welt Speaks on the Impor-
p lance of Military Prepar-
edness.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.-In
the presence of an assemblage of dis
tinguished people, including the presi-
dent Of the United States, members Of
the cabinet and of congress, justices
OF the supreme court, representatives
Of foreign powers and others eminent
in the life Of the nation, the corner
stone of the Army War college was
laid here today with military and Ma
sonic ceremonies. Addresses were de-
livered by President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary of War Root and Maj. Gen. S. M.
b. Young, president of the War col
lege. The site selected for the new
building is on the reservation of the
Washington barracks at the foot of
Four and a Half street. The plans in
clude the construction Of an entirely
new set of buildings on the arsenal
grounds. Among other structures,
there will be a hospital, barracks, Of
1cers' quarters and an administration
building. The Army War college
grounds have been selected as the site
Of the statue of Frederick the Great
which Emperor William has proposed
to present to the people of the United
States. A picturesque feature of the
CSIeAIoHIeS' To-Day was the parC1c1paIlOu
Of the military. About 1, 900 troops rep
resentfng the various branches of the
war service took part
AS the president and party entered
the grounds, the presidents flag was
run to the top Of the flag staff and a
section Of the Fourth battery, light ar
tillery, fired the presidents salute. The
troops paid the president the honors
prescribed by the regulations.
Formal Exercises.
The invocation was pronounced by
the Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop
of Washington, the assembIage stand

was introduced by Gen. G.. L. Gillespie,
chief of engineers, q. S. A. The pres
ident was given cordial ovation. In
his address he said:
GAS a people, whether we will or not,
we have reached the stage when we
must play a great part in the world
1t Is not open to us to decide whether
or not we shall play 1t. All We have
to decide is whether we shall play it
we'll or i'll. The part is before us. We
have to play it. All that it rests for
us to do is to say that we will play 1t
we'll (Applause.) This nation has by
the mere trend of events been forced
into a position of world power. 1t
cannot bear these responsibilities
Alright unless its voice is potent for
peace and justice, and its voice can be
potent for peace and justice only on
condition Of it's being thoroughly un-
derstood that we ask peace, not in the
spirit Of the weakAng and the craven,
but with the assured self-conf1dence of
the just man armed.
"Our people are understanding as
never before the fact that the army,
like the navy, will do well in war
mainly in proportion as 1t has been
war has begun it is too late for us to
prepare for the victory. Defeat will
come inevitably and surely If the prep
aration is put off until the war begins
and victory will come If 1t has been
prepared for in time of peace and on
no other terms.
During the session Of congress that
is now closing we have seen the first
stride taken in putting the national
guard, the militia of the country, on a
footing of efficiency, the first long
stride taken on the lines marked out
by Washington himself, the first sue
cessful effort made to put into effect
Washington's plea which for ITO years
was disregarded by our people.
Devised by Gen. Sherman.
"And again, the first long stride has
been taken toward the moderniZation,
toward increasing the efficiency of the
army in accordance with modern meth
DDS as devised by Gen. Sherman over
quarter of a century ago. Methods
have been provided for securing the in
creased efficiency Of the army, and it
rests with the army itself to profit by
what has been done. The army of the
United States is a small army rela-
lively to the population of the country,
but we have right to expect that that
small army represent for its size the
very highest point of efficiency of any
army in the civilized world, and 1 have
the most absolute faith that to that
degree of efficiency it will attain, and
that 1t will attain 1t in no small part
because Of the wise and jealous use it
will make Of the opportunities afforded
by the erection of this very building"
Secretary Root followed the presi-
dent after another selection by the
band, and then Gen. Young delivered
an address. Grand Master Walker, as
sisted by the other officers Of the grand
lodge Of Masons of the District of Co
lumbia, then laid the cornerstone in
accordance with the ritual of the Ma
sonic fraternity. The ceremonies were
concluded by a benediction pronounced
by Bishop Satterlee.

of the treaty, or any officer or soldier or
sailor of the United States engaged in

treaty"
The day in the house was devoted to
debate upon the Fowler currency bill.
Mr., Fowler, the author Of the measure,
spoke for over two hours. The other
speakers were Messrs. Thayer (Mass),
Lowering (Mass); Lewis (Ga.) and
Prince (IlL). The general conviction that
the bill has no chance to become a law
and the fact that there are divergent
views on both sides of the house de-
tracted from the interest in the debate.

Acquitted In Connection With Money
Lenders Libel Suit.
PARIS, Feb. 21.-The Humberts scored
their first notable success today when the
ninth correctional chamber announced
their acquittal in the libel suit brought
against them by M. Cattaui the banker
The costs Of the prosecution were assess
ed against M. Cattaui.
The court delivered a Judgment, the
main point Of which was that the evil
dence failed to show bad faith on the
part of the Humberts in charging NJ Cat
taui with usury. The judgment specificaI-
ly acqu1ts Frederick Humbert, Nine. Hum
bert and Marie D'Aurignac, her sister,
who were the chief persons accused.
When the acquittaI was announced
Mime. Humbert exclaimed: cat last the
voice of justice is heard
The result was fully expected and al
though it marks a temporary triumph for
the Humberts,, it is not considered to af-
feet the main case, which involves the au-
thenticity of the Crawford millions. Pub
lie opinion seems to applaud the verdict,
as the plaintiff, M. Cattaui is considered
q type of the money lender.
