AN ICEFIELD AS SEEN BY If

Anatole lie Braz, who writes the
charming sketches OF Breton life and
folklore, was a passenger aboard La
Provence on the evening of the I'll

that very evening. seated in the sa-
loon, he had written a letter to a
friend, giving a vivid description Of
the Atlantic iceield. The following
is an excerpt: "A delicious corner,
truly French. with it's Louis XIV fur
niture Of faded shades, and its old
rose carpet. Outside. the siren
sounds at intervals its lugubrious
chant, which. in NEUROLOGICAL times,
fascinated the heart OF mariners; 1t
is changed since. We are crossing
a bank OF fog which doubtless re-
peats in the sky Of the bank Of New
~foundland under water, whose Tail

was very mysterious to see them

Opposition to Negro Soldiers.-The
proposal to eliminate the negro as ar
American soldier is a topic slated FOL
consideration when the conference or
ranking In the United States army
takes place here January 8.
Some officers favoring the plan are
prepared to urge 1t on the ground that
in the Philippines the natives are said
to resent the appearance among them
of the black troopers and that there are
signs of dissatisfaction In Hawaii, ow-
ing to the fact that the Twenty fifth
infantry, a negro organization has been
ordered to the islands to form per-
manent garrison.
Friends Of the negro soldiers are pre-
pairing to make strenuous fight In
their behalf, pointing to their record In
time Of war in Cuba and in the Philip
pines.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER a., 1912.
: washington, december 81: Attor.

Washington, December 21: Attor-
ney Thomas Brown Fielder, Of Atlanta,
Ga, delivered what he termed "the
south's answer to Governor Blease"
here today before the annual meeting
of the American Society on Jurispru-
dence. He characterized as anarchy"
the South Carolina governors speech In
favor of lynch law, before the meeting
of governors at Richmond two weeks
ago and attacked Governor Blease as
an enemy Of the south" Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, presided at the
meeting and later praised Mr.. Felder's
remarks. The Georgia attorney said
he came all the way to Washington to
make a complete reply on the part OF
the decent people of the south to the
insults Of Governor Blease." He de-
clared that the south did not stand Tor
lynch law and that the peop!e or the
country ought to know It. For an OF
ficer Of the law, occupying the chief
executive chair Of great state, to
counsel lawlessness in high forum OF
debate at q time when the eyes OF
nation are fixed upon him, constitutes
an offence against the majesty OF the
law, the gravity Of which is without
parallel or precedent" Mr.. Fielder said.
''If the chief executive Of state, when
the need arises, fails to cali out the
militia, he becomes an anarchist"

ANOTHER MILESTONE

The history Of 1912 has almost been
written, and no part Of it can be re-
written or recalled. All Of us who
have tried to do anything have made
blunders-have said and done things
that we think now we would do or
say differently If we had another
chance, and we also left undone many
things that we should have done, but
II is to be hoped that most Of us did
the best we could with the lights be-
fore US, and 1t Is also to be hoped that
none of us will wind up 1913 with any
more regrets than we are harboring
at the close Of 1912, and there Is no
reason why we should, from human
viewpoint, II we continue to try faith
fully to do our best. 1912 has been
quite satisfactory to me from busi-
ness standpoint, and desire to re-
turn my most sincere thanks to each
and every individual, firm or corpo-
ration that has placed insurance OF
any kind-lite, fire, accident, or
health-in my agency, and to express
the hope that the service rendered In
each individual instance has been so
satisfactory that in the future our
business relations will be on a larger
scale that ever before. In the future,
as in the past, my wares" will con-
tinue to be of the very best quality
and always guaranteed to give salts
faction. With the compliments Of the
season, Yours truly,

The Destruction of Regina.

The summer tornado season opens this
year in a most shocking manner. the city
Of Regina, Canada, having been struck
by a storm yesterday with a result of loss
OF from 400 to 800 lives and destruction
of property estimated at $14OO0,OOO This
Is one OF the worst catastrophes of this
character ever recorded. For many years
these sudden cyclonic storms have swept
through the western country, where the
fiatness gives them tremendous sweep
without interruption. swoOping down upon
cities and towns and hamlets with practi-
cally no warning. sometimes cutting a
narrow swath. again laying waste the en-
tire settlement. The freaks of these hur-
ricanes are numerous and startling in
their eccentricity-buildings cut in half.
steeples lifted bodily from churches other
wise unharmed. roofs blown from their
original buildings to the tops of other
buildings far away. houses carried entire
from their foundations and set down with
little injury at distance. great struc-
lures torn into the smallest conceivable
fragments, trees uprooted and driven
through walls, human beings blown far
through the air and landed without hurt.
Doubtless from Regina will come similar
tales when the particulars ars received.
but meanwhile the story that 10 told 10

midst OF an unprecedented hullabaloo.
and with a particular object In view.
Matters and things will be a bit clearer
by and by. and then Mr.. Hearst, as q
definer. will show better form.
What a time first and last. Mr.. Hearst
and Mr.. Bryan have had trying to get
together and stay together. On again.
off again In 1896 and 1900 they were to-
gether In 1904 they fell out. Mr. Hearst
wanted the presidential nomination for
himself that year, but Mr.. Bryan re-
away in the ST. Louis convention on Sen
ator Cockrell of Missouri.
In 1908 Mr.. Bryan wanted Mr.. Hearst $
support for President. but Mr.. Hearst
attached himself to one Hisgen. Hsgen?
Yes; there was such a man. But he and
his cause are now dead-yery dead.
Why did Mr. Hearst deny his support
to MIR. Bryan that year? Because Mr.
Bryan was in measure in alliance with
the predatory interests Tammany was
supporting him, and at that time Mr.
Hearst could not a-bear Tammany. Nor
gan and Ryan and Belmont were con-
trolling Tammany, and that was aohor-
rent to Mr.. Hearst.
Today Mr. Bryan refuses to work with
Mr.. Hearst Why? Mr.. Hearst is in al
lance with the predatory interests. He
is in cahoots with Mr.. Murphy. and
through him with Mr. Murphys mas
ters. Morgan. Ryan and Belmont. Mr.
Bryan will keep no such company. He
is the champion Of the plain people. and
as such will not take the hands OF the
oppressors of the working classes.
