BY w. w. Jermane, Colorado Building,
Washington, q. G..
Washington, Oct. 27.-In the Roose-
welt family at large there has been
some feeling, it is understood, as to-
which particular Roosevelt should in
herit the medal Of honor earned in the
civil war by George w. Roosevelt, at
present consul general at Brussels. 1t
is now the understanding among mem
.bers of the Congress Medal of Honor
legion, however, that the owner of the
medal has decided to leave it to his
nephew, the present president of the
United States, as the one who has done
the most to deserve the sacred en-
iblem of unusual courage.
Medals of honor, bestowed by con-
gress for acts of conspicuous bravery
in battle, are not common, and hence
not to be cheaply regarded.
George w. Roosevelt earned his med
al at the battle Of Gettysburg when he
was only 10 years old. He won his
honor by dashing singlehanded into
body of confederate troops and recover
ing stand of union colors captured by
them. He was wounded in many places
and lost a leg in the transaction, but he
got the colcrs and brought them back
to the command from which they were
taken, after cutting down several of
the enemy who had declined to part
with their prize. az;s

Of modern warfare, is soon to be
adopted by the, United States govern

magazine rifle. Tests have been under
way for several months at Springfield,
Mass, and the new bullet has shown
so many advantages over the present
service bullet that Brigadier General
William Crozier, chief of ordnance an ct
will undoubtedly replace the one which
has been used since 1892. ' IS:
The new bullet is sharp pointe dan
innovations in rifle PROF ctiles-and is
considerable lighter than any bullet
now in use in any Of the standard army
rifles of thesworld. The muzzle velocity
Of the bullet is 200 feet per second,
and its force is such that when fired
cross grained into a piece Of seasoned
oak timber the bullet penetrates the
wood for over thirty nine inches. Add
to these results, which, have never been.
attained in an army weapon, a fiat $tra-
iectory that renders the projectile dam
gerous to an infantryman for 600 yards
on a 100D-yard range, and the United
States has a rife ball which will be
more effective for service in the field
than ANYTHING. Of it's kind ever con-
ceived for use in any army weapon.
| The fiat trajectory is one of the
greatest advantages the bullet, has over
all others. The present service bullet
| in, travelling 1000 yards rises to a
/ height Of twenty three feet at mid-dis-
1 lance. This is a rise and fall 81: 8
feet per 100 yards. The new pointed
/ bullet, on the other hand, only rises ten
feet, an average rise and fall of two
1 feet per 100 yards. With the cid bull
| let a troop of cavalry could march
across the line Of fire at mid distance Of
a 1,OOO-yard range and the bullets
would whistle over the men s heads.
With the fiat trajectory of the new
bullet this. could not be done, and a
4 soldier on foot would be in danger 600
4 yards out Of the 4 900. The sharp
1 pointed bullet weighs $50 grains. as
i compared with the. 220-grain bullet now

Of about 25 per cent in the charge be-

The projecti1e is slightly more than
I'LL inches long and is encased in a
nickel-stee1 jacket similar to the old
bullet. The point is long and sharp and

Correspondence of The Journal.


Berlin, Oct 1s.-With or without the
consent of his cousin, the German en-
peror, Prince Joachim Albrecht OF
Prussia is determined to wed Marie
Sulzer, a German actress of humble
birth, mature years and dubious past.
So at least the royal Wooer assures his
friends To marry the woman he
loves he is prepared to defy both the
kaiser's mailed fist and oracular tongue.
That the kaiser will ever give, his
consent to the morganatic marriage is
highly improbable. He holds most ex-
allied notions of the social obligations
imposed by the possession of Hohen:
zollern blood and relationship with his
august self Such a marriage as the
prince is bent. on would constitute a
mesalliance of the most glaring char
acter. And it would be the first, mes
alliance to be contracted by member
of the royal house of Prussia. 80.
Tho one thing to be said in it's favor
ored of the still sprightly, tho no longer
youthful soubrette of the -Trianon
theater, he has sobered down consider
ably and no longer leads the riotous
life of a royal high roller. The un-
equal match may make better man Of
him after all. But considerations of
this kind are hardly likely to weigh
with man who has such highfalutin
ideas of dignity as the German
emperor. Should he;@ however, make
concession to Cupid and give his sane
ton to the marriage. the prince would
have to ,renounce all his rights and
privileges as member of the royal
family. = HetwouId have to leave the
army and would be excluded from
court functions In fact. he would be-
come practically an ex-prince possessed
of no more authority or dignity than
those European monarchs who have lost
their jobs. ees:..s -er.s,-- = 800 e.-s@'s.~,
Should he marry without the kaiser s
consent, he will have to get the nuptial
knot tied abroad. Instead of being
allowed to resign from the army, he
will be expelled from it in disgrace,
and probably exilcd from Germany by
imperial decree. The emperor might
also confscate his property. But fore
seeing this contingency, the prince has
taken steps to place as much as possible
of his possessions beyond the reach of
his imperial cousin by transferring his
valnables to the vaults of London
money in English and French securities.
The fact that he has adopted L this
course indicates that he is fully re-
solved on marrying the actress. It
would still be possible. however, for the
kaiser to order the confscation Of some
notes tied up in German securities and
deprive the prince of the land inherited
from his father, who died Of apoplexy
only month ago.
Having already sacrificed "a big for

Another Of the desirable features at
tendant unon the use Of the LIGHT bull

Another Of the desirable features at
tendant upon the use Of the light bull
let in the rifle is the noticeable lack
of recojl in the rifle, as contrasted with
the new model rife and the old service
bullet. One of the chief criticisms
new rifle is it's sharp recoil, which is
generally attributed to the carbine style
Of the rifle and seems to be due to the
whip Of the barrel at the beginning Of
the explosion Of the charge, which
draws the gun away from the shoulder
and imparts the actual force Of the re-
coil against the shoulder in sharp blow.
The actual Tecoil Of the gun, as
measured in sfootpounds, with the
pared to, about eight footpounds with
sthe old service bullet. It is aireason-
able theory, and one supported by army
experts, that the new sharp-pointed
bullet, with its smaller bearing sur
face against the rifle barrel, exerts less
friction in the bore, which, Of necessity,
diminishes the snap to the barrel Of
the rifle when the charge is exploded. i
In the tests for. penetration, the
sharp pointed bullet demonstrated again
asclean superiority over the old service
tion untouched by any service weapon
in the world. The old service bullet
has penetrated oak blocks, well sea-
soned and. ranged cross grained, to. a
depth of 39.7 inches The new projec-
tile is capable of a penetration in a
block of this kind of over thirty-nine
inches. The penetration of the sharp
pointed bullet in white, pine at 500
yards is 80 inches, and at 1000 yards
141a inches, while the old service bull
let at 500 yards is 26 inches, and at
1000 yards 101a inches.
With this new bullet trees will be OF
little protection to soldiers, for at close
range the bullet would not only pass
thru the trunk of the tree but thru .
couple Of men hiding behind it. The
pointed bullet makes straighter course
thru wood than the old bullet. The
velocity Of 200 feet per second is an
increase of 600 feet and is the cause
of the increase in penetration
