There was an old negro in Mississippi -who was a candidate for baptism. He stood by the water's edge with his hand resting againet a hickory tree, and the old parson said to blm: "Come right in, my brother. Bat the old fellow had his eyes fixed on something out in the water, and he said. "No, I ain't er comia'." The parson insisted. "Come right in.

my brother, come right in." The old negro said: "No, I ain't er comin'!" "What is the matter with you? Has your faith stumbled? Don't you remember when the whftle swallowed Jonah, God Almighty smote him on the back with a red-handed wagon whip and the whale cast hira up on the sand? Don't you know if your faith is right and an alligator swallows you he will cast you up on the sand?" Whereupon the negro said: "Par-; son, you may be acquainted with THE UNITED KINGDOM'S PART. TODAY'S great question is whether the United Kingdom will join France and Russia in the war against Germany and Austria. 1 4.

That question, it would seem, is to be decided less by British inclination than by German compulsion.

policy need not be other than it is if designed to force the British into armed co-operation with the French and Russians. -German invasion of neutral states is action not only provoking but pressing. For purely military advantage, Germany has risked adding a new foe to the array against her. If that i9 wise policy the wisdom of it is not discoverable by those whose business is neither war nor statesmanship. To yesterday's reports of German trespass on the soil of Luxemburg, Belgium and Switzerland, later dispatches add the report of German trespass on the soil of Holland.

Confirmation of the latter 'report would add another to British compulsions to fight. Germany has. roughly "rasped British feelings. British imagina tion sees German power absorbing Belgium and Holland and a German tmpire capable of seizing all it covets in any quarter of the glo.t Dawning on the British view is a conception of war, not for self-interest merely, but for self-preservation. Prophets who predict that Great Britain will join the foes of Germany and Austria build their prophecy of the best forecast AT ALL.

(Copyright by Annabel Lee.) tary efTieiency was of the utmost value to the American cause.

Washington fully rec-ognixed this and to his dyliig day regarded him as one of the most worthy and helpful of the generals of the war. Steuben prepared the first manual for the American army under ths title. "Regulations the order and discipline of the tioups of the United States." t'ledit i.v also due to the baron for the Man i.f a national military school, now realized at West Point. He was one of the founders of the Society of the Cincinnati, composed of officru of the army whusf aim was to car for their widows and children and to secure a closer union of the states. At the of the war Baron von Steuben rented a house from Nfr.

Provost in v. ods, now Fifty-seventh street. New York city. He lived tliere with his two friends and aide decamps. Col.

North and OoL Walker, until poverty compelled him to abandon li. The American people were slow to recosnize the services which he had given, and it was only after stven years that Congress voted him an annuity. There were players of cheap politics at that time, as well as now, xo that there was opposition to the grant of money. It was maintained that Steuben's rank was no more than an ordinary drill sergeant. The politicians played on the Jealousy and prejudice against the foreigner, but wisdom and justice finally prevailed.

Baron von Steuben came to the wito of Oneida county to spend the rest of his life, staying here In the summers and in New York in the winter time. On the hillside above Remsen he lived in a plain little house, scantily furnished. His presence brought other Germans, and be seems to have led a contented life. With him were the children of his adoption, his faithful aides. Col.

North and Col. Walker. roue wnn tnem constantly about the estate. Visitors came frequently. Books, games and chess filled the evening hours, and he became strongly' attached to the region.

In 1794. while preparing for his annual visit to New York, he was taken with a stroke of paralysis, and he died on November 28. In accordance with his oft-expressed wish, he was buried under one of his hemlock trees, onlv a few neighbors followed him to the rrave. There was no military salute, not even a spoken word only the silent tears of his friends. Some years after his death the build-Ins of a road made It necessarv to re move the body.

Then it was placed by-Col. Walker in the center of the wood -lot of five acres. He gave to the Welsh church in the vicinity a perpetual lease of fifty adjoining acres on the sole condition that the woods around the grave should forever be preserved.

I BUT SHERMAN WAS RIGHT. The kaiser acted as though he thought the' late Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman might possibly have been mistaken. (L'tica Observer.) Frederick William Augutus. von Steuben, in whone honor a ftatue was unveiled by the t'tlca German-American Alliance, was the drill-master of the American army, in the war fur Independence.

To Uaron Steuben, more than to any other Kurorean who trained the continental troops, Is due the credit of having whipped unskilled patriots into a flghting force which could cope with th flower of England's red coats. At Valley Forge, Baron Steui en marched Washington's troops up -ami down throujiP (he snow until their half -clad feet left blood stains in the snow. He marched them and countermarched them and hurled them through maneuvers until they could the flgurtd automatically and at i he instant the command was uttered. It was bitter work and painful work to the half-clotheii. ill-fed troops encamped in the midst of a rigorous winter.

