From Amsterdam, Holland, Where.
dwell many descendant e of the Hol-
land Land Company, the 13uffalo Hie.
toricar'Society hark received two gifts
of wanammwhich came into the
pogeession of the company through its
agents in America and are presented
by Van Eeghan Co. One gift is a
string of wampum giVen by the
Seneca Indians to Colonel Seremiali
Wadsworth at the completion of the
Big Tree treaty. By him It was trans -
!erred to William Bayard, one of the
Holland company's agents at that
treaty, and so Caine into the cone
pany'e arceivee. It is accompanied by
the original document signed by Theo.
Odle Cazenove, October, 1797. Mr.
Cazenove was the company's heed
agent in America and lute a number
of namesakes in western New York,
including a creek, a park, a, lake and
other landmarks.
The other gift iB a carefully made
belt of wampum, presented to the Hol-
land Land Company through Israel
Chapin by the Tuscaroras, who had
been left out of the treaty and begged
the company for the grentOf a mile
square, giving the belt as a token of
their great desire. Such genes are
Increasingly rare, and this Wampum
la a choice addition to the society's
exhibit of western New York histori-
cal objects. As soon as a gettable case
Is procured both gifts .will be placed
on exhibition.
With the wampum belt are two let-
ters explaining the position of the
Tuscaroras. They are copies of the
original letters written by Israel
Chapin and Theophile CagenOve. Mr.
Chain's is particularly Interesting
because it etates the argument of the
Tuscaroras, who had always been a
Peaceable people, remaining' loyal to
tho ^United States when other Indians
were hostile.
"The Tuscaroras made a very sensi-
ble speech on this subject," says the
letter, "when they fOund the tract
allotted to them was not sefticient to
afford thent a living, that, they had
.many children among,them, which
they were teaching to work in the
manner that white people no. As they
found they could not have recourse to
any otlaer method without a larger
quantity of food, they must aeon leave
their emir children in a miserable con-
dition,"
Mr. Cazenove's reply that he must
consult the company before promising
the required tract is copied on the
Tanme sheet of paper. Both letters are
dated 1799.
These gifts were secured for the so-
ciety by Paul D. Evans, who has been
making a special study of the Holland
compeny'and has been going through
the documents at the Historical build-
ing. He found it neceseary to go to
Amsterdam and was asked by Mr. Sev-
erance to look up for the aoclety any
object which might be of interest to
the muieum, particularly on the sub.
ject of the Holland Lead Company.—

Preliminary bombardment et heavy

Shells, shrapnel, high explosives are
rained on them and on the trench with
its narrow com,munication to the sup-
ports in the Tear until there is a con-
etant din of tremendous explosions
and the air is filled with noxious gas.
Time has come to seek .cever and the
soldier ducks his steel helmeted head
Into his urulerground dugout, crowds
down with his mates, and waits for
the storm to blow over. Hours pass,
days pass, some preliminary bom-
bardments lasting four or live days,
and food, water, patience end nerves
are exhausted by the awful din, the
noisome stir and the crowded quarters
with the sickening sights of nearby
men disemboweled or otherwise

Then it is that inhale go awry. Shell
shock attacks the veterans as well as
the recruits. The poor lads velth neu-
rasthenic tendencies, with poor nerv-
ous reserve or with histories of sap-
ping excesses and habits, begin to ex-
perience an ever-growing fear. Their
limbs start toetremple, their hearing
becomes affected, they cannot talk
or see, and when they can be res-
cued in a lull they have become jib-
bering or silent, tremblnig 'lumen
animals, almost literally scared to
death.
Scientifically, the disease may be di-
vided into two classes. One is the
pseudo shell shock following the course
outlined in men of unstable nervous
equilibrium, deprived of food and Made

