There can be no question of Rus- sia’s desire to get control of Constan- tinople and the Dardanelles. That has long been its ambition and it has been an ambition which many of the pow- ers have aided Turkey in thwarting. Whenever the Dardanelles are closed, as at the present time, it means the shutting off of the big commerce of Russia except by the White sea out- let, which is closed during the winter season. What it wants is an outlet whereby its products can go forth to the world during the entire year. Its grain is now sought by the countries engaged in the war and the opening up of the Dardanelles and the Bos- phorus will remove the blockade. That the coptrol of the gateway to the Black sea is about to change is indicated by the success which has at- tended the efforts of the allied fleet in the battering down of the Turkish for- tifications. - That Great Britain is in sympathy with the ambition of Russia to secure this outlet has been indi- cated by the declaration of Sir Edward Grey. Not only are the allies in accord with the wishes of Russia, but they are doing their utmost through their fleets to carry them out. It means the driving of the Turks out of Europe and some more changing of boundary lines in that vielnity, which with the final control of Constantinople and the Dar- danelles may remain for determina- tion when peace is signed, but it will be a readjustment which will be to the advantage of Russia from which the other allies will have no cause to fear. R 2 2 AGAINST MERCHANT MARINE. ‘With the demand for the increase of the merchant marine of this country ond thedesire that American shipping should display better competition with foreign shipowners, it is an interesting situation which is presented by the passage of the seamen’s bill by con- gress. This measure has had the earn- est and enthusiastic support of Sen- ator La TFollette and is calculated to |furnish greater protection for crews ,and passengers. That proper measures for safety should be provided gets general recognition, but there are bur- dens in the way of expense imposed through the bill which are not going to make shipping under the American flag any more attractive. The small amount of American ship- ping today is due to the fact that there are far greater advantages to be ob- tained through registry under a for- eilgn flag than under the stars and stripes and when it comes to the build- ing up of a merchant marine those very same costs of operations which differ so greatly are factors which shipowners never fail to overlook. ‘When the government endeavors to build up & merchant marine by im- .posing obligations which make it an impossibility, it looks like a move nof only in the wrong direction, but akainst its own interests. If there were only American ships to consider the legislation would raise no barrier, but when it is impossible to meet foreign competition under existing conditions, the placing of greater and more costly burdens on the underdog isn’t likely to increase its possibilities or encourage capital for its promotion. DIVORCE PETITIONS. It is quite a different attitude that a judge of a Pennsylvania court takes in comparison with the action of ‘the Nevada legislature, when he endeavors to arouse some at least in that com- monwealth to a realization of the evil in the laxity surrounding divorce and the interpretation of divorce laws. Judge Patterson of Pennsylvania brought to attention the difference be- tween desertion, as a ground for a divorce, and mutual consent, in refus- ing to grant a petition 0of the latter kind before him. He gave some good sound advice upon the matter of grant. ing divorces when he said: “The mar- L-hg boud should not be dissoluble at ths will of the parties by either mu- taal consent.or renuncilation or denial of $t. The mere whims and caprices of married men and married women, who happen to be dissatisfied with 1.conditions, should not be permitted to strike at the foundations of society. The court should never sever the mar- riage contract unless for good and law- ful cause.” It would be well if there were more indges who looked up divorce and in- terpreted the law concerning it in a similar manner. The laws of many states are lenient enough without con- tributing to the fast increasing divorce rate. Easy laws, easy divorces and the grinding out of divorces like clock- work as occurs in some of the big cities, and not a few of the small ones, not only disclose, but encourage an evil which should be on the decrease in- stead of the increase. Judge Patter- son’s stand should not only be a guide for the judges of that commonwealth, but of all other states. LORD BRYCE’S STATEMENT. Former Ambassador James Bryce of England, who has given evidence on previous occasions of the close and accurate study waich he has made of America and Americans, presents in his recent