Young Men Have
Ruled the World
At fifteen, Alexander Hamilton com
manded the attention of his country.
At nineteen, George Washington was
a Major. At twenty-tour, Bismarck was
Captain of King’s Cavalry. At twenty
six, Mark Antony was the hero of Rome.
At twenty-eight, Napoleon had revolu
tionized Europe. .
So throughout history “young blood” has
ruled, just as young hands have caught
and are holding the style reins of the
world today.
And the young man’s creed is expression
instead of repression, and our creed is to
give him clothes that express his buoy
ancy and confidence.

HAYS FEAR REBEL UNLESS
THEY GET BETTER FOOD
THE HAGUE, March 28.—Further
extracts from the speech of the social
ist deputy, Herr Hofer, during the
sensational food debate in the Prus
sian diet are printed ,in the Berlin
Vorwaerts. The Vorwaerts quotes
Herr Hofer as saying:
“The government vacillates be- \
tween fear for the agrarians and fear
of the masses like a reed in the wind.
If you insist on carrying on war, you
must see that the people are ade
quately fed. Does it not suffice for
the government to insure the hatred
of the whole world, or do they also
want revolution at home. The people
have been fed on fine words long
enough. We demand deeds.”
The Vorwaerts says that Mr. Hofer
was frequently cheered. Elsewhere
the paper says that it has latterly
received numerous complalntB of the
poor quality of the food supplied in
the popular food kitchens at mid
day and declares that the evening
meals in these places are unfit for
consumption. The Vorwaerts asks
what will be the condition in sum
mer if this is the case in the present
cold weather.

HAS ADMIRAL SAMPSON
BEEN RAISED FROM DEPTHS
yesterday’s news dispatches from
Seattle stated that the Admiral Samp
son had sailed from that port to Val
dez. According to the recollection of
local mariners the Admiral Sampson
was supposed to been sunk in a colli
sion with one of the Princess boats
oft' Point no Point, in August, 1914.
at which time her popular comman
der, Capt. Moore, lost his life, to
gether with a number of passengers.
If the Admiral Sampson haa been
raised and repaired there is no record
of it, and if another boat of this name
has been built we are not aware of
it, therefore it must be either the Ad
miral Schley of the Admiral Dewey
