BEE SWARM VISITS CITY,
ONE STINGS A PROFESSOR

, While Prof. W. G. Lewis and an
assistant were conveying a swarm of
bees to the Normal apiary yesterday
the busy little creatures became dis
satisfied as they were being carried
around the corner at Broadway and
Pacific street, and refused to be es-
Gprted any further.
One of them expressed its dissatis-
faction by fitting to the top of Prof.
Lewis head where it repeatedly in
serted his singer, before he could be
prevailed on to descend.
The swarm which had settled upon
the limb that the professor and his
companion were carrying, dropped to
the walk and surrounded an empty
pop bottle that had been left standing
near the edge of the pavement.
Professor Lewis obtained an empty
cigar box from a nearby grocery
store, and after persuading them to
follow their queen into the new quar-
ters, closed the lid and kept them Sc
cure until they were delivered to their
home on Normal Hill.

SENATOR H.C.LODC
VICES UNCLE SAM
TO ENLARGE NAVY

Schenectady, N. Y, June 9-Speak-
ing at the 10th commencement Of
Union College here today, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
urged that the United States prepare
for war, while at the same time CO.
operating in d movement for a world
union of nations to prevent war.
eff we are to secure our own peace
and do our part toward the mainten-
ance of world peace we must put
rhetoric, whether in speech or on pa
per, aside" he said. eve must refuse
to deceive ourselves or others. The
dominant fact today is the physical
force now unclaimed in this great
war.
armies and navies organized to
maintain peace serve the ends of peace
because there is no such incentive to
war as a rich, undefended and coun-
try, which by its condition invites ag-
gression.
ave should never forget that if
democracy is not both and able and
ready to defend itself. it will go down
in subsection before military autocracy
because the latter is the more eff
cient.
eve must bear in mind that from
the conflict which now convulses the
world there may possibly come events
which would force US to fight with all
our strength to preserve our freedom,
our democracy and our national life"
Fifty years after the close of the
Civil War the college conferred upon
the students who left their studies to
enter the army the baccalaureate de-
grees they would have received had
they been graduated. The living vet
Grams so honOred were Captain Edwin
Malaney, '63, Neponset, ILL.,; Major
James A. Allis, "a, Syracuse, n. Y;
Captain John S. Bradley, "a, Port
land, Ore, and James L. Seward, '64,
Lawrenceville, III.
These honary degrees were also con-
ferred; L. L. D., Henry Cabot Lodge,
Nahant, Mass; Lit. D., Prof. Edwin
A. Strong, '5S,Ypsilanti, Mich; D. D.,

HOT CAKES WIN BRIDE

Griddle cakes are ordinarily unro-
mantle, but aboard the Jacob A. SIAM
Ter, the young women's floating hotel
moored at the foot of East Twenty
third street, they lead to weddings.
AS the hundred young women who
make their home on the old ship we've
at dinner yesterday it was announced
that the daughters of the late John
Arbuckle, who have maintained the
Stamler, had decided to continue it as
a floating hotel permanently.
After the cheers had died away one
little lady felt so happy she announced
her engagement. She was Miss Lii
liam Dawson, II years old.
"Who's the man." everyone asked.
She hesitated a moment and then
announced: "Mr. George Becker"
"Our chef" gasped the hundred
girls.
Miss Dawson had fallen in love with
Becker's cakes and then did the natur-
al thing by falling in love with the
man who had made them.
Her sister, Miss Anna Dawson, is
to marry Frank Fruedel, a Brooklyn
shoe manufacturer. The double we'd
ding will take place aboard the float
ing hotel.

