Five Great Men In History.

In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years of the republic
five men stand out-George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas JEFF
ferson, Alexander Hamilton and John
Marshall, says James Bryce in the
Youths Companion. Whether or not
the last four of them were great men
In the full sense of the word Is ques-
ton on which people were not agreed
In the lifetime of those four and are
not agreed today; but everyone felt
then as everyone feels now that Wash
ington was great. He Is world fig.
ure. In mere intellectual power he was
not superior to the other four. He had
less originality and less wide range
of capacity than Franklin, less versa
tile activity of mind than Jefferson,
less brilliant gifts for constructive pol
icy and the exposition thereof than
Hamilton, less logical grasp and pene-
tration of thought than Marshall but
he rose superior to them all In GER
tain massive strength of character, In
stately dignity, in a calm firmness of
purpose that neither the smiles nor the
frowns of fortune could divert from
the course his judgment had approved
So his primacy was undisputed then
and has remained undisputed ever
since.

HERMIT SCULPTOR is FOUND
Spends Time Modelling Little Master
Pieces Which He Promptly De-
stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered Mt Cape
Scott, one of the most solitary points
in Vancouver island, by the chief ep-
gineer of the public works department
of British Columbia, sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas
terpieces from Jumps of clay and then
destroying them. relates an exchange.
He Is A. II. Whittier, and he calls
himself "prospector." Living entire
ly alone, he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely Investigations
Of mineral claims I'm his neighborhood.
His sculptor's tools are of the simplest
kind. and II is his habit to work with
the snme piece Of clay, which weighs
scarcely five pounds, but with that he
has modelled scores of objects.
The government engineer found him
just as he had completed bust Of the
martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell.
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work in order that he might use the
clay for a miniature statue of his son,
who was recently killed. He was, how
ever, persuaded to part with the bust,
which is to be auctioned In aid of the
Red Cross funds.

Submarine improvements

Sipce April German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render 1t more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only cOnserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscOpes give
further assistance to the submarine In
concealing its position. A mixture of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
In the engines, and the exhaust Is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave n
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable 1t to hear and judge the size of
ships at q considerable distance.-Ex-

Japan Is EXPORTING Pulp.

japanese imports Of pulp have en-
countered obstacles, but, according to
the Japan Chronicle, 1t Is believed that
the stocks held by paper manufacture
ers generally are sufficient to last un'
til the end of this year, while the do
nestle manufacture of pulp, stimulated
by import difficulties, has appreciably
developed. AS result, efforts are
now being made by some merchants
to export homemade pulp.
The Chronicle states that this Is
not to be the disadvantage of those
paper manufacturers who are suffer
Ing from the scarcity Of imported pulp
for what they essentially want 1t not
yet produclble In this country. 1t finds
that there is no excessive domestic
pulp that Is exported.

CAN CHINA Be INDEPENDENTLY
Entrance Into Great World War 10
Viewed From Different Angles
by Editors.

Much division of opinion exists In;
Japan regarding China's declarations
of war against Germany. says the,
East and West News. japan took the
final step for two reasons: First, the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, and, second,
deep-founded belief in the necessity
for solidarity of the far eastern pow
posed to China's participation in the
worlds war. 1t says: "China decided
to take the step, on the arrival of
Vice-President Feng Kuo-chang ut Pc
kin. Nothing could be more regret
table than for an Independent nation
to be forced by others to do anything
1t doesn't want to do. The national
existence of any nation that yields to
coercion or undue persuasion is i'm
periled! Some people regarded Japan's
declaration of war, against Germany
merely from TIE viewpoint of the alli-
ance with England, but we favored
Japan's dominance in this part of the
Pacific"
The editor of the Asahi wants to
know what Feng Kuo-chang meant
when he favored a declaration of war
by China against Germany, but OBJ
jected strenuously to joining the en-
tente powers. "Does he mean that,
like the United States, China's declara-
ton of war shall be separate act"
asks the Asahi. '"The grave fact Is
that her present course was forced
upon her. Whether she joins the en-
tente or not matters little for the
present. The serious question is, can
China be independent from now on
ward?"
