bird cages OF square bay-windows
stick out, upheld by proping wooden
beams. The monastery was founded
by Constants, son OF Constantine the
Great, early in the fifth century, no
one quite knows when. 1t still has
a charter granted it by the Byzantine
Emperor Manuel Palaelogus, to which
the Emperor's signature is scrawled
in red letters possibly red ink, posi-
bly, the. blood Of some animal.
Not far away towards the south is
one of the most interesting Of these
asscetic communities, the Russian con-
vent OF Panteleimon. 1t was founded
by st. Lazarus Knees Of Serbia, but
rebuilt comparatively recently-by.
the Empress Catherine |. of Russia.
For a long time it was kept only for
Russians, but many of those set up
little individual hermitages for them
selves :or:small colonies dedicated to
special saints, and the Russian con-
vent now has two churches, in one Of
which the service is celebrated In
Greek instead OF the ancient Slayonic
which seems, to be the common. tongue
among the Serbians, the Bulgarians
and the Russians on Mt. Athos.
The second convent beyond the
Panteleimon, perched high on a lofty
rock, is the monastery of Simon Pc.
ter, founded by st. Simon, the hermit,
in theA thirteenth century-almost q
modern building compared to some Of
the others. The slope between It's
lexalted position and the sea at the
foot Of the cliffs terraced in step al.

the most pa%instaking care-as indeed
Is every propitious square foot OF the
entire peninsula.
On the opposite side Of the PENN.
sula is the largest OF the twenty con.
vents, that called Laura, a word mean
ing cloister. Founded, according to
1egand, by the Byzantine Emperor
Nicephorus, st grew in the centuries
that followed to be the largest and the
richest convent Of the entire commun.
ity. The library Is still filled with
manuscripts of extraordinary antiQ.
utty and value and its treasure chest
contains some Of the most ancient
and valuable pieces of gold work in
existence-one In particular, a trip.
itch OF solid. worked gold a FOOT and
a half high, studded with diamonds,
rubtes, pearls and emeralds, is pecu.
larly. remarkable for its barbaric
beauty. The Turks in their occupa.
ton of Mt. Athos respected this So.
cred treasure OF gold and precious
stones-but they used the pages OF
priceless manuscripts as wadding for
their guns.
There are some six thousand monks
and lay bretheren on Mt. Athos. But
there are no women. nor any female
animal of any kind, not even a chick
en-. Women have several times
sought to penetrate within the for.

Fear does not mean cowardice o.

not emotion in the strict sense Of this
term. Strong emotions paralyze fear,
frequently the muscles, and in extreme
cases the heart. In this latter condi
tion We say the person died from

GETS YEAR AT OCC0QUAN
FOR KILLING EARL BAYLES
Calvin Chase, Colored Watchman,
sentenced-Court Holds Shooting
Unintentional.

Calvin Chase. colored. watchman of
vacant houses at 9TH and Shepherd
streets northwest, was convicted OF
manslaughter yesterday before Chief JUS
tice Covington in Criminal Division >.
He was sentenced to serve twelve
months at Occoquan.
The testimony showed that Chase
had been drinking May last, when
Earl Bayles. fourteen years old. and
two companions entered one OF the
houses and talked with Chase. The
matter of gun was discussed and
Chase took a pistol from his pocket
and showed it to the BOYS
Later, it was testified. Chase was
Dragging of how quickly he could shoot
and attempted an exhibition. A bullet
struck Young Bayles in the breast,
causing his death shortly afterward
a. the HOSPITAL.
The chief justice in imposing SEN
tence declared he was satisfied that
Chase had no intention of killing the
boy. but must be punished for careless
use of weapon. The chief justice an
nounced his intention to ask Congress
to pass Il law making it a crime to
have a pistol in ones possession.

The government can order from the
contractor as much paper as it requires
irrespective of the quantity specified in
the contract and need pay only the con-
opinion of the Attorney General sub
mitted to the joint committee on print
ing on its request for an Interpretation
of the existing contracts for paper.
The public printer recently ordered
paper in excess of the quantity speci-
fed in the contract. The contractor
protested. declaring he had filled his
contract, and already at loss owing
to the increase in the cost of manufac-
ture. The language of the contract.
however. does not fix definitely the
quantity to be purchased by the gov
ernment during the life of the con-
tract. but gives an approximate guam
tity based on expectations
The controller of the Treasury as
the highest accounting officer of the
government. has held that contractors
must furnish materials at the prices
quired by the government. regardless
of the extraordinary war conditions
that may have advanced the cost of
production or made il difficult to OBJ
tain the materials. However, admins

danger that would come to the country
if Mr.. Hughes were elected.
"'Of course. as a justice of the Su-
preme Court Mr.. Brandeis will not dis
cusS the matter publicly, but his friends
know his strong opinion that an eX-
tremely respectable man like Hughes,
honest fearless ana efficient. can do
more to give life to the old republican
system of privilege than any other can
didate they could have chosen. That. by
the way, was one of Col Roosevelt S
favorite arguments against Hughes not
so many years ago.
Thinks Hughes Unprogressive.
Mr.. Justice Brandeis looks upon
Mr. Hughes as a most sincere and ex-
cellent man, but in no sense progress
sive. and this opinion is based on a
study of Mr.. Hughes actions during
recomme endatio and the record as
Governor of New York.
Justice Brandeis thinks, on the
other hand. that the President has
raised and clarified the whole tone of
public life. He looks upon Mr.. Wilson
as leading the forward movement. and
upon Mr.. Hughes as capable. by hls
virtues as well as by his limitations. OF
holding it back much more than could
be done by any frank reactionary, like
Murray Crane or Elihu Root.
