The Passing Of Napoleon.

Mr.. Lorraine Petre has managed to
say something almost new about Ma
poleon. no small feat in these days Of
intimate research. In his "Napoleon's
Last Campaign In Germany, 1913. he
tells us that Napoleon's overthrow
was accompanied If not actually caus-
ed by the changed conditions of bis
adversaries. He found himself no
longer lighting against dynasties with
their disciplined and hired armies, but
against whole peoples encouraged by
the examples of Spain and Russia to
rise en- masse against the tyranny of
the oppressor." Mr.. Petre reminds us
of the story first told by Lord Acton
of Napoleon's realization that his star
was on the decline. Lord Acton says:
Having been repnlsed at Laon by the
Prusslans. Napoleon tried his fortune
against the Austrians and was defeat
ed at Arcis. 1t was here be understood
that the end had come and that he
rode forward and stood over a shell
about to explode. An officer on the
point of uttering a warning cry was
stopped by another, who said. Don't
you see that he is doing 1t on purpose
and wants to have it overr" II Is re-
lated that Grouchy said Of Napoleon at

THE BASS DRUM
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of "At Good Old Siwash."

The bass drum is an instrument for
making condensed thunder and is a nee
essary part of all brass bands.
The bass drum is larger than the bass
horn and sticks out more in front. max
ing it more difficult to wear. In fact. II
is the most diffcult piece Of wearing
apparel in existence. A bright man can
learn to play the bass drum in three
lessons, but it takes him a year to learn
how to wear 1t. Even a man with a
meager knowledge of music can read
the score for the bass drum and can
insert a bang into the melody at the
psychological moment But to learn how
down the street, beating up with 1t
narrow corner with an automobile
on one side and a street lamp on the
other is a different matter. Very few
bass drummists get into trouble from
playing of the key. but hundreds OF
amateurs, who have harnessed them
sleeves to a drum as big az a voting
precinct. have run into the solo cornet-
ist from behind with the thing in the
middle of a triple-tongue solo and have
retired from the band by request
The bass drum consists Of two large
leather heads stretched over a cylinder
shaped like a napkin ring magnihcd

Civil Pensions or No Civil Pensions

A conference and convention COM
posed of representatives of all Fed.
crel civil service employees has been
called and will be held in the rooms
Of the Chamber of Commerce of this
1ity, early in April. for the purpose OF
forming national organization to de-
wise ways and means to provide for the
retirement of superannuated govern
ncnt employees
Different plans are to be submitted
at the meeting for solving the retire
ment problem and it is to be hoped,
in the interest of speedy success, that
the views of the different representa-
lives may be merged into concrete form
and that a plan will be agreed upon
that will be just and equitable to the
Federal government as well as TO the
employees.
The men claim that adequate pro-
gision for the retiring of superannuated
civil service employees of the govern
ment is essential to efficiency and
economy in departmental work. Each
civilized nation of the world. with the
sole exception of the United States,
already has adopted this policy in one
way or another. and we have had oc-
casion to read in the news columns of
the daily press that large employers of
