The answer of the buyers fo them was: “We have a surplus of “Hides now. Our warehouses are fill- @ to the roofs” So that the New .Zealand men are going back home to Wonder where they can dispose of their big surplus from that country and Australia. while the ultimate vonsumers will be compelled to listen the story that “hides cannot be bad. Simultaneous with the wail of these #New Zealand men is the eomplaint of men right in the Tinited States who are thoroughly familiar with the hide ‘market and the shoe manufacturing ipdustry. These men state their case “inis way: .. Hides on the Denver market right “now are selling from 25 cents a pound to 50 cents. Most grades and kinds “Fan 25, 26, 28 and 30 cents a pound. Only calfskin runs to higher prices— %0, 45 and 30 cents a pound. These prices are paid for the raw hides. Tanning has to be added to the cost, but this amounts to a very slight fig- ure on a pound. The average pair of men's street ns only two pounds. A pair -y armv -shoes weighs only two ~Pounds and three ounces. A pair of smen’s “low quarter” street shoes weighs three ounces less than two ipounds. So, taking shoes of all sorts imen’s shoes do not average over two ifounds to the pair.

S AsD of Life which hitherto had been to them a elosed book have been to those clergvmen whe as army chaplains and it is heir freely expressed belief they will urn to their churches better preachers for the experience. They ¥¥ed in the roush with men who had thrown off the conventional aspects of ivil ‘life and had simplified their be- havier according to the promptings of fundamental instincts. This was a fine | mental stimulant for the man who was at once an observer and a par- ipant. % The work of the army chaplain was flo sinecure. He served in turn as regimental postmaster, censor. ath- letic director, funeral director and of- $en as schoolmaster, in addition to Jooking after the spiritual welfare of Feyeral hundred men. When the $vreck of battle was felt his work with 3he wounded was extremely strenuous $nd taxing. And it is the testimony of $he returned soldier that hundreds of $he men in service recorded in their fninds a revised estimate and appre- Piation of these men of the cloth be- fause of what had been revealed in the fire of trial 3 Muscular Christianity has more $fmn once been given its demonstra- tion and one of the departures from the conventional has been seen in the ctice of a chaplain in the army of pation on the Rhine.

It is declared that the gun still is in the hands of the war department and that definite dispositien of it has not vet been made. Credit for its capture will be settled largely by the statement of the officers of the four different units which were in the vi- cinity at the time of the battle .in which it fell into American hands. These were the 101st Infantry, the 102nd Infantry, the 102nd Fleld Ar- tillery and the 10ist Machine Gun Battalion. The gun was.taken north of the Marne, in the Chateau Thierry sec- tor, on July 19, 1913, the second day of ‘the allied drive against the Ger- man west flank between Soissons and the Marne. It disappeared shortly afterwards. but was discovered in the possession of an engineers’ outfit, and subse- quently restored to the custody of the Twenty-sixth division. “HARD BOILED” SMITH. Forced by the clamor of publicity, the war department, though tardily, has sentenced one lieutenant, -“Hard Foiled” Smith to eighteen months’ im- prisonment for cruelty to soldiers in a prison camp. It is plain that the ar- my prisor camps in TFrance twere made places of terror, but what is not clear vet is where “Hard Boiled” could have obtlined the encouragement to (reat Arierican soldiers with greater brutality than any officer dared to use towards an 1. W. W. slacker in a can- tonment. The acts of Smith were common gossip in the army and could not have escaped the ears of his su- perior officers. It is unbelievable that nothing of the priscn camp horrors for which this subaltern was respon- sivle could have fitered through to those who could &pd shculd have checked such cutrageous manifesta- tions of abusive discipline.

A certain book whose principles are credited with the best that has been evolved in modern civilization gives a warning. hat is ro: entirely cut of date, as to the inevitable reswit of teaping the whirlwind from sowing the wind. Such. in the opinion of close observers. is the explanation of the race riots which have been a dis- grace to Chicago in the past week . With the connivance, if not with the actual sncouragement of Thompson, a “black belt” wa: lished in which the mayor and his fol- lowers saw a ready political tool for their hands. and as the bid for its support declarcd a “lidless” condition thai invited the worst elements of the. thousands of négroes who came from the south to Chicago. The saloons, the brothels, the sium landirds, the politicians had ne interest except in the oppertunities for expioitation of this element, and when it came to looking to Mayer Thompsen's admin- istration for protection there was lit- tle to expect. Upen rotten munici- pal conditions in Chicago is laid the blame for the relapse to barbarism throush which it has just passed. The best government in which the best citizens vigilantly participate is needed to secure justice to all, which would have prevented the catastrophe and the disgrace of such a race con- flict.

Both sides have made it very plain that the president will have to make a_pretty good show-down when he addresses them. or they will feel that his appeal to them was not justified. Meantime they will do noth- ing but wait, for although in nominal session. the house will be as literally in recess as if the five weeks' plan had not been recinded. There'll be nothing doing till the president speaks, the word, according to all signs today. Col. “Machine Gun” Parker of Cor necticut, who led the 102nd Infantry in Francé is mow in Washington and today had a long talk with Congrass- man Tilson, who was lieutenant colonel of that regiment when it was a part of the Connecticut Natinnal Guard army and was in command of the regiment when it was ‘austered out after service on the Mexican bor- der. Col. Parker discussed al length a plan of army reorganization along ihe lipes which he believes will promote patriotism and interest among tie people of the country. Col. Packe: is of the opinion that the safety of he Anited States does 1ot dspend cii a larz» standing army, but or the main- tenance of a great -itizen resarve. compcsed of men ready to answes a call to arms. as did rae majority of the men of his old regiment, “T fousht in France and received these wounds.” said Col. Parker, showng his three wound stripes, “in order to down mili- tarism and not to saddle the United States with a great army. I had the greatest regiment in France and from my experience with the 102nd, which did_more hard fighting than any oth- er regiment with the American expe- dition, T knew the patriotism and the spirit of our militia. T have studied this subject for more than twenty vears and T firmly helieve that a sys- tem of defense by the maintenance of a trained militia or reserve will be vastly superior to the present svstem and will be without these features which tend to discourage the patriotic American whe desires to prepare him- If for an emergency such as that thréugh which we have just passed.” Cgl._ Parker did not discuss his plan in' detail. its apparent object is to give the country a military system which will have the voluntary sup- port of the general public and in which the lot of the enlisted man will he more in accord with the sacrifices he makes. Col. Parker, as a rezular army man. is not unmindful that he may be jeorardizing his military fu- ture by urging such radical changes Dbut said he felt he owed the ad of his views to his eountry, just he owed his work on the fring at Chateau Thierry and the gonne.

The foreign relations committee was much pleased that they ‘smoked out” the French Alliance text by thair proposal to adjourn till it came to them. Senator Brandegee was larze:y responsible for the result, it is he- lieved, for before the statement made by the White House that the French treaty would not be forthcoming un- til after the president had retirned from his proposed across-the-contin- ent trip. six. weeks or more honce, Senator Brandegee said: “The pres dent violated Article TV of the traaty which he himself adopted.
