Russia, the connecting link between the east and the west, has naturally assimiated some of the characteristics of both. She has fallen into the political sloth that has marred the eastern em- pires with. corruption. intrigue and in- ternal class dissension, and has offset these drawbacks with emulated princ pes of Western progressiveness. The latter characteristic is exemplified in the events of the past week.
 For years the spirit of miitarism has been combated by the masses and for years Russia has depended upon her country-bred half-savage citizens for the best army material. This was all very we'll while the anti-militarists were in the minority. but with the advance of time socialism has spread It's creed of passive resistance to such an extent that the Czar has felt the need of a rein statement of military favor to strengthen his forces.
 To set about engendering this spirit, the government officials conceived the plan of emulating England and her Boy Scout movements. The campaign was quietly set afoot Circulars were printed and distributed broadcast. Memories of past military glory were invoked and every known chord of popular appeal struck by those in charge of the venture. The result has been far from satisfac-
 
 in vogue for some time, it was not until this week that Nicholas felt himself suf- hciently strong to risk an assemblage of a national character. It was decided, however. to risk the derision of the populace in an effort to stir a spirit of emulation among the children. and today troops and batallons of boys are form ing in St Petersburg.
 It seems. however that the marshall ing of these children was iil-advised for scarcely more than 5000 have answered the call-many of these from those half savage parts of the great empire where fighting is the only occupation.
 The Socialist press is jubilant, and even the government publications main tain an ominious silence. It Is safe to say that socialism is too firmly inculc ated in the masses to give way to the uni- forms and petty authority embodied in a membership among the so-called Play Troops

The legislation involved pro- hibition of children from the stage. cen- sorship of plays, licensing of individual theatrical performances as eircuses are lincensed, and similar laws
 Copyright laws-The association had se- cured in both England and Canada amend ments to the newly introduced copyright bills, giving real protection to plays. Neither of these bills embraced sHch pro- lection until the general counsel of the as sociation personally conferred with the governmental heads in each country. The Canadian bill would already have been enacted but for the reciprocity election. Both bills should be in force within the next two or three months.

 Some of our own managers are to an extent responsible for affairs in England. A number Of years ago some of our most prominent producers extended their field to London. This caused a competition previously unheard of for the services of English actors and a corresponding ad- vance in their salaries. The wage scale increased at least 100 per cent.
 At present the English activities of some Of our managers have been cur tailed, presumably owing to the difficulty of securing desirable stage attractions. The outcome is found in the fact that London swarms with actors seeking en- agreements in America. Thus American managers desiring the services of im- ported actors at cut-rate prices will have no difficulty in capturing all they want"

Berlin. August -(Specia1)-Berlin IS stewing in a sauce of heat. The Kaiser has taken to his yacht, the poorer classes to the roofs and the bourgeoise to the hills. The drought is the longest and the weather the hottest that has enveloped the city in T years.
 Everywhere the suffering is intense. Streets of molten asphalt, trees burnt to cinder and long rows of sunbaked, red-bricked dwelling houses radiating and intensifyng the caresses of the sun, bring the thermometer registrations up to the 100 mark and past daily. and make life In the city almost unbearable as a residence.
 Casualties among the poor are enor- nous. Not a day goes by without at least 0 score of prostrations and as many deaths reported. Business has fall en off 50 per cent, and the hustling Ger man capital has taken on the tone of ennui that makes the midday slesta of tropical towns a matter Of custom and means of elf-preservation.
 A crop failure seems imminent. Even the fertile valley of the Rhine has been stricken, and in the outlying districts government returns report damage to the extent of many millions of marks. The situation has reached a condition where the sluggish German department of the interior must act, If 1t would allay a huge loss of life and money.
 What action will be taken by the gov ernment is mater of conjecture, but that taken by the authorities of Berlin has been both prompt and effcacious. The city fathers have thrown open the fountains of the city to the poor. Rag ged urchins, unkempt workmen and wo- men nursing babies gather In huge crowds about these oases of comfort and drink or splash at will in the cooling water.
 The streets are flushed three times a day. The parks have been converted into lodging houses and police discipline has assumed never before noted elasticity that leave the poorer quarters nightly strewn with thousands whose tiny rooms are too hot for sleep.
 Added to these municipal measures are the efforts of various relief societies whose funds have been swollen by con- tributions from every class of society. These organizations, who work chiefly amongst the poor, are endeavoring 10 make life bearable for their charge by the distribution of milk food and direc- tions governing the hygienic arrangement of heat stricken home.

