WILSON SAYS BOSSES MUST GO
President Warns Them in New Jersey of Rising Temper of
 the Masses

President Woodrow Wilson, assert ing his right to exercise the responsi- bfltties of private citizenship, re-enter- ed the arena of active politics in New Jersey last night to do his part in obtaining State reforms. He made no reference to the fact that his activities were precedent-making, and frankly took his place on the firing line.
 Although his re-enNstment was for the announced purpose of helping in the crucial fight now being waged in his home state for jury reform and g. constitutional convention, he took oc- casion to voice messages intended for the Nation at large.
 Speaking in Newark and Elizabeth, he warned political bosses that the sovereign will was the will of the people and must be obeyed. He ex- pressed the belief that the self-contro1, the public spirit, and the legal consci- ence of the Nation would protect it against conditions that were menac- ing He said the Democratic Party must make good it's pledges or merit cOrnpIete repudtation.
 ''The people of this country and of this State are going to have what they know they ought to have by one process or another" he said. 'T pray that it may not be a wrong process. things will happen. But want to warn these men (the bosses) not too long to show the people of this coun- try that justice cannot be got by the ordinary processes of law. I warn them to stand out of the sovereign way.
 ''I have travelled from one end of this country to the other have looked into the faces of many audiences. I have never seen any symptoms that men were going to kick over the traces of the laws they have made, but I have seen great majesty eeareo upon their countenances, and infinite pa tienee. Thus they are sitting now.
 This Is the test; this is the trial. this Is the ultimate seat of judgment, and if these men will not serve the people they will be swept away like chaff before the wind. Other men more honest, more active, more whole some with the freshness of a new age upon them, with eyes that see the country as 1t is-men who are cool and thoughtful and detern1ned-wfll go to the front and lead the people to the day of victory.
 '"Then America will be crowned with a new wreath of self-rev elation and Of seIf-discovery, and these creatures will have disappeared like the dust in the wheels Of the chariot of God. It is the hope, it is this confidence that keeps the President of the United States alive It is this confidence that makes it good to come back to Jersey and fight for the old cause-'

One hundred years ago to-day was fought the battle of Lutzen, the first conflict of Napoleon's Leipsic cam paign. It wassa desperate and bloody engagement, and, while the Prussian and Russian allies were defeated, they were able to retire in good order. On- Iy a short time before Napoleon had returned from his disastrous invasion of Russia. He saw his empire crum- bling before the assaults of a multi tude of enemies. Germany was af1ame with patriotism, and Russians were eager to avenge the wrongs they they hao suffered at the hands of the ruthless invader, who had caused the destruction of their sacred city of Moscow. Austria was luke warm, and Napoleon realized that only 8 victor ious campaign would prevent his new father-in-law from joining the coa1i- ton against him. His success at Lut- zen served somewhat to revive the dropping spirits of the French, but in the following August Austria Joined the alliance and in October Napoleon was beaten at Leipsic.t Then came the invasion of France, the capituIa- ton of Paris, the abdication of Napo- leon, the ;banishment to Elba, the triumphant return-and Waterloo.
 Two eminent military officers, one German and one French, were killed in the battle at Lutzen a hundred years ago. General Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst was killed when the Prussian Hussars, on the night following the battle, attempted to pierce the French center, but were repuIsed by NapoIeon's artillery fire. Scharnhorst was Hanoverian by birth, and entered the Prussian ser vic in 1901, soon becoming the leader in the reconstruction of it's forces. He was the author of the t'Krurnp ersys- tem,' or short-service system, by which the Prussian nation was pre- pared for the war of liberation,
 Z, Marshal Jean Baptiste Dessieres, Duke of Isyrfa, was also slain at Lut- zen. and by his death Napoleon lost one of his ablest officers. After years of brilliant service. for which he was made 8 marshal and a duke by Napo- leon, he was given command of the whole of the French cavalry at the be- ginning of the 1913 campaign. He was nortal1y wounded on the morn ing of the battle of Lutzen, while fearing on foot the tirailIeurs to rec onnoiter the field, and in him Bona parte lost his most faithful friend. The news of his death was concealed from the army throughout the day, for fear of the effect it might have on the soldiers who loved him.

