Conscription In
European Lands.
What 1t Really Means.


Doubtless few people understand
the real meaning Of conScription. 1t
means much more than compulsory
military service. 1t means that a
man, like the old "villein" Of feuda
lism, is soldier by birth and bound
to the soil says the Boston GlobeI
For instance, in Belgium, Spain,
Holland and practically in Germany,
every able-bodied youth is required
to present himself for military servi-
&c on reaching the age Of 20. OF
all who present themselves only
about one third are drawn for active
service The rest, who have drawn
the lucky numbers, are Permitted to
return home. But they must be
registered at the nearest military
station, SO that il called at any time
in an emergency they may be found
ready for service.
Thus every male person in these
countries is soldier either on duty
or on parole. Until he has cOnfor-
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-04-03

med to the military requirements Of
the law he is bound to the soil,
and any attempt to emigrate to ano-
ther country without permission OF
the military authorities is regarded
as desertion. In France, unless, q
man is exempted through bodily
unfitness, and is found to have eva
ded his duties to the state, he becomes
an ipso facto deserter and outlaw
and many be subjected to the most
drastic punishment.
1t would be interesting to know
how many Germsn-bOrn citizens the
re are in the United States at pre-
sent who dare not return, even as
visitors, to the land of their birth to
take a last look at their aged parents
and who are in every sense exiles
from fatherland for no other offense
than because they left home neglect
ing, perhaps thOughtlessly, to comply
with the military requirements.

Studies In Realism.
An Enthusiastic Student Gets
Into Trouble.

Kleptomania is mysterious dis
ease which has caused trouble and
scandal in many places but we have
never heard of any one stealing as
did a lady of Berlin, the authoress Of
several novels and romances, who has
got herself into trouble by the inten-
sity and thoroughness of her s'realistv
studies. She was seized by police
detective in the Wertheim Bazaar,
and carried before the Schaffenger-
icht on the charge Of stealing va-
luable boa. The charge was proved,
and the Magistrate asked her if she
had any defence to offer. She gray
ely informed the court that she was
engaged upon new romance in
which the chief character was . FEM
ale shop. thief. In order to possess
her own mind with the real s.subjeo-
tiyityn of the unhappy heroine, SO ~
to describe the woman's mental ex-
periences with exact fidelity TO ma
ture, she resolved to undergo the
humiliation Of stealing and the ter
rors Of an attempt to escape detec-
ton after the theft. She, Of course,
intended to restore the stolen article
to the bazaar as soon as the boa bad
served its purpose as an instrument
for the perfection Of literary art. The
testimony Of the lady's friends to her
good character and sincerity induced
the court to inflict very gentle Pc
nalty. The martyr IF realism got
off with few hours detention and =
small fine.

The Open Door.

The agreement under which all
nations are to have free hand in
China is among the most important
of the latest achievements in diplo,
macy. Some time ago the fate of
China seemed to be more than doubt.
full there was every promise that the
land of ConfucIus would be disrup-
ted and partitiOned among the ma
tions as was the destiny Of Poland in
the early part of the century.
Now all of the great commercial
nations, including Japan, have gi-
ven assent to the proposition sub
mitted by Secretary hay that Oc-
cupalion Of Chinese territory BY for
eign powers shall not modify nor inn
pair the obligations of the treaties
between the United States and
China.
Assent to this declaration by the
powers assures freedom of trade With
all sections of the empire open to
the commerce of lhs Udited States.
There was much danger at one time
that the seizure or lease of Chinese
territory, including several Of the
most important seaports, would null
lify our commercial treaties with
China, through the withdrawal Of
commercial privileges and exclusive
enjoyment Of those privileges by the
powers gaining foothold on the
Chinese coast. Owing to our new
and important interests in Asia, Sc
cretary Hay took the initiatiy in
this matter. 1t is needless to say
that he had the support Of Great
! Britain from the beginning. That

Of the prunes is hrst-class, which will

Case Dismissed.

In Justice O'Donnald's court Monday
the case of the state against Dock LAHORE
was disposed of in short order.
LAHORE had been arrested on complaint
of Fred Miller, who charged him with
assault with dangerous weapon
The men are neighboring farmers near
Turner. Miller's story is that he killed
a dog belonging toLaiore, which he found
worrying his sheep, and next day two Of
his horses strayed over to Lafore's place
and when he went after them LAHORE ran
him off with gun. Deputy Prosecut-
ing Attorney, Charles L. McNary, after
consultation with the prosecuting wit
ness, moved that the case be dismissed,
which was done.
LAHORE says that he was trying to ex-
tract an empty shell from the gun, for
his boy, when Miller came to the place,
and happened to have the artillery in
his hand when he ordered Miller off the
place.

years il was supposed TO be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-

stantly failing TO cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
