But we have only to re- member back stice forces of with Russia, far better fare than are the der this handicap ment is not to plans for an armi- with the Germans to see again the possibilities for disaster to Po- land. Where there is treachery on one side and a willingness to play fair on the other there is always such a danger. Possibly the Polish armies have plans for a last defensive in which their leaders have absolute confidence A withdrawal within their “legitimate boundaries™ might render these plans unavailable. It is asking a good deal of them to give them up, even in view of the promised aid of the Allles if the Soviets fail to keep to the spirit and letter of the law. The aid of the Allies would un- doubtedly make Poland victor in the end. But were they to withdraw now under the terms of the armistice, whatever war was subsequently waged, Allies or no Allies, would be in Poland proper. Consider the condition of France today—the condition of Belgium. Both are a mass of ruins. It has taken long and the work is still in progress to restore the fields. The bulldings, old and almost reverenced, will never be restored. It is this possibility that Poland has to face under the proposal of the Allles. Wise though it seems to be, Poland cannot be blamed for hesitat- ing about adopting its terms when one considers the nature of the enemy she is facing. Even with the aid of the Allies there would be terrible devastation to the home land before the Soviets could be stayed. Considering the com- paratively vast number in the Soviet armies, and considering the time it would take to get the men of the Allies Into action, Poland will not be blamed for hesitating to agree quick- ly to the plan of the Supreme Council. BOY SCOUTS GO ABROAD. Over three hundred Boy Scouts, at- tended by fifty Scout Leaders, have left this country to participate in the Junior Olympiad and international conference of Boy Scouts in London. The contests will be between boys from thirty-three nations.

There was an ele- ment in the selection, undoubtedly, that makes it a bit unfair as all hu. man selection must be. Physique and appearance must have had a great deal to do with it But the idea of the lads of America competing with others from all over the world, un- der the auspices that will manage this affair, brings its inspiration The Boy Scout movement has had wonderful growth, and the members of the organization have grown with it. One cannot disassociate the idea of the journey of these lads, from the sailing abroad of the American army, many of them little ofler than those who have just gone to take part in the contest so different Few of the army, probably, Scouts.

The heat o' summer is a lot like trouble in a way, though nobody likes sorrow as they does a fine, warm day. A chap has got to know real heat afore he claims “It's hot”; a chap must know a wae that's real to “cuss” the luck he's got. We mops our faces; says it's far too hot ta work a lick, while others works in warmer climes with no complainin’ kick. We looks lugubrious because we've little cash to spend: there's folks all o'er the earth who, suff'rin’ bravely face the end. We're angry when the iceman doesn’t fill the ice box prompt —a mother’s gazin' at the lawn whar her dead baby romped. The soft gray coils o' smoko rolls up, jest tender, like a child. Their acquiescence in the thought is sort o' soft an’ mild. “Our troubles seems so awful real,” it says, “we can't compare unpleasant things that's here today an' them that's wa off there. You humans must complain a bit; you know the summer’'s sweet But go ahead; it won't hurt none: complain about the heat.” while these enter into the duties of the teachers but incidentally. And to these leaders must be given much praise for their interest and success in making Boy Scouts representative of the best ideals of sturdy manhood. RATS, We hate rats pretty violently. But now comes news that will more than justify a hatred more intense. A membef of the Bureau of Bio- logical Survey calls the house rat the most destructive animal in the world, and declares that the rat is respon- sible for more deaths among human beings than all the wars of history. After citing many of the great plagues, spread by rats, the expert says that buildings should be con- structed so as to exclude rats from shelter and food. He urges that this be done individually, and that there- after community attempts to destroy them will bring satisfactory Probably few people will be arged to protect against something that proven to be so deadly. like cleanliness. pretty results. need to themselves has been Most people But most people get tired during a day of hard work, inside or outside the home. But the rat never tires of food. and dirt rather attracts than repels him. If this little warning causes someone to take a bit of extra pre- caution to protecting food from rats, and as to thus protecting them- selves, it will as be worth while.

GOES TO DEATH IN BARREL OVER FALLS Englishman Makes Attempt to Plunge Over Niagara Falls—Body Not Recovered. Niagara Falls, N. Y., July Charles G. Stephens of Bristol, was killed yesterday when he went over Horseshoe Falls in a barrel. The cask in which he made the trip, though built of stout Russian staves and bound with steel hoops. smashad like an egg shell on the jagged rocks at the base of che cataract the barrel were picked up near the bank on the Canadian side, but Ste- phens’ body has not been recovered. Rivermen say it may not come to the surface for a week or 10 days. Stephens who boasted the title of “dare devil,” was 58 years old and has a widow and 11 children in Bristol, where he was a barber. He served three years in France with the British army. He had planned 12.— Eng., to make a lecture tour of England if | his trip was successful. Bobby Leach, who went over Horseshoe Falls In 1911, told Stephens before he start- | ed that his trip would be a failure. man or boy is no less strong because he is gentle and courteous.

Leach was among the spectators who watched the start of Stephens' fatal trip. The barrel designed by Stephens for the trip was 6 feet 3 inches high. Tt had strap arrangements inside and an electric light system. Oxygen was carried which, Stephens said, would keep him alive for several hours if the barrel became caught in a back eddy under the falls. Stephens is the third to attempt the barrel trip over the fallf.

EMPRESS EUGEN DIES IN 95TH YEAR Famous Consort of Napoleon III. Ful- filled Hope of Seeing Germany Humbled. Madrid, July 12.—Eugenie, former empress of the French and consort of Napoleon III., died yesterday at Madrid, Spain, in her 95th year. Once the roval beauty of Europe's most splendid court, she was later to be known, when her throne was gone, her husband dead and her only son killed by the spear of a Zulu savage, as “Europe’s queen of sorrow.” Death occurred shortly before S o'clock from acute intestinal inflam- mation. She passed away quietly. in the presence only of her lady-in- waiting. Her nephew, the Duke of Alba, at whose residence she died, was in France, and t-- -‘“~r mem- bers of the family were absent. Em- press Eugenie had long suffered from opthaimia and had been operated on for cataract. Full imperial honors will be accorded her funeral. Eugenie's death closes a career of extraordinary contrasts of humility and splendor, of power and its loss. There was a time when she was the most favored and courted of sav- ereigns; the great figure of the sel- cond empire of France, the arbiter of fashion for women in the occi- dental world, the eminent beauty of Europe; and suddenly she was strick- en from her imperial height, widowed and presently made childless: and she passed into an old age of sorrow and lonecliness. Yet she carried her- self with a sad dignity which as the vears effaced the memories of earlier frivoliti won ration and Full as w matic con earijer life of dra- . still another was in store for ie when she was past 90 In 1S had seen her hus- and’s throne crumbled and her glory vanish Alone among all the great protagonists of that drama she lived to see the German might broken on the battlefield in 1918 and the Ger- man pride hunmibled when the Prus- sian emissaries were forced to drink at Versailles the peace treaty submitted to them there where, 50 years before, they had proclaimed their empire. The hope of witnessing such things had given her a fresh hold on life from the mament the war broke in 1914.
