REPUBLICANS DESIRE TO HELP

"There are thousands of republicans who, while not agreeing with MT. Wilson in all his policies, have sincere desire to promote public welfare, and truly appreciate those ideals for which MT. Wilson has so conspicuously stood" says Sidney J. Bowie, chairman of the local Woodrow Wilson foundation drive.
 Many leading republicans have signifed their interest in this movement by making gifts and accepting assignments on committees
 "The scope of the work is not confined to any race, creed, party or sex. It comprehends not only the present but the future, and all Of the future In brief, our purpose is to estab- fish an American Nobel fund for the stimula- tion of high public endeavor now and through all time.
 "These are ideals to which all can subscribe. The stimulation to the recognition of public service is bound to react favsraby upon all of us. Although in one sense the cause is al- trustic, in large sense in the stimulation of honorable public service, it will react favorably upon us all."

DOGS ARE NEGLECTED

Payment of the dog license fee is very slow up to the present time," says c. E. Armstrong, chief clerk in the city comptroller's office. "To date only about 300 dog owners have paid the license for their pets. Last year several thou sand of the tags were secured The fee is $2 this year, regardless of the sex of the dog, being the same for both males and females.
 "The tax becomes delinquent March 1, after which an additional dollar will be assessed against delinquent owners penalty. In ad- dition they will be in danger of having their dogs shot. Persons who owe the tax will do well to make their payments early possible and avoid the rush that always materazes during the last few days in which the tax can De N't

MARRIAGE IN ABsENTIo

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 After travelling seven weeks across the Pa cific, and almost to the equator, it is surprising and almost disappointing to find Batavia, the capital of Java, an up-to-date, hustling city, and not wildly picturesque place.
 Java is the most important island of the h. dian archipelago, and belongs to Holland. The Holanders who go to Java to enter business usually remain there the rest of their lives.
 Like the Englishmen in India the Dutehmen in Java are unfitted for life in their native country, unless they happen to be very rich. Servants are so inexpensive in Java that even a person in moderate circumstances can afford at least six The Europeans living in India and Java find the luxury of many servants diffi- cult to give up when they go home, and very often stay in the east for that very reason.
 According to the religion of Java, which is Mohammedan, a man is allowed four wives. But the HI. C. L." has even reached Java, and the number of wives has, on that account, been cut down to great degree.
 If nobleman marries beneath him he does not bother to go to the ceremony, but very kindly sends his sword or his hat to represent him.

DISCHARGED BY WARDEN

To the Editor of the Age-Herald: I notice in your today's issue, under glaring headlines, sent out from your Montgomery porter, -Four Speigner Guards Fired After Escape of Five.'
 What I would like for you to correct is the part relating to the discharge of these men by Mr. William F. Feagin, state warden general These men were discharged by myself before any report was made to Mr. Feagin Nof the matter
 These five men escaped some time after 12 o'clock Sunday night and it did not take a Philadelphia lawyer to determine who was Co blame in the matter. Mir Feagin leaves mat ters of this kind up to the warden, and am sure he would not sanction such an erroneous report as this.
 am sure Fred Gormley misunderstood the details of this unfortunate occurrence The balance of your story regarding this matter is substantially correct.
 Yours very truly,

GENERAL PERSHING DECLINES
 TO ACCEPT A MEDAL

General Pershing has set a good example to the wearers of numerous medals whose de- serts are less than his by refusing to accept the distinguished service cross for an act of herosm performed when he was brigadier general in the Philippines.
 Secretary Weeks had planned what he thought would be pleasant surprise for Per- shing, but when the former leader of the American army in France heard what was afoot he called on the secretary and this belated honor willing to be decorated for a deed which he considered less worthy of such an honor than many acts of heroism during the World war which were not recognized by the war depart ment
 The citation read that while in action against the Moros, General Pershing personally as- sumed command of the assauting line at the most critical period when only about 15 yards from the last Moro position. His encourage ment and splendid example of personal he- roism resulted in the capture of the hostile stronghold"
 General Pershing has honors enough with out receiving an additional medal for something he did long before he became an international figure. The thought may also have occurred to him that his country was tardy in rewarding him for service performed nine years ago.
