Roosevelt Not to Go.

Congress has played sorry tricl
upon Woodrow Wilson. 1t ha,
passed the buck" to him as tc
whether Theodore Roosevelt is to b.
permitted to go to France at thu
head of his own division.
The President obviously will b.
guided by the General staff of tn,
army on this matter. There is nc
Question as to the views of the Gen,
eral Staff regarding the sending ol
an expedition independent of the
regular army establishment to the
trenches. They are absolutely and
unqualihedly opposed to it. They
regard it as nothing less than men
ace to army morale and discipline
to the proper development of the
vast armies that the American gov
ernment will shortly call into being.
The army has no unkind feelings
toward Col. Roosevelt. He is one
of its best friends, if for no other
reason than that he gave Leonard
Wood a chance to show his real
standing as one of the foremost SOL
diers of the world. His personality
is so dominant, so overwhelming
that it is impossible for any force
to restrain and impose its will upon
him.
But that is not the real point. The
fact is that the creation of "pri-
vately and personally conducted
army, outside of the regular process
es of formation by the government,
is as irregular as a group of gueril-
las in old-time warfare. In no other
nation but the United States-cer-
tainly not in the European powers
to whom the war is a vital thing, a
matter of life and death-would such
suggestion receive even an hours
consideration.
This is not to say that an expedi-
tionary force should not be sent to
France as soon as it can be trained.
This is not to say that Col. Roose-
welt should not go if he desires to do
so. But why should he not go as a
part of the regular army establish
ment? Why is he above offering his
services to the General Staff? That
is the Rooseveltean, swashbuckler
part of it, according to the army
view, which must be swept aside in
the hard light of military logic.

Vivas VaIeasque, MI Jonre!
saw you the other night, my Joffre,
AS you sat. great in your simplicity,
Among many dignitaries.
In all that wild turmoil
OF bands and banners, songs and shouts,
saw only you,
The idol Of your people and ours,
A rugged, kindly demi-god.
From whose visage shone forth
A great sorrow and a glorious hope
l heard your Vivianrs burning words.
Which set me on fire and made be know
How much l really loved
That Great Thing
For which every true man will gladly die;
But my gaze was ever and only on you
When you furtively wiped your eyes
My own were dim;
When your friend received your virile
kiss,
So unconsciously, so spontaneously be-
slowed.
As though the multitude were not,
wept, nor knew I wept
In all that concourse, my Joffre,
felt only your presence
You were to me the image
OF every great ideal that has emerged
From the three years hell wherein
The nations Of earth still grasp and suf-
focate.
oh, that could have borne you aloft,
And spirited you away, and shown you
To the hungry hosts of the misled,
That from your quiet lips
They might hear and truly understand

Joseph Hodges Choate.

In the death of Joseph H. Choate
the nation loses one of its elder
statesmen, one of the finest flowers
of its culture, and one of the most
brilliant diplomats it ever produced.
Even in his prime, Mr.. Choate was
not on the firing line of politics, be-
cause he had supreme contempt
for some of the tricks and strata
gems for winning popular applause,
He preferred to maintain his position
at the bar, at which his primacy was
almost unquestioned. Long before
Elihu Root became a world figure
the name of Choate was known the
length and breadth of the land.
The climax of his career came
when he was appointed Ambassador
to the court of ST. James by McKin-
ley. In that great post he scored an
even greater success than James
Russell Lowell and John Hay did
He was great popular success
with the Britons, and he was real
lion in London. Had political events
shaped themselves differently he un-
doubtedly would have become Secre-
tary of State after his great success
in London.
He was an intimate friend of the
Rt. Hon. A. ], Balfour in London,
and it is a touching and yet appro-
pirate thing that his last public serv.
ice was to welcome the distinguished

be levied on for damages by the per-
son injured or the person having prop

exempt from such levy, and the result
Is that, in case Of damages, an auto

vides for fine of not more than $1,000

degree than the present penalties.
Under the territorial law a man can
not divorce his wife on the ground
that she is an insane person, and con-
sequently there is no way In which her
property may be disposed of as she
