ROOSEVELT HON0RED BY
MEMBERSHIP IN ACADEMY
French Newspaper Describes Former
President as IAN Apostle of
National ldealism"

PARIS, Jan. 13.-Theodore Roosevelt
has been elected corresponding member
of the French Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences, to the seat left va
ant by the death of the Swiss econ
o,r tst, NJ. Ernest Nawille. Mr.. Roose-
vult received % votes out of 2S. Upon
his return to Europe in the spring he
will visit France and be formally re-
ceived at the institute.
In view of the academy, the honor
which has been bestowed upon the
former president of the United States
is merited by the originality of his
literary output. both N the domain OF
history and of social science. In the
report on Mr.. Roosevelt, which M.
Chuquet, the historian, addressed to
the academy, he dwelt especially on the
former presidents history of the war OF
1912. his life of Governor Morris, his
Conquest of the West" and his book
Of essays. THE American Ideal"
The academy in thus choosing Roose-
Welt to take his seat by the side Of
Beernart, Luzzattim, Limantour, Moy-
nier BriCe and Lord Reay has merely
given academic sanction to the wide-
spread feeling in France that the
former president is the personitication
of Anglo Saxon energy and the model
of what responsible man should be.
The Temps, in an eloquent leading
article describes Roosevelt as IAN
apostle of national idealsm." and adds
that it is chiefly in this capacity that
he deserves the distinguished honor
which has been conferred upon him by
the institute.

Of a reputation herself for awaiting,
was the passenger when Paulhan went
after the record and the $4,000 prize for
the best time with two in biplane.
He made three laps Of the course, dip
ping and rising like a bird. Once,
while passing the stand, he wiped his
eyes, and, as he let go the lever which
controls the engine, Nine. Paulhan
grasped it quickly and surely. The
action brought cheers from every one
who happened to notice the feat of
daring The official time for the flight
was registered at 8:16 1-5. The dis
tance was 4.S3 miles.
Ferris Takes Flight
Dick Ferris took a fight with Paul
han, and when he came down he
looked years younger than when he
went up. He said he would not have
the sensation for a thousand or more.
Everybody now wants to make flights
Just to get younger and to keep
money, but Paulhan has shut down
suddenly on the passenger carrying
game. One thing is proved by the pas
senger carrying flights of yesterday.
The biplane, equipped with large en-
gine, is more than a fad. 1t is almost
a commercial proposition. If three
may ride in biplane, why not many
more? Biplanes are now firmly es-
tabished as machines for the greatest
of outdoor pastimes. They will soon
be developed like the automobile into
commercial necessities
Daring in the extreme was the fight
Of Paulhan when he sWooped down
upon the judges. He came so close to
the press stand that the air rushing
from his machine blew off hats and
started cloud of sawdust from the
starting square. It was the most reck-
less piece of driving ever seen any
where. and would never have been at
tempted by any but a loving
FrenChman.
Darkness prevented Willard making
a successful attempt for the slowest
time around the course. He started
but before he got half way around he
learned he was unable to see his speed
indicator, so he came to earth quickly,
having covered about half the course

IRISH BOYCOTT GIVEN
AS CAUSE OF SHOOTING
Two Children in Farmers House E9-
cape Leaden Pellets by Mar

DUBLIN. Jan. 13.-It has been re-
ported at the constabulary barracks
here that a few nights ago, between
and o'clock, at a place called Hack
west, in the Kilmihill district, the house
of a farmer named Downos was fired
into, the gunshot entering through
kitchen window.
Two children who were sitting by the
fire had a narrow escape, as the pellets
passed close over their heads The
motive of the outrage is stated to be
that Mrs. Downos earlier in the week
had paid a visit to her sister, Mrs.
Griffin, wife of James Griffin, who is
subjected to severe boybotting because
of his holding some grass and bog
lands which the tenantry on the Fitz-
gerald estate want to purchase.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 13.-Lost
to the world, Henry Muson was found
in jail today by the Marion county

defend himself against the charge Of
having stolen a sack Of potatoes
Mulson, one evening last fall, while
crossing nelghbor's potato lot, was
stopped by two men, who charged him
with having stolen sack of potatoes
A justice of the peace at Broad Ripple
summarily bound Mulson over to a
grand jury on a charge of grand lar
ceny, placing a value of at least $25
on the sack Of potatoes.
Mulson said he had never seen the
potatoes, but he was taken to the Jail
at indianapolis, and the squire did not
advise the county prosecutor.

GIVES AGE AS EXCUSE
FOR DOWNFALL OF EVE
At Address Before London Club
Woman Chooses Novel Idea in
Defense of Sex

LONDON, Jan. 13.-There were two
sides to every story Mrs. w. Gurney
Bonham, wife of the prior OF the
Whitefriars' club, reminded the guests
at the clubs recent dinner, in the
course of her response to the toast of
THE Ladies'" She was alluding to tho
"scandalous aspersions on women
which had been made by the chief
poets and writer's of the world for over
2000 years.
There were two sides even to the old
story of Eve, the oldest of all the
stories about women and the one
which had been more held up than any
other since the beginning of things as
a reproach to women. Men entirely
and shamefully overlooked the fact
that Eve was extremely young when
she stole the apple. Adam. on the
other hand, was considerably older.
He was practically as old as the hills.
All that could be said against Eve
was that she stole an apple when she
was very young. The first theft was
committed by Eve, but who was the
first receiver of stolen property?
Adam. Let that always be remembered
by ladies, that the receiver was worse
Ever so much worse-than the thief,
and that Adam was the first receiver.

NEW GERMAN WARSHlP

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-Burdened with
her maximum equipment of guns, am
munition, stores, and men, the new
armored cruiser Blucher, of 14,760 tons
gross, has attained record trial trip
speed of 25.88 knots.
The feat is acclaimed by the press as
convincing evidence that the German
admiralty is right in not emulating the
example of England and prematurely
equipping German Dreadnoughts' and
Invincibles with turbines. Doubt is
expressed whether the turbines of the

Sole Reason for Tracts Not Being

MELBOURNE, Jan. 13.-Under the
heading of "Australia's Master Prob

tive article on the immense capacity of
the commonwealth for settlement pur-
poses.
The assumption that Australia can
not hope to vie with Canada in this
matter is, it says, a delusion. Aus
tralia has just as much 'settleable'
land within her boundaries as Canada
possesses; the only difference is she
has not the same command of 1t.

Australia still belongs to the crown
