CHINESE WOULD
GUT OFF QUEUES

PEkIN, July 23,-The Government
has just published particulars con-
corning the petition sent to the EN-
peror by the Chinese of the Pacific
coast asking permission to cut off
their queues. The petition was intrust-
ed to Prince Tao for presentation to
the throne during his recent trip to
Washington.
The queue was forced upon the Chi
nese as a badge of submission about
26O years ago by their Manchu conque-
rors, who affected this style of head.
dress. Later the Chinese really grew
proud of their appendage and elabo-
rated it with bright ribbons. However,
having become conversant with the
customs and manners of the "barbari-
ans on the other side of the ocean.
they have found little comfort and sat
isfdction in the queue.
The petition from the americana
ed Orientals reads i'm part

the well-being of man. and it is ex-
ceedingly inconvenient. China is now
speaking about having a parliament
and being counted among the civilized
nations and one of the easiest things
to do it to cutof the queue.
"The cutting off of the queue Will
give us the appearance of being civ
lized If we are not permitted to do
such thing, which is the easiest,
what is the use of doing something
that is harder? 1t is also the Gus
ton in China to wear long robes with
wide sleeves, making the men of
our nation look like the women of
other lands. The costume is like that
of the Annamese and the Koreans
two nations that have persisted.
Furthermore. our whole costume

tact The discarding of the queue
as regards China itself, would revive
the spirit of the Chinese, and viewed
by outsiders it would be looded upon
as a sure sign of an awakening"

THE OCEAN GRAVEYARD.

A dispatch from Halifax announces
that 2,O00-ton freighter, wrecked on
Sable Island, has been sold for junk
This was the last vessel to be wrecked
on the island, the date of that disas-
ter being January 6, 1904. For some
three centuries before that time there
is record of a shipwreck every six
months, on the average-from 1888
to 1899. One hundred and seventy
vessels were lost on the inhospitable
sands of this treacherous island. The
fact that there have been no wrecks
since 1904 is ascribeG to the general
introduction of the wireless apparatus
aboard ocean-going steamers.
Sable Island is a crescent shaped
sand bank about 25 miles in length
by IA miles in width, 104 miles
southeast of Cape Canso, Nova Scotia.
The sandhills, which nowhere rise to
a greater elevation than so feet above
the Atlantic, enclose a shallow lagoon
some eleven miles in length. The I'M
portance of the island as a menace to
mariners lies in the fact that it is in
the track of steamships passing the
direct course from England to New
York Since 1873 the Canadian gov
has erected three light
houses, two of which nave been swept
into the sea. The personnel of the

First Lieut.. William Louis Burch-

Gently tried by general court martial
at this station, by order of the COM
mandant, U. S. Naval Station, was
found guilty of "scandalous conduct
tending to the destruction of good

enants, U. S Marine Corps, and to re.
main there until he shall have lost a
total of fifty $50 numbers in his
grade"
The proceedings and findings, and
sentence as mitigated by the conven-
ing authority were approved this day.
Attention is called to the following re-
marks made by the converting author
ity on this trial:
Upon examination of the record
1t is noted among lighter irregulari-
ties that upon the plea of guilty

tion-equivalent to a plea of GUILTY
IN a lesser degree than charged"-the
president of the court did not warn the
accused in accordance with Art. 1749
U. 5. Navy Regulations, 1909. that he
thereby precluded himself from the
Dement'S of a regular defense. This
under certain conditions, might inva-
lidate the proceedings; but inasmuch
as such omission is constructiveIy
sanctioned by variation a. page "a.
-orms of Procedure 1910" and pos
sibly justified by the later ruling of
the court as recorded on page 10 of
the proceedings, directing the Judge
advocate to call such witnesses as
would have testified in the case ''as it
desires to have all the evidence bear
ing on this case that it is possible to
obtain" and especially as it does not
appear that the accused suffered by
such defect Che being given broad de-
1enslve latitude in an exhaustive trial.
the omission is not regarded as vital
or essentially damaging in it's issue.
Subject to these comments the pro-
ceedings, findings and sentence of the
general court martial in the foregoing
case of First Lieutenant William Louis
Burchfeld, U. S. Marine Corps, are
approved, but as unproductive idleness
can be beneficial to neither the indi-
vidual nor to the government, that
part of the sentence awarding suspen.
sion from duty for period of one
year without pay is remitted The
total of numbers to be lost in his grade
by First Lieutenant Burchfela is re-
duced to thirty go. The sentence, as
thus mitigated, will be carried into
effect On and from this date.
First Lieutenant William Louis
Burchfield will be released from arrest
and placed on duty at the foot of the
list of first lieutenants, United States
