Statue of Liberty Grafters

If the visitors who paid good money to
soldier for the privilege of climbing up the
steps of the statue of Liberty had only known
about the sixty-second article of war they
never would have graduated from the dead

doomed to penal servitude for their specula-

According 10 the army orders, Axel T.
Holm, first-class private of G company, sig

same grade and command, organized syndi
cate for the exploitation of the French evil
dence of friendship for America which, fol.

truth was he couldn't help himself.
O'Baldwin eyed him critically. Fall Quit"

and that's where he made the mistake of his
life.
That apparently simple answer proved con-
clusively to the sergeants mind that he had
an ex-regular before him, for all the national
guardsmen would have answered Company

would speak of his command as Company d"

There are nearly half million horses and
motor vehicles Of all kinds In Paris today, with
10000 hand carts and 5000 wheelbarrows. In
1909 $3.50 accidents were caused In the Paris
streets by 81 1868 vehicles. These statistics are
contained In a report drawn up by M. Emile

council on the incumberment Of the Paris

GERS should be men educated to the pro-
fession of soldier. There seems to be
a pretty general feeling, one hard for
the authorities to account for by the
way, that every man is born soldier
and that the military profession Is the
only one for which no special training
Is required. Gen. Winfield Scott, at the
close of the Mexican war, said that IL 1t

longed for years. This praise of the In
