the marriage on board the ship of Miss
Marion Rubincom of Philadelphia and
Berton Braley of New York. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones of Chicago. a member
OF the peace party. The bride and
groom also sailed.
The crush of belated passengers at
the sailing pier of the Oscar II was al
most equaled by an eleventh hour rush
at the office of the Scandinavian
American line on lower Broadway Be
ginning shortly before noon trains ar
irving in the city brought prospective
peace advocates and newspaper corre-
spondents by the score.

Washington We're in the hands of a
representative OF Mr.. Ford who was on
hand to see that they went TO the proper
parties. AS the hour of sailing drew
near all those at the office We're di
rected to go to the ship and complete
their arrangements there.
An hour before sailing time the
crowd at the dock became so great that
police reserves had to be called to
keep the gansWays clear for pas
aboard the baggage. After the ship
had been cleared of visitors and the
captain was waiting the word to cast
off the crowd that filled the large pier

that he appreciates this demonstra-
ton and that he thanks you all for the
interest in the mission.
Mr.. Ford nodded i'll approval as the
volunteer finished speaking.
When the steamer had backed from
her pier and headed down the Hudson
river number of tugs, each loaded
with friends of the Ford party, accom-
panied her until the Oscar ii was well
past the Battery. River craft gave the
peace ship parting salute with
whistles and sirens as the steamer
swept down the bay.

THE FIFTY WORST
WEEDS

The government bureau of agricul
ture has just published a descriptive
list of Fifty Worst Weeds in the Uni
ted States. To many a grown VI
boy who used to work on the farm
this LIST will bring back toilsome
hours that he used to spend on his
hands and knees in his fathers gar
den.
The ease with which weeds root
themselves and flourish is one Of the
mysteries Of the government of the
world. You may not be able to make
grass grow in your lawn, even II you
fertilize and water It. But head
OF purslane, C'pussy'), even II rooted
up and left dry in the sun, will at
ta.h itself to the soil and flourish
again.
The removal OF weeds is the task
that makes gardening unpopular with
the majority of people. 1t is one
thing to plant seeds and start your
crorp on some pleasant spring day
quite another to fight the weeds week
after week in the hot sun. Machines
may remove them on large tracts.
But In the smaller gardening one must
root for himself with his hoe. AMI
often stretch himself on all fours. II
is work that is largely done by aliens
and other low paid classes Of labor.
To the good farmer, the absence or
presence of weeds is the sign OF ef.
ficiency or inefiiciency. The red ia mt
of sorrel in the field is the sign OF
the debt and the mortgage. The
thrifty farmer will let his buildings
go implanted sooner than let some
nox,ous weed get a deadly foothold
among his crops.
But even the weeds have their
friends. Probably no plant has been
more Of favorite with the poets
than the daisy, which is sung to
heaven as the embodiment Of simple
grace and modest beauty. The sum.
mer boarders in the daisy belt go
wild over the filmy beauty OF field
shimmering with these slender stars.
But to the farmer 1t is the accursed
"whiteweed." which robs the virtue
from the soil and steals the food from
his cattle and family. The govern.
ment rates 1t among the Fifty Worst
Weeds.

THE COLLEGES AND
WEALTH

A professor In widely known col
lege was saying a few days ago, In
speaking of the years work now
about to close, that the one thing
that troubled him was the growing
prominence OF rich mems sons In his
institution. The college which he
represents has never had the reputa-
ton OF being rich mans college.
II started with struggle and hardship
and effort.
The desire manifested by rich men
to have their sons acquire liberal cul-
ture is highly sreditable. These
young men will be enormously I'M
proved. Instead Of going out into
life, lordly, and arrogant young Croe'
suses. most of them will have a lot
of nonsense taken out OF them. They
will have learned that wealth without
virtue or public spirit has ruined
many a state In the past.
What bothered the professor was
not the presence of wealthy young
men, but the fact that they seemed
10 find II impossible to maintain the
old simple standards of living. They
must have lavish fraternity houses,
with oriental rugs, mahogany furni'
ture. high priced cooks, and all the
machinery Of elaborate living.
There are lot of colleges today
where a young man has got to be
economical to get through on less
than $500 to $1,000 a year. The cost
is not in tuition or board. but In fra
ternity bills and social and athletic
expenses and enterprises on scale
of elaborate expenditure. The poor
mans son Is made to feel an outcast
II he does not chip In.
College spirit is democratic and
the poor boy Is rarely dropped inten.
tionally. He is simply ignored. He
can't play the game. II he is a
winner in athletics, or II he makes
n high mark in scholarship, he will
be taken care of II he Is just an
ordinary boy, he is lost in the shuffle.
This is not the spirit in which the
colleges were founded, and through
which they have exercised their pro-
found influence on American life.

international relations now stirring

he gave some intimation of the
stress Of his efforts in the cabinet to

on the difference Of opinion.
MIR. Bryan told several persons
that he had felt from the day the
American citizen Thresher was kill
ed on the British ship Falaba that
Americans had no business travers
ing the war zone on belligerent ships
II was his view that Thresher did not
have the same rights before the law
as he would have had under ordin-
airy circumstances, because he ven.
tured on a belligerent ship into the
danger zone.

cabinet to submit existing differens.

Timed to Coincide
The issuance Of the explanation had
been timed to coincide exactly with
the dispatch Of the American note to
Germany.
Mr.. Bryan left the state depart.
ment shortly after / o'clock. The
note was put on the telegraph wires
at 2 o'clock. when Mr.. Bryan's resig-
nation went into effect.
On leaving the state department,
Mr.. Bryan drove directly home to as.
sumo his new role as a private siti.
zen by reading kilograms of congrat.
ulation which poured in from friends
throughout the country. Mr.. Bryan
had luncheon alone with Mrs. Bryan
awaiting word from the department
that the note to Germany had been
cabled. a few moments after 2
o'clock he appeared on the veranda
and distributed among waiting cor
respondents copies of his statement
explaining that he had reserved the
right to discuss other points in the

He intimated that he might have
something further to say after the
