It is told that in the 'ast few days
of her lifi Mrs. Inez Milholland Bois-
sevain was heard to repeat the Twen-
ty-third Psalm ''which had been taught
her at htr mothers knee. If slK

\ g tin of the central powers which thus
f ind their stores of food supply and
needs of war greatly increased. So,
as it seems to have turned out, it
■would have been much better for the
entente powers if Roumania had con-
tinued to be neutral, though, as Gen-
eral Falkcnhayn is reputed to have re-
marked, "Nothing in this world is so
certain that one can predict with saf-

a direct and important bearing on this
diplomatic equation: "The element ot
intent will plav a prominent part in
any tutnre controversy with Germany,
although evidence of intent, it is in-
dicated, will be a multiplicity of 'mis-
takes' by submarine commanders."
This intent, of course, refers to thu
• hy and wherefore of the destruction
of merchant and passenger vessels
sion for the safety of the hum;tns
aboard: but while this reasoning' on
the element of intent is so;ind, just and
anxiously concerned with the fact that

priateness that other men. and women
t. ay find in them' a tribute to Mrs.
Boissevain's too-brief public career
and to the personal devotions of a
young life of rare ability.
"Suffragist and social welfare work-
er" is her epitaph, and it is the epi-
taph of a veritable crusader, one of
whose conceptions of human liberty
embraced an universal need of civic-
enfranchisement, and another of whose
conceptions of human happiness dis-
cerned the need of abating the de-
pressing results of arbitrary distinc-
tions of "class." Hers is assuredly an
example of the public's gift of esteem
to the character of a striver in sociai
service quite independently of its di-
vided mind concerning the warrant for
all her work or its efficacy.
Great as is her claim on the grati-
tude of the equal suffragists, her re-
ward is greater in the gratitude of
those unjustly borne down by the eco-
nomic scheme and the social. So we
say that in the words of the Twenty-
third Psalm there is not only the i°"
spiration for what Mrs. Boissevatn
achieved for her kind, but there is a
due estimate of her achievement. "Htr

revolt, which has hitherto been told only

to a representative of the Associated l'ress

Apart from conflicting views and in-

this is a consummation greatly to be

value erf hufnan life; and even long
ago the public monev of some of the
older States was added to the earnings
of railroads therein to effect the re
placement of grade crossings with tun
nels or elevated rights-of-way almost
entirely. But it occurs to us that very
many of our motorists are in pressing

it can be applied if the people are
minded to do it. In the countries at

been kept down by government regula-

to the military power to control the
food supply, but we have laws that can
be enforced and we can make others,

Hardial la significant In that It Indicates
lie knew Germany's plans aotne uiontba
before war was declared We have no
doubt of Herman connection with the con-
spiracy to cause i revolution In India,
but It Is circumstantial evidence of tbla
kind upon which we mint depend to es
tahllsh the fact. Hardial when compelled
to leave the I'nlted States left an organ
iaatlou and agents behind blm to carry
on his revolutionary program,
"Meetlnge of a similar nature followed
at lltrkeley, Stockton,
I'pland, Oxnard, Los
mont. Jaraay, Portland, Seattle, Waahlng
ton, Aberdeen and ether places. It was
at meetings beld at Jersey, Cal., early In
July, 1B14. that vows were tskev to go
to India to overthrow the olstlng gov
eminent. At a meeting at (linard near
the end of July It wsa annouueed that
Ished through tbe courts, some half a
dozen met their death In conflict with
the police and people.
"1'lottliig among the revolutionary sec-
tion of the Indians In America undoubtedly
continues, but we are keening a close
watch on them, not that we rear a serious
outbreak, but because we wish to protect
the people of India from murders and rob
berles practiced by those conspirators who
returned at the outbreak of the war I
understand that the attention of the United
Stales Government has been called to the
matter "
"In conclusion I might add this pertinent
fact: Out of the 190,000 Indian trooua
recruited for tbe ltritlsh army since tile
