HYDE READY TO RETURN.
Cha m berlnin of New York Not
Afraid Of Charges.

st. Augustine. Fla. Jan. 4.-Charles H.
Hyde, chamberlain of New York City.
who has been missing from the city for
nearly fifty days. this evening boarded a
train in this city for New York. he hav-
ing decided to return and straighten out
matters there. Just as he was leaving
he made the first statement since his dis
appearance.
Il have not been we'll for some time,
said Hyde land was advised to take a
complete rest. There was not the slight
est indication of bank troubles when I
left New York. and l had not heard of
recent occurrences until Dan Smith, my
secretary's brother, overlook me on my
houseboat en- route to Palm Beach. AS
soon as ! learned of the failures, l left
the boat. and am now fastening home.
1t is impossible for me to dicuss any
thing now, as ! understand that charges
have been preferred against me. and I
must deal with them officially
Asked about the race track story.
which is not connected with his official
position, Mr.. Hyde said:
"Oh, that was so utterly false and un-
founded that I never bothered about it,
/ did not even know the people with
whom 1 was supposed to have dined. I
did not subscribe to any such fund for
my client or any one else, and every
newspaper man at Albany knew the rest
of il was untrue l am quite sure that
Senator Gardner never told such a false
hood
The Washington herald., 1911-01-15

RofHn Hood is the personihcation OF
everything fascinating in outlawry, so
much so that the story Of his adventures
has been told and retold SO often, both in
fiction and in song that it has become
difficult to sift the fiction from the fact.
for there is at least a ratio of ten to one
in favor Of the former. But that Robin
Hood actually existed there is little rea-
son to doubt, either in himself or In the
personaee of some other Englishman who
masoueraded under that romantic name.
Few questions in literary history have
given rise to greater diversity Of opinion
than that Of who was Robin Hood"'
Many writer's assign a historical origin
to the outlawed hero: others give him a
NEUROLOGICAL character: while others.
again, regard him as purely a creature Of
the popular imagination. At any event.
there is a lasting fascination in the ro-
nance attached to Robin. Probably the
conception that most of us have about the
outlaw Is founded upon or materially col
ored by his portraiture in Scott's IVAN
hoe
The quasi-historical account is, accord
ing to Stukely, that Robin Hood was the
son of william FitzOoth, Earl Of kyme.
in the twelfth century: that, having lost
or dissipated his property. he took to the
life of an outlaw. and with his merry men
Elected the time carelessly as they did
In the golden age that he was pious-
after his own fashion: lived free and
active life; was much beloved by the
common people and others who were in
distress; was in and out of favor with
the King. but always the latter with
sheriffs and clerical dignltaries; and fin-
ally at . good cid age was treacherousiy
put to death.

ARMY IN SAD PLIGHT
United States at the Mercy
of an Invading Force.
EQUIPMENT HELD INEFFICIENT
Representative McI.achlan. Of Cali
fOrnia. During Debate On Army
Appropriation Bill, Presents Opin-
ions of +. l.. HuidekOper, Military
Critic of International Fame.

That the United States. with its made
quate army, with no reserve force and
| inefficient equipment is wholly incapable
of facing invaders and of withstanding
any sustained attack by foreign army
is the opinion of Frederic Louis Huide-
koper. a disinterested military critic Of
international fame, who is making his
home in Washington.
This opinion was presented by Repre-
sentative James McLachlan, of Califor-
mia, during the debate in the House yes
terday on the army appropriation bill.
That the American people should know
that their army is in lamentable state,
and that our means of defense. except the
navy. are virtually nil was the key
note of Mr.. Huidekoper's statement.
The recent report of the Secretary of
War was made in consequence of a reso-
luton introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative McLachlan, of California 1t
disclosed a condition of affairs So dis
graceful that it has been suppressed un-
der the excuse that it was 'confiden-
tiaL'
MIR. Dickinson's report probably did
not contain single thing that is not
known to well-nformed military men
both in the United States and all over
the world"
/ scores Pension List.
The opinion of Mr.. Huidekopeer further
quotes President Taft as saying that ma
tions are beginning to be threatened with
bankruptcy by their tremendous arma-
ments. but that the United States being
confronted by the existing conditions,
must maintain its military and naval
strength
The opinion further states that until
the last few years our annual expendi-
lures for pensions exceeded what it cost
to maintain the German army. and that
the size of our present pension list is
disgrace to any civilized nation. and this
condition of affairs will continue until
the name of every pensioner is published
once month in the local newspapers Of
the city. town, or village where he lives.
Public opinion will do the rest.
Among other things. Mr. Huidekoper
contends that the American army to-day
has only enough infantry ammunition for
a single engagement. and that the field
artillery does not possess enough manu-
factured ammunition to fight as much as
one battle.
Among other statements of Mr.. Huide-
koper's are the following:
War used to last 100 years or more
Now it lasts one year Or less. and prepa-
rationS must be made beforehand.
THE location of army posts is most
defective. The War Department has
tried to abandon posts worthless from a
military standpoint. but has been COM
PEELED to countermand the order, owing
to political influence.
Never in our history have we been
prepared for war. a good business man
cannot be made in Il day or a month;
neither can soldier.

to have good army rather than a large
one. To-day We have neither
