tails of the service to the commits
stoned officers, greatly to the detriment of
the proper spirit of discipline, as he
thought.
He talked a great deal of the Boer war,
then lately ended, and explained the many
defeats of the English in the early part of
the war by the fact that they were so ac-
customed to playing games that when they
found themselves outgeneralled and evil
IDENTIFY unable to win battle they simply
took it like good sports and said to the
other fellow, "You have won"
He Respected the French
For the French army he had more re-
spect, but thought it weak in man power,
and he had no confidence in the fighting
powers of republic. He had just made
long journey through the East as the aide
de-camp of Prince Henry of Prussia, and
there was not port whose defences he had
not studied or observed; not a detail in
the organization of army, navy or of social
life which he had left unnoted. Every
leave Of absence had been used for travel
and observation of some region which
might later have strategic Importance. and
every social opportunity had been closely
followed up which might give him insight
into the interests, ambitions and ideals of
the country for the possibility of war was
never out of his thoughts, and when I
spoke OF the horror of such a way of
settling disputes among civilized beings
was met by look of utter lack of COM
prehension. To him such ideas seemed
mere WomaniSh Sentimentalitv
He was of the most brilliant. agree

under it all hard as nails, impervi-
Gus to any general humanitarian or altru-
istic ideas, and in all international mat
ters, to my mind, barbarian He was
ambitious to an extent that I have never
seen equalled. He felt himself to be a
practical man, and he knew that every one
must fight for his own in the struggle for
life, that the strongest and cleyerest must
be the winner; that such is the law Of
nature, and that the survival of the fttest
in nations, as among animals, is, in the
end, the best thing fer the world.

application Of the laws of biology to inter-
national affairs, which have so often since

and with which this war has made us so
sadly familiar
He was interested in all kinds of men
and women, in all social institutions, yet he
never lost sight Of the possibility that it
might one day be his duty to bring war
and destruction to these very people and
places, and this thought gave him no pain.
1t seemed to him the right and only thing.

Via Armenia
From speech by the Hon. Edward
c. Little, of Kansas, in the
House of Representatives
TIME world could make no better finan-

TIME world could make no better finan-
cial and moral investment than to
promote the best development of
Armenia. Boghos Pacha Nubar, son Of the
great Nubar of Egypt, is now the chief
spokesman of the Armenian race. He for
mulated their plans for a protcctorate and
presented them to the great powers. Recent
events have been menace to the Ar
menians so great that self-defence is their
most immediate necessity. With the
Georgians they could put 100000 men in
the field to fight the Turks.
They ask the Allies now the means to
arm equip and maintain the 100000 SOL
diers. Their best protection would be the
total defeat of the Turk, and they could not
afford to pause till that was accomplished.
Every touch of sympathy, every dictate of
reason, every requirement of our own in
terest, every rule of common sense, de-
mands that the Allies comply with their
wish for financial assistance and aid them
to attain the realization of their highest
hopes
Years ago young man Of our race
visited their country, surveying engineer,
sent by the British government from Cy-
ancient kingdom again on it's feet and set
its face to the world, result which he pro-
duced Kitchener was a man of broad con-
ceptions and thought in terms of universal
purpose. He believed that the great Eng
disappearing nations owed duty to Egypt
and Armenia, and was of that practical
turn that forced him forward to the ac-
complishment of that duty.
Americans Last to Leaue
He told me once that when the English
fleet went into the harbor of Alexandria to
stop the riot and restore order by defeat
ing the army of Arab Pacha they sug-
gested the withdrawal of all foreign ships
from that water before they should fire.
The last to leave, said Kitchener,
American ship-of-war, which circled past
the entire English fleet as it sailed out with
the bands playing and the signal flying, 81
have notion to go in with you" He be-
lleved that the world, with it's people, was a
bigger and better place than a ground for
constant warfare between different peoples.
Soon after l came home he wrote me, in his
terse sentences, his views on that subject
and his opinion that the two great nations
should be united power for good the world
over, which he expressed in his direct and
untrammelled way. He said:
Sirdarieh, Cairo, 25th March, 1894.
Dear Mr. Little: Many thanks for your con-
gratulations. l am afraid the f,ouse of Lords may
crumble and go before | reach them.
| often look back with pleasure to
sations, and still look forward to the time when
English speaking may be drawn together
by mutual interest that we shall just stop any
nonsense going anywhere.
cannot imagine why there should be any
feeling against Britishers in America. We ought
to be the closest friends.
Yours very truly,

To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
S1r: In speaking of the possible can
ddates for the position of Secretary of
Foreign Affairs in Germany, The Tribune
SAID IN it's issue of Monday, April o. "Ad-
miral Won Hinze has not, however. attained
international prominence" 1t may there
lore De OF interest to your readers to learn
something of this man from one who for
few weeks saw him quite intimately.
Some eighteen years ago l took rather
protracted voyage in Eastern waters on a
ship which carried only few passengers.
Among these were two or three German
officers on leave from duty in that part of
the world, of whom by far the most in
teresting was young "capitaine lieuten-
ant" of the German Navy, Paul Won Hnze.
During three or four weeks 1 spent
couple of hours day in his COM
pany, and finding that 1 was interested in
his career and his ideas he talked very
freely about them He has always re-
mained in my memory as the type of the
new German or Prussian, and my knowl-
edge of him has helped me to understand
the changes which have been wrought in
the old Germany-the Germany of ideal
ism, lnternatlonallsm and kindly good nat
ure, which so many of US knew and loved
A Brilliant Career
Captain Won Hinze, though still in his
thirties, had already brilliant career be-
hind him. He had distinguished himself
in his early naval training and had been
transferred after few years of active
service to the Naval Academy, which is
the greatest honor young officer in Ger
many can receive, as it trains him to be
part of the naval staff, the brains of the
navy. There Won Hinze had taken very
high rank, and had since gained rapid pro-
motion But not content with this he had
managed during his leaves of absence to
take at the University of Geneva the de-
gree of Doctor of Laws, for, he stated, "a
man who wants to make career in the
navy should be thoroughly up in interna-
tional law"

TAlIPICO.
/ /" AMPICO is one Of the vital spots
( in the strength Of the alliance
against Prussia It presents a
curious anomaly, this oil city Of
Mexico; for. with all its value to the
allies, they cannot guard it, and its
situation is none too secure. The
present state Of affairs is much like
leaving the control Of delicate ma
chinery. indispensable in some mighty
process, in the hands Of a child.
The oil Of the Tampico district Is
the life blood Of the British navy. It
is, in manner Of speaking. the life
blood Of civilization; for where civil
ization might be without the British
navy is not pleasant to contemplate.
Yet for the secure and constant sup
ply Of this precious fluid, the allied
governments are dependent largely on
the good viii OF an Independent mill
tary leader. a rebel against the au-
thority Of Carranza. So far, this man
has safeguarded the oil regions as
well as a British army corps could
have done.
Some Of the wonder wells Of the
world lie in this Tampico district,
where the very ground is oily, and
the pools Of sragnant water have a
shimmering, rainbow film of oily
slime. The names Of these wells are
known wherever men talk OIL" and
they are spoken with a respect not
far from awe by him who has imagi-
nation "CerrO AZul No. 4"-the
words call NJ a picture Of a February
morning when a raging torrent of
oil shot 500 feet into the heavens,

down to yield mankind a tanned pro-
duction Of 100000 barrels of oil every
"a hours. Even that is no record, for
Casiano No. yielded an average of
5000, 600 barrels Of oil a year for seven
consecutive years.
Mexican wells pour forth largesse
of oil that is greater than all avail

it is estimated that only one-tenth Of
