NOYES...............Edlitor, — HE EVENING STAR has a regular and circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. An a News and Advertising Medium tt has no competitor. t Exception has been taken to the parallel established in Thursday's Star, in which it was stated editcrially that “in recent times our own troops have done precisely what the Japanese scldiers at Port Arthur did.” Following up this declaration, The Star said: . “Just about four years ago there was vellision between the Seventh U. S. Cavalry and a band of Indians near Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge reservation, and it cannot successfully be denied that the enlisted men cf the command, at least, ktlled and maimed men, women and chil- dren indiscriminately, and were moved to such conduct by the memory of the fate which befell Custer ard the squadron cf the Seventh which perished with him on the Littie Big Horn sixteen years prior to the encounter at Wounded Knee.” Rejoinder ts made by an army officer whose communication is printed elsewhere in ‘The Star. Another letter was also re- ceived yesterday and signed “An ollicer of the Sixth,” but The Star trusts it will be permitted to Imagine that an officer of the Sixth Cavalry—for as the letter is dated Fort Myer “cavalry” is understood—had anything whatever to do with it; men who respect the army commandment “Thou shalt not be afraid” do not indulge in anonymous correspondence. But recurring to the letter published today, we cannot avoid saying that it was written without gocd cause. Lieutenant J. Y. Mason Blunt of the Fifth Cavalry thinks that The Star’s paragraph “might lead those unacquainted with the facts to the belief that the troops of the Seventh Cavalry at the fight at Wounded Knee were guilty of excesses equal in a measure to those reported as perpetrated by the Japanese at Port Ar- thur.” Up to this time it has not been charged that the Japanese killed women and children, but it im certain that some of the soldiers to whose defense Lieut. Blunt so loyally yet so mistakenly comes were unquestionably guilty of that heinous crime. No one blames the troopers who fired into the mixed assembly of bucks and squaws from whence showers of bullets were sent into’the surrounding troops, for discrimination was there impossible, nor does anyone accuse of urimanly conduct the marksmen who put a stop to the ac- tivity of a fighting squaw--for a fighting squaw is just as dangerous as a fighting buck—but there can be nothing but con- demnation for those wearers of the blue who, when the heated strife was Over, killed many men, women and children who could, had the soldiers so willed, have been taken prisoners. During the campaign of 1890-91 The Star had a staff correspondent In the field, and he, after thorough investigation into the fight at Wounded Knee and its causes, said: “For more than a week I have been chat- ting with’ the enlisted men who survived that fight, and the information I got was, first, to the effect that nearly every officer warred and ordered his men not to shoot at women and children, and, second, that most of the soldiers discbeyed the order. Of course, the plea of excitement of blood- thirstiness will not avail iu this case—it should not, but it ts only fair to those whom the nation has endeavored to educate up to a high standard of Christian intelligence that they be placed before the public in an equitable light. I know of one officer who repeatedly reiterated the command not to shoot women and children, and I also know of men in his troop who paid not the slightest heed to the humanely-proper or- der. * © * * Whena Hotchkiss shell bursts in the midst of a group of In- dians of both sexes then the non-com- batants are the unfortunate victims of war, for if an Indian or any one else could shoot from behind his wife's petticoats and be protected thereby things would soon be in @ regrettable condition; but when a soldier takes deliberate aim at a non-combatant, at a two or three-year-old child, at whose age is measured but by wi to see if he can hit it—then that soldier ard the organization to which he belongs must bear the odium which cannot fail in this age to follow such conduct. It is not an easy thing to sit down in quietude and seclusion, safe from the present provabil- ity of builet, the war-club and the scalping knife and lay down rules for the guidance of the man who is under fire for the first time (as most of these Seventh cavalrymen were) but that many of them are open to severe criticism I know from their own iips.” It is probable that the Japanese reprfsal for Chinese torture had many horrible fea- tures, but none of them was so thorougaly infernal as the deliberate murder of a squaw and her three little ones by soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry—a murder that was committed the day after the battle. The woman and her three little ones had somehow or other escaped the slaughter which overtook her husband—Elk Creek— and was on her way toward the agency. The haven of refuge was still twelve miles distant whgn a detachment of the Seventh Cavalry chased the terrified fugi- tives into @ Uttle patch of thick brush and, from the rising ground on one edge of the temporary shelter, poured a plung- ing volley into the bodies of the miserable refugees who were less than three feet below® them.’ It was murder of the most fiendish sort—an unarmed woman, a little girl less than seven years old, another lit- tle girl about nine years of age, and a boy of twelve. Of these The Star's correspon- dent said: “Neither sex nor helplessness could save the foot-sore wanderers. Un: and ywithout protection of any description they ‘were wantonly knowingly slain. Not ‘one of the men who fired those shots can say that he was unaware of the character ‘ef his victims, for each wound shows that ithe carbine muszles were within a few inches of the individual at whom they were aimed.” b It may be that these facts were not known to Lieut. Blunt, who, while the out- jbreak of 1890-91 was in progress, was on duty at Fort Reno, Indian Territory, but ,they were known to The Star's correspon- Gent and were the subjects of serious con- sideration by Major-General Miles. The Star has an exalted opinion of the United States Army and never hesitates to give credit where credit is due, but it insists upon its right to criticise those who do wrong and who imagine themselves se- curely entrenched behind the intensely- Joyal spirit which {s an army characteris- tic. The atrocities at Pine Ridge and the cther and more numerous atrocities at Port Arthur serve to accentuate Rivarol’s statement that “the most