Never e history of American advertis- The "vast majority of these T‘ads” | were from watering places. Seaside resorts naturally have-the alluring powers, and it is likely most Ameri- can familles will take up their lug- gage and hie themselves ‘to those places where ocean breezes blow. In such event, especially if small child- ren are taken along, newspaper read- ers from now on will feed not wholly on war news but on stories of dis- asters at American watering places. It is surprising so many tragedies are enacted at the sea-shore summer when the press of every state in the Union' devotes this-season of the year to warning people against “rocking the boat” and the danger of not knowing how to swim. For some reason American parents are lax in teaching taeir children, or having them taught this essential of life. It is the one great crime perpetrated on the youth of our nation. Boys are forbidden to venture near places where they might easily learn to swim, and girls never dream of such a thing. Still, they are the ones who suffer from canoing catastrophies lat- er on in life. Those who live in inland’ cities, of course, have not the advantages en- joyed by dwellers near the water; but in ‘every municipality these days there is usually a swimming pool handy. Boys and girls should be in- structed. The children should ‘be taken at an early age. It is really as easy for a child to learn swimming as to acquire the faculty of walking,— merely practice. Once mastered, swimming is never forgotten. Experts say that in two days any normal child can be taught to take care of itself in the water. In olden times, fishermen their youngsters overboard in great depths. It took but one lesson of this kind. Self-preservation being the first law of nature, when it is a case of sink swim, the youngstérs somehow manage to get back to safe- ty After reaching a more mature age, however, the art of swimming is not so easily acquired. The moral then is:—*“Teach Them While They're Young.” each threw or MEXICO, MY MEXICO. Renegade Yaquj, Indians are not the only ones looking for a fjght in Mexico. Now comes Provisional Pres- ident Francisco Chazaro with a veiled hint President ‘Wilson that he is ready Lo “maintain the dlgnity _of the Mexican people,” . if . Admiral.: How= ard’'s marines ‘and blue-jackets at- tempt to rescue their fellow country- men who are_imprisoned in the Val- ley of Yaqui, on the western border of Mexico. Evidently this pro\islonal president of the Villa-Zapata faction,—for he does not represent the Whole of Mexico,—is seeking recognition and notoriety more than he is'a fight with Uncle Sam. To be sure, his message to the White House embarrasses the administration, particularly at this time when we have so many “irons in the fire.” But it is more . than likely that Admiral Howard, com- mander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, who is expected to arrive at Tobari Bay on this very.day, will do all in his power to save the lives of Amer- icans being persecuted’ by. Mexican Indians, regardless of Chazaro. If the provisional president of the Villa-Zapata ‘‘gang’” had read care- fully President Wilson's note of June 2, to all the leaders of insurrections in Mexico; he would have seen written therein the explicit statement that the United States, while not desiring to . intervene in Mexican affairs, would have to resort to something more forceful than “Watchful Wait- ing,” if the leaders did not get to- gether on some plan of peace and set up a government in Mexico City; rec- cognizable by the powers .of the world. Instead of getfing together, the chiefs of the four different bands have gone even further astray and have made matters worse. They are succeeding in gradually starving the innocent Mexican people to death, and when the American Red Cross society attempted to ship food-stuffs over the Mexican border it was sent back with the caustic remark, “Not Wanted.” No'news has been received from the | American colony in the Yaqui Valley since last Tuesday. By this time these American citizens may have been completely annihilated. Secre- tary Daniels has stated that- Admijral Howard is to make every attempt to save the lives of these people, and, as soon as a rescue has been com- pleted; the American sailors and rha- rines will be ordered to return ‘to | their ships and not establish any base or camp in Mexico. If the so-called provisional presi- dent objects to that plan he had bet- such @ wealth of ‘‘copy” de- 5 this subject, deluged one of- is appeal of the .American ort to the Ameriegn vaca- ributed to the