European diplomacy which has al
ready been exposed. When we think
Of the state Of western Europe,
when we study the tactics and diplo-
matte sortie OF the chancellors and
premiers Of the greas powers, those
of the democracies not expected, we
pray most ferventiy, "0od save the
peoples Of Europe, preserve them,
defend them, above all else, from
their own national and international
leadership"
Here In our own land this last
week we have witnessed Q catastro-
rhe Of appalling dimensions. Hurri-
caned and flood have devastated
thousands upon thousands OF. square
miles Of territory, thousands Of
people have been driven from their
homes, hundreds Of Mullins Of dol
lars Of property damage has result
ed, and the death toll has continue
ed to mount with each passing day
since the force Of the storm first
struck on Wednesday. our hearts go
out to this array Of sufferers. We
shall have to remember our obliga-
ton to share in their sufferings and
10 give out Of our abundance to
feed the hungry, to clothe the
needy, and to help comfort those
upon whom has fallen the brunt OF
this terrible catastrophe. Surely
there Is little more that need say
about these things at the moment.
The American people have seldom
failed TO meet the responsibility OF
the appeal Of human need which
follows In the wake Of some great
national catastrophe.
I believe that he triumph Of right
and Justice in this world Is newt
able but ] do not expect that right
and justice can be indicated I'M
mediately and In every conflict. Ju-
dab was more often defeated than
not and on certain occasions when
her cause seemed most righteous,
Judah went down TO defeat. Judah
lost her national liberty, but the
principles for which she stood, the
faith In God which was her true
glory, have been abundantiy vindi-
Gated. The wisdom and generalship
OF the nations that defeated Judah
In battles have been discredited for
10, these many centuries, have been
consigned TO oblivion for milleniums
even. The witness Of the men Of
faith In Israel are more real, more
vital, more significant today than
ever before. Amid ell the confusions
and perplexities and anxietieS OF
this present hour, he know that
courage and right and justice are
OF more value than oil the Kingdoms
and Victories OF this world and that
the very stars In their course are
on the side OF the man who Is
kind, who Is just, who Is faithful,
who Is loyal. God will save his soul
though Oil his goods and chattels
and even life Itself DO taken away.

An Ounce of Prevention.

Parents Of children entering the public
schools Monday owe it to the children
and to the community to heed the Health
Department warning and see by medical
check-up that their offspring are in the
proper physical condition.
This is not problem to be dismissed
lightly. These children-nearly one
hundred thousand of them-will be in
classes together; in many cases they will
eat and play together. Their relation
ships will be close with one another to
the extent that the slight sickness Of
one may affect the health of many.
Children Of school age are too young
to be charged with the responsibility of
knowing when they are not we'll and
parents should not throw aside their
obligations for this reason. Where the
child might be perfectly willing to go
to school with slight snif1le or cough,
a wise parent will step in and say no.
Hence, for the sake of the children and
the community be careful!

The Constitution.

Celebrating today the one hundred and
fifty-f1rst anniversary of the signing of
the Constitution of the United States,
the American people testify to greater
love for their basic charter of disciplined
freedom than even its most sanguine and
hopeful sponsor ever could have guessed.
1t is living document that they salute,
a living force to which they again pledge
their allegiance.
This perhaps, is but another way of
saying that the Constitution wears we'll.
The experience of the past few years has
taught millions of men and women to
appreciate the philosophy Of ordered and
integrated liberty which it represents.
Wise and good were its trainers, patriotic
its interpreters. 1t has grown in power
and influence by use, by practice of its
fundamental principles. Back of it at
the first lay the garnered judgment of
the human race; to it from time to time
has been added such amendments as
the conscience of the Nation has
prompted. It's authors were deeply read
in the history of law, those who have
been charged with its application and
expansion since 1887 generally have been
jurists and legislators competent for
their work and equal to their RESPONSE
bility. The Constitution was not ven-
turesome experiment when it was writ
ten; it is not merely gesture of aspira-
ton today.
Rather, it is as real and as DYNAMIC
as electricity. 1t vitalizes the existence
of the Republic, guards and protects q
democratic society, shelters every home,
quickens the soul of every citizen. Such
skeptics as have challenged it have had
cause to regret their impertinence. Espe-
cially in an hour when the whole earth
is rife with trouble, it is an object of
veneration for multitude which
nationally fears war and tumult, wants
peace, security and the stability in gov
ernment which can be had only by
loyalty to Truth.
And the elemental verify which the
Constitution codifies is self-evident to all
who have eyes to see, hearts to compre-
hend. 1t maintains "a more perfect
union," establishes and constantly re-
establishes justice, insures domestic
tranquility" provides for the common
defense, promotes "the general welfare"
secures "the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity." If it does not
derive directly from God, it certainly is
manifestation of His charity to the
United States, His mercy for the people
of America.

Sport Afoat.

