EIOquence His Power

Through all this varied career his
chief power was his eloquence. He
saw clearly and felt strongly. Yet
his oratory was always of a practi-
cal nature. He painted no pictures
merely to create beauty for its own
sake, but he illustrated his argu-
pents with the wondrous gems of
eloquence. that he might the better
convince his hearers. 1t was so in
the Dartmouth College case, it was
so in the reply to Hayne. His love
of county. his legal mind, his power
of exposition inevitably made him
the defender~of the Constitution
Measured purely by the results of
his arguments he ranks as the great
est orator of modern times. When
he answered the proponents of nulli-
flcation he saved the Union.
This life and works deserve far
more study than they receive. Mr.
. Benson has brought into his book
much material that have not seen
before in print. He has effectively
answered many criticisms, correctly
represented Mr. Webster as a great
dntellect, an able lawyer, a wise
statesman, and left him also a hu-
man being entitled to our adn1ira-
tion, our sympathy and our love.

COOLIDGE FINDS

IN WEBSTER
BY CALVIN COOLIDGE

NEW YORK, Oct. % Q.N.SJ.-
America has always been a land of
romance. 1t was so in the days
of Columbus. The same character
istic has marked all its history.
Z AS a new country with great nat
ural resources it is not remark
able that it has produced many
great fortunes. But that is by no
means its chief distinction. That
men would rise from obscurity to
wealth was to be expected and
many have done so who were with
out much that could be termed
greatness. 1t will be necessary
however. to seek for some different
explanation for those who with
Hpnly a background of good sound
blood have gained the heights Of In
Aellectual supremacy. The abun-
dant products Of the nation do not
account for men of the type of
Jonathan Edwards, Benjamin Frank.
Wn, George Washington, Abraham
Eincoln or Daniel Webster. They
same to us and are gone-a wonder
and mystery.
- Need Such Books
~ Since we, can never know too
much of such figures; never spend
700 much time in their contempla-
kion, we are always indebted to an
Author who can lay the career OF
any Of them before us freshly and
Interestingly as Allan l.. Benson
Eas done in his recent life of Daniel
Z Webster. He seems to know what
as essential to the portrait Of this
kreat man and has the skill to
present it through all the wondrous
acenes of his life from the time he
LAY in the cradle ON the northern
&rontier in New Hampshire until a
multitude of 10000 surrounded his
bier at Marshfield. The story is
well told. Those who read it will
get a new record Of an important
period of our history and a faithful
account OF the acts and character
Of the greatest man of his time.
The general features Of the life
of Daniel Webster are fairly well
known, the struggles Of his youth,
the hesitations of his early man.
hood, his school teaching period,
his law studies at Boston, his first
practice in New Hampshire ending
in his election to Congress, his re-
turn to the bar and his practice IN
Massachusetts,, his election to the
Senate, his service as Secretary OF
State, his return to the Senate and
his final days as Secretary Of State.

In these three fields his greatness
developed step by step. He was
Profound lawyer learned in his pro-
fession and a matchless advocate.
He not only knew the law but knew
how to apply it to the case in hand.
As a tryer of cases he rose to the
&Rrst place at the bar of the nation.
What has so seldom been done
he did in becoming not only great
lawyer but a great Senator. It
was given him to comprehend legis-
lation and understand public poll
cies. His power of exposition when
applied to political questions has
never been surpassed.
In the field of diplomacy he was
likewise successful. His note to
England settled the question of the
search of our ships which a war
had left undetermined go that it
was never raised again, and his ne
Gotiation ended the boundary dis
putes that were seriously threaten
ang to involve US in armed con-
1iict.

We can not shelter ourselves prop

Then the heat sinks heavily into
our shell holes like a jelly fish,
moist and oppressive, and on one
of these late summer days, while

Kat groans desperately: AT last

The wound begins TO bleed fast.

I write his address in my pocket

though he still sits here beside me-
Couldn't shoot myself quickly in

Suddenly Kat gurgles and turns
green and yellow. "Let us go on"
he stammers.
I jump up, eager to help him, I
take him up and start off at a run,
a slow steady pace, so as not to jolt
his leg too much.

