Times have greatly changed since then and the
abbots and monks of Tepl have changed with them.
They are up to date in all things. Their sway is
absolutely free from the slightest trace of religious
intolerance. They display much zeal in making

making it hot for them. They welcome representa-

DARIS, July z8.-Since the days of General Bou-

under military dictatorship there has been a
strong of popular opinion against the nomi-
nation of general Minister of War. The Radical
party, which all probability will preside the
destinies of the republic for many year come,
appears already TO have accepted it as tradition
that the War Minister shall be a civilian

Two characteristic anecdotes give the measure of

commanded a battalion OF the One Hundred and

And matter of fact, during the whole march

the major expected of them, but they also knew
that they could reckon him for their well-earned
rest at the weeks end. He had his men in the
hollow of his hand and could do what he liked with
them They would have followed him anywhere.
The second anecdote IS still more characteristic.

soldier which even then marked him as the coming
Since that period he has been in command of
the Sixth Army Corps, the Iron Division which
guards the frontier and has thus intimate knowl-
edge OF the point of concentration of the French
armies in case of mobilization.
AS member OF the Conseil Superieur de la Guerre
and destined to the command of an army General
Hagron studied deeply the grave problem of revic-
tuang He has also initiated the excellent practice
of bringing together his staff and the stats of
the various army corps which would compose his
command that they may learn to work together
and be trained according his ideas.
He is strong believer in the value of active work
in the field the best preparation of officer for
actual warfare. Too many French staff officers,
otherwise admirably equipped by the Ecole de
Guerre, are at the present time sacrificed exgen
ces of Office work and red tape. Military men are
convinced that General Hagron will put an end to
this state of things and that he will reform the staff

4 A ARIENBADl July zS-No one has done
lNI TO popularize Marienbad than King Edward,
A'A who is expected to arrive here for his annual
visit about the middle of August It is perhaps
generally known that the partiality shown by his
Majesty for the Marienbad waters has been the
OF greatly enriohing one of the most remarkable
and weathiest Roman Catholic institutions in the
word-the Monastery, of Tepl, which was founded
far back as 1903
The whole OF Marienbad and an immense area of
land stretching right Bohemia belong to the
monastery. The monks run the entire place Here
and there monks have INDUCED in industrial specia-
zation with excellent results in the manufacture
OF that deectable of lqueurs, Chartreuse; but
nowhere else in the world are such variety of
mundane interests in the hands of men who are
primarily devoted to affairs that concern the next
world
That, however, does not prevent them from being
most excellent men OF business Any commission
in search Of information how to run a town
properly could not do better than study the methods
employed by the monks of Tepl Under their
guidance the prosperity of Marienbad has increased
by leaps and bounds. They have erected magnificent
buildings constructed public promenades, cut down
hundreds of trees TO make pleasant paths through
the forests, and have provided many other attrac-
tions for the varied of the visitors from all
nations who foregather Marenbad during the
summer. Graft" among them is unknown. There
pulls" Everything is done honestly.
Thoroughness in whatever they undertake always
has characterized the abbots and monks of Tepl
During the middle ages when Bohemia was the scene
OF many and bloody feuds, the abbot of
Tep was a militant churchman who was quite as
ready mount his charger and lead his retainers

tobacco they paid when the contract was first moot

set down 1t was big running into hundreds OF
thousands of pounds; they sold the tobacco at a
price that would CD pay the rentes, CD make them

For at the time of the establishment of the
monopoly the Government wanted money, but about
this time they wanted a lot of it. OF course they
always want money. but about this time they wanted
