Lanlers Grave Marked.

After thirty-five years a stone has at
last been raised over the grave Of Sid
ney Lanier in Greenmount cemetery,
In Baltimore. Since his burial there In
1881 the grave has been unmarked.
The tablet set into the bowlder of
Georgia granite which now marks the
grave bears these words of Lanier's:
81 am lit by the sun" They are char
acteristic Of the poet and they suggest
the appeal which Lanier's work will
yet make to the American people; for
though he died Ia poverty and obscure
ty the power of his almost perfect
song, warmed as it is by the sun and
breathed through by the wind, has
been gaining ever since, until today he
is one of the accepted poets, rather
more than minor" of our literature
and life.
The long neglect OF his name and his
grave in Baltimore brings out the 9TH
er strange fact, says the Boston Tran
script, that Baltimore, though called
the Monumental City" has no monu-
ment to Poe, though in Baltimore he
was reared, and though there he Is
buried Neither has Boston, where he
was born, a statue of him. Our Amer
lean poets are in poor credit with our
statue raisers.

Trick to Dodge u-Boats.


There is one trick in the game OF
beating the submarines which was
played very well by the ship that
brought me across the Atlantic from
Liverpool She was advertised to sail
on Wednesday at 5 p. m. On Tues
day afternoon each person who had
booked passage by her received per-
sonal and private notification from her
agents that her sailing had been post
poned for two days OF course, it
would be extremely difficult to get
that information to any submarine
which might be lying in wait for that
particular ship in time to do the sub
marine any good: but, Just to make It
a little more certain, she did not sail
even at the postponed time The pas
sengers all went up to Liverpool on
Friday and aboard ship. The vessel
pulled out of the dock and anchored
in the stream. There she waited for
orders from the admiralty. It was
thick and cold, with frequent snow
squalls, all day on Saturday-ideal
weather for lodging submarines; but
the admiralty did not give the word
to go until that evening. Then we
went out into the murk at top speed.

NettIe substItute for cotton.

DR.. Oswald Richter, professor of
botany at the University for Agricul-
ture in Vienna, prophesies that as a
result of his experiments with nettle
fiber Austria will become independent
Of foreign cotton. The authorities
have decided to organize and to pre-
pare for the use of the new material
In his efforts to separate the fiber of
the nettle Professor Richter used am
monia with success, but the high cost
of this method made 1t appear COM
mercially improbable. Further ex-
periments ESQ Professor Richter said
in recent Iecture) have proved that
the fibers may be separated with wa
ter. He has also simplifed the process
Of separation. For this reason he be-
lieves that the cultivation OF nettIes
win be found profitable even in time
of peace.

TO MATE WITH AMERICANS
Probable That Part of the Surplus
European Women VIII Come to
This Country.

For every man that has fallen in the
European war a woman somewhere
has lost sweetheart or a husband.
The final figures which death, the
reaper, win write red at the bottom of
his record viii correspond with just
SO many minated women, minated
with small possibility of marrying
while they live in their native lands.
The women of the man-reduced ma
tons must either face lives of ce-
libacy or go elsewhere for their hus-
bands. 1t is therefore predicted that
vast influx of woman immigrants to
America viii be witnessed as soon as
peace is established.
The question of handling this posi-
Bile influx is already being discussed
and large philanthropic land develop
ment concern has been suggested to
form colonies where the immigrant
war widows and others may own and
operate farms.
But woman without a man on a
farm would not be very safe invest
ment even for a philanthropist. So the
question Of finding husbands for the
various nationalities of Europe is one
that must be seriously met and solved
The great percentage of our own
women live in the East. And in the
middle West and Southwest there are
hundreds of thousands Of ranch own
ers, cowboys and miners who have few
opportunities for marriage.
But suppose a shipload Of fascinat-
ing foreign women were transported
to the center of the cowboy region
all desiring to make some lonely,
healthy and handsome spuncher'' a
helpful wife What would be the effect
on those sturdy Americans on the
range? Suppose another shipload
were carried to prosperous mining
town, where thousands of lonely men
live in barren boarding houses. or keep
bachelor cabins among the hills.
Would the cowboys stampede and
would the miners drop their muck
sticks to marry the transplanted fe-
male species?
Both the owners of mines and
ranches prefer to have their men mar
ried, because in that state they don't
drift around from camp to camp so
much. They would therefore give such
a matrimonial propaganda sufficient
and encouraging backing. And as for
the bachelors, who among them would
not feel the call of romance offered in
such a way?
French, Russian, Viennese, English
and Italian, with corresponding Ian
guage and manner to each. The only
needs would be hyphenated diction-
airy and hurrying clergyman. Does
romance ever need a language when
mating does the talking?

twice as much as they could last year
