Years ago we arrived at the point where new findings, fresh discoveries, bring _nothing essentially revealing; they merely deepen the impression we | already have of this or tl phase of Lincoln. Thus it is with a few lines Lincoln wrote in an autograph album for a little Kansas girl, now an elder- ly resident of a city in Texas. The lines read: “Dear Mary: “With pleasure I write my name in your album. Ere long some younger man will be more happy to confer his name upon you. “Don’t allow it, Mary, until fully assured that he is worthy of the hap- piness. Dec. 7, 1859. “Your friend, A. LINCOLN.” At a later time, when she was a groWn woman, “Mary” obtained an autagraph of U. 8. Grant, then in the White House, to go on the same page of the album. From the manuscript collection of Oliver R. Barrett of Chicago we have another characteristic piece of Lincoln writing. In this Mrs. Lincoln joins her husband in & recommendation of Mrs. Sprigg, who kept a boarding house where in 1848 presentative Lincoln and his wife were members of what was called “the mess,” meaning those who ate there regular], At the table of Mrs. Sprigg Lincoln held long conversations with his friends Joshua R. Giddings of Ohio, & combative abolitionist, and Alexander Stephens of Georgia, r vice presi- dent of the Confederate States of America. In the course of a year, it seems, Mrs. Sprigg's boarding house passed from her hands, and in May, 1861, she was seeking & place to earn a living in Government employ. ‘Though Lincoln in that month was | confronted with tangled and terrible problems, he took the.time to write a gracious note of Tecommendation for the troubled woman. The note sub- joined by Mrs. Lincoln indicates that the position sought wak in the Depart- ment of the Interfor, of which Caleb| | Smith of Indiana was secretary. Th~/ notes read: " “When I was & member of Congress a dozen years ago, I boarded with the lady who writes the within letter. She !and if what she desires'can be conisist~ ently done, I shall b; much :ylbllied. 1 is sincerely and earnestly, oy 3 i A.

Tarly in 1865 a woman ran the block- | ade, hoping that in the North she could zet clo&ln[ material for her children. She was the wife of Col. A. 8. Bledsoe, a high official in the Confederate War Department at Richmond. Also she had known Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln in her younger days in Springfield, I, and she wrote to Bishop Charles P. Mcllvaine of the Methodist Episcopal Church, that when the first child of the Lincolns arrived, Robert Todd, she had been a helping friend and neighbor, and that she gave the baby its morning bath for a number of days before the mother got on her feet again. Bishop McHvaine was a relative of the Blecsoes by marriage, and he asked that President Lincoln should grant her an interview and hear her request pass through the Union Army { lines southward. Lincoln wrote a pass and handed it to Bishop McIlvaine to d to Mrs. Bledsoe. A tradition ng the Bledsoe desgendants now living near Sound Beach, Conn, has it that as Lincoln handed the pass to the remarked: “Do not tell A Pass Through the Lines. 8ix years later Mrs. Bledsoe presented Jefferson Davis this identical card on which Lincoln wrote an Army pass, And the former president of the Con- federate States wrote on it an affection- ate sutograph and returned it to her. The writing on the card follows: “Allow the bearer, Mrs. Harriet C. Bledsoe, to pass our lines with ordinary baggage and go South. “A.

Alarmed by Condition of Operations Chief. Although the Navy's highest officer, Admiral Charles F. Hughes, chief of naval operations, has been stricken with “an incomplete mild stroke of paralysis,” persons close to him were, not alarmed last night over his con- dition. The admiral’s physician, Comdr. L. L. Pratt of the Naval Medical Corps, had the conviction that his patient would soon be back at his desk in the Navy Department, directing the far- flung activities of the Navy he has| served for nearly half a century. He was fortified in this opinion by the sturdy physique of Admiral Hughes, countenance has attested | Fhies ey “aided Dby long ' substantially indicated by the atate- to his years of health, alded by long years of life on the sea. Jahncke Tells of Attack. News of the admiral's condition was made public at the Navy Department yesterday afternoon, when Acting Sec- retary Ernest Lee Jahncke issued a communique in which he said: “I am adv this morning by Comdr. L. L. Pratt (M. C.), U. 8. N, attending physician, that Admiral Hughes has had an_incomplete mild stroke of paralysis, He has not been unconscious and is ment: morning his temperatu d p normal and he had a restful ni Blood Yrmun moderately elevated.’ Naval officials announced last night that there was no change in the condi- tion of Admiral Hughes from that in- dicated in the official bulletin of Mr. Jahncke. Admiral Hughes is at his home in the Naval Observatory grounds. Arrangements were made yesterday by Mr, Jahncke to have bulletins issued regularly on the condition of Admiral Hughes, known as a vigorous worker at the Navy Department, reporting for work much earlier than the customary hour of 9 o'clock. He has recently been at work on the reconditioning of de- stroyers to replace those to taken out of the service, on the sale of ohso- lete vessels, the maneuvers of the fleet in the ibbean. A few days ago Admiral Hughes was confined to his home by fliness and a report spread over the city that he had collapsed. This was discounted at the department with the explanation that he was temporarily indisposed.

