sum Of s3i 142.97G.37 When President
Mckinley decided to take up the white
mans burden and declare war against
Spain the entire regular army of the
United States numbered 26RD meI.
The government has already granted PEN
sionS to rs, 100 Cuban and Philippine vet
Grams. During period of more than
sixty years the government has paid n
total OF only $40, 213 1886 for the support or
the veterans of the Mexican war. The
Spanish pensions have only begun: there
are more than 5000 claims pending, and
it is evident that thousands upon thou
sands of claims will be urged In annually
increasing numbers
Only one real battle was fought In the
Cuban campaign-at Santiago-and that
was only d little siSirmish. But Mckin-
ley's first call was for l2j.0O1 volunteers
and his second call was for 1900. The
regular army was increased to about 1oo.-
coo men. The greater number OF the
participants were very young men. and
they were chiefly occupied i'm drilling at
mobilization camps. The campaign was
regarded in the light of pleasant diver
sion but here are the facts as to the PEN
sions alreadN granted. and, fnasmuch as
more than fSOO Mexican veterans are
still on the pension rolls. the government
will undoubtedly be required. on the pres
ent ba sis of granting Spanish pensions, TO
paw for the next sixty years total for
the Philippine venture which will make
the military occupation cost of $161 .000.0O0
seem an unconsidered trifie in comparison.

The murderer was sentenced to death,
but was pardoned, condemned to twenty
years imprisonment and was serving his
sentence in the prison at Stanislau
The other morning the murderer's cell
was found TO be empty. The door and
windows were intact, SO there is doubt
that Siczinski escaped by the connivance
of the warder who was on night duty.
The latter has been placed under arrest
Two warders have disappeared. and 1t
is believed that they escaped with Siczin-
ski. His helpers must have obtained CT
william clothes for him, otherwise It
would have been impossible for him to
pass the numerous courtyards of the pris-
on. 1t is reported that this sensational
escape was planned long beforehand, and
that a sum of 100000 kIonea Was co .lectea
among the Ruthenian people for the pur-
pose of freeing the murderer. No trace
of the escaped criminal has been found.

Rupture-as explained in our free hook

And you CAN get EXACTLY that kind Of

CHAIN OF A|RSH|PS
ON GERMAN FRONTIER

Enemies on Both Land
and Sea.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


BERLIN, November "a. 1911.
Within the next year or two Ger
many's frontiers will be guarded by an
unbroken chain of aerial sentinels. The
German war Office, which ever since the
advent of the aeroplane has devoted con-
sistent and careful study to the utiliza-
ton of the new arm, has decided that.
beginning with the eastern and western
borders. every fortified point on the coun-
trys frontiers shall be provided with its
own detachment of aerial scouts, who
soaring aloft, will keep constant guard
over the nations outposts.
To this end the military aviation corps.
now centered at Doberitz. is at the be-
ginning of next year to be decentralized
and stationed in detachments at every
strategic point Special sheds. accommo-
dating six to twelve aeroplanes. in &C
cordance with the Importance of the po-
sit on, will be erected and provided with
a permanent staff of certified military
pilots and observers.

TEST OF CAST IRON TURRET.
Question of Strength and Utility I'm
der Investigation.

Whether a turret Of cast iron OF
great thickness is cheaper and stronger
than the present light turret OF rolled
o- pressed steel is a question which the
army fertilization board IL about to In
vestigate, and an allotment OF money
has been made to purchase some cast iron
plates.
These plates are now made by secret
process of a degree Of hardness superior to
the best tool steel. and If a rea sonable
degree of toughness can be combined with
that quality it would seem that the ideal
armor plate is in sight. II the experi-
ments prove successful and are concluded
in time il is possible that cast iron may
be used in the defensive works along the
Panama canal.

MOVES TO ABROCATE
TREATY WITH RUSSIA
Chairman SuIzer of Foreign
Affairs Committee Talks
of His Plans.

Representative Sulzer Of New York,
chairman of the House committee on for
eign affairs. today introduced joint
resolution providing for the termination
of the treaty of 1892 between the United
States and Russia on the ground that the
latter country persistently violates the
provisions of the treaty by refusal to
recognize American passports issued to
American Jews.
Russia is violating the treaty every
day. said Mr.. Sulzer, land the only
remedy. it seems to me. is to abrogate.'
Mr.. Sulzer also said he was interested
in several other matters of great impor-
lance on which he would urge action at
this session.
For a Parcels Post.
Among these" he said, sis my bill
for a general parcels post. This bill is
demanded by the people and similar stat
utes are on the books of almost all the
civilized countries of the world.
Il also will demand action on my bill
to restore the merchant marine and to
enact reciprocal trade agreements with
our sister republics in Central and South
America With a law on our statute
books to revive our languishing ship
upon millions Of trade every year that
We are losing today. This is one of the
big questions before Congress.
II shall press for immediate considera-
ton my bill to create a department of
labor, with the secretary having a seat
In the cabinet. This measure meets with
the approval of the business people and
the workingmen alike, and its enact
ment will help to solve many of the
pressing problems involving capital and
labor.
Direct Election of Senators.
This session of Congress VIII pass
my resolution. which l have advocated
for years to elect United States senators
by the direct vote of the people. This
resolution Is now i'll conference, and
hope the corferees Will agree 1T IN early
date and the resolution become a law.
THE democrats during this session will
do all they can to enact equitable tariff
laws and reciprocal trade agreements
with the view of cheapening the necessi-
ties of life lessening oppressive taxation
and reducing the burdens of government
to minimum"

double advantage, for while the aerial
scouts will be able to give early warning

The, cost of providing the sheds and

will be asked for in the military budget
which is to come before the new reich
stag. The military flying schools at
Doberitz will continue to be the training
ground for young officers detailed for
aer' al work, who Immediately on making
themselves efficient as airmen will be
dispatched with their machines to their
future posts on the frontier. At the pres
ent moment Germany has over seventy
fully certificated military aerial pilots.

FRAUD CHARGE VALID
Government Is Victorious in
Alaskan Coal Cases.
SUPREME COURT IN RULING
Upholds Conspiracy Indictments
Against Charles F. Munday
and A. w. Shiels.

The government today won sweeping
victory in its, campaign against Alaskan
coal land frauds when the Supreme
Court of the United States decided tina,
a person or association is limited to one
coal land entry in Alaska, Accordingly
the court held valid the Indictment charg-
ing Charles F. -Nunday and Archie w.
Shiels with land Fraud conspiracy.
The decision today not only means that
Munday and Shells must proceed with
their trial for alleged conspiracy to de-
fraud the government out of Alaskan
coal lands valued at $4,000 900. but that
similar indictments at Spokane. Tacoma
Detroit and Chicago will be pressed.
The substance of the decision was
that it is just as much a fraud in
Alaska as in the states to hire dummy
entrymen to take up coal lands.
Charged Fraud in Entries.
Munday and ShieIs were indicted.
along with others, on charges of con-
spiracy to defraud the government by
seeking to procure for the Alaska De-
velopment Company and the Pacific
Coal and Oil Company some 5000 acres
of Alaskan coal land 1t was allesed
that some forty persons, each being
qualified to make an entry of coal land
if he was making it for himself, were
induced to make entries. ostensibly for
themselves, but in fact as the agents
of and for the use of the two corpora
tons. with the result of securing to
the corporations much more coal land
than any two persons or associations
of persons were entitled to get by
entry under the law.
The indictments were brought in the
United States circuit court for western
Washington. and it was there that the
judge quashed the indictment. on the
ground that a person or association
was not limited to one entry of coal
lands in Alaska. The government
brought the judges action to the Su-
preme Court for review.
