PORTO RICO IS NOT YET READY
 F0RSTATEH00D

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 12 Correspondence of the Associated Press). That Porto Rico is not pre- pared for either statehood or inde- pendence, was the opinion expressed by Senators Barbosa and Giorgetti in the course of debate in the senate yesterday. Senator Barbosa said also that the island is unprepared for im- mediate self-government.
 The debate was opened by an invi- tation of Senator Giorgetti to Senator Barbosa to dissolve both political parties in the island.
 EI invite Dr. Barbosa to dissolve the Republican party said Senator Gior- getti and I will do all can to dis solve the Unionist Party because we are wasting time. It must be under stood that both statehood and inde- pendence are long way off. Do you think we are prepared for either state hood or independence" he asked.
 We are not" replied Dr. Barbosa "A country which has the number of illiterates Porto Rico has, whose masses are without means of educa- tion and whose economic condition is deplorable, is not prepared to be either republic or a state. We have to prepare our country and provide the means for it's being politically, economically and educationally in a condition to enjoy it's sovereignity Wo are in the position today of student of medicine who has had two years of his course, who is diligent and ambitious and who wants to graduate as soon as he can, but whose professor has to say, continue your studies, you are not yet ready; when you get in your fourth and fifth years your labor will be rewarded Gentle men, you know perfectly we'll that we gre not economically prepared to be either state or republic"
 "In this I agree with Dr. Barbosa," :" said Senator Giorgetti, i've are not prepared economically for statehood or to be an independent republic
 Senator Giorgetti asked Dr. Bar bosa if he thought Porto Rico was prepared to govern itself. Dr. Barbosa replied that at the present moment it was not, because self-government sig nified government of and by the pco- p,o and for, the people, while today jt would resultsin government by part of the people only, because without preparation the people would be gov erned by the fortunate few.

FRENCH PREMIER ENJOYS
 HIS PHYSICAL EXERCISES

PARIS, April 15 Correspondence of the Associated Press) s).-Premier Clemenceau's wonderful constitution is ascribed partly to the fact that he devotes half an hour every morning to physical exercises. At eight o'clock Edouard Leroy, his gymnastic master, arrives to put him through a series of movements demanding the greatest flexibility in all parts of the body. M. Clemenceau, attired in gymnas- tic costume, endeavors to perform exactly the most difficult exercises.
 Sometimes, however, when a sudden
 idea crosses his brain, he darts from tte room to make note of his 1n- spiration.
 For years the premier has not
 missed his morning drill except for few days after the attempt made to assassinate him by Cottin, but he re- stunned it as soon as it was safe to do so. It is to this vdaily exercise that M. Clemenceau attributes his 1n- defatigable energy. Even during the most anxious hours of the German offensive he conscientiously went through the drill and found that after sleepless night it made him fit for the strenuous tasks of his office. The lesson is followed by vigorus mas sage Ten minutes later, the premier, who rises at six in the morning, win ter and summer, leaves in his car for the war office, fresh and ready for the days work.

 It was a weak, slow procession.

Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who led the entire procession 90 years later.
 The marching men were showered with flowers as they moved along to inspiring music. The tramp, tramp, tramp continued. Sherman's ''bum- mers"-the transportation brigade-re- Iieved the dramatic tension with their capers. Mounted on dejected horses and mules and carrying pigs, chickens and vegetables, they kept up stream of whimsical raillery. Others strode along with the free-md-easy gait they had learned on the famous march from Atlanta to the sea.
 Wondrous Spectacle.
 No other nation has ever seen such a spectacle-a citizen army assembled for discharge after having saved na- ton. The formal details alone remain ed before the men would be sent back to their homes to resume their peace able occupation after their duties of bloodshed. Their joy was mixed with sadness.
 They missed the rugged face of Lin coln, dear to their hearts. They missed the Grand Army of the Dead-359,528 comrades who had given their lives to make the Union whole. At the time of the Grand Review there were more than a million men enrolled in the military service of the United States, but the largest part of them could not attend the celebration, being assigned elsewhere.

 Paid For in Blood.
 The war had wrought sorrow In every home. The victorious armies had passed through 2,OOO engagements. The Grand Review had been paid for. In few days the soldiers would be civilians and would make the attempt to take up their lives where they left them at the call to war. So, they marched in their ragged uniforms, some weeping and some laughing, in the spectacular finale.
 Timid souls feared the consequence Cf releasing a million trained soldiers in time of peace and advocated some form of restraint for the veterans, but their fears were without foundation. The men who marched those days in Washington were eager to turn to lives l of service. The West and the middle West lay waiting development. h. stead of an orgy an era of labor fol- lowed. The men who made the great ,middle-western states were men from the Grand Review. ...,u...

There were cheers and tears from the crowd.
 Fifty-four years ago it took the army two days for review. In 1915 1t took less than four hours. Several sections gave their battle cries as they passed the president; cries that were hollow and lacking in volume. Others sang the war songs of 30 years ago in quavering voices. One section sang Marching Through Georgia" with brave show of spirit. They were Sherman's men.
 A fife and drum corps passed playing "Rally Round the Flag, Boys" and many of those in the presidents stand joined in the chorus. The vet erans cheered again. As each contin- gent came along there would be a burst of applause.
 It was tired pageant by the time the presidents reviewing stand was reached after a march of mile from the capitol to the White House. The men appeared exhausted when they passed. The president stood through out the entire review, removing his hat whenever the American flag passed.
 The president stood on the same spot from which President Johnson viewed the mighty host. A chilly wind tempered the sun and the sky was cloudless. It was the last Grand Re view.

 head of the column that trooped through Pennsylvania avenue and past the presidents stand. For two days, May g and 24, 1865, the stream of war-weary veterans march ed. It was the Grand Review.
 Two hundred thousand men and boys in faded blue followed their rag lged war flags In the long line that marched past the stand near the ex- ecutive mansion, from which President Johnson, his cabinet, General Grant and American and foreign notables viewed the procession. The Army of the Tennessee and the Army of Geor- gia were assembled for the last time before they were mustered out and the men sent back to their homes. The war was over.
 The fiftieth anniversary of the re- view was celebrated in 1915 in Wash ington. President Wilson wept as he watched the 10000 survivors of the Grand Review falter by.
 Wilson saw the aged and bent. John son saw the erect and strong, despite four years struggle that tired and in- vigorated them simultaneously.
 The Worlds Finest Army.
 The men who marched in '65 composed what historians have called the most efficient body of troops the world had known at that time. They were the victorious veterans of four years of desperate fighting; inured to hardship, experienced in horror and welded with discipline.
 The men who marched four years ago could scarcely stand the parade. Their lines were patroled by ambu- lances to care for those who fell by
