NO MORE ROMANCE IN WAR.
Preparation and Combat Brought to
Scientific Basis.

Scientific Basis.
In spite of all that the military
critics may say, war as a romantic oc-
cupation is doomed. The killing of
men on the field of glory in days long
past is still pictured as pretty
pastime," as Napoleon said. But the
favorite old figures of tradition are
fast disappearing before the steady
advance of science.
To-day Browning's boy rider who
was shot in two while bearing news
of the capture of Ratisbon to the en-
peror would be a matter-of-fact teleg-
rapher sitting quietly at his instru-
ment, and Beranger's grizzled veteran
of the guard returning to die with
the colOrs would be barred at the re-
cruiting office because he could not
tell blue from green without glasses.
Gen. Greedy grew enthusiastic the
other day while describing before the
Military Service Institution at Gov
ernors Island how the japanese had
wired" whole army spread out be-
fore the enemy. He quoted approx
ingly war correspondent who said
that the clicking of the telegraph in
struments at his headquarters meant

phone to the chiefs of

ware. for all the sentiment to be got
out of such a situation
Kuropatkin's headquarters railway
carriage and touring cars for side
trips are only Indicative of what may
be done when his methods are per-
fected. When that time comes. the
dashing cavalry leader brevetted for
gallantry the field of action will
have rothing to boast of except that
he burst seven tires while charging
across the tack mines of an enemy
two counties away. There will be no
more Sheridan's rides.
When a lookout officer stationed in
an impregnable bomb-proof with an
automatic range-finder shall direct by
wireless telephone the firing of
smokeless guns of hidden batteries
against an invisible enemy war will
degenerate into a mere scierti test
between rival lens-makers and electri-
calsupplies concerns. The last step
will be heroless war and pension

| British Government Offers Large
| Tract for Settlement.


Three commissioners representing
the Zionist movement have just start
ed to British East Africa to inspect
tract of land as large as Wales, which
the British government has offered
the Jews of all parts of the world as
a place of settlement preparatory to
the realization of their ultimate object
of occupying Palestine
The tract is described in a recent
lecture by Sir Henry Johnston to the
Friends of Jewish Freedom as a fer
tile, well watered country, with a eli
mate like a perpetual mild summer"
situated some twenty miles from the
Uganda railway. This Jewish colony
is to be under a Jewish administrator,
subject to British rule, with a large
degree of autonomy. 1t will be a place
of asylum for the distressed and op-
pressed Jews of eastern Europe.
The governments offer has been
professionally accepted by the Zionist
committee, and commissioners, as
already stated. have been sent to as
certain the Residences of the pro-
posal to build a new Jewish state in
this region.

TO PROBE FINANCIAL SCANDAL.
Creditors Want Large Sum from New
York National Bank.

Archibald G.. LOOMS has resigned as
second vice president of the National
City bank, New York, because of the
disclosures growing out of the Mum
roe & Munroe scandal.
Mr. LOOMS withdrawal from the
bank does not end the connection of
the Standard Oil institution with the
Montreal and Boston stock-washing
scandal.
The bank got $50, 900 from Munroe
& Munroe on the day of the failure,
and Samuel Untermyer, counsel for
Receiver Work, claims that this money
should go into the general fund for di-
vision among all of the creditors. I'm
less the bank voluntarily makes resti-
tuition of the 100000, suit will probably
be brought for its recovery.
This may make necessary the call
ing of James Stillman, president of
the Rockefeller bank, as witness
When Mr. Loomis goes on the stand
he will not be connected with the
bank, and the directors are anxious
that none of the officials or employees
shall be called to tell of the bank
dealings with the Munroes.
The creditors are confident, how
ever, that the full relations or the
bank with the enormous washing of
Montreal and Boston have not yet
been disclosed, and some of them de-
clare that the books of the bank
should be produced in open court and
closely examined.
Frank Brewer, the broker who got
10000 shares of Montreal & Boston
stock from the Munroes on the day of
the failure, but was only charged on
the books of the firm for $4,000 shares,
is said to have been the personal
broker of Mr.. Loomis.
Why Brewer should have been made
the gift of $1,000 shares, worth at
the time $4,000, is one of the many
mysteries of the scandal not yet
cleared up. Mr.. Ioomis will be ques-
toned about this phase of the case.

fell in the very thickest of the fight

"The conduct of the great body OF

Grams give us any trouble, and these
are not nearly so annoying as the
we'll meaning, misguided contingent
of outside cranks and temperance ia
natics who are continually trying to
tell the president and congress how
the homes ought to be rum For in
stance, the outside band of philan-
thropists would abolish the canteens
established in the homes, despite the
fact that experience has proved their
great usefulness. These canteens, or
beer halls-since nothing but beer
is sold in them-make directly for
the good of the inmates and are in
the interest of sobriety and decent
conduct. The amount of beer sold
to the individual is strictly limited,
and no one who is intoxicated is al
lowed to enter the beer hall, nor can
drinks be obtained after O'Clock
p. M
THE evils of intoxication on the
part of veteran inmates come from
patronizing drinking resorts in the
vicinity of the grounds, where the old
soldiers can buy cheap whisky, and
where they are often drugged and
robbed. The abolition of the canteen
would simply increase the patronage
of these resorts Instead of reducing
temperance, such a policy would pro-
mote it and would make drunkards
out of many now leading respectable
lives. Post.

New Pension RuIino.

Some years ago. said an army of
ficer, the War Department held that
a soldier who was injured while out
hunting in the far West on a pass was
disabled in the line of duty and there
fore entitled to a pension. 1t was held
that as hunting is encouraged by mill
tary authorities, the solder in doing
what he was encouraged to do was
not thereby taken out of the line of
duty.
Following the precedent establish
ed in that case, the department has
recently held that a soldier whose leg
was broken by being run over by a
street car was disabled in the line of
duty. In this case it appears that the
soldier was absent from his post on
pass for the purpose of self-improve-
ment; that is he was going to at
tend lecture. 1t was held by the
authorities that this case was analo-
gous with the other one referred to,
in that each case the passes were
granted with the idea that the use
to which they would be put would be
benefit to the soldier, and through
him to the service."-Washingt

Two Rate Bills Introduced In the

in the House by Representatives Esch
of Wisconsin and Townsend of Micni-
gan. These gentlemen are reputed to.
be the only Republicans on the House,
interstate commerce committee who.
really desire legislation affecting rail-
road rates.
The two bills dovetail into each,
other and are obviously intended to be
passed together. The Esch bill is an,
act comforting additional powers on
the interstate commerce commission.
1t authorizes the commission, when
rates are found unreasonable, to SUBJ
stitute just and reasonable rates,
which must take effect within thirty
days. The Townsend bill creates a
court of transportation, which is to-
rank in a general way with the United
States circuit court. 1t is to consist of
chief judge with a salary of $4,000 q
year and four associate judges at
$500. all appointed by the President.
