Because of the extraordinary @etions, of war the countries in Bu- rope are now facing a serious’ agli- Guitural situstion. [Orders have Bone forth in some lands for the curtail- ment' of all things that go to make up the luxuries of life and the people are lying on the bare necessaries. The gonditton abroad, in all itg ‘into réfsf the wonderful prosperity that has been atténdant upon this ‘Country for the past three or four years and ‘which,swe. are told by the lexperts, will reach its zenith at the ‘elose of the present season, " Nature ",b.j. een exceedingly gra- cious to these Uhited States of Amer- ica.

Of course, | there will come a time when it wonid | be foolish to ralse such large crops as | age being put forth in this counufy: at the present time. When Europe set- | tles again to the normal life, when men are plowing the fields of ths old 'world instead of destroying and pillaging the land then will American. ! commodities be curtailed, and busi- ness seek its regular channel.

FR!E)‘"JLY‘." _ Inktead 'of being “deliberately un- | friendly,” the submarine attack fln' the American steamer Leelanaw was as far as such an attack could be, “deliberately friendly.” The com<‘] mander of the German /submarine hailed the captain of the Leenanaw; the ship was visited and searched; the crew was taken to safety,. and the Leenanaw was sent to the.'bottom,—— all within the bounds of law! : There is no cause for anxiety over this latest phase of the international, situation. Coming so closely on the heels of President Wilson's final warning to the German government the attack on the American ship had all the earmarks of an affront. But with. the facts clearly established all cause for worry has- been brushed aside. It was on April 18 of this year that the German government declared flax Leelanaw was laden with flax, bound from Archangel to Belfast, ostensibly to get her cargo into England. Ger- many therefore had every right to of the officers and crew of the Leela- naw the commander of the German submarine has shown that the under- | sea craft can conform to-the princi ples which President Wilson has in sisted must be respected.

It is well for our citizens, including especially those of German extraction, ‘to, understand thatsthe furnishing of ~munitions of war to the battling na- tions of Eurepe by United States man- ufacturers is not all one-sided, by any ‘{ means. Take the case of the sales of the ‘Bethlehem Steel company. It is au- thoritatively stated that a large part of that company’s earnings for 1913 and for the first part of 1914 came ! ,| from Germany, which country took ore than Half of the Bethlehem’ tput before the outbreak of the war.

London, It ‘was while in New York that he teld what purports tc be the explana- tion story of his quarrel with Mr. Eryan. They were both in the dining room of the Asheville Hotel where Dr. Broughton had been lecturing on the war. room to speak to Dr. Broughton, “blazing with anger,” as the dootor re- ports, because of what Dr. Broughton hus sald in these lectures. They talked 5o loud that several people. around them stopped to listen. As the de- bate waxed hot Bryan saild to his clergyman friend: ‘‘You are untrue to Christ, to your churcn and to your Christian teachings.” This was more than Dr. Broughton could stand and 1 e retorted: *“Mr. Bryan, I believe that I have known your pro-German yiews Yor a long time and I am not surprised at your stand now.” This turned the discussion. from Dr. _roughton’s views to Mr. Bryan's and for a time the latter was engaged in trying to demonstrate that he had no pro-German views.

That the Mexican situation is in- deed serious, even critical, is indicat- ed by the fact that none of the vari-/ ouy Mexiéan governments, Carran- aista, Villista, Zapatista and so forth, has found timie to protest against the | acquittal of Tse-Ne-Gat, a Piute In- dian, on the charge of killing a Mex- ican sheepherder in Southern Colo- rado.—Springfield Union. One would think that the British would now make their long promised drive in force in the west and so-call off the German advance in Poland and take away the pressure from the Rus- sian armies, as they are evidently in a precarious pesition. Russia may well exclaim to England, “This is the time when a fellow needs a friend.”"—Wa- tertown Times. The most improved development of | the submarine is not the guarantee.of | its efficacy.

