Strange are the follieS of the human
mind And strange the endingS of many
great men-of Napoleon, landed on st.
Helena by excessive ambition, or an Alex
ander Hamilton, killed in foolish duel
through excessive vanity.
Hamilton, who refused the office of
Chief Justice of the United States because
he did not look for honor, but preferred
hard work, could not resist the invitation
of the BLACKBOARD Aaron Burr, who chal-
lenged Hamilton to duel, because he
wanted to kill him and get rid of him.
Poor Hamilton, who had boosted of
his blood Gas proud and high as that of
any," thought that he must prove his
aristocracy by allowing himself to be
butchered like dog.
And hundred and fifteen years ago,
at Weehawken, across the Hudson river
from New York, he stood up and allowed
himself to be murdered by Aaron Burr'S
first shot.

When the publication of this page
announcement was ordered by A. L. En-
LANCER, of Klaw & Granger, Mr.. Granger
was asked, ''What shall we say about this
play in the advertisement" Here is the
reply:

That is the story of a wonderful life
"a mere bare outline. 1t is the story that
George Arliss presents NOW to the public
at the New National Theater in Wash
ington.
Full of power, intense interest, dra-
matte force, this play interpreted by pro-
found actor should be seen by every in
telligent American.
Add as an interesting touch, that
Hamilton left behind him four boys and
four girls and a widow, who died at the
age of ninety-Seven, and wore mourning
for fifty years. A rare widow, a powerful
woman. Let us hope that her blood has
been handed down with Hamilton'S, by
some of those eight children, and that
some of that blood is fighting for this
country in France now, more uSefully than
poor Hamilton, stirred by vanity and fool
ish convention, fought the Weehawken
fight of more than century ago.

Hamilton studying, working to the
hour of his premature death, had his hand
in everything; in war, brave fighter and
capable commander.
And in politics and craftsmanship
great leader.
He taught this country in its baby
hood that nation cannot have thirteen
different heads. There must be one head,
and the head must do the thinking, PLAN
ming, and ordering.
We are getting a one-headed govern
ment in this country, and freeing ourselves
from the notion that the United States
should travel in forty-eight different direc-
tons at once, and we owe it to the early
work of Alexander Hamilton, whose char
acter and power ArlisS portrayS so mar

CONFIDENCE IN q. s. ARMY.
Japanese Paper Predicts Efficient

TOXIC. Japan. October 1o.-The jill
Shimpo rebukes those who are apt to
think lightly of the American Army.
1t reminds them that the English army
which at first was despised because
the English were looked upon as mere
shopkeepers on the banks of the
Thames without military training, be-
came powerful.
The paper expresses confidence that
the American Army will be efficient in
the manner. and acknowledges that
America has already given direct and
indirect material and spiritual assist
ance to the allies.

CAMP MEADE, Admiral, Md. octo-
Der 10.-At last they're here.
After waiting for just two weeks
the District selects. composing the
312th Machine Gun Battalion, have re-
ceived their uniforms-at least the
greater part of them-including the
big. thick. warm service overcoats.
Yesterday being an especially dis
NAL, sloppy, wet, miserable and gloomy
day, the powers-that-be over here. as
regards soldier clothes for the men
of the new National Army, had heart
and notified the commanding ohcers
of the three companies of the 312th to
send to the depot for uniforms. There
was cheer in the barracks when the
news went around, and nobody shirked
when details of men were called Tor
to go and get the equipment.
Huge Piles, of Outfits
Huge piles of o. D. shirts, trousers,
overcoats, socks and heavy winter I'M
derwear soon began coming into the
squad rooms in boxes lugged by per-
spring but willing soldiers. The stun
was speedily unpacked, sorted and
checked, and the men began trying on

Big heating stoves for use in the
squad rooms and mess halls were dis
tributed yesterday. and these stoves
are to be set up and started just as
soon as the work can be done. Until
the steamatters get the steam heating
plants installed and connected. and
the radiators set up. the stoves will
furnish heat in the barracks, the fuel
being largely waste lumber, of which
there are immense piles scattered
around the cantonment.

Yesterday was the worst day since
the selected men began arriving at
Camp Meade. A cold driZzle of rain
fell practically all day. cutting off

Joseph Hartigan of New York Declares
Prompt Action is Necessary to Pre-

New York, April 11-Joseph Harti-

measures, issued a statement tonight
declaring that "on1y prompt action by
the United States government can
avoid serious complications in the food
supply situation in the United States"
Since the declaration of a state of
war between this country and the
German government, Mr.. Hartigan as
serted, prices on all foodstuffs at
wholesale and retail in this city have
advanced Reports received by him,
he added showed the existence of
Speculative corners" in canned sal
mon, canned tomatoes and yellow on
ions.
1T is said in the trade,' declared Mr..
Hartigan, that capital is being fur
nished to experienced food merchfnts
by persons outside of the trade to
gamble in food stocks. Such conduct
should be met by new laws making
such an act a crime. Anyone speculat-
ing in food products at this time should
be declared a public enemy"
Mr.. Hartigan also asserted that buy
ing by consumers in quantities is "u1-
patriotic and will work immeasurabse

AUTOcRATIc POWER TO
DEAL WITH FOOD PROBLEM
Proposed to President Wilson by Rep
resentative Lever.

Washington, April 11.-Granting of
autocratic power to some branch of the
government to deal with the food prob
lem was proposed to President Wilson
today by Representative Lever of
South Carolina, chairman of the house
committee on agriculture.
Mr.. Lever said drastic steps would
nave to be taken to meet the serious
world shortage of food supply if Amer
lea is to feed her own people and aid
the entente countries. He spoke of the
shortage of farm labor, declaring it
was a question for serious considera-
ton whether men for work on the
farms should not be drafted
The National Agricultural society,
at a patriotic convention here yester-
day. formally approved a plan for the
creation of a federal bureau to control
food production and distribution and
fix prices.
Among the possible ways of increas-
ing the food supply suggested by Mr..
Lever was to close down distilleries
using grain in the manufacture of
whiskey and other intoxicants. He said
over SOC, 600, 900 bushels of grain are
used annually in this way.
