Playing soldier is very popular with
the young folks of the nations at war
in Europe. They do not realize what
a terrible calamity war is and in their
innocence think it is grand to be a SOL
der. Recently at Aldershot. which is
a great military camp in England, the
camera man snapped a little boy ar
rayed in the uniform of hussar. The
hussars are cavalrymen and in times
of peace wear a gorgeous uniform or
namented with gold braid, and on their
heads are caps or shakos made Of fur.

ARBITRATE FRYE CASE
The Hague Tribunal Is Likely to Pass
on the Rights OF Old
Treaty.

Washington, D. G., Aug, 6.--America
probably win accept Germany's PROPOSE
ton to submit the Frye case, as gem
eral test of the Prussian-American
treaty Of 1928, to The Hague.
High officials said yesterday that while
the controversy was not of the kind to
warrant break, settlement is impera-
tive. The question hinges on Germany's
right to sink contraband- carrying Amer
lean ships. Pending arbitration, it was
expected America would accept Ger
many's offer to pay for the Frye, with
the understanding that the payment does
not constitute waiver, either by Ger
many or America, of their respective in
of the treaty.
No action was looked for relative to
the British note, rejecting Americas
claim to freedom of the seas, until Presi-
dent Wilson returns to Washington.
An early protest to France was fore
seen against retention Of the steamship
Dacia, the Hamburg American vessel

Presidents Wanted.

The universities Of the war West ara
joining this year with great unanimity
in a scramble for new presidents. The
state universities Of Idaho and Montana

right men to assume the leadership Of
those two institutions. So has the col
lege at Pullman, Wash. The University
OF Washington has Just chosen an east
ern professor 10 its presidency after an
unhappy wraugle that drove President
Kane from his place. AZ the University
Of Utah there has been an uphesyal
that threw no fewer than IL professors
out Of their chairs, and there is small
prospect Of peace until the whole admin
isfration i changed. AT Leland Stanford
there are persistent rumors that Presi-
dent Branner. who has not been a wholly
satisfactory successor Of Dr. Jordan. has
resigned. or IL about 10 resign.
The universities Of the far West arc

$ols,5ss from Nov. 16, 1914, to June 30

greater than earnings. Although under
the law the banks are allowed dividends
up to six per cent. after expenses are
paid, it was said that none planned to
declare dividends at this time. About 60
per cent. of the money earned by all the
banks was through discount OF notes.

A Blindman's "Bluff" That Was Called.

The American Magazine has been Of
fering prizes for the best letters entitled
"The Most Extraordinary Coincidence
Know OF" Prize-winning Letters are
published in the August number. Fol
lowing is one of these letters. IL is
from a preacher who relates remarkable
experience with a blind man:
"While the writer was pastor of y
church in central Ohio, a stranger came
to our prayer meeting service, one Thurs
day evening. and with the usual hesita
ton of the blind, felt his way to seat,
When opportunity was given TO the peo-
| pie to take part in the service, he rose
and made a modest and apparently sin
eere talk. and gave a little of his his.
tory. He was blind; was on his way
from Waco, Tex, TO visit his son in Buff
falo. His funds were insufficient, and
he had been obliged to leave the train
at our city; learning that this was pray
or meeting night. he naturally sought
the association Of Christian people OF
his own faith, and 50 on.
After the service a generous elder
took our blind visitor in charge, sent
him to a hotel for the night, and the
next morning gave him his fare 10 Buff
faIe The stranger was grateful. He
would return the money as soon a. he
reached Buffalo. and would leave his
beautiful ivory. headed cane a. security
But who would take q blind mans

1T was a slick game and Il worked.
No money ever came back.
s'Some six years later We were serving
another church in northwestern Ohio.
On Sabbath evening a man was led
into the young peoples meeting by the
village marshal. and soon another gen
erous hearted elder stood up and said
who needed help. He was on bis way
from Texas 10 Detroit 20 see bis son. |

