Every Attache the Vice Presidents
Friend.

Washington, Oct. 31.-News OF Vice
President Sherman's death, though it
had been expected hourly, was re-
ceived with profound sorrow in official
Washington.
At the capitol, where every attache
considered him friend, in the govern
ment headquarters where he was a
frequent visitor, among the cabinet Of
ficers and in the diplomatic corps,
where he had many close friends, the
announcement caused genuine regret.
President Taft issued proclama-
ton directing that for 80 days all the
United States embassies and legations
abroad shall observe mourning. The
flags over the White House, the dome
of the capitol and the public buildings
in Washington have been haf masted.
From the navy and war departments
orders were flashed to all army posts,
ships at sea, navy yards amt insular
possessions to put flags at half mast
on the day of the funeral.

Each year some person of good In
tentions comes forward with the sug-
gestion that the clocks be set an hour
ahead In the summertime. The OBJ
1ect is to haul people out of bed while
the day Is young so they will have
chance to get their work well along in
the cool OF the morning. But every
hot spell demonstrates afresh that
such a scheme is a delusion and a
snare. On a hot night you never get
off soundly to sleep until after mid
night, says the Kansas City Star. It's
too uncomfortable in the early part
of the night. Often you are up and
down trying to cool off until well to-
ward morning. About five o'clock the
morning chill gets in its work and
you are having your best sleep. To
chop that off sooner than need be by
an artificial time scheme ought to
cause a revolt Talk about It's being
hard to get UP early in cold weather!
It's lot harder to get up early when
It's hot-at least, it seems that way
until winter gets around again.

An official bulletin has been issued

admitting defeat at the hands of the
Bulgarians in the great battle on the
plains of Thrall.
Application was made to the embas.

this request had been complied with
The only guarantee of safety for ma

in Constantinople is to be found in
the presence of the warships of the
great powers in the harbor of the
Turkish capital.
Powers Disagree.
1t is the general belief that Bull

in the way Of intervention until the
Bulgarian army is at the gates OF Con

make an appeal direct to the allies
without interference from the powers
