HISTORY REPEATING
ITSELF IN THE WAR
(By Gertrude E. Mullette.)
Tlie saying that "History repeats:
Itself" has become rather hackneyed.1
but there are several Interesting Inci
dents of the European war which may
be cited in this connection. Many of
the cable dispatches tell of incidents
which happened In duplicate centuries
and even thousands of years ago.
In the traditions of Ancient Rome
no more heroic feat stands out than |
that attributed to Horatlus Codes who
held the advancing Etrusoans back
until the Roman forces could cut down
the Sublician bridge over the Tiber.!
and so prevent the foe from sacking
the city. Tbis feat was duplicated in
the autumn of 1914 by a Scottish sol
dier. A party of 150 men, guarding
a bridge across the Aisne, were fired
upon by a strong force of Germans.
In an unprotected spot a machine gun
was standing silent on its tripod in |
the middle of a ring of fallen soldiers.i
A lone Highlander, wearing the cos
tume of the Gordons, jumped from
his shelter, grabbed the gun, swung
it over his back and ^dashed across j
the bridge, faced the Germans, and
turned loose a rain of bullets. The
enemy wavered, broke, and scatter to
cover. Almost at the instant the tide
was turned tne Highlander fell over
dead. Thirty bullet wounds' were:
found in his body.
Even more interesting linking the
present with the past Is the manner
in which suspected German spies are
put to the test by the French. Many
out of these have been shot when
i there was no really definite proof
that they were not French citizens.
"But." says a letter received from
France, "it is claimed that no Ger
man tongue can ever produce certain
French words without betaraying its
Teuton origin. It is the failure to
pass tests of this kind which con
demn."
More than three thousand years
ago. exactly the same tests were ap
plied. The story is told in the Bible,
in the 12th chapter 6f the Book of
Judges:
"And the Gileadltes took the pass
ages before the Ephriaraites: And it
was so, that when those Ephriamites
which were escaped said. Let me go
over.: that the men of Gilead said un
to him. Art thou an Ephriamiate?
If he said Nay; then they said unto
him. Say new Shibboleth: and lie said
Bibboletli. for he could not frame to
pronounce it right. Then they took
him at the passages of Jordan; and
there fell at that time of the Eprriam
itcs forty and two thousand."
APRIL GREAT MONTH

Trading in stocks on the New York
Stock Exchange for April was the

PEW GOOD HITTERS
BEING DEVELOPED;
Near the end of the training season
In a palatial cafo that is known to the
home folks of Marlln, Texas, us "The |
Greasy Spoon"s sat John McGraw. the
manager of the New York giants, with
his kitchen cabinet, Sinister Dick Kln
sella and Dr. Frank Finlay, keeping'
him company. As ho sat thore in;
"The Greasy Spoon" idly exploring a
bowl of chill con carne with a restless
ladle, John .McGraw discoursed in a
querulous tone, it had been a hot day
and John L. McGraw was weary from
his exertions of tho morning and after
noon and from looking at some of his
recruits.
"They Just naturally don't hit like
they used to?ball players don't," he
complained. "I've often heard that
said by old-timers and I dld't pay a
lot of attention to it, but it's a fact.!
The fellows who are coming into the
game nowadays are simply not there
with the good old slam. Maybe I'm
getting a little antique myself, but I
can prove what I say about the figures
Don't talk to me about changed con
ditions. either. It isn't in the condi
tions,? it's in tho men.
"I can't get young ball players to
stand up into the plate and wade into
tho pitching anymore. Once in a long
while a fellow will come in who does
it as a matter of sheer Instinct, but
that kind are mighty few and far
between. Certainly it can't be taught.
I talk by the hour to my youngsters?
to follows who ought to be great hit
ters?but the next time they get up
to the plate you see them pulling
away and trying to kick over the wa
ter bucket.
"That's the trouble?they pull clear
away. They seem to be afraid of get
ting .hit. and they don't have the fac
ulty of getting hit without getting
hurt.
LOOK til II!U ^rt'Ul Hlblt'l 9 wc uovu iv
have. They didn't hit well one year,
and poorly the next. They hit con
sistently all the time.
"Why, even now, with my batting
eye as dim as the sunlight we have
been hanging around hero latoly, I
can still wade Into somo of the pitch
ing you sec those days without fear
of getting soaked, and you can't get
youngsters to do it. They could im
prove on their batting if they would?
fifty to one hundred per cent?if they
would only walk into the pitching, but
they keep pulling and pulling and pull
ing until they get clear back to the
bench.

BIG BUSINESS HEAD
SAYS BUSINESS IS FINE
?
BOSTON, The executive head of
one of the country's largest corpora
tions and a man in touch with gener
al business conditions throughout the!
country says:
"I regard the present splurge or
boom, or whatver you may call it. as
a reaction based upon the "primary
reason that the underlying conditions
of the country were never better than
they are at present."?(Boston News

ROOT'S CHANCES
DIED WITH ALDRICH
Whatever hopes the reactionary ele
ment of the Republican party had of
nominating Kllhu Hoot for President
next year were blasted with the sud
don death of former Senator Nelson
W. Aldrieh. This Is the viow 0f poll
tlcal observers in the national capital.
It is only two months since Aldrieh
who was closely connected with big
business by the marriage of his
daughter to John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
came to Washington on his private
yucht and told the old guard here ?
who formerly aided him In control of
the legislature that the Republican
party must nominate Root.
When there were some protests
that Root would meet tho fato of
Taft through the opposition of the
Progressives, he waved them aside,
and. with the Imporlousncss that char
acterized his domination of tho Senate
; for so many years, declared that lie
had decided Root was the man to
name.
It was following this Aldrieh de
cree. news of which has leaked out
only since his death, that adherents
of the reactionary crowd began to
give impetus to the Root boom. The
movement was not pleasing to the
boosters of Burton, Borah, Knox and
others who are angling for tho g. o.
p. nomination, but they learned, ap
parently, to brook the anger of Al
drieh.
Aldrich's death. It Is blleved hero,
will materially weaken the Root sen
timent, although there are those who
predict that the former New York
Senator and Cabinet officer will stop
into the shoes of the Rhode Island
man and dictate the will of the rcac-1
tionarics, cither in his own behalf or
in the interest of some candidate of
his choosing.? (Washington corres
pondence in St. Bonis Republic.)
