Revue de Cercle Mllitaire protests
against the generally accepted belief
that the stature of the French soldier
is less than that of the men in any
other European army. AS a matter Of
fact. the French writer continues, both
Austria and Russia admit recruits of
fewer inches into the ranks of their
armies. For while in France the lowest
standard for any branch is fixed at 1.54
meters Gas near as possible five feet and
half an inch), in the Austrian army
men of 153 meters are enrolled in the
Landwehr while in the Russian active
army recruits are taken whose height
does not exceed 1888 meters.

1t is the wish OF the foreign pow
ers that China should have a good
government, but il the government
is not a stable one there will be
much trouble between the powers
and China for commercial interests
are under the control of the EN-
press and they may take advantage
of the fact.
The Government has put the
barriers down between China aud
the powers. The Chinese Govern
ment has not the power to protect
citizens and hence modern revolu-
tions. With these revolutions the
open door would not be safe for for
eigners.
Almost every foreign power has
concession in China and yet owing
to the weakness OF the Government
they are afraid to take advantage OF
them, although everyone knows that
China is a very wealthy country in
her possibilities OF development.
After paying a compliment to Ha
wall he proceeded to speak against
any attempted partition Of China az

should be assisted by the powers to

narrated the fact that six OF the

Many exaggerated stories have been
published relative to the relations of
the Queen of Sweden to the Salvation
Army. One of these is to the effect
that her majesty wears the Salvation
ist bonnet and plays the tambourine.
Her connection with the army is ex-
planned by Booth Tucker in this way:
THE queen is the friend of the army.
She has contributed literally to our
funds. She is interested in the Warm
Shelter, which is a club room for the
poor in Stockholm. Her son, Prince

To Become a Bopfi.f.

Henry c. Smith the successful con-
gressional candidate in the Second
Michigan district, may be credited
with having set a new political fash
ion. Whether it will become a favor
lite with candidates remains to be seen
Mr.. Smiths district is somewhat
close one. This little southern Michi-
gan hamlet has been noted for its
piety as well as its politics. Its re-
ligion apparently is Baptist In one
OF his meetings there Congressman
Smith promised his audience that If
Woodstock went for him he would
join the church by immersion. 1t is
probable he never dreamed that he
would be called upon to redeem his
promise. as Woodstock was supposed
to be hopelessly against his party.
When the votes were counted Smith
was found to have 81 plurality Wood
stock has unanimously and enthusias-
tically extended the right hand of fel-
lowship to Brother Smith. A delega-
tion OF the villagers has waited upon
him and notified him they expect him
to keep his promise. and he has in
formed them he will do so with the
single condition that the interesting
event shall not take place until warm
er weather arrives. In anticipation
OF his immersion the ladies of the vii
lage are making him handsome bap-
tismal robe. and undoubtedly great
numbers OF the population Of his dis
trict will be in attendance to consrat-
ulate him when he enters the fold.
