icl'U rort human Ubct. Jean Jacques Rousseau Had Ri< . Conception of Conditions That I Made for Freedom. Prof. Kcunt*!ii Colesrove <f Sv cuse university declares that world mocracy is the sole hasis of wo peace. Writing in the World's W he says: In the year 1713. when the amh: ssadiii'c nf tlm I-'nmTit<*i 11 imu'i>rv \corp en " "" ' paged at the congress of Utrecht in bringing to a close ihp War of the Spanish Succession. the Abbe de SaintPierre was writing the final pages of * his little treatise called the "Project for Perpetual Peace." He proposed confederation of the kins* and princes of Europe, with a congress or diet of ambassadors where all disputes be i?cru mr uiiinnu 01 <i < v P / settled by arbitration. ami where general rules should be adopted from time to time for the purpose of promoting the peace and welfare of each and every realm. Rousseau criticized the abbe's plan; declaring it contained oi!<> flaw, a flaw which vitiated The otherwise noble plan. He believed that a confederation of European states could never be formed so Ion;: as kings ahd princes ruled. For the essence of kingship was nothing else than the passion to extend its dominion without and its absolHtism within; and no plan of confederation, Rousseau was convinced, would ever be able to quench the old fires of rivalry and despotism. But even if a general alliance of European monarchs were possible, it was manifestly impossible , to guarantee princes against the revolt of their people unless at the same time subjects were given a guaranty against the tyranny of their rulers. In launch ing this latter criticism against the abbe's project the author of the "Social Contract" foresaw the contingency of the Holy Alliance of 1S15, when^he autocrats of Europe called the Indivisible Trinity to witness that, as brothers of the same family, they would defend the doctrine of the divine right of kings against the contradiction of revolution wherever it should appear. V /\* rv,/>MA fHAn/tlxin*" urn o 1 1> n x ci ihm r iiruviKuii ?>?o i uv v* in cism of Voltaire. "The pence imagined by the Abbe de Saint-Pierre,** said the philosopher of Ferhay, "is a chi>mera which could no more sii'xjst between princes ?th;?r? between elephants and rhinoceroses, or between wolves and dogs. Carnivorous animals rush to attack each other on all occasions." The "Project for Perper;nJ Peace," acs cording to Voltaire, was not absurd in ./ itself, but in the manner of i*s nro / posal. There would always be wars of ambition and conquest. uiitH people /r learned that it was only a snwil number of generals and ministers who profited thereby. x Name Mountain "Roosevelt." ?!' Impressive ceremonies attended by *i many soldier and civilian friends of the former president will mark the dedication of Mount Theodore Roosevelt on July 4. . Shortly after the death of Colonel Kooseveit tne pioneers or rne ciacs Hills met at Deadwood, S. D., and deeded to change the name of Sheep .mountain, near Deadwood, to Mount Theodore Roosevelt. Feeling that the spirit of Independence day typified 4 the ideals of the late president it was 1 decided to postpone the formal ceremony until then. f Invitations have been sent to scores of colonel Kooseveit s rrienas oy l;oi. Seth Bullock. llaj. Gen^. Leonard Wood will deliver the dedicatory address. Gifford Pinehot, Secretary Lane and many other national figures will be present. Woman's Remarkable Feat The American flag and the British jack flew side by side from the mast of a British warship for the first time in the history of the post of Bremerton. Wash., when Mrs. Bertha Savage, an employe of the industrial di vigioir of the navy yard, on a dare, elimbed to the top of the mast on H. M. S. Lancaster as she lay in dock 7 aad broke out the two ensigns. Mrs. Savage, better known to the yard employes as "Montana Liz," has keen at the yard for several months. She comes from the ranges in Montana and is well known for her cowboy attire and her picturesque vocabulary. Her feat In climbing to the top of the 139-foot mast was no mean oommnlishmrAt for n woman. The ship's crew watched the stunt with great Interest and enthusiastically cheered the climber. Oxen Again Beasts of Burden. P The ox as a beast of burden is coming into its own a^ain in the farming communities of the state, according to a dispatch from Lewiston, Me., and the oxsling and apparatus used by blacksmiths in shoeing the animals, kmg ago thrown into the discard, is in use again. The sling consists of a nae irame 01 nmoer into wnicn me aaimal is fastened by a pillory. Straps are then drawn under the body, the ends being made fast to upper timbers at the frame. In blacksmith shops 20 years ago the slings were common. Oxen are less expensive to feed than horses and are equally as useful on ? small farms, and the rising value of lb feed is having much to do with the j comeback of the ox as a work animal.

