CORBIN SURRENDERS
To MARTIAL MUSIC
Could Not Withstand Bombard-
ment of Composers.

Adjutaut General CoTbin is having his
own troubles these days
Not long ago General Corbin suggested
that one Of the first matters to be taken
up by the new general stan should be
Improvement in military music. His idea
was that more music would relieve the
monotony OF camp life, especially at re
mote posts.
Composers Of high and low degree
throughout the country at once got busy
and now General CoTbin is hearing from
them. Every mail brings musical com
positions which. the letters accompany
ing them say, are just what is needed 10
fiji the long felt want and stir UP esprit
du corps, and all that sort OF thing.
Those who cannot compose send patrj-
otto lines to be set 10 music or sugges-
tons for accomplishing the desired end
Each of the senders asks for General
Corbin's personal opinion as to the merit
OF his composition.
The general prides himself on answer
/ ing all letters. He started out to have
all OF the offerings played TO him 50
that he might pass honest judgment on
them But they are now coming too fast
for that arrangement
They viii be referred to the general

NEW DOMINICAN
HOUSE OF STUDIES
Construction of Magnificent Structure Near Catho-
lie University to Begin This Month.

The new Dominican House of Studies
will be erected in Washington in the
immediate nefghborhood of the Catholic
University and will. 1t is said be the
handsomest of the cluster OF beautiful
buildings which make that section Of
the Capital City so distinctive 1t viii

The building is treated in strict Gothic
style and fits well with the traditions Of
the Dominican order. which are all Of
an acknowledged preference for the
Gothic. Moreover, # viii be a beautiful
reminder of the glorious ages OF faith,
and of the need IN this our day Of some
thing of that rugged spirit which gave
to the church those giants Of the Mid

When the building was first projected,
the Very Rev L. F. Kearney. the pro-
vinciaI, secured plans from a noted Do
minican student of architecture. These
plans we're submitted to a number Of
American architects as a basis upon
which to work.
The magnificent building is after the
drawings made by A. o. Won Herbulis, OF
Washington His work was accepted
by reason OF its beauty and perfect
conformity to the requirements Of the
Gothic school
The provincial was particularly 7nx-
ious that these features should be found

House OF Studies. now situated in st.

st. Joseph's is an old historic place,
but it is too small for the rapidly grow
ing needs Of the province, for over and
above the demands made upon It here
at home. the Philippine Islands will re-
ceiye ministratIons from the Dominicans
of this province. Besides. its situation
| is too remote from the intellectual cen
ters of our country. and these are the
! centers with which the Dominican Order
has ever since its foundation been eV-
erywhere in closest touch. Therefore
Washington was decided upon. by rea-
son of the presence there Of the Cath
Ollie University, though the Dominican
Stadium viii, in no wise. be affiliated TO
the university
| The professors hlIing the various
chairs in the house Of studies are all
Dominicaus who have. taken degrees in

1 D. J. Kennedy, regent. who is wen known
as an excellent theologian and who
while still in his twenties was called to
/ the University OF FribouTg TO fill the
chair of thomistie philosophy Among the
/ other. professors are found specialists IN
canon Law, church history and the var
+ ious departments Of scripture studies.
! The erection of this building IS large
+ ~ due TO the untiring zeal and inspiring
4 enthusiasm OF the present Provincial
Father Kearney. Having himself enjoy
ed excellent opportunities at several
European universities. he appreciates
the immense benefit which comes from
living in an intellectual center and the
stimulating effect Of an occasional cross
| ing Of swords with the strongest and
j bravest of other houses.

ANNIVERSARY TO-DAY
OF TWO GREAT EVENTS
Ieffersons Birthday and Inception of Purchase of
Louisiana Territory.

The observance today Of the 150tn an
niversary Of the birth Of the third Pres
ldent derives additional interest at this
tire from TIE fact that this is the cen
tenriaI year Of the purchase OF the
great Louisiana territory. The foremost
Transaction Of JeTerson's Administra-
ton. Not only is this day the anniver-
sary of the birth Of that statesman. but
il IS the centennial OF what may justly
be called the beginning OF the cession
% Louisiana to the United states.
Students o. history do not need TO be
informed that the acquisition Of that
territory was not contemplated by the
Jefferson Administration. The states
men thea at the head Of cur Govern
ment were trying. however, 10 get the

leans. ald through the latter 10 get

Tie French minister. TaueyranG. gave
unsatisfactory responses 20 3Ite advances
OF our minister. Robert r. Livingston.
On enc occasion while discussing the
subject with The latter, Talleyrand. in a
sort IF bantering way. asked the AEncTi-
can minister what the United states
would give for the whole territory. LIv-
ingston answered that his Instructions
contemplated nothing Of the kind; and
Tafleyrand said thar the suggestion was
made on mis- own authority. a statement
about which Livingston was doabtfaL
Two days later Narbois. the finance min
lister OF the French government. made a
direct proposition TO sell, suggesting
1o9. oo0.o00 francs as the price. He said
he was authorized by the First Consul
BonaParte-to make the offer. Marbois
reported the latter as saying 10 him:
YOU have the treasury; Let them give
19e ,009. 000, settle their claims against
Us. and take the whole country" These
claims were fer damages done to our
commerce by the French navy during
the then recent European wars.
Livingston announced the price was
too great and far beyond our means to
pay 4larbois admitted that the price
was too high. but pressed Livingston 70

TO do. Finally, Marbois himself said ii
