and femininity of Mrs. Prentice.
Warren" Helen asked abruptly,
do you know anything about the
Prentice's?"
1.-The Prentices? Why, no, nothing
more than that they are here at the
hotel Why?"
Don't you know Mr. Prentice at
aIl?"
"Oh, I've had a game or two of bill
lizards with him."
What sort of man is he?"
Decent enough chap, so far as 1
know"
Haven't you heard anything
about Helen hesitated-"a about
lfrs. Kline and his neglect of his
.fe?"
For Heavens sake, Helen! Are
you taking up some old woman's gos-
sip?"
You know I'm not! But I couldn't
help but hear something today that
made me wonder"
well, suppose we let the Prentices
take care of their own affairs. / dare
say they can, without our assistance"
Helen flushed and said no more. But
in spite of Warren'S curtness, she was
conscious of the sense of pride which
she always felt at his swift rejection
of gossip in any form. That was one
of the fine things of his nature. He
never gossiped about anyone. 1t was
part of his creed to attend strictly to
his own affairs.
Later in the evening, while Warren
was playing billiards, Helen strolled
out around the veranda, and through
| the gravel paths. She sat down on a
! bench in the moonlight. when from
another bench, behind a clump Of
business, just back of her, came the
sound OF voices, Mr.. Prentice and
Mrs. Kline.
Helen listened breathlessly for sew
| eral moments before she realized that
| she was listening, and then with a
quick feeling OF revulsion she hurried
/ back to the veranda.
She had not heard much, but enough
| to fill her with a fierce indignation
that a man with so charming a wife
| should be so dislOyal-that he should
pay such sentimental insane compli-
ments 10 another woman
/ As she came up on the Veranda
| Warren was just coming out of the
| billiard room. Impulsively she took
/ his arm and pressed against ii.
"Oh, Warren. in some ways you are

POLLUTION OF THE LAKES.

a citizen OF South Bend recently
recovered from a prolonged attack Of
typhoid fever attributes his illness to
drinking lake water while transient
resident OF Chicago. A man OF sci
entihc attachments himself ne is Of the
opinion that the city of Chicago faces
the most serious problem OF its exist
ence.
This opinion is confirmed by the
report OF the international! joint COM
mission created by the American and
Canadian governments to investigate
the sanitary conditions of the great
lakes. The report has just been com
pleted by Dr. Allan J. Mclaughlin of
the public health service. 1t shows
extensive pollution in the waters of
the great lakes and rivers and
streams on the Canadian border. along
which live more than six million peo-
pie, and declares that owing TO the
present position OF intakes there is
not a single city ON the lakes which
can be said to possess water that is
safe without treatment
A
remains i'm its pristine purity, but
along the shores the pollution is Sc
rious. The sources of this pollution in
the order OK their Importance. the re-
port says. are sewage from cities
sewage from vessels navigating these
boundary waters and the inevitable
pollution following rains and thaws.
IL was found an certain points that
pollution extends ten n.Acs into the
lakes and on occasions was found
sixteen and eighteen miles from
shore. These great distances. the
enormous cost OF pipe lines and the
engineering difficulties i'm placing in
takes beyond the seventy foot depth
make i impractcable in most in-
instances To secure pure water from
the lakes without treatment
To the solution of this great prob
lem the attention of scientific men is
now To be invited If the recommended
tions OF the report are approved. but
years must elapse before the problem
can be solved.

and Gen. Wood are Of the same mind
as to details is another question.
The views Of the question from civil
and military standpoints are likely To
be at variance. wide difference in
conception is not improbable. The civil
view will disclose the actual needs OF
the nations military and naval forces.
The military view will contemplate the
ideal.
The American military contingent
has always envied the completeness
Of the military systems OF European
countries. and from the professional
standpoint have had occasion to. The
American system has its disadvantages
for the commissioned officer His
opportunities are severely limited. The
process Of promotion is slow, the
the chance for varied service limited
1t is natural that the military arm
should be constantly pressing for
wider recognition, and in a way it is
well that this is so. In a country
where the victories of peace are more
prominent than those of war the ten
dency is TO discredit and overlook the
means of defense. This tendency
should not be INDUCED. 1t is dan
gerous.

