It s surprising that the Germans should make a wholesale charge against the Americans of being hostile to their native land,.and, disposed .to keap from them the truth with refer- ence to military advances and re- sults. " They should know that Germany cut the cables and made it impossible for the American press to get news direct from the fatherland, and the press has to strive in the face of almost insur- mountable impediments to get at the truth. The American press !s the freest and fairest enlightener of the people on earth and its endeavor is to serve all classes of citizens well, The New York Sunday Times ad- vises our German citizens right when it says: “We must ask our German friends to exercise the virtues of calm. ness and tolerance, Surely they would not deny to the men and the news- papers of America the right to ex- press their honest opinions. The Ger- man-Americans have a right to their own opinions, just as the equal right to discuss the events of this war, to apportion praise or blame, and to de- plore the excessive devotion to mil- itarism shown by some of the Euro- pean powers must be conceded.” — M AMERICAN NEUTRALITY. The maintenance of neutrality has been made more difficult by recent inventions amonz which wireless tele- graphy figures as a new feature. When it comes to this important service we do not think of Uncle Sam's ‘wateh dogs of the sea under the guise of the revenue cutter service. ~ Today 43 armed cutters, tugs and launches, manned by 1,728 officers and enlisted men are scouring the seas. One may be going to sea to blow up & derelict that has become dangerous to navigation: another searching a #hip for smuggling goods or examin- ing her sailing papers, while a third may be on the way to ‘suppress mu- tiny or piracy, or to enforce neutrality laws of American ports. Our neutrality permits no enlist- ments or orgapization of belligerents on American sofl, except reservists ‘who have not become American cit- izens, but it does not allow cempul- sidn, or punishment of them, so long as they are within our borders, No fighting vessel can be fitted out for any of the belligerents—no spying craft be allowed in American waters, and this thres mile zone is measured from headland to headland, not along the indentations of the coast. Belligerent warships may use our harbors, however, without violation of neutrality so0 long as they remain only 24 hours, unless they are forced to remain longer by stress of weather or by taking on supplies. They may take on only such supplies as will sustain the crew and the ship to the nearest home port. Munitions of war may be manufactured and sold here, but if an attempt 1s made to dellver them to a belligeregt outside of Amer- ican jurisdietion Hhi attempt does so at his own peril and forfeits the right to claim protection by this government. The wireless stations have all been placed under the supervision of the navy and the dispatches must all be censored by government supervisors. The government has been investi- gating a couple of German-controiled stations, one at Tuckerton, N. J., the other at Sayville, L, I. Both these sta- tiens have been In communication ‘with the German trulsers off our coast end code messages have been sent them, presumably telling of the where- abouts of lish and French steam- ers and 1ps, . This is a clear violatidn of mewtral- ity and was immediately stoppod. Tt ghows Germany omitted nothing in its ealculations when planning thig surprise for the nations, Where old natoralized aliens return to who “makes the'| may be bombarded by ships safe from any mine fleld; so far distant as to be out of sight of land. But the unknown flotilla. ~Admiral Sir Percy Scott has declared that the development of the submerine has made the continued existence of the battleship next to imposstble. “Any German fleet would approach Britain in peril of meeting perhaps the world’s most powerful submarine navy. But it is terribly opvious that the gal- lant British fleet, seeking to engage the Germans and likely approaching the narrow entrance to the Baltic, is also exposed to a devastating German submarine attack—against which there is mo defense. The hour is more for quiet contemplation than for boastful singing and hysterical cheerin, for thought of the brave men willingly going to perform what they have been taught to consider their duty, and for prayer that the world may be deliv- ered speedily from its travail. CANADA TO SEND MEN AND FOOD The fact that Canada proposes to organize 200,000 men for service in defense of the British flag and to send 10,000,000 bushels of Canadian grain ifor the Britons as a gift shows the lovalty of the people to the mother country. A promoter in this scheme savs: “It would be futile to furnish Can- adian battleships. It has no crew trained to man even one battleship. Fifty crews could be raised in a week’ to run the blockade across the Atlan- tic. Ten million bushels of Canadian grain. for Britain would be a truly Canadian gift to the mother country; aid from the prairies and from the maritime provinces, a way acceptable to Ontario and Quebec. Tt would solve one of the most pressing of Britain's problems: food supply. As well as being perhaps the most effective ald Canada can give and the most truly national, it has the advantage of be- ing unsuliied and free from political partisan maneuvering. It could be isupported by comservatives and lib- erals and nationalists without any question of political capital. It is a measure of real aid: ten million bush- els of Canadian grain for Britain on Canadian ships manned by Cans- dians” SO SR TO REGULATE CHILD LABOR. The house committee on labor in congress has voted to report the Pal- mer-Owen bill favorably with certain minor-amendments. The bill prohibits interstate commerce in the products of child labor and is regarded as the ost effective child labor bill ever brought before congress. Goods in the production of which children under 14 have been employed, in factorfes. or under 16 in mines or quaries, or In the production of which children under 16 have worked more than eight hours a day, cannot be shipped In interstate commerce ac- cording to the bill. The national child labor committee is working for the measure and many state child labor committees, women's clubs, churches. and labor organiza tions have signified their interest in its passage. The American Medical association, at its recent session at Atlantie.. City, drew up a resolution asking congress to pass this bill, Those opposing the measure were given a hearing by the house commit- tee, but in spite of their arguments the bill will be reported favorably. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘War not only makes reputations, but blasts them. Of all the bells that man has bless- ed the dinner bell sounds the best. The oldest living graduate is just as persistent as the oldest Mason. The Germans had the American coast wireless stations in their scheme till they were caught. President Wilson is-not bold in his offer to act as a peacemaker. He is willing but not anxious. There is no neutrality for the American mule. for war service in Europe. s Ttaly does not see anvthing for her- self in the kaiser's foolhardy scheme, so she declines to join forces. As a deliberative body the interstate commission is not much spryer than the United States supreme court. The 1dol of Windham county seems to have got pushed out of sight in the bric-a-brac on the democratic what-not. Prof, Fisher of Middletown wants to be governor, but there are no in- docations the people of Conneeticut want him, AR R o Good would come of this mad cam- palgn if it prompted the Germans to uproot imperialism and declare for democracy. ‘The Germans burned a little Belgian city and butchered most of the in- habitants.

