OLD SCHOOL CHUMs UNITED.

Benjamin Fish, who has just re- turned from abroad, tells a singular story of the meeting of an old school chum in mid-ocean that smacks of the romantic. Neither one had seen the other for nearly 50 years and had really forgotten about each others existence.
 On board the Germanic from Liv- erpoo1 was an English parson who preached to the passengers on Sum- day and after the sermon was intro- duced to his auditors. In meeting Fish. he recognized an old school chum from Manchester, Lancaster shire. Both had attended the St. Jude's school and they recounted the happy thoughts of their school days. The parson. the Rev. Thomas Brad bury. of South London, had been en- gagged to Ffsh's sister, Margaret, but they had quarrelled and he made up to her friend. Miss Robinson.
 The strange meeting soon became the talk of the ship and the other passengers delighted / in asking MT. Fish his age when they learned that the meeting was the first in 50 years.

FRANCES FRIENDLY PROMISE

The dispatches tell us that the French are going to turn over to Uncle Sam all the business here tofore done with Germany, which is very nice in France. But France is all het up just now, and isn't thinking about economics. After the war France will do just what all other nations will do - buy where she can buy cheapest and best, and the United States will get just as much of her business as busi- ness rules command, and no more.
 It is well to hear the promise merely as an evidence of French desire to hold the goodwill of the United States through the war, and not borrow any money on it. At the same time those among us who possess the sapiency of keen busi- ness men will be figuring how we can manufacture as cheaply and as well as other manufacturing nations. We shall have the edge on Ger many while French hatred is being by the sOftening influence Of time. But even through that period most of the French mer- chants will buy where the buying is best. America should make Ameri- ca the best place. It's a great Op- portunity.-Cordova Times.

THE LUSITANIA

When it happened, the loss of the Lusitania was one of the great world-tragedies. It bas since be- come a subject Of diplomatic notes, adroit, polite and cheerful. The state department wants to know what Germany will do to cicse the matter, and Germany makes yari- ous offers, ceding more and more as the United States in turn backs down, further and further. It is almost as animated and as exciting as a game of chess by mail The chances are that it will be a draw battle. Germany in time will "disayow" the act and will offer to pay a certain number Of dollars and cents, and the United States (too proud to fight, but not too proud to collect money for not fighting will then express its gracious pleasure at driyjag such a good bargain; and ldiplomatjca ly) the incident will be closed.
 This "disavowal" of the act of the submarine will be, os course, only a polite fiction. Tho com mauder of the submarine which sand the Lusitauia has been decorated and is now, thanks to his promotion hou0red throughout the Empire ra loss of the Lusiania was oe.aBcac- ed at the time, and is so considered today, as one of the greatest causes for rejoicing among the German people. Now that the German U boats have been driven from Brit ish waters, the German government assur,s the United States that no German submarines will repeat the Offense. True the oGtease was re peated the other day against the Ancona, but the German boat was then flying an Austrian flag, which made all the difference in the worId-except to the victims.
 The "disavowaI," therefore, does not mean at all that the German government is sorry the Lusttanta was sunk. It is not. No man who had a hand in causing the tragedy will be punished. But as the Unit ed states insists upon it, this dis ayowaI" will be made, because it does not hurt Germany in the slight est and it may please the president. When it comes to making a perfect Iv harmless concession, for the purpose of Quieting a bothesome demand by Americans that the presi den. do something" the German statesmen are the most courteous and ybligiug of diplomats.
 A wild-eyed individual invaded the White House at Washington some time ago, inststent that the president do something" about some of the tragedies at sea. It appears that the stranger was talk en to one of the Washington in- stituuous for observation by stu dents Of mental aberrations. Under the circumstances, the action seems to have been wise and logical. It is months since the Lusitaria went down. And still the state depart ment is beroicalIy trying to squeeze

