EDITORIAL P A G l.

There are many different kinds Of questions. but, roughly speaking, they all may be included in the following three divisions; first, those which can be answered; second, those which may be answered: third, those which should not be answered. Illustrating the first division are those questions which oth- ers never ask of you and those which you never care to hear others answer; the second includes questions which are pointed, private, public, pcrpIeNing and political: In fact any questions which simplctons assert cannot be an swered: the third division. questions which should not be answered. includes what? We'll, that Is a question which should not be asked.
 Some people ask questions because thcv wish to know more; some ask them because they desire to show WhaI they already know, and some ask then because they want to show what others do not know.-Life.

the latter being massacred, The Amer ican was young, and the young take little thought of danger But be was too polite not to assure the mandarin tbat he would keep his gift as re- membrance of him and the episode
 An American named Preston lived In Picking, who operated a banking house which was q branch of one In New York. Worthington spent a good deal of time at his house, attracted Dy Ihe bankers daughter, Emma Preston. When the Boxer trouble broke out q month after the foregoing eplsoue Worthington was at Preston's house. If was without the regions of the em- bassies and entirely unprotected. Worthington on the first sign of dan- ger returned to the embassy for leave to absent himself for the protection of the family in which he was interest | ed Having attained It, he was about | to start back when he noticed the um- brella given him by the mandarin. The day was very hot and 1t occurred to him to take it for protection against the suns rays. As to the words spo- ken concerning It If attacked by an enemy, he had forgotten them, but he dd not forget to take with him cou- ple of reyolyers and q supply of car tridges.
 As Worthington approached the Pres ion home he noticed knots or Chlnl- men talking together eXcitedly. Some of them scowled at him, but since
 they had as much dread as hatred of 0
 "foreign devil," they did not attack
 him, He reached the Preston home
 safely, but found the family in great
 trepidation, expecting that at any time
 mob would attack and murder then
 The anticipated trouble occurred tn.
 next day. The bankers residence wns
 well known, and a crowd of Chinamen
 armed with all sorts of implements
 from a scythe to razor came down
 for murder. WOrthingtOn knew that
 though armed, he could not withstand so large q force; nevertheless he sta
 tioned himself at a window over thC front door, ready to use up his car , tridges.
 , The bowling mass came, stopped be
 fore the house and were about to maK' an onslaught upon It when suddenly al
 their eyes P,ere cast to window al , rectly beneath the one WorthingtoI ! occupied. Then every weapon wa a lowered, every knife was sheathed an o the Chlnamen moved on.
 Worthington was at loss to accoun for this sudden change, but 1t was 500 , explained to him.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

According to the Preimer's state mept the war is costing England fifteen million dollars a day.
 To give us an adequate navy ade- ouate superdreadnaughts and aae- ouats submarines would cost in the neiglborhood of one hundred million dollars. To put our coast dercnses in proper condition, so that they would be effective against modern guns, would cost another hundred million dollars.
 Otherwise expressed, two weeks or a war which might last for years would cost Us as much as deLeaSe' which would make that war Ill possibIe.-l Puck.)

An Incident of the Boxer Movement
 In China
By JOHN Y. LARNED

Some years ago Hugh Worthtngtonr n young man of fortune, desiring to enter the field of diplomacy, secured an appointment in the service of the United States government at Picking. Worthington was more interested in seeing the country than in his official duties. which were nominal, and he travelled over such parts of China as were open to foreigners. One day he fell in with q mandarin who had been a good deal in England and spoke the language. The mandarin travelled in style. being carried in a chair, common in Europe until near the beginning of the nineteenth century, by two men and attended by several other sery- ants.
 WorthingtOn, who travelled on horse back, on Joining the mandarin rode be- side the chair, chatting with him. The l American knew enough of China to understand that 1t was infested with robbers and was armed to the teeth. The mandarin was an elderly person,
 unused to arms, but his servants were prepared to defend him. They were armed with bikes, short swords and
 other weapons, which Worthington
 considered next to useless in a fight
 with an enemy properly accoutered.
 Suddenly while passing through a
 narrow cut In tho road the party was
 attacked by a dozen men bent on rob
 bery. They were not much better arm cd than the mandarin's servants, but they outnumbered the latter, who i'm medIately took to flight, leaving theil
 master in the hands of the enemy. Worthington drew q revolver iron under his coat at each hip and began fusilade that put the robbers t flight. Upon this the servants return ed and humbly begged the master
 forgiveness for having deserted hin
 He was profuse in his thanks to tn
 American. who had not only saved considerable amount of money for tn ! Cbinaman, but his life as well H " begged WorthiuEton to name some n '' vor that he could do him, but the la' u fer said that he wanted for nothing 1

A Matter of Temperature.

Hospitality Is q good deal q matter of latitude, I suspect. The shade Of a noIm tree serves an African for hut Ills dwelling Is all door and no walls. Everybody can come In. To make a morning call on an Eskimo acquaint- auce one must creep through q long tunnel. Ills house Is all walls and no door exccpt such a one as m apple with a worm hole has. One might very probably trace regular grada' tIon between these two extremes. In cities where the evenings are generally hot the people have pOrches at their doors. where they sit, and this is' oT course, a provocative to the interchange r5uuiItttst.@-!aolmes.

