SIR GEORGE CAVE

Sir George Cave, who - was given
the post of Secretary of State for
the Home Department. IN the Lloyd
George cabinet, was born in London
sixty lone years ago today. At the
outbreak of the war he held the ap-
pointment of Attorney General to the
Prince of Wales, anad was chiefly
distinguished as a lawyer OF unusual
ability, the author of several legal
work, and a stahnch Tory in politics,
representing the Kingston division of
Surrey in the House of Commons. In
1915 he entered the Asquith coalition
government as Solicitor General, a
very profitable post, since the fees
amount to a large sum, in addition
| to the salary of $4,000. In his
transfer to the post Of Home Secre-
tary,~ succeeding Herbert Samuel, Sir
Georges income is greatly reduced
and his responsibilities vastly in
| creased.
The job of Home Secretary in
such times as these is no sinecure

WASHINGTON HONORED
IN MANY LANDS

Not alone in the United States, bu.
in many other lands. there will be
celebrations today Of the birthday of
George Washington. The leaders of
the French republic have long made
IL a practice to join with the Ameri-
cans In Paris in honoring the memory
OF the father. OF the American repub-
lie The same happy custom Is fol-
lowed in the Latin-American repub-
lies, where the people realize that
their own liberties were inspired by
the example Of Washington and his
great associates. In Belgium a
movement for making Washington's
birthday holiday, has gained almost
unanimous popular support, and,
when the little country Is freed of the
invader. it ia practically certain that
the twenty second OF February will
become one Of the patriotic fetes Of
King Albert's land.
In England the memory of Wash
ington has long been revered as one
of the noblest, of that type of men OF
English blood 'who never will be
slaves" and who, for centuries, have
opposed tyranny and fought despot-
ism. The Father of His Country

John Washington who was knighted

THE HIGH PRIEST
OF PESSIMISM

Wherefore, in provision Of my
death, I acknowledge that on account
of it's infinite stupidity I loathe the
German nation, and that blush to
belong thereto
In a single sentence, containing the
compressed venom of many other de-
nunciations of his countrymen, Ar
thur Schopenhauer thus expressed his
opinion of Teutons. No other Ger
man philosopher has made so tre-
mendous an impression upon the
thinking world, and no other has
been so widely read, as this high

works gained that general apprecia-
ton which he had hoped would be
immediate, but in his last years he
was honored as the greatest philoso-
PIAC1 ever pIOUuCeu by G0rmdny.
While his philosophy painted this
world Of men as bad, hopelesslys bad

ton, Schopenhauer wrote in a style
remarkably for its clarity. In doing
this he was alone among German phi
losophers, and this may have account
ed in part for his popularity. Des.
p1sing his own countrymen, he had
as little to do with them as possible
and associated in his latter years
principally with Englishmen He
wrote his memoranda and notes in

BOY SCOUTS IN WAR

Although England is the birthplace
Of the Boy Scout movement. nearly
every nation now has it's multitudes Of
youthful Scouts and more than
100000 are enrolled in the United
States. In Great Britain, France and
other warning countries the young
sters of this organization have DEM
onstrated the utility Of their training
by giving effective aid in assisting the
police, guarding bridges, aqueducts
and railways, aiding the coast guard,
and helping to care for the i'll and the
wounded. England may we'll thank
the day when Gen. Baden-Powell in
lated the Boy Scout movement in that
country. 1t was in 1908 that the
hero Of Mafeking launched the move
ment which was destined to spread
like wildfire to the European con-
tinent and to Canada, the United
States, and the South American re-
publics. Ernest Thompson Seton,
the author and artist, shares with
Gen. Baden-Powell the honor of hav-
ing originated this worldwide society
Of boys.

was born just sixty years ago today,
the son of a clergyman. His career
is such as to make a strong appeal
to d-blooded youth, for it has been
replete with adventure and deeds of
daring. Entering the army at nine
teen, his first active service was in
India. He took part in the Zulu
| land operations ins 1888, and in 1896
he was ordered to South Africa
where he was destined to win wide
