Efforts are also being made for the concentration of the relief, which is being extended to Europe by _this country, into fewer channeis that there may be, less confusion and more effi- clent results. Such endeavors are being made in support of the most Jaudable human- itarian work. That our interest in ba- half of peace should lead to a general participation by the nation in a day of prayer for its attainment is but naturei, and it is even so that our pocketbooks as ‘well as our Thearts should be touched with a Christian sympathy and a desire to alleviate the great amount of suffering which the war is causing. While praying for peace it is well that our contributions should be in accord with our petitions, Solemnly and sincerely can we voice the nation’s wish for Europe, but equally S0 can we participate in ac- complishing what lies within human power to do.

It is interesting in view of the ex- isting conditions that sthe announce- ment is made by Austria that it will build schools for Italians within its borders. One of the great fears of Austria and 'Germapy in the present war has been the course which Italy would pursue, That it should declare for peutrality came as crushing news, and while efforts have been made by both sides to enlfst the support of that country in active combat, it has held aloof. Puyblic sentiment has by no means Deen kept under cover if the reports from Italy are unblased. Though the quarrel has been nome of Ttaly’s and it has done well to refrain from entering it, it is a question how long its pres- ent attitude can be maintained. Italy has not forgotten the loss of its northern provinces in years gone by any more than France, and while the declaration of Austria at this time concerning schools might be calcu- lated to influence that country, it is & question whether Italy can refrain from taking part in the downfall of militarism end take advantage of the opportunity to regain its lost terri- tory. It must at the same time so figure as to protect itself against pun- ishment in the futare for not support- ing the triple alliance agreement. As a supporter of the allles such protec- tion is assured. It remains to be de- cided whether such can be assured through the maintenance of neutrality and upon that rests the question as to whether Italy can be drawn into the struggle. EDITORIAL NOTES.

FIRE PREVENTION. Understanding that it requires as nuch agitation and as many good les- 1ons as anything else, the governor of New Yorlc has fixed the ninth of Oc- lober as fire prevention day through- it the state. It is in support of the hagnificent effort which has been un- lertaken throughout the country in lehalf of avolding the disastrous ef- kcts of fire and the attendant danger b Ufe that the influence of this ef- brt is added. Determined efforts are teing made for safety in places of langer, about machinery, in highways i mnd wherever human beings are em. lloyed about mechanical contrivances ind it 1s as important that serious ittention should be given to the pre- rention of fire. As the New York Tribune well savs No, Willlam, this idea of ‘“buy a bale” has nothing to do with the worthy scheme of uming cotten for ear protection. Bven this blast from the northern snow tells us that we are bound to get much worse before the millentum arrives. R l Thé man on the corner says: It is a waste of time trying to convince oneself that one’s troubles are appre- ciated by the other fellow. ‘Though the baseball season has not been s profitable one the European theaters of war cannot be accused of drawing away the crowds. Some people figure that a through ticket to business success has been secured when a horseshoe has been tacked up over the door. Germany would like the advantage of triking France through Switzer- 1and, but the lesson of Belgium has probably been learned by this time. Villa says Carranza must go. This of course throws no small amount of responsibility upon the shoulders of the first chief of the constitutionalists.

