Visibility Of Planets.

As a general thing. the planets arc
much less visible in daylight than
stars. The reason for this is that the
telescope diminishes the brightness of
the planets disk as well as Of the sky
and. therefore. does not heighten the
contrast as In the case Of the star.
Two Of the planets. however. Venus
and Mercury. are better observed In
daylight than In darkness. Saturn. or
the other Land. can hardly be seen
even through a hye-inch telescope, ex
eept at night.

WILSON BELIEVES
IN j. s. GERMANS
President Declares He is Will
ing to Stake Life on Loyalty
of TeutonS in America.

WASHINGTON, June Only the
intinates of Pres't Wilson realize
how deep-rooted and enthusiastic are
his belief and confidence in the pa
triotism of the so-called German
Americans Of this country. To
friends at the white house he has
frequently said: II would stake my
life on the loyalty OF the Americans
of this nation who are OF German
and Austrian descent"
But a week ago when the gladness
of a spring day enticed himself and
Mrs. Wilson to take a stroll through
the shipping district of Washington,
the president was literally stalking
his life on the Americanism OF
America.
The only guard that the president
and the First Lady of the Land"
had as they leisurely walked along
at some shop window display. were
two secret service officers. who Wig
ilantly but unobtrusively watched
every movement of the distinguished
couple, and two other plain clothes"
men who drifted warily in and
among the wake of the sightseers
who followed the president, when
they realized that the chief execu-
tive of the nation was among them
Greeted Pleasantly.
Nothing but pleasant mods and re-
spectful salutations greeted the pres
ident as he moved along. At the
more crowded corners hand clapping
occasionally occurred. Not a single
note Of hostility or resentment was
expressed by either alien or German
sympathiZers TO mar the pleasure of
the presidential outing.
And yet, as the secret service
pointed out, il would have been a
thing Of no difficulty for a subject
Of the kaiser or a fanatic enemy of
the allies TO have attacked the pres
ident in a spirit Of revenge or mis-
placed and misinterpreted love of
his fatherland.
1t is known that the secret service
corps that surround the president
has protested in vain at the great
risk TO his life that the president in

days. He puts aside with a tolerant
smile the argument that his life is
too valuable to the nation. espec-
tally at this time, to be hazarded
lightly.
Would Stake Life.
And when it is urged that ma
tional resentments are at fever
heat; that ties OF adoption and her
itage of ancestry are struggling for
the mastery, and that If the spirit
Of the empire should overcome the
love OF democracy in a German Of
America, the life Of the president
might be sacrificed in a burst of
Teutonic fanaticism, the president
invariably and calmly replies:
"I am willing TO stake my life on
the loyalty Of the Americans Of this
nation of German and Austrian de-
scent"

Victor Herbert's melodic genius. And
II is interesting to know that the six
numbers now presented among the list

made under the personal direction OF
Victor Herbert himself.
1t is fitting that John Mccormack
should sing for Victor audiences two
of the Eileen favorites, and he is
equally at home in the remarkable love
song Eileen Alanna, Ashore" which
he sings with consummate art, and

expends all his warm sympathy for the
land of his birth. AS Mccormack has

The original Eileen company pre-