But it was a schooling, a preparation without which Washington could scarcely have achieved what he did in the months to follow. A monument to the memory of Ba-rou was unveiled in this city because the baron passed hies final dayd a few miles north of this city in the town which was named after him. Steuben's services to the nation were recognized by the state of New York, aej well as by the nation. Congress, seven years after the close of the Revolutionary War, voted him an annual pension of J2.500, and on May 5, 17S5, the New York Legislature granted him 16,000 acres jpt land in the vicinity of the present village of Remsen. This is how Utica and this section of the state is so intimately interested In doing honor to the German whose early training was received under the tern and mighty Frederick the Great.

SchcVed in Wan. It may be said that Baron Steuben breathed the spirit of war from the start. He was born in the fortress of Magdeburg, November 15, 1730. His father was poor in money, but an able and scientific officer and that wae sufficient for the great German. Frederick, for the father stood high fh the Prussian army.

Baron Steuben was excellently educated at the Jesuit college at Breslau, then attended by Protestants and Catholics alike. He soon distinguished himself as a mathematician and his- whole education wae superior to that of sons of poor noblemen. He learned to speak French and German fluently, which -was more than the Emperor Frederick himself coavd do. l-'ri-m Barni ileuoen saw and nc'hing but war. At fourteen he served as a volunteer under his fiither in the war of the Austrian s'ic- ce.sion.

At seventeen Le was ct-uet in the famous infantry regiment of Tau- enzien. Jn the Seven Year War be wa-i a lieutenant, and he often referred with l-iide to the face that at the Battle of he helped to make the Frenchmen run. lie was wounded at tbe Battle of 1'rague. In 1754 he was made adjutant general under Geu. Von Mty In the free corps, and in 17til he aiuiu joined tiie regular army and was tcken prisoner by the Russisns at the capitulation of Colberg.

In 1707 he became an aide on the staff of Fred erick the Great and took part in the of Schweidnitz, which brought the Seven Year War to a close. Talented Officer. Highly important to the United States is the fact that Steuben was amur-s; the number talented young ollicers whom Frederick personally in- II. 1 KA i d-tieti of staff officers. Steuben's mathematical turn of mind and his education came into good use, for many of the leesons learned from the great Prussian emperor were instilled Into the American army by Steuben.

A number of reasons are given why Stejbtn quit the kaleer's service. Frederick's raving temper, which he displayed ith pictuiesque and brutal profanity, his parsimony and his way of dismissing tried and trusted officers no doubt" figured among the reasons. At any rate, soon after the Seven Year War, he severed connections with the gteat Prussian and then served ten year? ae jjrand marshal at the court of Prince Henry of Hohenzollern, Hr-chingen, then a distinguished post. He entered the service of Margrave of Beden in and from him received the decoration cf the Cross of the Order of la Kidelite. The cross was always worn by Steuben, and at his request was burled with him.

In 1777 Steuben was In Paris en route for a visit to Kngland. In Paris he met Franklin and Deane th9 American and the idola of the French court France was determined to strike a blew at her rival, England. The atmosphere was suitable for the persuasion of Steuben to aid the American cause. And so this great tactician cs-m" to America. To ouiet the Jealousy of American officers in seeing foreigners placed ovef tLcm, Steuben was introduced as lieu- tenant general of the great Frederick, instead of aide-de-camp and lieuten- ant only.

The ruse worked perfectly and toon after Steuben joined Wash. lEgton as a oiur.ir at vttiir i he was raised to tne position 01 inpec to: general, with rank of major general. The American officers did v.ct ob ject to tbe advance of one so great. Tber. the training of American troops', began.

He found the American triots in a pitiable condition and de- clared that "no European army could be kept together a week in such a state. He was inspired by the deter- mination of the men and their t5- t'oi. to their country. Wrought Wonders With Army.

Practically: all 12,133, or 98.9 per cent. of the persons engaged in the extraction of minerals were males. In manufacturing and mechanical industries, or 78.1 per cent, of the workers were males and 348,973, or 21.9 per females.

In professional service 128,217, or fifty-eight per cent, of the wprkers Mere males and 92,951. or forty-two per females, a large proportion of the females being school teachers. Dpmestic and personal service was the only large field occupations in which the females outnumbered the males. Here female? numbered 322,969, or C0.3 per cent, and males only 212,925, or 39.7 per cent, of the workers.

