When Portugal Was Great.

The announcement that Portugal Is
to be linked up by wireless" with "all
the Portuguese colonies" is a remind
er of the vanished greatness of what
was once the leading colonizing en-
pire in the world. From Lisbon in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
went out marines through the un
known and uncharted oceans to AZ
RIGA, India and the New World to the
west, and planted the flag of Portugal
In every corner of the globe But in
Africa alone has Portugal maintained
its hold of colonies of any magnitude.
In India are little bits of Portuguese
territory, Nova Goa, southeast of
Bombay, being the capital of all
Portuguese Oslonies east of Cape of
Good Hope; while as far east as China
the island of Macao, In the Canton
river, first colonized nearly 400 years
ago, still owns the sovereignty OF
the government at Lisbon.

GOOD TIMES keep
men OUT OF ARMY
Number of Recruits Falls Off
When Employment Is
Easy to Get.
SOME BLAME 7-YEAR TERM
Consent of Parents to Enlistment of
Minors Often Withheld Under
Misunderstanding.

New York, Aug. 4.-Major Richard
c. CroXton, U. S. A, in charge Of the
army recruiting district of which New
York City is the headquarters, is of
the opinion that the primary cause of
the heavy falling off in army enlist
ments, as these enlistments affect
grown men, during the last two years,
is due to the great prosperity of the
country and not to the enactment of
the seven-year enlistment period by
congress The general belief among
army officers has been and still is that
the falling off among grown-ups az
well as minors, which in some local..
ties has amounted to an enlistment
loss of so per cent, is almost Ientirely
due to the new seven-year service law.
In the Infantry Journal for July 2,
! the organ of the infantry arm of the
service, which is published by the
! United States Infantry association in
| Washington, ID. C., Major CroXton tells
why he thinks prosperity and not the
! long enlistment period is responsible
| for the present difficulties confronting
! the officers of the recruiting service.
an most localities" Major Croxton
| says, recruiting has fallen off stead
| lily during the last year or more, so
that the number of accepted appli-
cants is now only about one-half, and
this fact is very largely due to pros
porous times. Grown men with a
trade or developed business ability
have no difficulty in finding employ
ment at good wages. Minors who have
10 trade or business experience com
prise about so per cent of the accepted
applicants today, whereas year or
two ago this percentage was much
smaller, because the number of grown
+. men was so much more than now
PARENTS LOATH TO CONSENT.
Grown men who apply for enlist
ment take no exception to the seven
year contract. Minors who apply
sometimes shy at the period until the
terms are explained to them, but it is
fact that their parents, in fully 6(

for consent demur, and fully half the
refusals are said to be due to the sew
