In the death Of this man Booker T.

loss. Born slave. with no advant
ages except his own native ability, he

CALLS THE EMPTY CRADLES
ENGLAND'S BIG DANGER
BY Father Vaughn (From Notes
Taken by Mary Boyle O'ReiIIy.)
(Rev. Bernard Vaughn is best
known in the U. S. through his IA
nous sermons on The Sins of Soci-
ety." Father Vaughn has Iectured
in this country and Canada and in
many cities in Asia and Europe. His
fame as a worker among the Lon
don poor has been doubled since the
war began by his efforts in behalf of
Belgian refugees.)
London, June g. - The cry Back
to the land is not so important as
Back to the home"
The cradles of England are empty.
We are a nation travelling to the
cemetery.
Never was the marriage rate so
high; never the birth rate so low, and
that at a time when the cry is to re-
place the men we are losing.
When l was a lad the birth rate
in England was 81 to 40 per thou
sand. Today it has fallen to 19.
It takes days to make a shell,
weeks to forge a gun, months to
build a ship. But man is not a man
for 20 years.
The waste of men is the longest
loss of war. 1t is a waste beyond |
computation because it stretches far
into the future, in which, under hap
pier conditions, these men, dead in
their prime, would have been the IA
theirs of children we need.
No sane man facing these facts |
can doubt that our whole national |
future is in jeopardy.

marriages are Ll6 OIQ6I OF IQe Gay.
A war marriage" is a marriage
where the bridegroom is in khaki
and the bride, very probably, on her
way to a munitions factory,
Too prudent people emphasize the
risk that the husband may return
crippled If that be a legitimate ar
gument against marriage then the
law should forbid the marriage of
miners or of men employed in any
dangerous trade.
In 40 cases out of so, marrying in
wolves a certain amount of risk. But
a real marriage of the right people
for the right reasons is a thing worth
taking risks for. Perhaps the gam
BILE constitutes one of the attractions.
Still, in the excitement of our pres
ent life, it is inevitable that num-
Der of peFpetuaIly desirable but Un-
fashionable virtues are being more
or less ignored by the people at
home.
Bluejackets, men in khaki, splen-
did air men are risking their lives to
save our honor from disgrace, our
country from invasion, ourselves
from vassalage and serfdom.
And we?
I see everywhere on the streets of
our mammoth metropolis bejewelled
ladies in the dainties Of footwear
which you can see as far as ever it
reaches-and the most perfect hats.
You would think that we had money
to throw away. And, if you look a
little longer you will see that a cost
" pet dog is cUddled somewhere, a
plaything that could easily be re-
placed by two men in khaki as far as
money goes.
Is this right, or fair, in the women
of wartime England?
It is not men, munitions or money
we want most now.
It is the mother we need today, and

When some Democratic friend
of yours tries to tell you of the
far-sjghted craftsmanship and
steadfastness of WoodrowWilson,
put him to the test of specific
facts. Ask him to enumerate
the public issues which the Am
erican people deem important and
on which Mr.. Wilson has not
changed his attitude since he was
elected president. Try it, and
see how short the list will be.

Democratic prosperity is blood

Do we not esteem freedom as
highly as peace?

The President has cut his hon

No doubt this "long" session

long for the Pr esident.
Now the question is, what will
be the next subject upon which
President Wilson will change his
mind?
The preparedness" now ad-
vocated by Mr.. Wilson seems tC
be preparedness for the presi'

officers with views upon national
preparedness must refrain from
discussing them with or before
members of the military commit |
tees of the House ard Senate.
If the administration program
of preparedness is for defense of
the country and not defense Of
the Democratic party at the 1916
polls, this order muzzling the
officers of the army, especially
those of the general staff, must
be regarded as a grave error.

