perform a service and then goes and
does it himself. At least that is the
programme followed by Major Sweet
He took a transport and part of the
Twentythird infantry and proceeded
to Conowai with several hundred Moro
troops The pirates were found strong
ly intrenched in three forts, at Serabe,
Tibiani and Conowai The United
States troops led the assault and burn
ed the forts, with nearly all OF the pir-
ates inside. After the forts had been
set on fire it was too late to rescue the
pirate gang, and many of them were
burned
The fighting took place within shoot
ing distance of the large village of Lo
Grugiang, where more than 5000 native
Moros were drawn up, hesitating ap-
parently as to whether they should aid
the pirates They decided that they
should not interfere with the troops, but
made but little effort to conceal their
hatred of the men who had assaulted
the pirate stronghold. The pirate forts
were surrounded by stone walls eight
feet in height and were from four to six
feet thick and surrounded by bamboo
fences that required great strength to
break through. Since that event the
pirates have been lying very low. and
the natives have an increased respect
for the soldiers of the United States

the blazing Syrian stars! At times me-
teors shot across the sky, and distant
fires across the plain suggested to me
that they had reached the earth and
continued to burn. But about midnight,
when my zaptleh ordered the muleteer
to put my horse between the loads and
his own horse, learned what the fires
really meant, for, to my inquiry as to
the reason for this move, an all suffi-
cient one in tht single word "Chirkey'
(Circassians) was given me. Circasslan
is synonymous with robber in Turkey
l noticed then that my zaptieh was car
rying his gun across the pommel of his
saddle, and some way the cheerful clang
of his scabbard against his metal stir
rups did not sound so meaningless to
me and so unnecessary as it had during
the day.
Soon we heard shouts, but if the Cir
cassians meant anything they had no
time to plan it before full of twinkling
lights, and 1t was no time to suggest
a halt, When, about o'clock, the
younger muleteer gave out and we were
compelled to stop, l sank to the ground
and the older villager put his great coat
of shepherds hair over me and | slept
the sleep Of the utterly exhausted while
the two men stood guard. A half hour
later We pushed on to what my COM
panions called Civilizations village
where messenger from me had been
caught and beaten only week before
After few hours of rest we proceed
ed, and arrived at Marash in the after
noon.

"Tnasmuch as the sophomore socie-
ties have formally voted to increase the
aggregate number of men taken into
the three societies to seventy-five in
each class, by a system of gradual or
progressive election, and to defer until
after Easter all hold-offs or pledges to
freshmen, the faculty has allowed
these societies to take in their num-
bers-elect from the class of 1909"
This ends a long contest of great bit
terness, in which the society men and
the non-society men of the college
have aligned in battle array. The nom
society men have consistently petition
ed the faculty for the abolition of the
society system as tending to vitiate the
so-called Yale democracy. The society
men have just as consistently insisted
upon their right to exist. The outcome
lis in the nature of a compromise.
President Hadley yesterday gave out
the following statement of his own
opinion in the matter
1.-THE notifications of the present
system adopted by the sophomore So
cieties meet three points most strongly
emphasized by former students of
Yale. The increase of numbers makes
them more democratic and tends to
approximate the scope of their mem
bershlp more nearly to that of junior
societies. The system of progressive
election allows mans achievements
Ito be judged by his own classmates, as
well as by his predecessors, and also
makes room in the societies for those
who distinguish themselves during
sophomore as well as freshman year.
Finally, the postponement of all
pledges tends to break the connection
between college politics and school
politics, which has at times been felt
as a serious evil.
1.-THE chief difference between this
plan and the plan of last years con-
ference committee is that it provides
for progressive increase, instead of
q progressive decrease, in the number
of society members in sophomore and
Junior year This change, in the
opinion of the majority of graduates
whom it has been possible to consult, |
Is distinct improvement"
