The most crowded spot In the world

that small tract of territory, covering one
acre. bounded by the Royal Exchange.

city Of London. It is a veritable human
ganglion. If you were to stretch an in
visible thread north and south across this
space you would find that in the course
Of each day no fewer than 100000 persons
passed and repassed. together with $4,000
vehicles. And the busiest corner of all
in this busy acre is Immediately outside
the Mansion House, for rather more than
half the traffic crossing our imaginary
boundaries passes that way. The results
of traffic census taken by the city
police show that on an average day some
$4,000 vehicles pass this particular cor
ner, while the pedestrian traffic is well
over 100000. and these figures are con-
stantly increasing.

Middle Age and Noisy Youth.

From the New York Herald.
From time to time the voice of the mid
dle-aged man is raised in protest at the
unjust prejudice against matured powers
that prevents him from obtaining work,
and in many cases he has jus.cause for
complaint There is a strong tendency in
this young country to rank the "hustling"
abilities of vigorous youth above the bet
ter considered If less noisy efforts Of later
life. Sad to relate. the popularity of our
players often diminishes as their talents
ripen. The pretty but vivacious though
raw product of the dramatic cold frame is
hailed as "a delightful ingenue" or
powerful emotional artist as the case
may be. OF the actress who has devoted
years to the development of her gifts it
is said: Good heavens! Is that woman
on earth YETI"
In the minds of many noise and physi
cal activity are the hall marks of the
adolescent qualities that we prize so
highly. The spectacle of moose flashing
his tail and stamping on the platform on
which he is exhibiting inspires profound
belief in the animals capacity for sober
judgment. His constant roars remind US
that he is still on earth and in possession
of all the excellent qualities Of extreme
youth.

Time for the "Seer. |"

From the Chicago Journal.
So far as the record OF great disasters
is concerned, every year is a bad year"
But little more than half OF 1917 has

1t Is about time for some self-styled
astroogist, some fake prophet or other
type Of seer to come forward with tho
assertion that he or she foretold all the
horrors OF those months.
ANYBODY can foretell terrible things.
Putting the prophecy in sufficiently vague
terms, the foreteller can make almost
any old style of assertion OF coming evil
seem to apply to any or many OF the
sad and terrible events OF the passing
time.
The worst feature in the matter is thae
timid folks are scared by other proph-
ecies" made by those who assert possess

1t is now about the regular season for

Reported Recapture of Two

MADE GETAWAY IN NIGHT

Melville Clark and Millard p. Burgess,
the two alleged horse thieves who made
sensational escape from the Fairfax
county. Va, Jail early yesterday morn
ing, were arrested last evening at
Sterling, Va, by Constable Lambert of
Loudoun county, Va, according to re-
port received here last night.
Constable Lambert telephoned to In
spector Boardman, chief of detectives,
that he had arrested the jailbreakers,
and that they were to be returned to
the Fairfax Jail. No information. how
ever, could be received from Fairfax,
Va, as to the capture.
The escape Of Clark, Burgess and Mock.
fourteen-year-old boy. the last of
whom has been returned to jail by his
father. was the first to occur in sixteen
years from the Fairfax Jail. AT the time
of the former escape four men got away,
one of whom was never captured. An at
tempt to break out was. however, made
about six years ago, when prisoner saw
ed the bars of his cell and was about to
climb down to the lower floor when de-
tected.
Discovery at the Jail.
The fact that one of the bars on the
window of the Jail. through which the
men escaped yesterday had been sawed
nearly through some time ago was dis
covered yesterday.
An examination of the bar. which had
been forced by the prisoners with a heavy
iron pipe, secured from a stair railing,
showed that Ii had been nearly cut In two
and later covered with dust. 1t is believ-
ed, however, that this work was done by
a prisoner several years ago and that
the men who made their escape yesterday
happened to discover the opportunity to
pry that bar apart.
Forced Mock to Accompany Them.
Mock declared at the jail yesterday
afternoon that he knew nothing Of the

