seek the historic and the significant OBJ
jects of interest in and around Washington.
1t may be doubted II any appreciate frae-
ton of the years visitors to the capital
would ever make a side trip to the Naval
Academy in order to stand before the grave
of the great commander. II they were
drawn there for the sake of inspecting the
academy they would probably visit the
grave and profit by the inspiration there
gained.
The body of Jones entor-bed at Arlington
would not only be appropriately placed In
a great company of the nations heroes, but
it would be always in evidence and within
the range of influence as a patriotic force,
working upon many thousands annually.
People would probably no more come to
Washington to see this grave than they
would, when here, journey to Annapolis to
see 1t. But the important fact to be re-
membered is that where one goes to An
napolis a thousand come here for sight
seeing and as matter of national pride. At
Arlington lies the body of Admiral Porter
and various naval officers of less rank are
also inferred in that ground. The great
national cemetery is dedicated TO the heroes
of the republic, whether they fought on
land or on sea, and the body of Jones
could rest in no more appropriate place.
The matter Is not necessarily finally dis
posed of. The remains will not reach here
for some time, and meanwhile the advocates
of interment at Arlington, who have been
somewhat taken by surprise by the decision.
will perhaps find an opportunity to lay the
matter before the President and endeavor
to convince him that he should reconsider
his selection

Ceryantes.

1t may be doubted IL any other novel was
ever written which exerted more influence
on the minds of men of all lands than Don
Quixote. There are works by English
men that are read today. centuries after
their production. by English readers and
by Americans: French works of antiquity
that appeal as strongly to the French read
ers of this generation as they did to that
OF their origin; and in other countries great
works have appeared, to last through CEN
turtles. but chiefly to the delight of the
people of those lands Ceramics work
however, has reached millions of readers
of all lands, and is today vital literary
force as when it was written. three hun
bred years ago.
The celebration by the people of Spain
of the tri-centennial of the creation of this
immortal novel is significant tribute. 1t
is an occasion in which all peoples may
and do join in spirit. The first portion of
don Quixote" was produced In 1905, when
Cervantes was fifty-eight years of age. He
had had a varied and generally unsuccess-
full career as soldier, author and dramatic

China and America.
Says the Springfield Republican:


"A1l hope of the negotiation of q new
treaty regulating Chinese immigration into
the United States has been abandoned at
the State Department. on account of the
hostility of the Pacific coast and the labor
unions to more civilized treatment Of Chi
nese DESTROYS of coming to America either
for work. trade, study or travel Our So
licitude for the integrity of China and the
open door will soon begin to seem to the
Chinese like a bit of humor."
1t is an old but mistaken idea that the
Chinese exclusion act was dictated by the
Pacific coast and the labor unions. Sen
timent without regard to section supported
that measure. Much about the evils of Chi
nese immigration was learned from the
Pacific coast, where the people had had
opportunity to study the question, but else
where, from reading and authentic reports,
the people of this country had come to de-
mand exclusion legislation. And they still
sustain 1t.
AS for labor organized or unorganized,
1t could not well look uncOncerned on COM
petition which would reduce wages to the
vanishing point. The proposition to throw
open our gates to the surplus millions of
China, willing to work for song and to
live in squalor, could not but arouse the
opposition Of men accustomed to much
higher reward for their work and very
different order of living. They were fully
justified in protesting. and they did pro-
test In every part of the country. They
could be marshaled today to man against
any measure which leaned even indirectly
toward a repeal or material modification OF
the existing law.
But this situation does not blind China
to the service we perform for her in speak
ing for the preservation Of her territorial
integrity. And our voice in that matter
has had considerable potency. China may
not relish having the bars put up against her
people abroad, but far more important
matter to her is, in keeping them at home, to
have them free from foreign domination.
She knows very well what would result
should the great powers divide her up and
impose their authority upon their respec-
tive requirements. The United States Is
opposed to any such scheme, and China
appreciates the sincerity of our attitude
As for the "open door" for trade, that
is as much to China's interests as to our
own 1t Is business proposition the
value of which is easily demonstrated even
to the most backward of the nations. And
the door is not going to be closed. China
will not close 1t to us, and while she re-
tains her territorial integrity 1t will not
be in. the power of any other nation or ma

