STONE TIGER SALUTED
BY BRITISH SOLDIERS
Every Day "Tommies" Must
Pay Respect to Beloved
Indian Deity
Most peoplo know that all soldiers nro
required to salute "tho dag" when thoy
aro on regular duty, stand at "attention"
during the hinging of tho nntlonal
anthem, to acknowledge the prcsenco of
one of higher lank by a salute, but It Is
not generally known that thcro nro
other things which British soldiers, in
certain parts of tho world, aro required
to honor thus.
In India, a British guard of honor pre
sents arms to a stone tiger every day.
Tho tiger Is regarded by the natives ns
a god who drives away all danger and
'calamity, and onco somo soldiers. In a
spirit of mischief, overthrow tho Imago
from Its resting place, nnd sent It roll
ing Into tho valley below. So shocked
and scandalized were tho natives that
-a revolt seemed imminent, nnd Lord
Combcrmcre quietened tho outraged na
tives by restoring tho Image to its pedes
tal nnd ordering the regiment to saluto
It In full view of all. Slnco that tlmo a
British troop has kept watch over tho
tiger-Idol day by day.
eVnothor Indian Idol which is watched
over by British "Tommies," Is the god
whose nnmo Is Klak Klak, equivalent to
"Lord of Lords," which Is supposed to
be asleep for C00O years and whoso nwak
enlng will bo the end of nil things.
Hence the natives of tho city of Pegu,
In Burma, uro terribly afraid that somo
one will arouse tho god; so tho British
Government, to avert trouble, stationed
a sentry thcro to prevent this catas
trophe. Another object which Is honored with a
saluto is tho sacred coflln of tha
Prophet, which lests at Medina, tho
sacred town, nnd which onco in his life,
at least, every Turkish officer must
salute. lie is expected to throw himself
flat beforo tho coflln, clad In his full regi
mentals, and is said to receive his com
mission In this manner straight from the
Prophet himself.
In Itussla, at Vladimir, there is an
Image of the Virgin with clothes of pure
Sold and Invaluable gems and precious
atones, which must bo saluted by every
soldier whenever It Is seen. The honor
Paid to this Icon is said to bo duo to
the fact that It was present with the
troops when they gained a wondrous
victory over a largo Tartar army. The
Russian authorities evidently sympathize
with this act of ceremony, for they ac
tually raised this Icon to the rank of
major general in tho army, so that It
Is saluted by all Russian soldiers as an
officer today.

whoro wo were going."
"Maybe Bho didn't. Ho could have
found out from tho hotel. I had mall for
warded hero." Don Btuclt his hands In
tho pockets of his blue coat nnd stood
with feet npart, head down belligerently,
eyeing his fathcr-liijlaw. Then he wns
struck with an Idea. TVilIng ("arlotta to

went forward nnd spoke to tho captain.
Thereupon tho "Southorn Hello" anchored
nt a goodly dlstnnco from the dock, nnd
no movement was mado to launch her

Don got out somo magazines and sat
under tho gay awning, reading leisurely.
On tho dock the mnjor walked up and

grny hair, mustacho and Imperial. Car
lotta had always held that her fnthor

she hnd met Don Travers. But now ho
was on tho warpath. The glances lio

tho yacht wero not friendly. If thcro

oughly ridiculous and beneath one's per

elopement. And Don, after having been
assured that hd might pay hla court to

"I Juat came over on tho. Now London

"Thcte they arc," said the major, grim

placid llriuro under tho uwniugs. "Car

"Did she?" Sue shook her pretty head,
musingly, her hand tucked around tho
major's arm. "I supposo It was unex

"Wo?" repeated the major, stiffening.
"Mrs. "VVInthrop, I'm amazed. Did you

Sue nodded her head at him, with mer

He glanced down nt her with a sllnt

"Sue, you're a wise little flatterer, and
you know all my weak points."
"I've forgotten them," said Sue. giving
him her black and white parasol to carry.
Tho major glanced at her thoughtfully
as she led tho way up the Sons Hlght of