MRS. EDISON ELECTED
HEAD OF |MPROVERS

Divergences of opinion were ex-
pressed by Mayor Farnham Yardley,
of Vast Orange, and Mrs. Thomas A.
Edison at a meeting of the West
Orange Improvement League last
night as to most suitable location of
a new municipal building for the
town. Mrs. Edison was reelected
last night to the presidency of the or
ganization.
Mayor Yardley criticised the present
municipal headquarters and invited
the members of the league to attend
the meetings of the Town Council in
order to see the crowded and made
auate conditions. There is hardly
sufficient room to move around. the
executive said. adding that an inspec-
ton would bring to the residents of
the community the realization that
new town hall is necessary.
The mayor and Mrs. Edison differed
when the former suggested that
municipal building be erected ON the
southwest corner of Valley road and Mt
Pleasant avenue, in the triangle. This
would be an ideal spot where the peo-
pie could see the building, he declared.
Mrs. Edison maintained that the
northwest corner would be more APP
propriate inasmuch as a cafe is To-
Gated there and the new municipal
building at that point would eliminate
the saloon.
The water proposition and the ques-
! tion of widening Valley road at ST.
| Marks Church were also discussed by
Mayor Yardley. who said the road
was not wide enough at that point.
! Besides Mrs. Edison, the officers
chosen by the improvers last night
are: Mrs. James Minor Maghee, first
Vice-president; Mrs, Borden d. Whit
! ing. second president; Mrs.
! Henry n. Mum, third vice-president:
Mrs. Byron G. Harlan, recording sec
retary; Mrs. Richard B. Tillinghast,
corresponding secretary, and Miss
| Alice +. Grady, treasurer.
Mrs. Byron G. Harlan read the con-
densed reports of the different dis
trict chairmen for 1915. The treas
urer reported "a balance on hand of
S11S35 These reports were accepted
and placed on file. Chauncey Owen,
in charge of the boys club at the
community house, reported that five
boys clubs have been formed.
Mrs. Edison discussed the work of
the Improvement League: that the
people should be very proud of the
work accomplished by the league. and
also thanked the Board of Education
for their work.
Mayor Farnham Yardley told of the
good and constructive work that the
league was doing in building up the
community, and he appreciated the
work of the organization. You should
receive more support said the
speaker.

CAPTAIN DONALD NOW
RETIRED SEA CAPTAIN
Scotch Residents of County
Will Hear RegretfuIIy of Vet
eran Seaman's Withdrawal.

Information has been received by
Donald AIcFarlane, Of % Berwick
street. Orange. of the retirement of
William Donald, captain of the
steamship Dunara Castle, which has
been used in Scotland's coastwlse
trade for many years.
/ Captain Donald was known TO
scores of Scottish people now living
an his country. and news of his with
drawal from following the sea after
hfty-four years of service will be re-
eeiyed with interest by Scotchmeh in
this city and county. Mr. McFarlane.
who has been resident of Orange
for about seven years, formerly sailed
under Captain Donald on many Voy-
ages.
Captain Donald's name is inSepara-
bly, linked with the pioneer steamer
traffic along Scotland's coast. Born
in Ayrshire, Mr.. Donald first TOOK
service with the famous lsleman In
1860 under Captain RitChie, whose
knowledge of the coast waters enabled
him to evade sccessfully the perils
of the Hebrides archipelago.
Mr.. Donald, still under twenty
years of age, became purser and grad
ually rose to higher positions. All of
his companions of those days are
dead
Mr.. Donald sailed when the nearest
rail to the route terminated at Stir
ling. The only other steamer that
traded To the Hebrides islands was
the Clansman. and these vessels made
the round trip each week.
Scotchmen agree that these early
steamers were of incalculable beneht
TO the western isles. often after the
steamers had been loaded with ponies
and cattle several gales forced the
shippers to unload again and pasture
the livestock until the sea was safe
for TRANSFORMATION. These steamers
were meeting Centers where scat
tered population, separated by many
IL mountain and loch, came together
and learned the local news that other
wise would be hidden from them.
Outsiders can scarcely realize how
important to the Scotch these steamer
j trips came to be
! The cabin became a sort of Club-
where men from all parts of Scotia
met and exchanged views while the
journey TO the south was being un-
dertaken. The Clansman and the
Isleman were names familiar in dis
tant parts of the country.
From the Isleman Mr.. Donald was
transferred to her successor, the
DunVegan Castle, and afterward to
the Talisman, which later became a
pirate craft and was used along the
/ Spanish Main Eventually Mr.. DON
aid became captain of the Dunara
Castle, in which he faced the Null of
j kntyre ON many a winters night
when larger vessels had to seek the
shelter of the Firth.
Captain Donald had a wide ac-
/ quaintanee and spent much of his
! leisure in studying. His cabin con-
tanned many volumes on philosophy
and works of literature.
