LONDON. March 23-The man OF the
hour. the born leader TO whom all Eng
land Is listening. the prophet OF hope
fulness and forcefulness, whose advent
has brought light Into the land, and
whose speeches have stirred the whole
country. Is not an Englishman. though
undoubtedly a Britisher. But the blood
tie. that tie which has so recently proved
imperishable. IL right there.
The man Is Premier Hughes OF AUS
tralia. who, although a recent arrival
on these shores. has already become a
power for good In the land. In his
speeches Mr.. Hughes has stirred the
imagination OF the English people to a
decree that no British born statesman
has accomplished In many a long day.
In his speeches Mr.. Hughes has touched
upon a number Of the grave issues that
are hanging In the balance and upon
which the fate OF the British Empire
depends. The Times says the speeches
that MIR. Hughes has delivered in this
country "are perfectly candid and they
appeal to plain men they are inspired
by a conservative policy, which Is the
first test Of craftsmanship"
Points Out British Mistakes.
Great Britain being above all things
a commercial country. the speech in
which Mr.. Hughes showed how Ger

In the supply of many products which
are vital for British Industries went
straight home to the heart and under
standing OF every Briton.
Mr.. Hughes gave some examples of
British folly. How, for instance. she
had allowed Germany to obtain the
monopoly TO Tungsten powder essentia

the metals which enter into the struc-
ture OF Industrial life how she had per-

Seals Aaain Plentiful.

Under the precautions taken to pre-
vent the extinction of the fur seals in
Alaska and the Pribilof islands the
species has multiplied so rapidly that
the bureau of fisheries now recon-
mends that the killing of male seals
be resumed.
Ever since the signing of the Pc
lagic treaty between Russia, England,
Japan and our own nation, prohibit
ing the destruction of cow seals upon
the high seas, the government has
taken an occasional census of the
seals. The last of these fixed the
number of seals owned by the United
States at 301,S44, as against less than
twenty thousand in 1906.
Besides fur, other possible use of the
seal is being considered by the bureau
of fisheries. The scarcity of the
worlds meat supply and the tremen-
dous increase in seals as revealed by
the last census suggest the shipping
Of seal meat to the United States for
food. Those who have tasted 1t say
that meat from young seal Is deli
cious In flavor and that seal steak
would be a popular addition to fash
ionable hotel menu.

stopped a moment at the forked stick,
and Poppy Ordway dropped Sandry's
letter, re-sealed, into the sack before
his very eyes. 1t was a daring thing
to do and it set her blood leaping for
joy in her own GOODNESS. When they
reached the camp she went directly
to her room.
1t was long time before she came
out again. and Sandry had gone. When
she did she stood in the doorway and
looked at Siletz, white and filled with
towering anger, and Siletz. looked
back as white. They were women,
pure and simple. and they matched in
that moment their wit and their
strength. Miss Ordway knew by that
look that Siletz had those papers

girl should show them to Sandry.

most on the point of flinging herself
upon the slim. dark creature. risen
along the doorpoot, and fighting for
possession of her property. But there
was something sickening in the steady
CLINT of those dark eyes. in the half
wild crouch of the slender body, and
she only stood and held to the Intel,
consumed with a wrath that could
have killed
But the wrath of Siletz was worse

who had become her pattern in his
sanity and Judgment.
With an effort the woman moistened
her lips.
"Did-did you find-a bunch of-let-
ters?" she asked between her gripping
teeth.
And Siletz, for the first time in her
life, choked down her literal fear OF
damnation and lied.
Lord, forgive me-" she whispered

her to come out and see the Siletz

voice she laid jealous hand over the
papers, hurriedly pushed them back
for safety, and rose. But Fate. that
had been waiting, gave overimpetus to
the cautious motion and showed them
a little too far back, so that they hung
in the small space between the type

and pulled them down to the clean,

started for the road to intercept the
basket-bearers, but Siletz, sitting in
the west door with her chin in her
cupped palms, shook her head.

REMARKS THAT HAD A STING
Evidently Yielded His
Table in Cats With Some Feel
ing of Reluctance.

When Charles B. Towns, who led
the fight for the recent legislation
against the traffic in habit-forming
drugs in New York state, was in China
several years ago studying opium
smoking among the Chinese, he ran
into Samuel Merwin, the American
writer.
They dropped into a Shanghai cafe
for a bite and found all the tables
taken. Two young Englishmen who
had finished their luncheon but were
dallying over their cigars were ap-
preached by tho waiter.
81 beg your pardon" said the French
waiter, "but would you mind vacating
this table? These gentlemen are two
distinguished Americans and | would
like to accommodate them. One is
Mr.. Charles B. Towns, the other is
Mr.. Samuel Merwln, the author"
They got up reluctantly and one
walked over to Mr.. Merwin. you are
quite welcome to the. table. We were
trespassing, to be sure. l should like
to make myself known. l am King
George, my friend here is Willie
Shakespeare and we were waiting for
our friend Rudyard Kipling."

WAR-CRlES USED BY THE JEW
They Are Many and in All Tongues,
But Another One Is Said to
Be Coming.

THE Jew has as many war-cries as
there are tongues in Europe, for he
fights with them all; and then he has
his own war-cry, that eternal fearful
cry of his that in these days is rending
the heavens over Russian and Galician
Polands," e. K. Upset writes in the
Century.
And still there is another and a
newer cry coming, the war-cry of the
neutral Jew. To arms! to arms! 0 Is
rael! has arisen, the sudden thunder
ing cry throughout the length and
breadth of the New York Ghetto and
all the other Ghettos IN the larger
cities of America.
I'VE know, of course, what are the
arms of the Ghetto Jew; they are
tongue and pen. BY means of these
it is intended to raise the Jew from
the depths of his ashes and make him
live nation again. A congress of
American Jews is to be called and it
is to demand, at the conclusion of the
war, or before it, the return of Pales-
tine to it's ancient owners. For the
Jews are a nation, and they must have
a land and Palestine is theirs.
THAT is to say, in brief, that while
nearly three-quarters of million Jews
on the European battlef1elds are at
one anothers throats. in vindication
each of a different nationality, the
Jews far away from the bursting shells
and glittering bayonets are calling out
to them: No, you are all in the wrong
For you are all one.
1T is not for us to determine
whether the Jews are a nation. 1t is
not for one man to tell another what
he should be. One is what one feels
If the Jews feel themselves nation
that is sufficient"

The gasping was more pronounced
and Sandry, his face like ashes raised

ing him tightly against his shoulder,
He glanced appealingly at Doctor Cen

son smiled down bravely in the bright

son. A man-and a good-son. I'm

Amen. A"
The word trailed off suddenly, leav-
ing the lips open. There was long
breath, broken abruptly. The eyes
closed naturally. slowly. The white
head slid gently down from Sandry's
shoulder.
With cry that rang through the
room, Walter Sandry sprang up, lifting
the body.
Father" he cried once terribly
Then he laid it back upon the bed

He clasped his hands hard behind

With the last sentence there came a
catch in the strong voice, space be-

quickly forward
"Mr. Sandry-" he said warningly,
but nothing could stop the last up
