The life of the great leader was a
well rounded one, largely because of
the lights and shadows that criSs-
crossed the pathway of the little
Quaker maid. The public life of more
than go years was a matter OF knowl-
edge to all who kept in touch with pub
lie affairs, but few realized that in addi-
ton to that intense activity OF conven-
tons, lectures, committee meetings,
legislative hearings and various other
public events, there was a private life
of as great intensity in its affectionate
nature, love of the beautiful in all
forms Of nature and constant longing
for the comforts and joys Of q real
home life.
Perhaps the experience that placed
Miss Anthony in the class of ex-nurses
was that of her nine-week vigil at
the bedside of her brother, Daniel r..
Anthony of Leavenworth, Kans. A
shot and seriously wounded came as
convincing addresses at suffrage con-
Vention in New York. The message
was withheld until after the speech had
been delivered and its purpose ac-
complished. Then she worked all
night putting everything in order and
took an early train for her brothers
home Knowing her capability as a
nurse, the brother counted the hours
until her arrival Then the instinct OF
a nurse combined with the love OF a
sister fought and won one of the most
famous battles of medical history.

country was at peace.
Washington Asked Recall.
The behavior of Citizen" Genet
when he was received by Washington
was regarded as overbearing and often
sive. When Thomas Jefferson quoted
to him passages of international Law
as defined by the distinguished Swiss
juriSt, Vattel the Citizen" sneeringly
replied that they we're mere "diplo-
matte subleties" or "aphorisms Of Vat
tel and Others"
Washington asked for the Citizens
recall and France retaliated by asking
for the recall of the American Minister
to Paris, who had made scathing re-
marks about Genet.
Out of this situation came q slogan
which is credited with having kept this
country and France at variance for
several years, and from 1898 to 1900 in
a state of limited war 1t was millions
for defense, but not cent for tribute
The sentence is commonly attributed to
Charles c. Pinckney. who, with Elbridge
Gerry and John Marshall, was on a
special mission to France. 1t was init
mated to them by emiSsaries of Talley-
rand, then French minister of foreign
affairs, that a good deal of money
ought to be paid before the resentment

ing, the physician In charge announced
that the only way of saving his life
was by keeping a constant pressure
upon the artery above the wound. This
required such delicate handling that
the pressure could be applied only by
the fingers. The tender-hearted
brother Merritt, the loving wife and the
capable sister Susan took turns in CIV
ing this difficult and tender ministry
for five weeks, day and night, without
cessation.
When the battle with the grim agent
of death was over congratulations came
from all parts of the country, not only
to the public official, whose life had
hung in the balance, but to the nurse
whose ability, coupled with an affec-
tomato nature, had met the crisis with
the slogan, failure is impossible"
Susan B. Anthony's work as teach
er was so highly considered that she
ever had lived in Canahojarie. where
she taught school. Her association
with the principal was so uniformly
pleasant that so years later he invited
her to speak to the school over which
he was then presiding, on any subject,
even woman suffrage.
1t was during the years Of enforced
teaching that Miss Anthony came to
feel, with such intense Indignation, the
injustice melted out to woman teachers
in the matter of salaries. The women
did the same work as the men and
sometimes better work but received only
one-fourth of the salary paid to the
men. When Miss Anthony received
$3.50 o week In q small school she was
satisfied because 1t was the usual wage

repulsed with the reply, mo- no, not Q

to see what they could do about get
ting a loan from the United States for
the French Directory, then in power.
Pinckney Utterance Questioned.
John Bassett Moore, authority on in
ternational law, maintains that the ex-
preston about millions for defense,
which so closely resembles a phrase
used by Jefferson in refusing to bride
the Barbary powers to keep their
was never uttered by Pinckney. The
sentiment, he declares was toast given
at public dinner to John Marshall in
Philadelphia on his return from France.
In its dramatic form it spread in the
American press and then to France,
where it stirred up anger.
Another bit of literature which added
fuel to the flames was an ode referring
to base Gallia,'' written by Joseph
Story, afterward ssociate justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
calling on Harvard College, where he
was just finishing his studies, to take
up arms against France. A youthful
and rather eXtravagant composition was
the poem, but it pursued its author
even when he had won fame as a
juriSt.

OF these probably the enc who made
himself most unacceptable was Ed

 France must be consulted, for the immediate future at least, and both French and American diplo- mats admit freely that they do not understand each other and that their policies are widely variant. That gives added importance to the forthcoming visit to Washing ton of Pierre Laval. premier of France.
 There is much in common be- tween Laval and President Hoover. Both are business men who have gone to the highest political posts their respective countries offer and both are accustomed to economic rather than political considerations in their arguments.

 Laval hopes to lay before Presi- dent Hoover in Washington late in October balance sheets of disarma- ment and reparations which bus mess men can understand. He will not try to convince America of the right of French argument. He in- tends to show his figures, pack his bag and come back to France.
 France is not adamant in her attitude. She is willing to make sacrifices in reparations, she knows she must lend Germany more money to secure what she has al- ready invested in that country, she is ready to make budget sacrifices in national defense.

Dissolution of Parliament Expected Thursday-Mac-
 Donald COnfers With King

Authoritative sources said disso- lution of parliament would be an- nounced Thursday, the day after the present session of parliament ends.
 MacDonald,s battle to secure a united front of majority of con- servatives, an important element of liberals under leadership of Sir John Simon, and the laborites who followed him into support of the national government, apparently was achieved shortly before mid night last night. The cabinet end ed two hour session in the prime minister's room at the house of commons at 11:30 p. m. and it was understood that an agreement had been reached on a future course of action without dissension.
 Everything will now be straight forward" Macdonald told news paper men as he left the meeting.
 It was learned that MaeDonald's plans were perilously near defeat when the cabinet met Monday night for the free trade members of the government had gone to the meeting with the intention of re- signing. MacDonald's powerful plea for a united cabinet convinced conservative and liberal members of the necessity of abandoning their respective principles for the moment and cooperating in an at- tempt to lead the country out of it's financial, economic, and politi- cal morass.
 The break between David Lloyd George and liberal elements SUD- porting Macdonald was completed when 21 liberals, headed by Sir John Simon, met at the house of commons and unanimously adopted 8 resolution to form an organiza- tion supporting MacDonald's efforts to deal with the national emer- gency and give him whatever pow CTS he considered necessary in event of a general election. The liberals decided to proceed with plans for their candidates in the general election.