class is true shell shock occurring in
men who really sustain blows of fall-

Dialodue on Peace Between
a Householder and a Burdlar
WOWS WM,
(Henry Van Dyke, in December
Scribner's.)
The house was badly wrecked by
the struggle which had raged through
it, The walls were marred, the win-
dows and mirrors sliattered, the pic-
tures ruined, the furniture smashed
Into kindling -wood.
Worst of all, the faithful servants
and some of the children were lying
in dark corners, dead or grievously
wounded,
The Burglar, who had wrought the
damage, sat in the middle of the din-
ing -room floor, with his swag -around
him. It was neatly arranged in bags,
for in spite of his madness he was a
most methodical man. One bag_ was
labelled silverware; another, jewels;
another, cash, and another, souvenirs.
There was blood on his hands and a„
fatuous smile on his face.
"Surely, I am a mighty man," he
said to himself, "and I have proved it!
But I am very tired, as well as kind-
hearted, and I feel that it is now time
to begin a conversation on Peace."
The Householder, who was also
something of a Pacifist on appropri-
ate occasions, but 'toyer a blind one,
stood near. Through the brief lull in
the rampage he overheard the mut-
terings of the Burglar.
"Were you speaking to me?" he
asked.
"As a matter of fact," answered the
Burglar, "I was talking to myself.
But it is the same thing. Are we not
brothers? Do we not both love Peace?
Come sit beside .me, and let us talk
about it."
"What do you mean by Peace", said
the Householder, looking grimly
around him; "do you mean all this?"
"No, no," said the Burglar; "that is
—er—not exactly! 'All this' is Most
regrettable. I weep over it. If I could
have had my way unopposed it would
never have happened. But until you
it down close beside me I really can-
not tell you in particular what I
mean by that 'blessed word Peace. In
general, I mean something like the
dstatus quo ante bel—"
"In this case," interrupted the
Householder, "you should say the sta-
tus quo ante furtum—not bellum (the
state of things before the baeglary,
not before the war). You are a mighty
robber—not a common thief, but a
most uncommon one. Do you mean to
restore the plunder you have grab-
bed?"
"Yes, certainly," replied the Bur-
glar, in a magnanimous tone; "that
is to say, I mean you shall have a
part of it, freely and willingly. I could
keep it all, you know, but 1 am _too
noble to do that. You shall take the
silverware and the souvenirs, I will
take the jewels and the cash. Isn't
that a fair division? Peace must al-
ways stand on a basis of equality be-
tween the two parties, Shake hands
o The
Householder put his hand be -
hand his back.
You insult me," said he. "If I were
your equal I should die of shame
Waive the comparison. What about
the damage you have done here? Who
shall repair it?"
"All the world," eried the Burglar
eagerly; "everybody will help—espe-

wam nothing in the whole vast room

the subsequent retreat.
Klechener wore none of the insignia,
none of the decorations of a Field
Marshal, none of the many orders or
honors conferred upon hirreby a grate-
ful Empire, not even a suggestient tit
gold braid. He wore a khaki suit ac
plain and undisguised that he could
have been taken for a private in the
ranks, a private who has been on ac -
tit a service and had not had frequent
opportunity to furbish. up his uniform
—Kitchener evidently had slept in his
clothes.
Kitchener's countenance and deport-
ment suggested that of Atlas bent un-
der the weight of the world. His eyes,
usually so bright and sharp and pene-
trating, looked tired and heavy. His
demeanor was tragically grave. He
appeared to be physically bowed down'
by the responsibility pressing upoe
his shoulders.

gested Schwab.

It was to be a long, titanic etruggle

be fulfilled?) He realized very fully
that Schwab's was the only huge free
ordnance plant in the world, and he.

would not be sold as long as con-
tracts were being filled for the Brit-
ish.
Would Mr. Schwab sign an agree-
ment to that effect?
"Buz -z -z" went the telephone on
Kitchener's desk.
A look of annoyance flashed across
his countenanee. Who had dared. in-
terrupt him in the midst of so vital
and eo pressing a conference,- when
every moment's delay heightened the
danger of disaster?
"Excuse me" said Kitchener, pick-
ing up the receiver with a jerk.
Schwab sat in silence.
"Yes -Yes)" Kitchener began sharp-
ly. Then his voice softened. He lis-
tened attentively fern moment or two,
asked several questions, gave instruc-
tions and then hung up the receiver.
"That," he said by 'way of apology
to Mr. Schwab, "was .a call from Bel-
gium . The officer was under fire
while he was talking with me. He
was speaking direct from the battle-
field."
The war lord made a gesture, dis-
missing that subject, and looked
squarely at Mr,. Schwab for an answer
to the request that he put his signa-
ture to an agreement not•to part with
control of Bethlehem Steel.
REFUSES $100,000,000 FOR BETH-
LEHEM; SIGNS PLEDGE.
Control of Bethlehem had been val-
ued by certain other interests_ — not
British—as being worth to them
$100,000,000. That sum was offered
Schwab for his Bethlehem holdings.
Here he was being asked to sign a
soletun compact to refuse $100,000,000
or any other number of millions of
dollars without any monetary com-
pensation. Did Schwab hesitate to
cast aside the $100,000,000? Not for a
Monmeent.
assured
Kitchener he would sign
•such an agreement—and sign it he
did.
Under the Atlantic Ocean on the
night of that epochal interview be-
tweeit the greatest military genius in
the world and the greatest steel man-

