The Joyous shout, Of peace;

Death of Paymaster General Larned
From the Philadelphia Press.

The announcement of the death of Pay
master General Larned, U. S. A., printed
III our Geographic columns, will startIe
and pain very many Of the readers OF the
Press. Mr.. Larned has been in the mill
tary service Of his country for almost
half century, and in all that long period
has enjoyed the confidence and esteem not
only Of his official associates, but of a
large circle Of friends. He was native
Of Massachusetts, and was appointed from
that State on the LIST Of October, 1913. as
al ensign ia the 2istiniantry. Although
not graduate of West Point, he pos-
sessed every soldierly attribute-was
prompt, brave, generous, and always
faithful to his duties. On the goth Of
July, 1854. he was appointed to the res.
ponsible position of paymaster general,
with the rank of coloneI--a position to
which his long and efficient public servi-
ees had fairly entitled him, and which he
continued to fill until his death. The
country has lost one Of its tried and faith
full servants, whose loss will not readily be
replaced.