3 MEN IN AUTO HOLD UP
CASHIER, ROB HIM OF $500

New York, June 8-Another day
light holdup, this time by automobile
bandits, who robbed two men on their
way in buggy to deposit money in a
bank, took place in New York today.
The robbers got away with a satchel
containing $500. The victims were
George A. Listardt, cashier, and
Thomas ]. Boyd, superintendent of
branch office of the Borden's Condens-
ed Milk Co., who were driven through
sparsely settled district of the Bronx
to deposit collections.
They were held up at revolvers'
points by three men, who after beating
them, and stealing the satchel, ran
across a foot bridge over the railroad
tracks, entered an automobile and es-
capped. NE

MORTALITY IN WAR

Everyone knows war is perilous
and dangerous business, but it is i'm
possible to say just how many of the
soldiers who go into fight will fall
or to determine which ones will be
claimed by death. The only way to es-
innate a soldiers chances of escaping
the enemy's bullets is to study the
mortality figures of the various wars
in the past. Some years ago a care
full study of thousands of reports of
casualties in wars between 1741 and
1878 was made and it was found that
out Of every 100 men hit in battle
twenty-five died Immediately. Another
authority who has studied the matter
says that in Seven Years war AZ per
cent of the men engaged were killed.
In the Napoleonic wars the percentage
was 35, in the Crimean war Is, in the
Franco russian war Ia, in the South
African war and in the Russo-Japa-
nese war 25.
Statistics covering the mortality
among Civil War soldiers show that
the greatest number of fatalities oc-
Cured among the Maine artillery regi-
ment, which mustered more than 1900
men, and lost in killed and mortally
wounded over 420. Two-thirds Of the
500 men engaged in the assault on
Petersburg were killed in twenty min
utes. A New Hampshire regiment of
infantry, which numbered originally
976 men, lost IT'S during the war;
Pennsylvania regiment which number
ed 500 men lost 280; a regiment of
Wisconsin infantry lost 20 per cent OF
of IT'S numbers ard a Massachusetts,
regiment lost 40 per cent.
In 1870 German regiment engaged
in the desperate fighting at Marsha
Tour lost 40 per cent Of its men and
of the $40 British who vent into d
charge in the face of an unusually ter
rifle fire 240 were killed and wounded.

Mr.. Patton intended to spend an

Washington, June s.

Ny Dear Mr.. Bryan:
l accept your resignation only
because you insist upon its accept
ance; and | accept it with much
more than deep regret, with a
feeling of personal sorrow. Our
two years of close association
have been very delightful to me
Our judgments have accorded in
practically every matter Of Off
cial duty and of public policy I'M
til now; your support of the work
and purposes of the administra-
ton has been generous and loyal
beyond praise; your devotion to
the duties of your great office and
your eagerness to take advantage
of every great opportunity for
service it offered has been an ex-
ample to the rest of us; you have
earned our affectionate admira-
ton and friendship Even now
we are not separated in the OBJ
ject we seek, but only in the
method by which We seek it.
1t is for these reasons my feel
ings about your retirement from
the secretaryship of state goes so
much deeper than regret. l sim
cerely deplore it. Our objects are
the same and we ought to pursue
them together. l yield to your
desire only because l must, and
wish to bid you Godspeed in the
parting. We shall continue to
work for the same causes, even
when we do not work in the same
way.
With affectionate regard, sim
cerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson.

heart, namely, the prevention of
war.
/ therefore respectfully tender
my resignation, to take effect
when the note is sent, unless you
prefer an earlier hour. Alike de-
sirous of reaching a peaceful solu-
ton of the problems arising out
of the use of submarines against
merchantmen, we find ourselves
differing irreconcilably as to the
methods which should be employ
ed.
1t falls to your lot to speak of
ficially for the nation; consider
it to be none the less my duty to
endeavor. as a private citizen to
promote the end which you have
in view by means which you do
not feel at liberty to use.
In severing the intimate and
pleasant relations which have ex-
listed between US during the past
two years, permit me to acknowl-
edge the profound satisfaction
which it has given me to have as
ISOLATED with you in the impor-
tant work which has come before
the State Department and to
thank you for the courtesies ex-
tended.
With the heartiest good wishes
for your personal welfare and for
the success Of your administra-
ton, l am, my dear Mr.. Presi-
dent, Very truly yours,
W. J. Bryan.