Students Who Earn Their Way. (Bouth Norwalk Sentinel.) University of Chicago students earned last year, through jobs sup- plied by the university employment bureau, the respectable sum of $148,- 510. And that's only part .of the Story. There may have been just as much earned by students who ~ob- tained work through their own efforts The wage-carning activities of the students embraced every trade and profession. Some of them earned their | college expenses = as siclans or entertainers at receptions, theaters. Others did houséwork and cooking—about $15,- 000 worth, Men with political inelin- atlons worked at the polls on election day. “Among the various men and girls paying their own way Were bookkeepers, chauffeurs, clerks, cashiers, elevated conductors, jani- tors, messengers, actors, truckmen, salesmen, models, advertising solici- tors, teachers, stenographers and typ- ists, telephone operators, carpenters, plumbers, paper hangers, barbers, translaters, tutors, ushers waiters ana others lesg easily classified. Altogeth- er the employment bureau found re- munerative work for 1,170 tudents. It'is an irapressive fact that so many students were able to earn money to pay for their education. That 18 one of the adyantages of at- tending college in a big city. It is still more impressive that they were not .ashamed of doing any honest work, with either their heads or their hands, in the pursuit of learning. That is the most distinctive thing about American colleges. In an English university a student, however poor, doesn’t dare to soil his | hands-in ‘“menial work,” or even to work for money in any way, to pay his College expenses. He must be a “gentleman,” which is to =say, he must be a non-producer; he must let the “serving classes” do whateves work has to be done. Merely by “can- vassing for books” in vacation he would lose caste. In his college town if he goes to a store and buys a pair of socks, he doesn't dare carry the parcel home himself. It “isn’t done.' There is no such snobbery inany American college. The most hopeful thing about American higher eduea- tion is its genuine spirit of democracy which permits the student who waits on table for his fellow students to mingle with them socially on terms of complete equality. Such a system is a guarantee that the nation’s democratic ideals will be safely carried on by the men and wo- men destined to furnish future leaders of public opinion. a guarantee, too, that the will not wander in mazes of imprac- tical theory and dreams. Working for his living in the active world dur- ing his college course keeps a stu- den’s feet planted - firmly on the ground and helps to strengthen and equip him for reail life. Running the Family. (Norwich Record.) There are two scales of living cost on which one can run a family. One scale is based in indiscriminate, hap- | hazard buying, running into the first store and buying the fered without making any effort to compare goods and prices. No busi- ness man can run a factory in that way and family must either go into debt or go without many things it might just as well have. The other way to run a family is to watch the market, the offerings that the deal- ers are making in the newspapers. The family that keeps careful watch in this manner should be able to re- duce its living costs from 25 to 30 per cent. For the great majority of such families this advice is needless first thing of- as they already watch the newspaper | if not closcr | advertising as closely, than they do the daily news but som> families who growl about the cost of living have a good deal to learn in Obey the Ten Commandmen (Norwich Bulletin.) Our government is more paternal than we are in the habit of recogniz- ing, and if we only had a national board of health instead of 48 state boards, we could get our command- ments direct from Washington. Here are the . ten commandments from the health boards: 1—Don't over-eat.. 2—Don’t drink to excess: 3.—Don’t go.in bathing with a full stoma¢h. 4—Don’t fegd salt pork to baby. .4—Don’t exposs baby’'s bald head to.the.hot sun. 6— Don’t mix ice cream, beer and ci- cumbers, 7—Don’'t get heated then rest where it is drafty.' 8.—Don’t let fiies drown in the milk or the soup. 9.—Don’t drink polluted water fromn old wells. 10—Don’t try to settle the European war in an argument. These are good commandments and worth obeying. Perhaps most folks are so hecdless they need have them issued annually like a tax collector’s notice, Obedience to them will pre- vent sickness, save expense and may lead to the avcidance of, pain. A Cure For Leprosy. (Waterbury Democrat}, Dr. Mercade of the Philippines an- nounces that he has found a cure for leprosy and discharged twenty-three patients absolutely well. The chief element in the cure appears to be an essence obtdined from the Indian plum tree, and called chaulmooga oil. It is not a new drug, and in fdct has beén used before for this malady, though considered a mere pallia- tive rather than a specific. remeay. It seems likely that the hygenic treat- ment accompanying the use of the oil has as much to da with the cure as the redicine has. Many medical Investigators . have declared that leprosy is meither so incurable nor so contagious as popular opinion has always held. It may be that the ailment called leprosy which prevail- ed in ancient times in Egypt and Pal- mu-~ most of our ) It is | students | | in Europe in theé middie r more virulent then the pi “day leprosy, Or was' es- sentially different. At any rate, there have been occasional recorded in recent’years, and nurses ers have lived for long perfods catching the disease. It has been pretty generally agreed among mod- ern physicians that while leprosy is i‘ contagious malady," caused by a | Berm, it seldom - attacks a cleanly i and well nourished man or Woman. A wholesame diet and attention to the ordinary civilized rules of hy- | Biene are found to be almost certain preventives. The,wave of excitement and fear that spreads through whole communities when a leper is dis- covered among them is about 90 per on old traditions. Mob Taw in Georgia. (Bridgeport Standard.) An expert statistician at Tuskegee Institite, Ala, every six months makes put a careful report of the number of lynchings in the country and the location of them, in that time. Tuskegee has just sent out the report for the last six months, and as has been his custom, without a word of comment, leaving the fact to for themselves. | Inbriet the showing s as follows: In the first six months of the pregent year there were 34 lynchings in the United States, 13 more than for ths fame period last year. Of lynched 24 were negroes and 10 weie Whites, tour more negroes and nine | more whites than a year ago. of the lynchings, one-fourth of the entire number, were in Georgla. Only Seven, six negroes and one white man, Wwere put to death for assaults upon white women, while the other causes Were “stealing” and the “suspicion of stealing. No comment on the showing is needful and the thoughtful reader can | point all the moral that the matter suggests, unassisted. Georgia seems to be the storm center for the greater part of this form of public activity. ard other like matters in the same state have lately attracted wide at- tention. Is the average of public sentiment in Georgia for or against the con- tinuation of such practices? The an- swer to thig question must come in time and with it a fixing of the status of the people of that great commonwealth in the scale of ciwli- zation and enlightment. We have faith that there are better elements in Georgla ‘strong enough to control these evil manifestations and redeem the good name of the state from the bad repute that their toleration must entail, but it is encumbent upon the better elements to assert themselves at least to the extent of disapproving the violation of law and the outrages of mob rule.

