Cuban Communication

For long time communication between western
Cuba, where Havana is located the eastern part
of the island practically limited to waterways.
The distances were too great for horse travel and
there were no railroads connecting the sections
Some years ago the late Sir William Van Horn who
had made fortune by making the Canadian Pacific
road, turned his attention to Cuba and developed the
Cuba railroad, which picking up the existing roads
that east from Havana, rails clear across
the island to Santiago. Since his road was opened
it has been possible to reach practically all sections
speedily.
Hitherto outbreaks in Cuba have got their
strength from the eastern end those sections were
nearly inaccessible With the opening of the
through railroad if the road kept in possession OF
the government it should be possible to throw troops
wherever they needed and thus to prevent any
disturbance from spreading widely. Apparently the
test is coming OF course the situation is not
one for serious anxiety. There may be some fighting

Subjects"

In the speech made last week by Senator Stone
Of Missouri in support of his resolution declaring
that the United States approved President
wilson's in breaking off diplomatic relations
with Germany the took occasion read a
presidents decision was received in that city Among
other details in this dispatch was the following:
Upon the Americans in London will fall vast
of activity connected with the probable
odus of United States subjects from central
tries and plans are being mad e Of every possible
assistance to the embassy here"
When Mr. Stone reached the word subjects" he
broke off his reading and remarked:
Il pause here to interpolate that probably the
foreign gentleman who penned this cablegram is
aware that the people who allegiance the
constitution and government of the United States are
in the constitution described as Citizens" not Sub
jecs and while they subject to the laws Of the
United States and of the states of which they are
severally residents. the type the American
prefers to be described citizen rather than as a
subject"
Mr.. Stone is little old fashioned in remembering
such legal differences in these days confused and
mixed nationaItes. He is right however for Amer
leans not subject to anybody except to them
selves and to the laws which they their repre-
sentatives make There is my" army or my"
navy in the official speech of this country as is the
usage in England, but only army and our navy
The distinction between the two modes of speech is
OF Importance, but the difference between the two
methods of conducting public business is of far more
Importance.

General Funston

The swift and spectacular life of General Funston
has perhaps tempted his biographers to engage in
apocryphal description of many events in which he
figured But if take only what is we'll authenti-
Gated by army records have enough to insure him
a place American history and place in military
annals though he lacked that technical training which
imagine necessary to the making of a great SOL
der. But we have had many surprises of that
sort to wonder that Funston from being civilian,
quickly became skillful and successful commander
The civil war developed many military leaders who
had enlisted the ranks and took foremost places
in the war. Grant himself though a West Pointer
stood low in his classes that he could give no
promise of genius the of the rebellion brought
out 1t is very doubtful whether his West Point
residence possessed any other advantage him than
to give him place The advantage might have
come to him if he had become captain by raising a
company of volunteers as hundreds civilians did
He was natural soldier Funston was, possess
ing courage, resourcefulness and tenacity
Napoleon though trained Brienne would have
been as great a soldier if he had been up from
the ranks by the Revolution His genius strik-
ingly shown in his ability recognize soldier when
he saw him in the block the sculptor images the
statue in the yet rough marble So he chose the
who became his great marshals
Such soldiers are born, not made in military in
situations. There are few military geniuses Our
officers a rule must be made and enough of
them are being made
The born soldier differs from the made soldier in
his peculiar ability opportunity while the
training of the officer he is without genius enables
him only to and take advantage of opportunity
The former proceeds by unerring Judgment along
tried while the Latter follows the successful
experiences of great captains.
When conditions of war change. they have
been materially changed within the last three
years the born soldier comes into his field while
the merely trained soldier has much unlearn, much

minds like Gompers and Roosevelt are

hard question TO discuss, because any

degree unjust and fails to lit the case.
We have to begin with the old mis-
understanding between people I'm the

unjust treatment accorded the black

WOMAN TO WEAR OVERALLS
f1nds Her Living Easier TO Earn on
Equality With Men.

Il would like to get permission to
wear oNeralls." Clerk James Wal
dron OF Dorchester police station
looked up from behind the desk and
was surprised to see woman stand
ing there, according to the Boston
Globe. She had entered the station
unnoticed.
Mr.. Waldron told the woman she
did not need a permit "Oh, don't
l? 1 thot 1 did," replied the woman,
and before she could be asked her
intentions she went away. Reporters
shortly afterwards heard of the un-
usual request from the police and
located the woman at her home in
Ashmont.
She is Mrs. Anna Jackson. Eyes,
asked for a permit to wear them"
she said. Il was told a permit was
not necessary and from now on pro-
pose to wear overalls in my work"
She stated that her work was n mans
work. that she was not satisfied with
working with women and had de-
serted entirely work usually per-
formed by them.
Whats the reason?" was asked
u cannot work for woman. I'm
tired of doing woman's work and men
are reasonable. l want to do a mans
know how to figure on jobs, they are
not too exacting. Women are not
reasonable"
Mrs. Jackson is sort OF Jack of
all trades" She can oil floors, paint,
varnish, fix windows and is first
class paperhanger. She is an expert
nurse and a skilled laundry ironer.
The latter, she says, has been her
trade. She says she is not out for
equality of the sexes. but inasmuch
rs she is forced to earn her own llv-
ing she can do better on the mascu-
line basis.
For some months Mrs. Jackson had
been doing the work ordinarily per-
formed by man. She was led to don
mans working attire because OF GER
tain work she anticipates doing on
several houses, jobs that will neces-
state her climbing ladders. standing
on swinging stagings and other peril
