Lost a True Friend

Tn the death of Dr. R. c. Morefield, who passed away Tuesday, I lost one of my closest and best personal friends. and one that I loved like a brother said w. F. Kelly Than Bob More field no better fellow ever lived. He was loyal, true and generous to a fault. and always ready to go the limit for a friend. Bob had his faults-and who is there that has not-yet they were so largely counterbalanced by his virtues that they were forgotten, and his many friends here and elsewhere sincerely regret his passing away.
 Bob loved nature and the great out of doors, and was never happier than when in the woods hunting and fishing. He was true sportsman, enjoying the chase no matter how difficult the game
 or fish were to snare or hunt. Possibly there was not better angler in the state than Bob, and he is credited with
 being the first man to introduce fly fishing in this district, at which sport he was a real expert.
 He leaves an aged mother and two | children to mourn his loss, and to them his many friends join in extending theii deep and affectionate sympathy

 Geographically St. Helena is pecu~ liarly fitted for an island prison.

In the days of sail ing vessels and before the Suez canal was opened the islanders thrived by providing supplies for passing vessels. With the passing of this market for their meats and vegetables, the islands principal industries waned and the in- habitants dwindled until there are now ouly about $500 persons, as compared with twice that many residents thirty years ago.

EXCHANGE EDITORS

From the New York Tribune -~
 James Keeley. the we'll known Chi cago newspaper man, makes the inter- esting suggestion that an exchange editor system be established between countries He thinks it would make for a strengthening of sympathetic re- lations.
 But would it? Imagine. for example. Marse Henry Watterson in Manchester and allowed to do as he pleased with the readers of the venerable Guardian Conceive of Brotaer Cobb of the World, telling Lloyd George through the Lon- don Tines exactly how to handle the Irish problem. What would happen if Brother Mitchell of the Sun revealed his utmost thoughts concerning the covenant to the subscribers of the Lon. don Daily News? How thick the win- dows of Fleet street are we have no in- formation, but it is a matter of com mon knowledge that London cobble- stones are large.
 The English are an open minded peo- ple but it is doubtful whether, with out preliminary preparation, they could be trusted not to react violently against an intrusion of undiluted Amer ican journalism.

Casselman of Chicago. MT. Warde was celebrating his fiftieth year on the stage. During the 14 weeks run Of the play-wonderfully poetic and moving-Mr. Warde contributed se- ries of reminiscent articles to a local newspaper, and so informing ard charming were they that he is being urged to collect and publish them in book form.
 The esteemed actor is remarkably well preserved. He looks as fresh and vigorous as he did when I last saw him about 20 years ago. MT. warde has, understand, a very busy season ahead of him. He is spending the sum- mer at his home in Sullivan county. New York. writing and making plans for the fall"

 Although Private David Shapks. who came home rom France as a casual q few weeks ago. obtained position as salesmanager at 5000 a year yesterday through the Soldiers and Sailors Re-om- picyment bureau, the problem of restor- ing the fighters to civilian berths is py no means solved, Major Warren Bigelow commanding the service, said yesterday.
 Private David Shanks came in line di- rectly behind large-boned youth whom Major Bigelow told to go back to his home in Montana. and who is going there today. This youth wanted any kind of work so long as it was in New York.
 How much salary do you ?" Ma jor Bigelow asked Shanks after the lat ter had said he was pretty good sales man.
 "oh, 5000 will do," the private said quietly.

The work of the federal board Of Vo- cational education is certainly growing in Birmingham, said P. ". Hodges, who has recently taken charge of the local office" and the number of appli- cants for training is steadily increasing. After the applications are made they are sent to Washington for approval and this is necessarily slow work. In many instances We are forced to seek tenn porary employment for these men while they are awaiting to be sent to school. A number of firms and corporations have been of great assistance to us in giving these men work and we would like to have all of those who can give temporary work to disabled soldiers notify us."

Deutsche Zeitung
 Needlessly Alarmed

A PRETTY howdy-do is raised by 6A the old reliable Deutsche Zei- tung over the report that numbers of American soldiers have sought perr:is- sion to marry German girls. The more or less fair traitors to their country are denounced as reaching "out their hands to the murderers of their brothers"
 To such a valiant defender of Pan Germanism and the holy principles of "kultur" the sight of fraulein mat ing with a "Yank" is doubly painful. It is a blot on the German escutcheon that could not have been left there by the sinking of the Lusitania, the rape of Belgium and other events which contributed to the glory of Ger man arms.
 Bristling with pious indignation at the affront offered to proud and naughty race, the Zeitung says, We shall fight with all our means the in- fusion of the blood of negroes, French men, Indians, Chinese, Yankees and other enemies of kultur."
 The Zeitung puts the doughboy in rather mixed company, but in the heat of the moment probably had vision of all the races seeking alliances with German girls, which is preposterous In fact, the doughboys who "sister- ized' along the Rhine and now wish to commit matrimony constitute an in finitesmal percentage of American sol diers subjected to the wfles of thu Hun maidens-less than POO, accord ing to the latest report.
