A liontoii firm offered a iuoiie> pi'ljJe for the iH'.st answer t ? ? the uiiottlou, ' "What Constitutes Success?" and awarded It t<> a K iiiimms woman who made this reply: "He has achieved success who has lauglud often ami loved much; who has gained the re wj>eet of Intelligent men and the love of little ehlldren ; who Ivan tilled his nh'he and accomplished his task ; who has left the world l?etter than he found It, whether hy an linpror?Ml |a>ppy. a perfect j>oom, or a reacued soul." It Is reported In Columbia that John P. <Jra?v, ex-mayor of Charleston, has gone to New York to purciiase an out lit for a new morning newspaper to he published in Charleston. It la under stood that there may be a capitalization -of $1*00,000 behind the comimhy.

(Now Vork <?lol?e> Among tlio men of (ierinan blitli hold In rovcroiift' hy every gcmiou* mUuhHl Aiiiorh nn who known t ho his tory of hlH country In Johann DeKalb t,?, hm> 0f Camden. This bravo and hlghsouled hou of Hiiravla. wl.en he arranged with Benjamin Franklin and Silas Dcatie to pln<*e his military ta ents at the disposal of the Contlnen tal congress. was one of the few eon* ttnentnl Kurojienns understanding the nature of the struggle. Ho had vlslt*d the colonies In lTtW and studied th?lr ? plrli and democratic institutions. Ho embarked with I>a Fayette, not as an adventurer or a mercenary, but as a champion of a new and better world. Me sutlldeiitly revealed himself when, a wounded prisoner after the Camden defeat, he turned to a IMtlsh officer and said Juki before his death: I thank you for your generous symlHt thy. but 1 die the death of a soldier lighting for the rights of man." DeKalb was not imclilst ; he was a militarist who valued devotion to his ideal.* higher than his life. Hut be tween his militarism, which looked to tlK. oreatlon of those conditions of justice ami equality which are the only foundations of a sure peace, and the militarism which is unllluminated by moral sentiment, there Is the dlfler enee that exists between the militar ism of a buccaneer and of a knight er rant. To him all soldiering was not alike as some shallow thinkers in this t,,uu(rv are disposed to assume. He was of the company of Intrepid souls NVho in all ages have deemed It m>ces sary to tight for righteousness. So the monuments that have boon reared to t>cK alb's memory have their lesson for vis I'hev Instruct us as to the way to become true pacitlsts. and they also inform us that If we are doing some thing to advance the cause of humanity and to preserve to democracy the priv ilege of peaceful development. ?e will be but repaying the debt created against us when we had I of the h(.,p of Kuropes lovers of fm-dom. DeKall' lias a message for all Am cleans. but he has a s^lal message for those, like himself, born in the Fatherland. His life exhorts them to ,vl ,-i,i of a narrow nationalism and ,o get in sympathy with the great mission of tl.is free country. DeKalb was not a lover of Hohenzollern prin ciples. His supreme allegiance was to something higher and nobler. He was Cennan and proud of It. hut his Cerinanlsin was not of the kind that delights to abase itself when the kals ,.fs name is mentioned. He l>eheld the vivion of a' better-ordered world, bot ?.r ordered not through mechanical Obedience to masters, but through the iter f?^ t Ion of free society. He saw the chance of building up in the new world :l national unity not based on blood relationship, whether near or remote, but on a common conception of tbo dlgnlt v ??f mankind. expressed in insti tutions designed in their domestic as- 1 I H^'t s to give equal opportunity to all and in their foreign aspects to stand for the general rights of mankind. It is a matter for grave regret that so many of the compatriots of Dekalb have fallen away from his noble faitJi. and should they fall in war. would; f,-el little impulse to say : I die t e )1(.ath of a soldier lighting for the right ? ? ?f man."

' Washington, May -I'realdent Wil son, Secretary JLttlwUltf iUid Cot K. M. House held a long conference at the White llouse tonight, and it l* under stood t<ht* submarine situation wan dls cunaed. Secretary leasing said Inter that ho had received ai>solutely no Word from Herlin regarding the charac ter of the German note, which press dispatches said probably will In* handed tu Ambassador Gerard tomorrow. The President and his adviser* aro keeping their minds open, while they wait for the German reply. The long delay evidently haw created a bad iiu* I res* Ion, however, and it was authori tatively stated today that the Uaue would have to l>e cleared up thin week if diplomatic relation* with Germany were to coutinue. The President 1m known to be unal terably determined to adhere strictly to the ponltlon assumed by the United Suites In its demands that Germany immediately declare ami effect an abandonment of its present method* of submarine warfare. No proi>osal of any kind will be ac f opted by the American Government, it is said, unless it Includes a declara tion of intention to stop sinking peace ful ships at once. In finis connection press dispatches to the cffcct that new orders to submarine commanders would l>e told of in the German note were read with Interest by officials, but com ment was withheld. Coi. House, who discussed the subma rine Issue with German officials while abroad for the President several months ago, arrived here thrts morning. His coming to Washington was con sidered significant l>eouuse he has taken an active part In the German negotia tions to date. Ih Hhe 'the Oldest Living Woman? S. S. Gaston, of Woodland, Miss., writes that probably the oldest woman living Is Elizabeth Connor, of that place. No one knows her age, and she eame from South Carolina to Missis sippi before the war. She Is known as Granny Connor, and the nearest anyone can come to her age is that her great-grand-dnugliter has grandchil dren. She now lives with her great granddaughter's grandson, and is quite lively for one so old. She can walk as far as most any middle-aged woman, and jump as high, while she Is shout ing as she did forty years ago. The writer says that he heard her say when he was a boy that she was iOQ years old. and as he 1s now 40 that would put her age up around 130 at leastflP^fee always lives with the last generation until the next is old enough to marry and raise a family, then she moves in with them and helj>h them raise their children until the oldest marries and starts a home, then she thinks it is time for her to go with them and help them raise a family. She is quite a remarkable old person. Mr. Arrant s Declines. Mr. Frank II.
