The author is L. ]. Beeston, formerly
secretary to Max Pemberton., who has
been contributing to English magazines

is little known to the American reading

incident of the Franco-Prussian war,
wherein the hero, posing as an American
newspaper correspondent, took part in
one OF the strangest and most tragic
wherein the entire body of five Prussian
officers was wiped out by one because
of an outrage committed on a count
home by the commander. And all these
tragic events took place in accordance
with an announcement given to the pro-

spite every precaution that the skilled
and fearless officers could take. The eli

Though he greatly appreciated the al

ST. PETERSBURG. March 9, 1911.
A declaration on the subject of the uni
versity troubles has been published In the
Moscow papers over the signatures of
sixty-hve Of the most influential merchants
and manufacturers. The signatories de-
clare that they cannot look on in silence
while the universities are being ruined.
They condemn the students strikes and
the methods OF chemical obstruction"
employed by a few irresponsible fanatics,
but they consider the governments re-
pressive measures wholly unjustified.
They point out that the revolutionary
period among the students is past, and
that great majority Of them are eager
for study. and had until recently no
thought Of active protest. The signatories
consider the present excitement among
the students to be the result of govern
nient measures. and strongly object to at
tempts being made to restore order by the
use of physical force. The government
must not. they assert, imagine that in this
matter 1t has the moral support of the
country.
