During his life of 6.1 years he accomplished many things and hia influence for good in various lines will live after him. As editor of The State Chronicle, published at Raleigh, he started the movement which resulted in toe establishment of the A. and E. Col lege, an institution which has grown into place of power and influence in the State. Thorn ia tin ilmitit that the nnlnnim du ties which the war imposed upon him as representative of the United States at the court of St. James weighed so heavi ly on his shoulders as to cause a break down of his health and the hastening of the end of his life. President Wilson ap pointed him to the most important diplo matic post in the world five years ago and he undertook the great tak without previous experience in this line and made good from the very leginning. Perhaps Mr. rage's greatest accom plishment was the establishment of The World's Work, a magazine which dealt with social, political and economic events and problems in a style new to the mag azine field and which was so refreshing that the new magazine at once gained public favor and has grown steadily since its establishment. Mr. Page was editor of this magazine when President Wilson aent him to England. As a boy, it is stated, Mr. Page was precocious, exhibiting remarkable mental powers. He was a close student and early exhibited ability as a writer and it was perhaps in this capacity that he made his greatest reputation. His whole career was such as to reflect great credit on his native State and his passing will be the occasion of great sor row throughout North Carolina.

In Cohlenz the American troops have for their occupancy the most picturesque ly situated town of all those which came under the control of the Allies through the terms of the armistice. In reaching the Rhine, but a few nviiiths ago i onsidered a military goal to lie attained nnly after hard fighting, the Americans came from Treves by the iii'e of pleasurable tourist travel down t'u- Moselle vaUwy. more interested in the ruins of robber barons' castles and in innrkirnr the resemblance to the Hudson ;i;.n in the possibility of an attack from a f.w at any of the points of defence on the way. Their reception at Coblenz wa friendly. A German officer "wearing a bright, polished, spike helmet" met them at the station, and the Germans, said a correspondent, "even scrubbed the bunks in the five fortresses so that everything might le in readiness for the doughboys to sleep. " Cob let,, at tie height of its tourist season could not have done better than this. Coblenz has been welcoming tourists so long that it was second nature to wel come the Americans. That was one of the principal occupations of the Coblenz er. As a result he is more or less poly glot. The soldiers will have no difficulty in finding some one to speak English. Again, the Coblenzer is considerable of a. racial mixture; about as much French. Flemish, Franconian or Low Dutch as he is German. The Coblenzer has, too, a reputation for improvidence, which may account for that squandering of all his food supply and the "big eating spree" in which, according to the correspond ents, he is at present riotously indulging. Cohlenz has no great cathedral as Co logne has, or university, as Boon, or Ro man churches and antiquities, as Mainz. It has, though a famous promenade a long the Rhine bank flanked by an im posing array of hotels, restaurants and cafes. These have remained open and flourishing during the war, and the Co blenzer, looking across the river to the strong defences of Ehrenbreitstein and Asterstein, could dream himself into a feeling of perfect seeuritv forth Fath erland.

The people are no judges of the products of these Ba varian t-itioa. But they know the product!) of t lie Rhine and the Moselle valley vine yards. The good w;ne of these valleys flows in ceaseless streams into Coblenz to ! be bottled, doctored and sparkled. A good share of it is sent out to the world; there is too much of it even for 'olden., its tourists, its visitors and its great companies of ollicers to consume In lad, ('oblenz is gay under either normal or abnormal circumstances. A French trav eller, it' memory serves correctly it was tint elder Dumas, said that Coblenz had more pretty girls and women than any Rhine town he visited. Of course all this will not in the least concern our American soldiers. They are there strictly and purely on business. They will find much besides to interest them; there are as many lloheiizolleni statues in Coblenz as in Berlin Coblenz has even a statue of Empress Augusta a number of interesting churches and museums, and if the soldiers climb up the slope of Ehrenbreitstein they will find a hotel at which the tablet on the front says the great Goethe stopped. There are good schools there too the English used to send-their girls there to be educated; in fact, there are many opportunities in Coblenz for improving the mind. LITTLE STORIES OF RED CROSS HOME SERVICE. A Change of Jurisdiction. (.'alls for help from those in distress come to the Red Cross Homo Service from all kinds of places, but when they come from Police Headquarters the young lady who responds does not usual ly find at the end of her trip a very small boy, his face streaked and smudged where his grimy little fists have wiped away the tears. The small boy uas not un known to the Red Cross worker. Two days before there had been a solemn compact between the two. wherein Billy had promised faithfully not to play truant from school, and back in Billy's mind there must have been a strong con viction that with the Red Cross lady mercy would season justice, er he would not have selected her as counsel for de fens! The police officer in charge looked very r?erious. He took bis place judicially be hind a desk and glared at the offender, motioning the Red Cross lady to sit on the opposite side, where sympathy co'ibl flow only from looks. "Xanief" thundered the police officer. " Billy Bradley, " sobbed the boy. "Charged with?" "Tt-taking .1 dynamite!" "Guilty or not guilty?" "How do I know?"" wailed Billy. "I haven't been tried yet! " This was too much for the dignity of the police officer. Court adjourned. Billy burrowed his head on the shoulder of the Red Cross lady. "It is that subdivision thev are mak- J ing out near Billy's home", explained tlie officer. ' ' All the boys run away from school to play there on the days the men blow up trees and stumps with dynamite. They pester the life out of me, because I am always afraid they are going to get hurt; but this morning I caught the young rascal helping himself from the box, and you know, Miss, that was too much. That was serious. ' ' ,'.'It certainly was," agreed the young 11 s WW. lady gravely. ' ' Billy, the son of a lawyer should know what a grave offense stealing is. Why did you take the dynamite ! ' ' "I wanted to s 'prise mother," ex plained Billy eagerly. "I wanted to take home a stick for my little cannon and make a noise like a bi-i ig gun ! " , "Officer," said the young lady, "I think this is a Red ( loss c;:se. It iu vohts a long course of treatment that you couldn't undertake. If you will turn Billy over to me ' ' "Sure, "came the ready response. "It ain 't the firm hand of the law he is need ing, at his age. It's the firm hand of the father that s in the army, and accord ing to the way 1 dope it out you Red Cross folks are trying to take his place.'' "Exactly, and the next time you find a soldier's son in a fix like this, suppose we hold court in my office?" "I get you," said the officer soberly. "I have a boy myself." WILL HELP SOLDIERS AFTER THEY ARE DISCHARGED. Mr. Jos. C. Logan, director of Civilian Relief for the Southern Division of the American Red Cross, has issued a rede finition of the field of home service, which has just been received from national headquarters.
