Memorial Number of ''The Shield

The Star has received a copy of a recent
issue of The Shield quarterly magazine
published by and in the interests of the
Theta Delta Chi Fraternity at Ithaca, n.
Y, containing a series of impressive articles
evoked by the death of John Hay, who was
a member of that organization, and who to
the end of his days took deep interest In
1t and all his associates In it's ranks. This
issue Is especially significant to Washing
tonians by reason Of the fact that the
leading item of it's contents is a lengthy
biographical sketch of John Hay by Harry
Tennyson Domer of this city, who is secre-
tary-treasurer of the Chi Deuteron Grad
uate Association of the Theta Delta Chi,
and also of the Southern Graduate Associa-
ton of this city. Mr.. Domer reviews Mr.
Hays life with exceptional discrimination
and appreciation of the many phases of his
subjects character, as statesman, as lit
erary worker as a man, friend, as a
member of the fraternity. He pays es-
rendered by Mr.. Hay to his country in his
various diplomatic positions, and produces
In all eulogy worthy to be ranked with
the most eloquent and justly expressive
tributes that have been paid to the de-
parted.
A briefer I'm Memoriam" paper by VII
liam L. Stone follows. and the issue con-
tains in addition extracts from the tributes
paid to John Hay by eminent citizens of
this country, his admirers In other coun-
tries and the newspaper press OF America
Appropriate illustrations accompany these
articles, and the entire issue, thus pre-
pared, forms an important contribution to
the literature which John Hays death in
snired.

Twopence a Week Capital.
From Everybody's Magazine.

From EVeFyb0dys Magazine.
Twenty eight weavers, most of them
chartists or teetotalers formed a. body with
the resounding title of the Rochdale Society
of Equitable Pioneers, and undertook, IN
a cropping way, to see what could be done
with twopence week from each. A treas
urer was appointed to collect and care
for all this capital. and when enough had
acc umula ted they were to see If they could
not buy a little tea and salt fish and jam,
on which national dainties they were nour-
ished. at wholesale prices and thus save
money.
They went back to work, the twenty
eight with the rest of the beaten army of
force took the small wage and the hard
defeat and turned in their twopence a
week and waited. In December, 1914. they
found they We're in possession of the mag
nificent sum of G2S (s14o) and were en-
barrassed to know what to do with 1t. In
a Rochdale street that bore the fnauspicious
name of Toad lane, they found what was
described as the most dismal barracks In
the dismal town, an ancient warehouse OF
ill-favored aspect. Therein they rented a
ground floor room at the rate Of $50 a year.
and when this had been fitted up with some
rude shelving they had e14 $50 left to buy
stock.

Raising Black Foxes.
the Worcester Telegram.

From the Worcester Telegram
Maine farmer who raises nothing but
foxes claims to have discovered that the
black fox is not a freak, and he Is pro-
ceedng to prove this theory by mixing
black fox from Ohio with red one caught
in Maine woods. From the cross he has
a pair Of fine black foxes ten weeks old
and as these twins are not the first he has
raised the same way. he is confident that
In. time he may be able to replace all the
red foxes on his farm, and raise for the
fur market nothing but the finest blacks,
whose pelts sell for $500 to $500 each.
Judging from sales made in the past the
four black foxes he has now are entered
on his stock list as worth $1,000, and he
feels rich. He has the foxes inclosed by
wire fence sixteen feet high and rum
ming down to the ledge, so that the sly
rascals cannot get out. He feeds the ami
mails and let's them have the full run of
the farm, which looks like weed garden
with few trees growing in 1t, but pays
a profit with small outlay for labor.

