Twenty-seven alleged bootleggers were arrested during the week. There were also 58 arrests for alleged posses- sion of intoxicants and 16 for trans. porting.

Getsinger, an astronomer and searcher after antiquity, has re- cently asserted that he has traced the origin of 20 different languages to the signs of the zodiac. He referred to his study as the principles of ‘“zodial- phaby,” and he also said that astron- omy had been found to have originally been a religious science familiar to the intelligent classes more than 12,000 years ago. Zodiacal emblems, he said, were originally tribal or brotherhood signs, which later became letters of the modern graphic systems of com- munication. l added | D.

Would Lead or “Bust.” When the latter entered the sick chamber, however, he found Gen. Miles already partially dressed and vigorously insi ng th: he would lead the parade or bust.” Anxiously remonstrating, the vounger pleaded that it would kill the veteran warrior. But Gen. Miles looked him straight in the eye, drew himself up to rigid military attention and re plied: “Young man, you don’t know me. Why, twice I was ‘mortally’ wounded in the Civil War, yet here 1 am. You may expect me to be on hand the day of the parade.” With that Gen. Miles summarily dismissed his chief of staff. It is said that the grizzled veteran was only prevented from carrying out his deter- mination by friends and relatives hiding all of his clothes. As a result he could find no outer garments in which to make his appearance. That episode, howeve proved that the v sing vears had robbed Gen. Miles of none of the dogged determination of cha that had marked his lentire car and stamped him as a | soldier of outstanding ability. Scored Bolshevism. Gen. Miles was ever mindful of new dangers that arose to confront Amer- ica. Just one week before his death, in an address before the District of Columbia Chapter of American War Mothers, he uttered a plea for de- fense against the menace of Bolshe- vism, but in the same breath declared that he could trust the mothers of the boys and men who had bravely died on the battlefields of the past to rise up and send out again an army of loyal manhood to thrust back this new enemy if the occasion should arise. Your lives have inspired true pa- triotism,” Gen. Miles told the War Mothers. “Your lives have inspired noble ambition and exalted character in the hearts and minds of the brave and the true. You have encouraged the purest and best principles that can actuate the human heart: you | have won for yourselves the highest honors for the patriotism you have promoted, our safeguard and our glory. I salute you.” Perhaps no figure, not even that of the newly elected Vice President, whom the throngs had come to see, excited so much enthusiastic recogni- | tion as that of Gen. Miles when he red at the charity inaugural st March. It was nearly mid- night when the old soldier stepped into the Vice President's box. Dancers ceased their rhythmic steps and even the noise of the orchestra was drowned as Gen. Dawes walked up to the railing with his arm around the broad shoulders of Gen. Miles. For several minutes every one in the room stood, cheering and applauding. Subdued Savages. One By one Gen. Miles had subdued the hostile Indian mations, including the followers of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph and Natchez, and finally the surrender of Geronimo opened up at last the passes to the land bevond the Rocky Mountains for the expansion of civilization to the shores of the Pacific. During the inaugural ceremonies of President Roosevelt Gen. Miles and Geronimo met once more and rode in the inaugural parade together. With the bitter campaigns of the past forgotten, they met as old friends. n the Civii War, though wounded four times, Nelson A. Miles was one of the outstanding figures, “the boy general.” It was his division that was being engaged b Stonewall Jackson at the time the Confederate general was mortally wounded by his own troops. Although once felled by a bullet that was then believed to have struck a mortal blow, he refused to leave the field and directed his men until the tide turned. The story of that fight, and others of the same war, is best told by a writer of the period, who, in an article in The Star, said: cte Story of the Fight. “It required some grim soldiery and hard fighting to destroy the army of Northern Virginia, and they were no carpet knights who fought from first Bull Run to Appomattox. The Union was sternly resolved to pay the price, however great, and men _like Nelson A. Miles supplied the where- With. No other soldier of that war participated in more bloody battles than he, and many and grievous were the wounds that testify to his duty done. He was voung and a veteran. Grant, McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, Hancock, Sumner, Howard, Couch, Kearney, Richardson, Cald- well and Barlow are some of his su- periors who praised his conduct and urged his promotion. “He was at Yorktown, Willlamsburg, Seven Pines, Fair Oaks. Peach Orchard, Savage Station, White Oak Swamp, Nelson's Farm, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Snickers Gap, Fredericks- burg, Chancellorsville, Bristow Sta- tion, Auburn Hill, Mine Run, the Wilderness, Po River, Spottsylvania, Tolapotamy, North Ann, Cold Harbor, Petersburg _ Mine. Reams Station, Hatcher’s Run, Five Forks, Suther- land Station, Amelia Springs, Sailors Creek, High Bridge, Farmville and ‘Appomattox. His division was the advance from Richmond to Appomat- tax. He belonged to the glorious Second Corps, commanded by Han- cock, and it was the tenth legion of the Army. There was a while that Miles was in command of it, though only a brigadier general of volunteers, and he a young man of but 25. The corps then numbered more than 1,000 effectives for each