Genet's popularity collapsed like

alteration of the people for the hero

decided to demand the recall of Genet
even though it meant war with that

It was fortunate for us that the
Girondist party, who had appointed

Our relations with England became
strained soon after the French crisis
was over England had shown little
respect for our newly formed nation
and the people had a series Of griev-

account of interference with our West
India trade and encouraging pirates to

while the wonderful action of the
horses enthrall.
In this connection 1t is of interest
to know that the sculptor from boy
hood has made a special study of the
horse under various influences and
conditions, and has brought to his task
complete knowledge of his subject.
That he might portray the battle
horses in the Grant memorial with
absolute faithfulness he served for a
time in the militia so as to gain full
knowledge of the anatomy and action
of horses in combat. The result as
seen from the bronze groups now in
place justify this procedure.
The square occupied by the Grant
Monument will in time become one of
the most striking examples of the re-
constructive work now in course of
operation in the Capital City. and will
do its part in forming an appropriate
and dignified setting for the west front

tested to the Turkish government and
to the Austrian officer without avail.
Finally on July 2. 1853. Captain
Ingraham, Of the United States sloop
of war lying in the Smyrna harbor
threatened to open fire if Kostza was
not surrendered to him by o'clock.
The Austrian Consul agreed that
Kostza should be held by the French
Consul until some agreement could be
reached. Baron Hulsemann. the Aus

then wrote a letter to Secretary of
State Marcy demanding reprimand
be given to the agents Of the United

the ground that Kostza had never
ceased to become an Austrian citizen.
Marcy's reply is one Of the fam Gus

In this Secretary Marcy declared that
KOStZa when seized and imprisoned
was invested with the nationality of
the United States, and it was therefore
the right Of our country, If they chose
to exercise 1t, to protect him. KostZa
was released and allowed to return

OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. 21.-
The board of city commissioners has
passed an ordinance il believes will
stand up under the laws OF the state
relative to the use OF automobiles for
hire. The high courts have annulled
all ordinances previously In existence
because they conflicted with the state
laws relative TO the taxing OF automo-
biles. The new ordinance provides
that taxicab drivers shall be sober
and law-ahiding and not give aid by
the use Of their cars TO violating any
OF the laws, This will give them po-
lice regulation, for which they are 10
pay s25 a year. IL is understood the
taxi drivers desired such a law for
their own protection.

General Crozier, chief of ordnance,
today by Col. Isaac Lewis, inventor of
the Lewis machine gun in testimony
before the senate military affairs com
mittee.
General Crozier is responsible,
more than any other man, for the OBJ
solete equipment and the lack of any
equipment OF the army" said Lewis.
In a dramatic declaration that
America is not fighting the battle of
the allies but the battle of America,
Lewis declared that it is a shame n
an outrage" hat American troops
abroad have to beg artillery from
France already near bankruptcy and
bIed white"
The former West Pointer, who saw
his machine gun rejected by the
American war department and ac-
.cepted as one of the pet weapons Of
the allies told the committee his gun
never received a fair trial here.
I'm not here to tell the story of
the Lewis gun in great detail said
Colonel Lewis. Its telling it's own
story today, on every battle field in
Europe. The only Zeppelins that the
British have brought down were
brought down by Lewis guns"
Lewis said that for the sake of his
two sons, o with Pershihg in
France, and for the sake of all our
sons who will be there before this ter
rible war is over" faster progress
should have been made in e%quipping
