TWO GREAT ONES

+ Within the past fortnight, two
Americans called great have passed
from amongst US, and it is rare thai,
within so short time, death harvests
a pair SO wholly unalike. :
One of these who made that fight.
completed this earthly career and
passed into the next was woman.
Years ago, she was left several mil
lions OF dollars. To pile other mil.
lions on these millions became her
life-work. She did not need more mil
lions, and today you cannot tell why
this woman worried nearly three score
years for more and more money. un.
less it be that she loved the mere
possession of money. She spent little
on herself and less on others, and
at the end, was called great, "the
Wealthiest woman because she had
made her half-dozen millions grow to
hundred millions. None of the good
that one can do with a great fortune
was even attempted by her, and soon
all that she piled up will he dissipat-
ed, in one way or another. She will
not be missed in the circles in which
she moved as one of the great ones,
she left no work to be continued after
her, and she is forgotten as the clods
rattle upon her coffin. Because man
kind despises selfishness, they will
not chisel upon her monument the
thing for which she was great,
1t Is as If stone had fallen into
some obscure pool. A splash, a few
rlpples, and all the world goes on as
before! Yet it is the all of long
life of persistent toll and worry.
The other great American who has
passed away was man, big, bluff,
with those rough experiences, in his
day, which make big men charitable
toward most of the errors of human
ity-James Wlhitcomb Riley. He piled
up services on services, love on love.
for he loved all and strove to comfort
and help. He bound families tighter
together in affection. You NAV see
sick children in hospitals brighten
| with hope over Riley verse. You
may see tough sinners return to early
Innocence, bettered by dreams of
childhood that Riley gave. You may
see mothers with their flock of little
ones at their knee, by the fireside.
drinking of love, hope and charity
from Riley's book. Men, women,
children he helped, and all loved him.
Is greater service possible? Is there
anything else that lasts?
They do not bury Riley-only that
part of him that was material-He
lives, to still comfort, help, serve, to
lift mankind little nearer to the
common brotherhood. He lives. IT
is as If man had planted a splendid
fruit tree, and cultivated and irrieat-
ed about its roots and pruned away
the sprouts and dead twigs, and al.
ways it shall blossom and bear del.
icious fruits and those who are weary
or in pain. or who taste few of the
beautiful innings of life, sit in its
shade. And the planter rests from
a great work greatly performed.
The hoard of gold crushes the great
woman into oblivion. The life OF ser
vice makes the great man great for
al time. 4

GERARD CLEARED BY
TEXT OF INTERVIEW
Washington Learns Several
Points We're Garbled in
Cabled Dispatches.

WARRINGTON. June ls-The puhlIca-
ton in THE Sun to-day OF a translation
Of Ambassador Gerard's interview In the
Muemchcnsr Zeitnng has put Air. GerarG's
comment or world peace In an entire y
different light so far as officials of the
State Department are concerned.
The text Of the interview has cr, atcd
an entirely different impression from the
translation Of extracts which wer, cabled
here from Berlin. II IL probable that
Secretary of State Lansing Will indorsc
the statements which Mr.. Gerard IL now
shown to have made as they do not con-
tain IN. Objectionable features which APP
peared in the cabled extracts.
The objection which the state Depart
ment had to the interview as IL was first
reported was that Amba ssador Gerard
was made to app ar as stating that Pres
ident WILSON was determined To mediate
in the Interests Of world peace regardless
OF whether this mediation was solicited
by IN. belligerents, No such impression
is gathered from the text of the inter
view.
Another objection was due to the fact
that the cabled translation indicated that
Mr., Gerard full, Endorsed Chancellor o
Rethmann-Hol!wegIs statement to tho
R~cichstag thai Germany had virtually
won the war and that peace now was
the only logical outcome.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that
the matter had not been taken w with
the Amba ssador, as tine State Depart
mont naturally would make no move IN
this direction until Mr.. Gerard's inter-
view had been examined as 1t appeared
in print.
