Thus runs the chant of two End In

The War Department was liberal to
rank extravagance with leaves of alb.
sence, and even suspended the opera
ton of the orders requiring all officers
to attend the autumn maneuvers. in
order to appease Dan Cupid. Then
just as the last threads were knotted
in the tr0usseaJix. the same authority
facetiOusly announces that Dan will
have to put on the brakes until the
Philippines can be cleared OF surplus
officers.
It's long way to San francisco by
liner, a little longer by transport, and
some distance when doing the Duke
Kahanainoku" through shark-infested
waters.
There is one, or maybe two, very
dim and glimmering hopes to which
the heart strings are fastened but,
though the heart strings are strong,
the anchorage may be myth. The
Maryland is coming over, and on her
last return trip she carried a few ex-
tras. Then there is the mine planter
that might be converted into Cupid's
Ark, but If both OF these hopes fade
away new version OF Waiting at
the Church will be written. One of
the fortunates or unfortunates, de-
pending on the point of view, swears he
will stowaway, and the other is look
ing over the outriggers with view to
decking one over for the trip. To
make matters still more pathetic,
there are three "happiest men in the
world coming to the regiment on the
transport today.
Hawaii is beautiful, and as honey
moon garden it is grand, but when one
is stranded here on the eve of his
wedding day it must appear a desolate
speck in the mire of despair.

On July there was large parade,
composed OF the army and naval forces

On the Fourth there were sailing and
dingey races between all the ships in

BREAK RECORDS
FOR MOUNTING
HEAVY ORDNANCE
Tenth Company Has Done Fine
Work With New l4-inch
Rifle at De RuSSy

Breaking all Coast Artillery records
for the moving and mounting OF big
guns, the new 14-inoh rifle for Fort
De Russy was placed on the trunnioffs
of the carriage at 1880 o'clock this
morning, just eleven and one-half
days from the time it was landed on
the De Russy beach from the barge on
which it was towed over the reef.
When, two years ago, the first IA
inch gun was mounted at De Russy,
a record of three weeks in the ham
ding was achieved, and brought spe-
cial commentator from the depart
ment. The new gun. besides being
longer and about SIX tons heavier than
the one mounted two years ago; was,
handled in nine days less time; though
the distance each hads 10 be moved
from the place of landing was prac-
ticAliy IDENTICAL
The new rifle is As feet long and
weighs a trifie less than 60 tons. 1t
was moved from the beach to the bat,
terry in wooden cradle, placed on
rollers on a track of massive timbers;
and dragged by a crew of 20 men of.
the 10th company. The moving of the
huge piece of artillery was accom-
plished without even q minor accident
to any OF the men engaged, though the
work was twice set back, once by the
breaking of the jacks with which it
was being raised. and prior to that by
the necessity of turning the gun over,
1t having been placed on the barge
wrong side up.
The carriage has been waiting for
the big rifle for more than yeak The,
gun was proof fired at Sandy Hook.
but proof firing to test the carriagewill
be done here, probably within the next
two months.

The prevalent impression in tn
West that the operations in Poland
have been conducted in wild and dcs-
olatc country is curiou-ly wide Of
the truth. Poland is now more
dcnscly populated than any other
part of Russia, and the towns which
have figured in the recent dispatches
are ccntcrs of thriving industry.
rlotsk does Il grcrt trade in sugar,
like lmblin. liadom, now out of

ncrics and d;s'illcrics. Kalisz,
through which Il h'g German column
passed to relieve lhr pressure in the
center, is famous for lace and en-
hroidcrics. Every little town around
which the fighting has ragged has its
own mills, chiefly textile. Poland is
rich in minerals. and its coal field

necessary to cross inDo Silcsia to find
