It s time that such action was taken and these schemes, which have to. & large extent sprung up since the slot machines were tabaoed. put out of existence. The fact ig it would have been much bet- ter and easier had such a stand been taken at the time they'made their ap- pearance instead of waiting until all kinds of dusiness places have been forced to adopt them in order to com- pete for trade, but it should mot be a very dificult problem even at the present time If it is made certain that the order to discard them is accom- panjed by the determination to see that-it s enforced. There can be no question but what such - devices are detrimental to the a community. Though simple, inexpensive and harmless pos- sibly in themselves they lend great encouragement to the habit of gamb- ling and differ only in the character of the results from other devices and ma- chines which Have long been recogniz- ed as against the law. They are schemes which have for their sole purpose the securing of larger sums for the articles disposed of than could otherwise be obtained. The alluring attraction of big prizes for small amounts is only another form of the old-time swindle, and the everlasting struggle to separate a person from his money. It is well that their end bas been demanded. TAX MUST BE MET The federal tax which is common- Iy veferred to as the war tax, despite the fuct that it is levied upon a coun- try which is and has long been enjoy~ ing the blessings of peace, is in full operation. Those who have not com- plied with the federal license require- ments, which under the present pro- visions are increased in a number of instances must pay for thelr negli- sence, for Uncle Sam has a way of holding his taxpayars to the letter of the law end to the penalties. Billiard and pool rooms, bowling zlleys, mo- tion picture houses, telephone and telegraph messages and certaln forms of commercial paper are included un- der the new law and the proprietors or-users of these amusement or busi- ness places and facilities must meet the demands, through the payment of licenses or the purchase and use of the necessary stamps. It makes little difference as to what one may think of the necessity of imposing such a tax, thesonly thing to do is to pay it and by doing so with the least friction and trouble, the ecasier it will be made for everybody: ‘There is only cne thing to do and that is to get acquainted with and meet the requirements, complicated and un- interesting 2s they are. It will mean a. nuisance in a great many instances but. whether that nuisance is magnified or minimized depends entirely upon the attitude which is manifested by the public. For instance 4t is much more profitable to meet the additional cent to e collected upon telephome and telegraph messages Which cost over fifteen cents than It is to waste the time haggling over the matter and wasting time which is far more valu- able. As long as it must be done it might as well be one cheerfully, MINE CASUALTIES When 1t is disclosed by the sta- tisties kept of mine casualties that there were 3,651 men killed in Ameri~ Community as well as the individual efforts have met with like results and all support, financial and otherwise, is bound to prove a most valuable in- ‘vestment for the future. Good results are shown by the Boys' Corn clubs in Mansfleld and Lebanon. At Col- chester the organization of boys which was formed for the purpose of raising farm produce made an en- couraging report and now comes a stmilar statement from the farm which was conducted in the interests of the boys of Bast Lyme. ‘There was bor- rowed from the town to promote the venture $300 and there hes been paid back to the town $316.10, In connmection with such an under- taking a favorable financial showing. is highly desirable but sight must not be lost of the vast amount of mood sound agricultural instruction which 1s being secured at the same time by the participants. It is from that that the greatest results are to be expected 1t is through, that that the right kind of preparation is being made for the years to come and Wwith such an ex- cellent foundation belng laid there is every reason t# expect that the hopes will be realized. DIFFERENCE IN MEN There is a vast difference In the manner of granting pardons in the state of South Carolina and in the state of New York, but there is also as great a difference in the character "of men with whom much of the par- doning power rests in the two states. For Thankssiving Governor Blease of South Carolina, Who has manifested an inclination to empty the prisons of that state, gave freedom to a large number of convicts. On Christmas ho proposes to repeat until thers will be few or mone remaining within the walls of the state institution at the ovening of the new year whem he turns over the control of the state to another. Such has been his policy throughout his administration and his determination to carry it on just as long as his quthority lasts is typical of the man, even though it was ome of the things which led to hil defeat. For another month Goversior Glynn will possess the power to pardon the same as at any other time since he bas been governor. That he does not intend to take any undue advantage of the approach of the end of his term is disclosed by his statement that he will not pardon certain prominent con- victs who have been sent to prison from the eounty where his successor has been and is at present district at- torney, without the recommendation of Mr. Whitman. Such discloses the difference in the men at the head of state governments and one of the important reasons why. state government is one thing in South Carclina and, another thing in New York. It makes a difference whether personal or state interests are con- sidered. EDITORIAL NOTES The next stop on the holiday list is Christmas. Get busy with your shop- ping.