The Kaiser and Peace.
Saws the New York Tribune:

says lne New 1OIh ilIpuiiS'
Ten years ago Japan. after winning a
war for civilization against China, was
compelled by a combination of three Euro
pean powers to relinquish some or the
chief fruits of yictory-fruits which were
meant not for herself alone, but for al
the world. This year. If she shows herseI1
able to win another war for civilization, 1t
Is not to be believed that another such
combination will be permitted to stand in
the way of her reaping her reward.
Not unlikely the kaiser's truculent talk
about "the scourge of God" and the yell
low peril" has to do with this very ques-
ton. Europe Is persuaded that Russia Is
defeated. and that Japan. when the time
comes. will present terms insuring her full
and lasting rewards for her exertions. The
purpose seems to be. therefore, on the part
of the kaiser, to raise an alarm and In
duce the western powers to step in and
dictate the peace and despoil Japan OF the
legitimate fruits of her victory.
There is very marked difference, how
ever, between the present situation and
that marking the close of hostilftfes be-
tween Japan and China ten years ago. ia
pans victory over China gave her no great
prestige with the western world. She had
handled herself exceedingly well. but
her anita gonist was an awkward, STUN
bling giant, half asleep. And so the Euro
pean powers thought little of halting ia
pan as soon as the war was over.
At this time Japan commands universal
respect. She has not picked "a fellow of
her size but one very much larger and
boasting of a great up-to-date fighting ma
chine. Even the kaiser has praised her
valor and skill and decorated one of her
heroes. Nogi's work at Port Arthur COM
manded his highest admiration. That par
ticuar 'scourge of Cod wears a German
medal for bravery. And today Great Brit
ain is Japan's ally. Certainly she cannot
be depended upon to help Russia, Ger
many and France set bounds to Japan's
purposes. Rather should We expect her to
consult with her ally about harvesting the
fruits OF victory so as to make the future
secure. --
Peace tiles often present pretty tough
and complicated propositions. Within the
last thirty-fve years both Russia and
France have had experience of that fact.
We have not as yet heard authoritatively
about Japan's expectations. but surely they
are not to be tried or decided upon such
an impeachment as the kaiser brings.

Unnecessary Ambulance Speed.

1t is a daily occurrence for a hospital
ambulance to dash along one of the prin-
cipal streets of the city with the horse at a
dead gallop the bell changing furtously, and
the vi hole performance suggestive of the most
vital need of dangerous haste The public Is
alarmed. nervous women are shocked. traf-
fic is endangered. To what end? The great
majority, of ambulance calls are, compare
lively speaking. false alarms. 1t is the
rare exception that one of the cases OF
genuine need for hospital service calls for
frantic haste to reach the sufferer.
If a person has been so badly cut that
there il danger of bleeding to death or if
the head has been hurt In a way to endan-
ger life If relief is not Immediately forth
coming. or If restoratives are urgently nee
essary within a few minutes. there is, of
course warrant for these desperate dashes
through the streets. But these are by no
means usual occasions for the ambulance
service And when they occur the author
tiles at the hospital should be so informed
over the telephone, which is the ordinary
method of announcement.
In the absence of a demand for urgency,
or a general description of the case, the
hospital officials would be quite justified in
regarding the case as not of an urgent
character. and in consequently ordering the
progress of the ambulance at a safe speed
instead of the runaway pace that is adopt
ed on virtually every call within the radius
of mile. 1t is of course commendable for
the drivers and ambulance surgeons to
want to reach the scene of trouble with
the least delay, but there is a modera tie

poet, and his works had been as rule un-

and pure fame to suit the temperament

financially from his success and struggled

part of Don Quixote" was not published
for ten years, appearing in 1915, the year

The great majority of those who are ia
miliar with the story if not the text OF
Don Quixote" are unaware that Cervantes
wrote many other works, some of which
are highly rated by the literary analysts.
In Don Quixote," however, Cervantes'
style appears at its host. 1t is that style
which has won the multitudes of readers,
and which has made vital to generations
the figures Of the lean and hungry knight
and the stout squire.
Through a touch of satire in real life
Cervantes was forced to produce the second
part of his great work by the appearance
Of a burlesque continuation of Don
Quixote' by an unknown writer who styled
himself Alonzo Fernandez de Avellaneda, in
which Cervantes was himself scathingly
ridiculed. Thus just on the eve of his
death he wrought his own greatest monu-
ment. and today Spain honors herself in
honoring him whom in life she neglected
and ridiculed and caused to suffer-