The phlegmatic German temperament lends itself little to the vagaries of the. jester, and when that phegmatism is ribbed with the spectacled importance of a German scientific society, the slightest deviation from that path of stupid pom derosity brings quick rebuke and speedy vengeance. German scientific reputation is weighty thing, even when error makes it ridiculous.
 A member of the Cassel Scientific Re- search society of Frankfort has felt the hand of both speedy vengeance and swift rebuke, for he has been expelled from the learned society, publicly rebuked and is now threatened with legal procedure all because his vein of humor prompted him to take advantage of his colleagues.
 It happened in this manner. A skull was recently found in the ancient grotto near Semen and the playful research so- oiety savant pronounced it to be hu- man skull of the prehistoric period.
 The find was forwarded to the eminent anthropologioal expert of the Univesity of Breslau, Professor Herman Kladtsch, who declared 1t to be the skull of a modern chmpanzee.
 The author of the joke was promptly and publicly rebused, expelled from the Society and threatened with legal pro- cedure for making his colleagues and German science look ridiculous.

WINFIELD scorr seHLEY


Admiral ". s. schley. who dropped /
dead in New York Monday, will be [
principally remembered by the Ameri- |
can people for his share in the San
tiago naval campaign of 1893 and the
controversy over It that followed.
SchIey commanded the squadron that
discovered cervera's feet in the har-
Dor of Santiago and held it there un-
til the main American force under
Sampson came up. Schley, tho an old
er and higher officer than Sampson,
was superseded by the latter. who was
virtually promoted over his head.
When cerverass ships made their
dash for freedom Sunday morning,
July 8, SchIey, with his flagship. the
cruiser Brooklyn. supported by the
batt1eships Texas. Iowa, Indiana and
Oregon, and a small converted cruiser,
were near the entrance. to the harbor.
Admiral Sampson, commander of the
fleet, on his flagship, the cruiser New
York, accompanied by another battle
ship. the Massachusetts, had gone to
the eastward. to communicate with the
American land forces, which temper
airy division of his enemies probably
caused the Spanish commander TO
make his dash for the open sea. The
than sufficient, and in less than two
hours the entire Spanish feet was
shattered and sunk
When the Spanish ships came out.
Schley's vessel, the Brooklyn, was
nearest the harbor entrance. and next
to the Brooklyn was the battleship
Texas. Both these ships steamed to
meet the enemy, but a few minutes
later the. Brooklyn turned and made a
loop that not only took her away from
= the Spanish vessels but very nearly
caused her to ram the Texas, which
with reversed screws barely succeeded
in checking her speed in time to avoid
collision that would almost surely
have turned the victory into defeat
A bitter controversy ragged over this
incident and finally terminated in a
court of inquiry. some of the findings
of which were set aside by President
Roosevelt in a decision, which wasn't
very decisive. The great majority OF
the American people sided with Schley
in the controversy. but most of the Of
f1cers and men who participated in the
battle condemned him, many. of them
charging him with downright coward
Ice.
There is nothing in the long and
support the charge of cowardice. The
Brooklyn's famous loop was an error
of Judgment, and 1t is probable that
1t was made by the captain of the
Brooklyn without consulting his SUI
perior officer, who was afterward too
magnanimous to lay the blame on any.
one.
Schley's life and naval career was
that of a brave and modest man. He
was midshipman at the outbreak of
the civil war, one of the old school
from which came Dewey, Evans, Sigs-
bee and Sampson. He was in COM
mand of the expedition that brought
back Greedy from the Arctic and per-
formed many other duties Of less note
During the controversy over the bat
tie of Santiago, it is not recorded that
he spoke any words of censure OF
criticism on any one, and accepted the
presidents decision as a naval officer
should, without a word of comment.
