Clothes of Americans
Awful Says Englishnan

London, July 28.-In twelve months
from now the American army will be
the finest dressed body Of men in the
world. This statement was made by
George B. Winter, the London military
tailor, who has just. returned from
America. His opinion Of the American

to design clothes for them, particularly
as those they were wearing we'll i'll
fitting and uncomfortable and without
gracefulness. M
9tIn the future. however, the Ameri
can soldier will be the best-dressed
fighting men in the world. The cloth
used is great deal better than that
in British uniforms.
The London tailor is very satirical
about the American tailors. They make
a lot Of money inventing fad clothes,
he says. The result, as far as the Gus
toner is concerned, is ludicrous.

York are the most foolishing- looking
dudes I have ever seen. The smart

ers they only fit where they touch.
They look as If they had been made in

man. ~ -.5.s.. 80.

Clever French Cab Men
Find the Taxirnetre Easy

Paris, July 2S-The registering ap-
paratus for public cabs which is known
as the taximeter came into use in Paris
a little more than a year ago. Since
that time, it is said, cabmen have
devised about a dozen different
schemes of beating the cab companies
in the count. F..
The result is that the companies have
appealed to the project of the Seine
and to the police and municipal coun-
Gil to have change made or that reg
'ular control be provided to protect that
company. The project replied that the
relations between .cab-owners and cab
men are purely private, and they
should settle their own differences and
should establish their own army of in
spectors.
M. Lamy, president of the cab
owners syndicate, argues that this is
impossible in view Of the expense. He
cites an, instance Of police control Of
cabs in Berlin. -,
The taximeter apparatus operates
tw9 wa one aesGEdng to a nee
cabmen arrange with customers to keep
the taximeter on the distance schedule
during long waits-for instance, the
entire afternoon at the races. AS a
result, the cabmen pocket a snug extra
sum, which the companies lose.
Another scheme is to raise the lower
lever until the mechanical limit Of a
hundred fares is reported and then be-
gin anew, so that, on returning to the
stables, the company's inspector can
take into account that which is indi-
Gated on the dial whereas the hundred
fares previously recorded 20 silently

BOY STOLE BABY LIONS
Tucked Two Under His Blouse at Bos.
ton Animal kindergarten.

Boston, July 2s.-The mystery sur
rounding the theft Of two baby lions
from the kindergarten at Paragon park
was cleared away today when member
of the summer colony at Point Allerton
called at Paragon park and confessed
that his 12-year-old son, who had be-
come imbued with the idea that he must
become ion-tamer, had stolen the
animals and kept them unknown to his
parents in shed. When one Of the
lions died, as a result Of being over
fed, he confessed his theft to his
mother. 7tss
The father offered to reimburse the
kindergarten for any reasonable amount
on condition that his son should@not be
prosecuted. He paid $175. 60
At the Kindergarten baby leopard,
two baby lions, two dachshunds, two
rabbits, baby bear and monkey were
placed on a low table and the children
are allowed to play with them. Two
weeks ago the lad from Point Allerton
paid a visit to the park. He played
with the pets for hours, and when the
attendant was out of sight slipped the
two baby lions under his blouse and
started for home. =.

Fighters of the World -.
Sought for Jamestown

London, July 2S:-Charles w. Kohl
saat, commissioner general of the
jamestown exposition, this week began
his novel task Of comforting with" the
authorities Of European countries with
regard, not only to obtaining exhibits
ranging for representation of their ar
mics and navies at the exposition.
Mr.. Kohlsaat marked his arrival here
by making the interesting statement
that practically all the nations Of the
world had signifed their intention of
and navies for exhibition purposes.
Japan was about the only land which
had not definitely fallen in line with
the proposition, but the commissioner
general anticipates no difficulty in per-
suading the powers in control to send
a representation.
AN exhibition of the world g navies
without JAPAN said Mr.. Kohlsaat,
would, in effect, be more incomplete
than if some Of the greater powers
were left out. No other nation is more
before the American people, and 1T is
the logical conclusion that the Japan
ese military representation would prove
of the greatest interest.
He will make, his plea to the Toxic
expense Of sending one or two battle
ships to the United States would be
only slightly in excess Of the ordinary
cost of maintenance. In fact, it was
this argument which figured largely in
the ready acceptance Of the proposal
in all countries which will take part.
From the pledges already made, the
exhibition will be different from any
thing before undertaken and will be a
success Of the most gratifying nature.
In addition to seeing the military
authorities, Mr.. Kohlsaat will take occa-
sion to visit various expositions now
world to arrange With the pr principal ex-
hibitors for similar exhibitions at the
Jamestown exposition. He will also
keep IN touch with leading industrial
| interests for the same purpose: With
! only nine months to complete his mis-
sion, he has mapped out an extensive
! program during his tour of the world,
and will be kept moving constantly
from one place to another. $. ~
