TRAGEDY is FORGOTTEN
The Coronation Services Are Carried
Out Without the Slightest Untoward
Incident That Might Remind People
of Murder of Alexander and Drasa.

Belgrade, servta. Sept. 21.-The cor
onation of King Peter took place this
morning. No untoward incident occur
red and no attempt to carry out the
numerous threats against the new
kings life was made.
Recent Tragedy Is Forgotten.
In solemn ritual of the Greek church
which lasted three hours, and in the
elaborate state procession which pre-
ceded and followed the coronation Of
Peter Karageorgevitch, the tragedy OF
Servia's previous ruler found no echo
and King Alexander's murder was al
least outwardly forgotten.
Celebration Begins at Dawn.
Here and in every garrison town ot
Servia the dawn of the day was mark
ed by a salute of twenty-one guns ant
before the sun was well up King Petel
on horseback rode out from the palace
Dense Crowd Views Ceremonies.
A brilliant procession then started
for the cathedral through troop linet
Streets Behind the soldiers were
packed dense crowds, who in spite O
the rainy weather, stood awaiting t.
see the king.

THE ARMY IS OVERMARRIED
SAYS GENERAL II. C. CORBIN

Washington, Sept. 21.-That no army
officer be permitted TO marry until he
has first secured the permission of the
secretary of war and satisfied that off,
cial that his income is sufficient to sup
port himself and family and that he is
entirely free from debt, is the recon-
mendation of Major General Henry c.
Corbin, adjutant general commanding
the Atlantic division, and department
of the east, which has just been issued
at the war department Regarding mar
riage in the army, General Corbin
says:
~ desire to reiterate in effect what
l have formerly said on this subject,
which statement, however, has been
misread, misquoted and misunder.
stood:
Marriages of army officers, who
have made no proper provision for
assuming the responsibility therefor
is hurtful both to the army and to the
officers themselves. To this broad
statement there are, of course, excep
tions, as there are to all broad state.
ments. but the general fact remains
that our army is overmarried. The
pay of subaltern officer is barely
enough for his proper support and the
expenses of his equipment and uni
form, If to this is added the newt
able expenses attached to the family
it is not only probable, but almost
certain, that when an officer strikes
his balance at the end of the year he
will be behind if he has no income but
Ibis pay.

'That bachelor officer is more val
liable to the service than a married Of
f1cer does not follow, nor do I wish to
be understood as so saying, but the
married officer is less valuable if in
marrying he has not exercised that
prudence which should govern all
transactions in life."
Further on in his report General
Corbin says:
Il am firmly of the opinion that no
officer should enter the marriage rela-
ton without first getting the authority
of the war department and that as a
necessary condition thereto, that his
income, after marriage, will be suffi.
cient to support himself and his fam.
lily, and above all, if he is to live on
his pay, he should state on honor that
he is free from debt
Favors the canteen.
General Corbin favors the re-estab.
lishment of the canteen, and says:
'lf it were possible by my act to alb.
solutely stop the manufacture and use
of intoxicating drinks of any kind. |
would do SO; if it were possible by nv
act to prevent the use by any person
in the military service of Intoxicating
drinks, / would do so; but realizing
that the impossible, however desirable
must give way to what is possible and
practicable, | am firmly of the opinion
that it would be in the interest of dis
cipline to re-establish the canteen feat
ure of the post exchange, recognizing
that in this way the use of drink can
be minimized,"

owing to the receipt from foreign
sources of news that general storm
ing of the Notifications there has be-
gun. A few belated kilograms from
General Stoessel, the commander at
Port Arthur published Tuesday after
noon, recording the repulse of the jap
anese and continual attacks, strength
ems confidence in the ability of the de-
tenders to hold out despite the furious
onslaughts being made on them. The
last attack mentioned by General
Stoessel took place on the night of
September IA, and was directed
against redoubt No. 8, which protects
the water supply of the city. The re-
doubt is about two miles beyond the
line of permanent forts, and the attack
upon this shows that the Japanese
were not then within striking distance
of the main fortress. Reports from
Shanghai that some of the defences
had fallen into the hands of the Japan.
ese AS result of a general assault on
September 20, are not confirmed from
Russian sources.
Japanese at DaIny.
The kilograms brought to Chez Foe
by Prince RadZiwill have not vel
reached the war office. It is under
stood that these dispatches contain
details of the landing of strong Japan
ese achievements at Dalny, which
would tend to confirm the belief thai
it is the intention of the Japanese tc
storm the fortress AMI that the war
ships will probably take part in the at
tack. In this event Rear Admiral Wir
enius division will doubtless go ou
and engage the Japanese fleet.
