NEWWARSECRETARY
GEN. LUKE E. WRIGHT NAMED
TO SUCCEED TAFT.
Tsnnesscean Has Followed In Foot
steps Of "Big Bill" for Nearly Ten
Years-Pralse from the
White House.

Washington.-The fact that he is a
Democrat may prevent General Luke
L. Wright of Tennessee succeeding
William Howard Taft as Republican
nominee for President, but that will
be the first break In Wright's success.
sion to Taft.
For nearly ten years Wright has lit
orally walked in the footsteps of
"Bill" Taft, and so 1t was n matter of
course that the president should have
announced his appointment as secre'
tary Of war on the same day that
Taft gave in his resignation.
Taft went to the Philippines on the
first commission. When he resigned
from the second commission to be-
come civil governor of the islands,
Wright took his place on the commits
sion.
Taft resigned as civil governor to
go to Cuba. Wright was appointed
governor.
Taft went back to the Philippines to
establish civil government, and
Wright. of course, became governor
general.
Taft became a globe-trotter; Wright
went to Japan.
Taft was appointed secretary Of
war and has resigned. Wright was
appointed.
The statement given out at the
White House concerning Mr.. Wrights
appointment says:
''As Philippine commissioner and
later as vice governor and governor
he won the affection and regard Of the
army to n high degree. and many OF
the most distinguished of the men
who served In the army at the time
he was in the Philippines have urged
his appointment, because they felt in
a peculiar way that he was their cham
pion and In peculiar way understood
them and their needs. This is espe

were union veterans of the civil war

DOGS IN WsRTIME
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
THE WOUNDED.
Frenchmen Urge Minister Of War to
Have Animals Attached to Am
bulance Corps-Idea Is NOT
New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
corps why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service OF the French army? The ad.
Vantases Of this innovation have been
set forth at some length by DR.. Biche-
Tonne and Capt. Toilet in a volume
which has, just been published. It is
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps"
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time of The
Boer war, and at the battle of Cha
to In the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered % soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1890. by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training Of dogs in war time have been
formed in Dresden, Cologne, Cobure,
A1X-la-chapelle and Neuwied. Similar
societies have been organized in Hol.
land, Sweden and Italy. In fact all Of
the European countries have turned
their attention tc the subject at one
time or other except France.
DR.. Bichelonne and Capt Toilet u~.ra
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds Of dogs in France which would
take easily TO the military training
1t IS an und;spTted fact, these all.
III 1rs say. that after an engagem mt
there are many wounded and dying
who are overlooked by the nurses and
litter carriers. A case in point is
quoted. At the battle of Recon vile
Gfavelotte in 1870 two injured soldiers
lay for three days in a ravine. The
gTcnad had been gone over ulany
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In in.
stances like this the usefulness OF
dogs as scouts is unquestioned.
IL is wonder that European armies
nave not awakened long before this
last decade to the Importance of dogs
as practical helpers in war time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role OF these canine assistants would
be very much The same as thar Of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been

WOMEN IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Fair Patrons.

The number of women spectators
is amazingly large---much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but t. is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
roOms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private ell.
frances. There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this ac-
count they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall street be-
Ing unknown. Another reason is that
the broker himself desires It, princi-
pally, be 1t confessed, because he is
anxious that If there be any Scenes"
they shall be private ones, "far from
the maddening crowds ignoble strife"
-and sight. For truth compels the
statement that women are poorcr los.
ers than men. 1t is the testimony Of
conservative brokers that q woman
gaHbler Is much more Of a gambler
than man--much more; that is, in
absorbing tenaciousncss and almost
vindictiveness. She seems to be car.
ried out Of and beyond herself to de-
gree that becomes uncomfortably dis
quteting when she loses. Even when
she Is a winner, and, as | have said,
the proportion Of winners to losers
among women Is about one to twenty,
there seems to be in her satisfaction
kind OF maliciousness that Is not
good to see.--World To-Day.
