The Visit of King Albert America will extend a warm greeting to King Albert of Belgium who has sailed to this country with Queen Elizabeth and Crown Prince Leopold. Belgium has a warm spot in the heart of America. The heroic resistance of the nation, led by its dauntless king, to the march of tyranny, its suffering under oppression and its manifest desire to arise from its ruins greater and better, all appeal strongly to the American spirit. This nation is not given to undue and unbecoming adulation of royalty. Its democratic instincts oppose all manifestations of king worship, but its spirit of fair play permits it to recognize valor and manhood in all stations of life. For that reason it will welcome Belgium's royalty with cordiality and warmth and extend to it a gracious greeting. King Albert is coming to America to thank the republic for its generosity to Belgium in the dark hours, for its manifestation of good will, and its sympathetic spirit for the sufferers of that nation. He is not coming to press the theory of an exalted belief in the divine right of kings, but rather to express the thanks of a real king to a free people for their support in an hour when he and his people fought and bled to prevent the establishment of tyranny. The American people will be glad to have King Albert pay a visit to our country and will fhow him every mark of respect and honor. We have no kings and royalty, and do not want them, but we do have a respect for a member of the royalty who is big Enough and manful enough to fight against a royal system that reduced sacred treaties to scraps of paper and believed that might is right. We will honor him for his willingness to fight against tyrannical might and for the freedom of his people. He proved himself a

man in the fateful hour when he might have sold; the honor of his nation for immunity from destruction, lie preferred to lead his nation to death rather than to accept the alternative of a base surrender without a fight for the principle j

he knew squared with justice and honor. The Passoniate Patriots The exploit of Gabriele D'Annunzio, writer of

urUtlU puH,y ilUU SUiUiH m Lilt: gicai, vai, in v-up-turingf Fiume at the head of a band of irregular Italian soldiers, and driving out the small British and French forces, is one more amazing incident in a hectic period. One of the results of the war is a crop of paspionate patriots. These arc the men who lose their mental balance, their sense of proportion, in the feverish obsession that unless they do something of a bold and desperate character, their country will be shamed and most outrageously put upon. The almost frantic manner in which these flaming spirits leap to the defense of Honor is a bit theatrical. Always there are plenty of followers for such as these the appeal is elemental. We know. Once in a while in our own country we see something like it, when an exponent of the myg.Mwd school of politics flashes on to the stage before us, and then off again. Mr. D'Annunzio will cool off one of these days, when some firm, unemotional person in authority grasps him firmly by the collar and leads him out of the limelight. His less turbulent countrymen,

in responsible positions, are not so anxious to flout and insult friendly governments, even though they would like Fiume for Italy. If the world is to get settled, and stay that way, each nation will have to repress its selfish ambitions in some measure. In doing so, it must

restrain its passionate patriots, who are apt tcf

prove very real nuisances.

( Jhe Salaries Paid to Ministers Poorly paid Baptist ministers who have been forced to go into debt for the necessities of life received a word of cheer the other day when the general board of promotion announced that it had taken steps to increase their pay. The Rev. Charles A. McAlpine of the national committee of Northern Baptist Laymen contends that the salary of every Baptist minister who receives

less than 52,000 a year should be raised 50 per

cent. Clergymen as a class belong to the poorest paid profession in the country. Members of the laity often can see where relief should be granted elsewhere but are blind to the needs of their own pastors. They take too literally the dictum that the Lord will provide, forgetting that He provides through agencies and also announced that a laborer is worthy of his hire. Many clergymen have been hard pressed in the last two years to make ends meet on the salaries paid them. Although most of their parishoners have received increased wages, many pastors are struggling along on their old salaries and

