WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. sS.-
The best they can find to talk about
on the subject OF the outcome OF the
next Republican national convention
is its uncertainty. BY they" We mean
the large-bore human guns OF national
politics and the correspondents who
specialize In that large and never
wearying subject. Nobody knows
what that convention is going 10

The last convention 10 which the

who would he the Republican narty's
presidential candidate. Even at this
distance which separates them now
from next June. in 1855 there was n
lively bunch OF candidates and each
had systematic organization of his
own. There was 4 large slice OF pub
lie sentiment behind each.
But that is not the case at the pres.
ent time. or the twelve prospcctiyes,
there isn't one of them who has any
organization TO speak OF behind him.
There isn't any organized sentiment
for any one of them. All OF them
have their followers in all parts OF
the country, but there hasn't been
any noticeable effort made by any.
body to harness up party sentiment
for this, that or the other aspirant. 1t
has Just been allowed to drift.
About the only certainty connected
with this uncertainty is the general
belief that the next Republican ma.

when the delegates TO next years con

suited for the job. But who he will
be, that is boss OF quite another
hue.
In sections there is a sentiment that

is restricted to geographical blocks,
For instance, in New York and nearby
states, there Is pronounced opinion
favorable to Elihu Root. Here and
there intermittently throughout the

LONDON, July 22-(By Mail. D
Harry LADDERS Scotch is up.
In burning letter to London
newspaper following reported in
cident wherein sixty wounded Scotch
Highlanders were taken out of their
cots on trans-channel ship to make
room for as many wounded Germans,
the famous Scotch comedian today
eliminated all comedy.
The letter reads:
casion on which British soldiers, en-
route from Harve to Southampton, the
majority of them Blackwatch, 42nd
Highlanders and Gordons, were taken
out of their cots to make room for
Germans. Through being removed it
was stated tina one of the British
soldiers subsequently died and that
the Germans were supplied with fresh
eggs and bread while our British
wounded soldiers only had biscuits.
"f this is true, who is to blame ?
And what is the punishment for such
neglectful conduct? am expressing
the feelings of great number of
Scotchmen in writing this. We are
at war, and when case of this
kind crops up much damage may be
the result. Scotland demands the full
lest investigation at once. To be
treated as our soldiers have is more
than Scotland can tolerate. The
enemy is giving no quarter. Why
our brave lads should meet such ne
glect after fighting and bleeding is
more than l can comprehend"

The German Red Cross some time
ago suggested that all Germans who
have foreign coins or postage STAINS
should turn them over to the order
for its work at the front. Those
persons who collected six dollars
worth of these coins or stamps were
offered medallion bearing the Ger
man eagle, the whole being made of
metal from French and English guns
captured in battle. The closing OF
the three months campaign shows
that the scheme has attracted over
$4,000 contributors, of whom six
hundred are entitled to the medalli-
on.
