SPANISH SOLDIERS LOT
CLASSED AS HARDEST

The lot of the Spanish soldier. even in
times of peace. is far from enviable. for
his food. lodging and clothing are of
the poorest, says the London Chronicle.
AS regards barracks, the Spanish army
is certainly the worst equipped in
Europe. and this fact was practically
admitted by Senior Sagasta when he was
premier.
A deputation waited on him TO pro-
test against the unfair manner in which
the law as to the obligatory army serv-
ice was enforced, so that any one with
$3.50 to spare can evade this duty
The premier admitted that the prin-
ciple of redemption from military serv-
ice was illegal. and that, strictly speak
ing. all healthy male adults should
serve, but, he added the majority of
our barracks are in such bad condition
that we can not expect the sons of re-
spectacle parents to live in them.

This mornings game between the fac

interest among the students, not only
because 1t was for the purpose Of
raising funds for the Stanford union

numerals as 70. 'S3 and '94 upon their
breasts. The chief amusement was de-

the students when sliding TO bases.
