OF TENNESSEE
 AFTER FLOOR LEADERSHIP


 leader may generate exceeding bitter ness. Not only have half a doben can didates for leader developed, but also a demand has been made that the posi- tions of floor leader and chairman of ways and means be divorced as soon as Underwood retires from the House.
 Just such a fight was predicted in The Age-Herald two or three months ago. when it made the exclusive an- nouncement that Finis J. Garrett of Tennessee would be candidate for leader against Claude Kitchin of North Carolina. Not only is Garrett now an>ayowed aspirant. but he is Ahe most aspiring aspirant, and the most canny candidate that ever learned to spell the word, Ambition"
 Even illness cannot cool Garrett's ardor in the contest, and he has writ ten from a bed of sickness to scores of democratic members, asking their support for the leadership.
 By custom and precedent and the rules of the game. Kitchin should suo- ceed to the leadership. even as he suc- ceeds to the chairmanship of ways and means, the two positions having gone together from days to which the mem ory of man runneth not to the con- trary. But custom is not regarded with the same veneration as of old. nor precedent with the same reverance.
 Moreover, arise two other considera- tions: Imprimis, poll of the democrats in the House possibly might show some man enjoying a need of personal popu- larity greater than Kitchin; secundus. the mention of Kitchin's name in the White House does not evoke applause from anyone under it's roof, nor cheers from those who dwell almost within its shadow.
 At times, when the spirit has so independence not compatible with some views of loyalty to the adminis- tratton; in short, he has left the reser- vatton on more than one occasion and even Is said figuratively to have run amuck on the lawn of 1900 Pennsyl- vanfa avenue.
 On the other hand. Garrett has trav- eied smoothly in single and double har- ness. and has shown variety of pleas ing gaits under the saddle. So his friends expect for him support from influential quarters.
 Meantime, the policy of watchful waiting has been adopted by Swagar Sherley of Kentucky and John J. ritz gerald of New York, the latter being chairman of appropriations, and Sher- ley being ranking member. ono or two other dark horses" are also paw ing the ground.
 And thus Is verified in advance the general prediction that trouble would develop when Underwood should leave the House. Probably-absolutely. not another man in the junior chamber could have preserved harmony in the unwieldy majority as has Underwood nor have kept the majority in due subjection with as little friction. His transfer to the Senate will be mighty hard blow to the administration. as far as the management of the House is concerned.

LITTLE JEWISH LAD
 WINS HIGH HONOR

Petrograd, December 19.--(Special.) ) By deeds on the battlsfields child of 12 years has gained the Order of St. George, equivalent of the British Victoria Cross, or the French Legion dHonneurr.
 He is little Jewish lad, the son of an old soldier. He became an or- phan almost as soon as war broke out He went to a regiment about to be sent to tho front and pleaded to go with them. The commander was not willing to take a child with him, but at length allowed him to be adopted by the regiment. In the fighting in the Hungarian plain the boy was taken prisoner by the Austrians, who thought that he would tell them about the number and disposition of their enemy. The little Jew refused to say a word. and the Austrians in disgust threw him into a barn. setting . soldier on guard at the door.
 One night the soldier went to sleep and the boy fled. He took day or two to get back to the Russian hsadquar- ters. for the way was long and he was tired. and his little feet were in blisters when he at last stumbled into the camp of the cossacks.
 They took him before the commander, and he told what he knew. The Aus trians had talked openly before him. The commander listened eagerly and when the boy finished asked him to step closer.
 You are but 12 years old," he said, "but from today you are a corporal, and you will get the Order of St. George"
 The child corporal is in hospital at Kieff now, wounded in the battle which followed; but he has the order clasped tightly in his hand

YOUTHS TOLD THEY WERE TO GUARD PARIS

In conversation with local resident. tho youth remarked: This is St. omer isn't it?" He was in- formed that 1t was. ''Is it far within the French frontier?' he innocently inquired.

They gave us uniforms and . rifle. and--here we are.
 My mother was not told of my de- parture. What will she think? For three weeks before left school had not seen her. Eight days after they equipped us they put us in the trenches. We did not know how to hold our rifles. And then. one fine day. while our commander was in the act of calling the roll. we found ourselves surrounded by French soldiers, who made us prisoners. And now we find ourselves here, after we had been told, on our departure, that we were O. ing to guard Paris and the other great cities we had taken

EAST INDIAN TROOPS
 TERRIBLE FIGHTERS

London. December 5.--(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press.)-High tribute is paid the mark lSsmanship and courage of the East Indian troops by an English soldier in a letter printed in the Daily News and Leader.
 "On one occasion" the letter said, "I saw tethered to the ground a goat about to be killed for the Indians meal. A Gurkha, standing about 12 yards away, threw his knife at the goat with such deadly aim that its head was cut clean off.
 They can throw these weapons at a distance of 50 yards and have no difficulty in hitting their mark. They are terrible fighters. With the belief to die in war means eternal paradise, they have no hesitation in plunging right into the thick of the battle The only difficulty Is to keep them from rushing at tho enemy before the order Is given. They cannot wait. but they must leave the trenches and wriggle their way up to where the enemy is, and then deal their deadly blow"

RESTORATION OF
 EMPIRE ADVOCATED

Picking, December 1S.--(speciai.)-An ex- tremcly curious affair. resulting in the summary execution of the famous scholar Sung Yu Jen Is greatly agitating Peking and attracting the closest attention of diplomatists. owing to the indication as to the future which 1t affords. Sung Yu Jen's crime was presenting memorials advocating the restoration of the empire, with Yuan Shi Kai created prince regent until the Emperor Hsuan Tung attains his twentieth year. during which interval harmonious framework suitable for Chinese society should be erected.
 This proposition had already been can vassed far and wide through the book of another famous. scholar called "The Meaning of the Republic" emphasizing the parallel of Cromwell and the English commonwealth, arguing that the restora- ton became absolutely inevitable through the logic of external events. Practi ally all the monied classes are now in agree ment with the plan if 1t can be peacefully encompassed, and though thls tragedy shows that much ground still has to be won, gather that attempts for tho re-

official sanction at Cambridge through the presentation of a cup which is being competed for by teams from the four com panies of the university military training corps. At Oxford there have been several football matches between scrub varsity teams and teams from some of the nearby public schools.
 Soccer football is a favorite with the military men. who consider 1t valuable building-up exercise for the varsity re- oruits. Matches are frequently played at both Oxford and Cambridge, although there will be no matches between the two universities.
 The Oxford freshmen's lawn tennis sin gles and the Oxford handicap tennis tournament have been decided, with "over- seas" players taking all the honors. Inc freshmen's singles were won by Hopkins. an Australian, with Clayson, an Amer ican, as the runner-up. The handicap tournament went to Rissik, a South Af- rican.

where a spirit of independence Is com mencing to manifest itself. The sub serviency of the House in the past may be explained concretely by conversation between veteran mern- Der of the House and a member Of the cabinet, his close friend, and repeated by the congressman to the correspon- dent of The Age-Herald. The cabi- net official had invited his friend. the congressman, to take dinner with him that evening.
 "I'm going home on the afternoon train," explained the congressman.
 "Har laughed the cabinet member, now about 'absenteeism' ?"
 I'll I'm only a number In the House-a nonentity, like the rest. Ab- senteeism' be d-dp' was the answer.
 Then the conversation switched to more pleasant topics.
 That was the feeling among most or the democratic members of the House up to November; now indications of in- dependence are conspicuous.
