General Dyrenforth, commander-in-chief
of the Union Veterans Union, has issued
promise to the Illinois Republican Associa-
WAsHfNGToN. D. c., October II, 1900.
Comrades: Article XIII, section 10, of the
constitution ,of our order makes it oblga-
tory upon the COMMUNICATIVE chief to advise
in the matteA Of elections
Now, 1t is time that we should consider the
matter CT the election of President, and the

gain by the election of Mr. Bryan.
1 have given the matter most earnest
thought and hing ara anxious consideration.
1 believe TINT in the election of Mr. Bryan
to the presidency We would have nothing to
gain and everything to lose.
The first thought that will come to you
on reading this will be, How about
Evans?' g -
Well, whatsense would there be In jump
ing out of the frying pan into the fire?
for the reelection Of the President, of our
comr ade, William Mckinley. in whose hands
our interests are safer than in any other.

Discussing the alleged threatened disaf-
lection of the soldier vote in certain quar-
tiers. General Dyrenforth said today:
whatever dissatisfaction there may be
on the part of Union soldiers of the civil
war with the commissioner of pensions they
feel that they cannot afford to try any ex-
periments and take any chances with a
democratic administration. No matter what
may be said. can state emphatically, and
ence involving the receipt of forty to one
hundred letters day, that the great bulk
of the soldier vote will be for Mckinley"

The Crisis in the German Textile
TFnde.

The crisis in the German textile trade is
said to be spreading. Overproduction, due
to the rapid progress of European trade and
to the growth of trade in other countries. is
the disease held accountable for this affiic-
ton of textile industries. United States
Consular Agent Harris, at Eibenstock, In a
recent report to the State Department, says
that the high price of cotton and the i'm
possibility OF getting equivalent yarn prices
is playing havoc with the trade. great
number of mills throughout the whole Of
Europe are closing down on account OF
shortage in cotton.
The war in China has affected industries
generally, more particularly the iron trade
India. for instance, had been constructing
numbers of rice mills and had bought the
machines in Germany. Since the troubles
in China arose that encouraging progress
has come to an untimely end.
From Alsatia in the west to Silesia in the
east of the German empire a general cut
ting down of working hours, with thous-
ands of weavers thrown out of employment,
bears witness to the deDlorable state of
that industry throughout the country. The
velvet industry is the only one of the kind
which appears to be holding its own.

THE PROPOSED WAR COLLEGE.
Assistance Given Gen. Ludlow by Capt.
EiEnal of France.


Captain Vignal, military attache OF the
French embassy, has recently returned
from Paris where, under the instructions OF
the government he escorted General Lud-
low of the United States army to the
French war college and gave the American
officer every facility for looking into the
workings of that model institution. After
returning from his post military COM
mander of Havana General Ludlow was
signed by Secretary Root to project an
American college, similar for the mill
tary branch of the service to the naval wal
college at Newport. In execution of the
project General Ludlow visited Europe to
examine the war colleges there, which nave
long been an established feature of the
higher education of officers. Learning OF
his visit to Paris the French government
directed Captain Vignal to postpone his de-
parture for Washington and assist General
Ludlow in making his inquiries. Captain
Vignal was formerly member of the stan
of the war college, SO that the Inspection
was made under most favorable circum
stances. The college is under the direction
of Major General Langlois, the noted
tillery officer, who had great influence in
the adoption of the new rapid-tire field
guns which impressed foreign observers at
the recent French maneuVers. 1t is neal
the tomb Of Napoleon, occupying extensive
barracks. with the palace Of the former
marshal of the imperial guards as the
present headquarters of commanding Of
nicer. Inc stables contain some 300 thor
oughbreds, which are used in the course OF
instruction. Only officers who have served
five years are eligible to the college, and
the two-years course covers strategy and
the higher branches of military science
On graduating the officer receives a brevet
or diploma, which advances him six months
and makes him eligible to the staff of the
French army.
General Ludlow expressed himself as
highly pleased with the Institution, and
many Of its excellent features are likely to
be Incorporated into the projected Amer1-
can war college.

EXPERIMENT OF INTEREST
FREIGHT CARRYING ON SUBURBAN
ELECTRIC LINES BEING TESTED.
Mutual Advantages to Farmers and
City Merchants Expected
to Accrue.

The possibilities OF some of the suburban
street railroad lines freight carriers are
now being ascertained to some extent by
the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. Mr. T. F. Alvey, who had the
management OF Glen Echo the past sum-
mer. has been placed in charge of this de-
partment. which has been newly created.
On two of he lines-that to Rockville and
the eastern section of the Columbia road-a
freight service has been established. As
the entire undertaking is experimental the
details are being worked out according to
the demands of the business. The import
ance Of the territory traversed by these
lines, especially as to the prospects of
yielding traffic of this nature, no doubt
led to their selection by the company for the
initial trial 1t is naturally the policy of
the country to make contributory to its
business the resources of the various sec
tons entered by their lines, and "a rapidly
as possibly this adjunct to the service on
other lines will be established.
Never Tried Before.
1t Is found to be large enterprise not
only because of the extent of suburban
country which the roads of this company
run through, but for the reason that MOTH
ing of the sort has ever been attempted
before. 1t is believed that for lack of rapid
and easy communication with the markets
of the city, truck farming, as well as the
dairy business, has not been developed to
the extent that would otherwise have been
the case. This experiment will demonstrate
whether, under encouragement of this char
acter, such industries will spring up or be
enlarged.
Mutual Good May Result.
At this season Of the year, however the
supplies of country produce coming into the
CITY, are not as large as they were during
the summer. but thus far the service already
established by the company on the two
lines mentioned has demonstrated the fact
that this city is base of supplies for the
sections of the outlying territory referred
TO- Ice and food supplies of all sorts 60 out
oally from the markets and stores in this
city to the towns and country in the out
Tying sections, and, although the freight de-
partment of the Washington Traction Com
pany has only recently been organized,
quite business has been developed. The
Marlboro region, as well as the Rockville
region, show possibilities that may result
IN addlng to their truck farming capacity,
and In this way furnishing occupation and
Offering inducements to settlers