Baroness Suttner.
After the appointment of this commission
had the privilege of meeting Baroness
Suttner at the fourteenth internationa al
peace conference at Lucerne. For many
years she has been crying out to Europe
that war was unnecessary. Her words have
carried into many lands and have deeply
moved many people.
She has not seen just how her hopes were
to be realized, but however dark or appar-
emily interminable the night, she has kept
steadily to her premonitiop that the day of
peace must dawn some time and in some
way. And though many discouragements
have been met she has never ceased TO labor
in this great cause. When ! saw her she
was laboring under a moInentary sense OF
depression. After hearing what had been
proposed at Brussels, and how this Idea
had been enthusiastically Endorsed since
January l of this year by over 1o0oo0 peo-
pie In America, In twenty-five states, she
gazed long and silently at the Alps, which
were shrouded in dark clouds. Mr.. Felix
Mocheles asked, What are you looking
at?' She replied THE clouds, which this
news from America makes radiant
AT that moment the members of the Nor
wegian Nobel committee were scanning the
heavens with their telescope in search for
the greatest peace worker of the world.
When they saw the light of Baroness
Suttners fruitful and incessant labors they
ended their search, and all Americans who
understand what she has done will rejoice
in their award.
Without exception all these workers for
peace in Europe look to America for the
realization of their hopes. And they do not
look in vain.

WORLD PEACEMAKERS
THE POLITICAL CAPITAL SHIFTS
FROM EUROPE TO AMERICA.
Comment of Count Apponyi of Hun
gary on the Portsmouth Settle
ment-Victory for Liberty.

Hayne Davis. in the Independent
The peace OF Portsmouth on the 29.h day
of August marked the transfer of the
worlds political capital from Europe to
America. and this is its chief significance:
Henceforth the political center of gravity
is In the new world, preferably inthe
world of new Ideas. And on the very day
that the peace of Portsmouth was an
nounced the wires flashed out the glad
news that the American plan for an inter
national parliament was approved in prin-
Ciple by the interparliameutary union and
that commission of seven eminent mem
beers of The various world parliamen;s had
been made to consider all the details of the
plan So that on the same day, by the
same nation. one war was brought to a
speedy and timely end and a practical plan
for perpetuating peace on a foundation of
justice was presented TO all the nations.
Nothing like this ever took place before
OF course, it was inevitable that the
United States would, in due time, exert
pressure for the general acceptance of her
principles. The remarkable thing is that
pressure for this was powerfully applied on
the very same day that the world awoke TO
the fact that hereafter America would exert
the paramount Influence in world politics.
Americans who were in Europe when the
peace of Portsmouth was announced be-
came conscious that the continent had
passed 10 that attitude of mind which such
political prophets as Gladstone foresaw and
foreto!d several decades ago.
The day after the peace was declared,
Count Albert Apponyi, the great Hun
garaH, rose In a company of national law
makers. assembled at Liege, and declared in
words that silenced and inspired every per-
son in the vast audience that this peace
was not merely or mainly a personal TIL
umph for President Roosevelt, but for the
great principles on which this nation is
founded; that back of President Roosevelt
was the mighty power of the American
people, exalted by their enjoyment of and
fidelity TO the true principles of libertyl A
thrill shot through the audience, and
through Europe, his words were flashed
over the wires. and as he took his seat in
the midst of u burst of inspiration rather
than applause, this thought came to me:
Not Hungary only but the world Is safer
because this man lives and Iabors in its
political fields.

BILL DISMISSED.
Complaint Of Church Against an In.
surauce COMPANY.

Justice Anderson in Equity Court No. /
has rendered an opinion announcing that
he will dismiss the bill of complaint in the
proceedings in equity instituted by the
Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church
against the Northwestern National Insur-
ance Company. The object of the proceed
ing was the reformation of policy Of fire
insurance placed by the Northwestern COM
pany upon the church property by striking
therefrom 'the reduced rate average
clause" or what is generally called the 80
per cent clause. and for the enforcement
of the policy as thus reformed.
The relief was sought upon the ground
that the clause referred to was introduced
into the policy by accident and mistake
and contrary to the terms of the contract
of insurance agreed upon previously.
In concluding his opinion, Justice Ander-
son said: 1.-The indisputable fact stands
that this so per cent clause was conspfcu-
ously stenciled ON. the margin OF the first
page of the policy. So prominently does it
appear that, on opening the policy. the first
thing to arrest the eye Is this stenciled
ciause. So plain and conspicuous. is It. that
it puts ct rest all suggestions of fraud and
deceit, and indicates clearly that the COM
pany intended, and intended openly, to
make 1t one OF the conditions Of the CEN
tract. and. In the absence Of proof to the
contrary the court Is bound to assume that
stach was its intention. 49,
