TRUE GREATNESS
By Walt Mason

When information we would rake, concerning great men here, we first in- quire how much they make-how many bones a year. How oft we read of some rich lad who rose from low estate; for years he chased the shining scad, and now he's truly great. He has five mill lions put away, and will have more, I guess: and it's superfluous to say that this is true success. O Poet, cease your lays to sing, and break your harp to- dayi Here comes the wealthy gutno king, who has the right of way. O Painter throw away your brush, for arts on Hasbeen street, and join the surging throngs that rush to kneel at Croesus' feet. Inventor with the pale white brow. and plans beyond compare don't bore us with your pipe dreams nowhere comes a millionaire, The moralst. in keen distress, surveys this sordid earth, where there's no stand ard of success, save what a man is worth The wonder is we can admire the man that Lincoln was, who had for money no desire, and fought in virtues cause.

LAW FOUND TO
HOLD ARMY EXPERTS
But It Affects Only Those Not
Having Served Eight
Years.
PRISON PENALTY IN ACT

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-An old law.
enacted In 1900. which may be invoked
by the Acknowledgement in rendering
his decision as to whether army off,
GERS have the right to resign any time
after they have served eight years was
discovered here to-day by officials OF
the War Department interested in the
situation developing from the number
of officers leaving the service to accept
offers from ordnance manufacturers.
This law says that any Arm or cor
poration or individual seeking to entice
officers Of the Government into their
service shall he held guilty Of a mis-
demeanor. Punishment by a nne Of not
more han $50 or imprisonment for three
months Is provided.
What force. II any, the Attorney
General will give to this law IL not vet
known. II was the general opinion
among army officers tina the punish
ment provided by the law Is hardly suf-
fcient to deter companies from seek
ing to get tho services OF ordnance and
powder experts OF the military service.
1t is the general belief here that the
right Of army officers to resign after
they have served eight years cannot
successfully be contested.
The War Department is ~. only SUI
fering from the loss Of ordnance experts
as the result Of going to commercial en-
terprises. but is also being Effected by
ammunition makers making most at
tractive offers to the skilled workmen az
the Government arsenals. Recently the
pay OF a number OF foremen In the
Frankford arsenal was increased to hold
them In the Government service.
OBJECTIONS have not been very nu-
merous thus far, as the workmen seem
TO feel that the permanency o. :heir Gov
positions compensates largely
for the larger pay offered BY the com
mercial concerns. BY an elaborate sys-
tenn OF training the Wal Department has
developed in all its a~rsenals AZ many as
three or four men wholly competent for
every important position.
II is said that the private companies
would have to take three men from
every important position In the Govern
ment plants before any DISCRIMINATION
or hampering OF the army work would
result.
IL was pointed out here today that In
the long run Il might be as we'll for the
interests ~ the Government TO have
some Of It's trained ordnance experts in
the employ of private companies.
In time Of war. II was declared. the
Government PLANS could produce only
about l per cent. Of the munitions re-
quired for such Hghtine as hat in Eu-
rope and the private plants " sud have
to make UP the difference.
To have these plants organized and
directed by men OF army experience
would. II Is believed. make their services
to the Government Just so much more
satisfactory.

The dispute over cotton prices q be
paid by the British Government involves
the claim Of The American shippers that
advances in prices since their cotton
was sold to persons in Germany render
them responsible for the difference.
The British Government has insisted
that II would pay only the contract price
at which the cotton was sold. II is
paying on the basis OF 10 cents a pound
until the dispute is finally settled. The
contract price was IL cents. but
the price OF cotton In Germany to-day'
ID more than IS cents.
This difference, the American shippers
they will have to pay to their Gus
in Germany since they are liable
to claims for default Of contract in fall
ing to deliver the cotton to the German
purchasers. who VIII now have to buy
in the German market at an advance in
price.
They insist. therefore, that the British
pay the increase. The
have held that since 1t is the
British policy that is causing the scarcity
and consequent rise Of price of cotton
in Germany. Great Britain ought not
to be asked to pay for it.
