An an nouncement intended to accelerate recruiting, perhaps. The Berlin Tageblatt denies that the Kaiser eer said the war would be ended in October. However, we hadn't heard that the allies had be gun practicing "Hoch der Kaiser." Up to July .20, ninety-five neutral ships had been ffnk by German warships or mines. And yet the Berlin government wants the question of the "free don of the seas" discused with some other nation first. The Department of Agriculture warns house holders that celery -hould be thoroughly scrubbed before eating to avoid poisoning from copper con tained in spraying solutions.

Go hitman has commuted to life imprison ment the sentence of death imposed upon a wom an who killed a man. It was a foregone conclu sion that he would take this action, though there was no reason for it except that the murderer is a weman Since women are no longer put to death for murder in this country, the wisdom of changing the laws which prescribe capital pun ishment, so as to make them apply only to men seems apparent. "Spirit mastery demands that clothing be such as not to attract attention to the animal but to obscure it," said a speaker before the Interna tional Purity Congress in San Francisco. "Woman looks upon herself as an animal and then decks that animal-self with showy trappings." But after all most of the women who deck themselves out with "showy trappings" wouldn't know they re garded themsehes as animals if the uplift speak ers did not tell them so, and they won't feel the reed of "spirit mastery" anyway. A Brooklyn real estate dealer, who heard that a Buffalo insurance firm had written to the mayor of Hartford inquiring where it could obtain 2,000, 000 Mauser rifles, declares that he can furnish at least 1,000,000 and possibly the entire number at $27 per rifle. Asked where he would obtain the weapons the .Brooklyn man replied: "That is a business secret. I haven't the slightest idea as to where the rifles are to go whether to Germans or the allies. T do know that I can get them." Right here is an ample supply of weapons, for Mr. Bryan's million soldiers, who could be called in the morning and be ready for the field by sunset. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company an nounces the adoption of a pension system, estab lished "in recognition and appreciation of the long, continuous and faithful service rendered by many of our employes, and to provide the necessities and secure the comforts of life for such of our cm ployes as may be retired and placed upon the pension list." The benefits arc open to 12,000 persons employed. One by one the great corpora- lions are recognizing the economic advantage and the justice of the pension system. The United Slates government has made war on the business methods of the corporations, but in the matter of the welfare of their employes many of them are already in z. position to lift the voice of accusa--tM araiast Uncle Sam. t The "Rough Rider" at Fighting Pitch. Col. Roosevelt spoke many plain truths in his address on "War and Peace" at San Francisco, and his words will not fail to make many converts to Indifference to Living. By 'JOHN D. BARRY.

Sometimes we find help in likely to be viewed in a new light by those who mark the Colonel's arguments.

We return to the old scene with new vigor, with freshness of mind that brightens all the old associations. But if wc re main in the new scene until it ceases to be new we are likely to return to the old state of mind. The explanation is, of course, that the trouble lies not in our surroundings, or in our circum- Referring to his own rapid-fire acquisition of the sta"ces'. buLl in ourselves. Panama Canal Zone he said: "If, instead of act ing as this nation did in the fall of 1903, we had confined ourselves to debates in Congress and diplomatic notes; if, in other words, we had treated elocution as a substitute for action, we would have done nobody any good, and for ourselves we would have earned the hearty de rision of all other nations." This was clearly a reiterated denunciation of President Wilson's course that has up to the present time avoided an open break with Germany; but further along in his address the"Colonel admitted: "Preparedness is not the affair of a day. If we begin at once, a year or two must elapse before we shall have ac complished even a beginning." Certainly, therefore, but very little could be done in a few months to prepare the nation to back its demands, but it is reasonable to assume that the government has not been idle since the Lusitania horror and that whatever was possible has been or is