ROOSEVELT'S
FOUNDATIONS.

Theodore Roosevelt will not appeal
to the great mass of American peo-
pie with his theory that the United
States should follow the example of
Prussia by becoming an armed camp.
The former President seems anxious
to find hobby. and the present rela-
tions between the Kaiser and the
United States is affording him such :;
contrivance. He has several times
during the past year minated that
the United States should inaugurate
compulsory military service upon It's
male population. custom odlouS to
the nations which use such a proce-
dure to bring peace-loving PEOPLE to
the camp, and while President he
gave broad hints that this country
should take upon itself this total
" unnecessary burden--a burden
thousands of foreigners leave their
native homes to escape.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in : an address at
military instruction camp at PlattSS-
burg. n. Y. last night came out
for enforced military training III the
United States. Speaking of the work
in the camp, he said: Camps like this
should be universal and obligatory
for all young men,"
/ He declared that Americans vino
are not right thinking should be
made to serve. for a democracy has
full right to the service of its citizen

GERMANY
GRANTED TIME

In compliance with Germany's re-
quest, the administration has now en-
tered upon a period of waiting for
the Berlin report on the sinking of
the Arabic. No action will be taken
until Germany's side of the case is
officially before this government.
In the meantime President Wilson
has been informed from sources close
to Count Won Berastorff, the German
Ambassador, thst the next communi-
cation from Berlin on the sinking Of
the White STIR liner Arabic will be
of a character satisfactory to the
United States.
Let us, therefore, await time
with patience until officials capable of
clearing the atmosphere shall have
handled the issue and arrived at an
amicable settlement. Newspaper
headlines to the effect that Germany
hes sent a gruging apology are i'll
timed and we prefer to believe that
that country is as anxious TO avoid a
rupture as is the United States.
Nothing is more creditable to Ger
many in it's relations with the United
States than the fidelity of the Ger
man ambassador at Washington in
seeking to preserve peace between
the two countries. Count BernstoSf
is sustaining a tremendous burden.
Added to the responsibility which
he shares in common with the men
of his nation is the heavy load of
diplomatic difficulties that have ari-
sen in the path of German-Ameri-
can relations. He may be blamed for
acts or countenance of acts that may
be proper subjects for criticism. But
any such acts have been in the direc-
ton of what his people believe to be
legitimate activity for the forming of
sentiment in this country and for
the embarrassment of the Allies in
their dependence upon this country as
source of war SUPPLIES. But the Ger
man ambassador is unfeignedly soli-
citous for the maintenance OF gooo
relations with this country and no
one can justly point to him as a mali
cious marplot or disturber of Ameri-
can peace. Loyal to his land and his
engagements. he is nevertheless full
ly appreciative of the excellence OF
maintaining peace between Germany
and the United States both for pre-
sent benefit and for future interest.
And in his endeavors to secure
this end he is bearing peculiarly
heavy burden and it may be believed
he is seeking to be just. 1t is well
to say this in behalf of Count Bern
storff in view of the misconstruction
to which some things printed are
subject. Not infallible in wisdom at
all times. perhaps. count Bernstorff

The day came for our depar-

and she said, as we prepared to
hoist the mainsail:

1t all with your own hands,"
"But there were two other
hands," l answered: 1.-TWO small
hands. and don't say that was
a phrase, also, of your father

head, and held her hands up for
inspection.

Our comradeship was becoming
tremulous. l had mastered my
love long and we'll, but now IL
was mastering me. Wilfully had
1t disobeyed and won my eyes to
speech, and now it was winning
my tongue-ay, and my lips, for
they were mad this moment to
kiss the two small hands which
had toiled so faithfully and hard.
And !, 200, was mad. There was
a cry in my being like bugles
calling me 10 her. And there was
a wind blowing upon me which
p / could not resist, swaying the
very body of me till l leaned to-
ward her, all unconscious that

Charles O'Conor, one of the leaders Of the
New York bar forty years ago, earned great
deal OF money and might have earned much
more, although the days of trusts were still
far distant then. For his services in the For

fees Of $4,000 to 100000 as any lawyer Of

Gould stripped Cyrus w. Field of nearly all
his securities, and is credited with saying:
I'VE will leave Uncle Cyrus his real estate"
referring to the property at ! Broadway. and

that he would not have seen his brother Cyrus
practically ruined nor would Gould have at

1t was said Of S. L. M. Barlow who died in
