American Training Tells.

Greeks, Bulgarians, Servians, and
MontenegTins, who FASTENED from the
United States to take up arms against
the Turks are shedding glory upon the
country that temporarily adopted them
and are making good in the field. The
American Greeks are said to have been
the very flower of the victorious army
which entered Saloniki, and many of
the Servians who went from here are
reported to have proved expert in the
handling of artillery.
The Montenegrins. Bulgarians. and
Servians who came to the United
States have been largely engaged in
railroad construction, in mining and in
other work that has given them skill
and self-reliance. These qualities have
proved valuable in the present warfare
On the conclusion of peace it may
naturally be expected that many of
them will remain at home. There is
much pioneer work to be done in the
lands to be reclaimed from Turkish
misrule, and the adventurous spirit that
brought these exiles to our shores will
now probably find an outlet in patriotic
labors at or near home.

Leads in Internal Waterways.

Germany's project to connect the
Rhine with the North Sea BY a canal
is taking shape 1t is to be a ship
channel of depth sufficient for the
passage of steamers as navigate be-
tween Rhine ports and the ports OF
Great Britain and Scandinavia. The
canal is to extend from Cologne to
Emden, and its estimated cost is
100000 The object is not only to
make the Rhine trade commercially in
dependent of Holland, but to shorten
the voyage.
The trip from Cologne to Emden
could be made in seventy-nine hours,
while the time between Cologne to
Rotterdam, the present route via HoI-
land. is 1872; and the distance from
Emden to British and Scandinavian
North Sea ports is less than from the
Hook of Holland.
Germany has distanced all other
countries in the development of inter
nal water-borre commerce; but she
appears TO be determined even TO in
crease her lead.

Worthy of Imitation.

At a special meeting OF the Board
OF Education in London, Ontario, it
was decided to take advantage of the
recent adolescent act passed by the
Provincial Government, and the com
pulsory school age was raised from Il
to 10 years. 1t is the intention of the
board to induce boys and girls be-
tween these ages to take courses in
industrial training or domestic science,
either at evening classes or at day
school.
A canvass of the manufacturers of
that city was made. and the majority
agreed to cooperate with the board
in better educating the boys and girls
of the city in this manner. In cases
where the day schools are selected, the
manufacturers will give the pupils suf-
fcient time for the classes, and will
pay their wages in the meantime
Where the boys elect to go to evening
classes a couple OF hours will be al

ANGER
NJ GEORGE FITCH.
Author ot "At Good Old siwash.",

Anger Is an overheated bearing in the
temper which causes the brain to stop
working until 1t is cooled OF.
However, the brain Is the only part
of an angry person which stops work
ing. An angry main Is the busiest specf-
men of humanity. Il keeps the tongue,
eyes, arms, legs. and teeth busy doing
justice to some cases Of anger; and II
takes a full hospital corp and often a
reinforced police department TO handle
the results
Anger is caused in many ways, and
can be produced with no practice, even
by a mere child. Sometimes a four word
adjective will produce enough anger to
keep the county appellate and supreme
courts tolerably busy for several years.
Often a frail man. weighing only 40
pounds. can don a mask and chest pro-
tector and produce 5000 cases of anger
in the third degree on the baseball field
In less than ten minutes.
Some men can be made furiously angry
by an underdone pancake or a late break
fast or q slow street car or a man with
an impertinent face. These men are
angry SO much of the time that they
often die at an advanced aged with their
brains almost unused. Other men re-
quire q great deal of encouragement be-

Beware of such men. Their fuses are
usually short and when they explode
they are full of shrapnel
Anger produces startlingly different ef-
fects on its victims. Some men get
angry exclusively with their tongues.
Others have quick tempered fists, while
still others have nervous and excitabIe
trigger fingers. There are men who can
not express anger without the aid of
brick and there are men who will

The music was Of that catchy order 81

the comic opera scores.

operetta, which had its premiere at the
Park on Thursday night, provided moth

plot. music, or acting.
There was the familiar old crone who
is about to die, and who at the last
moment confesses that she has changed

girl is really the nobIeman's daughter.
Whereupon follow the stereotyped COM
plications.
Even the scene OF the production Is laid

shape OF the fortune-hunting count, the
typical stage Englishman, &C.
The music of the new operetta. which
aims all the way through to catch the

plays, and the orchestration is more
carefully worked out. The leading tenor.

New York's Harbor Dilemma.