utterance, with his usual analytical power, the attitude of the people of the country and the govern- ment to the war now raging in Eu- rope. As if he was an American he applies criticism to those in Great Bri- taln who maintain that this country should have given moral support to the triple entente and at the same time he effectively raplies to those who have felt that this government should have passed legislation favorable to Germany and its aji‘es. That this country has been criti- cised by enthusiasts on both sides of the war can be readily believed. Such can be expected when a country is friendly to both sides and is doing its utmost to maintain strict neutrality. Naturally it is difficult for many to see the justice is not Joining against the other side. The idea of right and wrong is so sharply drawn that it is impossible to see any middle ground, or, in fact, any reason for remaining neutral. Such, however, is not taken by Lord Bryce, and he points out with clearness that this country has fol- loweq its usual course in keeping out of European entanglements and that it has followed its legitimate, and from its record in the past, the to be expected course. It is probable that such an upholding of this government by Lord Bryce will not alter German opinion very greatly, but it should have 2 proper effect upon-.the English mind, for he knows what he talking about. THE DACIA'S SEIZURE. Both the expected and the unexpect- ed have happened in the circumstances surrounding the seizure of the Dacia. It was promised before the vessel left this country that it would not be per- mitted to reach its destination, but it was anticipated that it would be held up by a vessel of Great Britain. That it was stopped by a French cruiser and taken to a French port means that it is the allies which have refused to accept the transfer of the ship from German ownership as bona fide until proven and that such must'come be- fore a French instead of a British prize court, The effect of this unexpected move remains to be seen. This country will have the same opportunity for making and defending its protest against the seizure. It will be accorded fair treat- ment before the French prize court the same as might be expected from a British _court, but from the attitude which France has taken in the past relative to the transfer of vessels own- ed by belligerents following the open- ing of war, a stronger opposition to such a course as has been taken in the Dacia case is made possible. France has always maintained that such a transfer of flags should not be recog- nized after the breaking out of war. It has been unwilling to concede any advantage to the belligerent. that wouid be thus benefited regardless of the validity of the transfer. Whether this stand will e maintained relative to the Dacia remains to be determined. It shows the united opposition of the allies, however, to the practice and places the matter before the French court as if by arrangement. e SR EDITORIAL NOTES, Out in Chicago it is no longer a crime to call 2 woman a democrat, The one decisive battle that the whole world is waiting for over in Europe is the victory of peace. e e B Hanging up the snow shovel may be a little premature, but it wouldn't be any worse than never exercising it. e e e SR Some of the congressmen have been in Washington so long they are likely to be strangers in their own home town. —_— It might be better if Przasnysz was anglicized, but ease in pronunciation of such cities affords little aid in thetr capture. o o The man an the corner says: There are those who think that vivacity is a| loose tongue that has no cornection with the mind. _— There will probably be a flood of applicants to join the censor bureau in that reserve army which Colonel Roosevelt waxes so enthusiastic over. e It is apparently easier to tell what is going to happen to the map of Eu- rope if this or that side wins, than it is to fix the date for it to take place. i el g ey It seems quite apparent that the present J.

With this and a thousand other signs all that is need- ed now is the first straw hat. From the way in whith France stands back of the determination to blockade Germany there 4s no in- clination on the part of that country to seek peace with Germany alone. Dr. Wiley declares that every meal should take an hour, and of course he recognizes that everybody, espe- cially the unemployed, has the time to spend if not the necessary money. Wisconsin has jumped to the front with new legislation again in the es- tablishment of a training school for servants, but it may yet have to do something to keep the housewives up to the standarad. It is apparent to those who are run- ning the war that they must prepare for some strong competition from the baseball magnates, which leads to the bellef that that is why Kitchener said war wouldn’t start until spring.

