It is reported according to the Phil- ‘ndelphia Publi¢ Ledger, that there are mow'more . that 50,000 machine guns in the German army, ‘each ‘regiment having a mae¢hine gun company of six guns, manned by four officers. and ninety-two goldiers. This is a compu- tation to set one thinking. You can kill rflen; a machine gun’s life goes on until it is captured.. .Each one of them is in effectiveness equal to at least. a score of men. So .Germany has in its machine guns .alone a force eeual to a million men. It is a force that dosen’t kill, Add to that the mass of field artillery and seige guns large and ‘emall, and the unkillable, that is, the machine elemgnt cf the German army becomes tremendous, We have been accustomed to think of the outcome. of a Wur as a matter of men. Must we revise our thought, and regard it a matter of machines?

(Louisville Courier-Journal.) Kentucky militiamen who were militiamen a dozen years ago when the cow was killed at the rear of the court-house in Jackson by a volley ins tended for a man on horseback who “did not halt or respond orally when ordered to halt, will be glad to know that congratulations upon good mark- manship are being showered upon the officers and crew of an Italian de. stroyer which shelled and killed a whale in the Adriatic, mistaking it for a submarine. The' incident which made the cam- pgign in Breathit famous occurred at 11 o'clock im the evening, or there- about, and during a thunderstorm. THe 'jail contained a prisoner who was believed to ‘“know enough to hang Hargis"—a hired assassin who chief of his clan. It had been rumored that those who knew what “Curt” Jett knew, and might tell, would rush the jail and take, or pre~ ferably kill, the prisoner to shut his mouth. = The business of the soldiers was to keep the lid upon a situation which was not without a threat of judge, garded. When the cow, In the pitchy blackness, proceeded upon her way without regarding the order to halt, she met instant death, which reflect- manship of the men behind the rifles. Yet an effort was made to suppress the news of a humiliating error and a guffaw from the mountaineers and a titter acrass the state followed the leakage of the truth. . The whale, it may console veterans of ‘the Ereathit' campaign to know, wasg shelled in daylight under a blue sky. The destrover was manned by seasoned men and officers of the Ital- ian navy, All-The-Year Schools. (New Haven Union). “Allsthe-year schools for children whose vacation otherwise must tend to undo the results of the teaching of the conventional. school year are coming,” says the Boston Monitor. Educators will not deny this state- ment, and our vacation schoels in New Haven are an indication of the trend. There is no doubt that: the taxpayers wil demand this new. fea- ture on the ground of economic usage of the city school property as soon as’ they see the waste of the present dren of a continuous training and dis- cipline. ‘What of Mexico? (Bridgeport Post.) Two months ago President Wilson sent to the warring factions in Mexi- co a warning that they must cease their fighting, try to settle their«if- ferences and restore peace. Instead of heeding the warning matters have gone from bad to worse. New revoits and brigand raids have started up. Starvation is found in many sectiuns. Fighting continues in all directions. ton that the president has in contam- ‘plation a new line of policy. What Lthat will' be no one yet knows. is intimated that the administration has several under conmsideration. Washington is trying to guess which one will be adopted.

(Wall Street Journal.) It has been charged, by some illo- gical persons, that because the Walil Street Journal refuses to condone the rape of Belgium, or the murder of non-combatants on the high seas and elsewhere, it does not reflect German | opinion. It is worth while, therefore, to submit the opinion of one of Ger- many's greatest writers: “I regard this Prussian Eagle wlth apprehension, and while others vaunt his daring glances toward the sun. T look the mors attentively at his claws. “I could ‘not trust this Prussia, this tall, pietistic hero in sgaiters, this braggart with the capacious carrying a corporal’s staff, which he first dips in holy water before bring- ing it down upon one’s head. “I.had great misgivings about thiy medley of beer, deceit and Branden- burg sand. “Repulsive, deeply repulsive to me was ever this Prussia, this pedantic, hypocritieal, sanctimonious Prussia—- this Tartuffe among nations. “Prussia has made use of its most the world that all Germany ought to be Prussian—Hegel himself has been | obliged to demonstrate the advantages 1 of servility.” 1"~ This was written by Heinrich Heine in 1832, but nobody would call it out’ of ‘date. It is, in fact, strikingly in line with 'a criticism of the Prussian charaetér published in the New o¥ri- Staats Zeitung nine vears ago. The quotation can be left to speak for itself. Although the Prussian pro- fessional .mind believes it can im- prove upon Shakespeare,’ the Wall Street Journal does not hold a like view about its own relative abilities and Heine’s. What The Doctor’s Wife Found, (Philadelphia Record). The well-established practice ' of 'sewing up sponges, towels and small surgical instruments in wounds made in patients qught to be confined to the laity. A man who is not a doctor /or surgeon is not expected to know ‘what is the matter with himseif, and if he objects to hardware and tex- tiles in an incision he can be dispos- ed of by the assurance that he doesn’t know what is good for him, and has i no degree or certificate authorizing him to discuss surgery. But when a towel or napkin 10 inches square was sewed up in anincision made in Dr. J. Edgar Todd, of Toms River, the ethics of the proféssion were vio- lated because the victim was a doe- tor. The wound made seven months ago did not heal, and when Mrs. Todd was dressing it she saw some- ithing white hanging out of her hus- band. Believing it to be no part of him, she pulled it out.

There are some things whica a town, no matter how enterprising | ana M‘ojreulve it may be, cannot get | ex¢ept through the melowing proce of yedrs. Old shade trees, old build- | ings, o6ld families are not produced in a.day. Then, too, private munificence comes slowly. Nearly all the old towns in Connecticut are ornamented with memorials of some sort, the ac- cumulation of generations. Thete are memorial churches and libraries ana échools ana hospitals and monuments and parks and bridges. These are the donations of individuals or families | Who through long and toilsome years have accumulated wealth and then through lack of descendants or love for the old town have bestowed their money for some public use. Manchester has grown rapidly and notwithstanding its prominent place in the property lists and census tables of -the state, it is yet an infant com- | pared with most of our towns. Its streets have been devéloped so' rap- |’ , idly that there has been'no time to { line ‘them with arching elms. It i has been all we could do to equip | them with service mains and side- walks. - Hundreds of our dwellings are palpably new and the. groumis surrounding them, though in mest instances neatly kept, lack the ver- dant velvety turf and the maturea shrubbery and trees which long time and care alone can produce. We are | eficlent in parks and other mem- | orials for the same reason. Nothing adds more to the attrac- , tiveness of a place then well shaded | streets. Nor do we have to wait for someone to get rich and die in order to get them. Anyone can plant a object of’ beauty. He may not live to see it mature, but those who fol- | low him will thank him for his fore. sight as they enjoy its grateful shade.

Hail to the l‘a—t Man. (St. Paul Pioneer-Press.) Quaint, fascinating and historica: in its significanceis the custom of fhe | survivors of Co.

If he survives the firs he may live a half-century or more as these men have lived. 'But nowadayvs as these aged veterans gather abomnt the festal board their paysical youth gone, they know there is no chance.

Connecticut Banks and New York (Providence Jourpal.) ' Fifty-two banks in Connecticut, in the territory west of the Connecticut river, have petitioned the Federal Re~ serve Board to be transferred from the Boston regional district to the New York one. This movement is encouraged, no doubt, by the success of the hundred or morq members in northern New Jersey in permission to change over from éadelphia to New York. There have been other such justments, too, through of less portance.