ORGANIZED LABOR WILL BE BIG
PEACE FACTOR, GOMPERS SAYS
By SAMUEL GOMPERS
Preiident American Federation of Labor.
Organized labor hopew to have a material part in the bringing about
of univcrtal peace. A call hat been prepared for the assembling of a
Congress of Labor to meet at the close of the present European War. It
will meet in the same city and at the same time as the Peace Congress
which will adjust claims anil differences between the several nations.
Correspondence with the Various European organizations of labor
that must be represented at such a congress has been carried on for
months past, in the hope of hastening the close of the conflict now existing.
The call for a congress of labor represents the desire of the American
Federation of Labor, as the organized body of the workers of the United
States, thus far exempt from the burdens and sacrifices of War, to assist
their European brothers.
I believe that our influence will be only second to that of the Govern
ment of the United States in bringing about peace now and in laying a
basis for permanent peace in the world.
I feel that a congress of labor will influence the peace conference
toward a better standard of justice and right, of freedom and higher
idealism. Already some of the Governments include Ministers that repre
sent the workers. Perhaps some of these will be delegates to the peace
conference, yet the congress of labor will have influence with the dele
gates of each country. Behind its action will be seen the reserve power
of the millions of workers, who for once in human history will have been
given a voice in the settlement of a World-wide conflict.
The congress will in all probability throw its influence upon the side
of gradual disarmament of all nations by common agreement. I, per
sonally, never have favored disarmament by the United States while
other great Powers remained under arms.
Violation of an international agreement for gradual reduction of
armament could best be met by economic boycott of the offending nation
a measure more effective and less brutalizing than any other.

"You'o got thnt letter still, Suo?" Tho
major's eyebrows wero raised Intoiostod
ly. "I've got tho answer to It. Why
didn't ou como?"
"Because," Sue Wlnthrop mcnsuiod her
words, "I didn't havo tho courage that
llttlo girl yonder hns. I was bound by
convention and nfrnld of father, and I
let tho man I loved slip away from mo.
Oh, I don't mind saying 'I to you ono
bit, major, if It can help Don now. You've
lather forgotten what It mi'iins to bo in

you wrote that letter to mc, nnd waited

there." Tho major put his arm around
the slender, Rtncoful shoulders, hnd
patted her. "I shoiild havo followed you,
nnd carried you on.'
"I was suro you'd understand If you
Just thought back. Last night Carlotta
looked wonderful. Sho has your eyes and
charm, and poor Don was half mad with
dread that Bho would slip uway from
him. Tess said you wero going to tako
thorn both abroad In September. And his

Carlotta. over with me, and packed a lot
of my clothes for her wo nro Just of n

wo set sail for Now Lodou around 2 In
tho morning. They wcro married Just
after breakfast, and I left them holding
hands on tho dock when I caught tho
steamer over here. I'vo got a. cottage,
you know, hero over on tho bluffs, and
thoy'ro going to stay up thcro for a fow
days. I'm Just going to mako them
comfortable, and then run back to Now
port." Tho mnjor pursed his lips and mused,
leaning on tho carved ivory handle of tho
black and whlto umbrella.
"Sue," ho said, tlnully, "I'm nn old
chump. I lost you onco through not
chasing you. Let tho youngsters go up
to their honoymoon cottage, and you
come back to New London on tho yacht
with mo and gat married. I'm not going
to let a boy teach mo how to wing tho
bird of happiness."
Suo smiled up at him, a world of
understanding In her eyes,, of amuse
ment mingled with sympathy and love.
Down on tho deck of the yacht Carlotta
was signaling to them.
"They'ro anxious to get up to tho
cottage," said Sue. "I think wo had
botter go on board."
The major looked at his watch. "Clod
bless them both," he said fervently.
"Wo'll mako Now London about 7.30."
"It's fearfully sudden, Tom."
"Sudden!" The major leaned back his
head and laughed. "After twenty years?
Aro you afraid, Sue? Look at Carlotta."
"I've been looking at her and envy
ing her for hours," answered the llttlo
wldo-v. "I'll so, Tom."

ablo to assist In wiping out a part at
least of the bitter hatreds engendered by
the war.
President Gompers declined at this tlmo
to mako public any part of his corre
spondence with the other labor leaders
dealing with the subject, feeling It un
wise, t.s It might defeat the very object
which It was hoped to attain. Hla an
nouncement that tho call for tho congress
already was drafted was sulllclont In his
mind to show that the movement would
be a success.

