Tod Sloan, the well-mown Ameri-
can jockey, who has ridden some OF
the best horses in the world on both
sides of the Atlantic, has just been
fred from London as an undesirable.
It is claimed that Sloan and many
other American gamblers are being
driven from England, where they
have garnered rich purses from the
English army officers at home on fur
loughs. It is in order, according to
the kilograms sent out from London
to presume that in cases where the
English officers won their victims viii

THE LEGEND OF CHRISTMAS
WREATHS.

In sword and sash and scarlet coat,
Upon Christmas day,
Through frosty woods and hoary
fields,
A soldier rode away,
She watched him through the falling
snow,
A young and lovely maid,
In milky pearls and flowing robes
Of velvet green arrayed.
With rumors of the distant wars
The months went slowly by,
TIL once again the Christmas bells
Were pealing to the sky;
And, walking in the lonely woods,
A bush the maiden found,
With thorns rs sharp as little swords,
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And wove a wreath to wear
OF scarlet berries, bright and gay,
And set it on her hair,
And, 10! the pearls upon her breast
Were changed to berries, too.
And, rooted to the oak, branch
Of mistletoe, she grew.
When sweet and clear the Christina.
bells,
Ring out Ger vale and hill,
The maiden-mistletoe is seen,
In pearls and velvet still;
And with her in the revels ruled,
BY music, mirth and folly,
In sword and scarlet still arrayed,
Behold the soldier holly

The Liberty Bell is again back at
home in Philadelphia after very ex-
citing experience ranging over sew
eral months. The dear old thing
made the trip to San Francisco and
back over a very circuitous route,
having travelled about seven thou
sand miles on the journey. It is esti-
mated that twenty millions of people
viewed it between the time it left
Philadelphia and its return there. One
million people are said to have kissed
It at San Francisco. 1t now appears
right and proper to battle the relic
with some good germicide and let re-
main in the Sleepy City.

Should Exercise Care
In Selecting Trustees.

The question of who IL TO handle
the funds Of the million dollar high
way Improvement money is now be-
fore the people and viii be put up to
the board Of county commissioners at
an early date, for IN many sections
the people, who must bear this tax,
are beginning to want some informa-
lion as to the personnel Of the board
Of bond trustees.
Under the laws Of Florida the COM
mission Of bond trustees il two per
cent, and on the million dollar issue
would amount to $4,000. Inasmuch
as the duties Of this board are Of
such character as to eliminate any
active participation IN the making Of
contracts or supervision of the work,
Il would seem that this is a vast
amount Of money to be paid from the
issue for so little service.
We believe that a better plan would
be to select three public spirited and
capable taxpayers who have the In
terests Of the county sufficiently al
heart to serve for nothing. OF course
such a plan would have to be b,
agreement, for the board would
under the law, be entitled to the com
mission, but It could be SO arranged
that the money could be turned bacl
into the treasury and spent on roa'
Improvement.
OF course, if the board desir d,
could employ from the funds derive
from the commissions, a competen
engineer who would supervise tn
construction work. and also hire suff
Gent clerical help, thus relieving tn
board members of much Of the wor
of this character. The remainder q
the money could then be turned int
the treasury.
The matter of selecting the trui
tees is one that should be given carr
full consideration. After competer
body has been secured then the con
missioners should call on either IL
state highway commission or the fet
eral highway commission, either I
which will supply capable eigines
with his actual expenses as the onl
cost, and this engineer could give Il
board preliminary estimates on Il
various characters of road matters
and other information bearing on ros
building.
It will be necessary, if the Dor
issue is to be carried, that the ta'
payers have all Of this information.

program, with estimates, of what you
and the best informed soldiers in
your counsels think the country
ought to undertake to do"
In these extracts from these let
tiers we have the hope of the proper
action by Congress. What his two
cabinet advisers will report to the
President, and what in turn he will
recommend to Congress, will be
based on the recommendation of
educated soldiers and sailors in Office
and charged with the duty of study
ing the matter in question. 1t is their
place to know, and they do know,
the actual modern conditions" of
warfare, and what is necessary to
make both the army and the navy
what they should be Gin order to
stand upon an equality with the most
efficient and the most practically
serviceable."
This information has been avail
able for some years. Army and navy
officials have not neglected their
duty. They have regularly called at
tention to the deficiencies and urged
action, but the Congresses have as
regularly ignored, or after discussion
rejected, their advice We owe our
present plight to the fact that in
matters naval and military we have
been following politicians rather
than men trained to the business. If
an end is to be put to this policy
and such seems to be the gist of the
Presidents dAliyerances-we are on
the road t. sod things.
Some month. ago The Star, in dis
cussing this gS~stion and deploring
the treatment accorded professional
advice, illustrated the point by sug-
costing that when sick we send for
a physician, and when going into
court it is under the guidance of
lawyer. The layman who treats him
self is apt to wind up at the under
takers, and the adage is widely ac-
cepted that the man who pleads his
own case in court has a fool for a
client.
1t is no fault of ours that as a
nation we have not landed at the
undertaker's. Our course has been
laid in that direction, and only luck
has saved us. But we should not
trust to luck any longer.