The plan to extend the piers of the
Hamburg-American Line, the North
German Lloyd and other steamship
companies at Hoboken into the chan
mel of the North River has been re-
jeoted by Secretary of War Stimson,
who urges that the hsrbor authorities
of New York City and of the State
of New Jersey, in cooperation with
the War Department, undertake a
project to establish system of per-
msnent harbor terminals.
The decision is based upon the con-
viction of the Secretary that the inter-
ests of commerce in New York should
not be prejudiced by any temporary
project directly opposed to the perms-
nent development of that great and
busy harbor. incidentally the Secre-
tsry serves notice upon the British
steamship lines that they also must
prepare to make other-permanent-
arrangements for the accommodation
of their big ships, intimating that they
must remove the temporary pier ends
in use now, in March next, when the
permit shall expire
The Secretary of War believes that
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1912-11-25

the time has arrived when concerted
action on the problem of permanent
harbor facilities in the rountry's busiest
waters must be taken. The Ney York
hsrbor board, consisting of army engi-
neer corps officers, does not favor any
more make-shift work, or the mar
rowing of the channel in midwater by
the extension of the pier ends to &C
commodate the modern leviathans, to
the detriment and danger of, shipping.
While the decision for the time being
will no doubt handicap the passenger
trafic of the big liners, yet in the
end, as the matter has to come to a
climax sooner or later, New York will
be the gamer permanently and viii
never again have to be disturbed with
the sheer endless harbor question.

From the London DAILY Chronicle
Mr.. Bryce's resignation comes almost
as surprise. until one remembers that
he is Seventy-four years of age, and has
been the Kings representative at Wash
ington for six years. II has been a for
tUnate period for both governments. be-
tween whom relations were never more
cordial. Mr.. Bryce left one OF the high
est positions in the cabinet in order TO
become Ambassador TO the great people
whose political institutions his pen had
already interpreted both to themselves
and TO us. 1t was a remarkable mission,
and without making any fuss about II he
set himself to use every opportunity
10 improve Anglo American relations.
The settlement OF the Atlantic fisheries
dispute. the conclusion of the general
arbitration treaty and the solution of a
number of outstanding differences be-
tween the United States and Canada
were the tangible gains: but the intan-
gible gains outweighed them, notably the
quickened sense OF cooperation between
British and American policy. Mr.. Bryce

was attacked with characteristic unfair
ness by Mr.. F. Z. Smith and other
UniOnist small fry for the part which
he played in connection with Canadian
reciprocity. But in that case. apart from
any merits or dement's Of the particular
policy, he was. as has been made clear
confined to rendering the British En-
bassy at Washington as useful as pos
stole to the Canadian Ministry Of the
day. He would have been no less at the
disposal of the succeeding Canadian Min
istry; and both parties at Ottawa have
been grateful for his persistent attention
TO Canadian interests. The change Of
administration at Washington probably
presented itself to him as a favorable
juncture for a change Of ambassadors

the world of literature, where we hope
for him many more fruitful years.

How They Do It in France.

Preparations for the French Presi-
dental elections have been begun
They do not consist in primaries for
the choice of delegates, in conventions
for the nomination of candidates, or in
campaigns with innumerable speeches,
followed by popular vote, but thus far
merely in cleaning and redecorating the
semi-circular chamber in the palace at
Versailles
In that room. about the 10th of
January, the 800 members of the
French Senate and the so7 members
of the Chamber of Deputies will as
semble and cast their votes for a sue
cessor to President Fallieres, to hold
Office for seven years. The process is
a simple one, and the choice of the two
branches of the National Assembly,
whoever he may be, will represent
substantially the popular will, although
the Senators are not chosen by uni
versal suffrage, as the Deputies are.
The next President will be a Republi-
can, not Monarchist. This much it is
safe to predict, for there are fewer
than 100 Royalists and Bonapartists in
the present National Assembly.
Surprising the scrubbing of the Ma
tional Capitol were the only indica-
ton of an approaching Presidential
election in this oountryl

Alexandria. Va. Nov. IA glowing
tribute to the memory of George Wash

paid to-day by Right Rev. D. J. o'Con-
nell, bishop OF the diocese of Richmond,
in a sermon delivered at the late mass
at ST. Marys Catholic Church, It being
the first time the bishop had addressed
the members of the congregation since
he assumed his Office. The bishop also
gave history OF the local church. which.
he declared. has its inception at BAN
quet rendered Gen. Washington by his
| aid-de-camp. Col. Fitzgerald, in this city
on March Il, 1TSS.
| The erection of the church, he said,
had met with the appreciation of Gen.
Washington and plans were perfected for
its organization at this banquet. After
ward land for its erection was donated
| by Col. Howic, also an aid-de-camp of
Washington.
These facts. he said, would probably
have been lost forever were it not for
the fact Washington kept diary.
The bishop also recalled that the streets
where the church stood were named
Church and Washington. the first name
being given by the town council because
Of the fact that the church was located
on it and the other after Gen. Wash

pleasure at being present and declared
this parish to be the oldest in the do
