CUNHA'S FAME GROWS.
Mainland Papers Publish His Picture
and His Record.

NEW HAVEN, April 17.-On the
Yale Law School baseball nine is the
only 300-pound player in any Ameri-
can university. He is Albert Richard
Cunha, the most unique figure in col
lege baseball. Cunha claims to be an
American but he has been able to
make that boast only a few months
as he halls from Hawaii, where he was
born and where he played the Ameri-
can national game as subject of
Queen Lii.
Not alone on the diamond is Cunha
the center of attraction for Yale ath-
letic spectators. He is football play
er who has fought more than one
campaign on the gridiron, and next
year he is likely to play on the Yale
varsity eleven. He was ineligible
last season as he entered the Yale Law
School, and members of that depart
ment require years residence before
they are allowed to become recruits
for the varsity ranks. Cunha was CEN
ter rush on the Yale freshman eleven
which beat Princeton, 1902, and held
the Harvard freshman from scoring
till last six seconds of the famous
Yale-Harvard 1902 contest last fall.
Cunha is now catching on the Yale
Law School nine, which he leads in
batting. Strange to relate he is sec
ond in base running on the nine. He
is as lively as a cricket on his feet and
steals bases as if he weighed $50
pounds less than he does. He is Is
years old. Cunha is a member of the
Yale Glee Club. He has one of the
best voices in Yale. He is a composer
and has written several songs.

"The mig Druni. praft.u

We have repeatedly urged upon the War
authorities the absolute necessity OF dis
arming volunteers at the time of their
muster out The pictures We have had of
whole regiments bombarding the country
through which they were travelling home
ward, from car windows; looting the res
taurants and lunch stands in railway sta
tons; insulting women. and often shooting
inonensiye people in the fields as they
passed them, altogether amount to a ma
tional scandal which would be impossible
in any other civilized country.
Now that the riotous ex-volunteer has
exploited himself in the National Capital
and committed homicide in the heart of the
city. it viii probably occur to the Govern
ment that armed and drunken discharged
soldiers are menace to deceney, and even
life. and some plan may be provided by
which the evil can be avoided in future.
We acknowledge the difficulty OF control
ling men after their muster out. They
draw their pay, secure their papers. and
are free TO get drunk and buy a revolver
within the next hour By far too large a
percentage Of them do both, and that is
something requiring a remedy. Perhaps it
would be possible TO disarm these people

NeT York, June 1.-The Hon. John
Barrett, late United States Minister to

of Commerce at its meeting today, on the
subject of Americas interest in the far
East His address was in part as follows
The most important statement that l
wish to make today is one which has not,
to my knowledge. been brought before the
direct attention of the American people,
but which vitality concerns our position
in the far East. and which involves even
greater interests and problems than the
control OF the Philippines. Poiatedly stat
ed, 1t is this: America is today the ar
bitter OF China's future. This is a tre-
mendous responsibility which has sudden
ly and Unexpectedly come upon US within
the last few months. or almost at this
hour. and directly involves the preserva-
ton, protection, and development OF our
present considerable and future vast trade
and commerce with this most populous
and wide-reaching empire OF all Asia. IL
is not merely question of $l5, 900. 900 OF
exports in 1898. but one of $3.50, 900, 900
within the next two decades If we are
alive to possibilities. China invites our
attention and exploitation, commercially
today even more that the Philippines.
While we are conducting a campaign in
this wonderful and resourceful group of
Islands We must not for moment over
look China. II the Philippines, with their
population of 100000 and area of lis. COO
