THE TRUE FRIENDS OF THIS COUNTRY
CHAOTIC STATE OF FRENCH CABINET
AMERICANS AT ITALIAN LAKES.
Especial 10 TIE New-York Tribune by French Cabe)
tcopsrigh:, 1902: BY The Tribune Association)
Paris. Sept. 2O--The note OF Secretary Hay
te the European powers party to the Treaty OF
Berlin protesting against the treatment OF the
Jews in Rumania. has been received by the
French Government in the same friendly, con-
csiiatory humanitarian spirit with which It was
framed, although French diplomacy yet sees
no way in which the protest OF the United
States can have anything more than purely
moral effect. AS might have been expected. the
American remonstrance against the persecu-
ton of an oppressed has ELECTED vigorous
criticism from the Nationalist and anti
press.
For example, Edouard Drumont's "Libre Pa
role" comes out this morning with flaming ar
ticle headed "Rumanians Yankees and Jews"
and asks, why cannot the Yankees stick to
their Monroe Doctrine and mind their own
business. For the condition of Jews in Rumania
in 20 way concerns America" The ''I.bre Pa
role't then goes TO say that it is very natural
that President Roosevelt wishes 70 prevent the
further influx OF Rumanian Jews into the
United States and is perfectly free to exclude
them bv the same drastic measures as were
put in force against Chinese immigration.
N Drurnont draws narrowing picture OF the
Ghetto quarters of ,New-York, where ne states
tive hundred thousand squald Russian and
Ruu1anian Jews have within the last few years
settled down like flights OF crows. living in
the filth creating nucleus Of pestilence.

continues VI. Drumont, have taken possession
of all the best parts Of Broadway. their palaces
line the new quarters Of the city, and these
millionaire Teutonic Jews the true inspirers

mont also declares that Cincinnati is more
Israeiite than even odessa. and concludes with

In this connection allow me to protest
against the wrongful and indiscriminate
use of the term veteran" In general,
The word signifies long experience in some
line OF action, especially in the duties of
a soldier; but the action of certain men
and regiments during the civil war gave
to the term definite and certain mean
ing. Men who had served valiantly for
nearly three years re-enlisted, thereby be-
coming veterans" and they, and they
only, were and are entitled to this hon
orable distinction. Neither this writer nor
the command to which he belonged ire
enlisted. and were not therefore entitled
to be called veterans" In each organ
ration there were men who for various
and doubtless good reasons did not re-en-
list, and they were .non-veterans. Other
and later regiments had not served long
enough to "veteranize." and consequently
made no such claim. In the Spanish
american war few regiments went farther

scarcely leaving the State camp; yet by

SCENES OF DEsoLATIoN.
Sept. 26.-Being located on the Macon
Railroad, we witnessed with interest the
transfer of citizens from Atlanta to Rough
and Ready Station, where Hood received
them.
An armistice for this purpose was ar
ranged from the 18th to the 25th. Dur
ing this period two trains passed daily,
loaded with refugees and their household
goods, and also many army wagons with
the same class of freight.
Sherman had ordered all citizens to
leave the city and go North or South. as
their sentiments dictated. Naturally. they
preferred to go South. We could not
help but pity these unfortunate creatures,
the victims of military necessity, while we
realized the impossibility Of transporting
provisions to feed their mouths as well as
our own.
A visit to Atlanta discloses a deserted
city. Men, women and children are gone
Long rows of vacant houses, many with
broken doors, affOrding glmpses Of ruin
within, or with shutters idly creaking in
the wind and seemingly moaning desc

echo his footballs on the solitary street
with the hollow mOckery of a tomb. Many
buildings exhibit gaps where they were
struck by shot or shell, and blackened
ruins mark the location of others.
On the Augusta Railroad, east of the
city, are seen the ruins of 50 cars and
several locomotives. The ears were load
ed with arms and ammunition, and when
they were set afire, by order of Gen. Hood
on the night Of evacuation. exploded with
terrible effect. A surrounding field was
fairly sOwn with fragmanets Of the cars
and their contents.
But amid this scene OF desolatiOn there
are two points of activity: the depot.
where supplies are arriving, and one block
of Main street, where many suffers are
and where many soldiers are

few have money to purchase.