Of the persons pursuing clerical occupations 216,870, or 65.5 per cent, were males and 114,186, or 34.5 per females. Of the 3,020,158 gainfully occupied males in 1910, 955,733 were native whites cf native parentage, 762,994 native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 1,244,701 foreign bom whites; 49,205 negroes, and 7,525 other colored. The proportion which the gainfully occupied males formed of all the males ten years of age and over in each class of the population was for nati whites of native parentage, seventy-six per for native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 74.8 per for foreign born white, 89.9 per and for negroes, 89.2 per cent. Of the 983,686 gainfully occupied females in 1910, 277,495 "were native whites of native parentage, 317,583 native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 353,303 foreign-born whites, 34,782 negroes, and 523 other colored. The proportion which the gainfully occupied females formed of all the females ten years of age and over in each principal class of the population was for native whites of native parentage, 21.7 per for native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 29.2 per for foreign-born whites, 28.3 per and for negroes, 57.3 per cent.

The gainfully occupied males, in 1910 were distributed, according to age periods, as Ten to thirteen years, fourteen to fifteen years, sixteen to twenty years, twenty-one to forty-four years and age unknown, 1,844,857, and forty-five years and over, 795,503. The proportion which the gainfully occupied males formed of all males in each age period was: For those ten to thirteen years of age, 1.1 per for those fourteen to fifteen years of age, 23.5 per for those sixteen to twenty years of age, 80.4 per for those twenty-one to forty-four years of age, 96.9 per cent that is, all but three men in every 100 had gainful occupations and for those forty-five years of age and over, 85.3 per cent. The gainfully occupied females in 1910 were distributed, according to age periods, as follows: Ten to thirteen years, fourteen to fifteen years, sixteen to twenty years, twenty-one to forty-four years and age unknown, and forty-five years and over, 145,367. The proportion which the gainfully occupied females formed of all females in each age period was: For those ten to thirteen years of age, 0,4 per cent. for those fourteen to fifteen years of age, 15.9 per for those sixteen to twenty years of age, 56.6 per cent; for those twenty-one to forty-four years of age, 30.4 per and for those forty-five years of age and over, lo.5 per cent.

The only available data from which the report could be furnished was the census report of four years ago. Figuring on the increase in population since that time one can arrive at a fair estimate of the number of workers in the state at the present time. of needless war should topple, would topic is upon the lips of every Buffalo and Pittsburgh no relief roads wesl of this and the Smoky far from what was desired by the and clerical occupations, 331,056, ever, brought patriotism to tlie side of conciliation. Whatever disposition either side may have had to risk a battle gave way before new considerations. Arbitration became a patriotic obligation.

The country witnesses these periodic issues between railroad companies and employes with equanimity. It cannot believe that strike will actually occur. So many flare-ups have been composed the belief prevails that all of them will be. It is observable, however, that the crises are verging closer and closer on culmination in hostilities. One of these days one side or the other may fail to yield in time and a strike that neither sides desires will be precipitated.

The point has been reached whereat this extreme confidence that someway or somehow the last minute will bring peace is becoming dangerous. Reliance on last minute pacification has won out many times. It cannot be expected, however, to win out every time. All hands will be fortunate if playing with the strike menace does not result in a strike, some surprising day, before they know it.

On the vacant lot will arise a $1,000,000 residence, built of stone brought from France and with a design as a severely classical as Mr. Carnegie's own home is ornately of the Renaissance. The man who will build the new mansion is Otto H. Kahn, the banker and well-known patron of music and art. Incidentally, the announcement of the building of the new house disposes of the rumors circulated some time ago to the effect that Mr.

ONLY ONE JOKE. The war correspondents at Vera. Cruz realize fully the only joke in the war situation is on If "mobilization" were a much longer mouth. Nothing else could have done it, perhaps, but a general European war has, obscured the colonel. word it would not be in everybody's their ability to be a terror to the NEW YORK'S BUSY POPULATION.

REFLECTING sueh credit upon the people of New York state that it is doubtful if any other commonwealth in the Union can produce figures of equal comparison, the recent report of the census bureau shows the population from ten years of age up to be exceedingly industrious. The report is exhaustive, covering practically every field of endeavor and it furnishes interesting reading. According1 to the report, there were 4,003,844 persons ten years of age and over in New York state engaged in gainful occupation in 1910. The gainful workers thus formed 43.9 percent, of tbe total population of the state (9,113.614) and fifty-four per cent, of the population ten years of age and over in 1900 the 2,996.474 gainful workers of the state formed 41.2 per cent, of the population ten years of age and over. i The male gainful workers in 1910 numbered 3,020,158, or eighty-one per of all males ten years of age and over, as compared with 2,324,429, or 80.8 per cent, in 1900.

The female gainful workers in 1910 numbered 983,686, or 26.7 per cent, of all females ten years of age and over, as compared with 672,045, or nav ivnt In 1 QOfi French aviators have already shown enemies of their country. However, being stranded in Europe with a useless letter of credit is pleasanter than being stranded there without one. The world's peace congress scheduled for September in Vienna will not be held. But there will be many converts to the peace propaganda by that time. The money cost of a year of general European war is estimated at twenty billions of dollars.

It is too much to pay when it is earned sweat-drop by sweat-drop.