being ac complished. It would seem that it should not be difficult for the majority of the people to choose between the Roosevelt way, that would have invited war with Germany within forty eight hours after the Lusitania was sunk, and the patient method of President Wilson that has, with out yielding a single one of our rights as a nation, given Germany every opportunity to remain at peace with us by making what amends are pos sible for the crime she has committed and giving us assurance against a repetition. Time has not softened the people's righteous wrath- nor weaken ed the President's determination to exact the full est reparation; but if war must come, we shall, if those intrusted with government have done their duty, be in some slight measure better prepared to prosecute it than we were two days after the world-staggering infamy that caused it was perpe trated. Stripping the Bryan peace treaties of their gar lands of olie Col. Roosevelt declared: "This was and explicit promise in each case that if American women were raped and American men murdered, as has actually occurred in Mexico; or American men, women and children drowned on the high seas, as in the case of the Gulflight and Lusitania; or if a foreign power secured and fortified Magda lena Bay or the Island of St. Thomas, we would appoint a commission and listen to a year's con versation on the subject before taking action." This flaming illustration of the effect of his treaties will not shock Mr. Bryan's sensibilities, and doubtless he would readily admit that the Colonel had accurately analyzed both the treaties and Mr. Bryan's intentions in negotiating them. But to most Americans, it is safe to say, the situa tion presented will appear abhorent; and their ver dict will consign the treaties to the fate of other forgotten "scraps of paper." There was the true American ring to all Col. Roosevelt had to say in advocacy of preparedness. The efforts of the "peace-at-any-price people" to "Chinafy" the United States, our helplessness in Mexico and the possibility of foreign powers un dertaking the work of pacification there, and our present inability to uphold the Monroe doctrine are all realities confronting the nation and de manding earnest thought and action. As usual Col. Roosevelt has a remedy to offer for the evils he points out. Our regular army, he believes, should be greatly increased in size and "rendered much more efficient by yearly maneuvers in mass as well as practice in other directions." He also firmly believes that there should be "universal military service for our young men on the Swiss model. In Switzerland the boys are trained for their last few years in the public schools and after they graduate from the public schools they serve with the army for four or six months and then for eight or ten days every year for the next ten years." There are many besides the peace-at-any-price disciples opposed to universal military service for the young men of the coun try, but a war with a world at stake warns us to find a way to prepare for war and to be ready to pay the price of liberty. Ungrateful and Dishonest Shortly after the homeward rush from Europe to the United States was ended last summer gov ernment officials who had charge of the work of proiding ready money for thousands of Ameri cans stranded because of the collapse of the bank ing and financial system abroad, expressed sur prise and gratification at the promptness with which the returned tourists, who in many -cases had given no security whatever, reimbursed the government. It was announced that only a few of these obligations remained outstanding, and they were soon to be liquidated. There was every reason why these people should have promptly and gratefully refunded the money advanced them. Practically all of "them were well-to-do, traveling abroad for pleasure, and possessed of ample means to bring them home again, though unable to obtain the actual cash because of the war. But now comes the announcement from the Sec retary of the Treasury that "many reimbursements have been made, but there have- been a number of refusals to pay on the part of persons who appear to be able to pay." It is stated that the Department of Justice will be requested to bring suits against these persons to recover the sums due the government Certainly there should be no further delay in instituting legal proceedings in such cases of plain dishonesty. A year has passed since the money was advanced, and those who are able to pay and have not paid are en titled to no more consideration than any other class of "deadbeats."

