COULDN'T UNIFORM TROOPS.
Unfortunate Contingency Should
War Call for Large Army.

Should war be imminent and the Or
ganiZation of a large army necessary
there would be absolutely no modern
clothing available or even in sight. 1t
would take months to weave enough cloth
for 100000 men. and with the rapidity
with which modern events Usually de-
velop such time of preparation would be
out of the question"
So declares Gen William {. Duvall of
the general staff of the army in a COM
munication sent to Congress- in which he
urges an appropriation of $4,000. 900 to
create a reserve supply of clothing for
the army. In the communication the
general sounds note of emergency
Congress is urged to appropriate for the
fiscal year $3.50. 1876 the amount asked
for by the Secretary of War. I'm addi-
ton to this appropriation continues Gen.
Duvall. lit is thought the attention of
Congress might very properly be invited
to the urgent necessity of providing some
thing in the way of reserve supply of
clothing for an expansion of the army
that would Immediately occur in a time
of war or preparation for war"
That the clothing is asked for a war
emergency and not for a time of peace is
made evident by the fact that Gen. Du-
vail recommends the purchase of mate-
rial which would be as colorless as pos
sible. He says the United States could
safely proceed with the olive drab and
khaki under the belief that sufficient
degree of invisibility has been attained,
and continues:
Having, therefore, adopted this sys-
Congress should be reminded that those
colors or kinds of cloth are not found in
the general market. and that they have
to be specially made for the army"

that end will address the women on some
topic relating to the home and mother
hood.
THE Secretary of State drafted our

FROM PRISON TO RICHES.
italian Convict Inherits a Fine
Estate.
,pecial Cablerram TO The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
COMO, January 14.-After spending half
his life in prison under police super
vision, the convict Gerolamo Pasquale.
at the age of forty-nine. now finds him.
self through the death of an aunt, the
owner of great fortune and the pro-
prietor of villas at Como and at Grave
dono.
Pasquale was born in Milan and came
into the hands of the police at an early
age. He was frequently arrested and got
his last sentence, one of four years i'm
'prisonment in 1906 While he was work
ing in the prison colony on the island OF
Lampedusa in April news came of the
death of his aunt, Giuseppina Pontiggia.
to whom it was found he was direct
heir The woman died intestate, and
Pasquale, though he was her pet aversion,
inherited the estate after other relatives
had tried in vain to prevent it.
Pasquale has been released and will not
have to finish his term, which ordinarily
would not be ended until 1910. He has
married a widow with one son, and
passed the first days after his marriage
luxuriousN in Como. Soon, however he
became homesick for Lampedusa where
he returned and passed the greater part
of his honeymoon in sight of the place
where he had toiled as convict.
When he received the money one of his
first actions was to send to Lampedusa
great clock, which chimed the hours.
The prisoners. he says. found almost un-
bearable on occasions the dark, unbroken
silence of the nights of captivity, and
would have been greatly relieved If they
could have known how many hours had
yet to pass before daylight. His plans
for the future are modest. He intends,
he says to live on the revenue of his es-
tateS an Italian gentleman.
