Eighty Old Regulars
From Franklin
Franklin, La , Sept. 29,—In an in
terview, Dr. T. F. Frere, Postmaster
and ex-officio, a recruiting officer,
stated that he had enlisted over eigh
ty white men to date in the Regular
A;my, the Coast Guard, the Naw,
and the Marines.
"Franklin has made a very good
showing. A record of eighty odd
white men in a community of 5,000,
when one considers the number who
have independently joined the Na
tional Guard and the other branches
of the service; and the number
the draft contingents, is very good
indeed," Dr. Frere explained to
__representative of the REVIEW.
I Dr. Frere was appointed Postmas
ter by President Wilson in 1917 and,
I under his administration of affairs,
1 the Franklin office has become a
model of its kind throughout the
; State, in both personnel and equip
ment. He is not only skilled as a
j phvsician, but is a business man of
rare insight and unquestionable ex
ecu'ive ability.

FAMOUS SEA NAMES REVIVED
in
a
a
Rechristening of Seized German Ves
sels Recalls Ships That Brought
Glory to Merchant Marine.
The shipping board has adopted the
suggestion that the sailing vessels
nmong the German refugee ships
which the government took over as a
war measure be given names from the
list of famous vessels of the clipper
ship era. These ships, barks and
schooners were seized on the Pacific
coast. Five of them, now put in serv
ice, are renamed Northern Light, Red
Jacket, Game Cock, Flying Cloud and
Dreadnaught.
Those old ships made the American
merchant marine famous in the period
preceding the Civil war. The German
vessels are probably nothing like them
In appearance, and could not match
such winged witches as the Red
Jacket, Flying Cloud and others in a
race around the Horn, or between New
York and Liverpool. However, flying
the American flag, commanded by
American skippers and manned by
American crews
very likely, not
from the old Yankee stock that ruled
the seas in the clipper days—the Stein
bck. Dalhek. Vinner. Ottawa and Kurt
will try to live up to their new names.
It is too had if. as appears from the
spelling In the dispatch from 'Washing
ton. the shipping hoard has followed
the navy department in spelling
"dreadnaught" with an "a" instead of
an "o." Secretary Daniels made that
change soon after he became the civil
bird of the fleet. In the common mean
ing. the dictionary may prefer "dread
naught" to "dreadnought." though both
are perfectly good usage. Rut there is
no warrant at all for the former spell
ing in the only sense in which a secre
tary of the navy has official use for the
term.
The British battleship, the original
ity of which gave the name to this type
of naval architectnre. was the Dread
nought. and except by our navy depart
ment that Is always the spelling when
the type Is referred to. As for the fa
mous old clipper ship her name, em
phatically. was Dreadnought. In a free
country anybody may spell to suit him
self. But to call that German ship
"Dreadnnught" fs not renaming her
for the historic American clipper. It
Is simply confirming orthographical dic
tum.—Providence Journal.

Influence of the Time«.
Literary modes are like the modes
of fashion. True, literature repre
sents the great Issues occupying the
minds of the people. Not always,
however, does It so represent the In
terests of the age; for example, the
romanticism of the period following
the French revolution and periods of
the same kind In ancient times, says ;
the Columbia State. The Greek thought
produced Aristotle, but Aristotle had
something to do with It himself. The
followers of Aristotle followed the ex- ■
ample of a great man. Such fashions
have at all times been characteristic
of literature. Or take the present age.
Is the literature of the age dictated by
a Zeitgeist? Only vaguely can one as
sert that It is so. With the war, how
ever. there came in new interests and
dangers which have affected man. The
condition was made by man and one
assertion by someone brings down an
other so that while, figuratively, the
times may be said to be speaking, the
men are simply following a fashion.
If Zeitgeist is important in determining
thought, the spirit surely was for dis
armament and peace, for such was the
spirit of leaders of thought. However,
other individuals thinking otherwise
had larger followings and the political
power to wield that influence, and the
war was the result.

He Refused a Peerage.
David Alfred Thomas, the man who
has charge of British munitions pur
chases in the United States and Can
ada, under Lloyd-GeoFge, Is sixty-one
years old. He has refused a peerage,
has fought for an eight-hour working
day for British miners, long before the
matter became a political question,
and is one of the few men of high
finance that Is beloved by his work
men. "D. A.," as be Is known In Eng
land, Is one of the largest coal opera
tors In the world. A few years ago he
organized the Cambrian coal combine,
one of the most powerful combinations
In Britain. He was born at Monmouth
shire, in Wales, March 26, 1866, the
son of a wealthy colliery owner. H«
was educated at Cambridge, where he
won academic honors. He began work
with a pick In the mines and was a
clerk in his father's office. He en
tered parliament representing a large
mining constituency, and served for 20
years.
Law Regulating Germa.
New York state has a new law
regulating the possession of disease
germs by scientists and experimenters.
All laboratories and experimenters
must take out a state permit before
propagating, possessing, handling or
dealing In any germs of deadly ail
ments. The purpose is to prevent
gerins falling Into the hands of pei>
sons likely to use them for mnliclous
or murderous purposes, and to keep
track of all such media of disease In
the state.
Practical Enough.
"I certainly got a shock yesterday,"
confided the broker to a friend. "A
young man telegraphed me from
Maine that he had married my young
est daughter."
"Great heavens!" returned the oth
er. "Well, all yon can hope for now
Is that he may tarn out to be a prac
tical business man."
"Oh," interrupted father, "I guess
he's practical enough. He sent his
message 'collect'"