IL is inconceivable that the request
OF the Mexican minister Of war FOR the
return OF fugitives on American soil
sOuld De granted. Even IL military
laws did not forbid it every dictate Of
humanity would be against such a
wanton sacrifice.
ITO have remained in Ojinaga would
have meant massacre" said Gen.
MercadO. one Of the refugees To re-
turn TO the Mexican side now would
mean the same. The war policy Of
the rebels is determination. Any man
bearing arms or who has borne arms
for the government in the present war
could have no assurance OF being
spared. If an officer he is a marked
man.
There are thousands Of women and
children with the soldiers and citizens
who crossed the border and placed
themselves under the protection Of the
United states. If returned they would
be exposed 10 cruelties and hardships
that would cost the lives of many. 1t
never was our purpose" said Cen.
Mercado, merely to retreat to this
country for safety and then TO return
To- fight again as soon as we had been
well fed. 1 ordered our soldiers TO
cross the river on grounds OF human
ity."
These men have given up the fight.
They are nOn-combatants They have
sought safety under the protection OF
the United States government. not for
the purpose of recuperating or re-
cruiting that they may be able TO more
effectively to prosecute the war, but to
save their lives and escape further
military duty in the conflict now
raging.
This places the refugees under the
protection Of the neutrality laws of
the United States. IL is not a viola
ton OF international neutrality laws
to discharge tie duties OF humanity
10 either belligerent in Mexico, as By
allowing a belligerent vessel in distress
to seek shelter in the neutrals port
for the purpose OF making repairs or
undergoing repairs. or by furnishing
asylum to a defeated and fugitive bel
ngerent force
The United States government will
be entirely within its rights TO refuse
TO deliver these refugees into the
hands of their enemies, to which fore
ing them to recross the river would be
tantamOunt. Humanity dictates that
they must be protected ard cared for
until they can safely return to their
homes or be otherwise provided for.

Oh, thou grand old river.
Upon whose banks l played,
| can forget thee,-never
Though many miles I've strsyed.
How many times I've wandered;
Along thy pebbly shore,
And many hours squandered.
With friends I'll meet no more.
Some are far, far away,
And like me, often pine,
And some sleep meath the clay
No Thoughts of Aud lang syne."
And when the sun goes down,
Upon thy quiet breast
It's like a golden crown,
A gemmed and Jeweled crest
The flowers on thy banks.
Are far more dear to me
Than power. or gold, or rank,
Or gems from Ger the sea.
With loving friends of yore,
Upon thy peaceful breast,
With music, song and oar
We whiled the time to rest.
Thy waters still flow on;
They go to greet the sea,
Old memories are gone
From thee, but not from me.
When last / kissed thy waves,
And bid a fond adieu,
1 picked some shells from caves
In memory of you.

his legal education here in Washing
ton, Todd prepared a thesis on The
Government Control Of Corporations "
That must have given him an idea, al
though ne did not know IL ar the
time. When he was cast out into the
big wide world 10 practice law. he
found himself without enough money
to open a large, sumptuous office with
corps OF blonde stenOgraphers and
row after row Of leather-bo
statutes. So he took the civil service
examination for a place in the de-
partr,ent OF justice, intending TO stay
there only until he could accumulate
car fare and a small stake.
That was in 1908 when antitrust
legislation was just coming into fash
ion. along with the Marcel wave.
Judge W. \. Day, now president OF
the Equitable Life Insurance Co, was
then in the department of justice as
the first Of our trust busters and
Todd made UP his mind TO apply for
job as Days assistant. For IT oc-
CURED 70 him that tTust-busting was
promising young industry, and that
ne might get in on the ground floor.
Being a modest. bashful young man
Todd asked for the job with a good
deal Of timidity.
Ou AAllAlh YOU tan 90 some ltuEl-
smashing do your asked Day. look
ing him over.
Yes, could try, sir, replied Todd,
meekly. like a Horatio Alger hero.
A trust. If il could have seen Todd
then would not have been afraid OF
him at all, but Day took him on and
within two or three months young
Todd drew up the briefs for one or
two OF the most important antitrust
&c
draw them up with a view to work
ing them over himself. but they were
SO well done that he found TO occa-
sion to add so much as a comma
IN that way did young Mr.. Trust
buster Todd became an antitrust
lawyer. He went TO New York a
couple of years later and associated
himself with James c. McReynolds
And that is how he happens to come
/ back 20 Washington now with the
title of assistant to the attorney gen
eral, TO occupy the same room in the
department of justice where he had
his desk when he obtained his first
legal job ten years ago.
He assisted McReynolds in the an
thracite coal case when both were in
private practice in New York. and in
several others, including the tobacco
trust suit. He was also assistant to
WI. Oulcf IuS tI Us COuHStl lOT the
committee of congress that investi-
gated the money trust.
When McReynolds became attorney
general. Todd was the first man he
thought Of for the place of chief
trust walloper.
And in consequence Of his several
years of association with McReynolds
in New York. Todd can automatically
reflect McReynolds' notions of what
ought TO be done. He knows as well
how McReynOlds desires 20 proceed
at the trust-smasning jousts as Nc
Reynolds does himself
