LETTERS TO EDITOR
Nations Great Men

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 First and last in our country we have had some great men, Statesmen, educa- tors. scholars and soldiers. Mir. Jeffer- son, the greatest statesman of all This wonderful man originated schemes and the gifted Patrick Henry advocated them. The most distinguished representative of literature was perhaps Longfelow, and the most noted educator Horace Greedy. And who shall I say was the greatest soldier? Don't be surprised when I say Robert k. Lee. I have left the best for the last-that is to say, the man who had the clearest view If statecraft to my mind, Alexander H. Stephens. This man was a prophet. Have you read his book? If you have not, get one and read it. It is the book next to the Bible. IT he were living he could not write the causes that led up to our civil war and tell of It's final results my better than it is told in this history of his. In his great speech made in Augusta, Ga., at the outbreak of the war, the people said Poor little Alex" the :niirmites of his body and limbs has reached his head. " Every word he uttered in that ever mem orable speech has come tiue He had a vision, and raised the veil of the future, and told the southern people what he had seen, but they did not believe him. When men make up their minds to go to war reason is dethroned and human blood begins to flow. So 1t has heen and so it will be. '1'hy kingdom come"

WALL STREET LENDS A WILLING EAR ID THE PEACE RUMORS
Altogether the Financial Situation Makes Further Progress Toward
 Betterment

New York. September 10.--Wsll street inclined willing ear to the many peace rumors current in the district today, even though they were accepted with reserva- ton in high banking circles. Altogether. however, the financial situation made fur ther progress towards betterment, as was shown by the necision of leading bank ing houses and bond dealers to presume business in high grade securities subject to certain necessary restrictions.
 Interest centered mainly around the Washington conference of bankers and the federal reserve board, from which came the announcement that a syndicate of New York bankers would care for $so,o00,00o of New York citys obligations held abroad. leaving only something like s7o.ooo. GOO to be raised outside of this city meet other European obligations of the country should the reserve board adopt the bankers plan in it's entirety. Tonight came an announcement from the bankers interested that they and the New York city authorities were in agreement re- garding the city's financial programme. Although the exchange maket failed to reflect any unusual conditions in con- nection with the plan for the payment of the city's debts in London and Paris, the belief still prevails that round amount of gold. probably not less than S25. .000,0o0 will be shipped to Ottawa in connection with the city's obligations.
 Despite the closing of the stock ex, change bankers believe a ready market will be found for such of the New York city notes as may not be sold abroad

Twin Girls Mix Up Doctors

From the New York Tribune.
 New Brunswick, N. J.-Helen and Mar garet Brady. twins and IS years old, had nurses and physicians in St. Mary's hos pital baffled tonight. The girls were in- jured in a runaway accident this after noon, one of them getting two broken ribs and the other broken leg.
 They look exactly alike and insist upon occupying cots placed side by side in the hospital. Nurses and surgeons working over them kept mistaklng one for the other until, in desperation, one of the sur geons pulled Helens bed out of alignment with the others In the ward Then he forgot whether it was Margaret's or Helens bed he had moved.
 Several times nurses found themselves ministering to the ,one with the broken leg when it should have been the one with the injured ribs. The nurses plan tomorrow to place placards on the beds, one bearing the word leg and the other "rib."

"Mother" to All Animals

From the New York World. Denver.-The mountain goat that is mother to orphaned animals has again been called to City park. this time to nurse d young fawn robbed of it's mother by the bullet of hunter. The fawn has taken most kindly to it's foster parent
 The goat short while ago played mother to a litter of young mountain lions at the park and they, too, thrived The goat has the maternal instinct, say park attendants. and knows no differ. ence in the helpless brought to her care and is as happy with the fawn or thu mountain lion cubs as it would be witt its own.
 The fawn was presented to the city by Walter R. Fraser, state game and fisf commissioner. It was found by game warden Saturday beside the body of its dead mother. slain by reckless hunter It is about a week old.

At the conclusion of hostilities he said, there would, be tremendous in- Aux of immigrants, many of a most un- desirable character. and every precaution should be taken to keep the undesirables from entry.
 One of the greatest barriers against lndesirables, he added, was the lit eracy provision, and he thought this would close the doors to literally thou sands whom it would be best to keer out. .. E. s.

