"In spite of all the talk to the con-
trary l will go to Boston next year,
this statement was made by Barney
Joy last night. Il am going to do my

get with men with experience l will
do even better than | did last year on
the Frisco team.
THE team will train down South,
and | will leave here probably some
time in February to join them. If
Dick Reuter- goes away he will also
make GOOD, as he has speed and with
proper training will come out on the
top of the heap"
The chances for Dick Reuter-, the
popular Kan pitcher, going to the coast
this coming season are very good, and
already he is considering some offers
made to him. Danny Long, manager
of the Frisco team, has offered to give
him S125 for a start, but it is very
doubtful if he will accept that offer as
he will probably get more before he
ranks as a Pro. Henley was instruct
ed by Long to look after Dick when he
came down. and the report he will get
about the big pitcher will probably be
of such a nature, that more money will
be offered him. Donahue who caught
Dick in two of the games, stated that
with good coaching Dick would make
good on any team. l am going to
-, H.,
land manager, and a1so to the manager
of the Boston American team, and ! am
very sure that Dick will get an offer
from them. Reuter- with good coach
ing will make a very good pitcher, and
his stay on minor league teams will
probably be very short, as some of the

were guests of honor at a real native
feast last night. Now, a Hawaiian
spread is of different stuff from the
victuals served at the Fairmont Ho-
tel. Raw fish, cooked dog, fried sea-
week and poi are a few of the choice
dishes served at a native banquet.
DevereauX nibbled at the fish, parked
at the dog, brushed over the seaweek
and made faces at the poi. Henley
had a stronger stomach. He played
the game from soup to nuts. After the
feast which was served on the floor,
and without knives and forks, which is
strictly according to custom, Deve-
reauX whispered to Henley: Now
let's go and get something to eat. "
Brick declared on the way home that
it was easier to learn the language
than eat the food OF the natives.

CINCE only limited time each year is available

of the field soldier. Parades and exhibition drills

important to teach men to shoot and look after

instance is very likely to be followed by success in
subsequent actions by the forces.
We have had our share nation of war expert
during the last sixty years, and it is safe to
predict that the success and glory of the past would
be lessons and inspirations for the future The
important elements for army for this country
that the principles of Government should be
thoroughly understood and appreciated by everyone
connected with the military service from the highest
to the lowest; that unselsh devotion to the welfare
of the nation is of the highest importance and a
sacred duty which every officer and soldier owes to
his country and Government; that the laws creating
the army have in the main been wise and judicious,
and should be carefully and faithfully executed and
that it is the duty of everyone to devote his best
energies and efforts to discharge whatever duties
may be required of him in the station he occupies.
One large advantage that our army has is the con-
seriousness of serving Government of free people.
We cannot train officers too thoroughly,
difficult and complicated is their profession. The
history of war abounds with remarkable number
of almost unexpainabe failures of men, who, up to
their hour of trial. have been considered excellent
soldiers
Then let us have as large a reserve, in the form
of militia the States will maintain, from which
to recruit volunteer army. Of course, it is
inevitable that some men will join the militia for
other than patriotic motives and will not perform
their duties faithfully and seriously. We may
depend, however, many who really
interested in the militia; who have enlisted
because of that Unborn love and devotion to the
welfare of the community, State, and nation, which
is found in true patriot, and in who realize the
Importance of the military service. While there is
a strong and growing desire for universal peace the
last eight years show clearly that things
of the past When consider the enormous COM
mercal strife of the present day, in which Govern
ments SO largely involved and the many wars
that can be attributed to it, the benevolent hope of
the world for peace seems far from its fulflment.

science of war is one of the Oldest and cannot be
taught or applied IN an emergency or without careful
and thorough preparation.
The very implements used now are so COM
pllcated that time is required for their effective
use. The weapons that have been brought into use
within the last few decades have CHANGED the
methods of modern warfare, but not the PRINCIPLES
Now the railway, the automobile, the telegraph and
other appliances have made it possible to assemble
or dsperse or to move large bodies of troops with
the greatest rapld1ty thereby making it possible to
cover large areas of country and make the theater
OF war much more extensive than in former times
Hence thorough knowledge of the country in which
armies are to move is of the first and vital impor-
tance next, the capabilities of country for supply
ing an army, and the of furnishing such
supplies. The requirements essential and imper-
at1Ve as preceding the time in which armies are
effective must be organized that it will be strong
and efficient, perfect in every department
1t IS difficult to conceive of honorable
profession that would prompt men to heroic
deeds and faithful service, and if need be to noble
sacrifice. An army should be so organized and
governed that the young patriotic of the nation
would seek its service; in fact it should be grand
