colonel Berret was a man who was
always ready to, give his time and
money for the advancement of any pro-
ject which would in any way benefit the
District. He was at first opposed TO the
present form of government, but in
time, as he became familiar with its
workings. was one of its supporters. 1
think the District by his death has lost
one of its most valuable citizens and ar
dent supporters. There is probably no
man who was so much interested in The
affairs Of the city. with purer motives,
than was Colonel Berret"
The death Of Colonel Berret leaves the
Hon. Matthew c. Emery the sole sur
vivor among the former mayors of
Washington. Mr.. Emery was The last
mayor of the city. retiring from office
when the present form Of government
was organized.
My personal acquaintance with Col
onel Berret was slight said Mr.. Emery
last night, though officially l knew
him well. 1 always regarded him as a
thoroughly honorable and upright citi-
zen, and in all my dealings with him,
both while in office and out. 1 found him
TO be a thoroughly courteous gentle
man. His death is greatly to be re-
gretted."

Manila, Dec. 1.-THE Woman's Peace
league, organized under the leadership
of Senorita Poblete, a Filipino, has
transmitted letters with the permission
OF General Chaffee, urging peace upon
the insurgent general, Malabar and
other Filipino chiefs. These letters re
mind the Filipino leaders in the field
that war has destroyed innumerable
homes and devastated large territories,
all OF which, while it abundantly proves
the tenacity of the insurgents and their
faith in their cause, does not remove the
fact that the operations OF American
soldiers throughout the islands daily
demonstrate the resolution of the people
of the United States to make their
sovereignty respected throughout the
archipelago. The league urges the
leaders to make peace to avoid greater
evils. The woman's league has received
