Our Haitian Responsibility The preoccupation of the powers with their struggle in Europe probably gives the United States a free hand in the serious Haitian crisis. We ought to use it, and with vigor. The breach of asylum is a grave offense, an intolerable insolence which, the Haitians should be taught, and by us. cannot be allowed to pass without due punishment. France may not be disposed in her present situation to act. We ought to act for her and civilization. If we do not, we may be sure the Monroe

doctrine and our hegemony in the Caribbean will be compromised by our neglect to fulfill our responsibilities. Haiti would be an extremely valuable base for France or Germany, and no more respectable excuse for. laying hold of it could be desired than the violation of an embassy, with perhaps the wounding or death of a foreign representative. If revolutionists are encouraged by our complacency in Mexico to believe they may run riot through any or all the Caribbean republics, sooner or later, and not much later we shall find an European squadron in that part of the world, to remain there until we are ready and able to expel it. It may be irksome to play the role of policeman, but we would better make up our mind to play it well rather than as we are now playing it, half-heartedly and spasmodically. " When the European war is over there will be in all probability an intensification of colonial ambitions and a complication of relations in which events like the Haitian violence .may entangle us even to the extremity of war. There will be a heavy account to meet in Mexico and perhaps elsewhere, and we shall not be able then to play the comfortable passive role we have chosen. If we are wise we shall get a better control over events in Central America and the Caribbean than we have now, and' get it while we are comparatively free from interference. Chicago Tribune.

FRIENDS DELEGATES HEAR ROSS HADLEY AT WINONA SESSION

Wilbur " K. Thomas of Cambridge, Mass., addressed the national conference of the Young Friends of America at Winona Lake, Ind., last night on the theme, "Spiritual Efficiency," outItning the means Friends of today must uee In order to attain the high plane of spirituality and close communion with God. which he said has .always been the essential teaching and aim of the society. "Until the Friends of today are able to attain that high standard of religious living, that honesty of life and thought which our forefathers who wore plain coats and plain bonnets, and who left their farm work to attend the Fifthday meeting, attained, then we have no right to belittle even the plain clothes, the plain language and the Puritan standards of honesty which them respected and honored before the world, and which gave them such a high spiritual efficiency." He went on to pont out how strong, healthy minds and bodies are elements in even spiritual efficiency, and must be accordingly cared for. The discussion in the open forum upon "Friends Duty to Missions," was led by Edward Wood of Philadelphia and Ross Hadley, assistant secretary of the mission board of the Five Years

meeting of Friends. They pointed out the duty of Friends, in spreading the Gospel everywhere, even as Christ

commanded, and outlined the fact that

only by giving ourselves unstintingly to the work would we be able to retain that vigor and virulence for which very denomination should strive. Catherine Jones of Philadelphia and Esthtr Balderstron, each in turn addresses the conference, emphasibing the great value of missionary work in the church. Both of thee women expect to go into the foreign field soon. WILLIAM HATFIELD.

Some Fields Normal Odd as It may seem, there are places in this country which have not had an excess of rain this season. Listening to many farmers tell it, one would imagine that all fields were either under water or the wheat and oats so badly "down" that cutting them is impossible. Observations of crop observers, however, point to some really bright conditions in many places. All the wheat is not gone and a comparatively small part of the oats will go uncut. - Crop Statistician B. W. Snow is one of the fellows who believes a good wheat yield is going to be had, and he's not unduly pessimistic over the oats, either. - , Snow says the Indications are for a larger winter wheat crop than shown by the government July 1 report. While thrashing is later than usual, he says yields per acre are larger than the July 1 report indicated. Excess is apparent in all the winter wheat states of importance, especially in Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska, with smaller Increases in Illinois and Kansas. Snow says It would seem that the actual yield of winter wheat per acre may range a considerable fraction of a bushel above previous indications. Let's cheer up! It's going to cease raining. It always does.

A Man and His Wife

Kiss Detector New Invention

STOYESTOWN, Pa., July 30. A real inventor Is j6shua Conkling Reeves, who lives In Shade township. He has three pretty daughters. "This," said he, in demonstrating the invention, "is my latest contraption. For a long time I have known that there was too much kissin' goin' cn when them girls of mine had their fellows here Sunday nights. But I could not ketch them at it, so I jist rigged up this little machine, and now I know a thing or two." So saying, Joshua pulled from the

card partition between the parlor and

the dtnine room of his home "a con

traption" that looked like a pine knot

It was a network of wires and there

was a little drumlike contraption.

