OLD CHATEAU

By Lady Somerset.
(Hoard Nrwi bj Lougent Leased Wlr.)
London. July 11. A new Idea must
surely be a rare occurrence In an age
when Ideas follow each otlor as the mo
tor cars nlons the highway, but Cap
tain linker has propounded schemes at
which he lias been worklnir for some
s"en years, whleu certainly are new to
the average mind. The movement Is
called the "School of Mounted Nurses."
Seven months afco Captain Baker
mounted tlte Islington Orill Brigade
(.iris oomnnty. numbering . five ami
twenty strontr yiiung amnions, dressed
In red nold and blue uniforms, mounted
on black horses.
They received the commendations of
Colonel Ricardo, than whom no more
soldloily man exists, and so great was
his .satisfaction with the Idea and Its
matermllzutlon that he invited the girls
to give a display at the military tournu
inoiit. The display consisted in swelnvf
trie, girls go into imaginary battle, tie
up the bandages of the wounded, and
hoist thorn on to their own horses, flnd
rido away with a man behind the saddle
The discipline, self-reliance and Dhvsl-
Tl strength which they displayed were
simply wonderful.
The Uniterm consists of a red tunlo
blouse, with blue td!rt. with white
tiraidlng round the bottom, white gnunt-h-ts.
black leggings' and vellow su.sh
with a red and blue field service cap
and chin strap.
I'erhans these 25 maidens will h the
nucleus of a very regiment of women en
listee., not to fight, but to save
The girls march well, are well drilled
and carry out the discipline, perfectly. It
s oei,eeu mat live and ove. when tne
territorial aitny is organized, the girls
will take their places In learning to take
part In military achievements.
The official announcement of the pen
ny postage to America has caused uni
versal satisfaction. "The next great step
in civilization, the establishment of n
penny post among the English speaking
nations, is the first and most clamant
reform to whiieh English speakers
should direct their attention."
80 wrote Mr. Stead 18 years ago. Since
that time there has been a sudden re
sponse to this demand, and one. of the
persons who signified his aporoval was
r present king, then prince of Wales.
it is now two years ago since a depu
tation waited on Mr. Asquith in regard
01 ituopimg trie penny postage between
this country and the United States, arid
was told that there was no possibility of
tne lmmeciiate attainment of such a
sehrtrie, hut that in 1H0S it mlRht be
; possible to carry out the design. This
jliav now been realized.
The next country to follow suit will
be 1-ranee, and soon. 1 think, we shall

Paris, July 11. An effort is being

Paris, July 11. In Epite of all the
bellicose predictions there are two rea
sons why there will not be a Franco-
German war: First, because Franca
doesn't want to fight; second, because
Germany doesn't want to fight.
Trien why all this war talk, you ask?
It Is pure money raising bluff. The
Germans are pushing on their railway
which Is to run from Constantinople to
Bagdad; they have already reached
Knnia and the foot of the Taurus hills,
and these works are vast and costly. In
order to raise the money Germany has
had to appeal to foreign financiers.
Naturally she has turned to France,
and I am Informed that the German
jovernment has offered to grant us
serious concessions in Morocco If we
will give them financial aid in Asiatic
Turkey.
And all the angry words about Mor
occo had no other aim than that of
forcing on this bargain. Germany needs
$1 40,000.000 ; and why should France
not lead them?
The French government, more and
more dlsensted with its Moroccan cam
paign, is Inclined to consider the propo
sition. A group of French financiers is
said to be ready to furnish the money
at least to offer such a loan to bur
easy going public. and doubtless It
would be subscribed. Honest men, how
ever, are still hoping that Mr. Clemen
coau wdll not consent to sacrifice both
Morocco and our money to German am
billon.
(Hearst News by Loiitfrst I.essed Wire.)
Paris, July 11. The serloiu atteutlon
of diplomats lias been attracted by an
article which has appeared in La Kevue
Uy M. Alexander liar, and which is en
titled "'Can Kngland Hold India"
I he w riter says that, by reason ci
Its tranquility under lirlttsli rule, Ku-
rope had almost forgotten the existence
of India. The recent disturbances there
have once more attracted attention to
ward the ancient empire of the MokuIm.
English goods have been boycotted In
Bengal, and the Hindus, in seoklng to
rid themselves of the yoke of their west
ern masters, have had recourse to the
bombs of the Russian revolutionaries.
What has the future in store? M. Liar
does not profess to uimwer this ques
tion, but he feels certain that grave
liuppeuiugs are impending.
The few thousand civil and military
functionaries that replaced the adminis
trative employes or the East Indian
company, according to the writer, ac
centuate by their every act the racial,
religious, social and moral airncuuiea
which separate them from the 250,000,
000 human, beings whom they govern
solely by the prestige of the power they
represent, but which power would have
the greatest difficulty in efficiently
aiding them on the day of a general
revolt.
The British hold on India, he thlnkn,
is just as precarious as it was In :he
davs of "John Company," and, all things
considered, the fact that the Indian
empire still exists, M. L'lar regards as
the most extraordinary of miracHs.
Otherwise than In the case of Australia,
English colonists did no good to the
land of India.
They did not make their home thjre.
They came as financiers, tourists or
fortune-hunters, and they quitted thi
country as soon as possible, always pro
viding they did not die in the mean
time. '
For a long time tho English bellevad
that the onlv way by which India could
be wrested from them Was by invasion.
But now, as by some cruel irony of
fate, when the Russian menace has
disappeared. It would seem that India
was in danger of being lost by troubles
from within. If India is to be held,
M. l'lar thinks, she must be conciliated,
and the time, ho feels, is coming when
England will realize that it is oniy oy
making the necessary concessions to
the governed race that she can retaiu
her hold on the peninsula.

