TRUE WORLD POWER
TALKED OF BY SHEPARD

Founders Day Celebrated by Tu-
Iane University.
New Orleans, March 12-Founders'
fous departments OF Tulane University
Of Louisiana The ceremonies took
place at Tulane theater and the inn
portance of the occasion was Increased
by the presence Of Edward NJ Shepard
of New York, and President Robert C.
ogden of the Southern Educational
Conference. Mr.. Shepard made an
address which received close attention.
His topic was Modern Power of World
Public Opinion" He said in part:
Sometimes il is said. / think alb
surd1y, if not ALPHABETICALLY, that 1t
was only five years ago, during our
Spanish War, that the United States
really became a world power The
saying seems to me quite untitled to
the true place in military and naval
power and the material respect of the
world, which our nation has held since
Jackson's victory over British veterans
Is years ago, or stree the announcement
Of the Monroe doctrine or since the
resolute assertion during Jackson's
presidency of our rights against foreign
countries, or since our stupendous ex-
hibition of military power during the
Civil war or since. We have for gene
rations been a veritable world power,
even If until lately we did not pass
under the glamour of imperial or
colonial policy.
Il beg of you to observe, however.
that 1t is not of world powers OF which
j am now speaking, but Of world pow
er. In due time we shall escape from
the policing of the earth by iron and
blood; at least, that police will move
only rarely, and when insensate folly
shall be deaf to the command of an
enlightened and benevolent world SEN
timent. The ultimate risk, even from
a military or NAVAL point of view, or
that of commerce or finance, of Offend
ing that world sentiment, will be more
serious than the risk of some specific
and immediate Offense against any
one of the war lords of great nations.
Already such a true world power,
slight though it be to what the future
will bring controls from day to day
specific national acts over very popu-
lous land and travelled sea within the
$50 degrees of latitude; already are
there world sentiments of right and
wrong, of justice, of spoilation, of
mercy and cruelty, or glory and
shame.
Within the past few weeks an event
not in itself of capital Importance has
given us another illustration, perhaps
the most striking yet, of the power of
world power sentiment now fully
come of age. But a month or two ago

North Atlantic Squadron busy Mt
Pensacola,
Pensacola, Fla, March 12.-Admiral
Higginson, commander in chief of the
North Atlantic Squadron, has an
nounced that the battleships compos-
ing the squadron will remain in PEN
sacola harbor for nearly two months
longer, leaving here during the first
portion of May. The original pro-
gramme was for the ships to sail for
Norfolk during the early portion Of
April, remaining here only a little over
one month, but inasmuch as they are
now engaged in various drills ashore
and in the harbor it is thought best
that they stay at Pensacola.
The Texas is receiving repairs at the
navy yard, and many of the vessels
are getting necessary overhauling, es-
pecially to the machinery, after three
months of constant running In addi-
ton to this, the Illinois will go to New
Orleans to be locked in about three
weeks, and probably remain at least
two weeks. The new Maine is hourly
expected from Norfolk to join the fleet.
A few days after the Names arri-
val she will go out into the open Gulf,
accompanied by some of the other
ships, when a test Of her speed will be
made.

sarge, who were rendered a reception
by the officers of the fleet.

DON'T BRIGHTEN SHAW
He Is Not Disposed to Let Wall Street Shape the
Governments Financial Policy

cial troubles is to rush to the United
States Treasury for relief
AT the Treasury Department it is
said that there are no indications of
financial distress throughout the West
and the South. and there is no falling
OFF in the business prosperity which
the official records show to the prevail
ing in all sections of the country.
1T is the easiest thing imaginable"
said a treasury official to-day, for
the stock operators in New York to
create a serious financial condition.
They seem to build the impression
that the interests of a few Spectators
in New York are paramount to the
wishes and desires of the more con-
sentative business men beyond the
bounds of Manhattan Island. There
have been no calamity bowls from
the South or the West, nor petitions
nor appeals for government assistance
from the business centers elsewhere.
The Secretary has been urged to re-
peat the experiment he tried last
summer of receiving state and munich
pal securities for loans to various
banks for funds from the national
treasury. The Secretary has also been
appealed to to go into the open mar
ket and purchase government bonds
at a premium. Thus far Secretary
SHAW AdS IS1L litdl lIG are
not such as to justify such action at
this time
On the other hand, some of the con-
servative financiers of the country
claim that money is becoming tight
because of the enormous amounts COW
cred into the treasury from the reve-
nues and owing to the lack of facili-
ties on the part of the Secretary of
the Treasury to keep the money in
circulation. They claim that heavy
drafts have been made on the New
York banks by. their Southern and
Western customers because of the

1t is also asserted that one of the
principal reasons for financial unrest
is the report persistently circulated
to the effect that a bitter and desper-
ate financial war is threatened be-
tween the rival forces headed by ].
P1erpont Morgan on one side and ].
ID. Rockefeller on the other. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury shows no dis
position to become unduly excited over
these sensational reports, and is conf
dent that, with heavy surplus reve-
nue. in the treasury, he will be able
to meet all the legitimate demands
of the business interests of the coun-
try.

EZRA KENDALL BUYS LAND.
Actor VIII Establish His six Sons
In Farming.
By r. M. T,arner

10y H. 4h. IAdIlCIs
Washington, March 12.-Ezra Ken
dali, the popular comedian, who is
playing the Vinegar Buyer" at the
Columbia Theater here this week, to-
day became a farm buyer in this vi
cinity to the extent of 900 acres. Mr..
Kendall has six sons.
For a long time he has contemplated
buying piece of property in Wash
ington or its immediate vicinity upon
which to establish his boys in some
selfsupporting business. Negotiations
have been in progress for some time
past through Manager Lockett OF the
Columbia rheater, and the deal has
been completed by which Mr.. Kendall
becomes the owner of 600 acres of de-
sirable farm land at Bennings, one of
the most f1ourishing and growing sub
urbs in the northeastern section of the
District of Columbia. 1t is the inten-
ton of Mr.. Kendall to divide the prop
erty eqally among his six boys. Each
one of them is to have a hundred-acre
farm, TO cultivate it according to his
individual tastes.
The young Kendalls are enthusiastic
over the prospect of being permanent
~ located in the vicinity of the ma
tional capital, and there is to be a
lively competition among them as to
which will derive the best results from
the property bestowed on them by
their generous father. The land is ad-
bly, adapted for truck farming, as
it is located near the eastern branch
of the Potomac river. Part of it is
timber land and the remainder is well
watered and fertile and susceptible to
prosperous cultivation.
1t is understood that Mr.. Kendall in
tends to build comfortable home for
himself and family on the property,
where he will reside when not active
ly engaged in his profession.
