to make his recent speech in the Reichstag

1t remains to be seen whether MIR. hay
will be satisfied with this explanation in
view Of the latest reports from the Shah-
tung district.
Rush orders AVE recently been forwarded
for the completion of the Shantuns Railway.
while n more aggressive policy is being pur-
sued all along the line since the announce
ment of the English alliance with Japan.
The German railway In Shantung Is cap

After Prince Henry had left the Deutsch-
land and had gone aboard the Kaiser VIII
helm II. the Kaiser and his brother sat on
the bridge. and the former encouraged the
latter. who was nothing loath. TO tell him Of
his adventures.
What Prince Henry told must have been
highly amusing. for the Kaiser was almost
overcome with hilarity. At one moment the
Kaiser. who is always rather demonstrative
when amused. gave his knee a hearty slap
and laughed and laughed again.
When Prince Henry started for the United
States the Kaiser's instructions were to
SAY little, but keep your eyes wide open.'
In the Agrarian organs the fear creeps
forth that Prince Henry saw enough to con-
vince him that a tariff war against the
United States would be the height OF folly.

In the nick of time a band Of capitalists

They rave asked permission to have a

ruined inhabitants II they welcome the OPP

The matter has gone before the Greek
Parliament. and. as the passing of the bill
is almost. certain. the establishment OF a

I "Oficers should do all in their power to
encourage healthy exercise and physical
recreation as We'll as to supply opportuni-
Ties for cleanly social and interesting NEIL
tai occupations among the men.
The young men, especially many who
have been but recently taken away from
the restraints and influences of home.
should be encouraged 10 look TO their supe-
rlors. both commissioned and noncommis-
stoned officers. and especially TO the COM
pdny, troop or battery officers. for leader
snip and support amid the temptations
around them.
Every effort should be made to promote
throughout the army a cleanly and moral
tone IN word no less than in deed. As u
nation. We feel keen pride In the valor, dis
cipiine and steadfast endurance OF our SOL
oiers' and hand in hand with these qualities
must go the virtues of self-restraint, self
respect and self-control."
P~resident's Theory of the Matter.
Concurrentiy with this. there has gone out
an order TO Manila forbidding the further
eXaction Of fees for the medical examina-
tlon OF prostitutes. or the issue 70 the wom-
en- OF certificates of their freedom from dis
ease. since these things have given rise to
Observation-Disclosures and the assumption that
our Government was countenancing the So
cial evil by issuing something in the nature
OF a license.
Heretofore women known to be profess
sional prostitutes will be compelled TO I'M
dergo examination from time to time. and
II found to lie diseased will be sent to a
hospital for treatment. The soldiers Will be
inspected regularly for the same purpose.
But an occasional hospital order. thus is-
sued, will be the only official recognition of
the existence Of a condition OF things which
no discipline can crush out. and only the
s~trictest vigilance can control, but which
the authorities could not conscientiously ig-
more.
The Presidents theory regarding this
whole matter is that moral education and
stimulation Is the only sure dependence IN
a struggle with the social evil. No law
has ever been devised which could break II
up. and the one hope Of protecting the army
against its ravages lies in cultivatins
character and a real respect for decency
among the men themselves.
No one IS better fitted to lay his hand to
this task than the President, for. whatever
his faults. he has ut least proved by his
own case tha q robust body. an adventur-
Gus spirit and greatest love of good fell
lowship are quite conscnant with n private
life sunny throughout and well ventilated
on its moral side.

Are Poets Born or Mads1

Authorities seem to agree that
poetic talent is somewhat capricious,
and that, though great poets are
great by nature rather than by train
ing. they rarely transmit their gifts to
their children. Heredity may have
some influence on their talents, but
recent investigations do not agree on
details. Francis Galton, the great
English authority, states that. with
poets and artists, the influence of
the female line is enormously LEES
than the male. while Drs. Chaslin and
Mobius, two French Investigator,
have come TO an exactly opposite con-
clusion. In recent discussion at tn
Paris ARCHAEOLOGICAL Society
DR.. Chaslin stated that the mother OF
poet is always intellectually gifted.
whereas the son of a stupid woman is
always stupid. Apparently the ques-
tion win bear further study.-Suc-