Your powers that respect are unique.” “My latest blunder is the worst of all. In the newspaper we saw an ad- vertisement of a maild who wanted to go out of town and we answered it at once. I had quite a little corre- spondence with the woman and she finally agreed to come to us.” “Lucky people!” “So we thought. She said she was middle aged and settled, so we were in hopes that we could keep her for ever so long. We live some distance from a trolley line and the streets have no names in evidence and the directions are complicated. So I vol- unteered I'd meet her at the postoffice. Everybody knows where the post- office is.” “You began by being good to her, certainly.” “It was worth it. She’s been with us for a whole month now. Well, wken I reached the postoffice I was a little late and there was a woman in black waiting there. Molly, the maid, said that she would wear black. So I spoke up and asked the stranger whether she was Molly. The person smiled and said no, and told me she was walting for a friend. When she inquired whether I was waiting for a friend too, I had to say that I was. You see, I couldn't ex- plain that I was waiting for a maid in the circumstances, could I?” “Not very well,” agreed the young woman in blue. “Do go on.” “I beccme emrbarrassed and con- fused easily,” sa2id the girl in brown, “so as socn =2s I could I went out- side to wait, for fear I'd say some- thing foolish. The result was that I met Mrs, Davidson, one of the nicest wcmen in the town. She went in and brought out the other woman and introduced us. The woman whom I had taken for Molly was the one that 1 most wanted to know—the one that would be most important to me. In this crisis my only thought was that Molly was coming on a trolley car at any moment and I'd be disgraced by a portyy woman with a <dozen hand- boxes whom I should have to pass off as my friend from the city. “I found that I was getting into such a mess that I pleaded things to do at home and hurried away.” “They must have thought crazy!” “Very you likely. At any rate, I went home as fast as I could, thinking T'd go back in twenty minutes and find Molly waiting for me in the post- office and that no one would be the wiser. It was a perfectly scorching day and there isn’'t a speck of shade all along the street from the post- office. You know the way it is in suburbs.” “Was she waiting for you when you returned to the postoffice?” “I remained home about a quarter of an hour and then I went back” the girl in brown went on. “The two women had gone, of course, and there wasn't a trace of our maid anywhere. I waited until two trolley cars had come in and then gave it up. All the way home I reproached myself se- verely for losing Molly, who of course had gone right back to town dis- gusted because she had not been met. 1 did not know what on earth I could say to mother, who had counted so much on Molly’s coming. You have my sympathy.” ‘I was ready to cry when I rang the doorbell at home, but I didn't. Melly, the new maid, opened the door for me, in cap and apron.” “How on earth did she get there?’ ‘That's what I asked her,” said the girl in brown rurefully. “She said it was easy enough. All she did was to ask two ladies at the postoffice where sho could find_our house. She told them she was Molly, our new mald.” —Chicago News. Stories of Shell Fragments Sell High. Fragments of shell thrown by the Germans upon West fHartlepool dur- ing the December naval raid are now fetching such a high price as souven- irs that a bricklayer and a real es- tate agent recently went to law over a portion of a shell. The Dplece weighed 47 pounds, and retailed at $2.50 a pound, so the claimants stated. The relic was found in a gutter by a bdricklayer named Spoors. Being its discoverer, Spvoors claimed the shell as his, -Gibbon, the estate agent, heard of this and proceeded to prove that the shell struck a house balong- ing to a client, whom he held to be the rightful owner. As the client re- nounced the _title, Gibbon claimed ownership and proceeded to take the piece from Spoors on the ground that he intended to send it as a present to Lord Furness. Before giving judgment to Gibbon, Judge Bonsey of the county court said he would not give a half-penny for the shell and thought ‘that any one who would pay 20 pounds sterl- ing for it a fool. If the Germans paid a few more visits to Hartlepool, the judge thought the market price of shells would drop so low that people would not even bother to pick up the fragments, Ready for Spies in No-Man's-Land. ‘An officer of the R. F. A, writes: “War, as a source of excitement, is disappointing; as an experience of hardships and “fed-up-ness” it quite fulfils expectations. We have made arduous marches along shell-torn colbled roads, always in the rain and usually in the darkness; darkness, but for the star-shell illuminations of the fighting line. And we have lived in strange billets, now in the cow's byre, and again in the