Annually hundreds of thodsands of dollars and many lives are fost in each large city of this state tirough fires wholly needless—that is, which were caused by ecriminal care- lessness or neglect of danger breeding conditions. Education against negli- gence and against carelessneks is need- ed. Official action and the making of taws cannot meet the situation until the public itself is aroused. Iire Pre- vention Day is/good press agent work Graduation day was at hand. The college girls were all astir, flitting here and there, for the long-anticipated hour had come. Lanterns hung from tree to tree. The campus was gay with streamers and garlands of flow- ers, and the happy girl graduates in cap and gown, were seen everywhere. Maude Foster was to be class his- torian. She was a bright girl with much talent. Her dark eyes were full of animation and fun. Her laugh was hearty and catching. She was so good natured that she was a general fa- vorite, in the country, but her four years of college life, added to her natural re- finement, had mlade her a polished young lady, with nothing remaining of the crude country girl who had en- tered the school. The girls were talking in groupe of their parents and friends who were Her' home was_far away THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society Suwalki—A town of Russian Poland, the capital of the government of the same name, 65 miles by rail north- ‘west of Grodno and 13 miles from the East Prussian border. Its population is approximately 30,000. It has a trade in_ timber, grain, woolen cloth and other manufactured goods. Bee-keep- ing is one of the indusiries of the district. Argonne—A Tockq, forest-clad pla- tasu, extending along the borders of Lorraine, Germany, and Champagne, France, It has a length of about 63 miles, an average breadth of 19 miles, and an average height of 1,150 feet. There are few good roads in’this dis- trict, and if is hard territory through which to carry on mjlitary operations of large proportions. It lies between the valley of the Aisne on the west and the valley of the Meuse on the east, and is one of the natural bul- warks between.Germany and France. There are numerpus forests clothing both the east and the west slopes of the platean, the chief of them being that of Argonne, extending for 25 miles between the Aire and the Aisne. Amiens-Laon-Reims—The country between Amiens and Reims, within earshot of the greater portion of the fighting armies in France today, is Dopulous and contains many of the most prosperous of the medium-sized towns in France. Ten miles east of Amiens 15 Villers-Bretonneau, an in- dustrial town with about 6,000 inhab- itants, which was the scene of one of the main engagements in the battle of Amiens, in which the French northern army was routed by the Germans in 1870, The route now takes one through the fertile district of Santerre. Ham, with a population of approximately 3,500, stands in a marsh district 36 miles from Amiens. Its castle, now used as a barrack, has frequently been used as a state prison, and has held many of the most noted people of France. The list of those incarcerated there includes Joan of Arc, Louis of Bourbon, and_ Louis Napoleon. The latter, after having been a prisoner for six years, escaped in the disguise of a workman. La TFere, 16 miles further on, captured by the Germans in 1870, has one of the oldest schools of artillery in the world. It _was founded in 1719. Laon, 15 miles" be- yond La Fere, situated 'on an isolated ridge some 330 feet above the sur- rounding plain, forms with La Fere and Reims a trlangle of imporant fortresses. Napoleon tried in vain to dislodge Blucher from the town in 1814. Between Laon and Reims the Alsne and the Suippe are crossed. Paris-Soissons- Reims-Charleville — The route from Paris .to Charleville, by way of Soissons and Reims, takes one through a territory rich in his- torical and present-day interest. Six miles out from Paris is found Le Bourget, where the Germans repulsed the French in the sanguinary strus- gles of 1870. Twenty miles further on, in the park of the chateau of Erme- nonville, is the original tomb of Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose remains were removed to the pantheon at Parls in 1794. Crepy-en-Valois, the _ancient Zapital of a district which belonged fro mthe I4th century to a younger branch of the roval family of France, and with a present day population of about 7,000, lies 16 miles to the north. Villers-Cotterets, with about 6,000 in- habitants, 8'1-2' miles away, was the birthplace of Alexandre Dumas the Elder. A little further on is Long- pont, which has a ruined abby dat- ing from the 13th century. Sixty-five miles from Paris, Solssons, an anclent town formerly fortified, with a popu- lation of about 15,000, is reached. Here is the Abbaye Notre-Dame, now used as a barrack, founded originally in 660. In 858 it contained no fewer than 216 nuns, who possessed a val- uable collection of sacred relics, in- cluding & shoe and a girdle of the Ma- donna. The route from Soissons to Reims takes one up the valley of the Aisne and its tributary, the Veles. Reims is one of the most interesting cities of France. Christianity was preached here in the fourth century. About 20 miles out of Reims, half-way o Charleville, is Rethel, an industrial town, with about 7,500 inhabitants, sit- uated on a hill to the right of the Aisne. Three miles further on is Amagne, a rallway junction with a large sugar factory as its principal