Admiral Hughes has held FRENCH ANSWERS STIMSON'S CRITICS 'Reply to Hale’s Attack Is Seen in His Championing of Naval Plan. Representative French, Republican, of Tdaho, delivered yesterday what he described 8s “a necessary answer to critics” of the American propesal for limitation of navies announced in Lon- don on Thursday by Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State and chairman of the American' delegation, Mr. Prench hailed the proposal as “one calculated to inspire confidence in the conference and the belief that great good will flow therefrom.” His discussion of the matter was taken as | an answer to the criticisms of Senator | Frederick Hale, Republican, of Maine, | and, In a lesser way, to opposition “pre- sented in the press.” Representative Garner of Texas, Democratic leader of the House, pointed to criticism Friday by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, and other Senators on the position outlined by Stimscn. | He deplored any “heckling and eriticism” of the Conference until it has concluded its work. Clear-Cut Outline ¥: Lauded. In response to a question by Garner, French said he asked for time to ad- dress the House “in view of criticism | that ought not to have been made.” He | described the Stimson statement as a “clear-cut outline of a possible agree- ment on naval tonnage as it concerns the United States.” “Were the results of the conference to crystallize so far as the United States may be concerned in a program ment, definiteness would be written into naval programs, which, after all as I see it, is the cardinal, the funda- mental principle that is at stake. “‘More than that, adoption of the program would prevent expansion of naval establishments. These two con- lons would mark progress of in- calculable importance in the considera- tion-of the problem of naval strength of world powers. “The effective tonnage of battleships. aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and submarines of the United States—built, building and appropriated for—is 1,- 241,522 tons. “In addition to this, the Unl!edl States has authorized five cruisers of 50,000 tons and we have obsolete cruisers in the amount of 25,501 tons, obsolete destroyers in the amount of 16,851 tons and obsolete submarines with a tonnage of 5246. Also, the Washington Conference permits ai craft carrier tonnage for which t] Congress has not authorized construc- tion, in the amount of 49, tons, B-muhlr tonnage measured by stand- ard displacement is 1.600 tons under ?nr allowance at the Washington Con- erence.

He thought the constituents of the ‘West Virginia Senator would be greatly interested in the doctrine of Goff that the consumer “is guilty of laches bes | cause he did not appear before the | finance committee.” “I am not surprised” said La Fol- lettz, “at the Senator's position. His reactionary record since he has been in the Senate is a clear indication that he regards the interests of properly -ag superior to the interests of humanity.

Senator La Follette's scoring aroused Goff, and with no little heat he de- clared that he was a “regular Republi- can," though Senator La Follette had | used that term with scorn. “If T were not a regular Republican,” he acded, “I would not sit on this side of th: chamber and would not take as- ll’nm(nl‘l on committees as a :nember of the Republican rlrly Defending himself against the charges of the Wisconsin Senator, he sai “1 hope the Senator from Wisconsin is as proud of his radical socialistic record as I am proud of my reactionary record.” Answering Goff, La Follette said he had recelved a majority of 525,000 votes in Wisconsin, 50 "that his views evi- dently had the approval of the great body of the citizens there. He added that the Senator from West Virginia would soon have opportunity to sub- mit his record to the people of West Virginia. "It will be for them to say not for he added. He again scored the doctrine of Goff as_“ultra-reactionary.” Fess In & speech reminded the Senate that tariff revision always unsettled business and especlally where revision downward was threatened.

Experts of the Public Health Service have been baffled thus far in their déath-defying efforts to learn the spe- cific organism responsible for psitta- cosis. More than 200 cultures have been obtained from dead and experi- mental birds, but no organism has been found to prove the exact cause of the disease. The danger to the scientists lies i the mysterious nature of the organism, 50 they are unable to guard against it. Anderson, for example, had taken every possible precautien in handling the diseased birds. The organism, whatever it is, is believed to survive in the droppings and in the feathers. Both cages and the birds themselves were sprayed with disinfectants to pre- vent dust containing the organism arising from them. The birds were handled skillfully. As soon as Anderson was taken sick, it was learned yesterday, members of the medical staff of the hygienic lab- oratory, realizing the danger of caring for the birds, took over his work. Effect of Disease Is Grullnnl. The discovery of the specific or- ganism, it was explained, is the neces- sary first uu‘r both toward accurate diagnosis and possibly an eventual specific remedy. Nearly a half cen- tury ago, when the disease was first reported in Europe, the organism was reported isolated, but this has not been borne out by the American workers. Although it might be mistaken for lobar pneumonia, public health experts explained psittacosis presents in the beginning quite & different clinical pic- iture. The onset of pneumonia is ml:d- den and immediately effects the . The onset of psittacosis is gradual, be- ing preceded by a day or two of un- dt}cranulhd indisposition, with naysea, and then being first noted in the in- testines. Then something closely akin to lobar pneumenia follows. It is not known whether it is due to the psit- taeosis organism invading the lungs or whether the general resistance is so low- ered that the p-’t‘.hm is cleared for the eumonia_organism. pnln the fight against- psittacosis the hyglenic laboratory is now on the fir- ing line, as it has been with other ob- scure and fatal diseases which have appeared in the United States—the workers taking personal risks with them before they know their exact nature or what_precaution to take. As a result, the laboratory has contributed more than its. share of ‘martyrs to science. Practically every person who has worked with tuleramia, the organism of which asses to humans from rabbits, has &en ill of the disease. Several have contracted undulant fever and Rocky Mountain spotted fever took its victims among them. Anderson was one of the humbler workers in the ranks of medical science, but he fully appreciated the dangers to which he was exposing himself.

Eventually the builds up its own resistance, course of the disease is long and drag- ging, unlike lobar pneumonia, where there is a rapid llnkln‘ which, if it does not end death, bris a_crisis after which recovery is rapid. Parrot fever has somewhat the same pattern, but the crisis is not gharply marked. There is no evidénce, public health officials say, in tHe present American outbreak that the disease is com- municable from one person to another, although some such cases have been claimed in other outbreaks. All the American victims have been in contact with sick parrots. It is known that the disease passes from parrot to par- rot. ‘The parrots seem to have bullt up & better resistynce than human beings, a fact which renders experimental work difficult.
