of the cadets and historical exercises
will be features of the programmes. AS
a permanent memorial of the centen-
NAL the war department has issued q
Golden book of the graduates. These
include five marshals of France, 1,IOO
generals and about 80, 900 officers of
all ranks. The records Of these cover
practically The whole feld of French
military glory.
st. Cyr usually has from 700 to 500
pupils and graduates about 400 officers
annually. 1t is now run on lines re-
sembling those of the United States
military academy at West Point, but
in it's early days the training was rough
and the discipline severe. Duels were
frequent and il is on record that in the
first five a. fourteen lads were kilt
ed and more than loo wounded in per-
sona1 encounters.
Napoleon I. gave the school the flag
which is still carried on state occasions
at the head of the battalion. The in

TAFT BY RECLAMATION.
This is the Latest Prediction by
His Managers.
Especial to THE ARGUs.)

Washington, June 6-The utmost
confidence is expressed at Taft head
quarters today by Frank Hitchcock
and other Taft managers, and the
former is out in a published statement
that Taft will probably be nominated
by acclamation, his name alone being
presented to the Convention.
Allies here to center on some other
candidate likely to defeat the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Taft are greatly dis
heartened, but some of them still stick
to the hope thai Roosevelt adherents
may stampede the convention and he
be nominated despite his repeated de-
tions accept a third term.

Washington, June ga careful poll
of Senators and representatives in a
conference with President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft, shows hat Gov.
Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts,, has
little show for second place on the Ma
tional ticket, and hat despite the
widely circulated reports of GOODNESS
between the President and Gov.
Hughes, of New York, administration
ticket makers would like Hughes on
the Taft ticket. They are opposed to
Fairbanks getting the denomination
by default. The Dollavar boom is
gaining strength daily, however, and
he may win.

THE THAW AFFAIR.

The announcement that has been
looked for for months has come
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has brought suit
for divorce from her husband.
AT the time of the marriage Harry
K. Thaw was lunatic and of unsound
mind and was incapable of making a
valid contract and incapable of con-
tracing marriage" This is the Ian
guage of the petition now made by
the woman for whom Thaw became a
murderer.
The sentimentalists who raved OF
the wifely devotion of Evelyn in lay.
ing bare a sin-scarred soul to save
the man she loved from the electric
chair as they viewed the hitherto I'M
published poses" Of the angel-faced
child in the yellow press will no doubt
find many reasons for excusing this
latest move of the former actress.
They will have it that she was
bounded by, his mother and his family
until she could stand it no longer, or
that she was threatened or bullied
into seeking a separation. Perhaps
they are right, but there is more rea-
son to believe that the separation
was brought about only through a
cash consideration and because
Evelyn found she no longer had free
access to the Thaw money barrel
Whatever brought about the move
for the annulment of the marriage
however, her plea that Thaw was a
lunatic and incapable of contracting a
marriage at the time of their wedding
does not place her in very enviable
light.
If Thaw was lunatic Evelyn had
ample time to find it out while on that
extended trip to Europe with him be-
fore their marriage.
Thaw seems to be the one that is
drawing all the blanks in this life's
lottery.