witches' kitch- en. The spy has hovered ever around us, and we have sought for him with loaded revolver, and the order to shoot at sight; but we have never shot, though we have often exam- ined. “We are living in the no-man’s land between the two armles; a land of deserted, ruined homesteads, and flelds filled with Jack Johnson shells; a land where death hangs silent in the air—awful—it is like a plague. When I am forward in my observa- tlon station I look over a turnip field, and about 500 yards beyond I see two black streaks in the snow—our ad- vance trench and theirs—and about 50 yards between. Not a movement is to be seen, yet I know that if I stood up or walked out of my ditch Just 100 yards beyond the hedge, I would never come back, Now and then a sniper speaks. “My telephonist and I tried to dig a little comfort the other day. We had no sooner stood up than there were two cracks, with a whistle in the tree above us and a zip in th dirt beside us. We sat down an didn’t move again till dust. One sits out there with the battery at the other end of the wire, and when shells burst on our infantry, speaks the word which means shells burst on theirs. We don't fire very much, but we study our maps a lot and dig drains a good deal and Jack Johnson comes screaming and banging in search of us, and is quenched in the wastes of mud. “When one is washing in muddy water in a horse’s feed-bag, it is sweet to think of the marble basins, clear warm’ water, dry towels, and scented soap of old Scotland; to think that there is a land where people bathe, and where barbers smooth the chin and perfume the hair for a few cop- pers.” 2 ety Getting Water a Race with Daylight A non-commissioned officer of a London Territorial Regiment writes: “The new line of trenches which the battalion occupies is-in fair con- dition, considering the wet weather. At very frequent intervals pumps have to be worked to keep the water down. A considerable part of our time is occupied in boarding the sides of the trench to prevent landslides, of which there have been some re- cently. After dark on Monday I went out with a party to draw rations, which the transport wagon brings to a farm about a thousand yards in the Tear; we also had to get water, which I understood could be drawn from a pump amid the ruins of a farmhouse just behind the trenches on our right. Travel in Central Europe. Travel in_Central Europe has be- come so difficult that a traveler who reaches his destination without being thrown into Jjail en route is fortunate. The possession of a through ticket and a passport with every conceivable sort of consular and diplomatic vise on it does not prevent a traveler in Hungary from being taken off the train and arrested if he has failed to procure from the commandant’s of- fice of the point of departure a permit to travel at all. It is often necessary to break the journey to get a pass good in the military zone one has en- tered, and in such a’'case the traveler may find there is no other train for two or three days, which is a commen occurrence when troops have to be transferred from one theatre of opera- tions to another. During a_ whole week in the latter part of January there were no passenger trains of any sort trom Hungary into Rumania on this account. Once on a train ready to enter the country, there is every likelihood of being thrown off, if anybody's sus- picion finds tne slightest material to feed upon. At the border Hungarian gendarmes and Rumanian soldiers marshal the crowd of passengers for examination. Filthy as the waiting rooms and the trains generally are in this section, the ordeal of health in- spection is carried out to such an ex- tent that tne passenger regards it as a grim sort of joke. During the chaotic conditions which exist, the loss of b e is to be taken as an expected incident of the journey, and it is openly charged by many that railway men are allowed to seize pieces of baggage and loot them for what they are worth. Dead Left Under the Snow. The reinforced French army in Al- sace from the Swiss frontier to the neighborhood of Nancy is reported to be progressing a little every day. The positions gained are being strength- prevent a third _retirement T be the strength the Germans may bring against them. In a recent battle in the Vosges the troops on both sides used skis. The French had been operating in this manner for some time, but it was only recently that several regiments of ‘Bavarian troops adopted the ski. The Alpine Chasseurs and the Bavarians met on a forest slope where the snow lay to a depth of three feet. The French proved to be faster than the Germans but failed to entirely cut them off. The Germans, however, were ob- liged to retreat leaving a great num- ber of dead and wounded. The for- mer it was impossible to bury on ac- count of the depth of the snow and the condition of the soil, so they were left under the snow and the wounded transported with great dificulty