I CURES BY WIRELESS 1 United States Navy Surgeon Has I Unique Experience. i j I But It Is Eclipsed When Six Doctor), Miles Apart, 'Attend" Conference at Sea. New York?Diagnosing and successfully treating a case of illness on a ship 100 miles away witnout seems his patient was the unique experience of Lieut. Commander A. E. Younie of Portland. Ore., senior surgeon of the transport Sierra, which docked here recently. j A few days later, however, this episode in naval surgery was eclipsed when six doctors, evenly divided between the transports SeiJTa and the Powhatan, "attended" a con-, ftren^e regarding an outbreak of in-; >u?nivi the hitter vessel, liu?rijs?u vi? !/ /?. m - _ though they were sej?arated by fifteen miles of water. In the first instance the wireless telegraph was used; in the second, the wireless trlephone. While the Sierra was in midocean it | received a radio from the captain of, ; the British ship Pol lac. saying that a ; member of his crew had been sudden-1 : ly taken ill and that he was in a criti-1 i cal condition. The advice of sur- j geons in the Sierra was asked. Though i the Sierra was 100 miles away from the Pollac, Commander Younie took j j the case. J By wireless all symptoms of the i : sailor's malady were reported and by ! | wireless Commander Younie pre- j ; scribed treatment. Reports of the ] | sick man's condition were sent by j radio hourly for two days thereafter. At the end of that time he showed j marked improvement, and when las-t , heard from was recovering rapidly. I i MISS GOULD AS A DANCER | L j jV /C% . M .

Logan Injured When His Airplane Fell?One of Few Cases. Camp^ Sherman, Chftlicothe, O.? . Lieut. John A. Logan, U. S. A., of Cleveland, is one of the few men who have sustained broken necks and is still alive to tell the story of how it happened. The lieutenant is in the base hospital here, and attending surgeons bay that be will enjoy life for many i years to come, despite the broken j neck. | Lieutenant Logan, an aviator, susj tained the injury while on duty in ! France. He went up one day over the | Vosges sector and engaged several ! German planes. A piece of shell from i one of the enemy's guns put his motor | cut of commission and the officer was j forced to volplane. He lost control and had the preferj ence of diving on a house or landing i on the ground. He chose the latter, ! and when he was dragged from the I wrecked machine it was found that; I hp had rpppivpri nnlv n fpw slight i scratches. He rejoined his sqtiadron, j being able to walk, but that night his right side became paralyzed. Surgeons made an examination and it was 1 j found that Logan's neck was broken, j AGE 108, HAS NEVER DIETED ! St. Louis Patriarch Hale and Hearty, j Eats, Drinks and Smokes as LJ a mao I nc MWORI VO.

Jerome, and .Sir i James M. Barrie. August seems to be the hinhmonih i of poets, for in that month were horn Dryden, Herrick, Scott, Shelley, South- ! ey and Tennyson. Apparently November is an unlucky month for literary people, for anions those who were born in November are Thomas Chatterton, who, in disappoint- j merit and poverty, committed suicide | at eighteen; William Ccwper, who suf- | fered from melancholia and suicidal i mania, and finally died insane; Oliver j Goldsmith, continually in prison for j debt; John Bunyan, who spent 12 years in prison, thereby giving us 'Til- j grim's ProgressSwift, subject to fits j of passion and ill-humor, died insane; j Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from j almost continual ill-health, and died at forty-four. So much for the "favored months." Of the others. January saw the birth of Bobbie Burns. Byron :m?<I Lewis Carrol, author of "Alice in Wonderland," who was also a famous mathematician! March was {lie 11.-tl.iriinT of S.nol ktt and Steele, as also of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In April was born the greatest genius the English language has known, William Shakespeare, while among others born in Ibis month were Wordsworth, Keble. Ileber, Swinburne and Herbert. Charlotte Bronte and Anthony Trollope were also bom in this month. June is not a very good month, Charles Iteade and Charles Kingsley being the only two writers. July gave us Thackeray and George Bernard Shaw, and those interested in astrology may find a resemblance between the two satirists. Qonfomhop nmi Or?tnhpF were hoth poor months, Mrs. Hemans and EL G. Wells being born in September and Coleridge, Keats and Sheridan in October. Finally Milton. Gray and Matthew Arnold were born in December, as were also Jane Austin and Carlyle. So there is hope for most people as far as birthmonths are concerned. ? 1 : il.. neprouutmy mc i onnuu. One of the circumstances duo to the war is that it has been fouml necessary to reproduce the plates for printing the Hebrew Talmud, originally produced in the town of'Wiina. Russia. When this city was captured by Germany the electrotypes of the Talmud, it is reported, wore used for ammunition. To reset the work in Hebrew would take years with an ordinary outfit. It was found necessary that the plutes should be made by photo-enjo?iv ami this work is now Deins u:?n<* in Montreal under the auspices of ihe Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the Unit* , ed States and Canada. , The Talmud contains y,<AK? page*, ? by 14. and it is divided into 18 volume*. The first volume Is finished, and the second Is in print now. It is estimated that it will take about two years before the work is completed. Army Animals Bought Abroad.
