FUNSTON TO RESIGN.
Reported Tint He VIII Quit the
Army For Commercial Work.

Army officers returning from the
Philippines report that General Fred
Funston expects to tender his resigna-
ton as brigadier general in the regular
establishment and engage In private
business. He is quoted as having said
as soon as all active military opera
lions In the Islands cease he will give
up his place in the army and will rep
resent large commercial concern
which has made him handsome offer
for his services. His resignation Is ex-
pected to be forthcoming before Octo-
Der. The report that the Kansan would
resign was thoroughly discussed by
officers at the war department in Wash
ington the other day, and. while no one
seemed TO have any direct information
concerning his intentions, the state
ment that he would leave the army
was generally accepted as true, says
the st. Louis Glcbe-Democrat People
in Washington who know Funston say
that be IS not by nature adapted to the
routine Of a military part In times Of
peace and that his spirit Of daring and
enterprise viii lead him into other
fields.
Officers who have returned within the
past few days say he did not expect
the promotion that resulted from his
capture OF Aguinaldo and that when
he was shown the cablegram from the
war department announcing his APP
polntment as brigadier general he ex-
pressed establishment that his exploit
should have led the president to ac-
cord him such recognition. .At~that
time, it is said, he was making arrange
ments to get out of the army, his in
tention then being to accept PROPOSE
ton of large business concern to rep
resent 1t in the Philippines. The pro-
motion for the time being of course d.
yerted his attention from such plans.
The offer is said to have been renewed
since. and as 1t would bring him
much larger salary than that Of brig
adler 1t is understood he has decided
TO accept it.

The remarkable phosphorescent con-

WE MAY eE INDIANS SOON,
Professor Starr Tells What Keeps Us
From Being Nomads Again.

"The American people in their phys
ical characteristics are turning more
and more like Indians every day. The
only thing that prevents the people OF
the United States from becoming tribes
OF indians in facial characteristics is
the ipIermarriage between residents OF
this country and immigrants from for
eign lands"
This is the statement made by Pro
fessor Frederick Starr TO his class in
anthropology at the University of Chi
cago the other day, says the New York
World
"If the immigration laws should once
be strictly enforced, few years would
see us all Indians Once make the cry
general that America is being used as
the dumping ground of European ma
lions and so stir up public spirit as 10
exclude foreign elements, and IL would
only take few years for the Indian 10
haunt his old time pastures again"
