Puritans and Greeks.

From Harper's Weekly.
The reader of the Scarlet Letter gets O
vivid idea of the Puritan conscience: Il
had its strength, but that book princt-
pally shows its narrowness and its
cruelty. What different thing was the
attitude toward life of the most gifted
people in history. The Greeks In their
great period had nothing of what We call
a sense Of sin. When they cid anything
wrong, they called il "a bad shot
something that was bound 10 happen
from time to time and was best forgotten
As Livingston puts it, il was useless 10
spend thought and remorse on bad shots.
il was better to go forward and improve
the aim for next time. Many a person
of Puritan descent. tortured needlessly
by remorse, could gain much by acquir-
ing the habit of looking at any transgres-
sion as a defective aim, and making up
his mind to get nearer the bulls eye
next time.

London's pea Soup"

London and Londoners have been the
butt of many good joke. but perhaps tho
oldest subject of the humorist is the Lon
don fog. The mist. which is commonly
called pea soup" dates back to the sew
enteenth century. There are records as
far back as that which indicate that the
city suffered even in those days from
msts as intense AS any of those OF today.
In November, 1922. Lord Evelyn made
note in his diary to the effect that there
was so thick q mist and fog that people
lost their way in the streets, IL being 50
intense that no light of candle or torches
yielded any direction. Robberles are com
mitted between the very lights which arc

Before the Suez Canal.
rom the London Chronicle.

4 rom tue LONDON Cnronlcle.
Since the p. and o. began its career
In 1887 by running boats from London
to Lisbon, Ii has had only one serious
crisis to face, and that crisis brought
grist to the mill of its rivals. IL arose
out of the completion Of the Suez canal.
The p. and O., before that waterway
drew the worlds fleets to India. had
enjoyed a monopoly. and a delightful
old-world monopoly 1T was. You took
ship to Alexandria down the Mahmou-
dieh canal to the Nile. and so to Cairo.
And now began the excitement. A hum
dred miles of desert had to be crossed.
and you crossed them in an omnibus.
Sometimes 5000 camels were needed to
shift a ships cargo from the Mediter-
ranean to the Red Sea-
When the canal was finished, all this
huge machinery became useless. The
directors were slow to scrap their
camels and their omnibuses, and came
perilously near ruin before accepting
the canal as a blessing. To SIR Thomas
Sutherland the credit is due of adapt
ing the: great fleet to modern condi-
tons. The first r. and o. steamship, the
William Fawcett. was 209 tons and six
ty horsepower. Now the common type
runs to 10000 tons and Is. 600 horse
power.

FEDERALS ESCAPE VILLA.
No Fighting, So Far as Known,
South of Juarez.

Ell PASO. Tex. November 24-So far
as known in Juarez today there has been
no fighting between the federals and
rebels south of Juarez
The rebels were stretched across the
country from east to west thirteen or
fourteen miles south of Juarez last night,
while their commander. Gen. Francisco
Villa, was in Juarez arranging to send
supplies to them. The federals. accord
ing to Villa, retreated Saturday from a
point eighteen miles south Of Juarez,
which they had reached In their advance
when they saw the rebels marching out.
Villa Immediately camped and does not
know what became of the federals, but
says if they do not attack him soon he
will press south after them. His objec-
tive is the city of Chihuahua He de-
clares he intends to hold Juarez or die

GETS HIS EXTRA PAY.
Lieut.. Ellyson's Claim to Aviator's
Rate Is RECOGNIZED.

Lieut. Theodore G. Ellyson, u. s. N,
the original aviator of the navy, nearly
was cut out of the extra compensation
authorized by Congress for aviation duty,
although all his associates Of less ex-
perience were provided for with fattened
pay envelopes. 1t was an inadvertence
on the part of his superior officers that
threatened to cost him just $1Ss16. the
difference in pay from March to April
%. this year, because they failed to make
out for him or send him specific orders
detailing him to aviation duty. AS they
had for other naval officers so assigned.
The auditor: for the Navy Department
could SET It only. one way: That Lieut..
Ellyson was not officially assigned to
aviation duty and, therefore, could not
get in on the reward allotted for naval
afr navigators. But the controller of the
Treasury. George E. Downey. at the in
stance of the Secretary OF the Navy. saw
to 1t that justice was done.