to the nearest Red Cross hospital. The Germans are reported to be transforming the forest Nonnenbruch on the route from Cernay to Mulhouse into a veritable fortress. The reason for the extraordinary precautions taken here is supposed to be their wish to defend the potash mines in this vicinity which are said to be worth at least $25,000,000. Pleased with Astors. The large number of actors now in the field for Germany is indicated by a recent remark of the Bmperor while on one of his flying trips to Berlin. Bent on a visit to staff physician Dr. von Tlberg, his Majesty encountered a well-known playwright and Gustav Kadelburg, the actor. Summoning them to him he an- nounced that many others 'of _their profession were at the front, including two famous actors who have received the Iron Cross. “I am very well sat- isfled with them”, the Kaiser declared. “They fight very well indeed.” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What March Will Be. Mr. Editor: Those of your readers who have followed up The Cloud Digger predictions will have to_ac- knowledge that every storm for Feb- ruary came along just as scheduled, and rains have all been heavy for the season. + Nine inches of rain in January and 5 inches in ,February, mean nothing less than a 'very dry June and July. For March I find the first of the month unsettled and probably rain, one ‘big storm is due from 7th to 10th. The snows of March will be greater than the entire winter. The usual high winds will run well into April this year. From the 15th to 18th a big distur- bance is due, rain and snow, terrific wind and hale, also thunder and sharp lightning. I still insist that we are to have an early spring. Earlier than for many years. Everything points to a fruitful one also. On the whole March will be a typical equinoxial month, but much colder than either January of February, the last of the month and well into April a cold, foggy spell is due. Get ready for it. THE CLOUD DIGGER. Packer, Conn., Feb, 28, 1915, Charity Should Not End at Home. Mr, Editor: I read the letter from Thomas W. Allyn of Norwich in The Bulletin of February 18, and I can- not agree with him, which is mot strange as I am usually on the off side. I belleve “Charity should begin at home,” but I do not think it should end there. Now America has a great many people (ahd I think every coun- try has them), who would never give charity unless it was to help some new fad and a great deal of the charity sent to the war zone has come from Soap and Cuticura Ointment for skin purity and beauty.

Many of our peo- ple have near relatives and dear| friends in Burope and it would be in-{ human for us as a Christian nation to refuse them food or clothing that can be spared, even if our own must give up luxuries to make up the cost. I also think as a neutral country it is both right and humane to sell to each and every country food and clothing to prevent more terrible suffering than must be endured, but I do not think we, as a neutral nation (and more especially as a Christian nation), have any right to sell to any country in the war zone any arms, ammuni- tion or vessels, or any raw material to be used to make the same. We are a mixed people amd every one favors their own nation but I am sure none of us really want German rule, or Russia to condemn our boys to her Siberian mines, or Turkish rule and England (the only country who uses the same language with us) was not a satis- factory mother country in the past, and would be no better in the future. It has always seemed to me that Canada really belonged to the United States because her nearness makes her interests the same and also an easy chance for criminals from both sides to “slip over the line,” but she is not worth a war to us, although if she ever rises against the mother country, as if the present struggle reaches her, there will be no escape for our own country being drawn into a war that will be almost a second Civil war.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Socioty Bukovina—Legend has it _that the old gods are in exile in Bukovina.

However true this may be in the case of the gods, it is true in the case of the peoples of Bukovina that most of them went there in exile. They are Ruthenian and Roumanian tribes who were crowded out in the bitter struggles through which Europe came to its Ppresent ' apportionment. They, like their neighbors the exiled gods, lead lean existences in the small, moun- tainous forest land which lles on the outskirts of everything. “Bukovina is an Austrian crown- larnd, with the rank of a duchy, with a few small cities and a population of some 800,000. It presents an unob- structed frontier to the Russians, while it is cut off from the Austro- Hungarian Empire by the Carpathian mountains. Its chi®f city, Czernowitz, is just across from the Russian fron- tier. Broken spur ranges from the Carpathians, further, isolate much of Bukovina from its neighboring Gali cia.