She stepped. to-her left, squarely in his way. e Gallantly he sprang to the oppeosite wall, but again she blocked his path. Angrily he seized her in his mus- cular arms and hurled her past him, spinning her dizzily down the hall Recovering her balance, she moved | toward him with purpose in her eye. | “I beg pardon for my seeming rude- | ness,” he hastened to apelogize, | there seemed to be no other way. | “Don’t mention it’ she replied, r‘ smiling brightly. “Perhaps it is dis- | courteous for a gentleman to lay vio- | 1ent hands upon a lady who is a per= | fect stranger to him, but I can easily | averlook that, for you see, sif, we have unconsciously invented a new | dance.” That evening in the ballroom | the Hotel De-Duxe-sur-Mer the | popular Corridor Collide was { demonstrated befare the dancing pub- ! tie. | of now The President’s English.

President Wilson in his public papers and addresses has so impressed | the country with his firm grasp of the | English language and his mastery of { himself to blame if 6ne can detect in an address a lapse that would in the case of another be dismissed from the | mihd. A large reputation achieved i in a given direction is apt to prove to | be embarrassing when used as a meas- | ure of an unconscious lapse. | In the most recent note dent the German government by the state de- | partment a lapse in the use of Eng- lish comes in the first ph, and for it we must hold the rather than the secretary of state, re- sponsible. It was the president who gave the note his most concentrated study for lapses of every character, and it is, therefore, the president who must step to the desk for a deserved, but kindly administered, rebuke; such a stimulating rebuke as he must have given his students many a time. We quote from the note at its very be- ginning, for it is there that the error occurs: “The note of the Imperial German government, dated the 8th of { July, 1915, has received the careful consideration of the government of the United States, and it regrets to be obliged to say that it hag found it very unsatisfactory because it fails etc. and purists generally, will want to know at once whether it is the Ger- nmian note or the government of the United States that ‘regrets to be obliged to say,” etc. American note as we have quoted it, perienced a laceration of its feelings, while, of course, it is the government of the United, States that feels injured in its feelings.
