A service in commemoration of the
signing of the Magma Charta was held
in the Cathedral of st. John the Divine
yesterday afternoon. A stone from the
high altar of the Abbey of Bury St.
Edmunds. on which the Great Charter
was laid after 1t had been signed. was
Incorporated into the structure of the
Cathedral and unveiled The stone is
placed near the high altar.
Howard c. Robbins. Dean of the Ca
thedral. presided. George w. Wicker
sham then spoke upon the historic and
legal significance of the occasion and
traced the political events in England
which led up to the signing of the Char
ter at Runnymede on June Is. 1915. and
he said:
Consciously or unconsciously. the
trainers of the Great Charter embodied
In 1t a declaration of the fundamental
principles Of liberty. In language which
no succeeding age has improved upon
and which to-day is enshrined in the
Constitution Of the United States and in
those of almost every American State.
To-day the charter is printed In the
legislative handboolxs of our New York
Legislatures and as preface to the COM
piled statutes Of many of the States. 1t
is true that in America 1t has been
interpreted as a formulation of the vital
principles of individual liberty against
power by whomsoever possessed; of the
right of the minorities to protection
against maJorities; of the sacredness OF
human liberty in the broad sense OF the
right TO life property and the pursuit OF
happiness.
LET us be thankful for the vision OF
liberty which the men of 1915 possessed
and rejoice In the stable institutions or
our own day by means OF which the
aspirations Of Runnymede have become
the accepted liberties of the free Eng
lish-speaking commonwealth OF the
twentieth century"

There is a clearing in the forests heart
Brimming with sun these fragrant
days of June
From dawn Of day till fading after
noon,
And here has nature wrought with cum
ming art
A veritable fairyland apart
From the deep wood; the fine spun
grass is strewn
With white gold centered flowers.
sys ! there Is the rune
OF honey bees that mid the blossoms
dart.
Soon small green globes hang where the
blossoms smiled,
Then, ruby pendants on their slender
stems,
The wild Strawberries glow, by warmth
beguiled;
What wonder nature has this fast
ness sought
And fashioned 1t with loving care
and thought,
To hide therein her flaming sun
kissed gems?

LORD NORTHCLIFFE'S
WHEREABOUTS SECRET

LONDON, June Is Omitted News).-
An element Of mystery seems to be sur
rounding the recent movements of Lord
Northcliffe, the British publisher. who Is
reported to be i'll.
Dispatches from Paris said he passed
through there to-day on his way to Lon
don from Switzerland where he has
been resting under doctors orders. But
his business associates here deny any
knowledge Of his movements since he
left Switzerland. The report from Paris
that Lord Northcliffe was being accom-
panied by H. Wickham Steed, editor Of
the Times and a close personal as
sociate, was contradicted by the fact
that Steed was In the party that well
coined Chief Justice Taft on his arrival
here to-day.
John Walter. whose family has long
held an interest in the Times, declined
to comment on the report published here
that Lord Northcliffe had bought his
family holdings In the Times newspaper
for $1,000, 600.
II have told all questioners that I am
unable to comment on the report, no
matter what any one says" Walter said.

Senator Borah (Idaho) will clash
once more with the Administration
Haitian policy tomorrow when the
naval appropriation comes up for final
consideration.
Senator Boran will demand that
American troops be withdrawn from
Haiti at the earliest possible moment
and that a civil government be estab-
lished in place of the military form.
which he charges now prevails. The
Senator expects to wage a losing fight.
but he purposes to make Haiti the CEN
ter of public attention.
The fight over Haiti will center about
an amendment offered by Senator King
(Utah) providing that none OF the ap-
preparations made for the navy shall be
used for the maintenance of troops on
the island.
Mr.. Borah takes the position that the
United States has no business in Haiti
never had any and that 1t has forced
a military government. on an unwilling
people and IS in Haiti in violation OF
the rights of lesser nations.
The Administration has made It clear
that 1t has no intention OF Withdrawing
troops from Haiti now, and the State
Department holds that the only result
of immediate withdrawal would be to
precipitate a situation that would COM
pei the United States to begin It's work
all over again.

MIR. Melons Heel on Politics.

