The storms of Fate brew silently, and this king-upsetting storm which is whirling about the thrones of earth la the most silent that ever gathered. In 185 6, three days after Christmas, a boy named Thomas was born in the plain home of a Presbyterian parson | . jn Staunton, Va. When this boy was) four years old, there was born in Palermo, on the island of Sicily, 4,000 j miles away, a black-eyed Sicilian boy?i Into the town of Palermo, on that July day, came Garibaldi, in triumph,' and tho farmer-folk parents of the boy, in honor of the occasion, "narrfed their son Victor, after the new Italian lung, whom Garibaldi had helped to ll/r Three years later still, when H f horn as was playing the games of JI fcven-year-old boys down in Virginia if Ind, when Victor, at three, spent most JI it his time romping on the little farm 7 In Sicily, there was born in the heart I (of the foggy, grimy town of Manchesf. ter, in England, a boy named David, VJUtt.homa-,,was* ihef .ugliest of-the' 7 homes of all the three.

G. SHEPHERD days couldn't have seen anything verj dangerous in them. But kings do hav< a way of not seeing things. There was one other boy to maki up the quartet. His name was George He was a young medical student it Paris 22 years ago, when David wai born in England. He was set again* kings and emperors, because he ha< seen Napoleon the Third overthrow the second attempt of Franco to es tablish a republic. He thought al governments ought to be republics and, by the time he was 25, he cami over to the United States to study th< American republic, and, if possible, t< make a living over here as a doctor He had been born in a little villagi in France, in a doctor's household. While George was m New York almost starving for lack of patient! and later, while he taught French ii a girls' school in Stamford, Conn, little Thomas, down in Virginia, a the age of 10 yeggs, had bucklet down to his RtuHlAa ? Jibing a lawyer; Victor, at six, wai studying in a school in far-away Pal ermo, and David, at three, fatherlea by this time, was getting ready foi life in the home of his uncle, a villagi shoemaker, In a little town of Wales The only city-born boy of the four fate, when hi? father died, took hln to the simplicity of village life an* saved him, perhaps, froi? the plde walks. The years whirled on. George mar ried an American girl and went bacl to France, to write and teach and doc tor. Thomas went to a university t* study law. David, seven years young er, spent his evenings.and. spare tlm In his uncle's shoe'shop or in the vll lage blacksmith shop listening to hi elders talk over the affairs of thi world.

In the eighties things began to happen. Down in Virginia, Thomas wao admitted to the bar. In old Wales. ) David, who, by this time, had learned to speak English, was admitted to practice law in 1884. and, in 1885, the black-eyed, hot-blooded Sicilian Victor received the documents that en- | titled him to practice at the Italian bar. George, in France, by this time had dropped medicine. Bolsheviklsm had arisetv there in the form of the commune, and he had fought it po des-, perately that he had been sentenced I to death. He hated kings, and he also j hated the autocracy of the mob. He fled from Paris. And so each of the four swung t along his own pathway, one Ih Italy, j one in Britain, one in France and one in the United States of the New World, and they have all come at last to gray hairs and mighty powers. Soon they will sit at a peace table together, the first peace table in all I human history from which dlvlne. j right kings are barred. The future i and the welfare of the Tyorld lie in j their four pairs of hands. Their full j names are: Georges Clemenceau. premier of France; * David Lloyd 'George, prime minister of England; Victor Emanuel Orlando, premier of Italy, and Thomas Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States. ' These four form a stdrm of fate, silently brewed, but devastating in its king-wrecking violence; a storm that ' is to be followed by the brightest sunshine of hum&n liberty this old world has ever seen.

CAMPS GREENE, JACKSON SEVIER AND WBDSWORTH STILL TO BE UTILIZED1 Officially Designated as Demobilization Camps, ^There Soldiers Fr.om France Are to Be 'Discharged. BY H. E. C. BRYANT. .Washington, D. p., Dec. 4.?It was formally announced today that Camp Greene would be used as a demobilization center. Camps Wadsworth, Sevier and Jackson, in South Carolina, are also "to be used for that purpose. The following announcement was made public this afternoon: "The following Instructions partlalI ly contained in a letter dated November 30, 1918, from the adjutant general of the army to certain commanding officers, are published for the Information and guidance of all concerned. 1. Under the instructions, heretofore or hereafter issued, directing the discharge of enlisted men at any camp post or station, only those mfen will be discharged who are within 350 miles of the point of their entrance into the military service, and in addition those who are nearer thereto than to any other camp to which they can be sent. Provided also, that men will be discharged at their present station in cases where no substantial saving in distance traveled from point of discharge to point of induction would be benefited b^ transfer to another camp for discharge. 2. All other enlisted men specified in orders for discharge will be formed into detachments, consisting of men from the same state and sent for discharge to the camp in or nearest to the state from which they came. A proper proportion of officers, preferably from the same locality, will be sent with each detachment. The com| manding officer of the camp, post or j station from which detachments are to bo transferred, will prearrange all ! details by wire with the commanding ? ?- > " ""?e uctachments are t,o bo sent, quoting this circular as the authority for the transfer. Each movement will be reported by wire to th^ adjutant general of the army. 4. All records and papers required of men to be sent to a camp for discharge will bo completed as far as possible prior to their departure from the camp from which they are sent. The announcement continues: 8. The commanding officers of the camps listed are hereby authorized to discharge all men sent under the j above authority to their respective | camps, who on examination are found eligible for discharge under general i instruction issued by the war department, or under such special instrucI tion as may be issued they will ex! pedlte the discharge of men ordered to the camps for this purpose and the j necessary active supervision will be ; instituted and maintained to insure a thorough and rapid accomplishment of all work incideat to the demobilization of organlzAtlols and the discharge of men as ordered. 7. Men transferred to a camp for immediate discharge, who are found to be ineligible for discharge \>y reason of physical disability, will be assigned to h development battalion and discharged from the service as soon as they become eligible. A report | giving numbers of reasons prohibiting 1 discharge ^rom camp, post or station j from which they came will be made promptly to the adjutant general of | the army, attention room 336. 8. Men sent to a camp for the purpose of discharge will not be placed ; on guard duty nor on any other duty J which will delay their separation from | the military service, except in an emergency and only when no other men are available perform the duty required.

I the training would be worth every I dollar it would cost the country. 1 I hope we may be able to enact legislation along these lines. I feel that it may be the beat possible insurance we can invest in, to prevent war in ! the future. "Give us a trained force of men and no nation on ea'rth will want to try conclusions with us. We can deI pend upon the peaceful character of | our own people to refrain from engaging in a war except under great ' I provocation. No nation is the sole ar- i biter of its own destiny." Mr. Kahn said the war has demonstrated that officers can be# turned out in a short time, and that this wlH enable the course at West Point to be cut to two years. As to the old system of getting men in the army. Mr. Kahn said one of the big difficulties was that men were, induced to Join the army as privates with the expectation that they would follow army life as a I career. "I think that is a mistake." Mr. Kahn said. "The young man after training ought to be sent back to the body of the citizenship and never be called upon to serve in the military establishment unless the country call him to arms."
