Trouble on samos Island.

The importation of a few machines for the manufacture of cigarettes was the spark which set off the evolution in the Island of Samos whose inhabt- tants are now determined to tear them selves loose from the rule of Turkey. The little island, 1t Is 46S square Kilometres in area and it's principal town boasts of 10000 inhabitants, iS ruled by a prince by the grace of the Sultan of Turkey who pays into the Turkish treasury an annual tribute of ! 300, 900 piastres. The princes change very often for the people are in the habit of letting them know in the plainestN possible mannef that they are not popular and the only one who ever enjoyed any popularity was Prince Karatheodori, who was deposed last year by the Sultan for that very req son.
 The present prince was getting along tolerably well until he allowed a Ger man manufacturer of cigarettes to im- port cigarette making machines. When he did that he sealed his own doom for a number of Samos women make their living by making cigarettes and when the machines came forty-five of these lost their jobs and that was en- ough to cause a general uprising.
 The fathers, mothers and brothers not to speak of cousins and sweet hearts of the women went right up to the princes palace and demanded that he give orders to have the mac hines destroyed. When he refused they began to throw rocks at him as his own guard seemed rather pleased at this the prince beat nasty retreat and sent a messenger to the Sultan asking for troops. The Sultan gave orders to the Turkish garrison in the island to defend the prince and the whole force consisting of fifty men armed with fiintlock guns was ordered to Lombard the city of Vathy where the prince has his palace.
 The Turkish troops threatened to do so but as they weVe afraid to leave their barracks thefr threats had no effect Then the Sultan sent 100 soldiers over to the island from Smyrna. The prince went down to the dock to re- ceive the transport but was surrounded beaten and made prisoner on his own konak. Tken there was a brisk little fight between the people and the 100 soldiers who were finally driven away
 Furious at this insult the Sultan ordered three Turkish men of war to go to Samos and all fConstantlnople lined the shores to witness the unusual sight of Turkish ironclads actually sailing Probably the Sultan wanted to show that not all his navy Is junk and that there really exists Turkish naval officers who are not afraid No take their vessels into the open sea.
 But in the mean time the ruler of Samos sits a prisoner on the roof of his palace and swears at cigarette girls and cigarette machines while the Sultan is wondering whether England's suggestion to send twenty English soldiers to Samos to protect the Tur- kish flag was meant as an insult or a sign of good will.

Critic..e. Klnr Edv,rd

General Gallffet the former French Minister of war does not believe that King Edward deserves the credit he is getting as the Prince of Peace On the contrary he has openly declared in an interview with French journalist that if war comes and he thinks 1t is inevitable. 1t will be mainly due to the intrigues of the king of England.
 For years" the general said, "King Edward has done little but annoy his Imeprial nephew the Kaiser in every possible way and although Wilhelm has shown much more patience than one should expect from a man of his serv temperament. this cannot last much longer and then we shall have the war. will even go so far as to say that war IS what Rink Edward desires because Germany is robbing England of her commercial supremacy and the time Is not very far when the

nrutalifr in Armr.


 In spite of all the Kaiser's efforts to stamp out the maltreatment of pri- yates in the army cases of brutality towards their men on the part of non commissioned officers are continually cropping up.
 One of the worst cases of cruelty and brutality ever recorded has just been taken up by a court martial in this city when four sergeants and four bombardiers of the First Artillery of the Guard one of the crack regiments of the army were placed on trial for III treatment of subordinates.
 No less than 600 charges were made against the principal offender Sergeant Thamme's and forty against sergeant Schulz.
 The kernel of the case was the sui eide of recruit named Kobee, who was constantly abused by Thamme or by his own comrades acting under Thammess orders. Through fear Of torment Kobbe finally threw himself from a window in the military barracks and Sdied in the hospital few hours afterwards. E
 With the utmost reluctance q number of the dead mans comrades who were evidently afraid of what might happen to themselves testified against the sergeant and their testimony showed that the accused had been even far more brutal than 1t appeared in the complaint and that it would probably only have been a question of time when the dead man would have sue cumbed from the tortures he was made to suffer daily.
 The court sentenced the sergeant to eighteen months Imprisonment and to be expelled from the army after serv- ing his term in prison. The other accused were all found guilty and were sent to prison for terms varying be- tween one month and a year.

German navy will compare favorably with the British
 At the present Great Britain may still be considered ruler of the sea but in five or at the most ten years she shall have been passed bv both Ger many and the United States: King Euward wants war to get chance to destroy the German navy before 1t gets to be too strong but it is to be hoped by all patriotic Frenchmen that he will not succeed in dragging France into struggle where we should have to bear the brunt of the battles and probably gain nothing while England after annihilating the German navy would not care q rap what happened to her allies."
 Rostand's New Play.
 In about two months the world is to see another play by the famous author of Cyrano and Aiglon. Edmond Rostand for all arrangements have now been made to produce the much advertised animal play "chanteciair' at Theatre Porte Saint Martin during the first week of August and so we'll has the press agent worked that even now there is not a seat to be had for the first performance when Frances most famous actor the great Coquelin is to appear in the role of vaingIori- ous barnyard rooster with his son Jean assisting him in the part of the farm dog. Altogether there are sixty odd animal parts in the play.
 As to how the play will be received opinions greatly differ but most people are prone to believe that ft will be too eccentric to please Parisians and very likely this Is true for parts of the play were written while Rostand was on the verge of insanity If not really insane and even today he is so ner- vous that were he an ordinary mortal he would undoubtedly be considered what you Americans call "a little of"

 The husbands father some years ago was Chinese minister in Paris. The son who was an attache at the lega- tion was received in good society. He made the acquaintance of the lady who is now suing him for divorce and sought her hand in marriage. Her family objected but ultimately their scruples were overcome and the pair were married in 1902.
 While in Europe TIsingling was a model husband. but a year or so after the wedding he was recalled to Pekin, his wife accompanying him. Me Hsingling found life in the heavenly empire not at all to her liking. Her husband from courtly dignihed gentleman became a brutal Oriental She suffered terribly and ultimately after some months confinement she succeeded with the French legation and after long negotiations her release was effected.