The count expressed the natural In

he was set upon by five men; his gray

The Count d'Aublgnv was more dis

Very simple indeed. If

so-called high-class Port
land tailor charges j'ou
$50 for a suit of clothes.
Columbia Tailors would
make the same suit, of
the same material, with
the same workmanship,
for less than $40. At the
present time, the Colum
bia Tailors are selling
everything at a 25 per
cent discount. This
means that you may buy
that same suit for less
than $30. Almost enough
less to enable you to get
a Columbia Tailored
suit, as good in every de
tail as the afore-mentioned
$50 suit, for just
about one half what the

is still another argument

Why? One reason is
that they believe they
can get them for less
money. This is wrong.
By our present 25 per
cent discount offer, you
may have as good a suit
as a tailor can make for
as little and less than
you could buy the same
suit ready-made. And,
look at the difference in
fit, wearing qualities
and style, to say nothing
of material and work
manship. Be a tailor
made man and people
will think as much more
of you as you will think
of yourself. Why wear
hand-me-downs all your
life? The best-dressed
people wear tailor-made
clothing. So should you.

MORE ABOUT ACCIDENTS AND THEIR BY-PRODUCT,
THE AMBULANCE CHASER.
Familiarity with rapid transit breeds carelessness. The average
man is more or less forgetful, and children are notoriously so.
Drivers will cross tracks from intersecting streets without giving a
thought to the possibility of an approaching car. Frequently a
pedestrian will cross bne track when his vision of the other is ob
structed. If it so happens that there is an oncoming car, the usual
consequence is a distressing and sometimes a fatal accident, which
the motorman could by no possibility have avoided.
THE COMPANY'S POLICY.
Our motormen and conductors are required to make a con
temporaneous report of all accidents, giving full details and the
names of all witnesses who will permit their names to be used.
These witnesses are forthwith interviewed for the purpose of Veri
fying the report, and thereafter an effort is made to effect a prompt
and fair settlement with the claimant, not only where the company
is clearly responsible, but also where the facts show a reasonable
doubt about the company's responsibility. All cases are settled
out of court except where, after careful investigation, we believe:
(1) That the claim is a manufactured one;. (2) 'or that the Injury
was due to gross carelessness on the side of the claimant; (3) or
that the claimant i3 demanding excessive damages.
HOW THIS POLICY WORKS.
Statistics show that in more than half the cases tried the plain
tiffs get nothing from the jury and in a large proportion of the
verdicts for the plaintiff, the amount recovered is less than the
sum which could have been gotten without litigation. In addition
the plaintiff must divide with his lawyer and the lawyer's "runner
and "medical expert."
In the year 1907 only 12 cases reached the court. Of theae, five
resulted in a verdict for the defendant; four were settled before trial
began, and in three liability was admitted and the damage was as
sessed by the judge.
THE EVIL DISCLOSED BY THESE STATISTICS.
No claimant can be justly criticized for consulting a lawyer If
the company declines to pay his dernend?. and it may happen some
times that the lawyer will be misled by his client as to the facts.
But when you consider that in 21 out of 25 damage cases (covering
in part the damage cases of this company) called for trial during
the last year, the plaintiffs did not recover one cent for damages
ggfgating thousands of dollars, is it too much to say that most
of these cases were merely so many attempts to levy blackmail?
Moreover, great is the danger that the temptation to bear false
witness will prove irresistible, when it is considered that many, if
not most, of the cases are solicited by "runners," nursed by "medi
cal experts" ard tried by lawyers all of whom depend upon the
verdict for their pay.
HOW THE PUBLIC CAN HELP THE SITUATION.
There are many ways in which the people interested in securing
a square deal for good serivce can help the company.
(1),Vvfnen vou '"fness an accident, let us know whose the fault
was. Thii does not mean that you will be making trouble for the
conductor or the motorman, because allowances are made for mis
takes. Moreover, you or seme member of your family may be the
victim of the next mistake, and it is to the interest of all concerned
that carelessness should be noted End checked. (2). When the car
you are about to take is crowded, wait for the next one. if you can
do so without inconvenience; you will generally find a half-filled
or empty car just behind. (3) It is your richt to have the F,r
come to a full step before you get cn or off; do not attempt to
board of slight frora a moving car unlesa you are willing to i
ume the risk. (4) Remember that riding cn the back piatform
or on the running board is" not safe. (5) Never cross a track when
your vision cf a car or wagon that may be coming in the opposite
direction it obstructed. (6) Teach the Lttle children that the car
Irck i dinger signal m Help us in our fight against
blackmail by givtc us promptly (whether for or against ui) your
account of any accident which yea may have Witnessed; and re
member thtt we gladly receive at all times criticisms and nieces
tiooa for the aifety of the public and the betterment of the aervka
