st. Petersburg, Nov. 1O.-This city
was in Juror of excitement all of
yesterday and late into the night over
the news of the mutiny at Kronstadt.
Every one Of the exaggerated reports
| of the affair received credence in
many quarters, and half the inhabit-
ants of the capital believed that the
mutiny was successful, that the troops
sent from here had joined in the re-
volt, that the entire garrison of st.
Petersburg would follow suit today,
and that the town of Kronstadt had
been burned to the ground, together
with the surrounding forts.
Truth Was Bad Enough.
Many of these sensational reports
We're, of course, entirely false, but SUI
ficient details have been received to
prove that about 5000 sailors and a
battalion of artillerists from one of the
forts INDUCED in mutiny which was
only put down by about 1000 Cossacks
and troops Of the Imperial Guard hasti-
ly dispatched from st. Petersburg and
from the garrisons near Peterhof, and
that machiueguns had to be employed.
Before the arrival of the troops the
sailors, many of whom We're drunk
on liquor plundered from the spirit
shops, had set fire to the market and
to several groups of houses.

Simon Wolf Wants to Know How Long

Washington, Nov. 1O-Simon Wolf,
ex-president of the B'nai Birth, has
sent the following appeal to President
Roosevelt: THE man that side-tracked
piecedents by ending the coal strike;
that conjured peace between Russia
and Japan, and who has in hundred
ways showed marvellous versatility and
courage, cal he not take the initiative
and bring about concert of action to
stem the cruelties in Russia? How
long is this CHASTITY, fiendish holocaust
to continueY'
Wolf is now heading movement to
raise funds for the relief of the strick-
Ell Jews in Russia, pending any action
that may be taken by the United States
or other nations of the world. He
points out that 25,00O Jews have been
killed and 100000 have been injured
during the recent massacres in Russia.
I'VE have got to raise millions Of dol
lars in this country and Europe" said
Wolf. ''Thc situation is acute and calls
for our best and strongest efforts to
succor the prosecuted Jews in the land
of the car"
A mass meeting called by represent
alive Hebrew citizens will be held
here this afternoon, in order to crys-
talize and centralize the relief efforts.
President Roosevelt has made it clear
that in the present circumstances this
government can take no action for the
relief Of the oppressed Hebrews of
Russia, as the constituted authorities
of that country are unable to control
the element which is attacking the
| Jews.

ROOSEVELT TOO FAMILIAR
His "You" in Message to Kaiser Had

BERLIN, oct. An embarrassing

President Roosevelt acknowledging the
German emperor's congratulations upon
the successful issue of the peace con-
ference, was received. The telegraph
operator translated the message just as
it came over the cable, but on submit
ting it to his superior he was informed
that the forwarding of the text of the
message as received would render him
Cthe operator1 guilty of the crime OF
lese majestic.
President Roosevelt addressed the
emperor with the familiar you and
your" instead of submitting to Euro
pean customs and addressing the Ger
man sovereign as your Majesty" OF
course the text was changed to suit the
emperor's susceptibilities before the
message was delivered to the palace
Chancellor Won Buelow, however, told
the emperor the story of the original
text, as received from the American
president, and it is said that the Ger
man sovereign enjoyed a hearty laugh
over the democratic manners of the
United States.

dent Roosevelt ever happens to come

would appreciate very much, l would

PARIS. oct. 7.-Recent attacks on
persons in the Bots de Boulogne have
caused the public to demand better
police protection. At present each guard
patrols over an area of thirty hec-
tares.
NJ Forester. CONSERVATION of public
promenadeS. has asked an increase of
the force. His plan is to have a guard
in light carriages, cooperating with
bicycle policemen. He also wishes to
establish an elaborate telephone sys-
TEN, which will be used as a police
call.
Twenty Paris policemen belonging to
the Brigade des Noitures have OBJ
tanned chauffeurs' certificates, as a re-
suit of an examination, both practical
and theoretical. passed recently at the
prefecture.
This is the outcome of a resolution
PASSED by the municipal council re-
Questing NJ. Lepine, project of police,
to submit to examination all police
men whose duty it is to control auto
mobile traffic. The idea is that those
who take proceedings against auto
mobilists should know something of
automobiles.

was held to found a "Comite de De-
lenSe uu BOlS de bouloSle' LOT tne
purpose of preventing the execution of
the scheme entailing the cutting down
OF several thousand trees in the Bots.
The meeting was largely attended.
1t was further decided to prepare q
monster petition and to appeal to the
press of Paris to organize local pc
titions in the suburbs. Signatures will
be received at the offices of the prin
cipal papers, and petitions will also
be circulated in all the large business
offices and workshops. In addition
meetings will be arranged in the va
rious ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the capital,
with view to inducing the authorities
to accept a counter scheme which
would safeguard both hygiene and the
beauty of Paris.

FRENCH EXPERT
ENDORSES DEWEY
DRAWS LESSON FROM RECENT
NAVAL BATTLES
In a Technical Article the Writer Says
First Essential Is Powerful
Guns and BattIeships Of
Heavy Type
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable TO the herald.
PARIS, Oct. Admiral Dewey's
contention that big guns on big ships
are a decisive factor in modern sea
fights was Endorsed indirectly but en-
phatically in a valuable technical
article on Nos Futurs Cuirasses. p"
published in the Echo de Paris re-
Gently.
This contribution to the discussion
now engrossing the attention of naval
architects and officers in Europe is the
concluding article of a series in which
the new construction projects of the
French navy have been mercilessly
criticised.
The radical notifications that are
being made in that program seem to
warrant the conclusion that the anon
ymous writer's structures were not
without justification.
In reviewing the various consider
atoms that have been examined and
analysed in previous articles. this au-
thority draws certain conclusions which
coincide with those drawn by Admiral
Dewey. Powerful long-range guns. he
says in substance. are essential, con-
sequently ships capable of carrying
them must be provided.
The Russo-Japanese war having
shown that the element of victory in
naval engagement is superior speed. the
leading navies of the world are pro-
viding their new battleships with a
speed of twenty knots. This again
necessitates vessels of increased dis
placement.
Finally the Russo-Japanese war has
proved that guns of medium caliber
are mere incumbrance on a battle
ship.
1t has shown that everything not pro-
tected by armor plate is destroyed; all
organic elements of steering, speed or
armament must be protected. The re-
suit of all this is that artillery of
medium power Is useless and must be
eliminated and replaced by artillery of
greater power
This is virtually what Admiral Dewey
said to The Herald's correspondent in
Washington, and he would probably
have signed the demand made in the
Echo de Paris for battleships with a
of $4,000 tons, a speed of
twenty knots and an armament of ten
inch and three-inCh guns. provided, of
course. the ships were intended for the
American navy.
The lessons in naval attack and de-
tense afforded by the late war in the
far east also form the subject of an
instructive article in LIE Yacht. the
writer advocating the reduction of
guns carried in battleships to two cali
bers and the suppression of medium
artillery, which is in effect the view
expressed by Admiral Dewey.
