Men discharged from the army far away
from their homes may pay their way home and
then put in claim for ~ cents mile, which is
just one-half of the actual fare. This is the
ruling of the high and mighty comptroller of
the Treasury who holds that Uncle Sam is
through with the soldier as soon as he gets
his discharge paper. Something ought to be
done to break through the barrier of red tape
raised in Washington and convince its defend
ers that simple Justice demands that the sol
dier be returned to the home from which the
draft took him, and that all his expenses be
paid.

Empress Eugene Il o..

special courier will journey to
Marlborough hill TODAY BEARING
greetings from King George and
Queen Mary to the former Empress
Eugene, on the occasion of the lat,
ter's ninety-third birthday. The for.
mer empress, who has been spoken
or by recent writers az. "the most
wonderful woman of her age" as
well as "the most tragic figure In
modern history" is reported to be in
good health for one of her years,
Those who have been privileged to
meet Eugene during the past year
declare that while physically she is
suffering from the infirmities OF her
great age, mentally she appears to
be as keen as In the days of long
ago when she played a stellar role
in the affairs OF France and of Eu-
rope.
Whenever the weather permits
Eugene takes a daily walk in the
woods and park surrounding her
home. Marlborough hill, although
situated within sight of the great
military camp at Aldershot. is one
OF the quietest places in England,
and the little community of exiles
which surrounds the former empress
lives in quiet seclusion among a for
est of pines. Visitors to the place
are few in number, for of late years
the life of Eugene has become one
OF almost absolute seclusion.
In the grounds at Farnborough are
the tombs of Eugenie's husband, Ma
poleon III, and her son, the Prince
Imperial, who met death while fight
ing with the British troops in the
Zulu war, the bodies having been
transferred from Chislehurst, where
Napoleon and Eugene first took up
their residence when forced to flee
from France to England
The Benedictines, who look after
the spiritual need of the household
and guard the tombs, have a church
and priory at Marlborough, built by
Eugenia at total cost of more than
half million dollars. On either side
Of the high altar of the church are
granite sarcophagi containing the re-
mains of Napoleon III, and the
Prince Imperial. When in the course
Of time the former empress comes
to die she will be inferred in an
arcosolium which has already been
built into the wall of the church.

CONFUSION OF TONGUES AT PARIS.

The task OF remaking the world is not going
ahead as rapidly or as smoothly as some might
wish. Even with the affairs of man in fluid
state, political boundaries thrown down. eco
nomic and social relations removed from their
foundations, and the minds of people plastic
and in receptive mood. the job of molding
human destiny to the new forms has presented
obstacles not easily overcome, and which may
in some degree defeat the effort of the work
men who are trying to fashion mundane things
after more desirable model
Some Of this is due to the unwillingness of
a few to abandon those ways which appear
TO have served their purpose. These hesitate
when asked to take step along way they
can not plainly discover. Most of it comes
from an ineradicablc element Of human nature,
selhshness. Small and weak nations have at
tended the peace conference with maximum
program, and decline to be content with less
than their full demands. To reconcile these is
not easy, for they overlap too greatly OBJ
viously it is the part of the strong nations to
limit concessions to the clamorous claimants,
and set marks between the contending groups
What has been done so far has not produced
the concord looked for Italy sees with aston
ishment its claim ON Fiume set aside, while
Japan is granted Kiao Chau and the Shantung
peninsula; China must feel that its rights have
been Disseminated against, while those of
Jugoslavia have been accorded undue atten-
ton. Belgium resents determination to curtail
it's demand for indemnity, feeling that Germany
is being too tenderly dealt with and that others
of the Allies are being favored. Revived Po-
land and Bohemia have separate grievances, and
generally dissatisfaction is exhibited by the
smaller nations.
Though the world be exhausted to point
where war on the stupendous scale of the last
four years must be discontinued, combat in
smaller way may be carried on. Central Europe
affords ample proof of this. The League of
Nations will start if at all, with ample work
ahead, for the Peace conference is leaving too
many international disputes unquieted

Grover CIeveland's Son.

Richard Folsom Cleveland, who,
by vote of the student body at
Princeton, is the one who has done
most to uphold the name and fame
Of the university during the past
year, is son of Grover Cleveland,
twice president of the United States.
When the United States entered the
war young Cleveland enlisted as a
private in the marine corps. He did
not seek. by use of any pulp or
by trading on his fathers fame, to
become an officer or to put himself
in line for an officers position. He
is a robust specimen of the Ameri-
can school boy and college athlete.
In addition to his fine record in in
tercollegiate athletics he has shown
ability as speaker and writer in
Princeton academic competitions, and
he has allied himself in a promi-
nent way with the forces in the uni
versity that are working against
snobbishness and group exclusive
ness.

people in certain sections of Cam

they have been unique, distinct

since the days of Luther. Their first
appearance in America was In 1888,
when a colony came from Holland at
the invitation of William Penn and
settled at Germantown, Pa. The col

delicate one by the inclination of
the Italian people to blame Presi-

realize her territorial aspirations in
the peace conference, has been the
American diplomatic representative
in Rome since 1913. 1t was as
scholar and writer that Mr. Page
was widely known when he laid
aside his pen and entered the dip
lomatic service at the invitation Of
President Wilson. He comes of an
old Virginia family and received his
education at Washington and Lee
university. He published his first
novel in 1887 and since that time
many other novels, a book or two
of poems and several historical
works have come from his pen. For
nearly 20 years, while pursuing his
