He Is Unjust.

So prone is man to this injustice
that the wife who is the junior is
made to feel with the years that she
is too old for her husband. The man
who is true in his thoughts. as well
as his actions, to the wife who has
grown old in his service, is the eX-
ception and not the rule.
FreckleS, who is twenty five and a
woman grown, loves a boy of nine e

doesn't know what love is. At his
age il Is the fiattered pleasure a boy
feels at having attracted the love Of
woman who is older. It is the love

he made the following reference to the
present situation:

liable to give rise to occasional misun-
derstandings and complications, but
do deny the existence, or the possible
existence of any phase in those diff

to due and timely processes Of diplo-
matte treatment-the treatment of JUS
tice and fair play, and of a sympathetic
understanding of the problems Of each
nation by the other"

BAER TURNS DOWN
GARRISON REQUEST
Reading Railroad President
Decides Gettysburg Loop
Is impractical"

The action of President George z.
Baer of the Reading railroad in turn
ing down as ''impracticabIe" a recon-
mendation of Secretary of War Garri-
son for additional railroad facilities
at Gettysburg during the veterans ie-
union there this summer has brought
the War Department and the heads of
the railroads entering Gettysburg in
to dire conflict.
Secretary Garrison fears that unless
the railroads provide for the delivery
OF the veterans at the Gettysburg
camp without change of cars and
without the use of q shuttle" track.
thousands OF veterans will suffer ex-
posure and perhaps injury in spite CT
the elaborate preparations the War
Department has made for their safety.
The two railroads entering Gettys-
burg have planned that the 1000 or
more veterans who will camp on the
battlefield where they fought fifty
years ago will be unloaded at the Get
tysburg station and then taken on
single track shuttle trains to the heart
of the camp, a mile or more from the
city.
Objection To Plan.
Secretary Garrison objected to this

at Gettysburg at all hours of the day
and night. In addition to the 40, 900 old
soldiers. there will be thousands more
when members of their families and
visitors are included. To require these
old men, whose average age is more
than seventy, t6 change cars and then
board trains following at short inter-
walls over a single track is objected to
bv the War Department as plan
fraught with danger.
Secretary Garrison wrote President
Baer that the railroads should do their
part in providing for the safety Of the
visitors The War Department will
spend S15o0O0. and will have more than
a thousand officers and soldiers on the
ground to look after the safety Of the
veterans in camp.
The Secretary. acting on the recon-
mendations of army engineers. suggest
ed that the Reading. Western Mary
land, and PENNSYLVANIA. acting in con-
junction, should make loop from Har-
burg. to York, and then back to Gettys-
burg, so that trains should run in one
direction and be unloaded In the heart
Of the camp. Unless this was done
Secretary Garrison warned railroad
heads that disasters were almost sure
to occur
