eighteenth century.
The governor had made himself some

the regimental band TO attend a ball at
his residence, but the colonel demurred.
The general insisted. limiting at his milf

colonel thereupon sent the men. but not

officers Of each regiment practically
maintained their music band themselves,
so that the governor had no option but
TO submit 10 the rebuff OF silence.

admiral, who was slain on the night

that he did so because he was indirect

The descent. however, is direct enough.
II dates from the eldest daughter Of the
famous admiral. Louise de Colligny. who.
having lost her first husband in that ter
rible night. married William the Silent
OF the Netherlands, who likewise was
murdered almost IN her very arms.

One pleasing Innovation noted is that
all cabins are located on the upper

staterooms, each fronting on the deck.
There Is not an inside cabin in the
ship. One large room on the port
side is fitted with brass beds and has
an adjoining bath. The social hall Is
located at the forward end of this

According to Washington

According to Washington dis
patches in the mainland papers, that
secret report by Secretary Dickin-
son contained information that has
been published broadcast and is ac-
cepted as generally known through
out the world. The excitement was
caused solely on account of the Sec
rotary of War having marked his
document confidential. Whether he
did this from habit or for its stirring
effect is what gives rise to the only
serious difference of opinion.

TAFT ON our PREPAREDNESS.

What the President thinks of it Is
usually one of the last words in any
matter that stirs the nation to ex-
element whether temporary or long
sustained.
Consequently President Taft's re-
marks at the time OF the furry in
Congress over the suppression of the
Dickinson secret report are read with
especial interest at home and abroad.
His first comment was in the course
Of public speech, brief sketch of
which was published in the Bulle-
tin cable report.
In his opening paragraph Mr.. Taft
gave voice to sentiments that are
peculiarly Taftonian. The President
seems to have streak of pessimism
and devil-take -hindmost in him
that is decidedly unlike his predeces-
sor and hardly what the people ex-
pect from the leader OF the nation.
| For instance, he introduced his
comments on the so-called war scare
with the following, that winds up
with sort of can't-be-helped tone in
stead of the ringing advice that II
ought to be. The President said:
"The people of this country
| will never consent to the main
tenance of standing army which
military experts will pronounce
sufficiently large to cope in bat
tie with the standing armies Of
the great powers should they get
by our navy around our harbor
defenses and descend upon our
coast. If this leaves us in a po-
sition of helplessness, then so be
IT, For those who understand the
popular will in this country
know that 1t cannot be other
wise"
There Is a note of fatalism In tn,
last two sentences that Is not pleas
ant II sounds too much like the bus
| iiitHS man WIZ his hO tiiiiV ioi pun
tics and so makes the best of what h
thinks is bad situation but will no

Other than these few phrases how
ever there is confidence enough I
suit everyone and an ample amour
of sensible suggestion for Congress
and the people. Continuing. tn
: President is quoted as follows:
