Color for Torpedo Boats.

Germany is engaged in experiments to
determine the best color for torpedo boats
to lessen their visibility by day. Deep
black has been in general use for the past
20 years. but now these smaller vessels
are to receive gray-brown color. OF
course, there is no single color that is best
for all geographical regions, but this has
been found the most effective for the pur-
pose in the North Sea. and generally in
northern waters. The German battleships
are painted gray-blue, as being the least
visible by day, since. with that color, they
do not stand out in marked way against
the water, the sky. the coast or the pow
der smoke. The British gave their earliest
torpedo boat destroyers a gray color, and
the French tried that color on their war
ships years ago. Both Nations, however.
gave it up. because in some waters and
under certain conditions Of light the gray
brown was more readily visible than black.
Nevertheless. Germany has now decided
on it, after exhaustive experiments.

Buying Into Lawsuits.

OF course, the first and most important
step in the acquisition of the Panama
Canal is to make sure that we are moi
buying into lawsuit with 100000 plain
tiffs. The story of the Panama Canal car
be briefly told. The De Lesseps Company
began it in 1881, borrowing money to pur.
sue its construction year after year until
over 100000 people of France held shares
in the concern, and something over $37O,
COO 600 in money had been sunk, and then
failed utterly in 1889, the crash running
the political fortunes of many distin-
guished Frenchmen and swallowing up the
small fortunes Of thousands of deserving
people who had faith in the company.
Since then the Panama Canal, what there
is of it, for it is only partially cut, has
practically been ON the bargain counter
with no buyer until the United States took
it under aIvisement.
The legal complications seem numerous
and almost inSurmountable, but Mr. Rus
sell, for the Department of Justice, is
now in Europe investigating the legal
questions surrounding the sale and pur-
chase Of the Panama Canal property and
rights for the United States. When all
the preliminaries are arranged, SO that
there will be no delay necessary in the in
vestigation, Attorney General Knox will

Hon. NJ |. Weller, of the Public Com
fort Committee, has issued the following
circular. which Will he sent to all parties
who have secured quarters for the week of
the EncampmeDt:
lowing TO the general misunderstood
ing prevailing on certain matters. this
committee deems IL advisable to make a
few general remarks in regard to quarters
registered with this committee
Hotel accommodations - The prices
quoted for this class of accommodations
are the minimum rate of the hostelry in
question. When not otherwise stated. this
rate presumes the quartering of as many
persons in each room as can comfortably
occupy the same with due observance OF
the laws of sanitary science.
Where parties desire separate rooms
the charge is generally at the capacity
rate; j. e., If the room will comfortably
accommodate six persons at 81 an indi.
yidual per night, the price of the room
will be in the ncighborhood of 81 to S.
a day. The American plan includes
meals in the price quoted. Prices quoted
on the European plan do not include
meals. Generally the hotel prices quoted
include an implied agreement to STAY nj
least three days.

Comrade Warner, Chairman of the Cit
iZens' Committee, some time ago suggest
ed to Pension Commissioner Ware that a
reception to veterans at the Pension Of
flee might please them, as they would
want to visit the big building anyhow.
In reply. Commissioner Ware says:
THE idea Of holding reception at the
Pension Bureau on some day during the
Encampment is without doubt a good fea-
ture, because there will be very large
number Of pensioners here. They will all
want to come to the Bureau, and it will
probably please them to have some hour
or part of Il day set for that purpose.
am also contemplating the printing of
some souvenir status cards, upon which
proposed pensioners can ask their status
These may be filled out and returned as
soon as possible after the Encampment

that regard SO that il can be done in such
shape as will be pleasant to ALL
''As you are in charge, l respectfully
submit to you the situation, and will be

the most convenient and pleasant for
those who will come"
For the execution of this idea of Mr.
Ware, Mr.. Warner has created special
subcommittee of the General Reception
Committee. of which Mr.. w. Hamilton

reau, will act as Chairman. Other mem.
bers are Capt. l.. w. Kelly and A. ID.

Extensive preparations for the enter
tainment OF the Sons of Veterans, who
will hold their National Encampment in

with the Grand Army OF the Republic,
are being made by Commander-in-C Chief
Campbell and other members of that or
ganization in this city. The Encampment
of the Sons of Veterans will open Oct. G,

1t promises to be the largest and most
successful ever held by this organization.
More than 500 members will take part in
the grand parade on Wednesday, acting
as an escort to the Grand Army. They
will be accompanied by the 1st Pa Regi-
mental Band, and probably one or two
other musical organizations. The Office
of the Commander-in-Ch Chief is located in
the Columbia Building, on Fifth street
northwest, where the Encnmpment Head
quarters have been opened.
The Ladies' Aid to the Sons of Veterans
will meet in National Convention at the
same time, and a special effort is being
made to render the visit of these ladies' to
Washington pleasant.

Cling for life.r~YOu were Il boy, or in your
years of early manhood. You heard the
country's call, and answered Here You
volunteer ed to give all that makes life
pleasant, and life itself if need be, that
the Nation should live and not die. Man.
fully yOu faced toll and priyatiOn, disease
and wounds, and though Death passed
you by as you often faced him. he spared
not your comrades.
You returned from the scenes of duty
well done, proud of your Nation, loving
your comrades and fellow-citizens, and al
together better man for the experience
you had had.
Forty years have seen great changes
in the Republic, as in her veterans of the
great war. You now are old. A few
years will see your name on the roll Of
the final 'muster-out.'
1.-The Nation is ever young. She is rich
and proud, but none would do her honor
should she forget the help you gave her
in her hour of need.
She does not forget. She is great, and
grateful. Her younger sons and daugh-
ters rise up to call you blessed. Her Cap
ital again invites you to enter her open
gates and partake of her glad welcome.
Come, then, my comrades. Come not
as you caune 40 years ago, to share in
hardship ard danger. but come as wor-
thy son to the home of his father. Lay
aside all care, and join with your old
brothers-iE- in great experience
meeting and glad love-feast."
