GIVE YOURSELF A CHANGE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I loved a gentleman at first
sight, have been angry with him
for the past two years and don't
care for him now. l met many
other gentlemen, but don't care
for them as, much. / would like
TO know whether I would care for
another gentleman as l did for the
first, whom 1 don't care for now.
ROSE B.
That is something only the future
will tell but there is no doubt you
viii learn to care for another man
even more than you cared for the
first. But don't keep the first love
too much in memory.

Forty-SiX Years.

LONDON. October 29.-The court
circular tonight announces that
Prince Louis of Battenbcrg has resign
ed from the admiralty Thus ends the
campaign of innuendo and more or
less omen villifcation that has been
directed against the First Sea Lord of
the British navy from the very begin
ming of the war.
Princc Louts's crime was that he had
been born German. The fact that he
served forty-siX years I'm the British
navy ana had risen from the rank of
cadet to chief commander by hard
work, loyalty and sheer ability. count :
ed but little in his favor when war
broke out with Germany. against the
damning fact that his father was a
Prussian officer.
Shortly after the war started stories
that the First Sen Lord had been arrest :
ed rs n German spy were put In cir
cuiation. They even gained so much
credit That Ii became necessary to make
n formal denial. That these rumors
were extremely painful. not only to the
chief of the admiralty, but also to the
royal family, goes without saying. for
Prince Louis was married to grand
daughter of Queen Victoria. and has
always been persona grata Mt the Eng
fish court.
The rumors concerning the alleged
disloyalty OF the actual directing head
of the British navy took definite shape
shortly after the sinking of three Eng
lish cruisers by the German submarine

possession in the Straits Settlement,

The Emden's entrance into the waters

The Russian cruiser Jemtchug was a
boat of about 300 tons and was laid
down in 1909. Her main battery con-
sisted in six 4.7-inch guns and she had n
speed of twenty four knots. She carried
, a crew Of 33A men. After the battle of
the Sea OF Japan, during the Russian
Japanese war i'm 1906 the Jemtchug was
informed Mt Manila.
The German cruiser Emden, after her
exploits in the Indian Ocean around
India. where she sank n score or more
tf British steamers, has apparently
shifted her scene of operations more to
the eastward to the vicinity OF the

Fourteen Opportunities for Giving.

Once more the people of Washington
are presented with fourteen opportu-
mites for direct practical charity
work. For the fifth time the Associat-
ed Charities offers its list of fourteen
selected cases, chosen as types, and
all worthy of beneficence. These four
teen cases include between sixty and
seventy individuals, and to provide for
them for one year calls for $4,000.
These fourteen opportunities" pre-
scented by the Associated Charities an
nually have in the past been fully
accepted by the public. and in every
Instance sufficient funds have been
subscribed to meet the needs of the indi-
viduals or families for the year In
some cases permanent assistance has
been rendered as interest has been
aroused in the l.tiless state of the
helpless ones. II is to be expected that

a larger sum has been asked in the
aggregate, "a full response will be made
to the appeal.
In some of these cases Inere is hone
less helplessness. In others there is some
temporary stress, the relief Of which will
probably set the family on it's feet for
the future. Here il is sickness on the
part of the wage Garner, there it is age
and decrepitude, or some accidental
disability Washington is fully as
sured that each one of these fourteen
cases deserves the fullest measure of

quired Will be subscribed

Bull Mooserv and Economy.

Here is an instance of real economy.
Not as deep as a well, nor as wide as
church door. but IT serves 1t shows
that the Presidents admonition against
waste and extrava gance has not fallen
on deaf ears
. The House cuts off an allowance of
sl.S0O year for an official represent
ing the bull moose party in the or
ganization of that body
Well. why not? What is the bull
moose party to the country, or the
country to the bull moose party, that
the democrats. with one of the nu-
merous binding pledges made at Balti-
more and the Presidents recent words
before their eyes, should appropriate
money for it?
When the allowance was made, bull
moosery looked good and promising to
the democrats. 1t had just brought
them into office. 1t had divided the
opposition, and by that means made
the democratic triumph easy. Craft
tude. If nothing else, counseled recoe-
milton of bull moosery in the affairs
of the House. The bull moose demand
was modest, and on that account the
more easily granted.
Today. bull moosery has lost much.
If not all. of it's promise Its days
are clearly numbered. It's strength in
the present House is nineteen. In the
next House it will be seven-a loss of
nearly two-thirds. I'VE are seven"
There is not another House or another
President in bull moosery. Why, then,
coddle it further? Why not 'Iet the
cat die?
More than this. In the present House
the bull moosers are led by Mr.. MUIR
dock, with Mr.. Hinebaugh as first
lieutenant. Neither of these men will
sit in the next House. Both lost out
last month.
Who then for their places as bull

You'll find him strictly neutral in the

With a generous and sympathetic
soul.
He sends both food and clothing to the

He might send good advice if there
were any one to hear.
Although his lot is peaceful. he does
not neglect the call
That is lifted in misfortune by his

For Sanity is a Russian and Sanity is

And his sympathy is not shallow

His heart is warm and kindly, though
his mind is safe and sane,
And perhaps his other name is Uncle
