It is true that in this war | the entente allies are in the position of avenging the despoliation of Bel- gium and fighting for the restoration of the rights of Serbia. Their griev- ance against the American attitude comes largely from that viewpoint. They cannot see how the Germany that waded through Belgian blood can be placed on the same plane with those nations that went out to avenge a ¢rime against humanity. They can- not become reconciled to the thought of being made partners in crime with Prussian militarism against which they have pledged themselves to fight until it is completely annihilated. But their thoughts are not the thoughts of America oy its President. On this side of the Atlantic there is a deep sympathy with all the peoples who are engaged in the greatest war of all time. Despite the hot tempers that let loose at the outbreak of hostilities and kept this country in a constant state of division for nearly two years, the vast majority of our people are neutral to the extent that they are for American interests over and above any special advantages that might accrue from a victory by one side or the other in Europe. The world’s welfare stands pre-eminently higher than the defeat of Germany or the victory of the en- tente powers, or vice versa. That is the President’s position and the sooner the statesmen of Europe attribute to him motives that are right and just instead of maligning his action the better will it be for all concerned. A NEW YEAR’S GIFT. By ordering FEliseo Arredondo, the Mexican designate, to leave the United States at once, the wily old General Carranza is playing a game of politics designed to place him in the good graces of the Mexican people with whom he seems to be fast losing hold. In reality, there should be no great sorrow over the departure of Arredondo for it is well known that he is a trouble maker of the first magnitude. He has never been an admirer of the American people and never will be, however much he may express his good wishes. He regards the words American and Gringo synonomous. Nor has he forgiven the Wilson administration for its failure to send the American ambassador, Fletcher, to Mexico. Because Fletcher, although confirmed some months ago, was never assigned to his post Arre- dondo has not attained the true sta- tus of an ambassador. He has heen one in name only,—designate. Had the administration placed full confi- | Ambassador as dence in the pledges of Arredondo and | Carranza there would never have been | any doubt about Arredondo’s position. !

Two Unbalanced Accounts. (Youth’s Companion). A well known business man in Law- | rence, Mass., once had a customer | who contracted a debt that ran along | unpald for a year or more, and even several letters failed to bring about a settlement. One day, | while glancing over the | religious notices in a local paper, the | business man saw something that gave him a new idea. He went to his desk and wrote the following note | to the debtor: | “My dear sir—I see in the local press that you are to deliver an ad- on Friday evening before the A. on “The sinner's unbal- anced account.

York Correspondence to the | Pittsburgh Dispatch.) | The old-fashioned lawyer—the | family lawyer, who was guide, phil- | osopher and friend, who had charge of the family estate, presided over | all testaments and documents, was asked for advice about investments, consulted bout the school and the college to which the boys or girl should be started on his career, was | looked to by anxious parents for a grave opinion as to the moral, fin- ancial and social status of the young man who had sought the hand of the daughter of the house, was the hon- ored guest at all family functions— does not exist in New York any more. He has become extinct like the dodo. The pressure of business duties and the increasing hustle and bustle of legal life have crowded out his social functions. It is now the funec- tion of the lawyer to keep his client out instead of getting him out of court. There is also considerable tendency toward specializing and consolida- tion. Four or five lawyers take a suite of offices together and enter into a sort of partnership. One spe- cializes on torts, another on contract | cases, another on constitutional cases, carriers, corporations and other branches. Another case of ‘“‘special- ization” is the “business getting” law- ver who knows practically no law in obtaining clients. He belongs to clubs and fraternities, travels a great deal and is seen little in the office.

(Cincinnati Enquirer). He had been married about a year and had taken to spending his eve- nings downtown with the boys. One night his conscience worried him and he thought he would phone his wife and get her to come down and meet him and have dinner with him. So he called her up. “Hello, kid,” he began. ‘‘Say, slip on some old clothes and run down and meet me on the quiet. We'll have a good dinner and then we'll get a machine and go out and smear a little red paint around.

C., Dec. 28.—At this time when the Central Powers seem to be straining every nerve to control the lower Danube, and thus make that river from its source to its mouth a bearer of their war munitlons and trade, the following bulletin prepared by the National Geographic society, with headquarters at Washington, is of striking interest: “The scenic glories of the Danube are chiefly to be seen along the upper reaches of the river; but the broad highway of the lower reaches is at present of more interest, for the traf- fic it carries may be a factor in the conflict of European nations. Mean- while, the river is weaving itself into the present day history of its contin- ent as*it has woven itself into the events of two thousand years past. “Below Giurgevo and Rutschuk the | Danube widens to about three miles from bank to bank. Giurgevo, a point of great strategic importance, is ac- cessible by river steamers at high wa- ter and has an auxiliary port about two miles further down stream. “The lower Danube has a very slight fall, only 120 feet in the last 600 miles of its length, but because of the great colume of water, in- creased as it goes on by the Alt, the Argesch, the Jalomitza, the Sereth, and the Pruth, as well as smaller streams, it flows with great force. The Bulgarian banks are high; the Rou- manian shore is low and flat and often overflowed.

