"Boule furniture" he explain
ed, lis usually of ebony inlaid
with tortoise shell, and incrusted
with arabesques in metals of va
rious kinds. The incrustation had
to be very exact, and to get II so,
the artist clamped together two
plates OF equal size and thickness.
one of metal, the other of tortoise
shell, traced his design on the top
one, and then cut them both out
together. The result was two COM
binations, the original, with a tor
toise shell ground and metal ap-
plications; and the counterpart,
applique metal with tortoise shell
arabesques. Understand"

And now, Lester" Vantine
went on, "if the Grand Louis was

he said. But am going to make
a careful examination of the cab

find something-there ought to be
a monogram on it somewhere.
What want you to do is to cable
my shippers, Armand ct Fills, Rue
du Temple, find out who owns
this cabinet, and buy 1t for me-"
And after he had told me how
much to offer for the cabinet he
asked me to come with him to see
1t.
He led the way down stairs; but
when we reached the lower hall,
he paused.
perhaps I'd better see my visi-

I'll be with you in a minute.
I started on, and he turned
through a doorway at the left.
An instant later, I heard his
voice calling me.
Lester! Come here!" he cried.
I ran back along the hall, into
the room which he had entered.

catch in his voice, and pointed to
dark object on the floor.

NICKNAMED HIM "PANsY."
That evening, when he saw the
newspapermen, not wishing to set
himself up as an army authority
on a few hours notice, Baker side
stepped army questions and talked
about flowers.
Whereupon, to meet the re-
quirements of copy" the news
writer's quoted the new secretary
of war at length on the subject
of posies and nicknamed him
"Pansy."
Today, however, they have an
other name for him in Washing

The new nickname is 1.-THE Lit

Between the bestowing of the
first title and the last, Baker

accomplished it all with a mini

Also, he was quick to recognize
the weaknesses of organization

the full confidence of President
Wilson and every fellow-cabinet
member in his ability to handle
any and all problems that any war
situation may bring.
In the 10 months Baker has
been in the cabinet he has met
the varied problems of army ad-
ministration like an old-timer.
In those months he has had
more perplexing problems to meet
than any previous peace time sec
rotary of war and problems prob
ably more harrassing than any
presented even under war con-
ditions since the civil war.
METHODS HAVE MADE
HIM LIKED BY OFFICERS.
Yet he has met them promptly.
directly, and in such a manner as
to win not only the approval of
his superior-the president-but,
what is more difficult, the COM
mendation and enthusiastic loyal
ty or the ranking army officers
through whom he must act.
Baker took office as secretary
OF war the day after Villa and his
bandits had raided Columbus, N.
M, numbering United States citi-
zens and burning the town.
1t was a situation that might
well have taxed q secretary set
tied in his job and with a firm
and experienced grip on his or

But not Baker. He lighted his
pipe, called in the chief of staff
and his advisory officers, and
asked to be informed ON what was
what. Before he decided on what
to do, he wanted to know Just
what had been done and what he
had to do with.
Officers who attended those
first conferences say Baker seized
the situation as easily as Ty Cobb
grabs a pop fly. His questions
went straight to the heart of
things, and he squeezed each SUBJ

and extends aid and comfort, then tho
adherence becomes reasonable. Any
thing, i'm deed orword, that lends COM
fort to am enemy and thus tends tc

ing to increase the enemy's resistance.
or discourage the resistance of the
United States, might be construed as
reasonable.
Treason. as defined by the constitu
ton and interpreted by the courts, has
been q common crime i'm this country
since April 6 last. In their conception
of the right of free speech sundrg
Americans have felt perfectly free to
oppose the nations war purpose and
it's preparation therefor Many OF
these acts have operated to give ait

of prosecution would have resulted in
conviction Only the patience of the
public and of its representative Off
cials has prevented the filling of the
prisons with men who conceived the
right of free speech to be authority
for reasonable acts.

is i'm the hands of the government,
not the private citizen. Peace coun-
ellis and pacifst arguments have no
place at the present stage of national
affairs, and the discussion of "why

WHAT TREASON Is

We hear a great deal OF treason" ;
what is il? According 20 the cousG-
tuition Of the United States it consists
only in Ievying war against our coun-
try, or adhering to our enemies and
giving them aid and comfort. The
Post-IntelIigeucer recently published.
in extenso, the Interpretation of the
crime OF treason by Charles Stewar,
Dawson. of New York. and his contri-
button to the work Of spreading the
facts is being assisted by attorneys
Of reputation in many portions of the
country. 1t is high time the country
came to know what treason is.
The courts have interpreted the
constitutional provision so often and
in such q variety Of phases that the
real act Of treason can be more fully
glimpsed in court decisions than I'm
the scant words of the constitution.
A conviction for treason. it appears,
must be on the testimony OF at least
two witnesses as to the covert act"
The courts have decided that am ex-
preston of opinion may be fully as
much Of an act as a blow. Thoughts
and words, equally with deeds, consti-
tuJe an act, but a thought may not
be an covert" act. Non-action, when
duty demands the eeUton of bodily
or mental powers is also interpreted
as an act; uttering words may be am
overt act, and the utterancc may, In
itself, constitute treason. This is q
point in the law that might well be
impressed upon the various citizens
and others who criticize with extreme
freedom the war purpose of the ma
ton.
One may adhere" however to an
enemy nation, or be attached to it,
without encompassing treason; if
