NARSHALL'S INTENTIONS
ARE NON-COMNITTAI.

The Washington Evening Star
says
Vice President Marshall has no
intention at this time of either ac-
cepting or refusing the nomination
for the Vice Presidency in 1916. He
made this evident in commenting on
the statement in several papers that
he probably would not be a candi-
date for reelection.
The offices of President, partic-
ularly. and of Vice President, Incl
dentally,' he said, are of such i'm
portance that the people ought not
be importuned in regard to the Sc
lection of candidates, but ought to
be allowed to select whom they will,
without let or hindrance.
i want to say at this time, in
view of the printing of the comment
that | would not be a candidate to
succeed myself, that | never have
written to, or personally asked any
man to vote for me. | did not pro-
test when one of my bitterest enc
mics from my own county was seat

ana.

At the beginning of the present

Since the acquisition of colonial
possessions in the Pacific the United

these possessions threatened.

To-day stalwart men eagerly kill

not spread. and they are achieving
the desired results.
Forty-four years ago. ditressed

desperately hunted rats for food in
the sewers of the city of Paris, be-
sieged by the Germans.
Such is the far call from work
of peace and the business of war!
At this time, when millions of
armed men are marching in Europe,
who can say there will not be some
great city of the Old World that will
stubbOrnly resist an entrance by the
invader and experience a repetition
of the horrors that blighted the
lives of the gay Parisiennes nearly
half century ago?
The American of to-day who COM

unusual activity to draw a picture of
his state of woe, had he lived in
Paris in 1871, and faced starvation,

Wives and children of some of the
French soldiers were not searching
for rats, but were standing for hours

ceive at the end their days rations

thousands. were dying from wounds,
privation, cold or disease.

one of Frances coolest winters.

hemmed in on all sides by vast
hordes of German troops. And she

nearly a month longer,

of great victories of the French

In one night 900 soldiers froze in a
bivouac outside Paris,
The armies were being continually
sent out upon sorties. Paris only
hope was to break through the
Prussian lines. But each sortie was
repulsed, and the bleeding bodies in
the streets and alleys and frozen
mud roads of the suburbs told of
more widows and orphans left in the
starving capital.
Women of wealth and position
joined with the poor and side by
side labored in improvised hospitals.
The magnificent corridors of the
Theater Francois, which few

the groans of the dying. The theater
was hospital!
And then came the bombardment.
The German gunners picked out the
city's sore spots to prod with their
cannon. In those three weeks over
100 women and children were killed
by the shells, and the total mortality
among the non-combatant population
was 800!
And yet. through all these hor-
rors. such as few cities have ever
endured, gay Paris still maintained
faint traces of its traditional joy
BUSINESS.
People used to gather about the
sports where the shells were burst
ing to watch and laugh at the antics
and havoc they wrought in deserted
houses and streets. Boys would run
after a shell had burst and collect
pieces of it to sell as souvenirs at
prices ranging from one to five
francs.

of the siege!
When at last Paris surrendered
there were provisions for not more
than four days within the walls!
The Germans allowed the French
full liberty at once in going out
after food, but predicted it would
take twenty days to bring in enough
to save the city.

IL \ WAR OF GIGANTIC GRAFT
(By Herbert Quick


The great antagonist of Napoleon
Bonaparte was the English states

When the news came to nm tnat
Napoleon had beaten the Austrians
and Russians at Austerlitz, he was
at a watering place, a sick man. He
went home. and when he arrived at
his villa at PutDey he was a dying
man.
He saw on the walls a map of
Europe. Roll up that map!" he
cried. 1t will not be needed again