The army levy has caused something
like panic among men and women of
the lower classes, since even women are
being forced into service as ''soldaderas"

fuges resorted to by workmen to escape
the clutches of the drafting agents.

A government employe may be trans

salary fixed by law to position paying

That the transfer Is bona fide to a DO

George Z. Downey. by the Secretary OF
the Treasury. Controller Downey sets

MCGUIRE INDICTED;
WARRANT IS ISSUED
Former Mayor of Syracuse,
N. Y, Accused of VioIat-
ing Election Law.
ASKED CAMPAIGN FUNDS
OF OIL COMPANY AGENT
Outcome of Investigation Of the Al
legged ''Sandbagging' Of Corpora
lions for Political Purposes.

NEW YORK, November 24.-James X.
Mcclure, former democratic mayor of
Syracuse, n. Y. was indicted this after
noon for soliciting a campaign contribu-
ton from corporation. contrary to law.
Penalty on conviction Is year in prison
or a $1,000 fine, or both.

'sandbagged" into making political con-
tributions. Everett Fowler. Kingston
n. Y. lawyer, has already been indicted
in this connection for extortion.
Basis of Indictment.
McGuire's Indictment was based on the
testimony Of Fillmore Condit, New York
agent for the Union OIL Company of
California Condit swore that Mcclure
suggested that for 5000 contribution
TO the democratic state committee and a
fee of 1 per cent gallon on his COM
pany's products MCGUIRE would see that
the California company's goods were pur-
chased for state contract work
Mcclure Is said to be either on his way
to or already In South America Although
a bench warrant was issued for him, the
onenSe charged, being misdeameaner, Is
not extraditable and he can thwart the
authorities as long as he remains away.
Additional Testimony.
District Attorney Whitman placed be-
fore the grand jury further testimoney
relative to the allegations that Mcclure
violated the state laws making it q mis-
demeanor to solicit from a corporation
funds for political purposes. McGuire's
brother, George H., reluctantly described
friday at the John Doe inquiry a scheme
under which it was proposed to obtain
state contracts for such corporations as
contributed to the democratic state COM
mlttee, and give, in addition, a commits
sion on their sales to the Mc0uires.
Ten upstate contractors supposed tn
have contributed to state campaign
funds as the result of the threats of
politicians. were questioned by Assistant
District Attorney John X. Clark TO-DAY

Explains Fall of Diaz.

The fall of President Diaz was ascribed
by Mr.. Wilson to his age and to the ages
of the small circle of men who surround
ed him. He said that President Madero
was dreamer and that his succession
to power was due more to the weakness
OF the government than to the strength
Of his own following and cause. He told
of having telegraphed to the State De-
partment a prophecy that Madero would
fall He added that during the Madero
regime anti-American spirit was allowed
and even encouraged and that during that
time many Americans were killed and no
body brought TO account.
He described his own Investigations into
the death of Madero, saying that he had
become firmly convinced that the former
president was killed as the result of
military conspiracy, caused by the desire
of army officers to avenge the deaths of
officers killed by Madero. He said he
did not believe Huerta had anything to
do with the murder.
Mr.. Wilson said that he believed the
revolution would have been ended three
months ago If the United States had
recognized Huerta. He added that the
policy of the United States Is bound to
fail for the reason that it is impossible
TO hold fair and free election in Mexico.
Should Huerta fall. he said, the United
States will be responsible for the blood
shed which he thought will follow. He
described the constitutionalists as ban
dts, held together by love for looting.
Questions Administrators Policy.
Whenever before" asked Mr.. Wilson.
has this government attempted to i'm
pose or depose chief executives of SOW
ereign friendly or independent states?
Whenever before has this government at
TEMPTED to exercise the right of passing
upon the elections Of neighboring
friendly republic, of deciding whether
q de facto chief executive has not been
made so by constitutional methods?
Whenever before in the history of this
government has il dispatched ENJOYS to
the enemies of order and disturbers of
peace In a neighbortng republic?
Whenever before have the representa-
tons from our American people living
abroad fallen upon deaf and unsympa-
thetic ears? Whenever before have we
ordered by presidential proclamation
Americans out Of any country in the
world, refusing to afford them or their
property protection?
Andrew Jackson would not have done
these things. Samuel ]. Tilden would not
have done these things. Grover Cleveland
would not have done this, nor would
Champ Clark. If he were today President