MASTERY OF WORLD'S SEAS
GERMANY'S SECRET DESIGN,
DECLARES GABRIEL HANOTAUX
Oafcrfcl llanotaux, historian and statesman, teas formerly Minister of
Vorclon Affairs for the 1'rcnch ltcpubllo and has held many other rjublld
offices. Recently he has been unsparing In criticism of Urltlsh Inactivity on
tho Inlanders front.
By GABRIEL HANOTAUX
I'AUIS, Aug-. 10. A frco sen Is tho futtiro condition of pcaco on which tho
I Ormnnn will most Insist. What is the real sense of this formula7 What
I timhltlon, what nlttt, what bluff Is hidden In these words?
At first sight It would appear It Is Unglatitl nt which It Is mostly aimed.
Ir is nlso designed, doubtless, to nrouso certain regrets on the part of certain
1 neutral Powers, but tho moro closely It Is scrutinized tho moro It will seem that
it implies an ambition on tho part of Germany to bo dangerous to all.
a frro Fca for Ocrmnny means German maritime domination ns a complp
innnt to German rotttlucnlnl hegemony.
First let us hear tlio German claims.
It Is a wioHllun," say the Germans, "of our re-entering tho world's eco
nomical system lit spllo of Knglalid. Wo must havo freedom of tho sea. To
not this a. strong position confiontlng England on tho Calais coast Is necessary.
1 Besides, tho Hngllsli naval clinln formed of naval baBes circling tho earth must
I br broken.
I "Special attention must ho given ,lo Egypt. Tho Suez Canal must bo llbcr
! nioil ft urn Urltlsh control.
"The British monopoly of ocean telegraphs and the transmission of news,
etc , mutt bo abolished."
OBJECT OF ATTACK.
"This wholesale iittuck till England evidently luui for Its object tho grouping
of all neutral elements that have grievances against British enterprises. Tho
English Channel, tho Gibraltar, the Malta, tho Sues! Canal, tho Dardanelles
thoso nro nil passages over which tho now reglmo by which tho wholo world
will benefit should bo placed.
Tho Idea Is that Spain. America nnd .
other nations perhaps will not bo lndlf
foront to these llborntory suggestions.
But suppose this great revolution of
which Germany suddenly constitutes her
self tho champion to have been accom
plished. Will nil those pnsaages bo frco
In wartime as In peace time, and tho
Beas ns well? That Is tho iciil question
In tho first place, will Ocrmnny consent,
according to tho principle sho herself
hns proclaimed, to level nil tho fortresses
which protect her own coasts, to llber
ato tho strnllB which connect tho Noith
Sen and tho Bnltie, and even the Kiel
Canal? Sho clnlius a base on the Dngllsh
Channel. 1h It In order to permit fico
navigation onco who lias occupied n pott
which will glvo her command of tho
North Sea nnd mnko It hor own?
And as to tho Stialt of Gibraltar. Of
what vnluo will bo tho scrap of paper by
which it will be freed If Gcriunny ob
tnlns what sho claims Morocco nnd Tan
gier while In tho menntlmo tho posses
sion of tho Dai dandles Is consolidated In
tho hands of Turkey, a vassal of Ocr
mnny nnd Austrla7
Of comse, In the name of tho freedom
of the seas Austiln will occupy Salonika
and the nnclcnt light of Turkey will bo
lo-estatillshed over tho Suez Canal, and
so on and so forth.
Tho fieidom of tho sens means Ger
man domination of tho nous nnd nothing
else. II Is. under n moio seductive form.
Kaiser Wllhdm'.t old motto, "In Vlstus,
by which present events uro taking place,
"Our empho Is on tho waves."
Lot us hear her Intellectuals onco more.
At the BJiim tlmo wo must create on
tho continent adjoining our frontlets us
large tin economic ssono ns possible. In
this connection wo must protect Atistiln
llungaty, the rjiilkuns, Turkey nnd Asia
Minor, ns fm as the Poislan Gulf, against
Russian nnd British cupidity. And for
that icnson. too, we must hold Belgium
nnd acquire a portion of the northern
coast of France on Dover Stialt.
MORE LAWS HAMPER
"FREEDOM" IN OHIO
Now Legislation Affects Medi-
vine, Voting, Automobiles