finding it extremely difficult to pay their bills. A number of denominations have realized the injustice of the situation and are taking steps to remedy it. The Baptists are only doing the just thing when they increase salaries so that their pastors need not worry constantly about the necessities of life. Other church organizations are giving serious consideration to the problem. Boston Efficiency We read a truly remarkable statement in regard to the efficiency of the Massachusetts state troops in Boston when they took hold following the decision of most of the police to desert their posts. After order had been restored and the thugs and crooks had been taught who was boss, daily violations of the law were reduced to only seven per cent of normal. Think of that! For fourteen infractions in normal times under police rule, there was only one under the regime of the vigilant lads in khaki. This whole Boston incident is mighty consoling to lovers of order and a Republican form of government, as opposed to terrorism. Evidently the Hansons and the Coolidges are plentiful enough to protest the peaceful majority against the mad minorities, and as for the guardsmen, they seem to be just as plucky and capable as their brothers who smashed the German lines in France. We like to believe that union workers in Boston are also glad that the troops put such a quick finish to lawlessness. They do not like sneak thieves and purse snatchers any more than do the rest of us.

Wages Without Work

w

From the New York Sun.

HEX coal miners propose, with still higher

wages, a work day of fix hours for only five days a week they propose at the sarin; time

broad lines and soup houses for American labor. CY-al is one of the basic factors in the cost of all manufacturing. It i one of the basic factors in the cost of r.griruUural production and distribution. It is one of tho ba::ic factors in the whole schema of civilized exist

ence. Coal plays an important economic part not merely in 1 he power which drives the textile factory, the shoe factorv, ttie hardware plant, the thousand and one industries which go to supply American needs. Coal is a big economic item in the cost of the machinery which expends the power, in the cost of the machinery which makes the unfinished cloth and the finished clothes, which makes the unfinished leather and the finished shoes, which makes from tho beginning to the end of the process the various and varied articles of consumption which one hundred million population requires to satisfy its wants. Coal is one of tho basic factors in the cost of production of wheat and corn and cotton, because It is one of tho basic factors in the cost of ploughs and harrows and reapers and other agricultural implements. Coal plays an important economic part not merely in supplying the motive power of the railroads which transport at high charges our national supplies; it is one of i be basic factors in the cost of the rails on the ties, the cars on the rail-, the locomotives drawing the trains, the bridges across vhich they pass and the terminals where they take and leave their passengers and freight. Coal therefore is one of the basic factors in the cost of every bit of bread and butter that goe3 intothe mouth, of every stitch that goes upon the back of every man, woman and child in the United States.

When living cost3 already are higher than the American people can patiently endure, when costs of farming, of building, of doing business, of performing service already are so high that they are all but prohibitive, coal miners with their proposal of thirty hours of work a week meaning unfailingly a heavy reduced volume of production and correspondingly increased cost of production, not merely In the coal fields but in all fields simply propose to put general capital out of business and general wage earners out of Jobs. This country can't go on doing business at Inordinately rising costs that automatically deadlock the wheels of Industry. Labor can't go on receiving pay envelopes when the shutters of mills and factories must go up. And if the manufacturer can't sell his products and the wage earner can't keep his Job the farmer can't sell his products for lack of earnings to buy when bread lines are springing up as payrolls fade away. In the labor federation convention In Lyons last Thursday A. Merriham, secretary of the Metal Workers' '.Tnion, long one of the most aggressive labor leaders In France, aroused a storm of approval by denouncing men who want to make or pretend they can make this earth a heaven without work. He declared that what labor needed today was to get to work. Any honest man with a level head can add for him that without work, and plenty of it, this earth can become only a hell. Here In the United States, when wild men are talking about doubling and trebling their wages without working for them, when unscrupulous men are urging their fellows to embrace national starvation by abandoning production, some sane, fearless labor leader Is going to stand up and tell the workers of this country the samo truths as Merriham is telling the French, or the American people are going to launch a thunderbolt against false teachers and blind guides who would annul the right, the duty and the necessity of mankind to live by york, it 1

