One hundred years ago today Ma

greatest personal triumph ever scor-
ed by any warrior. After landing in
France on his return from his exile

followers proceeded to Grenob1e. On
the eighth Of March the Emperor set
out for Lyons with an army of 1000
men at his back, every man ready to
die Tor his beloved leader. Although
he had force eight times greater
than than that he had brought to France.
still 1000 men were not many with
which to effect the conquest of a,
great nation.

CHARITIES AND HOUSING
CORRECTIONS WILL BE
TOTALLED THIS EVENING

Three or four times as many people
are showing an interest in the hnan-
cfa1 affairs and public welfare work
IF the Charity Organization society
and the Housing association as were
sufficiently interested through the nrse
year OF these organizations to contrib
ute to the budgets. The campaign for
the budgets for 1915 shows a large
number of new names on the hst OF
contributors, and the directors or the
organizations think that where a per-
son gives money to a cause, the real
interest of the contributoe follows the
money into the cause.
What the campaign for funds VIII
amount to cannot be determined until
tonight. when the men who have been
seeking subscriptions hold their final
meeting at the Y. M. G. A. at o'clock.
Both associations are receiving assur-
ances in the form of money that men
and women who contributed last year
with practically no exceptions renew
their pledges. But some of the renew
ais will not come immediately. as

ment went right ahead and launched
the newest super.dreadnaught, the
Arizona, last Saturday; and never
ever mentioned the matter to Mr..
Bryan. The new battlship Is the
mightiest ship in the navy and one OF
the greatest ships in the world.
Now that the Arizona has been sent
on its way from the Brooklyn navy
yard. work will be started on the new
super-dreadnaught California.
The United States needs more bat
tleships, regardless Of all that may be
said to the contrary. We all want
peace. OF course; but 81 OF the best
ways to preserve peace IN these days
| is TO make the other fellow feel that
he can't afford 10 insult you without
paying the consequences.
Some day. perhaps, there will be
an international court of arbitration,
where all the international disputes
will be taken are OF without the loss
Of life in settling the questions on the
battle fields and on the seas. But
that day has not yet arrived-it is no.
even within the range of vision. And
until the day arrives when there Will
be a court Of arbitration, it should
be the policy Of the United States TO

prepared to defend its rights by force
If need be.
While the German system Of build.

that she is facing. had she not been

We are not urging that the United
States make such preparation for war
as did Germany, but this country

ed for war. BY all means seek peace in
every crisis. through the medium OF
the interchange " diplomatic cores
p~ondence; but the diplomatic efforts
for peace will have much more effect
when the party on the other end OF the
controversy understands that If the
plans for peace fall through the
United States is prepared to settle the
question in another way. Peace in.
surance is a good investment, like anE

MUCH MATERIAL.

The announcement emanating from
washington Of the entrance Of Mr..
Thomas ". Fleming of this city in
me race for congress to I'LL the place
now held by Major NJ. NJ. Nicely, also
q this city, has brought forth many
suggestions Of the vast amount Of con.
grsssioral timber that Fairmont pos
sesses.
Probably no city Of its size IN the
country contains more men Of the Re,
publican party that are qualified for
the office Of Congressman.
n addition to Mr.. Fleming, there
has been suggested the name Of Judge
John W. Mason. that stalwart of the
Republican party, who was fighting the
bsttles Of the Republican party when
many Of the younger men were mere
boys. and who continues to be a
giaut in the councils of his party.
Nh. Q. e. Hutchinson. has been sug-
gested as q business man who would