CARDS the matter in a very seri-
GUS light. Accurate informa-
ton is the one essential for the

the proposed national defense
program, dealing as it does with
adequate protection for the homes
of our people, their industries,
and the honor of Our flag and OF
our country.

to be the last, rather than the
first, to binder the legislative

died In this country in 1863. He re-
sided for some time at Lynn. Mass.
and from there removed to Sandwich.
Cape Cod In 1853 he went to New
ton. Long Island. and In 1858 and
1854 he was magistrate OF that town.
Fifth In descent from this Jonathan
Fish was Nicholas Fish, of New York
city, who was an officer in the Revo-
luton. He married Elizabeth Stuyve-
SAINT. great granddaughter of Petrus
Stuyvesant, the last of the old Dutch
governors OF New Amsterdam. The
celebrated Hamilton Fish was q son
of this Nicholas Fish. The coat of
arms borne by this branch of the
Fish family is that of the Fish fam
lily Of Kent. England. 1t is blazoned:
Sable. chevron wavy. between three
fleurs de lis, argent. The crest Is
tigers head. erased ermine. named
and tusked or.
There is some reason for believing
that Jonathan. the founder, of this
family, was one OF three brothers who
came from Kent. the other two be-
ing Nathaniel and John. They were
all reidents of Lynn previous to 1887.
Nathaniel removed to Newton, Jona-
than also removed to Newton and
founded the New York branch OF the
family. John went to New Jersey
and founded the Trenton branch OF the
family.
The family to which Preserved Fish
belongs was founded In this country
by Thomas and Mary Fish who had
seven children. Thomas died in
Rhode Island In 1857. The children
were Thomas who married Grizzel
Strange, Mehitable who married
Joseph Tripp. Mary who married
Fancis Brayton. Alice who married
IVfIlfo Knnw1aa Tnhn whnsa wifa
was named Joanna, Daniel who mar
ried Abigail Mumford and Robert who
married Mary Hall OF these Thomas
and Grizzeu had five children: Alice.
Grfzzel, Hope, Preserved and Mehita-
BILE. This seems to be the first use of
the name Preserved in the family.
Robert. the youngest of the children
OF the first settler, and his wife Mary
Hall, had nine children: Robert.
Mary. William. zuriel. Isaac. Alice,
Jonathan, Daniel and David. OF these
the last mentioned David married
JemIma Tallman and one Of their sons
was named Preserved. He married
first in 1859 Sarah Lawton. second
Elizabeth Austin.
To return to the one time secretary
OF state. Hamilton Fish-hs married
Julia Kean and they had five chill
dren. the thre sons being Hamilton
Fish, IT.. Nicholas Fish and Stuyvesant
Fish.
1t is a rather interesting fact that
there is a second New York family
of the name who were not originally
Fishes at all. Their first settler was
many, where he was born in 1850. He
settled in Schoharie, New York state,
where he died in 1920.

KINDNESS FOR
HORSES ASKED
Humane Society Urges Partic.
ular Care for Dumb Brutes
in Hot Weather

The Washington Humane Society,
through its secretary, John P. Heap. has
issued an appeal to the public urging kind
and considerate treatment for the horse
and other dumb beasts during this op-
pressively warm weather.
Numerous complaints of heat ex-
haustion and prostration are being re-
ceived daily and 1t is difficult to keep up
with them" says Mr.. Heap. with the
ton on the part of drivers this sad and
deplorable condition would be greatly
modified. -.
Tine toll of the heat and cruelty has
ranged between fifteen and twenty cases
day for the past three weeks, and has
run as high as twenty-five on one occa-
sion. This represents only those that
have been brought to our attention-there
may be many more we have not heard Of,
and likely is" continued Mr.. Heap.
The following suggestions for the care
Of the horse in hot weather are proffered:
Rest your horse often in hot weather,
II only for few minutes at time,
and see that he has water frequently.
Do not let him stand in the hot sun.
II It be necessary that he should stand
for any length of time, be sure to ge:
his head in the shade.
II your horse is overcome by heat get
him as soon as may be into cool, shady
place, but in the open air, and battle
his head and rinse his mouth with cold
water. II possible apply Ice to the head
and along the spine.
In the summer time your stable SHOULD
be thoroughly ventilated with as many
openings as possible. But screen all win
dows with netting and use screen doors
to protect the horse when standing in his
stall from mosquitoes and other insects.
A horse is frequently deprived of his nat
ural rest during the night by the bites of
insects and begins his days work In poor
condition.
