U. S. PAID FORGED DRAFT.
Some One Drew Salary and Allow
ances of Consul Crane.

Tie fact that a forged draft for
s4S513, purportlng to cover salary and
allowances due to Robert T. Crane, when
consul at Rosario, Argentina, was paid
by the government October IL, 1912, and
charged against his account and the ap-
propriate appropriation, comes to light
in a decision of George Z. Downey, con-
troller of the Treasury.
He decides that. assuming that former
Consul Crane is entitled to credit for the
amount, the auditor for the State and
other departments must look to Congress
for appropriation to make good the
amount to the appropriation against
which the forged draft was charged, or
to authorize the accounting officers to al
low the amount as a debit against the
appropriation.

Comment ON PROGRAM
FOR NAVY UPBU|LO|NG
Secretary Daniels Policy Approved
by Former Heads of the
Department.

Secretary Daniels has received a let
ter from Hilary y. Herbert, Secretary
of the Navy in President C1eve1and's
second term, approving the naval pro-
gram recommended by Secretary DAN
iels to Congress. Mr.. Herbert in his
letter says:
The old maxim. ''Festina lente,"
never was more applicable than it is to
our naval program now. But the hor-
ror of the war in Europe has swept
many well meaning people off of their
feet, and there are even those who
see political advantage in an attack
on the Navy Department. because you
have not asked tor larger appropria-
tions: but-in my opinion you can af-
ford to stand pat where you are. First,
because sound public sentiment in this
country demands that politics be kept
out of naval as well as of foreign af-
fairs: and, secondly, because now is
precisely the tine when VIC should
keep cool and study carefully the les
sons that are being taught by the war
in Europe.
John D. Long Favors Progression.
John u. Long. who vas Secretary of
the Navy during the administration of
President Mckinley, approves the pro-
gram of steadily progressive increase
of the navy. From recent letter

COTTON DROPS IN GERMANY.
Ambassador Gerard Gives Reasons
for Decline in Prices.

The break in German cotton prices
from 1913 cents to 161A cents pound
is due, American Ambassador Gerard
states in u dispatch, to arrival of cot
ton steamers at Bremen. opening of
the port of Rotterdam. slackening of
demand from spinners ton account of
freer offerings and anticipated decline
in prices and sale Of captured cotton
stocks from Lodz and Antwerp.
Cotton mills in Germany are running
three-quarters capacity, and using $780,
900 bales a month, Commercial Attache
Thompson at Rotterdam reported. This
amount is apparently provided by ships
arriving and afloat," he stated. Cotton
prices are declining. Shippers are eau
toned against expecting continuation
of present high prices. They should
go slow about chartering ships at the
present inflated charges"

The Great divide.

We cant all be classic. but we can
all be a sweet little poem OF splendid
humanity.
It's the fellow that can smile an
say the right thing at the right time;
the fellow that can put prop under
some pal that's down; the fellow that
can make the other fellow glad he
met him that counts in this world,
en- it don't matter whether he's ON
broadway an 42nd or Main street in
Canon City, Colorado. If he gets re-
suits he's workin' for the good of hu-
manity an that's what counts.
There's lot of folks who sit around
an worry cause they want to do so
much good, but they can't figure ont
how to begin.
Well, begin by smilin'. Begin by
chokin' down the words that's goin' to
cause the other fellow any pain. Be-
gin by forgettin' about your own trou-
bles an putin on the brakes every
time you fee, like pourin out your
achin' heart on some other fellows
shoulder. Begin by obeyin' the good
impulses an doin what you can to
make the other fellows lot little
brighter.
There's an old sayin. sit amt
what you do. it's how you do it, An
there's more truth in that than poetry.
A hand-clasp and smile at just the
right time is worth more than a hun
cred dollar bill slipped over crouch
lily.
A little flower presented with a
kind word is more appreciated than
a bouquet without any heart in 1t.
An action without loe as it's motive
is nothing more than a duty perform
ed mechanicaliy. 1t makes the receiv-
er feel like an Intruder while the
simplest little act done willingly an
