AMERICAN ARMY DEFECTIVE.
In No Position to Combat a Great
Power, Says General Wood.

In No Position to Combat a Great
Power, Says General Wood.
That the United States army Is in no
position to meet that of a great power
recently was asserted by Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, chief Of the gen
eral staff He criticised the present
long term system and said this coun-
where 1t would have n reserve force of
efficient young men.
1--WE realize that we must be pre-
pared for war at any time" said he,
land we realize that undeveloped war
resources in the event of war are as
useless as an undeveloped gold mine
in Alaska in a Wall street financial
crisis
1--WE have never had war with a
first class power Of the world alone.
Ask any student of military history
what the condition was when the
French came to our assistance in the
Revolutionary war and made York
town possible. In the war of 1872
England was engaged in the crisis of
the war with Napoleon.
1--WE have plenty Of good men in this
country, but they are unframed and
undisciplined. This has been the sit
uation In past wars. The war with
Mexico was successful, but Mexico
was not a frst class power ready for
war.
'Eow, since the Spanish war the
United States has been recognized rs
world power. We now occupy various
possessions. We occupy the Philip
pines, but no one knows how long we
may occupy them. Our occupancies
have brought their troubles with them.
1--WE must realize at all times that
the armies Of our possible enemies are
always ready. How will we get men
If we are plunged unexpectedly into
war? The system Of short service and
holding men under our power for
certain number Of years Is probably
our only salvation"

SEPARATES BLOOD OF RACES.
Denver Doctor Says He Can Distin-
eush the Different CorpuscIes.

9uISn the DiHcront CorpuScleS.
Discoveries that may be of impor-
tance in criminology concerning the
blood corpuscles of different races are
about to be announced by DR.. A. L.
Bennett, Japanese consul of Denver,
who has made exhaustive experiments
In this direction and who says he can
tell whether a drop of dried blood
comes from the body Of an oriental, a
negro or white man.
DR.. Bennett is recognized In the west
as an authority on the differences be-
tween the blood cells Of human beings
and those of animals, and his findings
have frequently been used in murder
trials.
1t was the case of Gynko Mitsunaga,
a japanese accused Of the murder of
Mrs. Katherine Wilson in Denver two
years ago. that determined DR.. Bennett
to pursue his Investigations Of the
blood corpuscles of different races.
DR.. Bennett took pieces of flesh from
his own face to experiment with until
his features became so marked that his
friends supposed that he was suffering
from some malady.

YANKEE COCKTAIL IN TURKEY

Dozen Names Are Invented For Drink
That Becomes Popular.
Everybody in Constantinople appears
to be drinking sumulants of some kind.
These are served in glasses Of various
sizes and colors and represent prac-
tically all kinds and degrees Of alco-
holic beverages. Strangely enough, the
most popular drink is the American
cocktail, but 1t Is called by dozen diff
fe-ent names, such as Bulgarian
sniper," Greek evzoneria, strong"
"Servian plum whisky, temperate"
and "Montenegrin hot" These and 9th
er fanciful names appear on the lists Of
drinks, but the whole collection is moth
ing but the American cocktail in vari-
GUS colors and DISCUSSES.
The Turks, inspired by the promise Of
peace, have turned beverage inventors,
bringing to their work a sense of
humor. Among the temperate" drinks
made with lemons, oranges and man
darins are some called 'Tchatalja
grog," "Stranja first" "Silivri mix
ture," "Adrianople relief" and ''On to
Sofia" Experts assert that they are
able to pierce the DISCUSSES Of these
fluid Hliips and find in them still the
American cocktail.

NEW SHOE FOR ARMY.
It Appears to Be an Exceptionally SEN
sible Product.


The secretary of war has approved
the recommendations. with a few
minor exceptions, Of the board of eI-
perts in session at Fort Leavenworth.
Kan, to determine upon a type of
shoe for use in the military service.
The investigation included the prac-
teal trial of three kinds Of shoes,
which were worn in daily marches by
the enlisted men of the Seventh in
fantry. The new shoe is of the tan
variety, constructed on one last, and
will take the place Of the present gar
rison, dress and marching shoes. By
this means it will be possible to avoid
carrying in stock three different types,
with two different lasts, resulting in a
simplification of purchase, storage and
issue.
In the new shoe there is a greater
amount of space above the toes than
IN the soft box of the tan shoe now
used in the army or the garrison tan.
1t is so constructed that when snugly
laced it will hold the foot in a posi-
ton that it will have no appreciable
forward, lateral or vertical slipping

AIR BOAT FOR THE NAVY.
w. Startling Burgess Designs One of
Unusual Biplane Type.


The most remarkable air craft thus
far designed by any constructor Of
aeroplanes is being built by w. Star
ling Burgess at Marblehead, to the or
der of the navy department.
The machine will be an "air boat
that is to say, a craft whose float is
single hull, in the bow Of which are
housed pilot and passenger. The de-
tails of this machine have been left
wholly to Mr.. Burgess. merely with
the proviso that it fulfill the require
ments of the department In the way
of reliability. speed and lifting power.
Mr.. Burgess design Is thus described:
The lower plane, which in span and
in depth will not be as large as the
upper plane, will be superimposed upon
the hull and will be built absolutely
rigid The advantage of this design
for the hydroaeroplane will be at once
seen when it is remembered that with
the single main float, additional pom
toons become necessary at the ends of
the wings in order to give the machine
stability when on the water.
In type which uses allerons this
question is not of so much Importance,
as the ailerons are operated from rigid
surfaces. but where the warping wing
method is employed the placing Of
floats at the plane extremities inter-
feres greatly with the use Of the con-
trolls. The Burgess scheme for the
lower surface does away with this diff
ficulty.
The great novelty in design is found
in the upper plane, which is designed
to afford lateral equilibrium to the
"boat"
Ordinarily wind which is warped
to effect control utilizes for this pur-
pose only half of its surface, the rest
being held rigid. Mr.. Burgess has so
designed the new machine as to Sc
cure a warping surface throughout the
entire upper plane. He is able to do
this through his very ingenious meth
cd of supporting this top wing.
