We are all more or less self eentered and intent on our own affairs the greater part of the time and the majority become oblvious to those with whom they are not in close con- tact We thereby become, in a great sense, indifferent to all whose orbit of existence does not impignge upon our own. The majority of us have neither wish nor inclination to do aught which may be harmful to others but We never the less go through life with more or less indifference to the consequences of our acts, and their effect upon our fellows. As to the effects produced by this general failing, comment is superfluous. One need but to look at the fearful toll of misery and death which blackens the course of humanity to realize to what terri
 ble lengths it may lead Statistical
 records of the lives lost through acci-
 dents involving wheeled vehicles, other
 than railway cars, are sufficient to i'm
 press one with the horrifying effects which follow carelessness of this char acter as fully -eighths of such fatalities are due to no other cause than the regretable tendency to overlook the l safety of others.
 It is not intended to create the in- ference that the accident yesterday was due to carelessness on the part of the occupants of the car, as the circum- l

GENERAL JOFFRES
ANCESTRY SOUGHT
is DISPLAYED BY
THE COMMANDER AT ALL
EFFORTS

tuy ASAOctnteN A'fehA.b
GENEVA, May 14.-Since the gen
eral-in-chief of the French armies
has passed to the rank of the great
commanders, French biographers and
historians have sought, and are still
seeking, the origin of his family.
Some pretend that the victor of the
Marine is of Basque blood, others en-
deavor at any price to make a
Frenchman of purer blood of him.
The question remains open because
Joffres have been found at every
epoch. even those the most remote,
in three of the ancient French prov
inces-in Limousin, in Dauphine and
in the Vivarias.
AS for the general himself, he does
not conceal his attachment to his lit
| tie fireside at Rivesa1tes in the Pyre-
nees-O Orientales. and thus far has dis
played a remarkable Indifference to
efforts that have been made to fix
| honorable origin upon hlm.
Geneva now sets up her claims to
the great man. There are at present
no Joffres in the vicinity. There have
not been for long time, but there
were two Joffres, one In the 10th
century, who went from Aubenas in
the province of vivarais, now the de-
partment of Ardache. When the 9th
er emigrated is not known, but there
is record that in 1904 both were re
ceived as burgeois of Geneva. 1t is
known that while Joffre came from a
Catholic region in the Limousin, he
sprang from a Protestant family

contend that the sojourn of his an

HERO COLONY IS
HOLLWEG'S IDEA
CONSIDERS LOCATING iNSTlTu.
TloN IN SOUTHERN PART
OF PRUSSIA


BERLIN, May 14.-Dr. Won Beth
mann Hollweg, imperial chancellor,
is considering the feasibility of sug-
gestion for the establishment of
hero colony" near the famous old
Pforta school in south Prussia of
which he is an alumnus, where those
MANNED and crippled in the war may
take up their life after 1t is over
The originator of the idea is Paul
Kersten, head of big factory in
Bad Koesen. He believes that there
will be thousands of noble and patri-
otie girls and widows of soldiers who
when peace is concluded will be glad
to marry the men who have been
injured and who otherwise would
gravitate into soldiers homes.
To prevent this is one of the prin-
cipal objects of the proposed plan.
Kersten feels that soldiers in such a
situation soon come to feel that they
are useless and in the way, whereas
they can continue useful and happy
existence If they have their own
homes and wives to help care for
them.
Kersten believes that the loss of
an eye or leg is not defect that
in any way affects future generations.
If injured soldiers can marry and live
in colonies instead of in homes by
themselves, he thinks that the birth
rate will have some of the increase
that is to be necessary after the war.

scientific experts with a view to re-
sumption OF commercial killing of
seals at the Pribolof islands in the
Behring sea will be recommended

Canada and Japan, which are inter

abolished pelagic sealing, made an
investigation contemporaneously with
the American experts. Both govern
ments have made representations to
the United States that the condition
of the seal herd warrants resuming
sealing operations at once,

The Craze for Buttons.

Perhaps the most Significant fea-

year is the change in the feminine

woman who wear the small, round

clothespin doll. staple article at
church fairs. The narrow skirt is
as definitely and emphatically out as
the short skirt is in. There seems
to be only one choice between de-
grees of witness. The circumfer-
ence of every skirt has increased, but
this increase is brought about in var
ious ways. Another thing notice
able is that the button factories have
been working overtime. Buttons are
everywhere. Dozens them are
used on the suits. There is about
two dozen buttons on the coat tails
, and some of the coats have a whole
sleeve full. There are other rows
reaching from the shoulder down the
backs and fronts of the coats. The
military note is strongly sounded.
