British Burned Library.

The Library OF the United States was
almost entirely wiped out when Gen.
Ross fired the Capitol in 1914. Jeffer-
son, man of great and varied attain
ments and deep student, possessed
the finest library in the United States
next to the one that had suffered from
British depredations. He offered it to
the government as a nucleus for a new
library. and it was purchased for the
sum of $23,95O.
The exhibit begins with engravings
or JEFFERSON by various opponents of
the French and German as well as the
American schools. OF particular in
terest is rare one by Henry Wolf
after the portrait by Charles Wilson
Peale and one made by Boucher-Des-
movers during the period of Jeffersons
ambassadorship to France. A third,
the only one in colors. is also rare,
and is the result of the skill of Thad-
deus Kosciusko, the Polish patriot. It
is distinctly unf1attering. but gives
most interesting profile view of the
great statesman The engravings also
include representations of the mono
gram and coat-of-arms used by the
third President.

LONDON IS ALIVE
 WITH GREEK SAILORS

LONDON, April 17-There have been more Greek sailors in London in every month since the war b.gan than formerly in a whole year. Span ish and Italian sailors have also been unusually numerous.
 The large number of foreign sail ors from the Mediterranean in var ious British ports shows the change in shipping due to the war, for the carrying that formerly went to the Germans is now in the hands of the neutrals. There are plenty of Ger. man ships lying up in the southern ports, but they fear to venture out.
 Like the Italian merchant marine the Greek consists largely of slow steamers bought second hand from the British. These boats come uu laden with wines, fruits. marble and the Egyptian cotton.

REGRETS NOT HAVING
 COAL|NG STATIONS

ROTTERDAM, April 17-German newspapers express regret that Ger many did not more adequately pro tect her foreign possessions so that they could have become strong coal ing stations and centers for naval operations. The Tageszeitung, com menting on the loss of the Dresden, says:
 "The final results have proved that it is impossible to have power on the ocean without strong points of support on the land. That our cruis- CTS were able to remain on the oceans so long as they did was simply due to individual qualities. The only success would have been if the sea trade of the enemy had been so dam aged as to cut off his supplies. We ought to have known these things beforehand, but our foreign stations were very slack.

MEXICAN FACE A STARVATION
 PROBLEM

WASHINGTON, April 16-Dispatch- es received here this morning from Mexico City state that the conditions there are serious, and that a crisis will develop unless the populace is relieved from the possibility of star vation. The lack of foodstuffs Is alarming, and the interruption of com munication between the capital and the seacoast has effectually prevent ed any relief supplies reaching the city. The state department has again urged upon Carranza the vital neces- sity of cooperating with his opponents so that food and supplies can be car ried over the railroad from Vera Cruz.

WOMEN OF ALASKA ENTITLED TO
 HOLD OFFICE

How the judiciary committee of the house of representatives at Juneau arrived at the conclusion that the women of Alaska have a right to vote ! under the law passed at the first ses- sion of the legislature is explained in letter received from Ernest B. Collins, speaker of the house.
 In this letter MT. Collins states that he took with him from Fairbanks a bill to be introduced into the legisla- ture providing for giving the women of the territory the right to vote, but after getting there he took the mat ter up with the judiciary committee and with other lawyers, and they agreed that the present law permits women to hold municipal offices, but does not give them the right to serve
The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-17

as jurors. MT. Collins stated that 1t would not be advantageous. in his opinion, for women to be called as jurors.
 In MT. Collins letter he quotes as follows from a letter he had received from John Rustgard, on March Il, who has been serving as District At torney for the First division:
 "In answer to your question as to whether a woman is eligible for the office of a member of the common council of a municipality in Alaska, l beg to state that any person who is a qualified voter in a municipality is eligible to any office in the munich pality for which he would be lawfully entitled to vote. Inasmuch as Chap. One of the session laws of the legis- lature of Alaska for 1913 extended the right of suffrage to women, the right to hold office was thereby also extend ed to them, except where the laws ex- pressly provide to the contrary, and no law with which I am acquainted forbids women from holding office in a municipality"