of the years of his It simply rained brevets. He four times wounded—Fair Oaks, Chancelorsville and was Fredericksburs, Petersburg. ““We can only speculate as to what would have been had Stonewall Jack- son not been wounded at Chancellors | ville. He had driven the enemy, and when the fatal messenger summoned him he was placing his command in position whence the enemy would have been necessitated to drive him or die. But there is no speculation as to the conduct of Miles in that battle. It was gallant and glorious Desperately wounded and it was sup- posed mortally, he refused to leave the fleld, and fought with that tena- clous valor that has ever character ized the Anglo Saxon in war. At Spotsylvania Miles led his bri- gade through the slaughter house so famous as the “Bloody Angle.” If we except some of the veterans of Napoleon we shall have to go back to some of the warriors Gibbon tells us of for soldiers who saw as much dangerous service as Miles had seen | when he had only completed his twenty-sixth year. When the war was over Gen. Miles was a part of the army of occupa tion and an instrument of what they called “reconstruction,” a sort of euphony in the nomenclature of the statesmanship of that period, the consequences of which will endure for a great while in the future. When the war with Spain broke out Gen. Miles made meny important recommendations, which, if followed, it is said by his friends, would have greatly reduced the cost and increased the efficiency of the Army. He did not believe in "assembling an immense army, illclad and imperfectly equip. ped, nor did he see the nece. there- for.” He regarded the war as mainly « naval problem, and realized that the destruction of the Spanish fleet would leave the Spanish drmy in Cuba cut oft from all supplies and communica- tion with the home government, so that its capture would be rendered an easy matter. He urged the immediate capture of Porto Rico, and was strong- ly in favor of aiding the Cubans with arms, ammunition and necessary sup- plies. Before war was declared. under his direction, the effective force of the Regular Army was mobilized at Chickamauga, New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa, and considerable quanti- ties of war material were sent to the Cuban army. the war the Regular Army, although consisting of only 25,000 men, was well equipped, organized and discip- lined and prepared for immediate serv- ice. There were only equipments for urged therefore that the volunteer troops called into service be kept in their respective States uatil they could be properly equipped and organized. He took steps to obtain operation of the Cuban forces in east ern Cuba, and by his direction they were so disposed by their commanders that they aided greatly in the capture of Santiago. While at Tampa izing the first expedition for Santiago he requested authority to accompany that expedition or to organize imme- diately another and join the first, and afterward to go to Porto Rico. but this request was not granted, and in- stead he was directed by telegraph to return to Washington. Later, when the Army before San- tiago was seriously involved, he was authorized to go there at once with reinforcements, and arrived July 11. On the 13th he met Gen. Toral, the Spanish commander, in conference under a flag of truce, and demanded the surrender of the Spanish forces by noon on the following day. In the meantime he had arranged for a com- bined attack by all the naval and military forces. The Spanish cor mander was no’ fied that hostiliti would commence at that time should he not surrender. Before the hour arrived, on the morning of July 14, Gen. Toral agreed to surrender, not only the garrison of Santiago, but all the troops in his department. The commissioners to arrange the details of ftulation having been appointed, Gen. Miles proceeded to Guantanamo Bay to organize the ex- pedition for the capture of FPorto Rico. On the 21st of July he sailed with 3,314 men, although there was force of 17,000 Spanish regular Porto Rican volunteers on that island at the time. The objective point se- lected for landing, Point Fajardo, on the northeast coast of the island, was changed by the general while en route to that of Guanica, on the south coast, in consideration of subsequent information and for other reasons. A landing was made there Jul and after two engagements with the Spanish troops Ponce was occupied July 27. The landing of our troops at an unexpected point took the enemy completely by surprise. The campaign was admirably planned and executed, the island being practically taken by strategy. In consequence of the careful disposition of the {roops there was but small loss of ife. Civillan in World War. ‘When the World War drew Amer- ica into the vortex of strife Gen. Miles believed he was still young enough and in- sufficient health to again serve his country in the field, || despite his years. But he pleaded in vain, and perhaps one of the bitterest disappointments of his life was nis tailure to obtain some position of im- portance with the American forces in 1917. He worked faithfully, however, in his enforced civilian role here in ‘Washington. CIVIL WAR RECORD CITED. Orie of Conflict’s Most Heroic Figures, Acting Secretary Davis Says. Dwight F.

He received the congressional medal of honor for distinguished gallantry in the battle of Chancellorsville, Va., May 3, 1863, while holding with his command a line of abattis and rifie pits against a strong force of the enemy until he was severely wounded. “After entering the Regular Army Gen served in a number of In- dian aigns, in which he was markedly successful; and as a general officer he commanded at different times the Departments of the Colum- bia, the Missouri, Arizona and the Zast, and the Divisions of the Pacific {and of the Missouri.