There is even a comic aspect. Best of all there is the evident desire to help. For we cannot think of any representative of the law really wishing to punish a suicide, to add another burden to a life already intolerably bur dened. There must be on the part of those directly concerned a swift desire to save, to succor, and to console. The Salvation Army has lately been trying to do what it could for such unfortunates. It seeks to discover causes, and if possible to secure reme dies. Perhaps its work will be one of the many ways by which the world shall be led to deal with the far-reaching causes that drive people into the self-destroying class, making them despair of finding help. It is obvious that the point of view of such people is wrong, for the instant their needs are known they receive help. Indeed, the way they are treated when they have failed in their pur pose shows what an ocean of 'human sympathy lies under our apparent indifference. In declaring that it intends to punish suicides the law really means that it intends to help them. It strives to put a further obstacle in their path. But yet the effort toward prevention is largely futile. It is only those who fail that can be helped. The law recognizes that these people will be amenable to help. It sees that as soon as the in terval of despair passes there will be the return of reason. It is through this return of reason that the law may do the real work, through the intelli gent guiding that is bound to come when the work ing of the law allies itself more and more closely, as it is now doing, with the forces of intelligence. In "The Inferno" Dante has given a ghastly picture of the souls of suicides. Most of us nowadays would consider it far too horrible to be true. And yet, is it unlikely that in the other world, it is discreditable not to have accepted life with all its burdens and to have endured the burdens to the end? Is it conceivable that there is any possible escape? If there are burdens here why should there not be burdens there? And why should there not be discredit as well as credit? And why should there not be a fulfillment there, both of the present duties and of the duties avoid ed elsewhere, including the supreme duty of living finely? Here we are considering, of course, those cases where suicides are not the result of insanity. There are those who go so far as to say that there are no such cases, that all who destroy themselves are diseased. The Catholic Church seems to be inclining to ward such a view. At any rate, where it once refused to bury suicides in consecrated ground, it now gives them the benefit of the doubt by never refusing them burial. On the other hand, the Romans made a fine art of self-destruction. They carried life to so high a degree of art that they made self-slaughter artistic But life is much greater than an art. It is greater even than a duty. It is, perhaps, a combi nation of botn, with something added. And no art can transcend making life consis tent and whole, seeing it through to the end, with out surrender. Edison's Genius. EARLY COLONIAL SUCCESSES.

It proved Infinitely difficult for them to get supplies, particularly arms and ammunition: but slowly, very slow ly, they came In. General Washington was but forty three, and had an energy which was both 1 iperatlve and Infectious. His urgent explicit, businesslike letters found their way to every man of Influence and to every colonial committee or assembly from whom aid could come. Cannon were dragged all the way from Ticonderoga for his use. The hardy, danger-loving seamen of the coasts about him took very cheerfully to pri vateering; Intercepted supply ships and even transports bound for Boston: brought English merchantmen Into port as prizes; cut ships out from under the very guns of a British man-of-war here and there In quiet harbors. Food and munitions Intended for the British regiments at Boston frequently found their way to General Washing ton's camps Instead, notwithstanding Boston harbor was often full of armed vessels which might have swept the coasts. The commanders In Boston felt beset. Isolated, and uneasy, and hesitated pain fully what to do. The country -at large was open to the Insurgent forces, to move In as they pleased. In the autumn Colonel Montgomery, the gallant young Irish soldier nbo had served under Wolfe at Quebec led a con tinental force northward through the wilderness; took the forts which guarded the northern approaches to Lake Cham- plain: and occupied Montreal, intercept ing and taking the little garrison which left the place In boats to make Its way down tho river. Meanwhile Colonel Benedict Arnold nas at the gates of Quebec, and Mont gomery pushed forward to join him. forced his way In from the coast through the thick forests of Maine, along the ley sti earns of the Kennebec and the Chaudlere. The bitter journey had cost him quite a third of the little force with which Washington had sent him forth. He had but seven hundred men with whom to tako the all but Impregnable place, and Montgomery brought but a scant Ave hundred to assist him. But tho two young commanders were not to be daunted. They loved daring; and touched all who followed them with their own indomitable spirit. In the black, darkness of the night which preceded the last day of the year (December 31. 1775, amidst a blinding storm of snow, they threw themselves upon the defenses of the place, and would have taken It had not Montgomery lost his life ere his men gained their final foothold within the walls. The Congress at Philadelphia had at least the satisfaction of receiving the colors of the Seventh Regiment of his majesty's regulars, taken at Fort Chambly, as a visible token of Montgom ery's exploits at the northern outlet of Champlaln: and every added operation of the Americans, successful or unsuccess ful, added to tho feeling of Isolation and uneasiness among the British at Boston. October 10. 1775, Sir William Howe su perseded General Gage as commander-in-chief in the closely watched and invested town; but the change of commanders made little difference.

