FLAGS NOT THEIR OWN
There Are Many Incidents Of Famous
Men Who Have Led soIdler-of.
Fortune Careers.

Many famous soldiers and adventur-
ers served under flags not their own.
Henry Hudson, an Englishman, who
sailed under the Dutch standard;
Christopher Columbus, a Genoese, who
discovered a continent in the name Of
Spain; Kosciusko and Pulaski. Polish
patriots. who fought for American in.
dependence. and Gordon. who gained
distinction in the service of China, are
conspicuous examples.
Disregarding the obscure periods of
the Middle Ages, when adventures
scurried to and fro all oyer Europe.
one has only to study the bureaucracy
of Russia to find a potent example Of
the highest type of the soldier of for
tune. Russia, at her regeneration.
needed leaders of every kind-soldiers,
statesmen, bankers, organizers-and
all were brought in from the outside.
At the helm of state their descendants
remain today.
In a somewhat similar manner,
when America was fighting for her in
dependence there were needed many
foreigners to aid in military ~organiza-
ton. Baron Steuben, the Prussian;
Pulaski and Kosciusko, the Poles, and
Lafayette, the Frenchman, were the
most notable figures. OF all these, it
can be said that they were fighting for
the cause of freedom, which was also
their own; but they were soldiers of
fortune, nevertheless.
There were many adventures in the
Italian war for freedom, and Garibaldi
had been one himself, serving in the
French navy and in the army of the
republic of Rio Grande," the present
Uruguay. Even when he had attained
the height Of his fame he, with his
sons, served in the French army dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war.
In the wars of Serbia and Bulgaria
there were Austrians, Russians and
many other foreigners, while in Spain
n has but to consider the names of
certain statesmen of recent years to
see how many adventurers have served
to make the history of that country.
A warrior named O'Higgins played a
chief part in the wars Of Chile. In
China the leaders have time and again
been men Of western race, and it would
be interesting to learn how many grad
yates of Annapolis have served in the
Chinese navy.
In Morocco, but a short while ago, it
was Kaid Mclean who was the moving
agent il affairs.
There are many new things that
combine to render the trade of the
soldier of fortune less picturesque
than it formerly was. War today is a
much more highly organized affair
than it was years ago. Before they
fight, nations are apt to sum up care.

to contend, and every step that is
taken in organization means one less

kept there until she was eleven years

whom she remained until three years

FOUR HENS TO SETTLE CASE
When They Decide "This Is Our

to an End.

New York.-Under instructions from
City Judge Beall, a Yonkers policeman
turned loose four hens and followed
them to see where they went to roost.
Upon the report he will make will de-
pend the judges decision as to the
ownership Of the fowl.
Mrs. Mary Katatch of 1856 Orchard
street and Luigi Citorea Of 200 Or
chard street claim the hens. They
went to court about it and Judge Beall
quickly realized he would need expert
advice. He decided that the best ex-
perts were the hens themselves, and
ordered that they be permitted to
show which was their home.
Il want you, officer, to see that there
is no interference with justice in this
case" said Judge Beall to the police
man. 1--WE had a spaghetti hound case
here that could not be settled because
someone ate the spaghetti intended for
the dog. We had a pigeon case in
which someone got the birds drunk.
Don't let anyone interfere with the &C.
tons of these hens"