"I call this a resonator," said Joshua. "It ketches and increases sound. When there Is any kissin' goin' on in the parlor the sound floats

through this machine and I hear it all

It gets much louder over here. Jist common kissin'-goln' on the cheek or neck sounds like a train going over

Turkey Foot Crossin. and long, hug

ging kisses are like the winds blowin'

in November. Lip smacking and good

night kissin sounds line a connon

fchot."

WOMAN WINS FAME

WITH WAR STATUE

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31. Working quite unheralded and unknown in

ber Russian Hill studio in San Fran

cisco, Mrs. Lydia Gibson Mestre, a young sculptress and poet, who has recently come to the exposition city from New York, has just completed the first work directly Influenced by

the great conflict in Europe which has been attempted here. The tragic bust which Mrs. Mestre is about to have cast for exhibition is called "The War Bride," an expresses simply but poigpantly the loss and tragedy that war means to women. Simply the bowed head of a young peasant woman with work-worn hands propping her stricken face; It is the face that tells the

story.

With the exhibition of the bust it

develops that Mrs. Mestre is a "feminist" through and through. She is on the executive board of the Feminist Alliance of New York, an organization which initiated the fight against the New York school board on behalf of the teacher-mother. Mrs. Mestre, though young in years, has other solid accomplishments behind her. After studying two years with Bourdelle in Paris, she exhibited in the 1912 Paris Salon and last winter in New York.

FRANCE TO OFFER BOUNTY ON BABIES

BERLIN, July 31. The decrease of the population of France is rapidly becoming more serious problem for th republic than the war. According to statistics published by Swiss newspapers the number of births which was about 1,000 per day before the war has

dropped to less than 400. At the same time, as a result of the war, the death rate has increased so enormously that all French provinces are threatened with depopulation. The decrease, according to careful calculations amount to about 4,000 per day. There is great danger, that France will not recover from this awful loss after the war, because the bitrh rate has not been normal even in time of peace for many years. Prof. Noulet of the University of Geneva is firmly convinced that the population of the French republic will be less than thirty millions in 1925. This fear is shared by many of the French scientists and all kinds of theories and plans are advanced to stop the decline of the nation. The most original proposition so far has been made by Dr. Charles Richet. In a pessimistic article this famous sociologist advises the eovernment-to buy ba

bies.' He thinks that parents should

be paid one thousand francs for every rhiirt horn to them, and will submit a

bill to this effect to parliament. Ac

cording to his . idea the thousand francs should be paid in four install

ments, at birth and after two, five and ten years, if the children are alive at that time. He confidently expects that bis scheme will greatly stimulate the birth rate and predicts that France mav have a population of eighty mil

lions in thirty years, if his plan is carried out.

That the embalming of a corpse is the only infallible means by which a person can be adjudged dead is the opinion of Theodore Hunt, who dis

counted all other tests which are often times used to ascertain life or death in a body. "You often hear of cases of suspended animation and doubt is raised as to whether the person buried Is absolutely dead," said Mr. Hunt, "but the laws are such and the tendency is such that practically all corpses are in these days embalmed, which is the

only certain' means of proving death. In embalming, an Incision is made in an artery and if the blood is moving, there remains life, but if it has ceased the body is lifeless. "Such tests as holding a match or

candle to the big toe of the body to see if.it will blister or charr, the sticking of a needle point in some vital part of the body to see if it will remain bright or turn a bluis'a color, or the holding of a mirror or feather to the mouth, are not infallible. Not only scientists but physicians and undertakers have disproved them."

MAKES OWN PRISON.

MONTPELIER, July 31. Deputy Sherif Dan Davis of this city is planning today to build a prison of his own. He says he will be warden, turnkey, cook, guard and the whole works in general. Davis come to this decision when the police refused to let him into the city calaboose. Davis, an ex-prizefighter and a dry worker, caarges that the police are wet sympathizers. He arrested Charles Foreman, charged with intoxication and took him to the calaboose. He 'found the prison locked and had to release his prisoner.

BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER. When Isabel Hamilton on ber walk up town, reached the Fifty-ninth street entrance to Central Park she went in. unthinkingly, and continued her solitary ,. promenade.' She was scarcely conscious of where she was going except that she was on her way home and that she was so unhappy that she wished to be alone. She felt this afternoon as if she must reorganize her life. Yet how could she do it? Well, she would find some -way to make the most of what was left to her. For one thing, she would not be deceived again by her husband's talk on economy. She would ask him boldly for money for such dresses as she needed. If he could take another worn an out to luncheon he , could give his own wife some of the dainties which she craved. v . She had strolled off upon a by-path when 6he was roused from her reverie by some one behind her speaking her name. Turning, she faced David Duval. He was laughing and slightly out of breath. "I thought it was you I saw cross the road back here!" he exclaimed. "I caught a glimpse of you Just before you disappeared around that shrubbery, and I gave chase, but I did not like to advance too rapidly for fear the lady might not be you and I might be accused of following the wrong person. How do you do!" His head was bare and his eyes sought hers eagerly. As he stood thus, flushed and smiling. Isabel found him good to look at. It was evident that he liked her very much. Her sore heart stirred at the thought. Here, at least, was a man who considered her attractive. This knowledge was a balm to her wounded pride. T am mighty glad to see you," she said, with a frankness that surprised and pleased him. "You were going so fast that I thought perhaps you were running away from somebody," he teased. "Only from my own blues and disagreeable musings," she told him. "Well, I am not much of a companion, but perhaps you will find my company as agreeable as the blues." he said with a whimsical smile. "May I walk to your destination with you? or will I be a nuisance?" "I would' be very glad to have you," she assured him. "I am tired of my own society, of myself, of almost everything and everybody." She spoke bitterly, and as he fell into step beside her he scrutinized her face keenly. There was a rebellious expression that told this student of human nature that matters were not well with her. She did not attempt to walk fast now, but sauntered slowly along the sheltered path. Duval Sympathizes With Her Trouble.

"You are tired, Duvai ainrmea. "Would you like to sit down on a bench for a few minutes?" "I don't care," she replied. Yet she followed his suggestion as they reached an unoccupied bench at the side of the walk. He took his seat beside her and again removed his hat. "The weather is unreasonably warm," he observed. "The first genu

ine Spring days take tne strengm from one and are often depressing.

This may account for your 'blues' as you call them." "No," she denied. "There's no use in my pretending that the weather has aanything to do with my present state of spirits. I suppose that I should have the pride to agree with your kind remarks but somehow I haven't." He had never seen her in this mood, and he suspected that something un

usual had happened to distum ner. His suggestion that her depression had been caused by the sudden change of weather had been but an experiment, a "feeler," on his part. He had wanted to know if there was something tangible troubling her. Now he knew. He was not aware Just what was the cause of her unhappiness, but he was sure he could make a shrewd guess. "Mrs. Hamilton," he ventured, "do not think me officious but If there Is anything about which I could help you please believe enough in my friendship to put it to the test." "Thank you!" she said. Her lips twitched, but she was dry-eyed. She was in that perilous state of mind for a married woman when she resents her husband's treachery and yearns for somebody to be good to her. "You are very kind," she said tremulously, "but there is nothing that you or anyone else can do to help me. I know

you would be glad to be of service if yon could be. But you can't." .-" "Not of tangible service, perhaps," he corrected. "But I can give you all of my friendship and sympathy that you will take. Remember what I said to you last evening about my longing for such a friend as you. That longing increases .with each passing day grows stronger each time I see you. You may resent my saying this, but out of the abundance of the heart the mouth must sometimes speak. And forgive me if I am unwarrantably presumptuous but . it hurts me to see you unhappy and you cannot be unhappy without my knowing it and feeling it." What an understanding person he was, she thought. Every word he spoke made her pain less. It was as if he were telling her that although John the man for whom she had sacrificed so much, the man to whom she bad given her love did not care for her and preferred another woman, there was some one who did care, some one to whom her happiness was of supreme moment. Yet she- was a married woman; it was not proper, she reminded herself, for her to. accept another man's devotion while she was John's wife unless, of course, she was certain that John had stopped caring for her. She dare not let her thoughts run wild in this way any longer. She started to her feet. He Walks by Her Side to Her Home. "Come!" she exclaimed. "It is getting late, and I must be going home." Duval fell into step beside ber again, and together they walked toward the oarriage read leading to the Seventy-second street entrance of the Park. As they reached the road they paused to allow a line of vehicles to pass. As a taxicab came abreast of them Isabel started violently. In the cab sat John Hamilton and Adelaide Simmons, both so deep in conversation that neither of them saw Isabel or her companion. To Be Continued. More than two-thirds of the gold now in use in the world was discovered during the last fifty years.