The latest in perfume bottles is vne whose stopper fits to the bottom of the baottle. With this stopper fhe French women, it is sald, touch the eyebrows, the lobes of the ears, the lips, brush the halr lightly and finish with a pat or two on the throat. DUSTLESS DUSTER. Cheesecloth makes the best dua- ters. It costs but six cents a yard. Sufficient quantity for two or three dusters should be purchased, cut gn desired lengths and . This was the old-style duster, which sim- ply scattered the dust; then came the wonderful and magic dusters, mhich seemed to suck up the dust. There is a simple and inexpensive method of preparing the new ones for home use. Purchase a small quantity of crude oil, saturate them in the oil, but before doing this the cheese- cloth should be wrung out of hot water, then dipped into the ofl. Aa-: other way of preparing very go-d ones is to saturate the cheesecloth in kerosene oil, hang them up in the sunlight to dry. These are bo.n practical, and gquite as efficient as those on the market which sell from 25 to 46 cents each. SALT EXTRACTED. Tt is an easy matter to drop too0 muech salt in the potatoes or peas. To remove the salt streich a clean cloth over the vessel and sprinkle a table- spoonful or more of flour on the cloth and allow the contents to steam. in a short time the flour will have absorbed the sait. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Don't wear a veil more than twe or; three times without washing it. A saleratus foot bath is most re- freshing for eiderly persons who can- not take much exercise. If your hair is very oily, try dip- ping your brush in water and pass- ing it through your hair two or three times a week. This will prevent su. perfiuous oil. The air of a room may be freshenad by putting a few drops of oil of lav- ender into a bowl of boiling water and letting it stand until the water is quite eold. The fumes of burnt camphor inhaled will dry up a running cold; 1. e.. place a piece of camphor in a saucer, set fire to it; after a minute or two breathe the fumes. \ To apply hair tonic to the scalp use medicine dropper, as it enables you not only to gauge the amount, but apply it to the spot desired. Bermudan women are noted for their fine complexions. This is part- ly accounted for by the fact that they eat plentifully of onions, says an ex- change. Any dressing that excludes the air' from a slght burn or scald will re- lieve the pain and promote healing. The white of eggs is an dressing of this kind and also ing soda dampened sufficiently to cover the burn. A baby's thirst is not satisfied bv its diet of milk. He should be given clean cool water regularly every day. Bolied water cooled and given between feed- ings will often aid digestion and quiet estlessness. Regular hours, proper tood and long hours of sleep are nec- essary to a healthy infant. WATERPROOF MATCHES. ‘Who has not at some time had the experience of finding themselves miles away from sources of supplies with only damp matches with which to light the fire? It is said that matches can be water-proofed without injur- ing them by dlpmx‘fhm in very hot meited parafine. er they are cool they are ready for use. The parafine is eaid not to injure their usefulness. WANT DRY, MEALY POTATOES? Did you ever try putting a piece of lime(the size of a hen's eg®) in the water when you are boiling po- tatoes? Try it, and you will find that the potatoes will be dry and mealy. RICHELIEU EMBROIDERY. It is a revival of the old Roman embroidery, of which there are three classes—Venetian, Renalssance and Richelleu. The form usually ssen is the ma- chine “cut work.” In all forms of this work buttenholing outlines the pattern and the spaces between are cut away, DICTATES OF FASHION. _peculiarly decorative Buttons are this season.

It is easy to remove finger marks from woodwork by applying a clean cloth dipped in kerosene. Then wipe with a cloth wrung out of hot water. HOW TO PLASTER. To repair holes or cracks in walls, secure some fresh mortar. Clean out the holes with a brush, remove all loose plaster thoroughly, wet the slais and old plaster with a sponge, fill up { the hole or cracks with fresh mortar, pat down even. ! over again with knife or trowel.

