Fewer Court Martials.

Discipline in the army Of the United
States has not entirely gone to pieces
In spite Of the ruthless closing Of regi-
mental groggeries known as the cam
teen system. The annual report OF
General George b. Davis, judge advo-
cate general TO the secretary Of war
shows the total number of trials by
general courr-martial during the year
to have been 4,249, which is 1925
fewer than In the preceding year.
THE marked elimination in the num-
ber OF trials by general court-martial
which amounts to nearly 20 percent of
the number of cases tried in the year
ended June 30, 1908" says the judge
advocate. at is very gratifying, inii-
eating that the conditions Of the mill
tary service are now such as to re-
quire less frequent resort to court
martial procedure Ia MAINTAIN disci-
pline In the military establishment"
II Is noticeable that only two persons
were tried by military commission
seventy fewer han in the preceding
year. Ignoring this official report en-
tirely. some imbecile will arise shortly
and observe that the canteen is an abb
solute necessity, that 1t must be restor-
ed or our army is doomed.

British Delegates Affirm That as
Their Expectation.

New York. Oct. 29.--Recent reports
that efforts are being made to amalga-
mate the unions In America and Eng
land of all lockers and longshoremen
are confirmed By William Abraham
and James Wignall, delegates from the
British trades union congress to the
convention OF the American federation
Of labor. TO be held in San Francisco.
Il came here TO strengthen the In
ternational relations between the labor
organizations" said Abraham. THE
British trades union congress has de-
clded to do all In its power to aid or
ganIzed labor In America whenever
possible and hopes that labor organi-
cations OF America will reciprocate
whenever they can.
my objection is to hasten the day
when labor shall be organized on a
grand international basis"
"The feeling among the British
dockers is for amalgamation with the
American longshoremen and trans
port men," said Delegate Wingall,
"and am here to find out II there is
similar feeling here

following no law but the will Of their
cwl chiefs, recklcssly brave, flerceIy
combatIve, careless OF death, as pagana
usually are, masterfuI, and adventur-
rous. And II is from the descendants
Of those old sampan families that the
Japanese have filled their navy, and
made II second to none In the world
in point Of excellence.
No boy could get admitted to the
Japanese navy unless he had the ira
ditions Of the sea In long line be-
mind him, for the japanese believe that
II takes five generations to make a
sailor, and the Jap Is not far wrong.
The brine must be in the blood. Every
man and lad In the Japanese navy was
not only trained TO his business, he
WAS bred to 1t and born for II. The
Japanese sailors In the navy not only
want 10 live on their ships, but 1t is
every mans earnest hope that, when
his hour comes, he may die there: not
In his hammock, but In the mad, wild
riot OF changing blows, with the smell
OF battle smoke mingling with the salt
smell OF the sea. A japanese sailor
will never surrender while there Is
life In him, because he has always
been taught to look forward to a
death on his ship. under his own flag,
as the best fate can give him. He
asks for nothing better.-London

tention by large audience of men. j. w.