IBANEZ Vicente Blasco Tbanez was born In Valencia. Spain, In January, 1887. the son of a proprietor of a dry goods shop. He attended the University of alencla and received a degree In law. II was against the established order from his college days. As a result he received the first of a series of imprisonments when he was 18 for a

sonnet against the government, lie has passed periods of exile at Paris and in Italy, alternating with stays In prison. One of his protests was against the measures pursued by tho government ia suppressing the Cuban insurrection. He founded a republican newspaper, of which he was editor, reporter and reviewer. He established a publishing: house to Introduce to Spain the great works of European literature at popular prices; this was but one of the attempts he has made sometimes at the risk of his life, to bring: his country Into the current of modern thought. Ho was elected to the Cortes, and become the leader of his party. He devotes his time at present entirely to literature. In his novels he began In the usual Spanish way with pictures of local provincial life with, the types and the pictures of which he was familiar. Hut he deals not merely with pictures; his stories all have an object In whlchr their strenuous author is greatly Interested. He lacks restraint, his passion for Independence Is without bounds, he carries his admiration for tho realism of Zola to limits which shock our more restrained habit of mind, but despite the opposition which lie has encountered - at home and abroad, the author of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" Is rapidly becoming one of the most widely read of living writers.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

ON DEFEATING DEFEAT. It's the way yon look at things, after alL Life's finest things are what you see, what you reach out for, and what you experience by way of th most difficult route not what you dream about and regret at not attaining. If Defeat stares you In the face, look It orer with a atlfC upper lip, square your Jaw to It and defeat IT! Create along new pathways if you would defeat Defeat. Beethoven was deaf, yet he composed matchless music to Inspire endless millions along the years thru time. Sir Arthur Pearson became blind at the zenith of his fine career, yet he set to work teaching the blind to see. Robert Louis Stevnson was a consumptive, yet he created a literature so beautiful that It stands alone la Its entrancing power of thought. Winning Is a matter of Intelligence, and no strong man ever admitted defeat. We must give of all that we are and then we must take what comes back. And if we key our heart to victory, there can for us be no defeat. For we shall have crossed Its path In advance and made It powerless. The one big Job given to every man and woman to handle Is this defeat Defeat! But there must be no letting up. It Is an offensive game, calling for Initiative every moment of the day and with your will standing guard, lest one single let-up trip you. Defeat Defeat I

TOE FOUR HORSEMEN OF TME APOCALYPSE BY BLASCO IBANEZ Condensation by Alice G. Higrjins, Boston Athenaeum

In 1870 Marcelo Desnoyers was a lonely lad of nineteen years living in Marseilles. A popular manifestation in favor of peace, at the first news of the war with Prussia, influenced him to leave the country, and he made an unforgettable trip to South America, where after many failures, and a laborious existence, ho became an employe of Madariaga. the centaur. Don Madariaga's fortune was enormous. He had gained his first money as a fearless trader, and with his earnings had bought vast tracts of land, devoting them to the raising of cattle. Though he had a capricious and despotic character, he nevertheless felt a certain fondness for his new French overseer. "Thanks, Frenchy," snid the ranchman, much touched. "You are an allround man and I am going to reward you. From this day I shall speak to you as I do to my family." Desnoyers soon married Luisa, Madariaga's eldest daughter, while a young German, Karl Hartrott. a recent arrival at the ranch, married Elena, her younger sister. Seated under the awning on summer nights the ranchman surveyed his family around him with a sort of patriarchial ecstasy. "Just think of it, Frenchy," he said; "I am Spanish, you French, Karl German, my daughters Argentinians, the cook Russian, his assistant Greek, the stable boy English, the kitchen servants natives, Galicians or Italians, and among the peons are many castes and laws . . . And yet all live in neace. In Europe, we probably would have been in a grand fight by this time, but here we are all friends." Julio, the son of Desnoyers, was tho favorite grandchild of Madariagi. "Ah, the fine cowboy! What a pretty fellow you are!" ho would say. "Have a good time, for grandpa is always here with his money." Ono evening the Patron's horse came slowly home without its rider. The old man had fallen on the highway, and when they found him he was dead. The Hartrotts moved to Berlin at once, and the Desnoyers went to Paris, each household in possession of an enormous fortune. Besides establishing his family in Paris, Desnoyers bought a castle, Villeblanche-sur-Marne, a mixture of palace and fortress, where lie could put his rapidly accumulating purchases of paintings, furniture, statues all those things which he carried away from the auctions which it had now become his habit to frequent. The only disappointment in Desnoyers' life came from his children his daughter Chichi because of her independence, and Julio because of his aimless existence. Julio has had to make a trip to South America in order to realize on a bequest from his grandfather, so that he might marry the fascinating and frivolous Marguerite Laurier, with whom he had become infatuated Suddenly the cloud of war cast Its shadow over this family. The selfsufficient Dr. Julius von Hartrott said to his cousin, "War will be declared tomorrow or tho day after. Nothing can prevent it now. It is necessary for tho welfare of humanity." On the eve of mobilization Tchernoff, bad a vision in which he saw the Apocalyptic Beast rising out of the sea. Four terrible horsemen preceded the appearance of the monster, and these scourges of the earth, Conquest, War, Famine and Death, were beginning their mad, desolating course over the heads of terrified humanity. Julio, being an Argsntinian, was exempt from military service, and had hoped to continue his life as though nothing were happening. His inamorata, however, from a woman infatuated with dress, was gradually transformed by her desire to serve. The war had made her ponder much on the values of life, and her sense of duty to her husband whom she had so greatly wronged sent her back to his side when she heard that he had been severely wounded. To Julio she said, "You must leave me . . . Life is not what wo have thought it. Had it not been for the war we might perhaps, have realized our dream, but now! . . . For the remainder of my life, I shall carry the heaviest burden, and yet at the same time, It

