NEW BOOK ON SEA FIGHT
AND SANTIAGO VICTORY
The SChIey-Samps0n Controversy Discussed By a
Correspondent Who Was on the Brooklyn.
Author Asserts That COmmandernchief Ignored the Signals
After the Battle

CHICAGO, Jan. PA book entitled
"schley and Santiago" is on the
press ia this city and will be bound
within ten days. The author is George
T. Graham, a war correspondent, who
was Oh the Brooklyn during the hght
with the Spanish fleet, and thus is in
a position to tell the story of Santiago
without fear or favor"
The hook is said to have the unqual-
flied Endorsement of Rear Admiral
schlcy. who read and corrected the
proof sheets. When President RoOse-
Welt was governor Of New York he
was present when Mr.. Graham gave
an account Of the battle to state Of
fcials and members of the legislature.
Roosevelt said then
u am sure you feel as pleased at
having listened to Mr.. Graham as 1
do. for l have listened to the best ac-
count 7 have ever heard or read Of
the naval fighting during this war"
This book is the first and only COM
pleta story Of the work of the Tying
squadron, commanded by Schley. NJ.
Graham was assisted by his camera,
which enabled him to add many inter-
estlng situations. and the description
he gives of the movements of the fleet
and the battle is evidently sincere. 1t
IS free of virulent and personal at
t7cks. the aim is to give a truthful
statement OK every occurrence.
Looks For the New York.
In connection with the arrival of the
New York, Mr.. Graham says:

took my glasses, ard looked searching

So. There is the Texas, and there is
the Vixen. but I don't see the New

up in an instant he had evidently
found her for he remarked:
Yes. there she is. 1 can tell her

This was at las o'clock, and the
Colon had gone ashore at lis. while
Captain Cook had received the sur
render at ':43 At 2 o'clock, just as
the New York got where we considered
her i'm signal distance, Commodore
Schley ordered the signal raised:
a glorious victory has been
achieved. Details later
This signal replaced the one which
we had been flying for nearly three
quarters of an hour:
The enemy has surrendered and
which the New York had not answered.

bridge watched the New York for even

London papers express varying Opin-

correspondent says n successor to
Count Won BUelOW is already knocking
at the door and will gladly enter and
try TO better interpret the emperor's
wishes.
On the other hand, the Berlin CORE
spOndent of the Daily Chronicle be
Ieves that the tardy official denial OF
the statement that Emperor William
was going to England SHOWS that the
latter has changed his mind because
Of the Won Buelow-Chamberlai dis

memorial service for the late Queen

women and MUSIC.

Palmistry, graphology, phrenology,
even pedology and kindred sciences
which reveal or are said to reveal char
acter, are popular enough, particularly
among English speaking people. An
Englishman now seeks to show that a
woman's character may be judged by
her fondness for the compositions of
the great musicians. For instance, a
passionate admiration for Beethoven's
music proves faithful, reliable, capa-
BILE character. Lovers of Mendelssohn
are tender, with certain disposition
toward melancholy, delight in what
Byron calls ..the ecstasy of Woe" Prac-
teal, methodical, excellent housewives
may be found among the followers of
Sebastian Bach. According to this OBJ
server Chopin enthusiasts are senti-
mental, dreamy, romantic, while those
who show a fondness for old ballads
and simple music possess shy and re-
firing souls. Finally, he regards wo-
men who are content with the every
day music of musical comedy as dolls
without head or heart.

walking Tour. For Autumn.

Walking is an art, almost one of the
lost arts. 1t is astonishing how few
know how to walk-know how to ac-
quire the measured stride, the springy
step, the easy poise of the body and
the swing of the arms which make
walking at once one of the most health
full and enjoyable forms of physical ex-
ercise. For the real pleasure of walk
ing one must turn to the country.
Pavements are but dead, unyielding
matter at best. In the turf of the coun-
try there is a spTng in response to the
pressure of the foot which is a delight
and an inspiration in itself. The purity
of the air sets the blood to racing glo-
riously. Good walkers find twenty
miles day a comfortable average, al
lowing of plenty of time for rest and
"loafing" Two weeks thus spent will
afford memories to last for all time and
with them a measure of health and
strength, a quickening of vital forces,
a nervous energy which will find ex-
preston in increased power for accom-
plishment in the worlds work.-Coun-

LAFAYETTE IN AMERICA.
Incidents of the Noble Frenchman's

Incidents of the Noble Frenchman's
Visit In 1924.
Lafayette's arrival in America was
the signal for one prolonged, brilliant
Fourth of July celebration. The pupils
of the institutions throughout the coun-
try were prominent participants in the
festivities in his honor.
A little Maryland girl who, after
much drilling, had mastered a poem
with which to greet him, beginning
Welcome. welcome, Lafayette,
Thee we never can forget,
was not permitted to get beyond the
second line of her recitation, the baby
lips being sealed at this point by an
ELUSIVE kiss from the enthusiastic
Frenchman.
OF the complaisance which charac-
terized him during his progress through
the states an old lady, now n resident
of Baltimore, who joined in singing
odes to him in Norfolk, Va, gives the
following illustration:
Locks of hair instead of autographs
were then fashionable as souvenirs,
and as we passed in review before him

please give me q piece of your hairP
In an instant the red wig was in his
hand, but the terrified suppliant, to
whom he would have presented it.
thankful to escape with her own scalp,
had disappeared in the crowd"
The hero's personal appearance was
never, even in his palmiest days, his
strongest point, and with the added
pounds which had come with years, the
limp from the wound received during
the battle of the Brandywine and,
above all, the disfguring red wig, he
was scarcely a model of manly beauty.
