Through a campaign of educa- tion that has extended over the years physicians have taught the public that many pulmonary diseases can be cured with the assistance of fresh air and plenty of it.

The new arrangement by which places of public assembly are to have telephone warnings of the approach of Zeppelins will be welcomed by most people as a sensible step. The cxperience of other cities where elah- stems of giving warning have been in operation for a long time has shown thati there is no fear of a panic.

Out upon the marshes the free west wind is blowing, Straight across the green ways, from the blue line of the sea. All along the narrow dykes, buttercups are golden, Heavenly blue forget-me-nots are blinking up at me, where As I stir in passing the sheep forsake thelr browsing And startled lambs leap out from their sheltered side and peer, The heron leaves her nest, the water rat drops plashing, The cuckoo to her loved mate is call- ing loud and clear. The Whistle of the west wind, the lark that rises singing, The rustle of the sedge-grass daisies gold and white, The air all full of perfume from the blossom of the hawthorn, The skies all full of music from morn until the night. the And—when the night is falling—out upon the marshes, She folds them in her tender and hushes them to sleep, always—If you listen—you hear the marsh frogs calling, The wakeful cricket chirping and the soft bleat of the sheep. mists But may Here are no chains that fetter, all earthly acres and sorrows in hand—for a little space— steal silently away, Almost-—T do helieve —that chill pale dawning, The blessed C(‘hrist Himself sometimes hath walked this way.

(Dallas, Tex., Morning New Opinions will differ as to Jju personal consideration it was that made Mr. Wilson the favoritc over Mr. Hughes in these and other repub- lican states. The fact that in nearly if not quite every instance they sent delegations to the house politicall op- posed to Mr. Wilson-suggests that the achievements of the democratic par- ty in the fleld of domestic affairs made a muoh less favorable impres- sion on the electorate than had been expected. Men who voged for the measures that malke up that remark- able record of achievement were can- ates for re-election; so that if the animating motive was a desire to ap- prove these legislative measures, the men who voted for the bills that Mr. Wilson signed ought to have been rewarded as he was. But they were not. The absolute legislative power which the democrats have exerclsed the last four years has been taken away from them. In the fleld of leg- islative action they can do only what their political opponents will permit them to do. But if a curb has been put on the president in the fleld of domestic politics, he has been left with all his present frecedom in the fleld of foreign politics. Here is a contrast, and one which seems to mock the politicians of all parties who presumed to gui the course of the popular instinct. For it must he remembered that the re- publicans cought the verdict on the issue of Mr. Wilson's performance in the fleld of foreign politics, wheres the democrats, while not secking io dodge that issue, thought that it was to their interest to ress Mr. Wil- son’s achievements in the field of do- mestic politics. We have a result which, insofar as it has any intelligi- ble reading, signifies the direct re- verse of that. What, by hoth the fol- lowers and the opponents of Mr. Wil- son, was thought to be the vulnerable side of his candidacy turns out to have heen the invulnerable one while that which both thought to be the stronger appears to have been tho vulnerable on However sic .) what ening the thousht may be to those chauvinists who cried to the people to disown Mr. Wilson as the only means loft for retrieving the honor of the nation, the people seem to have endorsed only ¢hose of his acts and policies which were held up as the proof of the degradation they charged against him. The popular and the professional notions of na- tional honor are manifestly at var- iance. The returns make it clear that Mr. Wilson was stronger than ty,, and they indicate that he ronger, not hecause of the many ex- cellent measures he has put through Congress, but because of his deter- mination to keep the country at peace so long as it is possible to do that without compromise of its honor.

The ‘Baglet’, as he s called, was just twenty-one when he died of tuberculosls in a room once occupied by his illustrious father on one of the occasions when he held Schonbrunn as his military headquar- {ters. A perhaps too highly colored and historically warped but superbly appealing picture of this deathbed has been given to the world by the dis- tinguished poet-playwright of France, IZdmond Rostand, in his widely known drama of ‘I’Alglon’. “Schonbrunn stands on the site of a hunting lodge built in 1570 and en- larged in the following century when it received the present name after a ‘beautiful fountain’ which adorned the grounds. During the Turkish in- vestment of 1683 the lodge was de- stroyed but a new building was begun thirteen years later.
