WAS PR0TEGE OF GRANT

Rear Admiral Thomas r. Howard,
who retired recently, had held many
OF the most important posts of the
navy on both sea and land.
Admiral Howard is proud Of the
fact that he owes his naval career To
a compact his father made with Grant
when the two went TO war in 1861. If
either failed 10 return from the war,
the survivor pledged himself TO watch
over those left behind.
Captain Howard raised his COM
pany, and was killed, with most of his
men, in railroad accident on his way
TO the front.
After the war Grant Interested
himself in Howard's two sons. One
was sent TO West Point. The other,
Thomas b., received an appointment
to Annapolis. When he graduated
Grant sent him a sum OF money.
BUY what you will, he said. 'Tve
been boy ut graduation tEme-and
know how many things you'll need"

TRIES TO RETURN TO WAR

Having already lost leg in the
service of the allies, Lieut.. Theodore
Marburg, Jr., of Baltimore, son of the
former American minister to Belgium,
applied to the state department for a
passport In order to return to his post
as an officer of the Royal British avi-
alton corps. His application was re-
jected on the ground that he had for
felted his American citizenship.
Lieutenant Marburg has been in
this country since last April, when he
returned TO recuperate from his
wounds, which were received while he
was flying over the German lines in
France. He was accompanied to tbs
country by his bride, who was Bar
oness Glselle de vavario of Belgium.
Young Marburg, who is twenty
two years Of age, had met the bar
oness shortly before the outbreak OF
the war, while his father was still
representing the United States at the
court of King Albert, The young man

BETHMANN.HOLLWEG A GREAT WORKER

Bethmann-Hollweg, chancellor of
Of the German empire, is a prodigious
worker. He has vigorous health and
a tough, wiry body, and few men can
spend more hours a day at desk. At
seven o'clock every morning he takes
a ride Of an hour In the park. Then
follows the simple German breakfast,
and the long days work begins imme-
dlately after that.
But the days work is with him
rather indefinite expression, according
to a writer in the Century, for he
often returns TO it in the evening, and
is sometimes kept at his desk till mid
night. He Is so absorbed in his work,
and has withal so little liking for
public functions and ceremonies, that
his critics have sometimes seized upon
this fact to blame him for being
something of a recluse and showing
himself too seldom in public. In fact,
the chancellor has never utilized the
spectacular possibilities of his posi-

In addition to the more than
$8,000,000 already raised in the
United States for the benefit Of the
suffering Jews in Europe, it is plan
ned to raise an additional $4,000
900 in 1917 for the same purpose.
Much of the money that has been
sent and Of that which will contin-
ue to be sent to Europe from this
country comes from Jews, but a
fair proportion has been contributed
by liberal Christians who admit
that the Jew has the same right to
live that is accorded to others in
this country and that it is sharle
that they are so violently persecut-
ed in Europe. Many Jews in the
United States are enormously rich,
while many more are in good cir
cumstances and as the Jews are fa-
nous for taking care of their own
race. it can be confidently expected
that the desired ten millions will be
raised next year

Mrs. Walter McNab Miller, Of
Missouri, first Vice-President of the
National Association, went last
week to Washington to remain
through the campaign for the Fed
eral amendment. Upon her arrival
she gave a statement to the press
which should receive the most
hearty endorsement Of every suf-
fragist. She spoke most strongly Of
the absolute necessity for continu-
ing the non-partisan policy of the
suffrage movement. Nothing can
take away the justice of votes for
women. But many of the practical
benefits of 1t will be lost If women
will permit themselves to become
entangled with any political organi-
zation. They must, if they are to
accomplishing reforms they hope,
refuse to tie themselves in any way
which can at any time prevent their
voting according to what they be-
lieve to be Fundamentally right. If
they can only be wise enough to
do that, there will always be enough
women and enough right-thinking
men to carry any election. The
time now is so short until the bal
lot is to be actually in the hands Of
women that it is wise for them to
consider these things a little, and be
wary as to what alliances they
form.

after such a contest as we have just

Meanwhile let business 60 on, let

subside and let the peace and pros
perity of the country be uppermost
in every mind. --Leslie's.

WHEN IT'S OVER.

The American people have one
saving virtue, that is they accept
the result of the ballot box as con-
elusive and abide by the result.
Party feeling may run high. 1t US
ually does among people Of highly
nervous temperament. but beyond
party, Patriotism always stands and
in its hands is the torch Of peace.
The subdued light which that
torch reflects Gains the passions Of
the crowd, bushes the murmers Of
discomfort and stills the apprehen-
sions of the defeated and discourae-
ed.
1t is a splendid thing to be a good
loser-to accept defeat at the hands
of an adversary; to yield to the
force of circumstances; to turn for
ward and not bacAwsrd.
We have passed through a cam
paign of education. Both parties
have been learning the temper Of
the people, the power of sentiment,
the strength Of sophistry, the strain
of human credulity, the folly Of
misdirected falkland a lot of 9TH
er things.
But with it all has come a sense
of respect for dissenting opinions,
when sincerely held and ardently
and sincerely advocated.
The great nation moves on. Let
us have four years in which all can
do deeper thinking. Let them not
be years of strife, ut Of patriotic en-.
deaver to promote every effore that
makes the nation stronger, the peo-
pie better, and that inspires purer,
higher and nobler spirit of patriot
ism.
-Four years pass quickly. Every
administration must be held for the
fulfilment Of its pledges--a respon-
sibility that cannot be shirked, for

1t has been long told that in
China there is law that in the
event of a bank failure, the heads
Of the bank officials shall be the
first listed assets of the bankrupt
institution, with the result that
China has never had a bank failure.
In that connection it occurs to us
that when the world Peace League
is formed if the first rule to be

line Of the first battle fought, we
opine that rulers will be as reluc-

are to burst their institutions in
