THE HAVOC OF WAR,

Ideas are possessed in a general way of the frightful ravages of war, but facts and figures reveal in the most appalling manner the terrible effect of such violent contests of force This is strikingly illustrated by the cen sus which has been taken in that DOT ton of European Turkey which has been turned over to Bulgaria. There it is found that where the male popu- lation was 175,0G0 before the war, it is now but 4. 800 in the Macedonian portion. while in Thrace of the 4S4, 900 only 225,0O0 remain for the resstablish- nent of the country. In the Mustapha Pasha district The male population of B 00O has been rednced to 4.000
 This tells story which is all too true o1 war and it's devastating CT feel II tells it in hunaan life and shows the great cost and the fierce fighting which characterized that Bal kan fight Land concessions and the driving out of the Turks have been gained at an awful sacrifice of men. As consequence it is not to be Bon- dsred at that tb& great need of that TIattrul IS men. and jt is question v neither the benefits gained conapen- ssfA fm the extensive havoc which has

ooHN SHELTON WILLIAMS.

Indications have pointed for some time to the fact that when selection was made for the office of controller of the currency it would fall to John Skelton Williams. This probability was given & jar by the part which Mir Williams played in the recent bank trouble in Washington, so that it was only what was expected when opposition developed at once to the appointment of MT. Williams when submitted for confirmation by the pres ident- His action in sending to the senate this appointment it is believed is the result of long cherished plans and apparently discounts the error which it is claimed MT. Williams made in adopting the course which he did in going to the rescue of the United States Trust company.
 The appointment of MT. Williams to this office is a most important one in view of the fact that by virtue of his office he will be member of the fed eral reserve board. It must be recog- nized that this board must be made up of men of the highest qua1ifica- tions and it Is therefore not surpris- ing that the opposition has arisen and an investigation of his conduct in the trust company matter started. The appointment should never be con- frmed until it has been shown that his action was justifable. up and above board and not a weakness or a display Of inefficiency. No cloud of that na- ture should he allowed to be carried into the federal reserve board The very work which they are called upon to do demands that only men of the sOundest judgment should be selected. , If Mr Williams can be vindicated he should be, but otherwise the board should not be given such a handicap.

MEXICAN REFUGEES.

It is a peculiar attitude which actu- ates the Mexican government in asking that the several thousand soldiers Of the federal army who, with the other refugees. are being given protection in Texas. be allowed to return to Mex leo. There could be only one reason for such a request and that is that they can be reassembIed for fighting purposes. Naturally the soldiers are
 willing to go. but their crossing the Rio Grande and placing themselves un-
 der the protection of Uncle Sam elim-
 mated them from further part in the
 revolution Facing defeat and death
 the Mexican general took the course
 he did to save the lives of his men
 It was not temporary move. It was 8 case of life or death and life was chosen. They were accepted under
 the neutrality laws and as such must
 be held and be properly cared for however much this government would have preferred that they remain or their own soil.
 The United States is only doing by
 the federaIs what it. would do by the constitutionalis- It is not however in the business nf acting as an islt of safety for members of either army
 to flock to when danger and deatl l threaten and expect to be turned bacl 1 when the trouble has passed by ol l abated temporarily. Huerta could, O | course, use those men and generals | which would also be true of the rebel | if they were the ones who had sough 1 refuge, but it is not a question O | what needs there are for this fragmen 1 of the army. it is for Uncle Sam t' 1 maintain the laws which govern | neutral zone.

Round Pegs in Square Holes.
BY THE CONDUCTOR

"They's too many round pegs tryin 10 fit into square holes. It can't be did
 That's why they's so many jobs lookin' for fellows, and so many fel- lows Iookin' for jobs.
 Last night l went home an says to Lizzie, l says.
 Lizzie, I got idea" and she says
 Give it to me an I'll sew & button on it.
 ". No. says I, now don't make fun of it. This is 3. red hot one. I'm gonna get up new kind of employ melt agency. It's gonna get all tn men that has jobs an ain't satisfied with 'em to tell all about 'emselves an their jobs an tell what they'd like to do for about tn same money. An Zen this employment agency'd get busy sortin' out the round pegs to go in tn round holes an put tn square pegs in tn square holes.
 If guy workin' on oil tanks in Oklahomy got sore on his job an wanted to punch steers in tn Chicago stock yards or stay out in a boat all day pullin' up lobster pots down on the Maine coast, all hed have to do'd be to tell his little tale O woe to tn Square ole Agency. Mebbe that same !, day some gil1e from Chicago'd send ! 'em word he wanted to grow up in Oklahomy or some other gink got tired scrapin fish scales down east an { was crazy for the wild grass country En some Denver chap wanted to quit 1 drtllin' an d1ggin' an wanted to work in Los Angeles so bad he could taste it. Put 'em wise to each one of 'em. so many fellows'd be movin around th' United States they'd run extra trains on all tn railroads'
 An Lizzie says to me, Jerry. you ain't fool enough to start somethin you cant stop. are you? An 1 says. Didn't I tell you. girl l it was an idea} It's a bully good one an if I was railroad I'd start ad ! verCisin' for all tn square pegs in tn l round holes to hold up their hands i|Th' railroads couldn't lose by it.

