Ust Friday night at Lafayette Hall, One Hun dred and Thirty-seventh street and Alexander avenue, the Ralston Purina hero fund of St. Louis, Mo., presented a hcio medal to Charles Glaeser, 17 years old, a Western Union messenger boy, who on September 5, last, saved the life of 4-year-old Raymond Staf ford. The child was at play in a vacant lot, and with other children had mailt a bonfire. As the messenger boy passed, the child's oveialls and stock ings were alire and the other chil- w. Hnm seemed helpless witn tear. fn U-sok with horror unon such ad vances. Now however, we are b!d to regard the Russian advance with pleasure, and we will do so in propor tion as we are dutiful. lLord Kitchener has been criticized for not coming to the rescue of Towr shend. and for not having cut the in an obscure New York lodging.

And we conceive that purpose to be the protection cf Egypt and of India from internal re volt. No doubt the Asquith ministry has had more to cope with than h:is fcwn acknowledged. One understands now some of their difficulties in Ireland. One sees how France is in the throes of a revolt in Indo-China. It is almost certain that Britain needed her ,100,000 men in Egypt, especially as the Suez is a vital point. And it is probable that she nas sent to India more soldiers than she took from there. It is better to protect what one nan than to grasp at too much. South Africa, Australia and Canada are doubtless held in all the more esteem in Ijondon in these days by those who know. They came and wept besides the body of the man who said "Remember me only with laughter." Tiiu name, tin'il it appeared in flirt, page headlines, meant nothing to the average American. It was precious- in the households of the ghetto. Sholm Aleichem wrote his own epitaph. "Here lies a simple Jew; made the world merry, but he suffered bitterly." The gift o.1' laughter is joined to the gift of tears. The man who died was close to hearts of a people who know the lessons of sufferings. For that reason they cherished the more the smiles h rave t them. organized to recognize acts of brav ery, as tne uarnegie m ro iuhu uuc.i.