Marked by the greatest number of con-
testants in its history, the 1898 Presi-
dents Cup Regatta gets under way this
afternoon with the first series of sailing
events. on Hams Point the waters of
the Potomac will be dotted with the
white canvas Of some hundred and
seventyfive craft seeking the trophies
offered by The Evening Star. The con-
cluding events of the sail classes will
occupy the entire day tomorrow.
The rest of Washington's great annual
water festival will begin Thursday with
the arrival by seaplane Of the queen of
the regatta and the pageant of the
Water Gate, the street parade, the SWIM
ming and diving events, to be followed
next Friday and Saturday by the power
boat races.
The increasing popularity and import
ance of the National Capitals regatta is
attested by the unprecedented number
of contestants already signed up this
year. The increase in the number OF
participants which has been shown each
successive year is continued and is a
tribute to the efficiency of the committees
in charge and to the hospitality of the
District of Columbia.
The sailing events alone indicate the
Importance which competitive sailors at
tach to the Presidents Cup Regatta. The
list of entries Is not only record one
Tor Washington, but Is the largest this
year south of New York City. The in
terest in the events is widespread. one
craft In the comet class coming from as
far away as Puerto Rico to compete.
A special tribute is due the directors
of the event and the authorities of the
city for the provisions which have been
made for spectators. Ample seating ar
rangements are available for those who
desire them, both along the main portion
Of the course and at the Water Gate for
the aquatic pageant and the fireworks.
Special traffic plans have been worked
out to allow the smoothest flow possible
to and from the scenes of the various
events.

to do with the plants which put forth q
few belated blossoms.
Just what these precise conditions are
nobody seems to know, but it may be
supposed that they have something to
do with reminding the plants of spring
again.
Every one who has watched the living
things we call plants for any length of
time Is willing to believe that they do
have Intelligence, not in the same way
we have 1t, but certainly to some degree.
The process of photosynthesis, for in
stance, or the building up of tissues
including vitamins-through the action
OF sunshine on existing plant fibers, is
one OF the great demonstrations of INTEL
ligence.
All our vitamins, on which we put
such stress today in dietetics, come from
the plants.
Even the cod and the halibut, whose
livers are supercharged with vitamins A
and D. are dependent upon masses of
minute plants of the sea for them.
~
The average persons interested in
plants will be perfectly willing to believe
that II these interesting things, at once
useful and beautiful, can supply the
world with its vitamins, they must have

Yet the total number is large in it.
self; 1t means that everywhere there are
men and women who are willing to slow
down, not only to let birds and beasts
pass in safety, but are sure in their
own minds that life is worth having and
preserving, and equally sure that this
idea applies to others as well as to
themselves.
Recent statistics show that large
percentage OF motorists in actual driving
only allows second for the difference
between hitting something and not hit
ting it.
This means that the sloW-up advocated
by our correspondent need not be a
drastic one, but such a tiny thing that
there should be no real reason in the
world for not according it to all small
things on legs.
Those who live in the suburban areas
know from their own personal observa-
tlons the fraction Of second necessary
for an animal to escape death.
They have seen squirrel run over and
killed just as it was about to escape.
Probably one-tWentieth of a second more
time would have permitted it to cross in
safety.
Thought for this fraction of second
must precede thought for whole seconds,
the larger time required for the differ
epce between safety and disaster to
humans.
1t may be that the whole safety prob
lem Is being attacked from the wrong
end, that if authorities could make mo-
torists, as class, see the vital necessity
OF slowing down. at the right time, they
might end by teaching drivers to drive
slower all the time, not faster as some
advocate.

Speed for Safety.

Two intrepid English sportsmen have
been engaged in a thrilling automobile
speed duel on the salt flats of Utah, the
apparent purpose of which was to de-
termine how fast mechanical contriv-
ance can travel on land without taking
off or falling to pieces. The contestants
were Captain E. T. Eyston, retired British
army officer, and John r. Cobb, London
fur dealer. The only reward at stake
was the title of fastest driver on earth.
Gradually these two expert motorists
have pushed their specially constructed
racers closer and closer to the six-miles-
a-minute mark which l1red them to
risk their money and necks at Bonne-
vile. Foolhardy? Perhaps-and yet
the travelling public owes much to the
"foolhardy" racing drivers Of earlier days

bankers" and not the administration
will get the blame.
A chronological review of the extraor-
binary developments in the Maryland
bridge situation is interesting.
While on his way to Denton, Md, to
ask that Senator Tydings be defeated for
the nomination, the President stopped at
Morgantown to inspect the Potomac
bridge site. He told the Southern Mary
land voters then that construction of the
bridge was "one of the things that has
got to be done as fast as we can possibly
do It,"
On the following Saturday. two days
before the election, the President in
structed P. w. A. Administrator 1ckes to
give the bridge projects the right Of
way" and Mr.. Ickes issued orders that
the projects, which, had been pending
since 1884, be investigated and reported
upon at once.
Then came the election, and with it,
the victory for Senator Tydings.
Three days later Mr.. Ickes disclosed
that the bridge applications were lust
where they always were"-in the p. w. A.
files. And furthermore, he added, there
will be no bridges unless Maryland
bankers agree to buy bonds which would
be issued for their construction. The
bankers refused some time ago to buy
the bonds unless the program included
bridge across the Chesapeake, and the
P. w. A. has not approved any such
project.
From that 1t would appear that while
Maryland has got Mr.. Tydings, 1t is not
likely to get the bridges too.
