Definite orders have been received
at Souther Field for preparation Tor
the closing Of the Supply dcpot,
where government property estimated
at $25, 100000 in value, most air-
planes and equipment, is stored At
the same time the news came that
Souther Field would be retained a.
an airwsly station for the use Of air
service, but without army personnel
stationed here other than caretakers.
In effect, according to Major Law-
renee S. Churchill, commanding Off
Ger, this means that the field will
be retained as landing station and
little else.
Orders have been received to pre-
pare the property now stored in the
depot, small part Of it for shipment
to other air service stations and the
most of it for sale, The orders state
that it is to be disposed Of between
now and June 90, next, which leads
to the conclusion that this is the date
set for the closing Of the camp. June
80 is the end of the government fis-
cal year. All officers and men will
be retained for the present, as they
will be required to put the materials
in the depot in shape to comply with
the orders for its disposition.
The civilian employees Of the camp
have all been informed Of the coming
closing Of the depot and Informed
that efforts will be made to place
elsewhere all working under the civil
service.
Most Of the property in storage
consists Of airplanes of types now
obsolete. Souther has been an IN.

BY ROY GIBBONS

CHICAGO, Feb. 30" Loneliness
is a terrible thing. 1t shocks the
finer sensibilities Of man, lowers the
ebb Of his morale, and by reason of
its paralyzing influence, tends to
make of him an unsociable animal,
neither understanding others, nor un-
derstanding himself"
In that statement Paul p Harris,
an attorney here, as founder of a
tiny nucleus group of "Three kin
dred lights" II years ago, which to-
day has developed into the Interna-
tional Association of Rotary clubs,
suns up his reasons for establishing
the order.
Harris, long and LEAN of body,
is now, as always, battler against
lonIiness and unfriendliness.
One cold winters morning 20 years
ago he rode into Chicago, finishing
the last lleg of round-the-world
journey
In his globe-trotting through Eu-
rope Harris noticed that the lone
traveller always occupied a removed
place in the hotel lobby, the Pullman
car, and that his attitude was one
of longing for a good pal to cheer
him up.
So great was the impression made
Upon him, that Harris, in Chicago,
decided to voice a tangible protest
against the loRliness of big cities.
His idea was to form group of
individuals and share with them the
joys of the small town.
With that purpose in view he gath
cred around him three good friends,
who of an evening would join to-
gether usually in each others office
or some frugal restaurant, there to
abandon business matters entirely
and concern themselves in good
hearted merrymaking.
Because the meetings were held at
different places, ,sthe name Rotary was
giyen the crowd.

THE KRUGER TELEGRAM

Tremendous excitement was
caused in England when the Incl
dent of the Kruger message be-
came known. On Jan. 8, 1896, the
German Emperor telegraphed as
follows to the President Of the
South African Republic:
II congratulate you most sincere
ly on having succeeded, with your
people, without calling on the help
of foreign powers, by opposing your
own force to an armed band which
broke into your country to disturb
the peace, in restoring quiet and
in maintaining the independence of
your country against external at
tack"
On Jan. 6, in conversation with
Sir Frank Lascelles, Baron Won
Marschall protested against the
view Of the English press that it
was an act of hostility against Eng
land and an encroachment on Eng
lish rights for the German Emperor
to congratulate the head of friend
ly state on his victory over an
armed band that had invaded his
land in defiance of international
law, and had been declared to be
outside the pale of the law by the
English Government itself But it
was not recorded that he disavowed
the kaiser's responsibility for it.