NOBILIZING THE NATIONS
 BRAINS

Modern warfare more than any
 o.as- human vocation has urgent
 need Of the constant assistance oL
 inventors. The country whose
 scientists can devise the direct in-
 strumsuts of destruction, other
 things being equal, has the best
 chance for victory.
 Furthermore, inventions do not
 stop A machine may be l22bS9St,s9Ss
 md again. Invention Is not limit
 cd Co any class. An epoch-deter-
 inning discovery may crop out any
 where. The instruments which make
 LCdevu warfare are the creations of
 pciya;e eXpertmenters of various ua- lioas.
 The telescope and the telegraph made the basic revolution. Civilian A'aeEicaus gave these to the armies. The wireIss was another step. A civilian Italian is given credit for that. The submarine and the aero plane have added weapons whose effectiveness is perhaps not yet fully developed. UnmiIitaryAmeri- cans did the thinking which brought forth these. The list might be ex- terd=d Jcd.0usly.
 Inventive thought works cease lessly 1t will never stop while the scientific method remains. Any ua- tiou, militaristic or peace seeking, wnich does not coyet China's fate must have a. its disposal not only the best of existing machinery but also the services Of men able to 10 f0rsee the next necessary steps. | some of these meu are in the Am ericau army and navy. Dr. Walter | Reed, an army surgeon, discovered l the mosquitoes connection with vel l Icy. fever. But the door must be cDvu also to suggestions from the outside. The nation cannot afford to rely exclusively on the oroginalt- ,y Of official fighters.
 Time and often it has been charged that American inventors have received scant courtesy at The allegations may nav been unwarranted but it is fit .ing at this time to make such all altitude impossible in the future.

an obsession. may seem inexplicable in
such an autocrat. Undeniable proof Of
this fear Is, however, to be found in
the vitriolic speeches in which he hade
socialists quit Germany for their own
and for their country's good, and In
the drastic mea asures he has at various
times introduced for the suppression Of
the movement.
War and Sentiment.
When, in spite Of official prohibition.
the Socialists insisted on making a
demonstration before the royal palace,
batteries Of artillery paraded the streets
Of Berlin, and the authorities made no
secret Of their determination to train
disperse at the bidding Of the police.
The Kaiser. however. has now made
peace with "the enemy Within as he
called the Social Democrats. He told
them from the balcony Of the palace at
war. that he freely forgave them and
hoped that in the hour of national dan
ger they would Join him in DESTROYING
1.-The enemy without" including Brit
ain.
Probably at that moment Of patriotic
fervor he forgot that he has millions
invested in the British capital II it
may be that he trusted to otr tradition
al sentimentality to safeguard his tor-
tune even II he succeeded in conquer
ing us.
Had Germany played the game in this
way we might. from sentimental mo-
tives, have been constrained to act On
this presumption. But since Germany
has chosen to break all international
laws. We are morally and legally, en-
titled to follow her example and to
fight her with her own *eapons-which
in the end will be the most effective.
Gold. she has asserted by word and
by act Is contraband Of war. no mat
ter in what form it Is held. A nation
at war requires gold. and as in Ger
many the national exigency comes be-
fore the individual need. gold cannot
be treated as private property. Conse-
uuently. British subjects who have
money in Germany have lost 1t. the
state having coniscated their bank
ing accounts.
Worthless Bonds.
Like hundreds Of merchants who
had outstanding debts in Germany.
they have been credited with SO many
war loan bonds. which nobody will buy
from them and which are likely to be
absolutely worthless. Their property
and businesses In the Fatherland have
likewise been confiscated by the state.
and everything salable disposed Of to
swell the war fund. On their return
they will find that nothing is left to
them.
Germans excuse this on the ground
that war Is war" So be 1t. Let US
prove to them that war Is war" We
have the whip in hand In this instance.

Appeals For Horses.

her valuable services.
Appeals For Horses.
Lady Smith-Dorrien. wife of Gen. Sir
Horace Lockwood Smith Dcrrien, COM
manding the Second British Army
Corps. has made ar appeal on behalf of
the horses. whose needs in the present
war have been all but overlooked ty
the people Of England.
War without horses would be impos-
sible." she writes, land the frightful
loss caused by modern weapons is Gre
atins a shortage in horses absolutely
unprecedented. 1t behooves ali, there
fore. to do their utmost not only to en-
deaVor to save as many horses as pos
sible for patriotic reasons, but because
It is our duty also to endeavor to ease
the suffertpgs of these poor faithful ami
mails.
"Our Dumb Friend League started
the Rlue Cross fund. while the French
government has officially recognized
its existence and gratefully accepted
its offer Of help for the horses.
The French minister of war has not
only authorized the installation Of
horse hospitals in France. but has
given every possible facility to the
Blue Cross for carrying out it's work.
The Blue Cross hope to open light
base hospitals for wounded horses
during this month.