They are really vast fens overgrown with willows and reeds, abundant with wild birds and half- wild swine, and cut in every direction by little streams. “Silistria, the ‘fortress of the Dan- ube’ since Roman times, though of less military importance today when Galatz is the next place of striking interest below Rutschuk. A Roman relie, Trajan’s Wall, may be seen from the river below Silistria, and forty miles from that city there is a rail- road bridge over two and a half miles long and the only one below Belgrade, connecting Bucharest and the Black sea port of Constanza. This is one of the most remarkable examples of its kind of EnBIidefing and was built at a cost of .§7,000,000. Tt has ‘sixty- eight spans, ane of which, over the main stream, 'is a cantilever more than 600 feet long. The bridge has a height of 120 feet above low water, and the piers go down to bed rock 100 feet below the water surface, making them nearly one-half as high as the Washington monument. “Hirsove and Gura-Jamolitza are | the next places of importance, both fortified. The river at Hirsova broad- ens like a sea with many islands. The {town with its fortified castle is pret- | tily situated on a hilltop above the surrounding flats. 4 | “The more important of the river's ports are next approached. Braila, unlovely and monotonous of aspect, 1s, however, the chief Roumanian port of entry, before the war a town of over 50,000 inhabitants and a center of the grain and timber trades. Between Braila and Galatz are the ruins of an ancient bridge said to have been McMILLAN’S New Britain’s Busy Big Store ¢ “Always Reliable” SEE THESE Womens' Misses’ and Children’s * built by Darius the Great. “The latter city, about ten miles below Braila, is a very thriving port in peace times. Vessels of 4,000 tons can come up the river to this point. Between Galatz and the confluence with the Pruth the Danube makes its turn to the east. Here begins a sec- | tion of the river which even com- plete success of the Central Powers in Wallachia and Dobrudja will not place in their control, for on its left bank lies Bessarabia, Russian terri- tory. “An interesting feature of the Rus- sian side here are the ends of long lakes which run north - and south. These were once streams which flowed down into the Danube but were grad- ually barred by alluvial banks from reaching the river and, driven back on’| their own courses, have widened into long narrow lakes. “‘Sixty miles from the sea begins the delta of the Danube. The Kilia, the most northern of the branches into which the river divides, carries more than two-thirds of the volume of its water to the sea, but it is not deep enough for the more important traffic, which moves by the more direct branch through the middle of the del- ta to Sulina. Here a natural channel of seven to eleven feet has been in- creased to twenty, and long dikes stretch out to sea and carry off the silt. Although it discharges less than seven per cent. of the Danube's wa- ter’s, the Sulina channel carries a shipping which multiplied tenfold be- tween 1861 and 1902. It was steadily increasing with a promise of future prosperity when the war interfered. The Danube Steam Navigation com- pany was reporting two million tons a vear previous to 1914. “For nearly one hundred miles from Sulina up to Galatz and Braila, the chief harbors for sea-going vessels the river is navigable for 4,000 or less. Sea-going vessels up to 600 tons and flat barges under 2,000 capacity can go to Turnu Severin. Above that point, navigation is confined to steam- ers, tugs and barges drawing six feet of water.” WINS ILOVE OF HELD DIVER. Enemy of Dogs Gains Friendship of a Chivalrous Bird. (St. Paul Pioncer-Press.) John Moak, city poundmaster, has many friends, but few are aware that his most intimate acquaintances are Jerry and Jenny Grebe. No, they aren’t dogs. Just two little brown birds commonly known as hell div- ers, They took possession of a near his Como home ten years ago and have returned regularly every season. One summer night Mr. Moak approached the edge of the pond. Jerry saw him coming and swam toward the shore. Since then the acquaintance has ripened into a deep friendship.

The National Guard regulations, which will be amplified in great de- tail later, also strike at the problem of dependent families of soldiers, which has cost the government sev- eral milllons of dollars through the border mobilization. Recruiting offi- cers for the National Guard are di- rected to discourage the enlistment of married men or those with others dependent on them, Such person: are to be accepted only for reasons in | the public interest, men who wish to become officers being the only class specifically excepted. Tt is provided in the regulations that no officer of the guard hereafter shall | be recognized as such under the de- fence act unless he shall have sub- scribed to an oath binding him to obey the orders of the president and of the governor of his state. Appointments will be made on rec- ommendation to the secretary of war from governors or the commanding officers of state or territorial units of the guard and after proper physical and mental examination by boards of officers. Promotions will be handled in the same way and any officer who fails in the examination as to his pro- fessional ability cannot come up for re-examination ‘within a vear.
