THE LAWS TEMPLE.

In the consideration of war legisla- ton at the last session of Congress, involving questions of international law, contributions of Representative Henry W. Temple, of Pennsylvania, to the discussions did much to throw light on the difficult points in debate. Mir. Temple has made special study of the laws of nations, particularly their application to belligerents, and is looked upon by his colleagues as an authority in such matters. Recogniz- ing his command of the subject the Bar Association of the State of Mary land invited MT. Temple to address them at their annual meeting. His remarks on that occasion were printed and received wide circulation among members of the bar and other stu dents of international law.

THE BUSINESS MANS "BIT."

As the war is great leveler, so it is great elevator and purifier. Out of wars fiery crucible comes the fin est product of humanity-brave, un- selfish devotion to our country and a high-born spirit of self-sacrifice on the altar of universal liberty. AS war has taught us to regard with more appreciation the glorious institutions of our country--threatene as they are by the bloody struggle in which the world is engaged, it has in com pensation taught us the saving grace of patriotism and self-denial. "There is no sorrow, grief or care without some compensating grace"
 The business men of the United States, as we'll as those of England, Canada, France and all the countries engaged in the war, by their capacity for organization and efficient leader ship are mighty aid to the govern ment.
 Much more has been asked of the business interests than in past mili- tary struggles. The war is costing many millions of dollars each day and the share of the United States will approximate $12,500,0OO,000 during the next twelve months-a sum so stupendous that it is almost beyond our mental grasp. Taxes are exceed ingly high and will continue to mount unless peace comes soon of which there are faint but hopeful signs, as the financial burdens of the enemy in- crease and his military power dimin- ishes. Taxes never are popular, but they must be borne cheerfully for the good of all of us. Prices of fuel and food, as we'll as other commodities are being fixed by the government in response to the exigencies of the time and here also there is need for review ing the situation with patriotic cheer. fitness.
 Unlimited funds for the army anC navy and auxiliary marine and fo, mighty fleet of aeroplanes are the greatest insurance against disaster and hardship for our troops and sail ors. Unlimited funds are needed fol the dependents at home, and these funds best can be raised by bond is sues and we'll organized subscriptions such as have been so successful ir Canada and England.
 Production of war materials mus be maintained and I have no doub' that the national administration rec ognizes the importance of stimulating rather than retarding great industrial commercial and transportation force: of the nation.-Samucl M. Hastings ir American Industries for November.

OUR WAR WAKEFULNESS.

A good deal has been said in this newspaper and elsewhere about the American people not having awaken ed to the size of the job ahead of them. But we are quite ready to be- lieve with MT. Sam Blythe, who writes on the subject in the Saturday Eve ming Post, that good deal of the misunderstanding is due to certain Washington statesmen whose tall talk has helped blunt public perception of the truth.
 We have heard so much of the big things the government was doing, so much about our limitless wealth and resources, our organizing and invent i've ability and all the rest of it, that it would not be surprising if a lot of individual Americans had concluded that everything had been attended to and that they only had to wait the news of the kaiser's equalization, and in the meantime go about their busi- ness as usual.
 We are told that MT. Edison was going to win the war. We were told again that the war was to be won with huge air fleet, and again that it was to be won with ships. We have have heard these things so often that perhaps we got the idea that MT. Ed ison, had perfected that much looked for invention, that the air fleet was actually in existence and that the ships were built. In any case it was easy for us to think that there was nothing left for us to do individually, and if this feeling took hold and dull ed our perception of things to an ex- tent it will explain good deal of this so-called lack of wakefulness and lack of understanding.
 Nobody has really believed that we could win the war with promises of what we were going to do, but it is also true that we have been too ready to accept these promises from Wash ington as evidence of performance be- hind them. But this is as much the fault of the statesmen as of the peo- pie. The promises come from Wash ington. Probably they were meant to inspire, but perhaps their effect was merely to soothe.
 We need more attention to the job and less talk about what we may do some time year after next.-Kansas City Times.

DUSTIN FARNUM HAD
 A WONDERFUL MAKEUP

On the first day that Director Rich ard Stanton began photographing "The Scarlet Pimpernel," William Farnum found William Fox hard at work in his open-air office at Holly wood.
 q want to introduce you to an old friend of mine," said Will Farnum. "She recently arrived from Buckport, Maine, where I was raised, and I've induced Dick Stanton to use her in his picture"
 Whereupon, Will produced hag- gard old woman, with struggling gray hair, thin, protruding chin, and a shaky voice.
 "I'm very glad to meet you, MT, Fox" said the woman. "And l thank you for giving me place. It's hard for us old folks to find work, you know"
 Her voice was thin and shaky, and she tottered even as she stood there.
 "Won't you sit down, ma'am?" Mir. Fox asked. He was all solicitation.
 Then the woman burst into a mighty roar of laughter, much too hearty to issue from such old lips. 7
 "Well, we fooled you that time," she cried in extremely masculine tones. The voice enlightened the not ed producer.
 q never would have known you, Dusty" he said. "The make-up's great.
 It was Dustin Farnum in the dis guise he assumes at the beginning of "The Scarlet Pimpernel."

MIsDIRECTED ENERGY.

