BRYAN Tells "GRADS"
OF S50O,0OO,OOO MEN
There Are Many More" He Says,
After Mentioning Jefferson
and Lincoln.
"ETHICS OF ACCUMULATION"

Secretary Of State Bryan started to give
a list of $500. 600 900 men at commencement
exercises at Howard University yester-
day. He got as far as Thomas Jefferson
and Abraham Lincoln and then stopped.
Mr.. Bryan went deeply into the question
of accumulation. He coined a number of
epigrams. He started of his dissertation
with the statement that he had had
chance to study the ethics Of accumula-
ton.
"All human beings should study the
question, how much can a man right
fully collect?" he said. Note the en-
phasis on the word .rightfully.' We can
not rightfully collect more than we hon
estly earn We cannot honestly earn
more than fairly measures the value of
our service to society.
a man can earn $500 o0OO, 900. There have
been many men who have earned that.
Thomas Jefferson was a $500. .0oe, go man.
Lincoln was more valuable to this coun
try than o0.Ooo, 900. There are many
more.
"A man should desire to earn more
than he collects. II We had a list of
$500 600 900 men since tine world began, we
should not find in a single case that II
had been collected. Men who have earned
500, 900 900 have been so busy earning II
that they couldn't collect IL. Men who
have collected 1t have been so busy col
lecting It that they didn't have time to
earn it.
"A man who doesn't earn more than he
is paid for does not lead a useful life If
We keep the books ourselves we may over
estimate our services and underestimate
the service OF the world"
Mr.. Bryan did not make any modern
comparisons. He is reputed to be a
millionaire. He did say that he had not
felt since he entered politics that he
would be doing justice to the people by
getting out.
MY legal ambitions led me to
Nebraska" said Mr.. Bryan, telling of the
different stages Of his life. Il went into
politics by accident. and stayed in by
design"
Mr Bryan said that he was nominated
for Congress because none belle ! that
he could be elected.
There hasn't been a day since them
said Mr.. Bryan. that ] felt / could
withdraw with proper duty to those about
me-
Rev. DR.. B. F. Wilson delivered the
invoc alton. Following the speech of Secrc-
tary Bryan, President S. NJ. Newman

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The text of the
report of Field Marshal Sir John
French. in command of the British
forces in France, covering the British
operations, since they landed in
France, was made public today.
The report is addressed to Earl
Kitchener, the secretary for war and
its publication indicates that the gov
ernment is responding to the public
demand for fuller information on the
progress of operations, so far as the
British forces are concerned in
France.
The report is published in the Lon
don Gazette, the official organ. 1t
follows:
1.-THE transportation of the troops
from England by rail and sea was eff
fected in the best order and without
check. Concentration was prac-
tica1ly completed on the evening of
Friday, August q, and | was able
to make disposition to move the force

Prosperity Depends Upon Them,
He Says, but Will Not In

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.--Presi-
dent Wilson acceded to the request
of the railway executives who asked
him to "call the attention OF the
country to the pressing necessity for
support of railway credits by the CO.
operative and sympathetic support of
the public and all governmental au-
thorities.'
Today he sent a letter to Chairman
Frank Trumbull, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio board, pointing out that a
great measure OF the nations pros
perity is dependent upon the condi-
ton Of the railroads. The President,
however, is understood to take the
position that 1t would be Improper
for him to seek to influence the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
questions Of rate increases.
The President believes the roads
are basically sound. The letter will
be made public at the White House
later.
