In th*‘ July number of Munsey is a

Cnder the caption of “A \eteranr

the article is as follows:

headed V\ lSrigadier*C5 nova' W. t\

of William Howard Taft* though it
may ho mentioned that war-time
>trenuosities have in both cases consid
erably reduced measurements. The col
onel bears another resemblance to the
former President* too* in his expansive
#
anmibillity and infectious good na
ture: wherefore* naturally* the two
men are excellent friends. Apropos of
which— but that comes later.
The most acrid critic of our war
administiation would have to admi*
that it was a stroke, of genius that
selected Colonel Pick for the Mur
mans!: job. If theroVanything that he
doesn't know about winds* weather
waters* and ways in and adjacent 1o
the arctic circle* then nobody else
knows it. Me is a West Pointer of the
famous class of 1884. West Point
classes should always be referred to in
that \*ay: each class knows itself
“the famous”* and nobody else can
deny.^Twenty odd years apo* as fir.'
lieutenant in the Kiphth Infantry* he
was sent to Alaska, where he bui't
Port William 11. Seward and then was
placed on the Alaska Roads Commi *
sion— so named in hqpor of the fa* t
that there were no roads in Alaska.
Since that time the colonel’s busi
ness has been to survey and build
roads and trails everywhere* with no
money in particular to pay the bills:
and between times to do thf collar-an :
-elbow with Conpressional committee
in the effort to make them believ
that Alaska deserves an occasional aj*
propriation. At one time or another he
has had to fipht almost everybody in
the Territory and at Washinpton t >
pet a chance to do the hip work he ha :
accomplished for Alaska. He has bee i
accused variously of stealinp most of
the Territory* 'sometimes for his own
personal advantage* and at others for
v hatever financial interest chanced at
the moment to he the most effectiv:
local bogy; hut through all of it no
body ever caught the colonel wit i
Alaska concealed about him. He^ha*
spent these long years plugging along*
doing things for the benefit of other
people; helping thorn toward realiz
ing his and their claim that Alaska is
going to be a great country in a few
more decades.
When the world war gathered Am
erica into its vortex* Colonel Richard
son was comfortably attending to hi >
Alaska roads and trails. Being not on
ly a West Pointer* but a former in
structor in tactics at the Academy* lv*
was promptly wanted to help lick
rookies into soldiers; and to that end
lie was assigned to one of the big
camps.
New duties* new difficulties. He
must ride a horse* and hadn’t done it
in years. Hr hunted around* found :*
• \ |
horse big and strong rnoiigh* and then
set about to draw a saddle. There was
none big enou^i; the government nov
•i had them of his size and the biggest
one that could* be provided was utter
ly useless to him.
Then-a. bl ight idea occurred to the
colonel., lie remembered that his old
friend*, cx-Pcesident Taft* owned a
saddle* made to order, that was a won
der of capaciousness and comfort. Mr.
Taft would certainly loan i*t for so pa
triotic ft service, and the colonel
promptly wired* asking him the loar.
Thq notion somehow struck the ox
President’s funny-bone. He-wired Col
onel Hick all about it . He had dili
gently hunted everywhere on the place
for that oversized saddle. It wasn’t in
his chiffonier* nor in the bureau-draw
ers. Hadn’t examined all the closets
vets but it didn’t seem to be there.
Pretty hard luck- but he was afraid
he would never find it; if he did- he’d
slap a special-delivery stamp on it and
.send it along.
On receipt of which* Colonel T)icK
sorrowfully went out and spent i
month’s wages for a tailor-made sad
dle big enough to hold him.

have refused to accept Kerensky notes.

was to be conducted at banks aftei

lished at Omsk* explains that th^
measure of withdrawal was token to
save the money situation in Rus>/u
which was going from had to Worse.
It says that the Kerensky note ex
clusion bill aims at protecting the
country from being flooded with Hol
shevik and bogus Kerensky hills* a
t*he same time suppressing speculation
in ruble notes. The newspaper declares
that the Kerensky paper has beep is

POPFLATION OF PARIS
SOON TO BE SIX'MILLION
PARIS. July 18— A statistical!
who had made a study of the growth
of the population of Paris estimates
that the city, within its present limits,
will have 0-000,000 inhabitants in an
other half century and that the popu
lation of the Department of the Seine,
which he thinks will then be a part of
the capital* will have increased to 14*
300000.
He bases his figures on the actual
development of the city since 1800 and
on the progressive density of the pop
ulation which went from 8f> to the acre
in 1801 to 146 to the acre in 1011. In
1061- he anticipates Paris will cove'1
432-500 acres- practically the entire
territory of the Depaitmcnt of the
Seine and some communes of the De
pa rtment of Seine et Oise.
