Britain's Big Four
CFrom the New York SUM

nence to aristocratic connections or
10 social influence. The minister OF
Munitions is the son of a school
master; Lord Kitchener's father was
a regimental officer of limited means;
Sir Douglas Haig is the youngest
son of John Haig, gentleman ana
Justice of the Peace of Cameron
bridge; and Sir William Robertson
sprang from the common people
none more obscure than he.
Every one of these four men has
risen by sheer ability and a robust
personality to high position. Three
of them, the Minister of Munitions,
the Secretary for War and the Chief
OF the General staff. have never been
noted for the graces of life and have
made many enemies. The fourth, Sir
Douglas Haig, has enjoyed a good
deal of popularity among his associ-
ates, but the fact that at the front
he is nicknamed Won Haig is not
without significance.
These leaders may be called the
Big Four. and possibly the most use
full of them will turn out to be Sir
William Robertson, pantry boy, foot
man. common soldier, subaltern, in
telligence officer and Lieutenant-Gen-
eral, of whom II is said: HE has
apparently an iron constitution, and
certainly a remarkably strong Will.
He has no nerves and' nothing dis
turbs him." The aristocracy will ex-
pect no favors from this rugged dra-
COON with guardroom manners. His
rise in the army has been magical,
and yet he is one OF the most unro-
mantle Of persons. There has never
been anything like it in England.

successfully against foreign combina-
tions. Much must be done by the
business men themselves, but the gov
ernment certainly can do two things
that will improve conditions. One is
to amend the Sherman act so that
pooling agreements will be possible in
the foreign trade and the other is to
follow the recommendations of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
with reference to the extension and
Improvement Of the foreign COM
mercial service.
Trade experts are already employed
In the foreign commercial service and
have collected much useful informa-
tion, but this information is of little
use when, under a law passed by
Congress, the experts must keep the
information to themselves or else pay
their own expenses If they go to any
part of the United States TO impart
their knowledge to the business men
in whose interest they were appoint
ed. Congress provided an appropri-
alton for the employment OF experts,
but later on stipulated that no en-
ploye of the government should at
tend q convention at government ex-
pense. Under a restriction of this
kind the government would seem to
be collecting trade information sole
ly for its own amusement.

WHARTON NAGAINCOACH
OF Penn bINENEN

Now that Bob Folwell has been Sc
lected to guide the gridiron destinies
of the University of Pennsylvania for
the season OF 1916, preparations are
under way TO select his assistants Be
fore leaving for his home at Mullica
Hill, n. j.. yesterday Bob stated that
he favored Dr.. Buck Wharton for line
coach and Harold CASTOR as coach for
the scrub men. Wharton is Dover,
Del. boy.
When Folwell was selected as coach
OF the Quaker football players il was
understood that he was to have free
hand in selecting his assistants on the
field, and as he has shown an inclina-
tion TO have Wharton and Castor for
his helpers, these two men will, in all
probability. sign their names to a con-
tract for services next fall.
DR. Buck Wharton was the line
coach in the past season. and little
needs he said as to what results he
accomplished His men were consid-
cred by many football experts 10 be a

from the game put up by The Red and
Blue forwards last fall. there is little

the last season that Wharton would
not return to Pennsylvania next fall
to take charge Of the line men, stat

THE WEEK AFTER.

Twas the week after Christmas.
And most of the town
Was Uttered with fir trees,
Some green and some brown;
And each of the latter
Bore evidence that
II had stood seven days in
A steam heated fat.
Twas the week after Christmas,
And every ash can
Was heaped up with rubbish
As high as a man;
With boxes Of cardboard and
Crates of thin stats
That may have held parrots
Or puppies or cats.
Twas the week after Christmas,
And all the big stores
We're crowded with women from
Front to back doors;
Some bent on exchanging
The gifts that appear
To be those they bestowed in
SHINE previous year.
Twas the week after Christmas.
And all Of these things
We're signs Of the joy that
The holiday brings.
The youngsters were happy,
Their elders took pride
In their swapping OF gifts
AT the merry Huletide.

ChiIdren's Wear.

Children's coats are made of nov
city fabrics of brilliant colors.
Serge. gabardine, fancy worsteds. golf
inc. chinchilla and boucle effects are
among the favorte materials. A con-
servative ripple is used in children's
coats. while for girls the ripple is quite
pronounced. Some of the children's
coats are cut in one piece, while others
are in two pieces, with belt conceal
ing the joining. Belts are extensively
used and are of various widths and
materials. The material of the coat is
often used in the belt las well as
leather. Cape designs in collars are
popular.
Among children's dresses, the mildly
sailor and belted dresses are favor
ties. Pleated skirts usually accom-
pany MILDLY blouses, either in side or
box pleats. The new MILDLY skirt is
decidedly fared, and often sash of
self-material in contrasting color is
used. While belts are used, sashes are
considered newer. Lacings, collars and
cuffs OF color are used. In dresses of
other styles the combining of plain and
fancy materials in the form of plaids
or stripes is noticed. Some of the
waists are in bolero effect. while others
are in suspender effect and are worn
with a white guimpe. Kimono, drop
shoulder or the set-in sleeve is used.

that his eyes were quite all right. That
meat had vanished. For just second
he thought that during the fight
Granny Fox or Reddy might have
slipped aside and gobbled it up. But
thought this. He knew that both were
fighting every minute of the time. Be
sides. he had only to look at them now,
as they stood staring at the place
where the meat had been. to know that
they knew no more than he did what
had become of it.
Now. there is sense of humor in
Old Man Coyote. Humor, you know
means fun. Some people never can see
fun in anything. They never can see
a joke. But people with sense of
humor can. Old Man Coyote is one of
that kind. His coat was torn and he
ached and smarted from the bites and
scratches which old Granny Fox and
Reddy Fox had given him, and he knew
that they ached and smarted even more
because his teeth were longer and he
was stronger. And for all those aches
and smarts and for all their torn coats
they had gained just nothing at all.
That good dinner for which they had
fought so bitterly was gone; where, he
hadn't the least idea, but it was gone.
He looked over to Granny and Reddy
Fox and grinned.
did you really have a piece of meat.
or did I dream it?' he asked.
Granny Fox couldn't see any joke.
II had 1t all right" she snapped, land
If 1 had to lose it I'm glad you didn't
get it! I hope it will choke whoever
Old Man Coyote laughed right out.
That sounds like you, Granny" said
he. IF you can't have a thing your
self you don't want anybody else to
have 1t. That is what call being selfish.
Now. Tn hungry enough to eat that
meat and one of you, too" Granny and
Reddy backed away hastily. But I
don't wish any hard luck to the one
who did get that dinner. I haven't
the least idea who it can be. but, of
course. that dinner couldn't walk off of
itself. Now, wouldn't it have been a
whole lot better if you had offered to
share it with me when you found thai
1 was going to catch you? Then we
each would have had some. In these
hard times we ought to stand by each
other. We have just proved that it
doesn't pay to fight. Here we are all
three sore and stiff, and some one else

Are they intended as coats or Is

seeker after fashionable information
They are intended entirely as substi-
tutes for blouses." answered the dress
maker, land naturally they are worn
without a coat in the house and under
heavy topcoats in the street. in motor
ing and for skating in the open. There
seems to be no limit to their fashion
able possibilities and they are consid-
cred much smarter than shirt waists of
any kind. Poiret himself couldn't ask
more color than is being incorporated
in them. The materials are satin, crepe
de chine and even chiffon taffeta- The
favorite colors are scarlet, apple green,
Burgundy red, mandarin yellow and
that pale tone of yellow called orange
ade by the French.

trast between the smock and the skirt.
