Kaiser, Too, Will Understand.

At this point the speaker was inter-
rupted by cries of Hello. Bill" and
departed from the text of his speech to
declare:
II don't think he understands it. But
1 think he will some time"
Declaring that Gen. Grant said. LET
US have peace" only after Lee had sur
rendered. Mr.. Gompers asserted that aft
er kaiserism surrenders then we, too, will
have peace"
There can be no peace" he continued,
while there is Teuton on the soil of
France. There must be no peace until
they are driven from outraged Belgium"
The president of the American Fedora

CHICAGO, September 15.-Treason to
America in the war was defined by
Elihu Root and labor was pledged by
Samuel Gompers to fight until world
terrorism had been overthrown at a
patriotic rally held here last night by
the National Security League for the
announced purpose of vindicating Chi
cago of alleged intimations of unpatri-
otism.
The men who are speaking and
writing and printing arguments against
the war and against everything being
done to carry on the war are rendering
more effective service to Germany than
they ever could render in the field with
arms in their hands," declared the for
mer Secretary of State, amid cheers.
1T is impossible to resist the conclu-
sion that the greater part of them are
at heart traitors to the United States.
LAS time goes on and the character
of these acts becomes more and more
clearly manifest all who continue to
associate with them must come under
the same condemnation. There are
some who doubtless do not understand
what this struggle really is"

DOCTORS, SONS

At last a rival 70 the farmer and the
minister in the role of famous father
hood-or fatherhood of the famous-is
brought forward. The changes have
been rung on the parentage of men like
the two chief candidates for the presi-
dency and of other leaders. But it re-
manned for William Browning, writing
In the Medical Record, to contend that
among eminent pecsanages a large
number were sons of physicians.
There is food for thought in this, and
as the author gravely prophesies, ,''the
more embryotic science of history NAV
yet find activators" He illustrates his
theory by list of the men about Lin
coin in the Civil war times. The vice
president, secretary of state, secretary
of war, speaker of the house and the
organizer of the union forces-McClel-
lan-were all doctors sons. In the
same group we find David Davis, the
close friend and adviser of Lincoln;
John Hay, his private secretary;
Stephen A. Douglas, his leading oppo-
nent in the contests before the war.
Exactly what part in the preparation
of these leaders for the high station
their fathers may have taken we are
not informed. But a good case might
be made out of clear thinking related
to prompt action and of unselfish de-
votion to the needs of the public, says
New York Evening Sun. It may be
said that the old-fashioned family ply
stefan was away from home a good
deal, but certainly his character might
well make deeper impression or the
children than the repeated precepts Of
man of another type.

Some of the young men who have
tried to enlist in the United States
army have been rejected because they
have hammer toes. This is a condition
of the foot in which one toe rides upon
the back of another, attesting that at
some time in his life the young man
has worn shoes not affording free play
to the fore part of his foot in walking.
Col. Robert Jones % the British army,
who has made a study of shoes, adj
vances the opinion that while the heel
should be comfortably snug, the toes
should be perfectly free. He denounces
the slightest pointedness in a shoe as
tending to bunion formation and fiat
foot and other abnOrmalities. He de-
clares that the inside sole of a shoe
should be as broad as the foot with the
weight of the body on it, and that the
two inner sides of a shoe should be
parallel up to the end of the big toe.
This is a matter of Importance to ci-
villains as well as to soldiers. Who
wants to risk having deformed feet?

VOLTS comet, which appeared with

about the time when the United States
broke off diplomatic relations with
Germany, is cavorting through space
and attracting notice from astrono-
mers. But no comet can greatly inn
press the mass of humanity unless it
becomes a spectacular object to the
naked eye. The dimness of Halley's
