Speculation as to Justice Van successor began at once and it was generally agreed that Joseph Robinson, Democratic leader of the senate, had the best chance for the appointment. It was believed he had been promised the place at the first opportunity some time ago, and his many friends in both parties were quick to extend their best wishes. Of course there was talk of his ineligibility because of the recently enacted statute permitting Supreme court justices to retire on full pay for life. The Constitution provides that "no senator or representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States which shall have been created or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time." But several authorities declared this would not apply in the present case. Some observers believed that Robinson was so useful to the administration in the senate that Mr. Roosevelt would seek to be relieved of his alleged promise to give him the appointment Senator Lewis of Illinois predictJustices ed that by McReynolds, Sutherland, Cardozo and Brandeis would resign. mid-summ- THE expected vote of 10 to 8 BYthe senate judiciary committee rejected the President's Supreme court bill. The line-u- p of committee members had been certain for many days. Supporters of the measure then turned to compromise, some of them backing the proposal of Senator Logan of Kentucky of permitting the appointment "temporary" justices at the rate of one a year for every sitting memThe opponents ber over seventy-fivof the bill, however, rejected this and all other compromises, which was the only consistent course they could pursue. So the bill was reported adversely to the senate, and the battle will continue in that body. It appeared that neither this setback nor the retirement of Justice Van Devanter had changed the determination of the President to insist upon the passage of his bill as originally submitted. Senator Wheeler said Mr. Roosevelt should now withdraw the measure. Senator Ashurst declared "everything that has happened since the bill was introduced has helped it" and predicted it certainly would be passed. Senator Borah asserted: "The Van Devanter retirement will have no effect on the court bill. The lines have already been drawn and will not change." e. CARDINAL MUNDELEIN of Chifive hundred cago, priests of the archdiocese, hotly attacked the German government, its highest leaders and its p r o p a g a n da methods which he said were directed against the Roman j.; tatnouc cnurch and designed to "take the children away from us." He called Keichsfuehrer Hitler "nn Austrian nonnr. a .. " uue at. uiai, ana Cardinal the reieh charged Mundelein with breaking the concordat with the Holy See. - He opened the speech by recalling that after the World war the German government complained of "atrocity propaganda" aimed at German troops by the allied nations. He continued: "Now, the present German government is making use of this same kind of propaganda against the Catholic church. ' "Through its crooked minister of propaganda It is giving out stories of wholesale immorality in religious institutions, in comparison to which the wartime propaganda is almost like bedtime stories for, chil- dren.- . . . , "It will be not only unwise,, but cowardly as well, if we take the thing lying down and do not fight back etrery time the subject is ' brought up outside." The vials of Nazi wrath were immediately opened and its press called on the pops to rebuke the Cardinal publicly. Der AngrifT, personal organ of Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propa government alleged that "Mundelein defended the crimes of Catholic priests and laymen" on trial in German courts and called on Catholic bishops in Germany to make a reply. In Vatican City prominent churchmen said Cardinal Mundelein had every right to speak his mind and that the Vatican would not concern itself with the speech, either to defend or to repudiate it. The cardinal's attack seemed to meet with general approval of Catholics, Protestants and Jews in the United States. Under instructions from Berlin, the counselor of the German embassy in Washington lodged with the United States government an informal protest against Cardinal Mundelein's speech. and Queen KING GEORGE went aboard the royal yacht Victoria and Albert at Portsmouth and reviewed a tremendous naval parade of Sll fighting and commercial ships of eighteen nations at Spithead.

HFDrtFC r.l)AFC "Angel of Mons" Story Made Plenty Realistic 5 THE legend of the miraculous of angelic bowmen under the patron saint of England, St George, during the British retreat from Mons in August 1914, was Invented by the English author, Arthur Machen. He wrote a story called "The Bowmen" which appeared in the Daily News of London on September 29, 1914. This was an entirely fictitious account of how, during the days when the British were hard pressed by the enemy, an English soldier happened to utter the motto (in Latin): "May St George be a present help to the English." Immediately after he had spoken, he saw "beyond the trench, a long line of shapes, with a shining about them. They were like men who drew the bow, and with another shout their cloud of arrows went singing and tingling through the air toward the German hosts." This story was immediately taken up as an authentic record, states a writer in the Detroit News. of this and that, as served at the beginning of luncheon in the average table d'hote restaurant over there, and especially in France, you are gazing upon what discriminating customers left on their plates at supper the night before.

The best American food available is across the Mexican line at a restaurant owned by a Greek gentleman with a Chinese cook in the kitchen. But the best Mexican cookery is done well over on the American side by a German woman whose husband is an Italian.

A RLINGTON National Cemetery just across the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial is the scene each Memorial day of elaborate but solemn ceremonies honoring America's hero dead. These ceremonies are held in the magnificent Memorial Amphitheater provided through the efforts of the Grand Army of the Republic as a fitting memorial to our soldier dead and a suitable assembly place for the thousands in attendance at the services on Decoration day. Usually attended by the President of the United States, other high government officials and foreign diplomats, Arlington Decoration day services are to the nation what the local observances are to each community throughout the land, observes a writer in Pathfinder Magazine. For the benefit of those who have never visited Arlington cemetery and its magnificent Memorial Amphitheater a short description of the circular white marble structure will be interesting. The open-ai- r structure covers an area of 34,000 square feet In the amphitheater are seats of marble for 5,000 people. Several thousand more can find seats and standing room around the sides. On the stage there is room for several hundred more. The eastern facade of the amphitheater overlooks the Potomac affording an excellent view of the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument the new government buildings, the Capitol and the city of Washington.

And now, after these five change ful, crowded years, we have solved the mystery we know who the forgotten man is.
