ANTHONY TO FIGHT
PROMOTION IN ARMY
Says He Will Oppose Ad-
vancing Colonel Scott Over
Heads of Older Officers.

Representative Anthony OF Kansas.
Gen. Leonard Wood, and Col Hugh L.
Scott, superintendent of the West Point
Military Academy, will be the con-
spicuOus figures in n possible Congress
sional inquiry growing out of differ
eLces between Mr.. Anthony and Colonel
Scott and involving General Wood.
The immediate cause of the contro-
versy is that Representative Anthony
has heard that the President proposes
to advance Colonel Scott over officers
Of superior rank to the grade Of brig
adler general, proceeding which Rep
resentative Anthony declares is unjusti-
fed, and which he viii fight

OF the charges, and he in turn brought
charges against Colonel Scott Major

Colonel Scott, it is understood, has

Colonel Scott has committed a breach
OF army regulations in attacking a men,

Ionu Sentences.

Ruskin, 1t Is said. has written more
sentences Of fhordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words in IA num-
Der of typical sentences, finding that in
the earlier books 1t was no uncommon
thing for Ruskin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief Of full stop But in
every case the sense is clear rs day.
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac-
ter OF the Happy Warrior" Is a notable
example Of sustained connections.
Apart from the opening and closing
couplets the poem consists OF two very
long compound sentences almost en-
tirely comprised Of adjectival canses.
The longer of the two sentences con
tains fifty-seven decasyllabic lines.
This Is probably record in English
verse.-Argonaut

vided into eight checks of $i,lG6.67 each
