Napoleon established the school in its present
quarters at Saint-Cyr, near Versailles, in the

During the occupation of Paris nv the allied
armies in 1911, the military academy of Saint
Cyr was abolished and was not re-established
until 1917. when it was placed under the imme-
date direction of Marshal Gouvion de St
Cyr. Louis Napoleon, when he became Pres-
dent of the republic reorganzed the school,
and opened it to admission by competitive ex-
animation. The Prince President gave the bat
talon of Saint-Cyr silk standard surrnounted
by an eagle and bearing the inscription: Ills

gressive motto transformed in 1872 to the
more modest one Of Ills s'instrufsent pour

1880 to the present device: "R6pubIique Fran

France"
The average number of cadets at Saint-Cyr IS
esht hundred. The course of instruction is
two years. The infantry battalion consists of
eight companies. each commanded by a. captain
of infantry, who is assisted by a lieutenant. and
also by an 'adjudant officer selected from
the cadets.

Paris, october 70.
General Andre, the Minister of War, who was
Belected by the late Premier Waldeck-Rousseau
for the task of roofing out from the French
army all vestiges of privilege and caste has for
the last three years devoted himself to his mis-
sion with Cromwellian zeal. The republican refor-

preaching completion. The bureaucratic favor

upon having at last created army that, lock-

General Andre, however is not satisfied with
the military academy of Saint-C the French

schemes of radical reform for this school that

and cavalry officers who do not obtain their
commissions by promotion from the ranks An
official report upon Saint-Cyr drawn up by Cen
eral Bazaine-H ayter-who, by the way is no
relation of the late marshal who bore that lugu-
brious complains that the military acad-
envy is too mechanical and too pedantic; that
the cadets do not feel the responsibility of their
future calling, and that they resemble mere
schoolboys. The government has not yet de-
cided upon the new methods to be introduced at
Saint-Cyr, but it is thought likely that the re-
forms, similar to those introduced into other
branches Of the army by General Andre, will be
exceedingly radical

WARRINGTON, July IA cablegram re-

announces that tho Philippine Govern
ment has no occasion for purchasing moro

The silver purchased last year produced
substantially 2y00o.00o more pesos than
all the Mexicans exported since January 1.

The Philippine Government will probably
buy, as bullion, after October any Spanish
Filipino or Mexicans offered. This infor-
nation is important in view Of he continued
demand for silver In the Orient during the
progress Of the war, and the probability
that India and France will be large pur-
chasers Of silver this fall
This state Of affairs would probably
create an appreciable advance In price,
about which, In view OF the above fact,
the Philippine Government need not be
exercised
When the heavy purchases OF bullion for
the special Philippines coinage were made
several months ago. silver reached higher

Oyama Takes the Field.

The departure of Marshal OYAMA with
his Chief Of Staff, Gen. KoDAMA, from
Toxic. to assume supreme command OF
the Japanese armies in the field, gives
new interest to the war operations.
There will be in the next stage of the
campaign a greater unity of direction
than has hitherto existed. That in it
self will be tremendous advantage now
that the armies are in close touch.
1t is also a matter Of political conse-
quence, for undoubtedly Marshal OYAMA
has been fully instructed as to the mind
of the Emperor and his advisers on the
ultimate aims of the conflict. An armis-
tice might become expedient at any mo-
ment should the European Powers de-
sire to intervene in the interest of peace.
or if through the action of some other
power the naturalization Of China were
involved.
The advantage Of having man on
the spot in supreme command, and at the
same time invested with the diplomatic
power necessary for preliminary pur-
poses, would be at once apparent.
In tho meantime, the appointment is
an indication that the operations in the
field will be carried on with increased
vigor. With this object two more divi-
sions are about to leave Japan and
fresh divisions are to be organized,

which he thought II should be done. His
idea was that of the soldier and his
plans clashed with those Of Canada's
! political leaders. Gen. HUTTON, assigned
to similar duty, is having similar trou-
BILE In Australia.
1t casts no reflection whatever upon
Lord DUNDoNALD TO say that he was In
the wrong. Canada 10 a self-governing
country and not a dependency, q pro-
tectorate nor even a crown colony.
With her elected officials there rests the
power and the right to establish or to
limit the military defenoes Of the Domin-
ion. II they prefer political institution
to a strictly military organization, they
are answerable to the Canadian people.
Although called in as an expert, Lord
DUNDoNALD was still subordinate to the
authorities at Ottawa. Whether they
were right or wrong, he could not
override the plans and the opinions Of
the administration. His proper recourse
in the event OF dissatisfaction was the
tender OF his resignation, with a full
statement Of the reasons therefor.
Although it was violation Of the
strict etiquette Of his position, Gen. Dun
DoNALD's course will cost him no part
Of his military prestige, and he will lose
none of that respect OF honest men which
downright honesty and fidelity to ideals,
even though mistaken, are bound to
command. Canada will lose the services
OF faithful and efficient officer, but she
will be in the end a gamer by the ven-'
tilation Of the question of her home mill
tia. How far the issue may become in
volved in England's broad question of

that Mr., Roof was one Of them, some six
