FISK GETS JOBS
FOR BOYS OF 9TH
Commander Rounds Up
Employers Who Shut
Doors on Guard

The 18th Regiment Is putting its
house in order. Every man but one in
the outfit bustles and scurries about
the armory. The exception Is the
stocky. scraggy- mustached veteran who
led the eth home. Colonel Willard c.
Fisk is supervising the mustering-out
process. of course, but his is differ
ent task. one that was voluntarily as
sumed. He is mastering jobs.
1t is Colonel Fisk's desire that no
eth man will be hunting job because
no lost the one he had before he an
swered the call of Uncle Sam. A stack
of correspondence on the colonePs desk
Yesterday afternoon looked like genu-
inc evidence that it won't be sine
cure.
Colonel Fisk had plenty Of proof
from the time the regiment reached
the border that employers were try
ing to dodge their obligations to the
men. His opinion has not changed. lie

themselves jobless. Some such cases
have already reached him.
Thus far Colonel Fisk has succeeded
in persuading all but few employers

soldiers places. That has meant much
correspondence. One OF the letters on

banks OF the country through its reg
ular bulletins, many institutions would
have committed themselves to the pur-
| chase Of such bills, under the misappre-
| hension that the issue was taking
place under its approval. Hence the
statement which took Wall Street una
wares.
The reference in that statement to
| the unwisdom of the private investor
going headlong into foreign loans was
! dictated by the considerations, first,
that the private investor at last will
/ be expected to carry the whole load,
wherefore, his welfare is paramount,
and, second, that many instances OF
, INSTRUMENTATION have been noticed
by the Board in the literature issuing
| from Wall Street This part of the
abatement has been criticised more than
any other. One objection to it has been
that. without being specific, the board
created doubt in the private investors
mind as to the value of foreign war
loans. The board would perhaps not
greatly mind being challenged to pro-
duce the specific instances.
What seems to the board to be the
case Is that tho country has been
launched upon career OF foreign
finance in which the private investor has
neither the experience fully to protect
himself nor the protection from the
vendors to which he is entitled.
The same is true in lesser degree OF
individual banks. Foreign commercial
paper has been ioated by Wall Street
among banks on misleading representa-
tons as to the eligibility Of such paper
for rediscount at the Federal Reserve
banks. A bank buying such paper on
taking it TO the Federal Reserve Bank
for rediscount would naturally be DIS
appointed, and would not unreasonably
saw that the Federal Reserve Board
ought to have warned il beforehand:
Tho board has not been unmiu dful OF
! the fact that TO confne foreign loans,
I in kind and degree, to lines OF sound
finance may arrest the expansion OF
war trade, may even conceivably cause
it to diminish, but it holds that II con
ditions have already reached the point
at which counsel Of prudence may De
4 harmful. it is all the more necessary
that such counsel should be ohered'
since to withhold it would be to IN
wife much more serious consequences

CUPID is VICTOR
IN BATTLE WITH
SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Miss Marjorie Cullen. Who
Would Not Desert Two Years
Ago, Is Welded

Cupid won against the cause yester-
day, with the result that two Of New
York's prettiest sufragists are no
longer in the ranks.
Miss Marjorie Cullen, who told the
only man two years ago that she would
never desert until tho vote was won,
was married yesterday at St Stephens
Church to J. Edward Humphreys. She
compromised, however, by having a
purely suffrage wedding. The decora-
tons were blue and yellow, the suf-
frage campaign colors. and the maid
of honor, Miss Ethel Cullen. wore a
blue gown, while the bridesmaids wore
yellow. The Office staff of the Woman
Suffrage Party attended in body, and
the bride was driven from her home
to the church by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Cats chauffeur, Joseph, who has been
on so many suffrage enterprises with
Miss Cullen that he demanded the
honor.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay and Mrs.
Gait gave the bride present Of silver,
and there were also gifts from the staff
of "The Woman Voter" and the direc~
tors OF the Woman Suffrage Party.
Two weeks ago Miss Cullen had a
kitchen shower of tinware at the votes
for women headquarters.
The other suffrage bride Of the day,
Miss Sarah Arlington, isn't really h
bride yet, but she resigned her post
with the National Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION yesterday. She departed last
night for her home in Richmond, Ind,
where she will be married In February
to Howard Reid, New York lawyer.

Ma stsd Effort

A young married woman set out to
 1onvince the social circles of her new v adopted city that she was of aristo- cratic lineage and upbringing- She pur- chased an expensive book on the eti- quette of the upper classes, took a course in auction under Mime. de Vil- Hers and steeped her husband in the philosophy and the diction of pink teas and formal dinners. What she could she bought on the deferred pay ment plan, and what she could not she borrowed from the neighbors. When all was ready she cut the grocery al lowance to the point of diminishing re- turns and hurled herself and her hus- band bodily into the best society. Aft CT two or three years of commendable effort she gravitated to the level of several other women who were doing the same thing and lived unhappily ever after.

Fiqhtina Locusts.

Modern methods to defeat an ancient enemy were employed with extraordi- nary success in Costa Rica- The coun- try was invaded by an army of lo- custs. Ordinary methods were employ ed to combat the pest without avail Then state of actual war was de clared against the insects. Cannon loaded with sand were wheeled into advantageous positions and the invad- ing army literally bombarded. Rockets. asphyxiating gases and gunpowder were also used, but the greatest sue ess was obtained with the sand. At he time of the first invasion of the ountry by the locusts they were ap- arently in comparatively small num- ers.. so that they were speedily driven cross the boundaries into Nicaragua. 4ctive defense preparations were then aade, and when the original invading rEny, heavily re-enforced, made it's econd appearance two months later

washInston's Wet Army.


 We are now accustomed to seeing the demon rum kicked out of whole empires. Armies, by imperial ediet, become dry as desert came1s.
 Washington's army, on the contrary, might drink all the liquor it could pay for, and even officers became intoxfcat- ed on duty and received but slight pun ishment. To David Lewis one of our most pafnstaking students of history, am indebted for the record of an in- teresting court martial due to a bottle of rum
 Lieutenant Bunburg was in com mand of the Statehouse guard-it is officially referred to as the Statehouse zone day in May, TIT. Not only was he intoxicated himself, but he carried liquor to his own troops and neglected his duty for hours. I His punishment was suspension of command and pay for one fortnight!

 After Nicola had become general he was chairman of that unique com mittee which offered a crown to Wash ington- P Philadelphia Ledger.

It seems strange to us today to read of saffron as perfume. But such it undoubtedly was almost universally, and the element of romance about it lies in the story told by Hakluyt of a pilgrim smuggling, at the risk of his life, from the Levant head of saffron in a hollow made in his staff, from which grew the plantation which gave it's name to Saffron WaldeR.-London Mail.