manner In which he took care Of the

estes shows that he is an executive

Judge E. F. Morgan, also possesses

THE cLEMENcEAu CASE"
A rare treat Is in store for lovers OF
Celestial antiques, draperies and por.
celatns. when they see on the screen
in the William Fox production Of The
Clemenceau Case" by Alexandra
Dumas, the finest specimens OF such
priceless objects in the scene in las
boudoir. The grinning idols, squat
Buddha. heavily embroidered hngings
and exquisite Chinese ~porce!ains are
all from the collection OF the late ].
P. Morgan. and their recent exhibition
at the Metropolitan Museum OF Art n
New York City created an immense
amount Of discussion. In all the speci-
mems used in The Clemenceau Case"
are worth in the neighborhood OF
$250.000. The grinning Buddha that
stands by LAS couch is the gem OF the
collection. It comes from the Temple
OF Kan Esh Kai, in the center OF Jan.
ton province. China, and was seized
during the Boxer rebellion by an
American officer. It is supposed TO be
at least two thousand years old. Mr..
Fox, who IS a personal friend OF J. T.
Morgan, engineered the deal by which
the antiques seen were loaned to d.
rector Herbert Brenon. A special
guard was detailed to watch them day
and night. After the scenes IN which
thew were used had been completed
they were taken under guard back TO
their room at the Metropolitan
Museum. This is the first time on
record that such costly, well-nigh price.

While there is a similarity between
the Kentucky booze case decided by
the United States Supreme Court on
Monday against that state and in favor
Of the Adams Express company, or
the interstate liquor shippers. and the
two cases in which West Virginia is
interested, there is a difference. and
Prohibition Commissioner Fred u
Blue and the Anti-Saloon League peo'
ple hope that the court will view 1t as
n yerv wide difference. In their argu'
ments recently in the court they point
ed It out, and in an interview with a
reported at that time. Mr.. Blue stated
that it was both possible and probable
for Kentucky to lose her suit and west
Virginia to win hers.
While the express company sued the
state Of Kentucky for interfering with
its booze" business. in the West Eir'
einia cases It is the James Clark Its'
filling company. which is suing the
express companies, n the Western
Maryland Railroad company being sued
as such. They refused to accept
booze shipments offered them by the
distilling company, falling back on the
West Virginia prohibition laws as their
reason for so doing. The action taken
in these two cases on Monday was 10

the plaintiff in these two cases.

"THE FASCINATING WIDOW"
AT THE AiPPODRoME


THE Fascinating Widow" a bright.
sparkling musical comedy. opens a
three days engagement at the Hippo
drome this afternoon. The company.
one OF the largest that has ever played
here, is made up OF fifteen talented
artists who present plenty OF tunetul
music and wholesome comedy. The
Jackson and Andrews production
comes here after many weeks OF sue
cess in the large cities. There is a
pleasing story in the play, in which a
fascinating and dashing young widow
applies at a matrimonial bureau. in
search of a second companion. Many
laughable situations arise and some
original comedy of the rapid fire va
riety results. The comedy roles are
entrusted to Messrs. Jackson, Oswald
and Golden, and each Of them is seen
to the best advantage. Miss Allie
Payne. as the widow. is a pretty, vi
vacious Young lady with a charming
figure and pleasing voice. Miss Payne
sings several Of the latest musical
scores. The sketch IS ~gorgeously
mounted. with special scenery and
electrical effects.
There is not a dull second during the
entire time the play is on. The play
is not overdone. as are many musical
comedies. but. nevertheless, the funny
situations. of which there are dozens.
are none the less effective. The two
comedians present esveral harmony
singing numbers that are said to be
great. In addition to this big show the
following pictures will be shown:

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
NO BANK DICTATOR NEEDED.

M DAMN OlNNNASn
Pennsylvania bankers at their Cape
May convention voiced a national SEN
timent when they urged that the extra
ordinary powers be taken away from
the comptroller OF the currency. Since
the inauguration of the Federal Re
serve system, there is no longer any
need for the concentration OF so much
authority in the hands Of n man.
Congress imagined it vas centering all
national authority for the conduct OF
banks in the Federal Reserve board,
but the Law fails to do that. The com
ptroller has still much greater power
in the actual management OF banks,
or appear to have, than has the board
itself.
It is obvious that an INSCRIPTIONS or
vengeful man in that position might be
able TO pay off old scores to the great
detriment OF banks, bankers, deposit
tors and borrowers. For political or
financial reasons he could harry TINS
or that bank while overlooking similar
offenses in other institutions. Per
sonal animosities might easily play far
too great a part in the conduct OF ms
