Sir Ernest ShacBleton, the famous

Times, before leaving here to 7ay for
New York. He IS TO deliver a series
Of lectures TO repay friends who
financed his south polar trip
Sir Ernest says he intends TO male
another dash for the South Pole next
year. From a geographical standpoint
hts trip. when ne got further south by
200 miles than ever before, was a
great success. He discovered signs Of
coal and other valuable minerals

LORD KITCHENER ON THE
WEST POINT CADETS.

Lord Kitchener, who IL visiting
America as a private citizen, has been
at West Point. He sat at the edge Of
the historic parade grounds and saw
the cadet corps drill and undergo in
spection- According to the accounts h.
was fascinated and pleased by the
cloc1Iike movements Of the lines Of
young soldiers, with their gray uni
forms and white enameIed shoulder
cross belts, marching with the pre-
CisiOn Of machines and handling them
selves and their wes Pons with that
faultless unison that comes of endless
hsmmering at the manual OF arms and
the foot movements through many
months OF instruction under the eyes
Of relentless driIImasters.
Tt was not TO be expected that the
taciturn hero Of Khartoum would
grow volubIe IN his praise, but it Is
calculated TO warm the cookies OF an
American heart to learn that he made
this comment on the cadet corps:
The smaTtest body Of young men
L have seen"
Coming from the foremost soldier in
the British army, a man Of lifelong
experience IN barracks and n the field,
a student OF the art Of var who Is
familiar with the armies OF the world
a disciplinarian who is rePuted TO
order his command with an iron dis
cipline, this Is praise Of a sort that
not merely West Pointers but every
American soldier and every person In
terested in the welfare Of the Amer
can army should appreciate It is not
the first time praise has been given the
West Point cadet corps By competent
critics, but It Is not often that Il
emanates from q soldier OF Kitcheners
standing
Il is with reason that Americans.
looking back over the list Of the soldiers
who have been graduated from Wesc
Point, thinking OF Grant and Lee and
Sherman and Jackson, Of Sheridan and
Pickett, and an almost endless number
OF others worthy Of highest honor, feel
a just pride IN q military academy that
ranks with the finest IN the world
The experience Of the civil war proved
that IN West Point the United States
has an institution certain to be
source Of inestimable strength IN a
time when great armies have to take
the field Some say It breeds a mill
tary aristocracy, but this is open 70
dispute The Woodworking, conscien-
tious army officer, with q just pride II
his profession, is pretty likely, at bot
tom, to BE- about ike the average
patriotic American citizen Necessarily,
he Is possessed OF the esprit de corps
Of the service. The country cannot
well have too many men trained in the
hard school Of West Point, and it is a
strange thing that there should be at
this time, as there has been for some
time past, large number Of vacancies
for which no applications are received

BANKERS OF THE COUNTRY
FULL OF OPTIMISM.

Interviews obtained from leading
bankers from a number Of sections OF
the country, while they were assembled
in Washington to attend the annual
banquet Of the bankers Of the District,
indicate that they look on the business
and financial situation with the utmost
optimism.
Almost unanimously, they say that
business is better than normal They
believe a great tide Of prosperity is
setting in and are not aPprehensive
over anything IN the legislative situa-
zion or IN the prosecutions Of the trust,
which are under way OF are proposes
DIV the Administration
One fact generally emphasized BY the
bankers, as an unansweTable Indication
Of prosperity. Is the increased gross
earnings Of the railroads. Net earn
ings, It Is pointed out. can be Increased
by economics, but when gross income
increases 1t means bigger tonnage, and
bigger tonnage can mean nothing but
bigger volume Of business.
Former Secretary OF the Treasury
Leslie N Shaw says the outlook was
never brighter and that present condi-
lions are above normal, so far as activ-
ity is concerned
One of the interesting phases OF the
comment Is the optimistic tone concern
ing Southern business Maryland and
Virginia bankers especially emphasize
the fact that business IN the South Is
rapidly expanding. that new money Is
coming IN and that there are many in
diostions Of great Development The
feeling Is that the South Is going TO
have an especially large share in the
period Of prosperity which Is believed 70
lie Just ahead
The whole tenor Of expressions from
the bankers Is such as TO give salts
faction 70 the business community
here and elsewhere Il IL worthy OF
note that the bankers have not relent-
ed N their opposition 70 postal savings
legislation. and that there Is little en-
thusiasm shown for a central bank. In
fact, a strong disposition 20 fear such
