SECRETARY OF STATE
JOHN HAY DEAD
Unlocked For Termination Of His Long
Struggle For Life.
RELAPSE CAME AS A SURPRISE.
The Secretary Was Thought to Be on the
Road to Speedy Recovery and Was Sleeping
Quietly at Eleven o'cIock-At Midnight he
Called the Nurse and In Half An Hour
He Was Dead.

Newbury, n. II. (SpeciaD .-Secre-
tary of State John Hay died at 1925
Saturday morning The signs immedi-
ately preceding his death were those of
pulmonary embolism. Mr.. Hays condi-
ton during all of Friday had been en-
tirely satisfactory.
The bulletin of Secretary Hays death
was signed by Charles L. Scudder, NJ.
D., and Fred. T. Murphy, NJ. d.
Pulmonary embolism is the clotting of
blood in the lungs and blocking up of
the air passages.
Secretary Hay was prostrated by an
attack of ur9mia at his summer home
at this place last Sunday evening, but
had soon been relieved by a local physi-
clan and two specialists who bad come
from Boston by special train, and it
was expected that the Secretary would
soon be in his usual health.
The attack, which was similar to 9TH
ers experienced by Secretary Hay dur
ing recent years, was attributed to 4
cold contracted on his journey from
Washington to Newberry last Saturday.
From Tuesday Secretary Hays con
dition continued apparently to improve,
and no danger was apprehended as late
as early Friday evening.
Mrs. Hay and Drs. Scudder and Muir
ply were at the Secretary's bedside
when the end came. The Secretary
bade good night TO his wife and to his
attending physicians about 10 o'clock,
at the close of one of the best days he
had had since his illness. The local
trouble was clearing up satisfactory, sc-
cording TO DR.. Scudder.
The Secretary suffered none of the
old pains in his chest which character
lied his earlier illness. He had been
perfectly comfortable all day and happy
in the anticipation of leaving his bed
for the greater freedom and comfort of
a couch.
At II o'clock he was sleeping quietly.
few minutes after II he called the
nurse, who at once summoned DR.. Scud-
der
Both Dr. Scudder and DR.. Murphy
hastened to the bedside. The Secretary
was breathing with difficulty, and ex-
pired almost Immediately afterward, at
1928.

THE ANSWERING CHORD.
sY SANNIE nYRp runNEn.


The city's tumult surges high
here mere IN this noisy, struggling street;
With fretful voice and hurried feet
The restless morning march goes by.
"A thousand sounds are born and die,
But one, that will not faint nor fail.
Keeps up its slow monotony-
An old street-organ's plaintive wall
A beggar, tremulous and blind,
LIS playing dreary airs that must
Earn from the world a daily crust
As long as weary hands can grind;
but scant the wages that they find,
For nowhere in the jostling throng
Are lives with leisure left to heed
The crude petition of a song
Chatter and rush and dust and CRIME
Ano the not, tired morning done.
but not listener had they won
nhe faulty tune, the halting time;
when with the sudden MONDAY chime
from out the .jingling medley come,
Like words of comfort healing pain.
The tender notes of Home, Sweet Home"
There is no place like home" he saws.
The old, forsaken, homeless man,
With soul too worn and warped to span
The pathos of the thing he plays
And somewhere in the crowded ways
Men hear old, silent voices sing,
And, spite the currents onward sweep,
falter while, remembering
mo place, no place like home"--the word
Grows faint and fainter down the street,
And somewhere slower pass the feet.
And somewhere sudden tears are stirred.
And dim, far whisperings are heard
In hearts that deemed them surely dead:
And one petitioner has gained
The penny for his daily bread

GAINS BY THE DISPUTE.
A Better Feeling Between France aud Germsl
Produced.

Paris (By Cable) The Franco
German complications have been so far
overcome that a complete agreement is
considered only a. matter of time. The
Improvement in the situation was fur
ther manifested in official and dipIo-
matte quarters, and the Bourse again
showed a marked advancc>+n rer7-cSS- ~
general frmneSs throughout. The
nervous public sentiment, has entirely
disappeared and there is no further talk
OF the possibility of rupture with Ger
many.
The officials say that the negotiations
now are largely a question OF formal "a
ties and the framing of an undeTsrand-S
ing within the limits of the two notes
and the attendant conversations already
exchanged.
Therefore, it is not likely that France 4
will send~another note, as her positionl
was fully defined in the first communiA.
cation to which Germany lIay-<t7r--yy-sz o.

indicates that the final understanding
will be on the basis of holding CON

and disposed of their contents without

POST TEMPERANCE WORK.
Statement from Col. Wallace Concerning
the New Social Club.


Regarding the establishing of tenn
perance club, formed by the w. @. T. IT,,
at Fort Ethan Allen and the order issued
making it military offense for men of
the garrison to join private clubs, the
Army and Navy Journal says: "We are
not quite clear as to the purpose of the
distinction made at Fort Ethan Allen be-
tween different organizations of enlisted
men. The enlisted men at the post were
required to disband an organization they
were forming in the nature of social
club and instructed that it would be re-
earded as a military offense to join such
an institution Perhaps this was nee
essary, but why then were the men en-
couraged to establish d branch of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union,
an organization whose interference in
army matters has been so severely criti-
cised by large number of army officers
in a position to judge of their work
The spirit of the ultra temperance peo-
pie toward the army is indicated By the
remarks of the Rev. Henry Wood, field
secretary of the National Temperance
society before the Methodist preachers
meeting in New York on October g.
read about crime and debauchery and
drunkenness and desertions due TO the
abolition Of the canteen," he told the
ministers. "They are part Of a syste-
matte campaign to obtain the restora-
ton of the canteen. Our society has in
vestigated these reports and found them
all les The Rev. Dr. G. G. Wilding of
Paterson, n. j., said: The fact il that
the war department is opposed to the
present law, and it is easy to make any
law appear failure under the circum-
stances. The department has never car
ried out the law in good faith, to provide
better quarters for the men. The real
need is for officers who wish to enforce
the law. What would you think of a
| big mill or factory with saloon on the
ground The officers of the corporation
would not permit such thing. And the
officers of the army could do the same
thing if they wished it. The army be-
longs to the people, and we have right
to demand that the officers enforce the
law These remarks are in line with
those that come from representatives Of
! the w. G. 7. U. All are interested in
/ the work of promoting temperance in
the army, but it would seem that some
lbetter way can be found than that of
encouraging the enlisted men to join
lot with an organization that stands
in critical attitude toward their officers
and is actively engaged in the work Of
disappearing them before Congress
and the country"
