bia, in the service of the american
Red Cross, as told in the New York
World, leaves an example to his pro-
fession and to the world Of self-sac-
rificfng service to humanity.
When the history of this conflict
of nations is written. 1t must include
full chapter on the disinterested
and wholly admirable work Of Amerl-
can surgeons in the army hospitals of
Europe. Men of the highest profess
sional standing in this country have
generously devoted their talent to the
relief of the wounded, in all cases at
personal loss and in many at grave
personal risk The doctors at least
have not quibbled about neutrality.
All the belligerent powers have bene-
fitted by their skill and under condi-
tons which have won them the high
est official praise.
The Joffres and the Hindenburgs
necessarily get the popular plaudits.
But the self-sacriflcing men who
have crossed the ocean to help save
lives where others were wasting
them, the Blakes and Carrels, mus,
have their just appreciation and
their proper place in the record.

Why Republicans Hope.

Mark Sullivan in Golfers: 1t is in
teresting to look into the facts and
reasons which underlie the complete
confidence which the republicans have
about the elections next year. (The
republican leaders expect to regain
not only the presidency and the
house, but the senate as well1 The
main argument which the republicans
will put forward is that the demo
Gratis have been extravagant and loose
in their management OF the govern
ment. This charge will be easy to
prove. The resounding pledge of
economy which the democrats made
quoted, and their performances under
that pledge will be made familiar to
every voter. 1t is not too much to say
that the present democratic congress
has been the most wantonly extrava
CANT in history. On this issue the
democrats will be completely on the
defensive, for the facts speak plainly
| for themselves, and, in addition, a
great many candid democrats are on
record against their own party with
frank and indignant charges OF ex
travagances and bad faith to their
platform.
On the inefficiency charge the re
pubhcans will not only call attention
to many faciliar cases of department
tai looseness, but will make much Of
the fact that, through unwise insist
ence on passing the shipping bill, tht

folkdom.
Whence they came has never been
settled to certainty. All manner OF

heritors Of the restless curse of their
father.
The Gypsies themselves have never
protested to know who they are or
where they came from, but they have
shown great readiness to accept the
conclusions on this subject OF the
people among whom they lived. 1t
was not until the growth Of compare

beginning OF the last century that
scientists concluded the Gypsies to be
a wandering low-caste tribe from

sources.