The passing of November and the entrance of December was as lamblike as a delightful September week-end. Even after the G are en- veloped and the flap pre down, the mext thing will be to make it stick. Earthquakes are reported to have transformed Mediterranean islands. Perhaps that is what Mexico needs? Those in the rubber business are re- ported extremely busy, but that is a normal condition for many thus en- gaged. Strange to say, the suggestion that “Thank God for Wilson” be placed on the war tax stamps failed to arouse enthusiasm. ‘With Von Moltke a prisoner in his own country he can hardly be blamed for any reverses which the German army suffers, In view of the.trouble holding the presidency of Mexico, there is just the opposite ambition concerning that office from what might be expected.

Mr. Editor: Christmas approaches, and, to quote the president’s Thanks- giving proclamation, ‘it has been vouchsafed to us to remain at peace with honor.” The duty and the priv- ilege remain of averting starvation amongst the Belgian refugees this winter and for this special purpose the Doilar Christmas fund has been or- ganized. It is estimated to date that all the help subscribed in America —and it has been very liberal—including the aid of the wealthy -Rockefeller foundation— does not average more than o few cents for. each destitute Belgian— enaugh to buy f0od for a few days! The Dollar Christmas fund has one ambition—to see that every man, Woman and child this Christmas shall have food, clothing, sheiter. This great achievement is happily still possible, and to this end we are working with the Christmas fund of London, which collected for the eame purpose nearly $400,000. The co-operation of the two organizations has many de- cided advantages. It provides o safe- Zuard against waste from overlapping. It enables our fund to enjoy tho guid- ance of members of the Belgian gov- ernment as regards the distribution of relief. All our workers are voluntary and_every cent subscribed, after de- ducting the cost of stamps and sta- tionery, goes direct to the Belgians. Even if you have given to every other fund, We beg you in the name of humanity to assist the Christmas fund for which I appeal as treasurer. Help to send a Christmas gift worthy of America-—a tribute of sympathy from one people to another whose needs and sorTows are fmmeasurable. 1 you realize that.millions are lit- erally faced with starvation, that chil dren are still crying for food, shelter- less women dragging their weary way to help, that aged men are hom 2nd shiverjng—and this despite all that is heing done—you will give before Christmas, and give liberally. England has received 300,000 of the refugees, but there are unnumbered thousands still wandering in France and Holland, besides those in stricken Belgium. A fresh inspiration- to _our own peaceful Christmas in America will be lent if we relieve now the sufferings of innocent little children, unoffending women and aged men, and you may rest assured that no man's Christmas day will be the less happy because in ‘some cases the gzift may entail some measure of personal eacrifice. Let us remember at this crisis that “to_pitv_distress is but human; to RELIEVE it is Godlike. All contributions entrusted to me as treasurer will be promptly and thank- fully acknowledged. Send along your doliar—more if you can. - Yours very_truly, HENRY CLBWS, Dollar Christmas Fund for 25 Belgians, Broad St., New you want? 1914, ! SPECIAL NUMBERS.