If it were possible to draft into the
service of the United States Govern
ment a few score Secretary MELONS
to get business results out of busi-
ness jobs, no less in public affairs
than in private affairs, instead of
politics in all jobs, it would be worth
tens of millions of dollars a year to
the American people. Incompetency
would not then be the hall mark on
Government departments and bu-
reaus. Waste would not be the>out-
standing record of year after year.
Staggering taxes would not be the
price of politics in business.
This is exactly what Secretary of
the Treasury MELLON means when he
says of the professional politicians
who are trying to throw men off the
Department rolls who know how to
fill their jobs, trying to throw them
out so as to put in their places not
men who know the jobs but men who
know the game of politics:
"The affairs of the Treasury are
of too great Importance TO allow of
Interference in its proper conduct
through the Introduction of petty
politics.
"This Department, particularly the
collection of the revenues and the
handling of the public debt. must be
conducted- on business principles and
kept free at all times from detri-
mental influences"
The American people, the people
who pay the high price of govern.
ment for politics, will know what
Secretary MELLON means, will ap-
prove it and will back it up with
their votes.
But what do business principles
spell to the spoils grabbers of any
party? The business that appeals tc
them is breaking into public jobs
What do they care about the eff
cient collection of the revenues? The
thing they are interested in about
public revenues is spending the reve
nues. What does the proper han
ding of the public debt matter tC
them? The thing that rings the bel
with them is the chance to make
political hay while the sun shines
whatever happens to the public debt
What in the name OF all that is politi.
cal are these gentry in politics for?

immigration Problems.
They Involve Intricate Economic and
Political Factors.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your edi-
torial article on "A Country Without
Labor to Do Its Work" deals with one
of the most confused phases of the i'm
migration question. Our difficulties
with that question seem to have two
roots.
First. there are the theories of the
fathers, who never dreamed OF such con-
ditions as confront us. Second. we treat
as one issue two that are totally diff
ferent--the economic value of the immi-
grant and the political status of the
immigrant. 1t is an Illuminating fact
that while work TO which he is suitec
is grudged him by those already here.
citizenship, for which he is not fitted,
should be urged upon him almost at the
gangway of his ship.
That contemporary day OF Judgment.
the mental testing OF the drafted army.
showed that out of every hundred Poles
sixty-nine had a mental age OF less
than IL years, sixty-three in every hun
dred Italians were of that mental cali
Der, and so were sixty in every hundred
Russians. These nationalists now
supply us with unsl<illed labor. Their
childish mentality reinforced. as 1t is,
by adult will and desires is adequate
for such work. Economically the immi-
grant who tolls with his hands has JUS
titled his admission to this country. But
his incurable dullness disqualifies him as
citizen of a republic.
There seem to be three ways OF meet
ing the situation: first. by the exclusion
OF such immigrants; second. by their
temporary admission as a mobile labor
force. Germany employed Russians and
Italians in that way before the war.
and for the Italians at least the ocean
transportation is a small matter.
The third possibility Is to accept them
as permanent members of the commu-
nifty, but also to accept frankly the fact
that they must always be essentially
the wards of the stronger groups In the
population and must be so dealt with.
The thirty Poles IN the group Of hun
dred to whom nature has been kinder
will reach a status commensurate with
their several abilities, as will the thir-
ty-seven Italians, &c. But II there Is
any reason why a child of IL should be
charged with the responsibilities OF
citizen of the American Republic VIII

In Praise of the Indian.
Their Neighbor in the North Woods
Says a Word in His Behalf.

To THE New York HERALD 1t Is
good to hear voice in appreciation OF
the Indian. Too late to do the Indian
any good. it still must bring a sort of
satisfaction and perhaps sometimes a
little comfort TO the few Indians who
may just happen to read such words
Your Cos Cob correspondent who
writes of "The Real Indian" probably
has lived among or near some Indians
to know them 50. Yet he seems to
speak of the older day Indian only In
his letter. 1 wish some one would
speak for those of to-day.
1t Is our present day Indians who are
suffering most, and the feeling against
them to-day is as wrong as il was Of
old
In the North Woods for twelve years
I have lived near them. White settlers
have crept in. around and between us.
There have been few. very few, good
neighbors among these white faces
but most of them were even worse than
my Indian Is ever said to be. Among
the Indians. on the other hand. j have
been told there is one man who Is bad
though he has never been bad when
I have seen him-and the rest are
very decent and nice and interesting lot
Of people.
Color blind persons can't see pictures
truly. And so II takes some one not
sense dumb 20 see the Indians inner
finenesses and humor and self-control
and dignity But 1t should be clear
even to the coarse and stupid that just
as n human neighbor the Indian usually
is better than the white man.

Fatigue q Mystery.
Never Clearly Defined and Its Rela-
ton to Infection Uncertain.
From the New York Medical Journal.