About Investing Money. The stock market is nervous and depressed at present by uncertainties regarding the war, but the man who goes short on the United States will go broke in the long run. When the best real estate and securities are on the bargain counter it is folly to buy unproductive property or se curities that do not and probably cannot pay in terest or dividends. Wise investors will leave the "wild cats" to the speculators and will put their 1 muiicy liuu somciiuug mai nas intrinsic value. It is better to keep money in a savings bank than to buy unproductive property or securities. More men grow rich through the tireless working of compound interest than by speculation in sub standard properties that look cheap. Interest and taxes eat up unproductive real estate so fast that the price has to double every eight years to equal the drain caused by holding it in idleness. Apply to Germany. If the beef packers, cotton planters, corn grow ers, copper smelters, dyestuff importers and others interested in the lifting of the existing embargoes on sea-borne trade should address their arguments to the German government they might accom plish something worth while. An extra session o! Congress called to authorize retaliatory measures would result in no betterment Not more restric tions are required, but the removal of the restric tions which have been, placed on commerce in futile efforts to thereby shorten the war. To the .Ger man assertion that Great Britain began the 'depre dations on neutral trade the answer is "that two wrongs do not make a right. German submarine retaliation for the British "hunger war" was a blunder. It has not injured Great Britain vitally, and has brought on Germany nothing but oblo quy; and it has paralyzed the efforts of this gov ernment to secure immunity for neutral com merce with unblockaded German and with aQj neutral ports. Philadelphia Record. ' Salmon P. Chase No Financier. (Written eiprselj for The Washlnrtfln Herald.) By DR. E. J. EDWARDS. On June 30. 1J63. the American Ex change National Bank, of New Tork City, which had been for nearly thirty years operated under a State charter, surrendered that charter and reorganized as a national bank. At that time Gcorgo S. Coe was. as he ha'd been for some years and was for thirty years later, president or the Institution. Mr. Coe was speaking some years ago to me of some of his experiences in civil war days, for he was much associated with efforts which the Secretary of the Treasury un der Lincoln, Salmon P. Chase, made in the early years of the war to secure gold which the government needed. Mc Coe also was occasionally Invited by Presi dent Lincoln to go to Washington to give the President the benefit of his advice. "It used to be said that Gov. Chase was no financier," said Mr. Coe, "but early in the civil war I learned that that was a mistaken Impression. I did learn, however, that President Lincoln had not the slightest conception of the general principle of finance and no knowledge at all of what banking methods were In that day. He confessed as much as this to me in one of our conversations, for ho said that he left everything of that kind to Gov. Chase, and did not propose to Interfere with the management of tho Treasury Department In any way. "Chase himself In the presence of sev eral bankers of New Tork. Including myself, said that he was no financier and then went on to make certain rec ommendations which made it clear to us that he was a very competent financier. "I remember so vlvldl- that I can repeat the precise words Chase used when he first met a little company of New Tork bankers In a room which Is over tho place where you and I are now sitting. We sat around a table and he was at the head near my chair. His great dignity of manner, his splendidly poised head, his earnestness and his wonderful capacity for clear statement, attracted all of us Instantly to him. And yet I observed one de fect In the course of the general con versation I made a humorous remark. Everybody laughed excepting Chase. He looked at me in a sort of bewildered way and I was compelled to say to him that I was only Joking. I then for the first time knew of the great defect In Chase's temperament, which was an utter lack of the sense of humor. That, I sup pose. Is one of the reasons why he never could understand President Lincoln, OPHELIA'S SLATE. "JSJ whose bump of humor was abnormally developed. Chase went on to make a statement to us. every sentence of which was as clear and understandable as the simplest sentence . in a child's primer; yet he was speaking of the necessity for securing JoO.OOO.OoO In gold. When ho finished speaking I knew that he would get that gold because his argument was Incontrcn enable and his plea of the necessity of the government was master ly. After he sat down he looked around from one to another of the bankers and he knew from the expression upon the faces of all of us that he would get that gold and he did. That was one of the historic moments associated with this bank." It was not until four years later that the bank surrendered Its State charter and began, as a new and national bank.
