LONDON, Aug. Elton boys are just

General Sir l. J. Oliphant, commanding

Il was after an inspection OF the Col

scathing remarks on The extraordinary
walking Of the boys. The structures
were Indignantly resented and the re-
suit has been that the Elton boys, 50
far from taking the remarks seriously,

BERLIN. Aug. 25.-There is every
prospect now that the Kaiser win event

younger brother, Prince Henry OF
Prussia. a couple of years ago.
During an audience. granted the editor
of a large German newspaper in New

greater wish than 10 visit America and

Teaching Us Democracy.


In an interview published here Jeppe-
sen BergbJerg, member Of the Danish
lower house. who has just returned
from the United States. where he went
as far west as San Francisco, said:
II return home convinced that al
though we may learn many practical
things from the United States. we on
our part can teach the American people
a great deal. To begin with, We are far
more democratic in Denmark. where
true liberty is really unknown, and
where the government is controlled by
a small but powerful and selfish coterie
OF enormously wealthy men Of the
most INSCRIPTIONS kind.
We have here now a minister Of ag-
riculture who is Of peasant birth. and
i0urneyman painter is financial bur
gou.aster Of the city or Copenhagen.
Such a thing would be impossible in
America.
I'VE have municipal ownership Of
street railroads, gas works, electric light
plants. etc, and we also have a system
Of cooperation throughout the country
which has made the country and espe-
ciaIIy the peasants well 10 DO In few
years and which America would do well
to look into.
our government, although mon
archiaI IN form, IS FAR more interested
in the welfare of the people than is
that or the United States, 70 whom only
the interests of the rich seem to be
of any Importance"
Strange words when one considers
that Mr. Jeppesen Bergbjerg is
Socialist and left here with the pur-
pose Of convincing himself how far bet
ter of were the citizens. or. as he calls
them now, the subjects" Of Uncle Sam.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has entered

a nation is or is not religious, any more
than It is a test as 20 whether the in
dividual is religious Never have
known a person who was good because
no went 10 church" he says. ''or evil
because he did not" and then he goes
on to put some practical tests as to
whether religion is really a force in
the national life, and he says he is
bound to come to the conclusion that it
Is not.
The question lies. I think. rather in
what people really call religion. in what
people really get when they go TO
church. The fact that they assemble
together within a large stone building
and hear a man preach, or listen to
more or less expensive organ. that they
sing hymns the truth of which finds
very little echo In their hearts and still
less In their lives, does not go to make
religion.

as a consequence, he has, as he did
here, rendered his resignation, which
was promptly accepted. His appoint
ment to the fine New York office. with
salary Of $500 a year, followed his

little over three years ago.
Because Of the circumstances lead

going to vote for Hearst.

true" said Mr.. Byrne. zone is that
1 have resigned. my resignation taking
effect November l. and. second, that I
will then form a law partnership with
former Assistant United States At
torney Joel NJ. Marx.
but you cannot deny with too much
emphasis that I have deserted the
party that 1 have worked for all these
years. I invite the entire city Of New
York to accompany me into the polling
booth on election day and see me cast
the straightest Of straight Republican
tickets, headed by Charles f. Hughes
