which has induced many youths Of the
educated classes to join the army and
has provided an increased number Of
cultivated military men to serve in
case Of war. Mr.. Garrison complains
that youths of the upper class and the
highly educated class avoid military
service. To the present long period
of military service these classes can
not be reconciled, but to the service of
three years or one and half years
the students might submit and at it's
close return to their studies. Then
men with military education might be
drafted either into the reserves or the
state militia. This, as the specialist
knows, is the capital point of the one
years service, and Garrison's proposal
is interesting because it shows that
Americans are not disinclined to take
a leaf from the book of not much over
loved Germany. The war minister has
declared to many prominent men that
under the above conditions he would
be glad to give his son years service
in the army. Price Collier, the au-
thor, said the same thing. He went
still further and declared he would
gladly, if it were possible. give his son
a years service in the German army.
If only for the training he would re-
ceive thereby. Literary Digest.

a question of the fault in the present

OUR PECULIAR MILITARY POLICY.
Our government is antimilitarists,
our boys will not offer themselves as
recruits, it is with difficulty that con-
gress is induced to make a naval APP
preparation, and rank political favor
itism prevails among the naval and
military administration, declares the
Kreuzzeitung (Berlin) This paper
is conservative in politics, and ortho-
dox to the core; and just as it riddles
all heresies without mercy, it also
finds the fatal flaws in every military
system outside of Germany. It's mill
tary editor, has chosen the moment
when our forces are almost on the
eve of arming for the field to point out
some of the curious features" in our
administration. To quote his essay:
in the present Democratic cabinet
of the United States the offices of
Secretary of War and Secretary of the
Navy are by no means enviable incum-
benches. These gentlemen may do
their uttermost for the development
of the army and fleet, but the prevail
ing spirit of the ministry-from the
president downward-is decidedly an
timilitaristic. Congress will appro-
pirate only the barest necessities for
military and naval needs, and even
this amount is granted with sour
face. In each regular session less and
less is being appropriated for building
up complete fleet. The strength of
the standing army is only 10000, al !
though the president has the right to
maintain the military force at a max
imum of 100000; but as long as no
foreign war is imminent the tendency
has been to reduce instead of raising
he strength of the military forces"
This writer proceeds to give the rea-
sons why the fleet and army of the
United States are SO comparatively
weak in numbers. OF recruiting he
ellis us:
in both army and navy it is with
he greatest difficulty that the requi-
site number of recruits is procurable.
The trade of last year was good, and
IN New England a shortage of labor
prevailed. Under these circumstances
recruiting was poor business. The
young lads laughingly said: Uncle
Sam must offer soldiers higher pay if
he wants us to swallow the bait I'm
der these circumstances the secretary
Of war suggested that it would be adj
to change the terms of mil
ltary service from five to three years.
This was diminution which would
deprive recruits of the last two most
years of experience, but Mr..
Garrison thought it would bring more
men to the colors. 1t might even end
in introducing an arrangement SINH
lar to our one years volunteer service

just twice the profit that postoffice Of
ficials had expected. This will be in
teresting news to the railroads, which
contend that they are entitled to extra
remuneration for carrying the mails
on account Of the operation of the
new service, and expect congress to
give heed to their demands at the COM
ing regular session. The Times learns
from reliable quarter" that, even
assuming that the contention of the
railroads was correct, there still
would have been good margin Of pro-
fit at the end of the calendar year
1913 after the payment of extra re-
muneration to the roads. If parcel
post adjustment were made along the
lines suggested by some of the rail-
roads, probably not more than $10,-
100000 of this $3O,OO0,0OO would be
due to the railroads as extra pay. The
total income from the parcel post for
1913 will be around $S0,000,0OO."
If this is the case, perhaps the pub
lie will benefit as we'll as the rail-
ways. The New York Press sees no
reason why the parcel post should be
operated at profit. And it remarks.
ut is not going to be necessary to
impose unreasonably low rates on the
railroads or excessively high ones on

Before long Edward Ballot seized
the crown and the child, Bruce, was
forced to leave his throne, but Ballot,
not wanting to offend the king OF
England, offered to take tho child

It was hardly regarded in the light

But the child Joan refused and
went into exile with her little hus-
band In France. After many misfor-

little did he appreciate the devotion
of his queen Joan. He preferred a
Catherine Mortimer. whom he had
met In London, to the queenly Joan.

Mr.. Brewer accumula led what was
In his day very large fortune. He
retired to a beautiful country place
after his long service with the In
man company. Shortly after the
Civil War closed Mr. Brewer visited
Washington with two or three promi-
nent New York politicians. For Con-
gress he had the greatest generation
possible, and he regarded the dis
tinguished public men of that time,
those who could speak well,
with sort of awe.
After his return to New York he
narrated the following incident:
IT went into the gallery of the
Senate with my friends and I was
pleased to find that a senator was
speaking, who, they told me, would
have been President of the United
States II Vice-President Johnson had
been assassinated, according to the
plan, on the night when President
Lincoln was shot.
This senator's name was Lafayette
S. Foster who was a senator from
Connecticut. They told me that no
was president pro tempore OF the
Senate when Vice President johnson
became President, so that II anything
had happened to johnson Foster
would have been President.
"He was a fine speaker. He was
speaking against a bill to establish
mint at Carson City, New He used
superb language. I could have lis
tened to him by the hour. While
he was speaking he said that the
man who would have charge of the
mint at Carson City would be a
sinecurist, I thought that was a
wonderful word, although I did not
know then what it meant. After the

ask him what he meant when he said
that the man in charge of the mint
in Carson City would be a sinecurist.
/ wasn't sure that had got the pro-
nunciation of the word properly. He
very politely told me what sine
curist was.
"There was to be a dinner at Wash
ington that evening. and good
many politicians were to be there.
Among them was a man who had a
good deal of influence, but who was
always trying to show off, especially
when ne was at dinner. made up

company: Don't you mind this man:

was really the truth about him. He
had political job with good pay
and nothing to do.

that word was. I said to him: If

She was born in 1921 In the Tower
of London, where the English people
were keeping her mother as a mark
of the particular brand of considera-
ton that they felt toward their rulers
at that time. The people were rather
proud of the fact that the princess
was born in prison and so they called
her Joan of the Tower" AS soon
as the queen managed to get out
of the tower she set measures on foot
to make brilliant alliance for Joan.
After offering the hand of the prin-
cess in vain to two princes, she was
accepted as daughter-in-l law by
Robert Bruce for his son David.
The Scotch were at that time warning
with England and in suggesting a
marriage between these two royal
children the queen was incidentally
making, terms of peace, Hence Joan
was known as "Makepeace" The
contract was made out and they
were married on July 17-Joans

her royal husband was four.

We are daily achieving the impos-

: bors for it that it Is the impossible.
For is the world not millions of years

all these ages passed without this
thing having been done? Therefore,

The laying of the Atlantic cable was
an absurdity to the popular mind.
The telegraph that preceded it was

Nothing worth while was ever any
thing but an absurdity. The neigh
bors knew that it was. 1t had never
been done-therefore it could not be
done.
/. The trouble with the neighbors is
] that they think the old thoughts in
the old way. Now and then the
:. neighborhood rank proves them to be
: wrong, but they gracefully admit the
error in particular, but cling all the
more strongly to their belief in the
correctness of their opinion in gen.
eral Anything out of the ordinary Is
beyond their conception. Therefore IT
