only one occasion, so far as ! know, did
Gen. Robert L. Lee ever indulge in a
pleasantly. or a witticism. The follow
ing is the story:
In the spring of 1883, Gen. Joseph
Hooker was put in command of the Fed
eral army to succeed Gen. Burnside, who
had been defeated in the battle Of Fred
ericksburg. Hooker's success in the west
had given him the sobriquet of Fighting
Joe Hooker" and when he was put in
command of the Army OF the Potomac
he wished to maintain his reputation as
fighter. On assuming command he is
sued an ostentatious and bombastic order
declaring that he had heard much talk
of lines of retreat, but that the only
lines a soldier should seek were not
those of retreat, but those that led most
directly to the enemy. The order con-
cluded by announcing that his head
quarters would be in the saddle"
Gen. Lee on reading this order re-
marked that Gen. Hooker mistook his
headquarters for his hindquarters; that
1t was his hindquarters and not his head
quarters that were in the saddle.

No American can take exception tc
these sentiments, any more than he could
take exception to the Declaration Of In
dependence. Perfect diction, accurate
measurements and correct weighing oi
essentials. We have seen a ship out in
the bay swinging with tide and the
waves; the sails are all UP, and you won
der why II does not move; but it cannot

anchored. Sentiments like the above and
like notes to the Kaiser are anchored;
they must remain only words without be-
ing put into formidable effect When
Roosevelt proffered a truce between Rus
sia and Japan he fulfilled the 'pupose OF
serving the rest of the world, just as
much as it served us One act is worth
an ocesn OF promises. What has this
administration done to fulfill any part OF
this glorious American creed?

The school Forums.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
Truth is the conformity Of thought to
the reality of things.
Albert Rosenberg says in the Open
Forum of last Sunday: "Civics has only
recently been introduced in the school
curriculum and there is no place at the
present time where the adult population
can get any knowledge of it,"
Doesn't the gentleman know that over
$50 organizations are now using the school
buildings under the law of March 4,
1915 and that there is room for more?
The advocates of the community forum
bill seem to want US to believe almost
anything but the truth. They might as
we'll quit. We know the truth, much of
the truth, about the present law and
the effort to get rid of 1t; and we shall
be right here on the job when the sun
goes down and when 1t comes up, We
shall fight to the end, and then some.
Let me suggest that it would be, as it
seems to me. a very proper thing for
them to do to rid their ranks of the man
from the bureau of education who, when
asked before the congressional commit
tee on the Johnson-Hollis bin, What is
your salary?" Answered, 'One dollar a
year" He should get ont for their sake.

Philadelphia, April Z-stsnd by the
President
This was the unequivocAl declaration
Of the duty OF the nation in the present
crisis, made this afternoon by Mr
Wanamaker. Mr.. Wanamaker's advice
is all the more significant in view Of the
fact that he has so recently been nomi-

In his statement Mr.. Wsnsmaker point 5

The statement was made in snFver to
a request for his views upon the mo-

Editor of The Washington Herald Re-
Gently the papers of Washington pub
lished an article that the Kappa Pi Fra
ternity of Georgetown University would
came this summer on Sycamore Island,
on the Potomac. l. as an officer of the
fraternity, wish to call your attention to
an error in the above statement
As a matter of fact this fraternity has
no connection with Georgetown or any
other college whatsoever. The statement
has caused considerable embarrassment
in different quarters, and take this op-
portunity of asking you to inform the
public of the error made.

A Secular Prayer.

Editor of the Washington Herald;
May we continually grow stronger, SO
that we can succor those who are
growing weaker. If there are those
who suffer persecution on account OF
race, creed, or color, let US be more
sympathetic, that they may find more
pleasure in life and appreciate that
natures sunshine is for all humanity
If our fellowman commits a wrong
let US not chide him too severely, but
rather give him to understand that
II is human to err; then he will real
ize more fully that he has our love
hence will be more apt to forsake his
vices
Let US make it a pleasure to help
our fellowman. II he is crippled, OF
his eyes see not, let US constantly
watch over him; IL he has a family
and is without means, let us see that
he has a home, where he can be sur
rounded by his loved one, instead OF
sending him to a public institution.
Let us learn to tolerate those who
cannot tolerate us, as they are only
controlled by their weakness. Those
who do not agree with US are as firm
in their convictions as we are in ours;
il they cannot see the sunshine ar.<
feel its healthful rays. we must ap-
preciate it all the more and be thank
full that we are endowed with these
powers of sight and feeling.
Let US be kind to all living crea-
lures, particularly to that noble ami
NAL, the horse, as well as to mans
best friend, the dog. All of these
blessings we ask, because it gives us
pleasure, and we feel that nature in
tended it so. B. NJ. MILLER.

How We Invited War.

Editor of The Washington Herald: We
are on the razor's edge. The abyss Of war
fascinates us. Like bird. we are para
lyZed by the glance of the serpent OF
destruction. Why? Because We played
the bird, the timid fool we thought the
tall timber was our safety. If we had
played the lions part and barred our teeth
at the first hint of aspersion--nay Of in
sult-none would haved dared provoke us.