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society The Department of the Meuse, in northeastern France, is one of the most strongly fortified regions in the world. The greatest length of this department from north to south is approximately 80 miles, and its greatest width is approximately 40 miles, yet within that circumscribe area, with its 2,400 square miles of territory, are the great fortress of Verdun, the fortified po- sitions of St, Mihjel and Gironville, and the towns of Montmedy, Stenay, Mont- faucon,” Spincourt, Troyon and Com mercy, each eloquent with recent mili- tary history. The Meuse river flows through the department from its southeast corner to its northwest border, crossing the latter only about ten miles from the historic battlefield of Sedan, Verdun, Bt, AMihiel and Gironville defend its 2astern banks and the great fortifica- tions of Toul form an outpost of i valley. About ore-half of the total area of the department is embraced in the valley of the Mense, which is enclosed on the west by the forests of Argonne, and on the east by the hills known as the Cote de Meuse. Still further to the east lies the forests of the Woevre district. .One-fourth of the entire department is covered with fo ests, and they were, prior to the pres- eht war, those finely kept forests of France that resemble wooded parks in_our owh country. The three hundred thousand people who live in the department of the Meuse in normal times are devoted mainly to . agriculture and manufac- turing. Their crops correspond gen- erally to those of the Mohawk valley of New York, the Susquehanna valley of Pennsylvania, and the Shenandoah valley of Virginta. Sugar beets are an_important addition to the list of things produced from the soil. There are many industrial estab- lishments in the department, such as textile mills, lumber mills, paper mills, carriage works and distilleries. Ligny en-Barrios is famous for its output of sclentific instruments. There are also important iron, steel and wire plants in the department, and its files, hard- ware and edged tools are famo Important waterways cross the de- partment, one of them connecting the Marne in France with the Rhine in Germany, and the other running up and down the Meuse valley. Their aggregate length approximates 145 miles, or nearly three times the length of the Panama canal. In times of peace these canals are great thorough- fares of cheaply-transferred _com- merce. There are numerous railways, among them the main line from Paris to Strassburg, passing through the southern part of the department, and the line from Paris to Metz, passing through the middle section. Another imporriant line is the one which fol- lows the Meuse vall The Department of Ardennes, in northeastern France, with more of a “panhandle” than either Texas or West Virginia can boast of, is one of the smaller and yet one of the most his- toric of all of the departments of France, and one which has figured prominently in the present war in Europe. In fact, Ardennes boasts of two pan- handles instead of one. The main one shoots northward into Belglum for a distance of about 12 miles, and has an average width of about seven miles. The other thrusts itself éastward be- tween the Belgian border and the De- partment of the Meuse for some 12 miles, and has a width of some eight or_nine miles. The department slopes generally to- ward the Alsne, which flows through its southeast-central section, although the Meuse flows through its north- east section and thence northward through the Belgian panhandle. Al- though the alrline distance between the point where the Meuse comes into Ardennes is less than 50 miles, the waterway distance is 111 miles. For a_large part, the department is occupied‘by the remains of the French section of the great forest of the Ar- dennes, through which Julius Caesar campaigned, and which separated the Celts and the Teutons of early Euro- pean history. , The forests have large- ly disappeared with the encroachments of civilization, but the sharply marked linguistic boundary between the Flem- ish-speaking meople of Flanders and the French-speaking people of south- ern Belgium still tells of the anclent barrier to fntercourse between the {two peoples. { The Department of Ardennes has an |aren of only 2,028 square miles, but |1t possesses a population of mearly 1225,000 people. Tn parts of it there are stock farms that remind one of blue grass rogion of, Kentucky.

