in President Arthur's cabinet, died
here this morning.
in a lifetime of endlesa political
activity and almost continuous con
troversy, the one title freely accord
ed by men of all parties lo William
Raton Chandler was that of "Fath
er of the Cnlted States Navy." As
secretary of the navy under Presi
dent Arthur. Mr. Chandler on Jene
1 1, 1883. approved the plan for the
re-organlzatlon of the navy which
resulted in the development of the
present fighting fteet. In a speech
In the senate on January 26, 1915.
Senntor Tillman of South Carolina,
referring to the reading Into ; the
record of a letter from Mr. Chandler
regarding the naval bill then pend
ing, said; ' :
"Senator Chandler hag had a var
ied exp-!r ri In naval affair;!, lie
wns secretary of the navy undt'r
President Arthur, and really began
the construction of the new- navy He
was on the naval committee when I
first came to Washington In ISHft','
and was at that time one of . the
ablest men In the senate. Although
he has recently entered his SOth
year, his mind is still Alert and vlg
orour. While he Is a republican
and I am a democrat, ws h.ive al
ways been warm personal friends.
Necessarily he In better' posted on
naval affairs than almost any man
In Washington, not excepting even
flte navy .lep.irtment Itself."

which, but for them, unprepared
Amerlcajt troop would have to be
sacrificed. These French soldiers

there are enough ships on the ocean
to bring the needed food, fuel and
ammunition. And yet, oa as re
turn to America, I found ship yards
which bad not been free from strikes
since tbe Called 8tale entered the
ar. I found thousand of uiea Idle
because they would not work for six
dollar a day. And 1 thought that if
our ieople bad any conception of
the struggle in which our nation I
engaged and of the sacrifice and
heroism of the French soldier who
are holding the tranche of democ
racy, without a thought of itriklng
and without pay enough to keep
their wlvea and babies from cold
and starvation, we would not tole
rate la America a single ableboUied
man who refused to work. -
"Tbe need of tbe American Ked

the record of surgical dressing we
had. Just supplied to l,bU hospit

tion done quickly and efficiently;
and yet it wa not poaatule to keep
up with the most urgent demand.
Vkkea I saw, one French soldier so
badly wounded that a wbole case of
dresslns- waa needed to save hi life,
I thought that If he could stand his
pari of It, we could al least pack the
case for him. Fuel will be scarce in
France this winter. We cannot pos
sibly send enough warm clothinK to
keep all the people from suffering,
"Anyone with my . opportunities
for thoroughly examining every
phase of relief work In Frame,
would have no doubt of the over
whelming needs nor of the wisdom
economy, dispatch and devotion
with which our funds and materials
are used by the American Red Cross
to sustain the spirit of heroic
France." ' - , ;
HAVY, PASSES AWAY
Born at Concorri, N. H., December
2. 135, Mr. Chandler was educat
ed at academies In New Hampshire
and, Vermont and i was . graduated
from Harvard law school at the age
of 19. One of his classmate ut the
law school was Joseph H. Choate.
He eutered politics at once, served
three terms In the New Hampshire
house of representatives and was
elected speikr of the house wli n
but i1 years old. His first entrance
into national political affairs was as
one of the founders of the republi
can party and a supporter of Abra
ham Lincoln. President Lincoln ap
pointed him solicitor and Judge ad
vocate general of the navy In 1865,
and three months later he became
first assistant secretary of the treas
ury.- .-'
Fourteen years of service In the
1'nlted States senate ended when
Mr. Chandler wag defeated for n
nomltiatlon. In 1901 by Henry K.
Burnham. His radical views on rail
road legislation which hrottht hltu
In opposition to republican party
leaders, were responsible for this
defeat. ; During the remainder of
his life. Mr. Chandler made many at
tacks on what he considered the un
due influence exerted by railroads
In New England polities'. His last
federal position was that of-president
nf 'the Spanish War Claims
commission, to which he was named
by President MoKlnley In 1901 and
reappointed ly President Roosevelt.

Asiatic farm labor for the period of
the war. asserting that production
could be doubled and the place of
the men who went to war would be
held, pending 4hjT. return. He ex.
pressed doubt that labor unions
would persistently oppose such a
plan, because, be said, a high per

to pay for food which will become
more expensive if It becomes scarcer.

finest county' buildings In the state
will be thrown open to the puolie
with a modest ceremony of which
the principal feature will be an ad

That this county, In times of bus
iness uncertainty had the courage
to buifd a structure that will be ade
quate for the county's business for
a generation or more, and that
would be a credit to any county of
the state, is an accomplishment of
which the citizens may well take
pride, and it is eminently fitting
that the event should be marked by
a general community celebration.
It has been suggested that the
business houses be closed for an
hour next Monday afternoon, and
that suggestion has been carried to
the Heavers, the locaC merchant's as

IN ON GERMAN LOAN
Copenhagen, Nov. 30. Tabula
tion of subscriptions to the seventh
German loan show that over a
fourth of the total of 1! and a halt
billions was contributed In subscrip
tions of over a million marks each,
1,032 subscribers averaging over
three millions.
The sixth loan had only 770 sub
scribers in the super-million class.
There was a marked decrease in
the number of small subscribers aa
well as the total number of sub
scribers. y . 1
The only classes showing an in
crease In number of subscribers or
total subscribed are those above
half a million which are responsible
for over a third of the loan. These
figures are indicative of the extent
to which the loan was subscribed by
war supply interests.

Immediate control which leading
banks had assumed over financial
relations with other countries by
the creation of foreign departments
and the opening of branches In for

of International banking meant a de
mand for young Englishmen with a
knowledge of foreign languages, for
eign exchanges and the commercial
and financial conditions In other
countries.
