New-York tribune., 1918-11-10
By Commander Evangeline Booth


William Booth ffty-three years ago,
and is established to-day in sixty
three countries on this earth.
Its purpose and aim were in the beginning
and are to-day, to alleviate the sufferings
and hardships of human beings, to succor
Che unfortunate, reform the wayward,
strengthen the morals of the weak, replace
the shadows of life with sunshine and to
carry the teachings of q practical and
Straightforward Christianity unto the re-
notesu corners OF the earth.
1t has no creed, knows no denomination
and draws no color racial line.
Because wars entail suffering and priva-
tion, and create hardships and miseries for
those involved in them, the Salvation Army
has followed plain and compelling duty
in entering upon war relief work, and as in
times Of peace has merely needed again, in
accordance with its purposes and aims, the
call of humanity
Far behind the battlelines the inevitable
struggle against the encroachments of pow
erty, suffering, hunger and sickness is in
progress, with ever-ircreasing responsible
ties upon the Salvation Army. We ask
you to bear these facts in mind when it
comes to weighing our work.
Money, which seems to command all nee
essary things, we of course do want, but we
need, too, men and womcn-friends whose
services may be thrown into the balance to
help us in our work overseas and at home.
The Salvation Army, always aligned where
truth and right have a battle to press for
ward, offers its heartfelt thanks for the
splendid support it has received from patri-
OTIS in all stations of life, and it pledges a
continuance Of its conscientious and untir-
ing Christian work, to the end that suffer
ing and woe may in some degree be les
sened, at homo and abroad, by its activi-
ties.

By Woodrow Wilson

AM very much interested to hear OF the
campaign the Salvation Army has un-
dertaken for money to sustain it's war
activities, and want to take the opportunity
to express my admiration FOR the work that
it has done and my sincere hope that it may
be fully sustained.

BOTH VICTIMS OF PREJUDICE
Two Gifted English Literary Women
Whom the World Condemned for
Their Advanced Views.

Two of the most celebrated women
of the eighteenth century were klns-
women who shared the name of Mon
tagu.
Between them they furnish bio
graphical background to the litera-
ture of the whole century, for Lady
Mary Wortley Montagu was born in
1899, and Elizabeth, queen of the
Blue Stockings, died in 1900.
There are many interesting paral-
lels between the two lives. In point
of happiness both were failures. Lady
Mary Wortley and Elizabeth Robin
son were alike celebrated in their
youth for their vivacity and talents,
and for an independence of spirit
that chafed against the conventional
attitude of their century toward the
freedom Of women.
And it was the fate of both to
marry wealthy men, much older than
themselves, who are worthy to rank
as the very finest patterns of eight
eenth-century prudence and prig-
gishness and dullness.

MICE BECOME JUNGLE TERRoRs

Small mice, the kind that get into
pastries and forage about the house
attacked child, less than year old
recently and heads of the animals
have been sent to the state Pasteur
institute for examination, says the
Montgomery Advertiser. If rabies
are found the child will be given
treatment. 1t is not thought that the
mice being examined will show posi-
tive, as one examined failed to de-
velop indications.
The mother, hearing the child cry
rushed to the bed and there saw a
mouse jump from the cot. She went
back to bed and the next morning
found two small holes, evidently in
flicted by the tusks of the mouse, in
the child's head.
The mice were captured and sent
to the state laboratory for examina-
ton.
Nothing was known of the Incl
dent at the laboratory and Informal
ton was given out that the family
did not care to have names used.

METHOD IN HIS "SWEAR-0 OFF"
Hypocrisy in Lush's Promise Appro-
prIateIy Compared With Those
Made by German Government.

The German-bolsheviki peace
wrangles led Morris Hiliquit, the
millionaire socialist, to say in
Cooper Union debate:
"The bolsheviki have found out
what German paciist promises are
worth. When the German militaris-
tic autocracy talks democracy and
peace, it's a good deal like the case
of Lush. That is, it's humbug.

if there was anything he could swear
off from in celebration of the new
year. His wife said:

PLAN ROAD FOR TOURISTS
way That Will Make Famous His
toric Spot More Accessible.

Land Commissioner Bertram G..
Rivenburgh, who returned from an
inspection trip around the Island Of
Hawaii, brings word that work is to
start at once on the new road from
Napoopoo to the famous house of
refuge at Honaunau. Mr.. Riven-
burgh believes that the road will be
completed for tourist travel by next
summer.
This road will make one of Ha-
waits most famous historic spots
easily accessible to tourists. Former
ly the only way of reaching the place
was by horse trail or by boat from
Napoopoo. Neither of these ways is
easy enough to make the famous
heiau much frequented place.
The heiau is probably the largest
and best preserved of any in the ter
ritory. 1t is about 700 feet long,
400 feet wide and has massive walls
% feet thick at the base and from s
to 8 feet in height. The heiau proper
is about 70 by so feet in dimensions,
and is within the larger Enclosure. A
small burial place and heiau COM
bined are erected on the south side
of the city of refuge, This was
known as Hale o Keawe and con-
tanned the bones of ancient kings

IN NAPoLEoN's BARRACKS.

