NEW TRIMMINGS
ON NAVY UNIT ORAS
Officers of Certain Rank to
Wear AiguilletteS on
Occasions.

An innovation IN the uniform OF o1i-
GERS Of the United States navy was made
yesterday, when Il was announced that
aiguillettes, ornaments OF gold braid
hanging from the shoulder, may be
worn by men OF certain rank and under
certain circumstances.
These aiguillettes are not unlike those
which have been worn by officers OF
the United States army until recently.
They are q relic Of times past, when
stan officers were required 70 write
down the orders given them BY their
superiors and FOR this purpose carried A
pencil hanging from their shoulders.
When pencils were no longer needed,
the braid remained. IL has now been
introduced into the navy. The order
provides that 'aiguillettes may be worn
by aides TO tie President on the right
side by aides TO the chief-Of-Stan. and
by officers on stan. OF an officer Of nag
rank and naval attaches on left side.
For men at sea they must only be
worn when in port. coming out or going
In. They are 10 be attached 10 the
shoulder OF the service coat and undress
coats by q plain blue strap and a navy
button With evening dress the button

$4,000 Books Destroyed;
Unfit for Public Schools

Because Of their soiled OF worn con-
ditiOn and the Objectionable drawings
and writing IN them by pupils. 5000
text books were discarded from the
public schools Of Washington yester-
day by Superintendent OF Schools
Chancellor.
This action was taken after a thor
Ough inspection DR.. Chancellor made IN
the schools last week and the week
before that. Many OF the books were
torn in half. thousands were without
backs. and the great majority Of them
were IN a condition that. in the judg-
ment Of the school authorities, made
them insanitary.
In a great number Of them writing
and drawings by the pupils were found

Ior considered Il most unwise 10 let
them be used by other pupils. All these
condemned books had been kept In use
so long because Of the small appro-

chase Of text books
II is hoped by the school authorities
that this difficulty will be remedied next
year by Congress appropriating $4,000
for new text books.

INLAND WATERS
WILL MOVE TRADE

That the Inland waters of the United
States will be the great means Of trans
pOrtation in the future was the belief
expressed by Frederick Haynes Newell.
chief engineer Of the Reclamation Serv-
ice in an address before the University
Club last night.
Mr.. Newell, who has just returned
from a visit through the West inspect
ing the great reclamation projects be
ing conducted by the Government, gave
some idea Of the immensely Of the scope
Of the work now being conducted by
member of the Presidential party on
the trip down the Mississippi.
He said that the President was re-
ceived everywhere IN the South with the
greatest enthusiasm and that in many
places along the route people stayed
cut all night just to get a glimpse Of
the Presidents boat as it passed along
Long Engaged President.
THE reclamation OF the water as
means Of transportation said Mr..
Newell, mas engaged the Presidents
attention since he assumed the reign
Of Government. First he took up the
forestry problem and today there are
now more than 100000 acres under
Government supervision. From this
great work. he said the President has
taken up the reclamation of the arid
lands of the West. The reclamation
service has established a circulating
fund with the appropriations from Con-
gress and eventually all money expend-
ed in irrigating. Mr.. Newell stated
would come back into the Golfers Of
the United States Treasury. In the fu-
| ture. the problem that the United states
| Government win wrestle with will be
| the drainage and reclamation Of marsh
| lands.
''There was a time SAID Mr. Newell
when the rivers of the country formed
/ the only neaDs Of transportation. but
owing to the inadequate means en-
| plOyed in loading and unloading vessels,
| the railroads Of the country afford the
cheapest means of transportation. Par
ticularly along the Mississippi river Is
| this noticeable. Nearly the whole length
of the river, the railroads have been
/ given concessions by the small towns.
/ They control the entire water front
and today the wonderful spectacle pre-
| sents itself In that with the exception

KOREANS MAY TURN
COULD WAGE COSTLY GUERRILLA
WARFARE AGAINST JAPAN.

NEW YORK, July 29.-"Knowing as I
do the Korean temperament and the pol
icy which Japan has pursued in the
peninsula. am able to predict that Japan
Will secure peace there only by the deci-
nation of the people
This is the opinion of Homer B. Hubert,
for several years intimately associated
with the Korean court and confidential
adviser to the deposed Emperor of Korea.
Mr.. Hubert, who has just come 70 Amer
lea. Is thoroughly familiar with the stu
alton at Seoul at this time and with the
policy pursued by Japan in Korea, which,
he says. brought about the abdication of
the old emperor and the precipitation Of
the crisis in the history of that country.
1T is hard to arouse the Koreans to
the fighting point" continued Mr. Hull
bert. They are almost infinitely patient
but drive them to desperation and they
will turn on their tormentors they did
in 1892 and then nothing but eXtermina-
ton will give Japan peace there But to
exterminate 13,OOO,O00 people, or even to
beat them into quiescence, will be no
easy task. And who could blame the
Koreans II they should turn upon those
who are trampling them to the ground?
An American officer once told me that no
one would care to help the Koreans until
they showed a disposition to help them
selves. Many believe the Koreans have not
enough virility to turn upon the Japanese,
but those who know them best think diff
ferently. The Koreans are fast approach
ing the turning point, and despair will arm
them to resistance, even though 1t be sui
cidal The Korean people, thoroughly arous-
ed, could carry on guerrilla warfare that
would bankrupt Japan i'll three years. The
enormous vested interests of Japan in Korea
would fall to a shadow of their present

French Premier Up in a Balloon.

PARIS, July 23.-Premier Clemenceau and
Gen. Picquart, the minister of war, made
an ascension in the dirigible military bal
loon Patrie yesterday afternoon. The trip
lasted two hours, and during a part OF it
at least there was some excitement aboard
the airshp. While over the dome of the
Invalides, after having encircled the Eiffel
tower, water pipe burst, and Immediately
the premier was drenched with hot water,
which, fortunately, however. was not hot
enough to scald. No one was hurt by the
accident, but the two ministers were con-
sderably disconnected by the mishap. They
were treasured eventually by the pilots of
the airship, as we'll by the steadiness OF
the airship itself, which the aeronauts
coolly and Systematically went about re-
pairing This occupied some twenty min
utes, while the Patrie fioated in safety and,
to the spectators watching below appeared
to be maneuverlng.
After reaching the solid ground again
both the premier and the minister of war
declared they enjoyed the trip very much
and made light OF the accident. Comment
ing on the voyage, the premier said
Il impressed with the feeling of Sc
curity and stability 1t was like standing
on the deck of a warship."
