HISTORIC SURRENDERS.
Bazaine Gave Up 600 Officers and
$4,000 Soldiers to Prussians.

In the story. of war there is no
chapter more thrilling than that
which tells how, a generation ago, a
comparative handful of Turks held
the village of Plevna for five months
against quarter of a million of Rus
sia's picked soldiery.
Again and again the Muscovites
hurled themselves against Osman
Digna's trenches and redoubts, to be
swept back again and again, leaving
thousands of slain behind them. And
it was only when hunger and dis
ease had his band of heroes in their
grip that the gallant Turkish leader
made his desperate and historic ef-
fort to hew his way through the
enemy's lines-a ''forlorn hope"
which ended, as it was bound to end,
in failure, says Tit-Bits.
But not until the Turks were sur
rounded by the Muscovites in over
whelming numbers and Osman him
self was seriously wounded, did the
white flag at last give the signal of
surrender. When, later, the van
quished hero was led before the Rus
sian Gar, carrying himself as proud
ly in defeat as in victory, Alexander,
with a cordial hand-grip, gave him
this generous greeting: "Sir, 1 con-
gratulate you on your fine defense.
1t was one of the most splendid feats
in the history of war;
The first Napoleon, after the
crowning disaster of Waterloo, find
ing escape from France impossible,
surrendered to Capt. Maitland, of the
Bellerophon, on July Is, 1915. AS
he stepped on board, his breast
ablaze with decorations, and escorted
by an imposing retinue of officers and
servants, it was almost with the air
of a conqueroi that he addressed
the captain: 'Sir, I come to place
myself under the protection of your
King and your laws
Much more abject was the down.
fall of his successor, the third Ma
poleon, that September. day in 1870
when he was compelled to resign,
both crown and sword Surrounded
in Sedan by an overwhelming host
of the enemy, $4,000 of his men dead
or taken prisoners, his army demor-
allied under a deluge of death from
500 guns, he realized that the end
had come. Then with the white flag
of defeat fluttering over his citadel,
he wrote to the Prussian King this
pathetic note:
"Brother-Not able to die at the
head of my troops, place my sword
at your majesty's feet.-Napoleon."
But France was not yet beaten.
Marshal Bazaine still hadalarge army
under his command; but he, too, was
in a perilous plight, for he was shut
up in Metz by German force as
great as his own. When sortie af-
ter sortie was repulsed with heavy
loss and he realized that escape was
impossible, he tried to save his army
by surrendering Metz. But to his
overtures Bismarck returned the
naughty answer: II occupy France
with more than a million men, and
make no peace with a marshal. The
surrender must be unconditional"
And on October 27 Bazaine ca
pitulated, and three marshals, 600
officers and $4,000 men laid down
their arms and became prisoners of
war. For Bazaine worse fate was
reserved; for he was later tried by
court-martial and sentenced to deg
radiation and death-a sentence
which was commuted to one of 20
years Imprisonment.

MANAGER REPLIES TO
CRITICISM OF HOTEL
ON CONVENTION BANQUET

Manager IT. B. Thiele of the Terri
torial Hotel Company today made the
following statement in answer to the
charge by Fred i Waldron that an
inadequate banquet was given the
civic convention by the Moana Hotel
last Tuesday night:
1.-THE criticism Of the banquet fur
nished to the delegates and visitors of
the civic convention at the Moana Ho-
tel came certainly IS a surprise, and
is, in my opinion, entirely unWarrant-
ed. The menu served was one select
ed by Mr.. Fred WaIdron from several
submitted to him soTle days prior to
the banquet, and was handed in by him
as the enc selected. with the full uI-
derstanding as to what the price per
plate. would be.
The menu arranged for was car
ried out in every detail and the serv-'
ice was admittedly good The hotels
company had, throughout the progress
dfttilD to1vent1on and prior to it.,
made such efftfts to be of aid and as,
sistance Ia every way that their good
will can hardly be questioned. Fihan-:
cial laid was given; the accommodate
tions which tie hotels could furnish
for convention purposes were placed
at the disposal of the committee, with
out charge the help of the hotel was
used and freely given, in all arrange
ments, without any charge whatso-
ever; special tates were made at all
hotels Tor the delegates, and every
thing was dOf1k 10 show the hearty co..
operation of the hotel Interests here.
I'm view Of saIl of this, it would APP
pear that even If something should
have gone aniss, which I deny to be
the case, an attack of the kind put
forth would hardly seem in place, and
it makes one wonder if the hammers
which was so recently inferred with
so much ceremony has not come to
life again and is again being used
against the local hotel management,
Is it has been so much in the past.

This activity .is directly traeeable tps the
opening Of the Panama Canal, a short time
hence, and to the expectation that preferential
rates will be given to American shipping using
the canal Other reasons, however, exist for
this expansion
One is that the overseas commerce of the Uni
ted States has been increasing at tremendous
rate. 1t is greater this year than it eyer has
been. 1t is q rich prize for which the CONNER

stantly contending Also there are great posi-
bilities opening up in other parts of the globe.

ably many hundreds of thousands of immigrants
will be distributed along our Pacific coast. The
reafrangement of the trade routes that will fol-
low will mean, Of course, greater facilities for
the Interchange of commodities and a lessening
in their cost of transportation, as well as de-
velopment of regions that hitherto have stood
still because they were comparatively difficult
of access. As England is the center of the
worlds shipHlilding, these varied influences
have been felt sooner and in a greater degree
than anywhere else.
Naturally, the price of new ships has adj

more now than it did three years ago. As a re-
suit foreign vessels today are selling at an adj
vance of about 20 per cent above the market.
