War Will Change Studies

Berlin, August 7.--(Special) )-The direc- tor of one of the largest boys high schools in Germany. pr. Heeren, writes from the trenches before Rheims that he believes the war will cause a complete change in the course of studies for boys in schools of the grammar and high school classes. Physical training will have & larger part in education,' pr. Heeren believes. School gymnastics of the acrobatic variety will be abolished. and long cross country runs will be prac- ticed in order to develop the lungs and heart. which this war has shown are the weak points of our young manhood. In the classroom there will be less dogma and more religion. History teaching will aim to arouse enthusiasm for great per- sonalities. In geography the essential question will be in studying each country. What interests has Germany there? Much more importance will be attached to physics and chemistry. Knowledge of Russian and Spanish will be compulsory, since Germany's economic interest wil1 mainly lie in the Slav countries and in Spanish South America. English will bs taught merely for practical purposes

London, August 1.-(Special )-All the children are going on with their dancing lessons as if things were in a normal state. Even Princess Mary keeps up hers on the quiet because dancing is recommended so much here by the great medical men.

nut butter. kind of margarine, is allowed for cooking and even at Ches- terfield House and Sunderland House this state of things prevails. For the moment the paid housekeeper is at a great disadvantage, all the great ladies preferring to see into the management of their own establishments them selves. Some weeks ago there was a terrible rumpus at Chesterfield House when 1t was discovered by the Duchess of RoxburEhe that the chef had been ordering butter at 50 cents a. pound. Her grace happened to examine a tradesman's account and noted the charge, whereupon the chef was sum- rloned in person. He Is not likely to forget the sermon he received The duke, 1t appears, came in while the discussion was going on and when he heard that 50 cents a pound had ever been given for butter he said 1t was enough to make his late father turn ii his grave" His grace knows the value of sixpence as we'll as any Scot on the face of the globe and he has & holy horror of extravagance. especially III regard to food.

 Every possible moment he could spare he devoted to boring over maps of the mountains. working out ex- actly how an army would cross them, the danger spots, the difficult passes and so on. Not only did he make study from maps, but every year his holidays were spent trampinE over those very passes he has now so suc- cessfully forced with the Italian army.
 He published number of books on the Italian frontier. how it should be defended, and how the neighboring Austrian mountains should be attacked and conquered. These books have been for years the textbooks of every Ital- ian officer
 It is said of the Italian commander, indeed. that his knowledge of the coun- try over which he is now fighting is so exact that he can name every village. Toad and pass without the aid of a map of any kind.
 For som etime he was colonel of the Tenth Bersaglieri. the crack troops of the Italian army
 To show his knowledge of the from tier the following story Is related of him. During the maneuvers of the Italian army in 1895 one of the gen erals began a movement which could only be defeated by an army outflank- ing him over the mountains. All the officers of the staff said 1t was ut terly impossible for a single soldier to cross the mountains. let alone an army.
 The Bersaglieri led by Cadorna. climbed the impossible rocks and springing a surprise on the "enemy." won those maneuvers for their own side. But only Codorna could have done 1t.
 Although over GA. General Codorna looks very much younger. and is as active as a man of 40. He Is tall. and has a quick ease of movement which shows the practiced horseman. And the Italian horsemen. it must not be forgotten, are the finest horsemen in the world.
 The head of the Italian army occu- pies in the estimation of his country men the same position as General Jof- ire in France. or Lord Kitchener with Is. The Italians have unlimited con fdence in him. for they know that he is the one man who knows his job better than anyone else in Italy

ITALY'S CHIEF

From Pearson's Weekly.
 The official Rome reports of the progress of the Italian army in Austria are signed "Cadorna.''
 General Count Luigi Cadorna. chief Of the Italian general staff. and gen eralissimo of the Italian army, was born on September f. 1850, and entered the military college of Milan when he was only 10 years of age.
 Five years later he entered the mill tary academy at Turin. which he left three years later with the reputation Of being one of the cleverest pupils who had ever entered it. If exami- nations prove anything they prove that, for he easily passed out head of any one else.
 In 1875 Luigi Cadorna was made a captain, and from that year he began those studies which are now going to prove of such immense value to him and Italy.
 It was in that year that he began to learn all he could about the noun tainous frontier dividing Italy and Austria, for he was convinced that some day the two countries would be at war and he knew that thorough knowledge of the mountains and passes would not only be invaluable

tric light and power It is proposed to invite foreign capital to undertake tho lighting of several of the important in- terior towns in the vicinity of which ann pie water power exists. At both Peno- nome and Chorrera there are excellent falls which would supply the entire dis tricts in which they are located with light and power. The water power at Chorrera is sufficiently near both Pan anna and Colon so that electric current could be transmitted to them over a high tension. In the vicinity of Boquete. province of Chiriqu there are other falls which once harnessed to produce Eydro-electric mower would make that district important industrial center as well as lighting number of impor- tant towns on the Pacific side