UNFORTUNATE JAPAN.

Trouble never comes single handed 1t is said, and Japan has reason to be- lieve that such a saying is founded upon experience and truth. For a country to be suffering from poor crops and famine is 8 problem of some magnitude, but to have piled upon that the frightful calamity re- sulting from the sudden and tremen- dous eruption of Sakura jima, with the further devastation of cities. fields and the large loss of life, it is certainly time of serious trouble. The disturb ance is one of the worst which the empire has ever experienced and the general unrest of nature in other sec tions only adds to the terror of the sit nation The presence of volcanoes and the occasional tremblings in the past failed to give any indication of the terrible disaster which came so sud denly upon the inlands and played such havoc Desolation has been spread over a large enough area but the ter TOT of such a visitation and the fear of others is far more extensive. It has sent gloom over the nation
 Japan has thus been brought face to face with some big and sad prob lems at home and the generous de- clarations of sympathy and offers of assistance which are going there from all sections of the world are but the expressions of the nations which are interested in all humanity. It is such great calamities which make all men kin and get to the hearts of every peo- pie There is satisfaction in the fact that Japan is far better equipped to- day to handle such situations than it has been in the past

The effect of the war is going to be felt for 6 long term of years and the problem of remaking a nation as confronted by Bulgaria is a serious one It Is even doubted If the causes of the war have been elim- mated. Bulgaria is, however, worse off than before the conflict. It seems like ly that it can do little to improve the conditions in European Turkey where betterment is so much needed and where in many instances the need has been greatly increased

The passing of the old boat house, on East Chapel street which was torn down last week, having lain empty since the oarsmen moved down the river to the palatial Adee boat house two years ago, brings back to the old CT men memories of the "heroic age" of Yale rowing, and of the old days at "Morys" It was built in 1875, a wooden, two-story structure, with wide verandah on all four sides of the second floor and a funny little cupola on top that gave 1t a jaunty look, perched in the mud of the lower Quin- nipiac. or rather the branch known as Nell river. It cost $16,500 with all fit tings, and when it was opened on June 9, 1875 there was much speech | making, a race between University | and Freshmen crews and a college ball | in the great room of the house. It
 was the third boat house in Yale row. l ing history, the first in 1859 not much
 more than a lumber shed, and the sec
 ond in '63 a. one story building squat
 ting on piles at Tomlinson's Bridge | and distinguished by the ingenious
 arrangement of lowering the shells in i to the river beneath through trap doors, and then letting down ladders for the oarsmen to descend upon. Sometimes a man went through the | bottom of the thin shell and at best it
 was a nerve trying procedure. With
 the third boat house Yale became the
 leading rowing University in America
 and with Bob Cook at the helm from 1876 to 1899, Yale kept to the fore
 Then between graduate coaching and
 Kennedy Yale won in six successive
 years, 1900, 1905, and then the tide
 began to turn. On May 6, 1911, the
 Adee house was opened and today
 rowing has bigger following than il ever had at Yale.

Mcmillan the Elks' Building located
on the corner of Main and Bank Row
to the Masonic Lodge of this city. The

having been obtained to satisfy a
claim to an amount Of $4,000 in the
preferred bonds. Mr. Charles Ste-
phens represented the Masonic lodge,
while r. K. Mccartney, representing
several members of the lodge was a
contending bidder.
The Elks' building, which is a four

year 1903 at a cast of $4,000. 1t
is handsome and imposing structure,
containing a large number of office
suites on the second floor, storerooms
on the first floor, while the third floor
was occupied as club rooms and the
fourth floor the lodge room. The sale
of the property will be confirmed at
the term of Circuit Court to be held
in June, when the building will pass
into the ownership of the local Ma
sonic Lodge.
Extensive improvements are plann.-
ed, which will give larger number of
office rooms.
