MILITARY INSTRUCTION CAMP
Piattsbure. n. Y. Aug. n. General
Leonard Wood announced last night that
another camp on the lines OF the present
one Will be held here from September
until October g. Captain Gordon john
ston, adiutant OF the present camp, has
: been instructed to notify all who asked
permission TO enroll In the present camp.
but whose applications arrived late. that
they viii have an opportunity TO get mill
tary training at that time.
More than 900 enrolments for the new
camp are already on file, and It Is ex-
pected that the number will be sweled
until the attendance equals, u II does
not exceed, that OF 1900 at the present
camp. Much OF the new enrolment, II ls
expected. will come from the Middle West
and South, since Il has been found un-
feasible on account Of the lack OF equip
ment concentrated In those sections to
hold camps there, as had been hoped for.
The same officers will be detailed here
for the second camp period, and the same
course OF instruction will be followed.
The sinking of the Arabic continues to-
day 20 be the main topic Of conversation.
or the many we'll known men In the camp
none would speak for publication. The
sentiment seems TO be that the action OF
the Government cannot be affected by
anything said at this time and that the
best policy Is to let those in authority do
the talking.
There was little new in the program Of
training at the camp today. The second
squadron OF cavalry, composed OF mem
bers Of Companies r, r, q and n. re-
turned from their hike on which they left
early yesterday. They bivouacked for the
night about seven miles north Of the
camp The first squadron will leave

The purpose OF these one-nipht camps ls
TO famlliarize the recruits In the cavalry

LUNCHEON SET.

An unusual and desirable luncheon set consists of two long, narrow scarfs, one ard three quarters yards in length by twelve inches in width; a half dozen luncheon napkins. fifteen inches square, and four plate doilies, ten inches square.
 The adges of these pieces are but tOn-holed first and then an edge is crocheted to the buttonholing A very tiny. narrow edge it is. Both button holing and edge may be in a delft blue or in white to match the linen The stamped design of these doilies is very simple, being nothing more than a square of about a quarter inch thick doilies and the six napkins a short distance from the buttonholed and cro- cheted edges. The two oblongs are treated in the same way, only that they have within them obIongs instead of squares, the width of the lines form ing the oblong being a quarter inch wide
 These squares and oblongs are formed by an easy alarming stitch in two shades of delft blue, one of which should match the crocheted and but tonholed edge, if it be in blue as sug- gested
 When in use the two oblongs are placed upon the table in the form of a Greek cross, and in the four spaces thus formed the four doilies are in serted.
 The set may be worked in different shades of rose or green instead of blue. Initials may be worked upon the nap- kins. These should be in white, even though the edges and embroidery be in blue

THE NAVAL PROGRAM.

The campaign in behalf of adequate protection against the possibilities of war has been a campaign of educa tion. It has brought to light many conditions that were little known and a greater realization of the needs is indicated by the report which will be made by the naval committee of con- gress. That report will not recom- mend additions to the navy in full accordance with the requirements set forth by the general board, but it shows that it's suggestions have not been ignored. The report will urge even more than the secretary of the navy considered necessary in his pro- gram for he was not backward in slashing the recommendations of the general board.
 Two battIeships of the superdread- nought type, seventeen submarines, of which one will be a see going craft, and a new hospital ship are what will be sought Sat this session. That it will result in no small debate upon the floor is likely. There are those who will view such a plan as extravagant. There are others who will insist that it is simply inviting trouble while there will be the plea that the pro gram of the general board should be carried out in it's entirety for the prop CT defense of the country.
 The fact of the matter is that such a course as will be recommended and which is likely to prevail with some amendments, indicates that the navy cannot be neglected and have the pol icy a wise one The shortcomings must be obliterated even though grad uaHy and that important part of the national defense must be put upon a sensible and efficient basis.

BUSINESS FOR UNITED STATES.

With conditions as they are it is highly important that this country should make the most of it's oppOr- tunities for increased foreign busi- ness. Such has resulted in greater activity in many lines, and trade with the belligerents and neutral nations in Europe has shown great gains. This country is being looked to, to supply 9 great many of the necessities which in the past have been drawn from the countries engaged in war. For some time to come the European nations that can get our goods are going to draw on this source of supply while South America promises to do a bus mess with the United States which will steadily increase as the years go by.
 No little significance is attached to the fact that Russia has just estab- lished credit to the amount of s25 - 100000 in this country to facilitate payment for goods to be exported for that country's use and to the similar action taken by Italy, though not in volved in the war as vet which has deposited gold to the extent of $4,000,- 900 with American banks.
 This means. if it has any meaning at all. that American supplies are re- quired for these countries and that as far as credit is concerned there is nothing standing in the way of filling the orders. It means that this country must be alive to the opportunities which are created by the war. It is not a case of taking advantage of an others misfortune, but it is matter of taking care of such trade as has been and is being demanded of us as the result of the war.

FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM

The Duke of Buckingham was brought to his doom by the personal jealousy of Cardinal Wolsey- An Emperor on the continent, when he heard of the death, said: "A butch CTS dog worried to death the finest buck in England.'' By the "butcher's dog" was meant Wolsey, for it was well known that he was the son of a butcher.
 The first seeds of discontent were sown in a small way. The King held a banquet, at which only the nobility were present. After the diners had finished, Buckingham took a silver basin and held it while the King washed his hands. When he had fin ished, Wolsey ~ushed his way through the crowd and before Buckingham h. d time to protect, thrust his hands into the water, 10 uoupL meaning to make Buckingham hold it while he washed his hands. But Buckingham, not be- ing man of that mettle instead of holding it for one so low born, merely tilted the receptacle and poured the water over the shoes of the cardinal.
 As revenge the cardinal swore that he would sit on the skirts of Buck ingham-that being considered at that time a great insult-but, to the amaze ment of the court, Buckingham ap- peared the next day without any skirts to his doublet, thereby foiling Wolsey and incurring his hatred. for which he was to pay dearly in the end.
 Not long after the cardinal went to the King and laid charge against Buckingham, adding that it would be better for the safety of His Majesty to put Buckingham out of the way To this the King replied, If the Duke deserves punishment let it be afflicted accordingly" upon which the duke was

sERcHToLD.s RESIGNATION.

Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary conferred high honor upon Count Von Berchtold when he present. ed him a grand cross while accept ing his resignation as foreign minis ter, but how much greater honor could have been given him had he taken steps which would have preserved peace instead of inviting war.
 Count Won Berchtold was the man who sent the note to Servia that re- suited in the war. It may be looked upon as a wise and necessary course from the Austrian standpoint, but it was the signal for one of the worst blows the duel monarchy has ever re- ceived. Whatever may have been back of Gne action, whatever support may have been relied upon, it was e. step from which an entirely different re- suit must have been anticipated. Ans srfa hes suffered, is suffering and will continue to for a long time to come. Not only is it playing second fiddle in
