"The estimate of Whitney':

one who was mcreor less 'inti

other man in the United States.

of the navy he as a compara

four years as secretary of th-

Our Un-Militiry War Secretary.
Secretary Tatt does not pre-
tend to be much' of a soldier and
has to take a good many jokes on
his incomplete knowledge of mili-
tary matters. The other night at
the banquet of the Virginia Mili-
tary institute men he made a
speech on the war depatment. in
which he humorously disclaimed
any pajticjilar acquaintance with
the ways of the army. "When 1
was on my way home from Ma-
inila" he said "I stopped in Japan.
As secretary of war I was invited
to inspect the Japanese army. I
did and told the officers the army
was all right. .As a matter of fact
was trembling in my boots all
the time for fear some one wouh!
ask me what was the calibre of r