European ~ time at hand, and r adopt some method of saving the z-nerlcanl from the wild designs of Mexican Indians. Otherwise, there may Ye a real invasion of Mexico, and the provigsional president -will have to make provision for a new presiden- tial zhair in some other ocpot. ., A NEW PARTY? Marooned on the island of public criticism, former Secretary of State Bryan has cdught hold of a plank and is trying to paddle his way back to tthe shore of national approval. To this'end he came forth in his second series of statements in praise of the colirse taken by President Wilson in the present international crisis. This i§ just the reverse of Mr, Brys an’s stand not long ago when defilant- ly he flung down his portfolio Bnd mounted to the market place plt«’ form in denunciation of the methods of his chief. What is it makes the Commoner turn back after he has put his foot into the cold waters of the Rubicon? Has he gotten too far out, or has semebody rocked the boat? Time is the great healer of all wounds, and Mr. Bryan seems now to have recovered entirely from the stabgg and jabs received while in public of- fice. Sensing public opinion for the first time since he Unspun his famous “‘Cross of Gold and Crown of Thorns' speech, he is ready to forsake the furious rabble who would crucify ‘Woodrow Wilson and, instead, throvw, away his thirty peaces of silver ana& come’ back into the fold. But it is too late. Mr., Bryan has closed the door on himself, and his knocking will be in vain. In contrast to Mr. Bryan's antics, President Wilson looms up as the one big man in the democratic party. It is to be hoped that when Mr. Bryan departed from the Wilson administra- tion he carried with him his 'latest in- vention, -“the one term plank.” No one else was responsible for putting that plank in the Baltimore platform, and had Mr. Bryan been the candi- date for:-president at the time 1¢ would never have been brought ‘o light by him. After having entered the race on three occasions he would probably want for - himself ‘three terms” to make up for lost time. From the looks of things Mr. Bryan's obituary has been written by Democratic party. Like _ Colonel | Roosevelt, he may go out and start an organization of his own. Republicans and Democrats would join in rejoic-- ing. at such a step. The bull moose, the donkey and the elephant, being iy use, the only other American animal available as mascot for such-a gath- ering w,?uld be the goat. the TURNING THE TABLES. Emperor Wilhelm has telegraphed the Grand Duke of Baden, now at the front his “deep indignation at tae wicked attack upon beloved Karls- ruhe.” The kaiser says ‘“the poor, innocent victims among civilians” have greatly affected him. Too bad. Poor, .dear Those brutal French aviators! kaiser’s lot is an unenviable emperor! The one. Think of the terrible strain ‘e is un- der after receiving the news of burn- ing bombs being 'dropped on the heads and houses of his beloved peo- ple of Karisruhe,.in- Baden. It is a crime to make a man cry after a ‘hearty laugh, And the kaiser’s sides have not yet receded to their normal position from his -convulsions. over the Zeppelin raids on Great Britaln Who ever thought ' the = gnc!h would adnpt Germau methods‘ 9Bd-! drop bombs on- the: heads- of zixinvéent: men, women and children. It is pre: posterous. It is an infringement upon rigats. Is the kaiser to be robbed of his one great amusement? ‘Are they going to break up his vaudeville show? Robbers! ; First thing we know the Englich submarins flotilla will come out of hiding, or from its headquarters iin the British museum, -and steal some, of the methods employed by the Ger-' man under-water dogs, All of which goes to show that in these days of plazarism, no man can’} really be original ' without his ene- mies stealing ideas. The French have stolen the bomb-dropping act, the British will probably confiscate some- thing in the legerdomain 'of the ccean, and next we might expect | Russia to pilfer the ‘chlorine gas | scene.” In this way Kaiser = Wil- [helms well advertised ‘‘show” may be compelled to seek the “small time” circuit. In the same despdtch, kaisers ‘‘deep indignati Vi Karlsruhe raid, there comes the fol- lowing cheerful line: “Thirteen women, six children and five men were killed by the Zeppelin ralders of .the northeast ccast = of Emgland.” Can’'t the kaiser clear his lacary- mal duct long enough to get a “laugh” out of this? Gustav Stahl, the affidavit maker, has been indicted for perjury. He will be given a stall in Sing Sing where he can stall around with War- den Osbourne’s crew.

