rs;-swell' Address In India Taken
, front Oratlon Made By Rival
Four Years Ago
I LONDON. oct. zz.-In November,
A906, Lord Curzon. Viceroy of India,
idefeated in a struggle for supremacy
iby Lord Kitchener, the g:ommander-in-
hier, resigned his office, and made his
farewell speech to India. Since that
Lime it is an'open secret Curzon and
Kitchener have not been on speaking
terms. g
I A month ago, his prolonged term of
Fommand having expired, Lord Kit-
chener delivered his farewell orntion
and sailed from India. His veiedie-
‘lory address is causing great commo-
tion in England today. Calling to his
pid the deadly parallel column, a cor-
'respondent of the Times points out the
similarity between the farewell
speeches of the two rivals. Here are
specimens of the passages which he
selects :
i

that on the pres-

On such occas-
ions as this it has
-not been unusual
-I might a1|uo.~<t
say it has been

the departing of-

sort of synopsis
of his years of

am sure you will
be 'glad to hear
that I have no in-
tention of con-

tom.
But perhaps I
may be permit-

we do not always

THIS CHIEF SEES
SUBOHDINIITES IICT
Prefect Lepine, of Paris Police,
Has Novel Methods Ot
Administration
,,
By Paul Villiers
PARIS, Oct. 22.-With the collar on
0. shabby overcoat turned up, and an
old hat over his eyes, n. little, spareu
elderly gentleman was captur`e`€i tho
other evening by a party of students
roystering in the Latin quarter. They
danced round him in a ring, made be-
lieve to scalp him, and generally rag-
ged him.
A policeman suuntered up, then.
after one look at the little, elderly
gentleman. dashed into the party, hit
out on all sides. and rescucd,.him. It
was his chief, M. Lcpinc, prefect o'
police. _
Ilis identity revealed, the stuclbnts.
not much abashcd. made amends b_\'
shouting "Vive Lepine." and insisted
on forming themselves into a bolly-
gum*d'to`s'ee him home and keep pos-
sible Apaches at bay.
M. Lepine rather' enjoyed his even-
ing. His great amusement is to play
Haroun-Al-Raschid in Paris by night.
Almost every evening after dinner he
puts on an olfl coat and shabby_.'_hat
and goes out exploring on foot. He
listenswith the idlcst, and there is no
more absorbed "b:\daud" when a horse
fails down or n cabman and a taxi
driver have a few words.
Nobody marks him, but he keeps'his
eyes open and notes every policeman
on duty. The next morning the con-
stable mny get a reprimnnd or a five
franc piece, and wonders what invis-
ible power detected him in remissness.
or saw him doa kind dcod. to punish
or reward him afterward.
The other night u. policeman found
o. newborn baby in a doorway, picked
it up tenderly, and took it to \ _the
police station. Oi' course M. Lepino
managed to hc there at the moment.
and, unrecognized. followed the man
into the station, sat on a chair in a
corner and watched. The constable-
nurso did his best in the ri\vkwnr<l cir-
cumstances. but his chiefs did not. The
commissnry of poiieo was not there,
though he ought to have been on duty.
The little, elderly gentleman in the
corner asked tiuiidly whether Mon-
sieur the Commissary would como
shortl ?
"\viIm's uint to your" sud the de-
puty. - ‘_
“I should ‘Ike to seo him.
"Would y i indeed? Thin come
again." _
"When shall I come?"
"Don't ask questions; the Commis-
sary is not at your book and cali."
The iiiiic. elderly gentleman Wns
crushed. and went out. But the next
day Messrs. the Commissary and his
deputy were suspended.
On unother night. LL ll0ll!inir W0! Unfi-
1\-'l. Lcpinc, soukcil, bespdttcrcd with
mud und umlirelinicss, went up to a
constable at the door of a police sin-
tion and asked if he might go in and
wnrm himself 11 hit.
"(`ome along in, old shnp, mid sit
bv the stove," said one policeman, and
another poked the ilrc in the grate to
make it lurn up. “I put your names
down for  ten frnes reward each,"
said M. Lcpinc, unhotioning his cunt,
and taking off his hat, to tho aston-
ished constnbles.

,fl BERLIN. Oct. 22.-The kaiser is at
loggerheads again with_ his subjects
because they have dared to criticize
his inordinate passion fo.r traveling.
They allege he is responsible for the
mi-shops to the zeppeun 111. eirsnip
because he commanded Count Zeppelin
to make his appearance in Berlin on
August 28, although the veteran aero-
naut had not tried the ship.
The imperial instructions added that
any later date wdtlltl interfere with the
War Lord's" traveling arrangements.
His hobby for traveling has also in-
terfered with important state business,
and it is said a man under sentence
of death was kept in suspense for nve
months because the kaiser was unable
to consider his case earlier. The pris-
oner was finally ordered to be exe.
cuted.
v U I I
Bitter resentment is ex-pressed in
Germany over the proposal. of M. Han-
totaux, former French foreign seem-
tary, to augment the Republican arm)
by drafting 300,000 Algerian and Tun-
isian troops into regular service for
employment in ease of emergency on
French soil in Europe. German com-
mentators point out that “French des-
peration over inability to keep pace
with G¢~rrunny's vaultlug population
is intcliiglv.c," but the most serious
objection would be held to any attempt
no overcome tho disparity, as far no
the army is concerned, by tho employ-
ment of colored soldiers." \
“It is o. German maxim,” says the
frequently inspired Post, "not to in.
terfere in the internal affairs of other
nations. This proposed reorganization
of the French army, however, is a
matter Germany cannot view slkentiy
and with folded arms.
"‘An increase .of French military
strength on the basis proposed by Ill.
Hanotaux constitutes a'future men-
M30 in GOI'mflnY. and _one we would
require to meet with appropriate coun-
ter measures. Troops recruited for
France for service south of the Medi-
terranean may do very well as pioneers
of French cuitpre, but they dare not
appear as French soldiers on Ger-
'many’s frontiers.
"In rt country where universal ser-
vlco prevails, protest must be -raised
against s. project so inimical to civili.
zation. German soldiers woufd regard

of Holland is more than ever secured.l
During my recent holiday I had thol
honor of being presented to' Hoa
Majesty, Queen Wilhelmixzo. The beau-
tiful young queen of Holland is ver
proud of her small kingdom. Perhaps
even more so than Queen Elizabeth
and Catherine of Russia were oi' tlieir|
vast dominions. -

tw:-niy, and they are permitted ab-
soiuic freedom in their friendships
and intercourse. The men hold the
honor of the women very high, and
they marry invariably for love and!
not for money or position. |_

young Queen. She herself married for’
love. "To set 'the example." she said,i

Mr. Gardner, it seems, is a collector
of Napoleonic relics, not because he
is s. Bonapartlst. but because he has
