Officers Graduated From
West Point In Ten Years

A circular letter issued by the American
Defense Society gives the following as tn,
number of officers graduated from the Mill
airy Academy during the past ten years
1906, 78; 1907, III; 1908, 1O8; 1909, 103
1910, 80; 1911, IS; 1912, 90; 1913, 50; 1914
L07; 1915, 1874; an average of 103 officer
year. With reference to this, the circula
'ays:
With military statistics and the
history of the present European war
showing conclusively that the proper
ton in an efficient army should be
at least nine officers for every forty
enlisted men, the Hay bill makes pro-
vision for differing the army which
it proposes with but four officers for
every forty enlisted men, and this in
the face of the fact that our present
small army is short 154 officers, and
that in place of the 4,726 men with
commissions who would be with our
mobile forces, there are actually on de-
tail with our mobile forces but 2.738.
This present lack of officers and
the apparent neglect in this regard by
the men who are framing the army
which we are to have, have turned the
attention of the thinking men of the
country to the source to which we
must now look for commissioned men.
They have found that the West Point
Military Academy has not only never
: supplied our army with a sufficient
number of officers, but that at the
present day there are seventy-nine
West Point cadetships vacant. The
latest figures obtainable show that g.
least ninety-three field and 675 com
pany officers in the army are away
from their commands either by reason
of leave of absence, illness or special
detail

SUGGEST AN INTERCONNiVNiO
n Union of the Russian and English
Churches Is Considered

The Rev. r. j. Campbell, who pre-
sided at a lecture on Russia" dclv-
cred by stephen Graham vt the Church
hall, Westminster, said that the war
had had the effect of making the peo-
pie Of this country long to know and
understand more of Russia. Espe-
cially, said Mr.. Campbell, was this
the case with regard to the newborn
interest of English people in Russian
religion.
Taken as whole. Mr.. Campbell
said we knew little or nothing of the
great eastern communion, whose sem
aration from the Roman see so long
preceded our own, and of whose cath
olicity and apostolicity in the strict
sense there could be no serious oues-
ton. 1t was not too much to saw that
II intercommunion could be estab-
lished between the Russian church
and our own branch OF the western
church 1t would be long step in the
direction OF that reunion of Christen-
dom for which they all devoutly
prayed.
stephen Graham said intercom-
munion between England and Russia
could come only through a spiritual
understanding and sympathy. Con-
trasttng the English and Russian
churches, Mr.. Graham related that he
paid q visit last week to Durham
cathedral, which seemed the very
homo OF spiritual beauty; but ne was
told that fewer people attended wor-
ship than ever, The Russian churches.

RBETT LOSES THE FIGHT.
Many May Think Defeat Was in the
Nature OF u Judgment.

If | were n superstitious man |
might give undue weight TO the fol-
lowing incident as a bad oSlen. Just
before Corbett had met Sullivan and
while he was in training he bought a
collie for Sl0-a wonderfully pugna-
cious dog, which would tackle any
thing. There was one thing on earth
that Ned loved, and only one, and thar
was Corbett. And Jim loved the dog
for his bravery. Ned always slept at
the end of his masters bed, and If
anybody approached the room he
would give terrible growl. In a
word he was Corbetts protector. Ned
was Corbetts constant companion dur
ing training for the Sullivan fight and
went with him to New orleans. Then
he travelled everywhere with his vic
torious matser and made his appear
ance on the stage with him in the
training scene In Gentleman jack.
1t was Ned's growls that aroused the
camp one night when Corbett was
training for the Mitchell fight to the
fact that some persons had climbed
up next TO Corbett's room. 1t looked
as if they were there to MAIN or hurt
Corbett. In fact when they were dis
covered and shot at, they shot back.
OF course. Ned was the hero of the
affair.
When we went to Europe Jim lent
Ned to John w. Norton and he re-
mained with that man until Norton
died.
When Corbett went TO Carson he
forgot all about Ned. partly from the
fact, / suppose. that his brother Harry
had brought from San Francisco
beautiful fullblooded collie. for whom
Jim had now conceived a deep affec-
ton. Not knowing this. ! thought It

would be good idea to take Ned with
me when | should join Corbett at Car
son. | paid Ned's expenses across the
continent in the baggage car, took
good care of him and anticipated great
pleasure in introducing him to Cor
bett again. | found jim sitting with
the beautiful collie dog in his lap.
Ned, furiously Jealous, srpang at the
throat of the dog who had supplanted
him IN his old masters affections, and
they mad terrible row until Corbett
savagelv pulled them apart and kicked
Ned out of the door into the deep
snow. That night Corbett, who slept
in cottage opposite the little hotel
where we We're training, took the col
lie and went to bed, and the next
morning, outside Of Corbett's door,
with his nose on the sill. was Ned
frozen stiff. And Corbett lost the