LAUDS "INsPIRING EXAMPLE.n

Viscount Chinda, the ambassador from
Japan. yesterday paid a gracious tribute
to Count Gen. Nogi. whose tragic
death and that Of his wife. Countess
Nogi. has stirred the world. Viscount
Chinda was associated personally and
officially with Gen. Nogi. What the am
bassador had to say about the dead SOL
dier directed attention to a side Of the
generals character little known outside
Of Japan. He said:
1.-The tragic death OF Gen. and Countess
Nogi is sad in the extreme and Is pro-
foundly to be deplored as an irretrievable
loss not only to the large circle OF his
friends and admirers. but also to the
whole nation. At the same time, it will
be regarded as lofty and inspiring ex-
ample of intensely stoical devotion and
loyalty to his august master, under whom
he played SO conspicuous a role. It is
an eloquent testimony how the true spirit
Of the Samurai can flourish even in the
atmosphere of modern materialism and
individualism.
military talents and his courage, both
moral and personal, are indeed q chapter
well known to the world in the history
of the Russo-Japanese war. his eminent
ability as a civil administrator and es-
pecially as most powerful molder of the
sentiments of the rising generation In
Japan is comparatively unknown to the
liant military achievements. But his
well earned reputation in these fields OF
peaceful activities Is highly appreciated
among his own countrymen.

Successful as a Governor.

''The highly successful government of
Formosa is much indebted to the admins
trative ability which he manifested as
the governor general Of Formosa in the
days when the affairs OF the newly ac-
quired island still required statesmanship
of the highest order. OF recent years he
had devoted his energy to the education
of Japanese youths. especially of pa
trician extraction, in the high position as
the president of the Peers College. to
which responsible post he was appointed
by the special orders OF his late majesty.
In military science and all branches
connected with his profession his educa-
tion was absolutely up to date, having
spent some time in Germany in his
younger days. But he was by no means
a man Of the sword alone but OF the pen
as well. His profound scholarship in the
japanese and Chinese classics, coupled
with his whole personality. had qualified
the general in a most prominent degree
as the ideal educator, who could at once
be the model and the inspiration for
the minds and hearts Of the Japanese
youths.

AS man he was kind. modest and
generous, in short gentleman every

character was his strong sense of devo-

to the point of being absolutely stoical,
he was never known to be cynical He
was always so cheerful and agreeable as
a companion that one could scarcely be-
lieve that the whole-hearted general had
passed through the almost Job-like ordeal
in being, during the Port Arthur siege,
the witness Of the deaths Of his two sons.
the only staff in his old age. On the day
of his triumphal return to Toxic he COM
posed a famous poem, in which the
scholarly general sang with an indes-
cribable pathos lamentations over the
fate Of the soldiers whose lives he had
had to sacrifice before the gate Of the
invincfble Port Arthur, at the altar OF
patriotism and of devotion to duty. That
pathetic poem shows in a nutshell the
lamented Count Nogi as great general
and as an ideal gentleman

"Conservation for national defense Is
the expression employed by Hutch L.

gineering Oh the Navy Department, in
describing the recent executive order
setting aside nearly $1,000 acres of oil
lands in the Bakersfield region of Cali
fornia as an oil reserve for the exclusive
use of the navy
The reserve will be the navy's insur-
ance against any future shortages in the
Oil markets and against any future con-
tlngency which might send the price of
Oil to prohibitive position. The govern
ment Oil reserve is estimated by the sta
tfstics of the bureau of mines at approxi-

mate OF the naval engineers that the ex-
treme annual need of the navy in fuel oil
will not exceed 100000 barrels of oil
for the next twenty-five years.
The department regards the oil supply
as sufficient for all time. Its interpreta-
tion of the reasons for the government
setting aside these extensive fields ex-
clusively for the navy's use should be
accepted as purely a movement in the
direction of adequate conservation of a
