phrasing of this cynicism is: "The

OF the industrious folk who run quot

Because the sentiment is somewhat
sardonic it has been attributed to the
French and credited to Victor Hugo
and Georges Sand. but the attrIbution
has never been satisfactorily fortified
by the citation of chapter and verse.

Germany Has Lost Mexican Trade

Germany Has Lest Mexican Trade.

of the jewelry sold in the Salinas Cruz
district of Mexico are of American
manufacture, according to recent re-
port from Norton F. Brand, United
States consul at Selinas Cruz Prior
to the war all the jewelry and glass.

and Spain. The war has eliminated
Germany entirely from the Mexican
markets and the activity Of American
business men has been so great that
imports from Spain have been mate
rally reduced.
But Mr.. Brand warns American
manufacturers that the goblets and
tumblers they ship to Mexico are too
small. The tropics are thirsty cline
and Mexicans drink deeply. Mr.. Brand
declares If American merchants do not

be driven from the field when Euro
pean supplies are again available aft

business men the necessity of studying
the needs of the Mexican trade.

About "StyIe."

To comprehend the real ugliness of
style" we have only to study out of
date fashion plates. Women them
selves say How could we have made
such guys of ourselvesT The answer
Is, 1t was "the style" and everybody
did 1t. One of human natures idiosyn-
crasies Is sensitiveness. We may not
value the opinion of the person who
smiles or sneers at our dress, may
know ourselves the superior in intel
lect, and position, but we resent or
feel hurt by the tacit criticism. Thus
we pay tribute to convention as estab-
nshed by "style."

Ro.hsrhIthe old saxon roun

Rotherhithe is one of those old Eng
lish towns, Saxon In origin, whose
name lends itself to two chronological
explanations. Red Rose Haven is said
to be the origin of Rotherhithe, from
Red Rose signboard which used to
mark some seaman's tavern centuries
ago. Probably the more accurate yer
sion points to the old Saxon word
"redhra," mariner, and "hith," a
haven, as accounting for the word.
Certainly Rotherhithe had a great
reputation for the quality of her sea-
men; Sir John Leake, the hero of La
Hogue, hailed from the old port on the
Thames. In Pepys' day it was com
monty known as Redriff, and occurs
under that name In the Diary on many
occasions.

The word martyr" has various
meanings. Specifically. it is still con-
fined to those who give their lives for
their religious convictions. The Holy
lnnocents" are notable example of in
voluntary martyrdom. The word mar
tyr should not be applied to a
person who loses mere property, but is
used to persons who have died while
striving to attain their object. The
dictionary gives as the primary Cefini-
ton of ''martyr"-"One who submits
to death rather than forswear his re-
ligion; specif., one of the early Chris
tians who suffered death for their re-
ligion." In general. the word is used
also to denote one who sacrifices him
self for a cause, as a martyr to the
pursuit. Of wealth.

them to rot on the vines. 1t is no I'M

 In making this announcement to- day, Secretary Daniels revealed that the arrest of d third naval officer had been ordered today. The name of this officer was not made public, however, as the naval authorities believed this would interfere with the progress of the general inquiry now being con ducted by order of Mir. Daniels.
 Lieutenant Davis already has been tried and sentenced to three years i'm prisonment, but approval of this yer dict is being withheld, Secretary Dan- iels said tonight, pending the investi- gation of 10 other charges against the officer.
 Mir. Daniels said that at the first trial the court recommended dismissal of Lieutenant Davis from the navy but that he had remanded the case for further consideration because the pun ishment was not severe enough Later the three-year sentence was recom- mended.
 According to information given out at the department today, a prelimin- ary report of department officials who are conducting a searching investiga- tion of the whole matter mentioned specifically a bribe of S1000, paid tc secure a favorable medical report or an applicant who could not pass the naval physical requirements, and an other bribe of $500, alleged to have been paid to secure a desired detail fol another man.