A piece of waxed paper placed ®hder the centerpiece of a polished table will prevent the linen from adhering to the table in hot weather, as well as prevent a stain from' cold water or an overfilled vase or rose bowl. STAIN REMOVERS. Use boiling water for tea stains. Use salt and lemon jfuice on ink stains. * Mud stains should be soaked kerosgne. Rub grass stains with molasses and wash. in Turpentine or benzine,K will remove paint stains. Seorch stains, remove by exposing to_the sunshine. Tar stains should be soaked warm milk and salt. To rémove acid stains, use am- monia or chloroform. Perspiration stains will be removed only by boiling. b Fruit stains should be soaked in milk or use oxalic acid. Checolate stains, soak in kerosene and wash in cold ter. Blood stains should be soaked when fresh in coid water. Put dry salt on fresh wine stains and warm milk on oid ones. Coffee stains should be treated with boiling water when fresh. Tops of old shoes, cut into shape and covered, make excellent iron hold- ers.

Attractive sets of plates, doilles, napiins and a tablecioth, all of paper. are soldfor 40 cents. All the articles are decorated with flowers in color cr with other designs. There are twelve doilies, twelve plates, twelve nap- kins and one tablecloth. These sets are especially useful for _picnickers |and they can aiso be used for lawn | parties and porch parties. BOIL THE MOLDS. The wooden button molds are very japt to discolor the material witn | which they are covered, if they are left on a tub dress when it is laund- ereC If the precaution is taken of ( boiling “the molds before covering they may be washed with impunity. TO MAKE SMOOTH GRAVIES. First, have the liquor to be thick- ened ready to boil, then take a spoon- ful of flour and with a little water work free from lump thin So that it will pour easily. a sturing spoon in one hand stir the bolling liquid vigorously, with the other hand pour in the batter. The secret of having it free from lumps Is to have the liquid hot enough to cook the batter at once, and to keep stir- ring it until it is_well cooked. = Never try to stir raw flour into hat liquer nor to make smooth gravies in luke- warm stock. TEST OF LINEN. A sure test of linen is to wet a por- Hon of piece and if moisture is quick- ly absorbed and show= through to other side you will never be mistaken about linen. This is a never fail test. CONCERNING WOMEN. School teachers in Italy receive less than $600 a year salary. Kansas is to have two women on the democratic state ticket at the next | election. The average salary paid to Phila- @elphia woman school teachers is $30 per month. Divorces are more difficult to obtain in England than in any other civilized country. A good share of the membership of the Phladelphia Fencers’ club is com- posed of women. TO CLEAN TILES. Often the tiles in a hearth become 20 stained’ that water will not clean them.

Boulanger, The people of France have never had a public man whom they have | more thoroughly idolized than they did Gen. Boulanger. From the period he was made war minister he was t | most popular man in the country. came to be accepted as their “man of destiny” and he retained this popu- larity for a score of years in spite of the jealousy he inspired among those who considered themselves entitied to equal consideration. He was able to !ruun this popularity in spite of the fact, as was afterwards shown, that he was concerned in various intrigues { for his own betterment with no proper consideration as to the welfare of the | nation that paid him such marked honors. Boulanger became the head of the French army in 1886. He was appoint- ed to the office of minister of war when the radicals won under M. Clem- enceau. His patron, however, was compelled, in a short time, to abandon him for the reason that he was be- | coming so inconveniently prominent and there were no regrets by the head of the French government when he re- | signed in May, 1887. The mob clam- {ored for their “brave general” but { M. Bouvier, in forming his new cab- { inet, declined to take him into his of- ficial family and he was given vom- mand of an army corps. { But a Boulanger “movement” had al- ready been started. The Bonapartists had attached themselves to him and even the comte de Paris encouraged i Bis followers to support him. His name was the theme of the popular song of the moment and the French | military bands everywhere were play- | ing the “Boulanger marches” that had been composed in his honer. The men- tion of his naime at the theatre or any public assemblages always called out an enthusiastic demonstration, for the general and his black horse had become the idol of the Parisian pop- ulace . All this honor seems to have turned his head, for he began showing insub- ordination, which eventually led to his being deprived of his command in 18838 for twice coming to Paris without leave, and finally on the recommenda- PLUMBING AND STEAM FITTING IRON GASTINGS FURNISHED PROMPTLY BY THE VAUGHN FOUNDRY CO.

His name became the rail ing point of those who were hostile to the parliamentary system, or to the republican government in its present form." Alarmed by his singular popularity and by his political intrigues, the gov- ernment instituted a prosecution of him before the high court of justice. On April 1, 1889, Gen. Boulanger, Hen- ri Rochefort and M. Dillon avoided arrest by a sudden departure in the night from Brussels, having fled from Paris on March 1 On April 4 the chamber of deputies voted to sanction the prosecution of the general for trea- son and six 4 sued warrants for his arrest in exile. On April 12 the preliminary trial began. The charges were treason and the embezzlement of 252,000 francs.

This was re- fused, whereat a public demonstration by the Boulanger party on Nov. 12 resulted in the government arresting 180 participants. Boulanger continued to live abroad during the remainder of his life. In April, 1890, the Boulangists were to- tally defeated In the municipal elec- tions and on May 18 the general pub- lished a letter deprecating any further agitation in favor of his views.
