STaking Him Down

To certain southern town, on legal
business, came most pompous young
lawyer who. Notwithstanding his name
was McNaught. had an excellent opin-

it necessary to talk with Squire Gard
nor. an unpublished Justice, who had no
good opinion of anything. and espe-
cially of anyone who had good opin-

The young lawyer proceeded prompt

Servlans. But the collective spirit Of
great armies is not militant The Vienna
military writer, Ronisch, says that in
measure, as any social, political. or mill
tary machine grows in size and complica-
tions, then in the same ratio does 1t
lose its desire to function. Instead Of de-
string to function, it evolves an instint OF
self-preservation. To remain as 1t is.

War offices are under the domination Of
political and social fear They dread that
great war would produce political ana
social conditions which would do away
with armies altogether. Armies exist
today only because Of the popular belief
that. burdensome as they are, they are

than ever. The military caste is abso-
lutely on top. But there is no sign of
militancy. Commanding generals are ap-
pointed because they are good admnistra-
tors, who see that their men are properly
fed and who save for the state as much
as possible out of the annual uniform
allowance. The head of the war depart
ment is never a fighting man. That was
true of the late Prussian Minister of War,
Won Heeringen, and 1t is true also of his
successor, Won Falkenhayn. When Fal-
kenhayn was appointed by the Kaiser.
newspapers praised him as "a good man
to keep the army machine going in
peace" That Is the function not only of
all modern war ministers, but of the
whole army department In the Austrian
DELEGATIONS, two years ago, the complaint
was made that among the higher COM
mands there is only one fighting man.
This was the present chief of staff, Con-
rad Won Hoetzendorff. Hoetxendorff is

The New Philippines.

While it was not until the year 1898
that the name Philippines" became
a familiar one to Americans, it is
fact that, not hundred years be-
fore, the name of the New Philip
pines was applied to a large area of
American soil
The first settlement in what now
constitutes the state of Texas, was
made in the year 1885 by French i'm
migrants. During the Is years follow
ing there was constant struggle be-
tween the French and the Spanish
for possession and supremacy.
struggle that finally resulted in favor
of the latter. SO, in 1914, the name
of the New Philippines" was given
to the country. This was it's official
name in the Spanish records for many
years, and until the name of Texas,
from tribe of Indians, gradually
came into USE
