CUBAN HIT IS
i
BY II. S.

(Ry Associated Press Correspondence)
HAVANA, March 10—The long
studied plan for the reorganization of
the Cuban army, by which its efllc.
lency will be increased, is now going
into operation. The most importaant
feature is the extinction as a sepa
rate corps, of the famous Rural guard.
This corps was organized as a mount
mi constabulary force by Col. Hugert
| Slocum, of the United States artny,
' and based on the fine body of men
known as the Guardia Civil of the
days of the Spanish domination.
The Rurales will he merged in the
cavalry of the regular army, which
will be composed of six full regiments,
armed and equipped on the model of
the United States cavalry, of which
five regiments will he assigned to
service as rural constabulary and one
to regular military duty, to be sta
tioned, in all probability, at Havana.
The number of infantry regiments
will be reduced from two to one, to
be stationed in garrison at Camp Co_
lumbia. The artillery will consist
of one regiment, Including the batter
ies of field and mountain guns and a
corps of coast defense artillery which
’ will also be trained ns Infantry. The
machine gun force, which hitherto has
been a separate organization, will he
divided into squads to be attached, to
the various cnvarly and infantry
units in accordance with modern prac
tice. There will also be a general
staff and n staff corps.
The whole force will aggregate
somewhat more than ten thousand
men of all arms and the President,
for the first time, becomes the com
■ mander-ln.chlef of the forces on land
and sea. MnjoH-Gendral Mendieta
will be the immediate qommander
of the army, and under him Brigadier
General Avalos, for many years com.
mander of the rural guard and gener
ally esteemed by American officers
who have served here, as the best
soldier in Cuba. Plans are also in
contemplation for the formation of a
reserve force, and the reorganization
of the navy.
The placing of the national forces
on a strong footing meets with the
general approval of Cubans. Some
fears were entertained that in the
event of the United States being drawn
r into the European conflict Cuba might
not be able to hold aloof and that an
attempt might be made by some Eu
ropean power to violate her neutral,
ty. For the same reason interest
is reviving in the long protracted tie
viations for the cession to the Unit
ed States of certain lands in the vi
cinity of Guantanamo Bay, which are
supposed to be essential to the ef
fective fortification of the naval sta.
tion.

5 THEATRES ARE AGAIN
WELL PATRONIZED
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
VIENNA, March 10—Notwithstand
ing the war the Viennese theatres
have been doing an excellent busi.
nesB, especially the Imperial Hofburg
theatre and the Imperial Opera house.
Both of these were closed for some
weeks after the usual date for re-op
ening, pending arrangements with the
leading actors and singers for a re
ductlon of salaries. Finally It wa;
agreed that all salaries of less than
fourteen hundred and forty dollar;
per year should remain untouched,
but the higher ones should be re.
duced fifty per cent. This was done
in view of the fact that the number ol
performances would be reduced to
four a weelf and the prices of admis
sion reduced one-half. The conse
quence was that the public flocked to
the Opera and Hof burg and both ol
the houses were sold out at every
performance.
It was understood that this ar_
rangement was only temporary. Now
the prices of seats have been ad
vanced twenty per cent, and the high
er paid actors and singers receive
seventy-five per cent of the salaries
paid to them before the war.
Under the new schedule boxes in
the Imperial Opera house cost from
four to ten dollars—each holds four
persons; parquet seats from eighty
cents to two dollars and twenty cents;
seats in the three galleries from twen
ty-six to eighty cents. Standing
room on the floor behind the parquet,
twenty-four cents, and in the third
and fourth galleries respectively, six
teen and twelve cents.

INIS ENGLISH TAUGHT
IN GERMAN SCHOOLS
(By Associated Press Correspondence
BERLIN, March 10 The much moot
ed plan to abolish the study of English
In the German public schools, is
strongly opposed by Albert Bockel

academy, in an interview in the Rhein
isli-Westfaeiische Zeitung.
lie declares that, much as patriot
ic student may regret it. English will
undoubtedly continue to be the trade
language of the world and that, so
far from ceasing to learn It, Germans
should become proficient in it.
Quite as unreasonable as the propo
sition is to put the ban on English
in Germany, he says, is the talk in
England to forego German in favor of
“simple, rich and musical" Russian,
Serbian, Flemish or Japanese. The
Germans, he says, might as well take
up Turkish.
“Even the most brilliant victory ov
er England,” declares Herr Bockel.
mann, “and its various dependencies,
will not mean that English as a uni
versal trade language will be easily
displaced. More than ever will the
German youth, going out into the
world to make a living, have need of
knowing English. For if he does he
can in the friendly 'blockade' of trade,
sink the boat of his opponent. More
than ever before, if we are to live the
'practical life' the slogan must be
‘learn English.’
"That after the war the world will
have to learn German we believe to
be a fact. Even England will have
to take an interest in the language
of the German ‘barbarians’ in spite of
the ‘wealth, simplicity and music’ of
Russian. And the national conscious
been so strengthened by the war that
the care and growth of the German
language In North America is sure
to do promoted.
"Our own beautiful, vlri’e, well con
structed German tongue would suffer
endlessly if it were to become the uni.
versal medium of every dav Inter
course. Wherever we may require 11
—and we hope that we shall require
it, the world will have to find it ton

were a terrible pity for it to become
the jargon of universal ports and the
patter of the highways and byways
of the world. German must be the
language of masters.”

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
YOKOHAMA, March 10 The pro
ject of sending a Japanese army to
Europe is to be pushed still further
by those who have proposed the idea.
A mass meeting was held here on
Eeby. 4, and largely attended by
those who cheered the chauvinistic
speeches. The following resolution
was adopted:
"The association advocating the dis_
patch of Japanese troops to Europe
pledges Itself to do its best to induce
the Imperial government to arrange
with the governments of Great Brit
aln, Prance and Russia, the terms on
which Japanese troops are to be dis
patched to Europe, in compliance
with their desire. With this end
in view the present association will
try to create public opinion on this
subject."
Shuroku Kuriowa, editor of thp
Yorodzu, a newspaper which has been
active in support of the plan of send
ing troops to Europe, declared in a
speech at the meeting that if the pres,
ent war should end in victory for the
Germans, the future of Japan would
be in danger. He held that it was
important that Japan should do all
in her power to avert such an issue.
He also said if the allies were victo
rious their influence would necessar
ily extend to the East and an alii
(
ance with these powers would be
necessary. Under these circumstan.
ces he believed Japan would do well
to render assistance at the present
time.
He spoke of a third possibility,
namely, that if the war should be
a long one, to the exhaustion of the
belligerant powers, it would be Inev
itable that the United States would
gain the ascendancy, in which event
he thought pressure would be brought
to bear upon Japan by the United
States.
Korehiro Kurahara a member of
parliament also spt.'<e He asked
why the Japanese people acted as If
the war were brought to an end with
the fall of Tsingtau. The present,
he said, was a most critical period
for Japan, and it was the duty of the
nation to give full play to the Yamato
nesspirit characteristic of the Japan
ese people and to dispatch troops to
Europe without delay.
