UNAFRAID

There are people VINO seem to have
despaired OF the future. Everything,
they say, is on the down grade. One
man says this war of inexplicable
cruelties and inhuman outraeas has
wrecked his faith Another sees ev-
| cry humane movem eut retarded half
Il century. Another insists that af-
4 ter the war social and industrial revo-
4 lutions await US ready to make every
last thing first and every drst thing
last. Still another declares the pro-
gress of the word has baen set back
a hundred years.
1 It's the way you look ct it. And
the way you look at it depends much
upon your knowledge of the past and
your inner vision of what are the
/ great realities. If this world to you
| is only like " ship drifting without
chart or compass upon shoreless sea
at the mercy of every wind that blows
and tide that runs, then such an eX-
Just now passing means only bat
tered hull, torn cordnge, tattered sails
almost wreck, and generations
will be needad to make it look again
even respectable But if the world
never has rolled on through all the sea
Of time, hit or miss, If in spite Of all
that looks to the contrary there have
been chart and compass abroad, and
some one at the helm who has known
what he was about, if this be true,
and multitudes are confident the facts
warrant the conviction that it is true,
then our ship no matter what the
storm or how long the night has not
lost her course.
Let US rest assured that the moral
forces of the world have been and al
ways will be the all-conauering
: forces. 1t is better world that is
, to be. Many hoary wrong will be
found to have been trampled to its
death on the frightful fields of this
sad war. Many an ancient evil, en-.
/. trenched in human customs and con.
: iventions, social, political, religious

tues that keep them company, vii

never before. 1t is for this BETTE
world that our noblest and braves
3 are gladly laying down their lives
q 1t is ours to stand bahind them no
a only with our service and our money

SHEFFIELD, England, February Is.
were conferred today at the University
of Sheffield on Walter Hines Page. Paul
Cambon and the Marquis Guglielmo
1mperiali, respectively ambassadors of
the United States. France and Italy to
Great Britain. Speaking at the cere-
mony. Amba ssador Page said:
The war already has brought some
great gains to the people of England
and of the United States. Englands
achievement is one unparalleled in his
tory She has found her strength, has
developed her character and has done
miracles of endurance
What have been the wars benefits
| to the United States? Let me mention
only one Before the war our well being
and our personal independence and in
itiative had bred in us great IDEAL
ism. which, however, was spending it
self in objects sometimes worthy. some
times less worthy and sometimes in
mere hobbies. This restless spiritual
force now for the first time has found
a subject worthy of itself, namely, the
! struggle to make the world worthy OF
living in.
"The greatest gain to both England
and the United States is a combined
gain, by reason of their coming to-
Setner. The sea which sera';,te.s a.
becomes smaller as our understanding
of each other becomes closer. Our
striving together to the utmost for the

! inevitable result of making US brothers

SENATE ASKS FACTS IN.
CASE OF CAPT. PEERLESS

Secretary Baker has been asked to
furnish the Senate with information in
regard to the alleged dismissal from
the service of Capt. A. e. Pereless, a
reserve officer connected with the
quartermaster's department. Senator
Thomas interrupted Senator Weeks
during his speech today and announced
that as soon as he had heard of the
officers discharge he had written a
letter to the Secretary. The reply will
be given to the Senate he said.
Conflicting stories are told about the
case of Capt. Pereless. Quartermaster
Reserve Corps. civilian expert who
was called to this city to aid in organ
iZing the conservation and reclama-
ton division of the quartermaster gen.
erals Office.
The record shows that he was hon
orably discharged, but there is nothing
to show whether that action was due
to physical. professional or tenpera-
mental reasons. One story has it that
Capt. Pereless had been disciplined be-
cause of his testimony before the Sem
ate military committee to the effect
that the government paid too high a
rate to the sorting company to which
a contract was awarded on the alleged
accommodation of Charles Eisenman,
vice chairman Of the supplies commit
Adjt. Gen. Mccain said he knew none of
the particulars of the case and referred
nquirers to Gen Goethals, acting quarter
master General. The way TO Gen. Goethals
Office was barred by Capt. Harold C. Whit
man of the Quartermaster. Reserve Corps,
who professed to be able to speak with
authority in the matter. Capt Whitman
said
Capt. Pereless asked to be relieved Of
his duties and his request has been granted
and that is all there is to it,
Capt. Pereless has gone back to his pri-
vate business in New York city.
