TURKISH CAVALRY.


Gen. Lew Wallace, who was minister
to Turkey in 1sS1-1SS5 said in his au-
photography:
Il was once invited by the sultan to
go with him to a drill of his house
hold troops. The old Eleventh Indiana
could beat his infantry. but the pei.
Torrance Of his Circassian cavalry was
something extraordinary. Four COM
panies, magnificently mounted. were i'm
line. A bugle call. and the right COM
pany dashed through to the front. full
speed. Another CALL and there was a
beautiful feat. Each man reached
out with his right hand, caught the
rein close to the bit, pulled hard and
threw his horse fiat on his left side
dismOunting as he did so. Then on the
ground beside his horse, he began fir
ing as skirmisher. A third call, and
they rose up with their horses, re-
treating at full speed, reforming as
they went l tell you ii was worth see
ing.
The Turkish cavalry is admitted to
be the finest in all Europe. The cir
cassion bodyguard OF the sultan was
called by Russell Of the London Times
the most picturesque scoundrels in the
world They are blood thirsty and
treacherous, recklessly brave and ex-
ceedingly beautiful. Even among the
meanest OF them you see noble. well
set heads OF finest mold. testifying to
unmixed blood of the most perfect Of
living races"
Spectacular performances like that
described do not count for much in
war. In the Crimean war. which was
begun by Turkey and taken up by
Great Britain and France on her ac-
count, the allies did most of the fight
ing and Turkish cavalry did not cut
any figure. 1t was the British ,,heav-
les that routed the Russian cavalry
at Balaklava, and the light brigade
Of British cavalry that charged the
Russian batteries.

TIE JAPANESE NAVY.

In the race TO secure the most pow
erful navy Japan Is not to be dis
tanced II it can help it. In fact It ia
now planning on drawing up consid-
erably on the leaders and proposes
within the near future to have a
| fighting force by water which will
rank with that Of any nation. This
result is to be secured not through a
progressive and liberal policy extend
ing over a period Of years but by i'm
mediate action. The land Of the Mi
kado proposes to spend the sum of
'l75,OOO,OOo at once for naval construc-
ton.
This ambitious program, which APP
pears in the recent budget, puts a
burden Of nearly 81 per capita on the
people. This in a nation where the
women and children work the fields,
where wages run from 10 to so cents
a day. and the taxes. the price OF its
war with Russia and Of its present
great naval and military establish
ments, are a burden no American or
British worker would tolerate. And IT
Is TO be spent at once-not spread out
over years.
In this program provision is made
for seven uper-dreadnaughts OF 30,
900 tons each TO carry twelve to four
teen sixteen or fourteen-inch guns. and
two armorcd cruisers almost as power
ful. These vessels make back num-
bers Of the biggest ships row even
projected by any other nation. and

What this means II Is not dimcult to-
see Japan proposes to be supreme In
the east. IL will be master OF condi-
tons and destinies there. 1t win be
independent Of any other nation.
II Is likely, though. that Japan's
eyes are directed rather at China than
AZ any other nation. The Mikado is
among those who have fastened hum
cry eyes upon this oldest OF nations.
China or a slice OF IL would be of
greater value TO Japan than any other
territory that could be secured and the
uncertain conditions I'm that country
and the expectant attitude Of the great
nations OF the world make a division
by no means an imposslbility. II there

FOR MICHIGAN WOMEN.

The Michigan Federation Of wo-
mans Clubs has received a distinctive
honor in having Mrs Kate V. English
chosen as a member Of the general
federation Of school patrons COM
mittee by Mrs. Philip n. Moore presi-
dent Of the general federation.
Following is a list Of questions Mrs.
English wishes considered:
AT what points do the women OF
Michigan want most to see the laws
regarding women amended and
strengthened?
"2-Are Michigan women satisfied
with what the law now gives them in
control Of their own property?
"S-Are they satisfied with what the
law now gives them as their rightful
part Of property at their husbands
death?
"4-Do they wish the law to give
them greater power in making con-
tracts and engaging IN business on
their own accounts?
"5-Do they think the present laws
are sufficient in protecting the inter-
ests Of a wife when deserted by her
husband?
"6-Are they satisfied with the gem
eral legal status Of women"
The next legislature undoubtedly viii
see some Of these matters brought
forward.

Italy is much more dcnsely populated
than France, Austria or Germany, and
the density of her population has
steadily increased i'm spite of a net
loss through emigration of 800, 900
souls a year. The moderately fertile
soil of tally supports 115 inhabitants
per kilometer. whereas the well-tilled
soil of Germany needs to care for only
1914, and that Of France for only 73. To
maintain her constantly increasing
population Italy's wealth would need
To grow in the same proportion. But
there has been no such increase in her
wealth. The Journal des Economistes
of Paris gives the following statistics
as to the wealth per inhabitant in the
different European countries: England.
$500 francs; France, $3.50 francs; Ger
many 2S40 francs; Austria Hungary,
1860 francs, and Italy is at the bot
tom of the list with 1900 francs. APP

wages apportioned among families of
five persons living by their own work
is appears that a family of five persons

population and indicate why she seeks
territory beyond her borders.
1t may be doubted that Italy will
find Tripoli an Head colony. but all
travellers who have returned from there
are agreed that under Turkish rule
no colony can show it's possibilities.
Although the merchants who have mi
grated from Southern Italy and Sicily
to Tripoli have worked under the
handicap of Turkish indifference and
Arab Interference they find the present
lay trade of Tripoli far more lucrative
than that in which they were engaged
ut home. They point to the wonderful
progress of Tunis under French rule
rs an indication of what they could
accomplish in Tripoli with "A free hand.
Moreover, Tripol is the terminus Of
the three caravan routes along which
the products of Central Africa find
their way to the coast. The possibill-
ties of these routes might well slim
ulate the ambition of any European
country.
Tripoli, then, is a more tempting
prize than casual observation would
deduce, and Italy is i'm a more des-
perate economic situation than gener-
ally supposed These two factors TAX
en- together may help to explain why
she braves the dangers of her present
undertaking.-Bos Herald.

The suggestion Of Roosevelt author
