, the former presiden
of France. The latter declared tina
Mercier's story. told on the witness
stand Saturday, of the imminence o
war between Germany and France II

complained of the action of the thel
minister of war (Mercier) in moving
10000 troops to the frontier withou
consulting him. AS 1t was M. Labori'
task to take General MERCER In ham
and NJ. Demange, associate counsel. wa
quite unprepared for the task, the few
questions the Inter put were practi
cally of little effect and General Mer
cier escaped cheaply. Moreover. M
Demange was deeply affected by tn
attempt to assassinate his colleague
and was quite unable to do himsel
justice.
After MN. Cavaignac and Hanotau1

murderer say when crossing the
marshy fields before he reached the
railroad: "If / can't get away, will

Madam Labori Notified.
Madame Labori, wife of the wounded
lawyer, was promptly notified of the
crime, and rushed to her husbands
side. She found him with his head on
the sidewalk and his body in the road
way. She threw herself by his side
and took his head in her lap and
famed him with colored paper fan
which she had evidently snatched up
as she left the house. NJ. Labori was
perfectly still. Not groan came from
his lips as his head rested in the lap
of his wife. who, by the way, Is an

Physicians Issue n Bulletin.
The following bulletin has been is
sued:
"Maitre Labori was shot from be-
hind, the ball penetrating the posterior
region of the thorax, on the right side,
at the height of the fifth or sixth DOR
sal vertrabrae. The heavy flow of
blood prevents for the moment explor-
alton of the depth of the wound. The
undersigned doctors hope that the ball
is lodged In the muscles enveloping the

noilo, Aug. IA correspondent has
returned here from a trip among the
southern islands of the Philippines,
where he visited among other places
the towns of Jolo and Maidun. In the
latter town, which Is the capital Of the
sultan of Sulu, being situated on the
east coast of the island of Sulu, he had
an interview with that monarch on
July "a. He obtained from him the
following written statement:
This letter certifies that his high

rat has given this to signify that he
Is like brother to the nation of Amer
leans, and wants to know If the Amer
leans will treat him the same.
July "a. 1917 (Mohammedan calen-
dar).
The negotiations between General
Bates and the sultan are still under
way. The written agreement sent by
the former to the sultan for his sigma
ture was not accepted by him. The
sultan sent back counter PROPOSE
ton which was unsatisfactory to Cen
eral Bates. The sultanate of Sulu is
composed of many provinces, ruled by
Moro chiefs. the most powerful of
whom have expressed their satisfac-
ton at the prospect of American SOW
ereignty being exercised over the ISL
ands and of American occupation of
the garrisons. Their attitude will I'M
doubtedly influence the sultan to ac-
cept the terms offered by General
Bates The sultan desires that the
Americans occupy only the town of
Jolo in his dominion, at the same time
protecting the Sulu archipelago from
foreign invasion. General Bates has
been visiting the leading natives of
Mindanao, SLASH, Lukos and other
Inhabitants of all this part of the Phil
