The rumors of a shortage in the pumpkin

partially, there may be a material shortage

There is a pathetic aspect to General
Buffers professional downfall. Up to the
tire that he went to South Africa his mill
tary record and services were without a
blemish, and even there he did not make
any mistake that might not have been
overlooked. London cabegram says:
Probably no man possessing the tradi-
tional qualities of the British to a greater
degree than General Butler ever wore the
Kings uniform, but a greater mistake than
his no soldier could make" This fatal
mistake was not so much anything that he
did as his public confession that he advised
the surrender of Ladysmith. No public
man ever put as fatal a confession in as
few words, and it was all the worse be-
cause General Butler had been advised by
the British War Office not TO accept invi-
tations TO make public speeches. If he had
kept still all the orators in Great Britain
could not have hurt him as much by their
combined efforts as he did himself in one
speech. Yet the real glory of a long mill
tary career is his.

The value Of GOODNESS in cases Of excite
ment and panic has been often illustrated,
and notably in two recent instances. When
whole audience was stampeded in a
Louisville theater recently by an alarm of
fire, variety actor helped TO allay the
excitement by executing a clog dance
while people were screaming. and in the
more recent fire at Philadelphia a cool
headed foreman saved many lives by mar
shaling the people on his floor into line

The report of Admiral Melville, chief en-
gineer OF the navy, will attract attention
because he frankly declares that the So
called personnel act has been conspicuous
failure, measured by its results in main
tanning the efficiency of the navy along en-
gineering lines. He gives it as his unquali-
fed opinion that in the engineering depart
ment the past two years there has been
retrogression rather than an advance" and
he sees no promise of benefit TO result from
the organization of a separate engineer
corps. He says the number of trained and
expert engineers in the navy is being stead
lily reduced. This he attributes in small
degree TO the fact that, while under the
present system the junior half of the old
engineer corps has been assigned to line
duty, very few line officers have been sent
to the engine room for instruction. The
result is that many important duties of the
engineer department have devolved upon
warrant officers of limited education and
doubtful fitness. He recommends that the
policy of detailing junior officers of the line
exclusively to engineering duties be great
ly extended. Admiral Melville holds that
the efficiency of the navy depends as much
upon high intelligence in the engine rooms
as in the management of any other part of
the warship. 1t was efficiency in the en-
CINE room which made it possible for the
Oregon, with sixteen knots speed, to over
take the Colon, with twenty knots.