will be sweet, since the greater It weighs me down, the greater will my atonement be." The vanquished lover said good-bye to Love and Happiness, but this repulse gave him a new impetus to fill the acacuum of his empty existence. When Paris was threatened and refugees told of the wholesale sackings of their homes, Don Marcelo began to fear for his castle, and went to Villeblanche, arriving in time to witness the discouraged exhaustion of the French army's retreat. Closely following were the invading Germans shouting "Nach Paris!" Villeblanche became the camping ground for a regiment and Its bewildered proprietor was subjected to Innumerable indignities; saw his choice possessions looted, and was the powerless witness to the murder of prominent civilians of tho village. A young officer arrived who Introduced himself as Captain Otto von Hartrott. He explained with true German callousness the ruin and plunder of his uncle's castle by saying to him, "It is war . . . We have to be very ruthless that it may not last long. True kindness consists in being cruel, because then the terror-stricken enemy gives in sooner, and the world suffers less." For four days Don Marcelo lived through a period of stupeflcatlons slashed by most horrible visions. The village was reduced to a mass of ruins before his eyes, and his household suffered unspeakably from the bestiality of tho carousing officers. A war hospital was established on the estate but moved on under the stress of battle, though the banner of tho Red Cross remained to deceive the French about the artillery which was installed in the park. When a French aeroplane discovered this bit of treachery, Don Marcelo found himself in the heart of a furious battle. The cannonading of the Germans and the bursting of French shells terrified him until at last he saw at the foot of tho highway near his castle, several of the atacking colums had crossed the Marne. They rushed forward unmoved by the deadly fire of the Germans, and he realized his beloved French were driving back the Teuton horde. Only ruins of his once beautiful es

tate were now left him and he said farewell forever to Villeblanche. After his return to Paris a young soldier of the infantry called to see him. It

! was his son Julio, never so distin

guished looking a3 in this rough, ready-made uniform. Their reconciliation was complete. With his son on tho batleficld Don Marcelo lived througb months of anxious suspense. Through the influence of a friend he was able to see the young hero. It was a tortuous journey through tho zigzags and curves of the trenches, while bullets buzzed like horseflies through tho air, and on through dark galleries and subterranean fortifications until he reached the outer intrenchment line. Desnoyers hardly recognized his son on account of his changed appearance, but in spite of his hard life, Julio had found content in comradeships such as he had never know-n. For the first time in his life he was tasting the delight of knowing that he was a useful being. As his father left him, hope sang in his ears, "No one will kill him. My heart which never deceives me, tells me so." Julio became a sergeant, then a sublieutenant and for his exceptional

bravery received tho Croix de Guerre, the military medal, and was finally proposed for the Legion d' Honour. One afternoon during the Champaigne
