STRAWS.

According to the first page today, President Wilson led over all In the Montana primaries. Vice President Marshall was paid a fine tribute in

that most of the voters of his party said that they wish him to be Mr. Wil son's ruTining matt,- again. The republican vote brings out some new •Ulterial, Henry Ford, Edward Woods of New Jersey, and Henry Esterbrook of New York. Mr. Ford is known in this community. Mr. Esterbrook has been heard of, but Mr Woods, most Terre Hauteans and Hoosiers generally will have to admit they do not know him. In Nebraska the results were of moro than ordinary Interest.

The Bryan element in the democratic primary was put to rout. The republican primary declared for Henry Ford for president.

If the result be accepted as indicative, one eminent peace-at-any-prico advocate is fast losing his personal following in his own state. If the result of the other primary be accepted, another equally prominent peace-at-any-price advocate is 1,i high favor with those expected to furnish the backbone of the opposition -^o President Wilson in the coming campaign.

That the same state on the same day should declare its faith in Ford and its lack of faith in Bryan." with the subject of preparedness uppermost in the popular mind, approaches the ridiculous. It is almost as unreasonable as that anyone shoulj think seriously of Ford for president. It does not matter that the two pacifists belong to opposite parties.

JThe Ford presidential boom has no more "respect for a "favorite son" than a- submarine has for a neutral vessel in European waters. It torpedoed Senator Smitl\ in Michigan, and now destroys Senator Cummins, favorite republican son of the middle western states. The Ford movement has now crossed the Mississippi. ilichigan, after voting for Ford, explained that it was a joke and planned as a boomerang ftv the grandiloquent Smith.

Nebraska's alibi his not yet been received.

DOING THEIR BIT.

A cable dispatch in the Tribune yesterday told how an Italian statesman had aroused his people by charging that England was not supporting the other allies, in that she refused to distribute her ships to expedite th^ movements of the armies of the allies. Such charges are piling up against Albion, and the crisis at home was never so acute.

The demand from France that England shall come to the rescue is now something more than a mere hint. It is openly voiced by the press and peo pie of France. Former Premier Clemenceau cries: "Asquith remains quiet and feeds u? with words'. This cannot continue longer." Baron d'Estournelles de Constant tells Englishmen that they are not making shells as rapidly as they should. "The Englishman lies abed mornings," he says.

England is active now only in one particular. In the throttling of neutral commerce she is wide awake. Anything that helps British commeJ^e and cripples commercial rivals is c^,re fully attended 'to.

Now Premier Asquith is confronted by members of his own cabinet, who see that England cannot continue longer to play a double role with her allies. Lloyd George and Lord Curzon, the two strongest men in the cabinet, threaten to resign if compulsory service for all men of military age is not immediately put into effect. Lord Kitchener also favors conscription, as does the chief of staff, Gen. Sir. William Robertson. Sir Edward Carson, who resigned from the cabinet because

of Asquith's timidity on the question of recruiting, is waiting to vess his resolution providing for universal compulsory military service.

HOW "PEACE" WORKS.

It would be interesting just how to hear Mr. Bryan or Mir. Ford explain the dilemma of Greece, which is undergoing somewhat the same experience as Belgium without the slaughter.

Totally disregarding the status of Greece as a neutral nation, the French and British commanders at Saloniki have determined to transport 150,000 Serbian soldiers across Greek territory from Corfu to Salonikl.

The voyage by sea from the Ionian island to the Gulf ,of Saloniki is long and dangerous, for German, Turkish and Austrian submarines are known to be watching the Greek coasts. To reduce this danger to a minimum, the allies propose to use the Greek railroad from Patras through Athens to Volo. The Greek government positively forbids the use of the railroad, and the allies positively announce their intention of using it. Moreover, they threaten reprisals if they are interfered with.

Meanwhile the central powers have informed Athens that the transportation of the Serbian army across Greek territory will be regarded as an unfriendly act. The statement is definite and unmistakable.

In brief, if Greece attempts to prevent the use of the railroads she is in imminent danger of war with the allies. If she permits the use of the roads she Is threatened with war by Germany.

Neutral opinion may well hold with the German contention. The presence of allies at Saloniki is in reality a breach of neutrality, but the French and British excuse is the Sertp-Greek treaty which bound Greece to Serbia when Serbia was attacked by the Bulgars. Greece did not live up to this treaty, and the allies at Saloniki claim to be fulfillng Greece's obligations for her. On the basis of this contention the Greeks have not objected to the occupation of Saloniki,'and the central powers have not forced the

lBsue.

But the transportation of a belligerent army across Greece, as proposed now by the allies, differs very little from the German proposition to cross Belgium.

The opening gun of the campaign appears to have been fired by the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, which s&yd: "The New .York Tribune announces itself for Roosevelt, but its real choice is King George."

Bachelor lawbreakers outnumber married ones by more than two to one, reports the New York district attor ney. Why not try marrying a criminal instead of putting him in jail?

A new musical show lias been produced in London in which there is not a man on the stage. America has seen that sort, lots of times—and with male choruses, too.

One of the things the English lan guage can do is exemplified by a popular science magazine which announces the invention of a "b.'cycle with five wheels."

THIS GREAT STORY STARTS IN THE TRIBUNE, MONDAY, APRIL 24

Richard Harding Davis BY MAX KHRMAMN.

The death of Richard Harding Davis last week was a shock because, somehow, the world that read his books fancied him still young. And so he was. He died at an age after which many writers have done their best work. He had been for twenty-five years a prominent figure in the magazines and in the book stores among the best sellers. l:i his early youth he had a magnificent arrogance, which no doubt helped him and only amused others.

It seems brutal to judge a man's writings so soon after his death. .But if Richard Harding Davis is not judged now, he never will be because he did not write for any time but his own. When his books at the libraries are worn out or fall apprt, they will not be replaced and in ien years his name will be unknown even to literary aspirants. He did, however, have a powerful influence on American writers. He is the literary father of a large number of authors who produce, in ever increasing numbers, the books in which the heroes are young, handsome, rich e.nd famous, and the heroines beautiful, young, and rich. Whenever he w:rote of the poor, or of persons who were not "society," he looked down upon them as from a great eminence —never as Dickens did, as from among them.

He was the idea.' writer of the ro­

mantic girl and the adventuresome boy., Some of his plots were a reai enough, but the decoration, the trimming, the atmosphere, were all of the world of his own highly perfumed brain, and not at all of the rough and rugged world, of real things. That is the sort of writing that has brought home the money in this generation. We have dozens of scr!bbiers engaged in it still, and ws shaU have as long as many persons are amused by that sort of thing And why shouldn't they be amused by that sort of thing, when they are that sort of persons? The cheap romantic society novel is on a par with many other mentally and morally cheap amusements of oun time, and persons who read them are only frientall.v and morally cheap romantic persons, who could or would not read anything else.

As a war correspondent Richard Harding Davis had, no doubt, an eminent reputation. And if he has any entrance into even the dimmest, antichamber of the house of fame, it

STITES ASSESSED FINE.

"My age is against me to ever get cured, but Foley Kidney Pills do me more good than anything I ever tried." Many people suf-: fer from kidney trouble who need not suffer when they can get Foley Kidney Pills. Mr. Jones in a later letter says if it was not for them he would never be able to work in the hay field. Rheumatism, aching back, snooting painSj stiff joints, all have been relieved.