The most decisive victory, of the Confederates, the most humiliating de- feat suffered by the North-such was the Battle of ChanceIlorsvi1Ie, which ragged throughout the first four days of May, 1868, although it was virtually decided on the second by ''StonewalI'' Jackson's defeat of Howard. The military genius of Lee and his right hand man, Jackson, was never more in evidence that in that terrible con fiict of half a century ago to-day. The Confederates, with 50,000 men and 900 pieces of artillery, faced a force under Hooker of 134,0O0 men and 400 pieces of artillery, and yet, against such tre- nuendous odds, Lee and Jackson were completely victorious. Considering the odds against him, Lees victory on that day may be considered one of the most remarkable triurnphs in military history.
 Yet the South paid a big, a stagger- ing price for it's short-lived triumph. ''Stonewalls Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men, and died ten days later. With him-so believe many of his admirers and followers died the Confederate cause. Great as was Lee, he was lost without Jack son, upon whom he had so largely de- pended to carry out his orders

Birthday congratulations are also due to-day to the English artist and writer, Dion Clayton Calthorp, who passes his th1rty-eighth milestone. He is a son of John Clayton, the famous actor, and Eve Boucicault. He stud jed art in Paris, and has written and illustrated a number of books, the lat est a romance of the South Seas. He has written all sorts of books and painted all sorts of pictures. His History of English Costume,'' for which he supplied both text and illus trations, is an authority.
 Not romance, nor art, nor the dra- ma, but statistics, is the subject of the literary work of Frederick L.. Hom- man, who was born in Germany forty eight years ago to-day. His books deal with the statistics of such sub jects as lynching. tuberculosis, santa ton, insurance, and the negro ques- ton, and have cast light on many dark places.

# YOU D De
GRACEFUL
French Artist Tells How to Obtain
Brand New Degree, "Bach-
elor of Grace"

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Do you
wish to write B. G. after your name?
II stands for Bachelor of Grace. NJ.
NADIA. French artist and illustrator.
famous in France for his pictures Of
beautiful women, designed this latest
handle, to earn which you have to
FIRST-Speak little and without
gestures. The only opportunity
you get to use your arms under
NJ. Nada's guide to grace is at the
table. He says you must employ
studied movements to show of the
beauty Of the hand and arm. Be
careful not to get your gestures
mixed with those Of others at the
table. By so doing you wouli
never attain physical rhythm ami
harmony Of the mind and spirit.
SECOND-Taste rather than eat. This
should prove easy for the women
responsible for "lacer's arm" among
their maids. This latest disease is
caused by overworking the mus
Giles Of the forearm to fit an i'm
perfect ~ in a perfect SO. So
long as the fad for the stringbean
figure flourishes the taste rather
than eat" rule will be strictly ad-
hered to.
THIRD-This rule has to do with the
opera, some long stemmed roses
and your nose. NJ. NADIA says you
should take a Whit of the flowers
while on exhibition the night your
favorite sings. The artist declares
that its success depends largely on
the sort of face which would thus
challenge comparison with the min
iature rose garden. Is your coun-
tenance fresh or fair enough to
win in such contest?
FOURTH-Wear sandals. Do not
try to win a first, second or third
husband by displaying a pretty
foot and ankle to the detriment Of
your health.
FTFTH-The voice should be musical.
BY this NADIA doesn't mean you
should be able to sing, but to seem
to speak, as DemonThenes did,
with a pebble in your month. This
will produce honeyed words.
sIXTH-To obtain suppleness Of the
back and neck, which gives
rhythm to the walk, make several
turns about the room with Greek
vase balanced on the head. Don't
try to look up at the top of the
vase-if you prize 1t as a gift.
SEvENTH-Like NADIA, be an ad-
mirer Of the grace of that dear old
fashioned lady. Cleopatra. He says
that in this age no acquired grace
can equal the gambolings of a kit
ten or puppy. Study the cat IL you
seek to be lazily, allurnngly grace
full, but II you want to give an inn
preston of energy and power, as
well as OF beauty, study the leap
ing loneliness of a collie.
Be a Bachelor of Grace.

steps probably will be taken at ones
to carry out its recommendations. In
the absence Of the chairman of the
committee, DR.. S. A. Visanska, the re-
port will be submitted by Oscar Elsas.
Included in the report is a letter
from Nathan Straus, the New York
philanthropist, in which he regrets he
is unable to donate a pasteurizing
plant to the city of Atlanta. Mr.. Straus
says his pure milk work already has
taxed his resources and reached the
limit of what he can do.
Straus Offers Aid.
He offers to aid the Atlanta cham
Der in every way possible, short of
donating money, and suggests that
this city send a representative to New
York to study pure milk production
in his laboratories.
The report urges also that steps be
taken toward the esta blishment IF
free milk depots in Atlanta to supply
poor people who are unable TO Obtain
pure milk for their babies. The re-
port says this move can not be urged
too strongly, as a free milk depot is
one of the vital needs of the CITY
through the summer months. The
establishment of a laboratory or dairy
where certified milk can be pro-
duced, and which can be held up as
model to other dairies, is also pro-
posed by the milk committee.
Women's Help Needed.
In the establishment of this pure
milk dairy" the committee suggests
that the Chamber Of Commerce seek
the cooperation of the Federation of

zation composed of thinking citizens
who are concerned with the public
welfare"