REPULSE D
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,

The statement in the Russian Of
fetal report that there had been fight
ing to the southeast of Uzsok Pass
in the interior of Dukla Pass and
to the southeast of Buskid Pass in
dicates the extent of the struggle for
the possession Of these important
strategic points.
The attempt of a German submar-
inc, as officially reported. to torpedo
the British hospital ship Asturias has
attracted great deal of attention
in England, and it is strongly con-
demned.
There has been another skirmish
between the British and Turkish
scouts east OF the Suez canal, near
lsmalia. The Turks were driven off
with some loss and the British had
six men wounded The opinion still
prevails in London that the Turks
will not attempt to cross the desert
with large force, and that the pres
ent pin pricks were arranged only TO
compel the British to keep troops in
Egypt instead of sending them to
France.

WOULD NOT
SACRIFICE PRINCIPLE FOR GAIN

Not long ago something strange
occurred in the manufacturing world
4 st. LOuisan, Clarence IL. Howard
president of the Commonwealth Steel
company, refused contract for two
million dollars worth of shrapnel
steel offered to him by agents Of the
allies. He was actuated in doing so
by principles Of humanity. If all
manufacturers were like Mr.. Howard,
the European war would quickly end
and the probabilities Of future wars
would be small. Mr.. Howard Is a
Christian Scientist II was said he
refused the contract because OF Chris
tian Science belief. Those who know
him, however, say that his religious
belief had nothing to do with it,
that he would have acted the same
had he belonged to any other church.
We believe what his friends say. Mr..
Howard's action shows him to be one
OF the big men Of the country. He
is so big that he would not sacrifice
principle for profit There are not
many Of his kind either in big or
little business. ST. Louis can con-
graduate Itself that it has Mr. How
ard He Is a real asset.
Mr. Howard was born at Centralia
Illinois. He is in the prime Of life
AS youth he lived in Nebraska a
while, coming to st. Louis in 1882.
He attended the manual training
school conducted by Calvin VI. Wood
ward graduating in 1885 and receiv-
ing the big honors Of his class and a
medal. He entered the Missouri Pa
ciiic shops, left them TO become su-
perintendent Of the Missouri Car
and Foundry company's plant in In
diana. He advanced rapidly from one
place to another and ten years ago
became the controlling factor in the
Commonwealth Steel company. His
concern employs a large number of
men and it Is said that no other
concern in America displays more
practical interest in the welfare OF
its employees.
When, as a boy, young Howard left
home to seek his own way, his moth

THRIFT TALK
A PROFIT
SHARING PLAN
EMPLOYED BY A LARGE FLOUR
MILLING COMPANY WITH ITS
zoo EMPLOYEES AND IT FOSTER
ED THRIFT.

Spend your money after you
have earned it; never before
Dr.. Lyman Abbott.
a. azllessa. 2.xa
One of the large Minneapolis flour
milling companies early in the winter
gave every one of its 700 employees a
check for s25 with instructions to take
it to a savings bank and deposit it, the
check being valueless otherwise.
The object of these gifts was to fos-
ter thrift among the employees. In or
der that the saving habit, once started
by the opening of the account, may be
kept up, an additional incentive to save
part of their earnings has been made
to the company's workers.
This is embodied in letter which
reads in part as follows:
"If you continue in our employ until
November /, 1915, bring your savings
bank book to US. We will then give
a
in your bank balance in excess of the
original $25.
"In other words, if your bank book
show $45 on deposit November /, 1915,
we will add SO to your savings. If
your book shows $75 on deposit on No
vember /, 1915, we will add $25 to
your savings, etc.
'In no case will the amount paid un-
der the arrangement exceed $25."
One of the remarkable features was
that large number took to the bank
in addition to their gift check, say
ings that never had been deposited
One man brought $500 and a large
number added to the check enough
to insure the payment of $25 check
November l, 1915.
Several of the employees had sav-
ings accounts already and merely ad-
ded the check to their savings Two
hundred and seventy-four opened saw
ings accounts the day the company
issued the check.
This is a really practical form of
profit sharing as it helps people to
help themselves and encourages the
formation of permanent habit of sys-
tematic economy.
