Reconstruction in the Waller Case

The case of ex-Consul Waller is dragging
rather strangely. Months have passed since
he was brought as a prisoner from NADIA
gascar to Marseilles and since Mr.. Eustis
was instructed to inquire into the matter.
That our ambassador Is likely to look after
American rights may be assumed, but up to
the. latest accounts he has not seen a copy
or the court martial record. although one
has been promised. The whole performance
Is singular. There is a strong impression in
some quarters that Mr.. Waller did not de-
liberately act the spy. and that if he was
1ndiscreet in describing the proposed French
movements In letters to his wife, yet he
must have dealt with matters of common
knowledge, and that the sentence pronounced
on him was harsh, not to say preposterous.
But, just or unjust, the facts on which 1t
was founded should be made known.

Those Feet.

Most of us do not give as much attention to cur faithful servants down on the ground there as we ought to. We keep them cooped mp in tight, leather cases, away from sun and air and free exercise, and yet expect them to perform their work without complaint.
 Perhaps the golden rule might be well ap- piled to our treatment of our feet At any rate, they should be clad and housed in con- fort and cleanliness at all times, Summer de- mands that the feet have hosiery and shoes specially suited to the season-thin, cool, easy and frequently changed.
 Some people wear thick winter shoes all the summer, and as for socks, they never think of substituting any lighter weight for those worn in cold weather. Yes, and there are people who wear red woolen underwear all summer, too, but that does not prove the wisdom of doing either. Comfort with the feet goes long way toward comfort for the whole body.