CHAPTER XXI

THERE are so many airmen here,
J. and they are so sure of them
selves that they give chase to single
individuals, just as though they
we're hares. For every German
plane there come at least five Eng
lish and American.
For one hungry, wretched Ger
man soldier come five of the enemy,
fresh and fit. For one German
army loaf there are fifty tins Of
canned beef over there.
We are not beaten, for as soldiers
We are better and more experienced;
We are simply crushed and driven
back by Overwhelmingly superior
forces.
Behind us lie rainy weeks - grey
sky, grey fluid earth, grey dying.
If we go out, the rain at once soaks
through our overcoat and clothing
and we remain wet all the time we
are in the line.
We never get dry. Those who
still wear high boots tie sand bags
round the top so that the mud does
not pour in so fast. The rifles are
caked. the uniforms caked, every
thing Is fluid and dissolved, the
earth one dripping, soaked, oil mass
in which lie the yellow pools with
red spiral streams of blood into
which the dead, wounded and sur
vivorS slowly sink.
The storm lashes us, out of the
confusion of grey and yellow the
hail of splinters whips forth the
child-like cries of the wounded, and
in the night shattered life groans
YEARLY to the silence.
Our hands are earth. our bodies
clay and our eyes pools of rain.

JAPANESE DIET
MAY Be DISSOLVED
Session Opening Today Lacks
Majority for Hamaguchi's
Ministry.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC, December 23.-The nifty
seventh session Of the Imperial Diet
Japan's national parliament, convened
today. Although the government has
made no announcement on the matter,
the consensus of able political observers
was that dissolution was certain, the
only question being as to whether 1t
will come before or after the New Year
recess, December rs to January 20.
Dissolution and q new election Of
members of the House of Representa-
tives is considered inevitable because
the Minseito, the party supporting
Premier Yuko Hamaguchi's ministry, is
in the minority in that chamber and
must appeal to the country to get q
majority. Despite q strong feeling In
the party ranks that the sooner the
test comes the better, MinSelto leaders
have advised the premier to withhold
dissolution until January. in order that
the premier, foreign minister and A.
nance minister may make their annual
statements of policy before the two
houses and also to permit the oppoSi-
ton to make interpretations on gen.
eral policy.
Few Months In Power.
The Minseito ministry came into
power July 2, 1929, when the Seiyukai
cabinet of the late Baron Giichi Tana-
ka fell, destroyed by disapproval in
quarters near the throne Of its blunders
In connection with the ratification Of
the Kellogg treaty and the lnvestiga-
ton Of the assassination Of Marshal
Chang Tso-Lin at Mukden. Despite
The change in cabinets the seiyukai
retained It's majority IN the Lower
House, where seats are now distributed
as follows: MinSeito (government) =,
ia: Seiyukai (opposition), 240: Probe
tartan parties. Z; Business Mems party,
,: Meiseikai. 4: Kakushin Club. /; in
dependents, %; vacancies, II; total, ass
Expect Clear Majority.
Minseito leaders are confident Of
their ability to gain Q clear majority,
Or 234 seats, by appealing to the coun-
Ey. They allege that In the last cleo
ton, February 20, 1928, held under the
Seiyukat regime, widespread ofacial
pressure was brought to bear in favor
Of the government party. They de-
pend on the unpopularity attaching to
the last cabinet and on the effect of
recently disclosed scandals involving
Heikichi Ogawa, minister Of railways
In the Tanaka cabinet, and other high
Omcials Of the regime, to swing the
country In their favor. They rasintain
that Premier Hamaguchis policies of
national thrift and economic recon-
struction have found favor with The
nation.
A national election must be held
within 80 days of the date Of q parlia-
nentary dissolution, which means IL
viii come In January or late February,
depending on whether the HamaglIchi
cabinet decides to wait until after the
New Year recess before asking the
Emperor to dissolve the Diet. A new
session must be convened within i've
months Of the dissolution.
