or that they were heard of under pre-
V1ous Administrations. Nor is it ex-
planned why colored clerks are taken
out Of rooms In which their sole COM
panions are white men, or why, if
there should be segregation because
OF the women, the Government does
not segregate all its women clerks.
Nor does Mr. McAdoo record the fact
that In many instances the white
clerks, without respect to sex, have
gone to their colored associates and
expressed their complete dissent from
the Governments caste undertaking.
He Indignantly denies that poorer
quarters have been given to the segre-
gated, but eye-witnesses have told of

OF prompt punishment for failure to

sEcTIoNALIsM DEAD
 IN THE UNITED STATES

June 4th may well be regarded in history as the day when the animosi- ties aroused by the war were finally buried and the complete reunion of the once estranged sections formally proclaimed. for there was unveiled on that day at the Arlington national cemetery beautiful monument, erect ed by the Daughters of the Confed- eracy to the Southern soldiers who died for the Confederate cause. The monument is of solid bronze, some thirty feet in height. The figure of the South, the plow-stock and sickle and verse from the Scriptures con stitute the synthesis of the whole work peace to the living and peace to the dead, and is a splendid example of the sculptor, Sir Moses Ezekiel, who entered the Confederate service when a student at the Virginia academy.
 The ceremonies of the unveiling were impressive and beautiful. Gen. eral Young, commander.in.chief of the United States Confederate veterans, opened the exercises with an address full of sentiment and rich in informa- tion. He was followed by General Washington Gardner, commander.in. chief of the Grand Army of the Re

The Canadian power schooner Fort McPherson pulled into the roadstead on Saturday and pulled out again the same day. The schooner Is on her way to Herschel island where she will establish post for the Hudson's Bay company. This station will be the main one of a series of stations which the company aims to establish from time to time as developments warrant, Bailey Island and Shingle point are among the places that will get sub- stations. The McPherson will be fol lowed by the Ruby which has 500 tons of freight for the stations. Both of the ships hail from Vancouver. The establishment of the.

WILSON'S OFFER TO
 MEDIATE IS TIMELY

If is too much to expect that w'.f- mad Europe will give immediate con sIderation to President Wilson's of fer of mediation. Nevertheless, 1t is well that the offer has been made.
 The President speaks "as official head of one of the powers signatory to The Hague convention" He speaks also as official head of the only great power that Is not directly or indirect ly involved in this titanic struggle He speaks as the official head of the only important Government that is in a position to tender it's friendly offices in good faith.
 The third article of The Hague con vention provides that
 Powers stranger to the dispute
 have the right to offer good offices
 or mediation even during the
 course of hostilities.
 The exercise of the right can
 never be regarded by either of
 the parties in dispute as an un-
 friendly act.
 Soon or late, the European nations now at war will be obliged to accept the good offices of the United States This Is the only country to which they can we'll turn for friendly assls' tance to instituting the preliminary negotiations for peace. They may wait until incalculable injury has been inflicted upon modern civilization They may wait until all of them have been bled white in the most devast ing war of human history, But the friendly services of the United States will remain at their disposal. :,

The audience then listened with rapt at tention to the eloquent speech deliver ed by Colonel Robert B. Lee, a grand son of the great General Lee, which closed with a thrilling recital of the lines:
