unfortunate that the casus belli. as it

What does it mean? Look back over
the history of these Benning meets and
you will find almost invariably that they
have been similarly marked by outbreaks
Of crime in the city-pilferings. hold-ups.
and robberies.
Can any one doubt that there is con-

The blacklegs-legalized and protected

sirous of bringing some pressure on Vene-
Zuela. short Of military force, that will

A tariff war on Venezuelan products or
an embargo on their Importation into the
United States, is thought preferable to a

Probably a tariff war is the only kind of

country viii hardly rise to heights Of
moral Indignation over the state Of facts
disclosed by Special Commissioner Cal
houn's long suppressed report. From this
1t appears that the Bernudez Company's
only valid ground of complaint against
the government of Venezuela is that its
property was sequestrated without war

Bermudez Company helped 10 finance the

that the Castro outfit considers the seiz-

Getting Even with the Duke.

From the Indianapolis News
The Duke Of Devonshire. Just dead. was
noted for several things besides being a
great statesman and a peer Of vast
wealth and high dignity. a party leader
and "a factor in the life OF his country
that few men are in any country. Il was
said Of him, for instance. that he had the
most naughty, Sphinx-like expression OF
countenance that ever mortal wore. and
especially in his young days-he was
prone TO live up to Il. He visited this
country during the civil war and wore
Confederate flag in his lapel at a ball
This did not at all prevent him from call
ing on President Lincoln at the White
House. In those days the duke was the
Marquis of Hartington-the courtesy title
Of the heir TO the dukedom. When pre-
sented TO the President that fine gentle
man, with depth Of diplomacy and sar-
casm never excelled. persistently called
him Mr.. Partington." This bland way
Of ignoring him must have got through

doubted. James Russell Lowell and
others less eminent scored the MARQUIS

UnaccouutabIe Military "Rule. -

Those who have followed closely mill
tary events and who appreciate the desire
of those in authority in the army to pro-
mote the contentment of the enlisted
force and encourage re-eniist tment viii
find IT difficult 10 read with any sort Of
patience a record which has just reached
the War Department in the case of a
captain of the Fourteenth Cavalry. sta
toned at Boise Barracks. Idaho. This
officer was tried before a general court
martial for imposing fantastic punish
merits upon enlisted men whom he felt
called upon to discipline IN one case he
had soldier parade the post for three
hours Sin plain sight of every enlisted man
and passing civilians. bearing on his back
a placard with the legend Bad Boy in
large letters" This soldier deserted, and
II must be admitted that an enlisted man
who was thus Inundated could not be
muck blamed for leaving the service In
at least three other cases this cavalry
captain resorted TO solitary confinement
from q few hours 10 nearly a week. the
victims being on a bread and water diet
during the period Of confinement. All OF
fed. although there were technical excep-
tons to the finding Of guilty. The officer
escaped with nothing more serious than a
sentence that he be confined TO the lipits
Of the post for four months and to be
reprimanded In orders by the reviewing
authority
The latter part Of the sentence has been
carried out in brief paragraph which
discloses the fact that II is "a matter of
record that desertions We're excessive and
discomfort prevalent AT Boise Barracks"
while the cavalry captain was in COM
mand. II is added that the officer has
been guilty of unjust and tyrannical
treatment Of enlisted men for which the
reviewing authority can see neither ex-
cuse nor paIliation.'
OF course. the information available at
the War Department does not disclose 10
what extent this officer was able TO de-
fend himself against the sentence Of dis
missal. Upon reference 10 his record. it
Is found that for ten years previous to
becoming a second lieutenant he served
as a private and noncommissioned officer
in the artillery arm. and he was a man.
by virtue OF his experience in the service,
wEo should have been among the last to
treat soldiers unfairly and with tyranny.
The fact that such an officer could swell
the record Of desertions and could cause
discomfort when others were trying 10
bring about other conditions makes II the
more remarkable that such an officer IS
considered as useful as the commander Of
soldiers and is kept in the army.