A3 soon ns tho Ohio Stato Medical Board

nonmedical healers In Ohio, excepting
dlvlno healers, will havo to bo licensed by
tho state. This is tho icsult of tho sweep
ing provisions of tho Platt-EIUs bill,
which became opcrntivo recently.
Practitioners who havo been operating
In tho Stato for live years or moro need
not tako nn examination to show fitness,
but all must bo licensed. Tho now law
does not affect osteopaths, who opcrato
under a separate law.
Other now lows, effective for tho ilrst,
havo provisions us follows:
For tho Stuto registration of nurecs; for
tho prevention of tho defacing of nuto
moblles to conceal their Identity; for the
requirement thnt primary condldates may

nutomobllo ownor, when obtaining a now

First Guns in England
When Edward IV returned to England
in 1171, 10 years after he succeeded to
tho throne, ho obtained some forces from
his brother-in-law, tho Duke of Her
gundy. Including 300 Flemings armed with
hand guns. Thus, ho was tho llrst to
tntroduio theso weapons into England.
Afterward thoy became common.
At llrst they wero llred by tlio, impli
cation of a lighted match to the powder
by tho hand, Tho match was a wick,
lighted and pressed against the powder
In tho pan. Tho invention of a lock to
flro the powder In placo of tho hand was
suggested hy the trigger of the crossbuw.
Tho matchlock tired tho arquebus, or
harquebus, used by the soldiers of tho
15 th and lGtli centuries, in projecting a
ball which weighed nearly two ounces.

And so It Is both tho earth nnd us.
I would really llko to Know wlrut will
remain afterward to tho other nations
In their enjoyment of that freedom which
Is claimed in their mime. What would
bo the weight of American authority over
tho Panama Canal when onco Gormnny
should have established her system of
mailtlmo freedom.
These Insolent pretentions nro so noisily
proclaimed that they compel reflection.
Thero 1 no German publication In favor
of "tensonablo" penco In which thero nro
not repented exactly tho samo terms,
evidently by general order.
Of nil conditions penro. It is evidently
this to which tho grcntest importance Is
attached. On might bcllove, reduced to
Ub narrowest expression, that It would.
If oj tallied, justify la tho eyes of tho
Gcrnmn people tho whole folly of this
wnr ngnlnst the rest of mankind.
If nt tho day of pcaco It could bo pro
claimed In grandiloquent tones to tho Ger
mun peoplo, "Wo bring you tho freedom''
of tho seas." even If It were tho questlqn
of only a single Belgian poit or of a
port opening upon tho ocean, tho single
bonst would be made that tho famous
great design, so much vaunted In these SO
years, nnd to which all resources of con
tinental Ocrmnny hnd been sacrlllccd, had
ben rcnllzcd.
AS SUPREME OBJECT
"War for tho future 13 on tho waves."
All lies In that.
This, then, Is what Is offered to the
Germans bb the supremo object of their
efforts. But It Is a hopo that will crum
blo like so many othcis. It is well that
tho world be put upon Its guard.
Absolute liberation of Belgium that is
the solo and simple tctort to tho seductive
formula, "tho free ocean." Bismarck sold
Gormnny wns a ground rat. A ground
rat sho ought to be, and a ground rnt sho
will remain.

Ono of tho most useful ofllclals engaged.
In assisting nnd teaching crippled Ger
man soldiers is tho well-known artist,
Untlian, who was born without urms, but
who, nevertheless, has become a re
markablo violin player, a painter and ex
pert swimmer.
Unthan is a firm believer In swimming
ns nn uld to the physique of the crippled,
and maintains that aims really aro a
hindrance rather than ti help In the
water. Ho recently lectured to a group
of persons Interested In eating fpr
crippled soldiers, nnd then gavo an ex
hibition of his remarkable armless swim
ming. Ho Is being pointed out ns an example
of courage nnd Independence, to be fol
lowed In tho German soldiers invalided,
back home. '
Rumania
Rumania is ono of tho richest of tho
countries of tho Balkan region, and, al
though It hits an area of only a llttlo
moro than CO.OOO squaro miles, It has a
population of nearly 7,000.000, the most
compact In racial assoclatlna of all that
vast region of centrnl Europo extending
from tho seas of tho North to those ot
the South.
More than 02 per cent, ot tho popula
tion nro Rumanians. Theie nre Jews,
1 3 per cent , and tho remainder ure
sprinkling of Germans, Bulgarians and
Hungarians, with no fewer than 00.000
gipsies. Rumanians nre practically all ot
tho Greek Orthodox religion.
Mosquitoes Near Pole
The presence of mosquitoes In myriads
within tho bare, uninhabited Arctic clrclo
Is in some degree a mstery. The mos
quito is a blood-sucker, but In these uni
versal plains he Is, for the most part, and
or strict necessity, a vegetarian. A few
birds cxcipted (and tho birds are fur
nished with impervious feathers) there Is
no local llfo whatever Vet, in this region,
"seemingly the most unsuitable for its ef
fecUe working." tho mosquito nourishes,
' a primeval and enduring curse, inex
plicably developed to Its utmost."