industry. A few miles on, the road enters ‘the wooded and mountalnous district of the Ardennes, and the scen- ery_increases in beauty. To the right is” Boulzicourt, with its large powder factory, and at Mohon, another vil- lage, are large workshops. Two miles further on is Charleville, an uninter- esting town, with about 20,000 inhab- itants and nail-making, type-founding HER MOTHER coming to had already arrived. “Is your mother coming, Maude?” asked Sally Whits Maude's cheeks burned scarlet as sho stammered: “No, it's too far away.” “My mother's coming and she lives in Albany, much farther away than your home,” cried Alice Baker, “I's a shame your mother can't como, Maude, dear” = sympathized Mamie Stone. “I shouldn’t want to graduate if my mother coudn't be here to see me. My father's coming, too. Maude turned away. She didn't want the girls to ses her burning cheeks or to ask her more questions. She would have been glad to have her mother present to see her triumph if she could have come without being seen, but the truth was, she Was ashamed of her little old-fashioned, country mother. In her last letter she bad written— an momsie dear, but T know it's too far for you to travel, and it's my busy time, too, so Ill have fo give up having you, and I shan't expect you. T'll be home soon, you know, and tell and hardware goods factories. you all about it* She had tried to word it o @s not to hurt, yet make her mother feel it was impossible for her to come. She could not have her there for all the girls to see—the most of them came from city homes and were stylish and particular. Her mother would wear her old green silk, 10 vears old, she knew, with the e sleeves, and skirt six yards wide, and her old bonnet, no doubt, for her mother never followed the fashions. Yet there was a lump in her throat. She felt guilty, and not at all happy, on her graduation day. Automobilés and carriages were be- ginning to arrive, and crowds were coming from the station. Maude min- gled with the rest of the girls, trying to forget. Suddenly a merry voice at her elbow called out, choking with laughter: “Girls, do look! Who is that little old lady standing there by the gate in a perfect maze? If ghe doesn’t Jook as if she came out of the ark!” The girls_turned and joined in the laugh, Maude looked with the rest, and felt a spasm run through her frame, and cold shivers down her back. Her mother—here! Why had she come? And in that faded green silk, too. She was a laughing stock, just as she knew it would be! But what was to be done? She must manage to get her mother out of the way, somewhere befors they found out. Stealing_Gown the path she touched her mother's arm and drew_her away, when no one was looking. She led to a recess, where they would be ud- observed. Her mother—so sweet and gentlel—how could she reproach her for coming to see herself, her only child, graduate. “T ‘thought T'd give you a.surprise, dear,” came the gentle tones. “It was a long journey and I'm tired, but I knew yow'd be glad and proud of Your mother to travel so far alone—and I wanted to see you—so much. It's only once in a lifetime, you know.’ 2 A sudden resolve came into Maude's heart with the love and nobility of her young being. What matter for the jaughter of her mates—she could not hurt her mother!, Throwing ber arms about her mothér’s neck she cried: ‘Momsie, dear, you're @ brave dar- ling! I'm glad you're here!” And in her heart she felt the words. 'Comf: and T'll introduce you to the girls, she added. \ “Do 1 look—all right?” faltered the timid woman. “I wore my best—but— they’re all dressed up 80." 3 “Yes, momsie, you're all right’ came the cheerful answer. “You did the best you could. It's mo matter what the others wear.” Bravely she led her mother to the group she had lett. “I want you to know my mother, girls,” she announced. “She's here, after all. She came all the way alone to give e a surprise, to hear me read my phper and to see the fun.” Sweetly and gently the old lady talkea with those she met. With sim- ple grace she adapted herself to the new surroundings. Everyone forgot her dress, looking into her refined, happy face, and listening to her in- telligent volee. 3 “I-think mother’s just lovely! ally White to Maude, an gxclaimed hour later. “So do II” cried the others. “I should think youwd be real proud of 50 glad you came, momsie dar- ling!” said Maude, - after it was all over and they were on the way home. But down deep in her heart was a feeting of remorse and shame. She would never, never, never feel ashamed of her mother again—and she was so thankful her mother did mot know.— Boston Record, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR . Ought to Get Together. Mr. Editor: We have to elect locaily a judge of probate, state senator and two representatives, if we are to live up to the former standard of our party. Can this be done this year? I say !l can be most certainly accemplished if the republicans can be united. If they do not bury their differences and get together it is very certain we cannot at the best hope to elect more than one of these candidates. Do we care any- thing for the success of republican principles? Are we satisfled wita democratic rule? I most heartily agree with the views expressed in Stalwart's letter in The Bulletin a few days since. The difference between the republi- cans and progressives, which now s really only imagimary, can be adjust- ed. Who shall accomplish this? The town committee, of course.