It is not at all surprising that when the nation had been plunged unex- pectedly into a war which we had been assured we had been kept out of, much of the long-delayed preparation has been expensive and wasteful. At the time when we could have prepared deliberately, we were assured that we had not neglected preparedness and that we were ready to defend our selves to the utmost. We went in blind unpreparedness and now we are largely going it blind in preparations. We are getting conflicting statements from Government officials concerning the progress of preparations, and the hysteria that exists in the admins tration naturally spreads to the coun- try at large, Out of such situation there has grown what might almost be called a mania for starting and con ducting movements for aiding the sol diers, the army, the navy, the hospit- als, the destitute of Europe, the or phans, the returning soldiers, etc., all of which movements are commenda- ble in their purpose but apparently have too little co-ordinated and intel ligent direction.
 Where ill-directed movements of this kind are likely to lead is illus trated by an account given by the New York Times showing the results of an "Army and Navy Bazaar" held in New York. The gross receipts were over S75,000, out of which there was S755 net for expenditure in the pur- chase of comfort kits for the men on the firing line. About one cent out of every dollar put into the enter prise was expended for the real pur- pose in view.
 These facts were not stated by the Times for the purpose of discrediting every movement for the aid of the soldiers, nor are they repeated here for any such purpose. But the peo- pie who contribute money have a right to know, and it is their duty to know, that the money they contribute goes for the real object intended. This is their right and duty not only as to private, voluntary, contributions, but in no less degree as to the money they are compelled to contribute through Federal taxes. Knowing these facts will insure a more intelligent and eff fective use of money and labor given by loyal and unselfish people foi the sreat task in which we are engag. ed. Only by publicity can we hope tc check waste.

ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER

The four per cent Treasury certifi- cates which MT. McAdoo is issuing in unlimited amounts should prove very popular. They bear four per cent in terest and they mature in June of next year-just when the income tax es are payable. They are being taken in large sums with the monies which corporation and individuals have set aside for the payment of these taxes and in the meantime they will produce tidy little income of their own. It is well-nigh perfect example of how one hand may be made to wash the other.

 How many have regularly attended the series of services at the Federated church?
 We hear some one say, q missed that sermon on Heaven or "I heard afterwards how fine that talk on I'm mortality was". Now, have no re- grets for the coming services, just come, for both morning and evening will interest you.
 "The Outflow of the Christian Life" will perhaps remind you of what you are withholding from your fellowmen, while the evening service on "Hell" will no doubt be as strong an address as the recent one on Heaven. Most favorable criticisms are being heard on every side concerning this series of talks. Come and be yourself con- vinced of their merits.

(By Associated Press)

DENVER, March 22. - High up on Lookout mountain. near here, over looking the four states which wit messed his greatest activity, a monu- ment to Colonel William F. Cody - Buffalo Bill' now seems assured, according to announcement of the Cody memorial association. The as. sociation says that several other or. ganizations already have undertaken the collection of funds for the monu- ment.
 The spot on the mountain top where the famous plainsman is to find his last resting place already has been ap- proved by the family. This approval has stimulated the coordination of all efforts to obtain a sufficient fund to construct a monument worthy of the scout who helped to open up the vast territory west of the Mississippi river.
 The formal burial ceremonies will take place on next Memorial Day, when the body will be borne from here to the rock hewn tomb on the top of the mountain. It will be buried with the full ritualistic service by the Knights Templar

PLON| FARM LANDS
 KENTUCKY

BEREA, Ky, March 23. - Tn view of the food shortage throughout the country. Berea college, in the great mountain region of the south, is mak- ing a special effort to develop the sur. rounding mountain land. Berea's chief endeayOr is being made through a two year course in mountain agriculture, the graduates of which are proving the best farm demonstrators" in gov. ernment service.
 The educational work which Derea is doing along this line is probably unique among college activities. Ac- cording to President Frost, the region is not naturally one to be thought of for great supplies. He says: Per haps not more than one-fourth of it's area can ever be plowed. But as source of food, the region must be cultivated. It is the man who has poor land who needs agricultural instruc- ton most"

WAR PROSPECTS ARE HELPING
 BASEBALL
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, March 23. - The pros pect of the entry by the United States into the war Is doing good for base ball if 1t is knocking the lid off every thing else. The military aspect of training camps and the patriotic ut terances of many men connected with the national game is giving it a stimu- Jus not known since the days before the battle with the Federal league.
 Baseball seemingly is reaching the most rational level it has touched since the Athletics used to clock off a pen. pant a season. Federal leagues are dead and forgotten and Dave Fultz has long since ceased to clutter up at atmosphere and the magnates' dreams with threats of what the baseball play CTS fraternity will do
 Players drilling in training camps and learning how to help if the coun- try ever becomes involvel in conflict is turning more than one mans head toward the sports page where in years past he would have passed it up. Ban Johnson never did more to stimulate interest than when he decided favor ably upon the military training plan suggested by Captain Til Huston, of the Yankees. Illusions military ap- pearanCe and the fact that he served in the army during the war with Spain lends a color of credence to stories that could not have arisen in any other way.

SOCIETY BUDS IN LAMP PA|GN FUR
 MORE SLEEP
(By United Press)

NEWPORT, K. l., March 22. - A campaign for more sleep and less drink among the society debutantes at this fashionable resort was spon- sored here today by Mrs. Joseph NJ. Gazzam, of Philadelphia.
 Bishop Rhinelander is expected to call a meeting soon to further the idea; and he is backed in this city by Bishop Garland and Dr. Floyd w. Tompkins.
 Mrs. Gazzam feels there is entirely too much wine drinking among young girls during their first season in SO ciety. She also condemns the dance till dawn and late supper idea. These practices, Mrs. Gazzam main tains, are apt to undermine the girls health and the example set is likely to lead to emulation on the part of the other young girls all over the country.
