Undeserved Derision.

No more undeserved derisive nick
name was ever visited upon an organi-
cation than that of the Fourteenth
Hussars, commanded by Colonel Ham
Ilton. Several companies of it were
once compelled to retreat before an
overwhelming force and the whole
regiment was branded as "Hamilton's
Runaways:" Here was a regiment
which was one of the bravest ever In
the service of Great Britain; 1t had
left IFS dead on the battlefields in all
parts of the world; it had a brilliant
record for valor and yet was it known
even to its comrades in arms by an in
sulting epithet.

Life,s Treasure Stores.

Success and cOntentment begin with
the realization that life represents a
valuable treasure. We may liken life
to a field. At first the owner values
it for wild berries; then, ceasing to
be a wanderer, he becomes an agri-
culturist, and values it for its rich har-
vest: grown wiser still, he discovers
coal; amazed at the treasure, he digs
and finds silver and gold; astounded,
he goes deeper, and 10! the seam is
full of diamonds. And every life holds
all the strata of underlying and I'M
suspected stores of treasures.-Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills.

Senses of Elephant.

The elephant is accredited with nav
ing the keenest sense of hearing or
any animal. His sense of scent is
nearly as remarkable. Young and in
experienced elephants can detect the
passing of II man over trail hours
afterward. The elephant is true
Oriental regarding domesticity. Bulls
do not habitually go in company with
the COWS, old bulls especially holding
themselves aloof and exclusive from
the female of the species.

Firm Observes 18th Ami

The seventy-fifth anniversary of ths
establishment of the firm of ". & J.
Sloane, one Of New York's Oldest mer.
camille houses, was celebrated yester.
day IN the building now occupied by
the concern, at Forty-seventh Stree,

The house of w. ]. Sloane was
founded opposite the City Hall in 1913
on capital of $4,000 by William
Sloane. who came to this country from
Scotland in 1884. Nine years later
John Sloane. brother Of the owner,
was admitted to partnership and the
firm name of W. e. j Sloane adopted.
In 1855, due to the growth of the re-
tail and wholesale departments and the
trend of the business uptown, the con
Germ moved TO Sol Broadway. Six
years later the store was moved still
further north. to 59l Broadway. and
remained there until 1882, when the
building at Broadway and Nineteenth

Arthur Woods Flies
Higher Than Mitchell

When Major John Purroy Mitchell,
New York's former Mayor, meets Ar
thur Woods, his Police Commissioner,
the Mayor will be the first to salute
from now on. His recent subordinate
is now his superior officer.
Mr.. Woods has been commissioned a
lieutenant colonel in the aviation sec
ton Of the Signal Corps, it was an
nounced in dispatches from Washing
ton last night. He has accepted the
appointment and expects to report for
work in Washington tomorrow or
Tuesday,
The former Commissioner has been
with the Bureau of Public Informal
ton, and it was understood that he
was to direct American propaganda in
foreign countries. He said last night
that General Squier, chief signal Of
hcer of the army, had asked him to
join the Signal Corps some time ago.
but that he had made previous ar
engagements with George Cree, chair
man of the Bureau Of Public Informa-
ton.
Several efforts were made to have
Mr.. Woods transferred, and on Friday
night authority was received to per-
nit him to resign. 1t is understood
that General Squier's eagerness to
have him in the Signal Corps is due in
large part to his administrative record
as Police Commissioner of New York
City.
Lieutenant Colonel Woods is one of
the few civilians to receive an appoint
ment to the army with a rank higher
than major. When Mayor Mitchell at
the end of his term, applied for a com
mission he was made a major in the
aviation section. and is now in Cali
tornia learning to fly.

II would not be worthy OF position

Of international law at Columbia Uni
versity to his critics in the faculty who
had made repeated objections to his
frequent opinions on international law
in the public press. Recognized as a
leading authority on that vital ques-
ton, Professor Stowells views have
been sought by newspapers.
At his home yesterday he consistent
~ refused to make any comment on his
resignation, until q brief statement by
Nicholas Murray Butler that the moot
ed question Of academic freedom was
in no wise involved was shown to him.
Professor Stowell declined to mention
specifically his critics in the faculty
Of Columbia. His statement, issued
late yesterday, follows:

energy that might &c out in the great
task of beating Germany, l had not
