Welcoming the Fleet Abroad.

The announcement that the American
battlesfip fleet now at Magdalena Bay
will return to Atlantic waters by COM
pleting a voyage around the world has
the foreign ports where it is likely the
feet will make a stop. There is no
longer any of the MISUNDERSTANDING
and suspicion regarding this voyage
which prevailed a few months ago, and
the whole world recognizes it as some
thing wholly without menace. The
voyage undoubtedly appeals strongly
to the friendly feeling which the other
nations of the earth feel toward the
Crited States and the prospect of 2
visit from the tieet fires their good will
and enthusiasm. The presence of the
fleet of which our country is justly
proud in the leading ports of Asia ard
Europe will add to our prestige abroad
and make the voyage one of the notable
naval events of our times. The follow
ing messages sent from Australia and
from Mexico indicate something of the
popular feeling which is back of the

Australia:

At a great gathering of citizens in

Dcakin read a cablegram announcing
that the American fleet would visit
Sydney and Melbourne, and tnereupOn
called for three cheers. The audience
rose IN masSe and responded with deaf

heard in London. Similar expressions
Of satisfaction come from Melbourne
over the prospective visit of the fleet.
The Minister of Defense, Thomas EW-

Marriages at Panama.

tBIiss Helen Boswell, who has just re-
turned from a trip of investigation 10
ne Panama canal zone, brings back
the startling announcement that 1T Is
tynnossible for a woman to keep single
down there" She does not bother to
tel us how she was able to retain the
"Miss" before her own name, but goes
on to explain that the men are SO nu-
rr,erous and the women so scarce that
fbe Young women who go there from
this country as nurses, cooks, servants
and teachers, inevitably get married
SON after their arrival. She tells OF
6rfe hospital which lost II nurses
through matrimony within a period OF
ITO months and suggests as a remedy
that 'homely nurses instead of attrac-
tfye ones" be sent to the Panama
hospitals.
Foolish woman; does she not know
that nurses are always attractive to
tic young men whom they are bring
ing through sickness back to health
and strength; and does she believe
that if such rarity as truly homeiy
nurse could be found the wedding bells
would he kept from ringing in case
she went to Panama? For plainness
has its compensations and has never
vet been left behind the distance flag
in. the matrimonial race. 1t will take
more than plainness to choke off those
Panama bachelors who have years of
tropical life stretching ahead of them
before their work on the isthmus is
ended. Moreover there is a special at
traction to quit the bachelors quarters
in the fact that the married men of the
zone get higher pay and have practi-.
cally everything furnished except food
and clothing. AS things stand now
Uncle Sam seems to be running a reg
ular matrimonial bureau in connection
with the work of digging the big.
ditch, and if Miss Boswell really wants
to put it out of commission she should
advocate an absolute edict against
the admission of any woman to the
canal zone. No halfway measures will
be effective.

Literary Geniuses Who Died Miserably

That Oudia should have died as she
did in poverty and loneliness, an exile,
though voluntary one, from the land
of her BIRTH was an undoubtedly pitt
full ending to an exceptionally brilliant
career Equally sad has been the fate

of the Survey of London became in
his old age a licensed beggar. asking
aims from door to door through sc
counties" Wycheley, from being the
spoiled idol of society, fell to the low
est depths of restitution, and was
eventually consigned to the Fleet
Prison for debt, where he remained
seven years. Cotton also spent many
years in a debtors prison and even
tually died there by his own hand.

Two small items appearing on the
same page of the newspaper so StronS-
ly reflects two opposite views or what
life means TO people of today that they
compel comparison. One reports the
failure of a great diamond house in one
of the worlds leading cities, and the
head of the ruined firm says the crash
came because society people or great
wealth have become so fascinated by
the automobile craze that they not
only purchase no more jewelry, but
are even pawning their gems anG
mortgaging their homes to keep up
with the mad whirl of life according to
automobile standards. The other par
asraDh tells of simple old man who
has s. a week, small piece OF land,
ard little cottage in which he has
lived tor many years. Across the frOnt
of his tiny hCme he has painted III

These are two pictures of the search
fer happiness-for. after all, that is
the quest Of every life. be it of man or
beast. Some seek it along the path of
duty and give it the name of duty.
Others search for it amid the lowered
iungles of pleasure; still others would
Stake their thirst for it by drinking of
the pools of power, and yet others
climb YEARLY after it's phantom light
UP to the halls Of fame. only few
seek happiness within themselves. In
the craze for automobiles, in the pur-
suit of sport, in the orgies of monkey
dinners and snake dances, Sirl-ln-the-

but one wild, mad deSire-tO acquire
happiness through excitement, Excite
ment! 1t is the keynote of our nation
al life; all because we so thirst for
happiness and are impatient to find 1t.
In the speed of our desire we have run
past it and away from it. In the fe-
veriSh energy of our course we have
smashed all things in our way.
The path is strewn with the wrecks
of great businesses-the diamond house
is but one of the least of these-with
the debris of broken ideals. snapped
nerves, and millions on millions of
wasted money. More than all, of
wrecks of men lie thickly beside the
course. They stood in the way of the
frenZied rush for happiness, they OBJ
structed the wild chase after excite
ment, and were stricken down with the
rest. Money and energy and time and
character have all been expended Law
ishly in the terrible charge upon the
haunts of happiness.
Has it ever, been found? Never in
that way.