Relpian Soldiers, Witty Epigram

English correspondents who are return ing from the Belgian battlefields have many stories to tell about the cheerful ness and humor of the brave little Bel gian soldiers who have thrown a stone into the cogs of. the Kaiser's war ma chine. One of the best stories refers to the inscriptions chalked by the soldiers on the trains which were taking them from Brussels to the front. There were, of course, the usual Ito Berlin and Ito h. with the Kaiser but in ad- dition there were many betraying keen sense of humor. One inscription, which referred to the Kaiser's Forward with God speech, read William has mobil- ized God but he cannot make him march," Another on cold storage wagon was, All the ice has been removed and this car is filled with hot stuff for Berlin. :"

Tommy Atkins Whistles Marseilla;se

Tommy Atkins --England's pet name for her private soldier-has never taken kindly to the abolition or the regimental band on active service. He likes to go into battle to music. and. in fact, it has been found necessary to retain few pipers with the Scottish regiments and a limited number of fifers with the Irish, but the British "Tommies' have been deprived of their music and have sup piled it themselves. The soldiers now go into battle whistling, and whisting mas become voluntary part of their drill. No one who has not heard a regiment
 marching, every man whistling in time | and tune, can imagine now inspiring it is, but it may be heard today all over
 England. One of the most interesting features of this improvised music is the rehabilitation of the Marseilloise. Of course everyone knows that 1t Is the na- tional air of France but in England 1t has been appropriated oy the socialists. Now, however, it is the favorite march, ing tune of the British soldiers who are fighting alongside the French and every | regiment in England is whistling 1t on
 the march.

ELOQUENT DEFENSE OF FRATERNITIES IS MADE BY DIR. BENTON
 IN SPEECH AT DINNER
Continued from Page Five)

We hope to have William Allen White or Emporia, the celebrated author, here. We will invite Justice J. c. McReynolds O. the supreme court, former attorney gen. eral who belongs to the Phi Delt We will also invite Secretary Houston Our fra ternity is the only one that has ever had two cabinet members at one time-Secre- taries Houston and McReynolds.
 We also hope to have Hugh T. II. Miller. recently nominated for the United States Senate from Indiana. There Will also be invited Timothy Hogan of Ohio, who has been nominated 10 the United States Senate. These men and others representing the truest type of American manhod will | believe, give to those who oppose fraternities some food for thought.
 The idea of meeting in Birmingham. l believe, is very happy one. There is at this time sectional fraternities which have a chapter or three or four of five in certain sections. However, we have chapters all over the country, 34 in all, and we desired to meet in the south at this time. In Birmingham and in Alabama some of your most distinguished men are members of our fraternity, and they are proud of it. We hope to pick the best men of your colleges from time to time and get them into our fraternity and as- sist them to perform those duties which are devolving upon American manhood"

Spy's Story of Typhoid Germs


 we were told would make England unin- habitable at the outbreak of the war, has completely broken down. There is no doubt that England was full of spies. and there is no reason, In the light of the barbarities practiced by the Germans in Belgium. to doubt that they would have stuck at nothing to create a panic in England, but nothing has happened except wholesale round up of German spies and secret agents by the police. Many of the spies were found in posses sion of arms and explosives. In some German houses which were raided by the police as many as 25O rifles were found stored in the cellars, and dczens ofhaouses had from 20 to 50 rifles. l am told that | the police have captured some thousands of bombs filled with high explosives. but the most interesting capture of all was made at Aldershot, the great military station about 30 miles from London This was a German who kept high class barber shop. patronized largely by British officers. Not only did the police find there a large collection Of papers con. | taiiling lists of officers with notes oi their habits, their apparent wealth or lack of wealth. and their professional abilities but they found also number of tubes containing typhoid germs enough. fl l rlaced in the Aldershot reservoirs, to in- 1 feet every soldier in the camp. This particular man was courtmartialed and l shot within an hour.

Hunger Leads to Surrender :.

Talking of the uhlans, I am told that when one of them meets Belgian peas- ant the conversation Is as follows:
 Are you Belgian?" Yes"
 How often do you eat?" "Ffve times day
 ''I surrender
 The point of this story Is twofold. The Belgians are the greatest eaters in Flu rope, and the German commisartat at Liege Is said to have completely broken down. Hundreds of German soldiers cut off from their base of supplies did sur. render out of sheer starvation. knowin1