The Tame of Nathan Hale, presents at once to our minds the ideal hero- To meet execution as a spy is not an especially glorious death, yet it re- quires great courage and fortitude to serve in such a capacity, and Nathan Hale deserves well of his country for the -lovajty he displayed. When Washington and his _half- starved army of patriots lay before the city of New York, many difficult questions arose, and upon_thelr solu- tion depended its fate. The General realized it was necessary to send a spy to the British lines to learn their intention. He requested Col. Knowlton to call his officers together to ask for a volunteer. When the plan was stated there was silence and not one express- ed a willingness to undertake Lhe ar- duous task. Just then Nathan Hale entered, and in a cheerful, determined Yoice said: “I will go.” When his friends tried to dissuade him he teplied: “I am ful- 1y sensible of the consequences of dis- covery and capture in such a situa- tion.” Hale called upon Washington, re- ceived his instruction, and started on the dangerous expedition. He clothed himself in the garb of a schoolmaster. and, carrying with him his college di- ploma Hale walked about 40 miles, and crossed from Harlem Hights to Long Island. and from there he finally reached New York. Thus far he was successful. He had been for nearly two weeks within the enemy’s lines: ~he made gesigns of all the fortifications of How®, hie formed an estimate of the strength and numbers of the.enemy, and he was now about to return. It was not to be wondered at that he grew a little reckless and over- confident as he sat in the tavern of ‘Widow Chichester, the resort of of- ‘ficers and Tories of the town. While there he understood from the’ proprie- inety-eight years ago today the first savings bank in the United States to open its doors for business began taking deposits in Philadel- phia_under the name of the Phil- adelphia _Savings Fund Society. Eleven days later the Massa- chusetts legislature = granted a charter to the Provident Savings Institution of Boston and thus es- tablished the world’ first saving banic to be legally chartered and * regulated by law. The germ of the savings bank idea had been in ex- istence for half a century, it having come to life, as is generally re- corded, in Hamburg, Germany. After experimentations by fndividu als in Scotland and Egland un- hampered by legislative enactments the idea was transplanted to Phil- adelphia through the medium of a newspaper. ‘The European = poor for whom the savings bank originally created as a institution, greeted the idea with suspicion, seeing no advantage in it over the loose brick in the fire- place or the thatch of the roof which had been the universal bank for many dges However, Condy Raguet of Philadelphia was impressed by an account an English journal of a savings bank in operation in England. gMeeting Richard Peters, Jr., on it Street on November 20th broached @ plan for a similar in- stitution. RACII:V‘I plan was laid before a group prominent Phil- adelphians and without delay the Unifed States’ firet was'in operation. The and — NOW Today there are 1,978 savings banks in the United States in which 10,766,986 thrifty. Americans have deposited $4,727,403,050, according to a recent government report.- 1t is a sum greater than any other country in the world has on de- posit, and it exceeds the combined total that the French, the Aus- trianstalians, Japanese and Brit- ish people have on deposit in their communal, private, postal, corpor- ate and trugtee savings banks. Just how great the Americans’ sav- ings account is, is illustrated by the fact that, according to an estimate made by a French economist in the University of Paris, Prof. Charles Richet, the sum iz sufficient to pay for the food, tbe equipment,” the trapsportation and ammunition for the ng Buropean armies for the' mekt thres months._ \ cents of 1820 to $5.00 ‘of 1814 The average deposit accon is now $439.07.

Hale was in such a position that es- cape was ble. He was taken immediately on board the guardship Halifax, and was carried at once to the headquarters of Gen. Howe. . Hale was examined and Howe was thunderstruck. when the memoranda which the volunteer carried in his shoes were spread before him, and with the extent and accuracy ot the prisoner's work.

No! Hale frankly and at once ac- knowledzed his mission. - He confessed himeelf a< an American officer and a spy. It he had one regret, he said, it was that he was unable to further serve his country. It took the judge but a short time to come to a decision. Howe picked up a plece of paper which bore the jnitials “G. R” (George Rex) and thereupon wrote that William Cun- ningham, provost marshal of the Royal army, was directed. to recelve the cus- tody of Nathan Hale, a captain in the rebel army, that day Convicted as.af| epy, and further to see that he is hung the’ following morning, Sept. 22, 1776, at_daybreak. Hale heard 'the orders read u flinchingly. He gave not even a com- plaining look. and from the presence of his judge he was borne by & strong guard. The execution was carried out the following morning as ordered. When at last he stood on-the ladder waiting for the rope to be thrown over the limb of a tree, Cunningham asked him if he had anything to say. Hale's concise reply to that command has made him immortal. The exact words, as we know them, are: “I only regret that I have but one life to give for my count A few hours later a British officer rode into the American camp_under a flag of truce and informed Hamild) ton, then a captain of artillery, that Capt.
