crew and harassed by Spanish tor
pedo boats, he completed this perilous
task While working on the last of
the cables a Spanish ship opened fire
on, the Arias, and Aliens crew re-
vclted. At the point Of a pistol, he,
assisted by several other officers,
forced the crew to work until the
cable was cut In two places. At the
close Of the war, Colonel Allen restor-
ed the cables.
For the next three years he laid
telegraph lines in the Philippines and
kept communication from the interior
parts of the islands open with Manila.
Then he was ordered to Alaska to take
charge Of the Seattle and Alaska
cable.
Since becoming chief signal officer
Brig. General Allen has been In charge
OF military aviation. He was instru-
mental in inducing congress to make
the first appropriation for an army
aviation school. He purchased two
aeroplanes, designated five aviators,
and selected a site at College Park,
Maryland.
| Each year he has urged congress to
greatly increase the appropriation. He
has fostered the science and is secure
in the knowledge that when he retires
he will leave behind an aviation
branch of the signal corps which, al
though not as large as that of many
other nations, is considered by ex-
| perts to be probably the most perfect.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.--After a
life chock full of adventure and
achievement, honored In the service
of his government, Brigadier General
James Allen, chief signal officer of the
United States army, will on February
10 retire from active service and go
back to live the remainder Of his life
lat his boyhood home, LaPorte, In

General Allen has military record
of forty-one years which reads like a
Eovel. Himself Of modest bearing, it
lis in the official, routine, perfunctory
records of the war department, that
the full story OF his adventures may
be cleaned.
All the way from fighting on the old
Indian frontier down to handling the
Highly scientific questions of develop
ment Of military aviation and the
wireless, General Allen has been in
the forefront.
Allen graduated from West Point In
1872, and, In the cavalry branch, I'M
mediately saw service in the Indian
campaigns In the middle west In
| 1891, he was transferred to the signal
corps because of his unusual ability
in arranging means for military COM
munication.

this assertion and giving 1t support

and it may be question whether the
present methods should be changed
into policy of making them self
sustaining institutions or resorts for
profit. superintendent Parker's Hart
ford methods should be scrutinizeo
carefully and weighed well in the
balance before the adoption of them
by other cities.
Pertinent to the question comes the
following discussion of Mr.. Parker's
plan and some discussion of same in
late number OF the Christian Sci
enca Monitor which throws further
( light on the subject:
Mr.. Parker began his enterprise
five years ago by having the city con,
duet the refectory in one OF the parks
instead of granting concession for
II. With no thought of making a
profit, he improved the service, added
to the pay of the servants, employed
a manager and undertook to have a
place that would please the people
who resorted to the PARK. He accom-
plished this object and was surpris
ed to find that he had a profit OF
$1,000 for the city. Other expert
ments We're induced by the success Of
this one and out of them Mr.. Park

PR0TECTORATE
FOR NICARAGUA
BRYAN SPRINGS PLAN TO CON!
TRoL AFFAIRS OF LITTLE RE
PUBLIC.

Washington, d. c., July 2l.-A new
policy toward Nicaragua invoking
the virtual control Of the arairs Of
that republic by the United States
trust protectorate similar TO that now
exercised over Cuba was outlined
today by Secretary Bryan at a prl-
vate conference with members of the
senate fore en- relations committee.
Mr.. Bryan's proposal, coming as a
complete surprise to most of the
members Of the committee, has been
taken by many senator's as the first
announcement of general policy on
the mart of the administration to eX'
tend American control over the coun-
tries surrounding the Panama Canal
and to assure the stability Of Central
American republics and the dom,na-
ton by the United States of their re-
lations with other great powers.
Secretary Bryan went before the
COMMITTEES with a revised draft OF the
proposed Nicaraguan trtae gen.yo Elm
proposed Nicaraguan treaty netotiat-
ed first in the Taft administrations by
which the United states would secure
exclusive canal rights across Ni2ara-
qua and + new naval base in eN-
c.ange lar 100000 gild payment.
As new feature of the treaty, how
ever. the secretary of state proposed
that language similar. il not Identical
with the so-called "Platt amendment
relating to Cuba be injected in the
treaty giving the United States
sweeping control of Nicaraguan af
fairs. and the power to regulate her
foreign relations and her finances
Unde rthe proposed plan Nicaragua
would agree in substance:
Features Of Proposal.
"That war should not be declared
without the consent of the United
States.
That treaties would not be made
with foreign governments that woul'
tend to destroy her Independence o
that would give those government
a fcotholi in the republic.
THAT no public debt would be con
tracted beyond the ordinary re
sources of the government as indi
Gated by the ordinary revenues.
That the United States should hav
the right to intervene at any tim
to preserve Nicaraguan independence
or to protect life or property.
THAT the United States shoul
have the exclusive right 10 build
canal across Nicaragua, and shoul
have a 90 year lease to naval bas
in the bay of Fonsoca and to tn
Great Corn and Little Corn Islands /
the Caribbean, with the privilege c
renewing the lease. The Unite
States in return would pay Nicaragu