Warden Osborne’s ironical state- ment that if Becker is to be executed it ought to be done in Times Square is probably regarded by him as an effec- tive argument against capital punish- ment.

In this time, when in the place of the absolutism of Tudors and Bour- bons the absolutism of the all power- 1ul state seem to be substituting itself and personal freedom is peing limited and not enlarged, Magna Charta and the later milestones of the road to treedom may well be studied and honored.

The Federal Reserve Board appar- ently has worked out a plan which, on the whole, should be satisfactory to state banking institutions which may wish to join the system. It would be impossible to please everyone, and the best that can be done'is to devise regulations that promise to - be ac- ceptable to those institutions which consider that there would be an ad- vantage to them in jeoining the federal system. It would greatly strengthen the federal system if all the stronger rtate banks and trust companies were members.—Buffalo Express. The allies are absolutely dependent upon this country as their source of supply for a large part of their arms und ammunition. If they were to be deprived of this supply, they would in a very short time be at the mercy make short work of them.

There is & certain blood relation- ghip between the Rumanians and the Italians which, while very . thin, is nevertheless basis for a considerable tie.

A Real Peacemaker. (Philadelphia “Ledger.) The award of the Nobel peace prize to Pope Benedict XV honors a real peacemaker. The Pope has been using all his influence since the war began in order to bring about peace. He holds himself in readi- ness to act whenever the beligerents are in a mood to consider terms on which the fighting can be stopped. He | | is statesman enough to recognize the facts as they are and to understand the futility of attempting the impos- sible. He will yield ta no man in his abjection to war and in his pref- erence for peace. His high religious office makes him the most conspicu- ous living representative af . the Prince of Peace. . Benedict XV has conducted him- self with wisdom and discretion in a great world crisis when the faith of men has been shaken and when they have doubted that nineteen cen- turies ‘of Christian teaching -hag pro- duced any tangible result. But his faith has remained serene and clear, and his confidence in the ultimate triumph of the ideal has nat been | destroyed. He has not thought it necessary to indict Christendom, but has seen in the conflict the manifes- | tation of some of the sublimest and divinest human traits, along with some of the most bestial passion: He deserves the Nobel prize if any man has earned it in the last year. Summer Camps and .American Nerves (Bridgeport Standard.) The habits that are being formed by: Bay Scouts and Camp Fire girls of giving systematic attention to the cultivation of life in the open promise much for the health of future gen- erations. Dr. Charles A. Eastman, a Sioux Indian, who has attained prominence as a writer and lecturer, | § calls attention to the fact that Amer- ica’s phenomenal progress in almost every line has been accompanied by a deterioration of nerves and health and believes that more outdoor life is the only cure. “Learn to row a .boat, learn to climb trees, walk in your bare feet through the woods, and you will be- gin to live a normal life and grow in strength and health,” was his ad- vice to 300 working girls who are| camping in ‘the New Jersey hills, whither~ they .were brought by Miss Anne Morgan and Gther prominent social workers of New York. The vogue of camp life that is now spreading over the country will brir.g' manifold returns in addition to the temporary pleasure afforded. As a parallel movement to the many ac. tivities now on foot for the pramo- tion of child welfare, it is a most effective means of interesting boys and girls in building a better foun- dation for physical well being. It is the outcome of a growing desire to | renew the energies that have been | exhausting themselves through the neglect of sufficient outdoor life by generations that have focusséd their | attention too” comipletely upon mater- ial prosperity. Way To National Safety. (New York Press.) Charles' J. Bonaparte .has come very near to the true solution of get- ting the country into a satisfactory condition of military preparedness. His proposition is that the public cannot determine the size of the Army or: Navy: that it cannot decide what is needed; that its business is to say what it expects.of each, and that after it has said it is the busi- ness of the experts ana stategists to determine -how large, how appro- tioned and how equipped the service must be to meet requirements. Mr. Bonaparte sums up his own idea of these requirements as fol- lows: 1. The Navy should be in position | to dispute command of the seas with any power save England on equal ierms; this being necessary to pre- vent immediate invasion. 2. The Army should enough to permit the concentration | quickly at any coastal point of a | force 50 per cent. greater than the | force which any other power could dispatch here at once for purposes of invasion. He leaves it to the strategists to cdecide whether Germany, for instance, cculd send an expedition of 100,000 or | 1,000,000 men across the Atlantic. The difficulties of transport service, of provisioning and of maintaining com- munications, which would determine the size of the invading army, are for the experts to estimate. What we need is the means to prevent invasion by whatever may be the numerically practicable force. All may not agree with Mr. Bona- parte over the desiderara, though to most they will seem modest enough by any standard of defense. Bt he hits the naM squarely on the head when he intimates that what the nation is blindly, ignorantly groping for is ap assurance of sarety, and that it should- ask-boldly for it and leave to the authorities to determine what ust We done to get it, CLASS DAY EXERCISES HELD AT WESLEYAN be large Alumni Bodies and Reunion Classes Have Gatherings—Costume Par- ade to Ball Field.
