The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger says in an editorial
"On the occasion of the death of Lord Roberts the
whole German press expresses itself alike appreca-
lively, about the fallen enemy. Even in war moments
occur when the fighter salutes the enemy with the
Saber instead of striking him with it. Such a mo-
ment has arisen with the departure of Roberts" A
generous and perhaps unexpected tribute from the
Kasers land to Englands greatest and bravest SOL
der. But it breathes only the spirit and brings
peace nearer. Germany's bravest must go kill
ing England's bravest

An ant can carry a grain OF corn ten
times the weight of its body, while
man or horse can carry loads only about
equal to its bodily weight 1t is not a
fact, however, that the ant Is greatly su-
perior in strength. II an ant should
grow to twice its original size, still re-
tanning its geometrical and astrological
structure, its volume and accordingly the
weight of It's body would increase eight
fold. Although the muscles grow to twice
their original dimensions, the increase
in length does not increase the strength,
which is proportional to their cross
section, and the ant would only be four
times as strong as before. AS it now car
ries but five times its weight, however.
It is relatively only half as strong. 1t is
calculated that the same ant developed

to carry 1-lOoth of its own weight, In

Murat's Hour of lnfamv.

One hundred years ago Joachim Murat signed with Austria and Eng land a treaty of alliance. Murat who was of most humble origin, had be- come a celebrated marshal of the French empire under Napoleon. The latter gave him his sister. Caroline, in marriage and made him King of Ma ples But when the fortunes of Ma poleon began to decline, Murat, like numerous other followers of the em. peror, began to waver in his fidelity The intrigues of Austria had infuenc- ed the mind of Queen Caroline, who had complete power over her husband. Murat, thinking he should have his throne by treachery, signed with Aus ,ria and England the treaty of alIi- 1nce. which he was soon to violate, in
 rder to pay at last with his life for le vacillations of q mind which was

RED LIGHT COMMITTEES
ABOUT TO DISBAND
Hopeless Dissension in Ranks and
Failure to Aid Women Given
as Cause.

Hopeless dissension in the ranks of
the citizens committee, organized to help
former inmates of the segregated dis
trict, has caused William knowles Coop
er, chairman of the general committee.
to write George W. Wilson, chairman
of the executive committee, suggesting
that arrangements be made to disband
The case committee is now in touch with
the red-light district by the passage OF
the Kenyon bill.
1t has become known that friction
existed in the committee from the outset
This was precipitated. according to Stan
ley w. Finch, a member of the execu-
tive committee. when he demonstrated
with certain society women volunteer
workers for the expenditure of money
on luncheons and taXicab bills for which
they asked to be reimbursed, and for
promises made to girls of IS per week II
they would stay here. though no employ
ment was found for them. Mr. Finch has
been compelled to advance 81 600 Of his
own money to cover expenses owing TO
the withdrawal of subscription promises.
In turn ii Is claimed by Mrs. Walter S.
Ufford, chairman of the case committee
that Mr.. Finch's scheme for employing
the reformed women was hopelessly i'm
practicable. visionary, and impossible
She declared that the case committee had
saved the community from the wild
scheme he proposed" Other members of
the executive committee also have de-
clared that Mr.. Finch's plan TO estab-
lish factory for their employment was
