Of the House Naval Committee. declin-s
to grant Mr. Gardners request that he
be permitted to question witnesses that

the national defenses. Mr.. Gardner wrote
Chairman Padgett, suggesting that Rear
Admirals Wainwright. Winslow and
Bronson, and Assistant Secretary Roose-

that he be permitted the privilege of eX-
amining them. Chairman Padgett wrote
Mr.. Gardner that Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt would appear. but he declined
titled Mr. Gardner that he would be
privileged to make a statement In re-
jecting the request that Mr.. Gardner eN-
anime other witnesses Chairman Padgstt
wrote:
I am unwilling to assume, or appear
to assume, that the committee is unable

INDEPENDENCE
. By y

he will find that his very independ-
ence is a millstone hung around the
neck of his ability. which will sooner
or later carry him to the bottom.
The independence which recog-
nizes its dependence is the independ-
ence which wins.
The independence which does not
realize its dependence is the kind
which leads one to failure.
Great men acknowledge that with
out the help OF others they never
would have risen above the ranks.
Their independence was Of the kind
which permitted them to surround
themselves with the ability OF others,
and, while they did not either crInge
or grovel, they respected the rights
of others and used legitimately the
talent of others. dividing the credit
between themselves and their aSso-
ciates.
The great general depends upon
his staff and his men. He never
makes a movement, except in an
emergency, without consulting with
his subordinate officers, each of
whom is supposed to know more
about some one thing than he does;
He exercises his independence, and
commands at will yet he is depend
ent upon his military experts, with
out whom he would not act de-
cisively.
Dependence upon others, when
others know as much or more than
we do, getting together. exchange Of
experiences, willingness to take as
well as to give. produce the only
brand of independence worthy Of the
name. All other kinds are spurious
and dangerous limitations of the real,
as weak and as penetrable as painted
armor upon a painted frigase.

I'VE prefer determination to dishonor, -
said Nine. Lalla, Vandervelte, wife Of the

member OF the commission which pro-
tested to the President against German
atrocities, in a speech last night at First
Congregational Church.
Amid applause from the several hun

tation. She is making a tour OF this
country TO raise funds for the relief of
Belgian war sufferers. A collection last
night tOtaled $l.l45.jO
Il asked eight German generals, pris-
oners at Hpres, what caused the inva-

Of collusion, as / asked them separately.
Each one told me that German soldiers
were led to believe that France had in

Chose Death, Not DIshonOr.

curricula practical courses in domestic
science and manual training. The great
need of the negro today is industrial
education.
Local Opportunities Fine.
The educational, religious, and eco
nomic opportunities offered to the negro
race by the District of Columbia are not
surpassed anywhere. Yet in the District
between 1879 and 1894 the average birth
nlegitimaCy for the negro population was
rs per cent. as compared with 292 per
cent for the white population.
That problems of race adjustment are
becoming less acute is shown by the fact
that lynchings decreased from l07 in 1850
to 81 in 1913: that negroes frequently serve
on juries in the South; that separate
coach laws are being enforced as rigidly
against the white as against the Colored;
that negroes actually are accorded equal
protection OF the law in criminal and
civil cases. and that the negro is re-
turning TO his ante-bellum conception Of
the Southern white man his best
friend.
The question of segregation OF the
races is a cloud on the horizon Of race
adjustment. Segregation in departments
of public service and in railway and
street cars, and even in cities, may be
exped mt and just, but the idea Of farm
segregation. proposed to Civ the white
man a better chance in agriculture, is
a travesty upon Anglo-SaXon superiority
and an injustice to the negro
