treasury himself In the effort to util-

as best to meet the requirements Of

ment IN favor Of the provision was
that tho congressman did not them

secret service men Very little Of
such investigation has been done In
the past; but II Is true that the work
OF the secret service agents was partly

be given ample means to prosecute
them IL found IN the legislative
branch. But If this Is not considered
desirable a special exception could be
made Ia the law prohibiting the use
OF the secret service in investigating
members of the congress. II would be
far better to do this than to do what
actually was done. and strive TO pre-
vent or at least to hamper effective

Not long ago a fire broke out in
the city of Marsovan, Turkey, the
home of AnatGlia college. a fine edu-

by the American board. The diner

the boys were there ahead of the fire

names were cXtinguishcd, a ~nelghbor-

CCnnagration avoided. Then the Boys
gathered up their tackle, gave throc

home to bed in martial order. All

The death of Rca Admiral CoEh-
Ian. which occurred a few days ago.
has called 20 mind an incident that
took place just after the Spanish war,
and created a sensation in diplomatic
circles on both sides Of the Atlantic,
as wclI as causing Worldwide criti-
cism.
It was Admiral Coghlan's popularity
and capacity AK a good story-tcller
that involved him in the incident, of
which so much was made at the time,
when the admiral recited the poem,
"Hoch der Kaiser.' which somewhat
ruffled the German authorities.
The Incident occurred at a dinner
which the admiral attended. 1t was
not intended that the fact Of the re-
cital should become public. However,
1t appeared In the newspapers.
As II occurred after the return from
Manila. where there had been some
friction with the German authorities.
the affair was treated with more sig
@nlficance than perhaps the circum-
aldilttN ullifi NiH' N'h'A w.
ranted.
The navy department called on the
admiral for an explanation. The adj
miral replied that no disrespcct was
meant by him toward the German ON
peror. and with this statement the
matter was allowed to drop. Here are
the verses, In full:
