The clean sweep which the repub- lican ticket made in the city election, resulting as it did in a _ victory by a normal majority of 221 carries with it a significance which cannot be disregarded. That It was time for a change was generally recognized, but the interest manifested by such a large number of voters for an off year, corresponding well as it does with the vote of a mayoralty year, indi- cates not only the proper regard for the right use of citizenship, but it shows the logical result of standing together. The republican forces were united for the first time in several elections. Division threw the elections to the opponents as long as that existed and while the republican candidates named were calculated to make a strong ap- peal to the independent voter the value of the republicans uniting in their support is thoroughly established. Even though the election of the re- publican ticket does not mean con- trol of the council it will be impos- sible to overlook the demands of the people as thoroughly expregsed in the administration of the city affairs. The voters have insisted upon a- change and that is based not only upon the acts in the recent past, which have even caused dissension in the ranks of the faithful democrats, but also upon the policies which prompted them. The new members of the coun- cil can and should have a good in- fluence upon the conduct of city bus- iness. The election results indicate what can be anticipated a vear hence and to the new town committee must be ®iven proper credit for the improved _tonditions it has brought about. GRADE CROSSIN !;S. Many are the deaths which occur in the course of a year at railroad crossings and while the elimination of such traps is the one sure method of overcoming this needless waste of life it will be many years' yet before this happy solution is obtained be- cause of the large expemse which is involved. In the meantime every possible ef- fort should be made to lessen the number through prevention. It is a well known fact that carelessness and recklessness play. a most important part when it comes to such crossing mccidents. If there was a proper re- spect paid to the danger which exists at such points a much smaller num- ber would occur. There is perhaps no part of the country where there is a greater num- ber of such crossings than on Long Island and as if immune to hagm there is likewise a strong disposition to dis- pute the way with the locomotives by motorists. For the purpose of bring- ing reckless drivers to a greater real- ization of their responmsibilities the Long Island railroad has had large and conspicuous signs to be electrically lighted at night erected at the most dangerous of its 631 grade crossings where the plea is made “We are doing our part. Won’t you do yours?” How many lives will be saved will never be known. Only those killed or maimed at such points are ever heard of but the effort upon the part of the railroad is a commendable one. When It declares that all the precautions in the world will not save the lives of those who drive automobiles reckless- Iy over railroad crossings it speaks a truth which applies to heedlessness everywhere. The driver of the auto, ns well as the engineer and railroad, must do his part. MAC MILLAN’S FIND. Not every Arctic expedition results in the'accomplishment of its purpose, but from the reports from the Mac- ‘Millan party, even.though the object of the search was not found, an im- pression which has' prevailed concern- ing certain territory has been cleared up. rom euch observations as Peary was able to make on his Polar trip 1t was his‘belief that there was a tract of land to the west of his route which had not been previously mentioned. |1t was given the name of Crocker land and with a desire to make certain of it and know more about it MacMillan was sent to establish or disprove the 1fact. ! That .MacMillan now sends back iwprd . that there -is no”Crocker_ land, L A s i i the locality where it was supposed to have -been being nothing but ice cov- ered sea, places no discredit upon Pearl or the other results of his Polar expedition. It has simply been proven that what misled Peary was an op- tical illpsion, since MacMillan in his report says that he gained the same impression that Peary did at a dis- tance, but closer investigation, the reason for making the trip disclosed nothing but a vast tract of ice. MacMillan thus verifies Peary even though what was supposed to exist at a distance does not exist. The result i§ fot however barrenless for while a new land always increases Interest even in the far north the fact that there is none in that part of the Arc® tic region increases the portion of the globe about which certainty exists. ENGLAND'S NEED. Lioyd George proved himself a most efficient head of the British exchequer and the manner in which he has taken hold of his now office in the coalition cabinet as minister of war munitions indicates the wisdom of the selection which put him into that position_ Great Britain was not prepared for any such emergency as the war in which it has become invplved. Not only had it failed to provide for mu- nitions upon any such scale as the demand which has ensued but it also failed to anticipate such a war and the attendant ammunition require- ments. Thus when he declared to the Dundee gathering that the great Brit- ish need today is ammunition and equipment that it is under a handicap from which the forces in the field have been constantly suffering it ought to bring home to the manu- fagtirers and laboring mén of that country the very plain fact that grave responsibilities rest upon their shoul- ders. Ordinarily it would be expected that greater pressure would have to be brought in order to stimulate pa- triotism for enlistments and less for the forces at home to display their in- terest by turnink out ammunitioni but such does not appear to be the case. One explanation may be that many of those skilled in just such work have already gome to the front but that being the case enthusiasm should run high enough in any country to see that their places are filled at the bench and in the shops. No war has required such a great amount of explosives. It is one of the methods by which the war is be- ing fought and with an understand- ing of the true situation no country should need much urging to meet the requirements. Lloyd George is pre- senting the case in a manner which should get results FOLLOW IT UP. It doesn’t amount to much to gZet together and talk over conditions, ex- isting shortcomings ~and advisable steps for their improvement and let it go at that. Talk is cheap, but it needs to be followed by action if re- sults which are desired are going to be obtained. This is the situatlon which sur- roun the Pan American conference. Many valuable suggestions have been advanced. The need of better rela- tions has been emphasized over and over again and suggestions made as to how it can be accomplished. Now it remains for the real work to be done. There are obstacles to be over- come which it is well to tackle early and hard, but which it must be real- ized cannot be removed in a minute. Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department sizes up the situation well in this respect when he points out that the conference has disclosed the advisability of making it an annual affair with endeavors in the meantime to solve existing problems. It will never do to continue to dream over the possibilities of improvement. The problems cannot be left to solve them- selves, There must be a concerted attack based upon the revelations which the conference has secured. Un- less this and all the other nations keep everlastingly at work in behalf of the desired improvements they will not be obtained. An excellent start has been made and if all the countries put their shoulders to the wheel in meeting present demands and in giv- ing support to future conferences the relations of the Americans cannot do otherwise than grow better.

She drew the steaming kettle to the back of the range and dished out a big bowlful of the mixture and set it to cool that her husband might lose no time when he came—for he was late already. Then her eyes again sought _the clock on the high mantel. Why, Bri- an should be eating now—if he was to get back to the crossing to ewitch the local onto the siding, that the New 'am with the York flier might have a ciear track! ‘What could be keeping him?

To be sure, he never Mad broken the vow of total abstinence, made some years ago, when, in a delirious frenzy he had struck and crippled for life their one child, little Neil; but Oh, she was afraid — She was afraid! If only she were strong again! The clock struck 6. She s prang from her chair to press her face against the rain-washed ~window. Twenty minutes more, and the local train was due, closely followed by the express that every night fairly shook the cottage as it thundered past—and what if Brian were not there to,throw the switch! She groaned aloud at the thought; then reached weakly for the shawl hanging behind the door. She must go herself! The thud of Neil's crutches on the step stayed her hand. She threw wide the door, crying: “Neil-Neil! See the time, child,” pointing to the clock, “see the time— and your father—Oh, Neil, tis wild I fear that something’s wrong with him! Think, boy—if he's not there to side-track the local! shuddering. But even before she had finished, quick-witted Neil had tossed his pa- pers aside, and was tearing off his old top coat. His mother clutched his arm her eyes wide with a new horror. “What is it, Nell? thinking to do? “Throw the switch myself, if—if— anythings befallen Daddy Am* must go light,” wriggling himself free from her retaining hand, and throw- ing his dripping coat inside before stumping away into the smothering d ness. ‘But you never cean do it, boy — with the feeble arms of ye! Come back! Come back, I say!” Then as the awful fate of those on the local if left in the path of the on-rushing ex- press, came to her afresh, she screamed: ‘But ye must do it, child, ye must! It’s for the poor creatures down yon- der, hurryin’ to their death! For them —and for yer Daddy! Ah! and but a short 10 minutes left! Can ye meake it, Neil—can ye?” A panting vocie came bravely back through the cruel storm. “Don’t be fearin’, mother! I guess T'll make it, just—God willin'!” The woman leaned far out the door, unheeding the sting of the slapping rain, and strained her ears for the familiar tremble betokening the com- ing of the local.

At the first movement of his wife, Brian Lendoon bent over her. Mona, acushia—are ye better?” The Irish-blue eyes opened wearily. “Have they brought him—our little ‘Neil—home?” she sobbed brokenly. “Brought him home—it is? Indeed, then, he brought himself home—and me into the bargain!” proudly, “Lis- ten, Mona—if it hadn’t been for his bravery this night, there’d not be enough left of Brian Lendoon to hold a decent wake over!” ‘She lifted herself weakly and clutched his arm, searching his face sharply. Am I dreaming, Brain—or is it true Neil {s—is—alive?” shé choked, unable to question him further. “Never a scratch on either of us; and I owe my life to the boy—God bless him! Listen!” ‘Throught the tdin partition came the boy’'s shrill treble, telling the story to sympathetic Tim Murphy.

Ah! then ‘twas the big vell I let out of me; and glory be—it brought him back to senses just in time for him (to roll off :the track .before the train shot by. Yes, sure—'twas the fine vell, I gave!” re- peated Neil, in frank admiration of the voice capable of producing such a “fine yell” in time of need. Through blinding tears, Mona's eves asked the question her trembling lips refused to frame; and Brian answered: — 1t was tramps—bad luck to them— that put me on the track, after beat- ing and robbing mé of my pay.” “And to think—" sobbed his wife “that while ye lay there, almost mur- dered, I, in my wickedness was thinking ' that perhaps ye were — were. Oh, Brian, can you ever forgive me?” drawing his face down to hers. ““Tis not for the likes of me to be blaming ye, Mona. You had good reason to be mistrustful of me!” he returned sadly. “For men are but weak creatures; 'though I'm not wanting another experience, such as crippled the boy!” with a shudder, “No—I'm thinkin’ the one lesson was enough for Brian Lendoon!” huskily. “But I'd no right to doubt you Bri- an—" persisted Mona _penitently, “and you so steady all these years since that time. He patted her hand awkward! “Forget it, Mona—forget i he comforted, “Forget it—and listen to the music in the other room, instead!" as Neil's boyish laugh rang out. “Faith—to my ears, that laught 1is sweeter than the grandest Te Deum ever chanted!” declared Brian, draw- ing a brawny hand across his misty eye: And his wife nodded agreement.— Boston Record. Stories of the War What Shortage of Ammunition Means. The following speech by Captain Jersey De Knoop of the Cheshire Yeo- manry, emphasizing the thousands of casualities in the British forces caused directly by shortage of ammunition was published in the Manchester Guardian, but®the Press Bureau censors refused pertnission to certain of the Lon- don newspapers to reprodiice it. Captain De Knoop is a well-known provincial political leader and the probable candidate of the Unionist party for the next vacant seat in the House of Commons. He is at present home from the front, recovering from two severe wounds. The speech was, delivered at the annual meeting of the Northwich Unionist Association. ‘We are just about approaching the crisis of the war”, said Captain De Knoop, “and it depends upon the be- havior of the people of the country whether the war is to drag on into the years. “Many things have conduced to the tone of opinion now prevalent among a large section. Before the war, many believed there could be no such thing as war, and that it was stupid to spend money on war munitions. This led people into a comfortable frame of mind, and they can scarcely be blamed for not even yet realizing the state of Affairs. But they must be told. “I have arrived from the front on Monday. There was nothing in Lon- don to suggest that I had just left, only sixty miles away, a life-and- death struggle. Any number of un- married men were meandering about the streets and they certainly did not seem to be detained by business of vital importance. In the country dis- tricts the only indication of war was the notice in the railway carriages to draw down the blinds, and this was generally disregarded. “But the people must be made to realize the position, for every minute’s delay is jeopardizing thousand of lives. “I was sent on the wild-goose chase of trying to relieve Antwerp. Then my command joined up with the main army which hung on simply by the evelids and kept the Germans from breaking through to Calais. Thous- ands were killed largely through lack of ammunition on our side. The men were kept in the trenches day after day, night after might, simply because thers was nobody to relieve them. They hung on and fought as weil as Britons ever fought since the world began. They fought and they died for want of forethought. “We in this country have got to see to it that no more are thus sacrificed. “Then we were told that ammunition was comifig along and that all would be well. But we have seen in the pa- pers how the brilliant iInfantry attack north of La Bassee was stopped and thousands of casualties incurred ow- ing to lack of ammunition. “On the day T was hit. we were re- leving men in the trenches who were 80 dog-tired that they could scarce- 1y move. At four o'clock in the morn- ing the shelling by the Germans be- gan. I had seen a certain amount of shelling before that, but everybody agreed with me that there had never been anything like this in the history of warfare. Ten, twelve, fifteen shells at a time were bursting up and down the line. Our gunners could do prac- tically nothing. The reason of all this was that we had had to recruit in a turry and had taken mechanics who ought to have remained behind to make shells. As long as we have the voluntary system we cannot really or- ganize labor. Contrast our position with that of the French, who quickly realized - the likellhood of 'a shortage of shells and the mechanics. immediately sent back It is owing to the French guns that the French army has done so well. At the front we read in the British newspapers of workmen at home going on strike for another half-penny an hour, or because they are asked to do a bit of extra work. What would hap- pen if a battalion refused to go into a trench because they had only had a v off after doing forty-eight hours? What would happen to the Empire if there were suc ha spirit at the front? “The men in the trenches look upon these fellows at home as stark, staring mad. Strike ought to be absolutely unheard of. “It Is a long lane before we reach the turning, and a thorny path that we have to tread in the meantime. But people at home must see to it that more munitions are turned out. Lord Kitohener must have his 300,000 men today rather than tomorrow. “We must win, but we have got to break down a machine which has been preparing for 45 years. We must let the French know that this country is going to fight with the whole and not with a quarter of its power. Those who talk about its not mattering whether they live under the German Emperor or the British King should see the terrible sights I have seen! Only a strip of water separates us from it!" Distribute Papers by Airship. ‘When the Germans moved into St. Quentin last fall the bottom dropped out of the newspaper business so far as that city was concerned. It therefore devolved upon the Ger- mans to supply this need, along with many, many others, and they have done it to some extent by the publi- cation of thé “Gazette des Ardennes.” ‘The “Gazette” however, has served more than to supply St. Quentin with news as seen through German specta- cles, and its “circulation,” thanks to the aeroplane, extends far beyond the borders of the city and even beyond the German-French fighting lines. The French, since the beginning of the war, have not published the lists of their losses as have the English and the Germans. The latter explain this as due to the peculiar temperament, which would be vastly depressed at an exact knowledge of the terrible cost of the war, and not spurred to extra ef- fort as in the case of the Anglo-Saxon race. The Gazette des Ardennes, how- ever, whenever, it is possible con- tains French death lists giving them feasible names and when not feasible figures and numbers. Immediately after each issue of the Gazette there is an alrship ascension and one or more German fliers, loaded with copies of the French paper, fly over that part of France held by French troops and drop the little journal in _ populous communities. The French authorities are far from pleased at this bit of newspaper en- terprise, vet have found no way of stifiing it. So the Gazette con- tinues to appear about once a week, and the aviators continwe to make their flights.

In peace times, a garrison of more than 6,000 men is stationed here, and here are located the administration offices of Italy’s 3rd Army Corps. “Verona is less thai 10 miles dis- tant from the Austrian frontier, from that part of the Austrian Tyrol that projects as a deep wedge into the north Italian hill country. It lies 71 miles west of Venice by rail and 93 miles east of Milan, another great north- ern railway, centdr, on jboth banks} of the rapld Alige River.' It above sea level, with the main and old- er part of the city lying within an abrupt loop made by the river. The population of the city with its sub- urbs, is about 80,000. ~ The main rail- way lines from Modena and Mantau to Trent and Bozen, and from Venice to Milan cross the city. The Verona, Venice, Portogruaro line parallels the Austrian frontier and has many strat- egic branches of much the same value to the Italians in their present strug- gle as the Posen-Tilsit line is to the Germans_in their defense of their eastern frontler. “Verona must be the immediate ob- jective of any invasion from the Tren- tino salient. From Verona west, the trunkline railway leads through a rich industrial and farming region to the great northern towns of Milan and Turin. To the east lies Venice, and to the south are a constellation of thriving manufacturing towns. The frontier before Verona is strongly for- tifled, both on the Italian and Austrian sides. In recent years, a wide-flung circle of forts, ‘far outside of the ob- solete city walls, were begun as a new scheme for the city's defense. The building of these redoubts raised Ver- ona to the position of a fortress of first rank. . “The beginnings of the Veronese for- tifications that still remain standing today date from 1527, when Verona was surrounded with new walls and bastions by Sanmicheli. Following the Congress of Vienna, Verona fell to Austria’s share, and the Austrians caused the city to be strongly forti- fled. ~ The Austrians further fortified Peschiera, Mantua, and Legnago, for- ming the famous ‘Quadrilateral’, upon which powerful series of foriresses the Austrian rule in Italy relied for its principal support until 1866. Verona is the key position to northern Ital “Both prosperous and progres the city has multiplied its endeavor many times during the last score years. Today there are large paper and cotton mills in the city, an immense nail factory, and piano and organ factories. There is, also, a sig- nificant manufacture of war mun tions centered here, extensive artillery establishments, and_ important arsen- als. Among the other more import- ant manufactures are silks, soap, can- dles and sugar. Verona had a large and growing Hungary, Switzerland, and Germany. It exported wines, rice and marble, and, twice each year it held a noted horse market. ‘A city of wonderful art works, of weather-stained, white marbde palaces, often richly sculptured and gometim: showing the worn. evidences of sump- tuous paintings, with impressive, well- preserved ruins from the days of be- fore the Christian era, Verona has somewhat the appearance of luxurious dacay, with which a confident, push- ing, success-breathing spirit of the last few years has contrasted sharply.