"I am talking to you as politely as

it, I feel as if I were smeetred with'
mud. Tell me, what have you to
say- about my children and my ser-

"Ala that," answered the Burglar,
shrugging his shoulders and spread-

that he looked like a gigantic toad,

will readily forgive and forget for the

The Householder turned quickly and
spat into the fireplace,
"Blasphemer," he cried, "my gorge
rises at you! Can there be.any for-
giveness until you repent? Can there
be any Peace in the world if you go
loose in it, ready to break and enter

The Burglar rose slowly to his

bloody brass-knuekled hands.

ed. "You forget how strong I am,

"Come," the Householder continued,
"let us bandy compliments no longer.

One of the -first acts of Lord Kitch-
ener after being placed in charge of
the British military campaign against
Germany was to send a call for
Charles M. Schwab. Tho Bethlehem
steel master wired "coming" and lit-
erally rushedfor a steamer. Of the
meeting of these two world figures
and of what transpired on that mo-

that these two were not unknown to
each other, that the S. 0. S. from K.

to the steel king, and continues in his
graphic style;
So quietly and quickly did Mr.
Schwab betake himself on board the
Olympic that not one reporter ferreted
out the fact. Nor, during all the tragic
events which marked the mammoth
liner's voyage was the presenee of

Six days after leaving New York the
Olympic was near the Irish coast when
Capt, Haddock received a momentous
message. The Audacious—the pride of
the British navy, the new super -
dreadnought, which had been built at
a cost of $16,000,000 and carried guns
which could outshoot Germany' 3 best
by several miles and had won the
blue ribbon of naval gunnery—had,
the message disclosed, met with a ter-
rible mishap and threatened to floun-
der with her crew of almost a thou-
sand bluejackets. Captain Haddock
steamed straight for the wounded Au-
dacious, and, by brilliant seamanship,
rescued the sinking dreadnought's en-
tire crew.
Charles M. Schwab was on the deck
of the Olympic as the raging seas
swept over the battleship's post deck.
With characteristic presence of Mind,
Mr. Sthwab ran for his camera and
took a snapshot of the Audacioue at
the moment she was partly subrnerged,
a picture whech is destined to prove
as historic as any taken daring the
entire war.

It must suffice to say that the need
for feverish haste was so urgent that
Mr. Schwab took the first boat back
to the United States in order to speed
up producticn without counting cost.
The miracles Schwab 'then and has
since wrought constitute a chapter
without parallel in the whole history
of the world war.
Not only was every contract entered
into with Kitcheeer filled and filed
successfully ahead of scheduled time,
but instead of furnishing a million
shells in ten months, Schwab's plants
were developed so extraordinarily that
by and by the output reached a mil-
lion shells every month.
Within two years erom the day Kit-
chener and Schy,,arb had their first
memorable conference the Bethlehem
works had supplied Britain with 300,-
000,000 worth of war materials, an
achievement never matched by any
other industrial plant.
One of Mr. Schwab's most cherished
possessions, one which he would, not
exchange for millions of dollars, is a
letter from Kitchener in which he
conveys to the steel master the thanks
and gratitude of the British empire for
the services he had rendered at the
most critical time in its history, and
begs that his expression of gratitude
be -conveyed by Mr. Schwab, not mere-
ly to his executive associates but to
the thousands of workers whose hands
had produced the materials .which had
contributed so invaluably to preserve
civilization.
