first official entries of the treason N
Benedict Arnold, In addition 10 the
records of the trial Of Major Andre as
British spy, has recently been obtain

Society.
The book, which was kept by Col.
Alexander Scammell, adjutant gener-
o. OF Washington's army after announ-
cling the discovery of the plot, goes on
to congratulate the soldiers Of the
Continental army that this is the first
case Of treason In the American forces.
though many were expected, due to
the partisan nature of the struggle.
The providentlal discovery Of the crime
also is argued rs proof that the "Lib-
critics of America are the object Of Dl-
vino protection"
Speaking Of the findings vf the
board OF officers that tried Andre, the
Journal relates that the major was ap-
pretended while on his way TO New
York In disguised habit, and while
in possession Of paper containing h.
telligence for the enemy. The findings
closed with the recojmmendation to
General Washington that Major Andre

HOPE FOR INTELLECTrAIs

At last the intellectuals are coming
into their own. The latest Paris hous.
ing scheme, originally intended only to
provide suitable homes for the laboring
classes, has been broadened to include
the erection of moderately priced dwell
ings for professional people. Teachers.
artists, doctors, writer's, musicians. sci
entists and people of kindred occupa-
tions will benefit.
BY their talents and efforts these
classes make great contribution to the
life and progress of any nation. In al
most every country their financial recon-
pense is inadequate and their special
needs are ignored. They are the people
to whom the world most truly owes a
living and who have the most difficulty
IN collecting something on account.
1t is encouraging to see one need of
this great group recognized, in one city.
Perhaps the gospel will spread not only
IN the provision of decent homes within
the range of their incomes, but even in
the provision of decent incomes with
which to maintain the homes.

My cuzzin Artie stayed at our house
all mite last mite, and after a vile we
went to bed on account of having to, and
we laid there tawking and argewing and
we started to have a debate on which
came ferst. the chicken or the egg, me
saying. Wv certeny eggs came ferst.
Eggs is the most important. If all the
CHICKENS suddinly got the chickin pox and
died, there wouldent be eny more fresh
eggs after about > days but if there was
law passed suddinly agenst eggs we'd
still have fresh CHICKENS, wouldn't we =?

Maybe we would, but wat good would
they be if they wasent allowed to lay
eggs? Artie sed. \ chickin that don't
lay eggs mite as well go somewhere and
retire, he sed. Chickins is the most i'm
portant because wenever you see a
chickin you can ixpect a egg eny min
nit. but you see thousands of eggs with
out even thinking of chickens and that
proves it takes CHICKENS to make eggs
but most eggs never made chickin and
never will.
Well that's all rite but a chickin can
keep on making eggs and not think eny-
thing about it, but look at the sacrifice
a egg makes wen it makes a ehickin.
Certeny eggs is the most important, /

Miss Winifred Holt, whose marriage
to Rufus Graves AIather takes place to-
day in New York, is widely known for
her practical efforts to educate and inn
prove the condition of the blind. She was
the founder of the New York Association
for the Blind, and through her efforts
branches have been opened in numerous
cities. In recent years she has been
instrumental in establishing workshops
and recreation centers for the sightlesS
in large cities on both sides of the Allan
tic. The first of these institutions.
known as American Lighthouse No. 1,
was opened in New York city in 1913 by
President Taft. Aside from her philan-
thropic labors, Miss Holt enjoys wide
reputation as a sculptor, She studied
her art under some of the most fam
Gus masters of America and Eu.-
rope. and busts, bas-relief and
other specimens of her owrk have
been exhibited at home and abroad
She has written numerous papers on
work for the blind and is the author of

ARMS VS.. REASON.

They say we have military budget
of 5,000,00O,000 francs" says Clemen-
ceau- L do not know whether that fig
ure is correct or exaggerated. but l do
know that 1 have seen two German in
vasions and that I do not want to try
third, and I eagerly wish our friends
over there Tin America) to understand
this feeling"
Americans think they do understand
the feeling. But possibly Americans,
being at a distance and less directly in
iuenced by fear and prejudice, under
stand little better than Clemenceau
and his fellow countrymen that any
thing in the nature of swashbuckling or
excessive armament or quest of revenge
is the very best way to invite another in
vasion when Germany shall have recov-
cred hers strength.
1t Is not a question of what France
deserves. Americans agree that she de-
serves all she can possibly get out of
Germany, and far more. But it is a
question of the value of calm reason and
Cancellation as an international policy.
Americans are inclined to think that
there is more protection in that than in
big armies.

SMALL BANK DEPOSITS

1t is sound advice that Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon has been giving t.
banks on the subject of small deposits
1t IS mistake, he says, for banking in
stitutions to refuse to accept accounts OF
less than 500, as many do, particularly
in the larger cities.
The secretary speaks from experience.
The problem was threshed out in his
own bank in Pittsburgh 1t was proved
that the small accounts were desirable.
because they cost little to handle over
and above the inevitable overhead ex-
pense, and because while they showed
no profit in themselves, many of them
grew into large and profitable accounts.
The matter is worth considering. too.
from the other side Many a potential
depositor refrains from opening check
ing or savings account because he thinks
it isn't worth while with the little
money he has available at the time. 1t
is very. much worth while to start an
account, however humbly, because of
what it may grow into when the bank
ing habit is formed.