! Washington, d. c., Aug. 6--Americar
forces yesterday were maintaining com.
plete quiet in Hayti. The battlcshiI
Connecticut, after landing marines at
Port -au-Prince, has arrived at Cape Hay
tien, the latest center of revolutionary
activity General Bobo with some troops
tried to enter Cape Haytien Wednesday
Admiral Caperton reported yesterday,
but several warning shots from the
United States coast survey yacht Eagle
frightened them away. The commander
of the gunboat Nashville sent a warn
ing to General Bobo that If he returned
again with "unfriendly Intentions he
would be fred upon. Cape Haytien now
is clear of armed troops of the revolu-
tionists, and formation of native com
mittee of safety has begun. Every effort
is being made, navy department Off
cials say, to place the situation in the
hands of native authorities as soon as
possible.
President Wilson is keeping a close
watch on the situation in Hayti All
advices from the island republic relat-
ing to conditions there are being for
warded to the summer White House as
rapidly as they arrive.
Secretary Lansing has spent several
hours each day lately in conference with
Americans familiar with Hayti. No po-
litical steps have been determined upon
by this government, however, and prob.
ably none will be planned until some
form of government has been established
with which the United States may ne
gotiate.
Advices from Rear Admiral Caperton
indicate that the peace commission dis |
patches from Port -au- Prince to Cape |
Haytien to persuade the reyolutionists |
to disarm, did not succeed. Although |
General Blot, the government command
ar, is reported to have resigned his COM
mand, and some of his troops to have |
iisarmed, the revolutionary forces under
5eneral Bobo are said to have rejected I
.he proposals. Blot is reported to have
agreed to head movement for the or.
yanization of a commission to manage

Alliance
DOCTOR HEXAMER
EULOGIZES TEUTON
In United States in Speech
at San Francisco EX-
position

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-German in
fuence in America for freedom, educa
tion. religion, culture and good citizen
ship was proclaimed second to none y
an address here yesterday by DR.. Z. j
Hexamer of Pennsylvania, president O.
the National German American alliance
DR.. Hexamer was the principal speak
er at German day at the Panama
Pacific exposition.
"What Greece was to Rome" he said
"that Germany in the widest sense Is
to our beloved land, only with the fur
tber distinction and advantage in our
favor that the Greek brought to Rome
with his culture, disgusting sensual vices,
while the German with his culture brings
to his new home sturdy integrity and
a pure and happy family life"
German day" at the exposition was
set for early August, he explained, IN
commemoration of manifestoes issued IN
Philadelphia Aug. /, ITS, by German
churches and societies declaring for indie
pendence.
He cited historians to show that at
the battle of Long Island, "the Thermo-
pvlae OF the American Revolution" Penn
sylyania rifemen under the German col
onel, John Peter kiehlein, saved the
American army.
"eThe Tenton does not derive law d.
rectly from the will of the nation, the
speaker quoted. He claims for himself
an Unborn right, which the state must
protect, but which it does not create and
for which he is ready to fight against the
world"
The speaker said the German American
casks no political favors and prostitutes
his vote for no one" He said the cen
sus showed that Germany had furnished
"about 30 per cent of our so-called for
eign population, while England-whieh
quote without insidiousness for compari-
son only--gave us about Ii per cent, IN
GLIDING those from Wales.
.Quiet in their tastes, deeply absorbed
in the peaceful vocations of life, unde-
monstrative to the verge of diffidence,
without clannish propensities, they have
permitted their more aggressive neigh
bors to deny them proper place even
on the historic page"
In addition to the adoption Wednesday
of resolution protesting against the
traffic in war materials between the
United States and the enemies of Ger
many. the German-American alliance rec
commended the divorcing of the tariff |
from politics; provided that in all fu-
tnre city, county, state and national cleo |
tons members of the alliance shall work |
and vote for only such candidates as are
favorable to German-American principles
and ideals and pledged the organization
to use its influence to place the saloon
and liquor business on a healthy, higher
and more dignified plane.