Won Tirpitz's Illness,

Nobody takes seriously the report
ed illness" of Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz, German minister of marine,
on account of which, the dispatches
state, he is to take a leave of alb
sence for recuperation. Doubtless the
grand admiral is really i'll, but not of
body. He has just had severe Jolt.
He has been beaten in the submarine
warfare matter by the imperial
chancellor, whose arguments pre-
vailed with the kaiser sufficiently to
cause assurances to be sent to this
government respecting the sinking
of "liners"-even the limitation has
not salved the feelings of the grand
admiral-without warning.
1t may be said of high personages
in the foreign court organizations
that few die and none resign" But
they do get dreadfully i'll sometimes.
Once in while this illness is so
grave that the benevolent overload
grants a lifelong leave from duty,
with perhaps some special decoration
or honor to ease the pain Whether
Won Tirpitz's indisposition is of
permanent character may not be
known at this distance. Possibly a
good rest in the Black Forest or at
one of the spas will cure his malady
after such time as the submarine
question has ceased to be so annoy
ing as to produce a nervous irrita-
ton whenever the American ambas-
sador appears at the foreign office
with fresh note of protest.

LINERS" and Other Ships.

A dispatch from Berlin states that
Ambassador Won Bernstorf has been
given full powers to negotiate for
settlement of the submarine warfare
issue between Germany and the
United States and proceeds:
They (the instructions to the Ger
man ambassador provide for i'm
munity from attack without warm
ing for passenger steamers, which
are to be destroyed only after being
halted and full opportunity has been
given to the passengers and crews to
embark in the boats under comb
tions of safety. Submarine command
ers will be advised of the expected
arrival of liners on regular sched-
ules."
If this is to be the line of the Ger
man agreement with the United
States regarding submarine warfare
it will be far from satisfactory. 1t
will not meet the requirements of
this government as clearly expressed
in the three notes on the Lusitania
case In all of those notes the prin-
ciple has been enunciated distinctly
that merchantmen" not merely pas
srnger liners, are to be given due
warning and their company a full
chance to escape if the ships are
destroyed. Perhaps the most concise
statement of this definition of the
limitations which the law of human
ity put upon submarine warfare is
the following, comprised in the last
Iusitania note:
the principle that the high seas
are free; that the character and
cargo OF merchantmen must first be
ascertained before she can lawfully
be seized or destroyed, and that the
lives of non-combatants may in no
case be put in jeopardy unless the
vessel resists or seeks to escape
after being summoned to submit to
examination"
There is no discrimination between
assenger-carrying and cargo-carry-
ing vessels. The lives of non-com-
batants are sacred, whether they are
passengers or seamen, officers or
stokers. No wanton destruction of
those lives is to be tolerated. Indeed,
1t may be urged in this connection
that the lives of seamen on nom
combatant merchantmen are to be
more jealousy safeguarded than even
those OF passengers, for the former
tn ~ 81
their legitimate occupation, while
passengers may be travelling only for
pleasure, or on business that might
be postponed or conducted by cor
respondence
II Germany is now prepared to
yield to the American contention only
to the extent that passenger-carrying
liners only are to be given the right
of warning, and that they may then
be sunk regardless of what their
cargo may be, and that all other
merchantmen may be sunk without
warning, whatever their cargo or
their destination, little progress has
been made toward an agreement that
satisfies the United States. If Am
bassador Won Bernstorff's instruc-
tons are broad only to the extent
that he is empowered to negotiate
an adjustment on this basis they are
too narrow to be of practical service
IN reducing the issue to a settle
ment basis, unless the President is
disposed to yield from the high posi-
ton he has heretofore, taken with
respect to the sanctity of human life
at sea, and there is not the slightest
reason to believe that he will do so.

Natures LONELINESS.

You seek to go where natures mood
Is all unstudied and serene;
Where tranquil is the leafy wood
Or where the waters flow serene.
Far, far away you'll seek relief
From human passions angry roar
And pluck the blossom or the leaf
Or gather shells along the shore.
But others have preceded you.
The objects that arrest your gaze
Are not what nature loves to strew
Along the still untrodden ways.
The scene no admiration wins
As it unblushingly reveals
A wilderness of sardine tins
And melon rinds and oravge easla