Elmer W, Thyng of Augusta, Me-,
a member of the Mounted Scouts Of
the One Hundred and Third infan-
try, now in France, writes that the
barracks in which he and his COM
rades are now located once housed
many of Napoleon's men.
"The city is a typical, old-style
French fortified place Some of the
buildings were constructed in 1900
so you can get an inkling of how
well they were built, as they are in
very good condition now. All the
houses are made of stone and ce.
ment; in fact, | haven't seen q
wooden house since | have been here
Every house is white with a red tile
roof.
''The poorer people, and on rainy
days the middle class, wear wooden
shoes, and as all the streets are made
of cobble stones you can well imagine
the noise they make"

end IN view. Captain Eads, the
builder of the st. Louis bridge and
the Mississippi jetties, planned a
ship railroad which should carry
ocean steamers across that isthmus
overland. Finally the great British
firm of s. Pearson & Son built an
ordinary railroad across the isthmus
and constructed great harbor works
at each end; all of which are now to
pass from British to Mexican ma
tional ownership.
The chief Importance of the route
is in its nearness to the United
States and the consequent saving
of distance by it between the two
coasts of this country. From New
Orleans to San Francisco by way of
Tehuantepec is 1900 miles less than
by Panama.-Independent, New
York.

HONOR AMERICAN NAVAL MEN
British Authorities Have Had Many
Occasions to Recognize Their Acts
of Skill and Bravery.

Through the British ambassador
distinguished honors have been be-
slowed upon American naval officers
for galIantry in foreign waters and
for services in encounters with Ger
man submarines. Under the laws of
this country an officer is not allowed
to accept decorations from a foreign
government. One of the officers is
Lieut.. Com. Charles A. Blakely, U.
S. n, whom the British commander
in chief recommended for appoint
ment to the distinguished service Or
der. The ship in charge of Lieuten-
ant Commander Blakely was convoy
ing a merchantmen when the peri
scope of submarine was sighted 800
yards away. He Immediately in
creased his speed and headed for the
sub. The German craft submerged,
and after a short while came to the
surface. They next passed close to
the American, which at once dropped
a depth charge, which caused serious
damage if it did not entirely destroy
the submarine. Lieutenant Blake
ly is native of Kentucky and was
appointed to the Naval academy
from that state in 1899.

ANOTHER BIT FROM THE FRONT

Stories from the front never lose
their interest and novelty, though
dealing with the same experiences.
Many of the best of them are in pri-
vate letters which will never go be-
You'd a small circle Of readers. One
from an ambulance driver tells of
stopping at a particularly dangerous
place in the road, where shells were
falling, and calling for a volunteer
assistant. A priest stepped up, ex-
changed his hat for a soldiers he'll
met, and went through the gates of
hell. There is more divinity in such
courage and service than in all the
abstract truth and righteousness that
keeps religiously on the safe side
There ought to be a central bureau
of war letters to which extracts from
them might be sent for editing and
publication. The literature of the
war, already immense, will fill libra
ries during the next half-century.
Nevertheless, much noble material
will remain unused.

JAP PORTS RAPID GROWTH.

The foreign commerce of the port
of Kobe, Japan, has shown a remark
able expansion since the outbreak of
the war. In 1916 its total foreign
commerce increased SO per cent, as
compared with the year Immediately
preceding the war, or from $685.
$4,000 to 1852, 601, 900; and, al
though the latter amount constituted
a record when it was made it bids
fair to be surpassed by about 35 per
cent in 1917. The United States is
both chief customer of and the prin-
cipal seller to this district, the total
volume of trade between the United
States, including insular possessions,
and Kobe having amounted to $751;
100000 in 1916. Of this large sum,
more than $5O,0OO,OOO represented
Japanese purchases from and $780,
100000 Japanese sales to the United
States, While it is true that in 1916
Yokohama outranked Kobe, for the
first seven months of 1917 the for
eign trade of that port amounted to
only $237,922,O 900, contrasted with
Kobe's seven months total of $780,
100000. Prorated for the complete
year this indicates a total of $780,
678,000 in 1917 for Kobe, against
$408,966,000 for Yokohama.