civilized people are as near to barbarism as the most pol- ished steel is to rust.” ——_- + e+ ——_ An eminently proper and timely recom- mendation is that in the recent report of the Secretary of War to Congress, which suggests “that the President be authorized to appoint a permanent commission, select- ‘ed from the citizens of the country, and composed of those best qualified to pass upon the matters of art involved, to whom shall be intrusted the duty of the selection of designs and sites for future monuments at the capital.” That there is and has long been great need for such a body must be apparent to every intelligent and patriotic person who has given the subject thought. Indeed, Mr. Lamont but expresses anew what has often ‘Been suggested before, in one form or ital. It is earnestly to be hoped, therefore, that the recommendation so fitly made will not fall upon deaf ears or unwilling dispo- sitions in the two houses of Congress, where the responsibility for mistakes or short- comings in the direction indicated must rest. Nor should action in the premises be delayed. There is much being done, and much mote contemplated, that calls for consideration and supervision at the hands of such a body as is proposed. Had a com- mission of that character, composed of com- petent persons, and clothed with adequate powers, been in existence long ago the national capital, and consequently the country at large, would have been spard4 some inflictions that may well arouse indig- nation or cause a blush of shame. For, that we have in Washington, ‘as in other cities in the country, some so-called works of art that narrowly escape being mon- strosities and others that are searcely’toler- able for want of merit, cannot well be de- nied. Nor is it their quality alone that is open to criticism. The means adopted to foist some of them upon the public are even more to be censured. This much is unhappily true, and it ought to be said, alike in the interest of true art and in the hope of preventing like causes for dolor in future. But it would be unjust to stop here, and say no more. That which is excellent should not suffer in public es- teem with that which ts bad or poor. Take, for example, the matter of our equestrian statues, about which so much that is both unwise and unfair has been said. Of these we have some that justly take rank in the estimation of competent critics as high class. In fact, it is maintained by persons capable of judging, and who have traveled widely and observed closely, that, taken altogether, good, indifferent and bad, Wasn- ington will not compare unfavorably in this respect with most of the cities, great and small, in the old world, notwithstand- ing all that has been said to her disparage- ment. That there are not to be found in Europe some modern groups that are superior to any we can show is not to be denied. Nor ts it surprising; but it does not require all the fingers on the hands of two persons to tell off all such that are bet- ter than our best. Furthermore, though it may not help our case any, yet it can be truthfully added that there are plenty to be seen in other countries—even in some that lock with contempt upon the artistic aspi- rations of America—that are quite as atro- cious as our worst. So that, all in all, we are, by comparison, not quite so badly off in this respect as is commonly allege@ This fact does not, however, lessen the need of such a commission as is proposed. On the other hand, it distinctly emphasises the importance of having an offictal vody of men whose knowledge, good taste and in- tegrity will stand as a strong wall of de- fense against such mistakes as have been made in the past, and upon whom the coun- try can rely for the encouragement of that which is good in art, whether of sculpture or painting, and the withholding of support from that which is bad or unworthy. _—— soo An organization in which every man and woman wHo is proud of being an American should be more than superficially inter- ested is the Memorial Association of the District of Columbia. A three-fold purpose has the association—it desires to preserve the most noteworthy houses at the National Capital that have been made historic by the residence of the nation’s greatest mer; it aims to suitably mark, by tablets or otherwise, the houses and places throughout the city of chief interest to our own resi- dents and to the multitudes of Americans and foreigners that annually visit the capi- tal; it is bent on cultivating that historic spirit and that reverence for the memories of the founders and leaders of the Repub- lic upon which an intelligent and abiding patriotism so largely depends. Hencefor- ward the Memorial Association ‘will have the hearty support of the Board of Trade, the co-operation of that body having been brought about through the eloquently clear statement made at the last meeting of the Board of ‘Trade by the Rev. Teunis 8. Ham- lin, D.D., vice president of the association. ‘The board unanimously endorsed the asso- ciation’s objects and will undoubtedly, in accordance with*a resolution adopted Tucs- day night, do as much ay It possibly can to aid the good work. —— ++e—_—__ ‘There were about forty-one men employed upon the city post-ollice building today. Once upon a time, when hope was active, it was figured out that forty-one men might possibly complete the structure by May 13, 1898, but it has been evident for quite awhile that forty-one mea would overexert themselves if they got the place ready for business much prior to the beginning of the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1919. Two years, nine months and thirty days have vanished into the never-to-be-recovered past since the job wes commenced yet the stone-work of the second story is still in- complete. —_-- + = ‘The attorney general of Louisiana has officially discovered that the glove contests of the Olympic Club are genuine prize fights.

A growing city like Washington cannot get along without public improvements, and the questions to be considered are their necessity and the honest expenditure of the people's money. Labor organizations are as well equipped to decide these questions as any other body of men. If the improve- ments are approved they sh®uid be advo- eated and supported in an earnest, hearty manner. If condemned, every effort should made to defeat them, always bearing in mind the fact that no improvement should be opposed that is n brings employment and bread and butter to idle working- Springer, chairman of the banking and cur- rency committee, presented the amend- ments to the measure agreed upon by the democratic members of the committee.
