Diminutive War Heroes

M Military experts generally OF late
Aave been recognizing as important
&he tact that some of the greatest mill
'Nary achievements in history have
been made by men of small stature,
Notable among these dimnutve heroes
1eeing Alexander and Napoleon. while
ln our own history Generals Sheridan,
wheeler and Funston have been less
xemarkable for their inches than for
their pluck. 1t Is doubtful whether
bome OF the most famous men in army
history could have got into the SER
syice If the height now demanded of
enlisted men had been test for them
10 pass. The world-conquering sol
Tiers who followed Napoleon to Jena,
.Nagram and Moscow were little fa!-
,Dws; not one in ten of whom would
ave had a chance of enlistment in
On American or British regiment; but
hey knew their business. and the
more stalwart warriors of Austria and
Prussia could not stand before them.
No restrictions being placed on officers
as to height, the little men have had
10 look for their vindication to the
Den who wear swords. The time may
0me when the rifle carriers also will
abe to prove the truth of the old
lying that you cant tell by the
lcngth of his legs how far frog can

OF recruits have already been favor

The dinner was given in the hand
some ballroom of the Waldorf Astorin
hotel, but that immense apartment was
hot large enough TO accommodate the
numerous guests, and the ASt0r gallery
was also used. The two rooms were
splendidly decorated.
Prince Henry. attended by the mem
hers of his suite drove to the hotel
under escort of cavalry and mounted
police and the demonstration in the
streets leading to the hotel was the
most cordial of any that has so far
marked his appearance in public.
The prince reached the hotel at $50
o'clock and was received by Mr.. Riddcr.
While they paused for II brief talk the
members of the suite and the delegates
Of President Roosevelt filled up the ban
quet hall. The band played the Amer
lean national anthem as the first Of tlle
uniformed staff entered and the crowd
of guests arose. There was IL great
cheer as the prince appeared and another
when he took his place at the side OF
MIR. Ridder at the special table.
AS the prince took his seat the electric
light was flashed into the pruSSian
eagle above him on the southern wall,
and the power was also increased in
every one of the $500 incandeSccnt
lights that burned in the room. 1t gave
special brlliancy to an already attrnc-

Mr.. Ridder called on Bishop Potte",
who offered brief grace. A small
army of walters quickly filled the
aisles between tables and the banquet
began. Excellent lymollldrd statu-
cites of Prince Henry We're distributed
as souvenirs.
Mr.. Ridder followed Mr.. Reid and
then Prince Henry was introduced.
AS he stood up the crowd burst into Il
German song. After that they sang
"For He's Jolly Good Fellow" The
prince said:
