legged false representations being
made, he charges, to influence the

Washington. The attention Of the
military and naval experts here who
have been closely following the devel-
opments in the war has been attracted
to the fact that on July 90 the prohi-
bitlon imposed by The Hague confer
ence upon the discharge Of aerial tor
pedoes from balloons or flying ma
chimes will expire by limitation. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
the powers represented at The Hague
conference through the military dele
gates managed to reach an agreement
upon rules governing war, and this
particular section was bitterly fought
over, although it is one Of the few
which the United States government
accepted without reservation. So to
make easier the reaching Of an agree
ment as to the use of aerial warships,
1t was determined that the rule should
be tried for period of five years, and
that period Of time expires in July.
Consequently new field is now open
to the inventor of flying machines and
dirigible balloons which may now en-
ter the field Of warfare without vio-
lation Of the rules Of war.
The adoption Of new color of
socks for the United States army last
week makes the American soldiers a
symphony in mustard brown. Since
the Spanish war the entire uniform of
the enlisted man Of the army has un-
dergone complete change in color.
The blue uniform and the bras but
tons were the first to go, being sue
ceeded by the khaki suit and bronze
trimmings. The blue helmet gave
way to diney brown felt hat and
the regulation black shoes were dis
placed by footwear of russell leather.
The only bit of apparel not to be
changed, save the underclothes, were
the socks. During the past three or
four months the Quartermaster Gen
aral has been conducting experiments
with socks woven in colors to conform
to the general brownish hue Of the
uniform. The result is entirely salts
factory, and now the red and white
socks has been abandoned, making the
outfit from hat to shoe of uniform
color. Men equipped with the modern
khaki clothing are invisible at dis
tances where mon wearing the regula-
ton blue uniforms would be clearly
diseernible.

The State Department is greatly
disappointed at the revival of the rev.
dictionary disturbances in San Do
mingo, for it had reason to believe
from Minister Powell's last advices
that the Morales government had sue
ceeded in establishing a firm hold and
that the revolution had burnt out.
However, it is said there will be no
change in the policy which our gov
eminent has pursued in treating with
San Domingo; there will be no inter
vention, but only careful watch over
American interests and the stationing
in Dominican waters of a sufficient
number of American naval vessels to
accomplish this purpose.

United States Minister Barrett at
Buenos Ayres has made a report to
the State Department on cotton rails
ing in Argentina. Mr.. Barrett says
he is fully convinced that there is a
section of Argentina and Paraguay as
large as the combined area Of Louisi-
ana, Alabama, Georgia and South
Carolina equally suited in climate and
soil for raising the best quality of cot
ton. He says that the cotton cultiva-
ton has never been attempted on a
large scale in this part of South
America, but there are at present in
Argentina several who have begun
numerous experiments in cotton
growing.

Republicans who may be tempted to
vote for democrats this fall and ex-
cuse themselves on the ground OF
similarity of platforms should bear in
mind that it was their party which
entered the field first and compelled
the democrats to steal their platform
from it. Nothing that may be said
in praise of the democratic candidates
but what is applicable with increased
emphasis to the republicans running
against them. The latter stand upon
a platform drawn in compliance with
popular wishes and demands. To meet
these the democrats were compelled
to steal planks from the republican
structure with which to real one OF
their own. Never was more complete
endorsement given any party by one
in opposition to it than is given by
the democratic to the republican par
ty in. this campaign. Why, then,
should republicans desire to vote for
men not on their ticket.

THE CHARGE is DENIED.

While admitting that Billings has
demonstrated it's ability and willing
ness to care for a state convention
and that it's hospitality is only equal
ed by the courtesy with which it treats
it guests, the estimable editor Of the
esteemed Yellowstone Journal cannot
refrain from tossing a few bouquets
at the feet of his mistress, and in
the same breath in which he lauds
his larger neighbor to the west he
breathes loyalty to Milesville. The
putting of the strenuous switch en-
CINE in the heart of Billings, the lag
gard position the Migic City occupies
in the baseball procession Of eastern

| alkaline salts from the soil surround
ing it caused him to have visions while
here and sad thoughts when once
more back at home listening to the
drowsy swish OF the sinuous Tongue
and the petulant CALCULATIONS OF Bull
lard's gasoline engine.
To the presence of the noisy 'shunt-
ing" locomotive and to a somewhat
ragged record in the baseball world
Billings pleads guilty, but to the
charge of an undue amount of alkali
manifested in any manner that
brought it to the observation and taste
of the visitor it enters an emphatic
protest. 1t is possible that chemical
analysis may establish the presence
of the salt in the soil contiguous, but
neither the editor of the Yellowstone
Journal nor any OF the other stran-
gers who were within the gates last
week busted himself with laboratory
tests. Their researches into chemis-
try we're chiefly confined to an accept.
