Glen Ellen, Cal, Aug. 5, 1916.
Lieutenant James d. Wilson,

Minneapolis, MINI.
Dear Mr.. Wilson: In reply to
yours of June %, 1916: | have
Just returned from Hawaii last
night, hence you will understand
my delay in replying.
In reply to your inquiry | Will
state that / never wrote a line OF
this Good Soldier" canard. For
years and years / have been de-
nying the authorship of it, in
England, in the United States.
everywhere, by personal letter,
by interview, by telegraph and
by cable. There is scarcely
mail that comes to me which
does not bring me a letter like
yours, wanting to know whether
or not wrote the canard. AS
far as / can trace the history
of this, it was originally pub
Hshed and circulated in Ger
many, and later on was brought
over to the United States, trans
lated and circulated with my
name attached. And from there
it has spread over the rest OF
the world All you have to do
is to read my books and news
paper work to find that for. the
newspapers l have done only war
correspondence and prize fight
ing and that in my books l am
hailed by the critics as the father
of red blood fiction.
My opinion is that it behooVes
a country or nation like the
United States to maintain a rea-
sonable preparedness for defense
against any country or nation
that at any time may go out
upon the way of war to carve
earth space for itself out of
weaker and unprepared nations
The dressed fleas which you
gave Mrs. London in Vera Cruz
are source Of wonder and
amusement to our friends to
whom we show them.
Remember me to Captain
Beach and DIR. Dessez when you
see them.
Sincerely yours,
JACK LONDON.

It seems homogeneous and out of harmony
with the exalted position occupied by COVER
nor that he take active part in politics to the
extent of presiding over the deliberations OF a
state political convention even that he should
act as delegate from his district This Is the
view held by Governor Whitman, of New York,
who has announced that he viii not attend the
republican state convention He feels that 1t
would be improper for him to do that and 50
his alternate will be seated. This is welcome
divergence from a custom sometimes followed
in other states and is commended to the con
sideration Of executives.

CHEMISTS NOT DEsTRUcTIoN1srs.

Chemistry has done major part during the
war in devising agents of wholesale destruction;
in fact a writer has dubbed them the great
destructionsts of science. But If chemistry
devised the gas bomb, it also devised the gas
mask If it has kept busy at improving steel
for use in making weapons, it is now prepared
to offer to production for peaceful uses sub
stitute for steel that presents the promise OF
great utility. Out of alloys of metals easily OBJ
tanned the chemists have evolved process by
which metal, hard, non-rusting and malleable,
to equal the best steel is manufactured
This is constructive work. The chemists have
created dye industry for this nation; they
have shown the means by which we can produce
our own drugs; they hove processes ready
proven to enable US to obtain from our own
natural resources many materials we have had
to import. When we have come through the
war, we shall hope that the need of destruc-
tionists will be gone. Then we shall take stock
and find the chemists of the war period have
been taking long strides toward making peace
better state than ever it was before.

Congress did the proper thing in promptly
returning Colonel Roosevelt's Nobel prize
money to him, that he may devote it to war re-
lief work. The money was to be used in the
foundation of an industrial peace enterprise,
but the form and motive of the gift has never
been stated or put into shape for utility by con-
gress. Now we have on our hands war which
is the only way to industrial peace or any sort
of righteous peace This money will serve In
general way the end to which Colonel Roose-
Welt desired it to be directed if it become
part of the contributions made to help in re-
pairing the ravages of this war for peace.

othy Dalton in "The Price Mark" is
featured as one of the gay models.
The photoplay itself is intensely dra-

tunes of il young girl named Paula
Lee, who comes from an Ohio town.
She tries to win her way in New York,
but finally has to accept a position
as an artists model. How she finds