From the NeiU York Medical Journal.
Fatigue in man has never been clearly
defined and we feel far from explaining
Its origin. There enter in so many diff
ferent factors. 1t has been attributed
to wear and tear in muscle and the ac-
emulation of waste products. The
condition of the nerve end plate seems
concerned In the matter and a using
up of the material of motor nerve cells
has been found by good investigators.
The accumulation of waste products
in the blood is believed to take place
and fatigue toxin was presumably dis
covered by one physiologist. But over
all, in the human subject. there Is the
element OF mental attitude. A class of
girls In gymnastics will show the most
evident signs of fatigue after a gym
nastic lesson and the teacher may fancy
he has overdone the matter and i'm
posed too much of a task, but imme-
diately afterward, should a popular
dance tune be struck UP by the pianist.
the whole class will be dancing as II
they had had no previous muscular ex-
ercise. The pupils were suffering only
from ennui.
Even the tests for fatigue of a few
muscles, which were devised by the
experimental psychologists. have of late
years been considered very unreliable,
the mental attitude element upsetting
al. conclusions With SO simple test
we do not know when the fatigue is
physical or mental. IL It has been diff
cult to define fatigue. It has been as
difficult to distinguish fatigue from ex-
haustion. 1t is interesting to note that
in experiments on dogs the personal
equation comes in very markedly. Many
dogs cannot be persuaded to run in a
treadmill, while others VIII run till they
drop
After exercise the human being Is
more likely to put himself in a. situa-
tion TO become chilled or may conduct
himself In other ways which will render
him susceptible 10 infection for which
the fatigue Is not directly responsible.
In this connection II should be men,
toned that Vernon. in a study of the
effect of fatiguing work In tin mills and
other factories in England could dis
cover no definite relationship between
fatigue and the incidence of sickness,
what excess Illness there was seeming
t. be due to carelessness about exposure
to chilling when wet with perspration.
The subject deserves further study on
other animals. and IL definition of
fatigue can also be worked out by the
Investigators II will be OF much value.

A Famous Plainsman Passes.

n A dispatch from abilene, Texas,
reports the death of JOHN ]. CLINTON,
for thirty-seven years chief of police
and fire marshal of that town. He
belonged to that body of scouts, In
dian fighters and frontier peace Off
GERS which included such men as
Wild Bill HIcKoK, BAT MAsTERsoN,
Buffalo BILL, Ben CLARK and CO.
manche JACK STlLLwELL. He was
perhaps, as the dispatch says, the
last survivor of these famous fight
ing plainsmen of the '60s and 70s.
CLINTON was scarcely more than a
boy when he started out looking for
adventure west of the Missouri. He
had had some training In an Arkan-
sas military school and had been
drummer boy and scout in the last
year of the civil war He had his
first experience with a Kansas cattle
town at wicked Abilene" namesake
of the town in Texas in which he
was to serve so long. When the
railroad pushed on westward from
there he went to Dodge, it's notorious
successor, and remained there for
some time, the youngest and most
daring peace officer at this Western
railroad frontier. He did not FIJI a
grave in the Boothill cemetery prin-
cipally because of the fact that in the
administration of six shooter justice
he could draw quicker and fire faster
than the other fellow.
He was the boy hero of NEn
BUNTLrNE's stories and his adven-
tires formed the basis of many other
writer's tales Of the prairie. CLINTON
retained all his life the youthful zest
and love of adventure which gave his
narratives of the West their vigor
and freshness. The most noted In
dian battles in which CLINTON took
part in Texas were the engagements
at Lone Tree Crossing. the Staked
Plains, Adobe Walls on the Canadian
River and the battle at the water
hole near Van Horn which was made
famous by FREDERIC REMINGTON s
painting.
CLINTON was 20 years old at the
time of the fight near Van Horn and
a member of Big Foot wALLAcE's de-
tachment OF scouts whose duty IL
was to guard the mail from Fort
Davis to El Paso. The season had
been hot and dry and water in the
sand desert was scarce. WALLACE
and his small detachment of men
were in possession of the water hole
when they we're surrounded by a
band OF more than 100 Indians. They
held the red men at bay for two days
and finally by bold dash cut
through the Indian lines and sue
ceeded in reaching Fort Davis after
the loss OF about half their number.
1t was from CLrNToNs vivid descrip-
ton of the battle that REMINGTON
painted "The Fight at the Water
Hole" the most realistic Of all this
artists work.
CLINTON had been a scout over the
land on which Abilene was built. He
became IFS peace oficer in 1884 when
II was a remote COW town Of the
Panhandle. He held the office
