In all strikes which con- pern transportation companies the pub- 3ic is always a great.sufferer, and is gratifying feel that far more consideration is being’ givens to -them under present day conditionsfthan has prevailed sometimes, In this particular instance‘the city of Chicago is especially interested in @& resumption. of the car service, for swhile it must naturally be in any blocking of public utilities, it stood in a way to lose.heavily through a prolonged. tying up of the lines, since 1t receives an.appreciable income each year from the receipts of the trolley lines in returnifor-the rights granted.

CONVOYS FOR AMERICAN SHIPS. It may seem a bit strange that the captain of the American liner St. Paul should object to the protection which would seem to be given to his vessel by being convoyed by British destroy- ers while in the war zone set up Germany, but as a matter of fact it is not objection to the protection which is being given, so much as it is a question as to just how much addi- tional danger is being thrown about the neutral ship by the presence of bellizerent warshiy As a matter of fact t N0 need of anv:conv sels which re should be v by neutral ves- e engaged In le mate business.

The Iimmigration question dealing with the foreigner who is contemplat- ing a residence In this country is al- ways an important one. Equally so is the policy of thisicountry in dealing with the immigrant after he has elect- ed to make-the United States his home and passed the necessary require- ments. Such people make up a con- siderable part-of the population of the country and it is vital that they should e S0 dealt with that they will become of greater value to themselves and to the nation.

Not only civilization, but industrial peace and THE PULSE OF GREECE. The position which Greece has main- tained relative to the war has been the cause for much concern, both in that counfry and elsewhere. Had the plan which was started, and which was advocated by Venizelos, gone through, Greece would be today &3 d in the conflict. Even though Greece is deeply interested as a friend of Servia the Venizelos plan was not proved by the king, who throuch v ties has a leaning towards the Teutonic allies, but the outcome of the recent election in that country adi closes the attitude of the people and the strength which the advocates of participation will have in the lowen house of the Greek parliament. Through the election the question of intervention has been placed before the people and there can be no ques- tion as to where the majority stands on that important matter. All the sec- of the country have spoken and give endorsement to Venizelos, man who has accomplished so ch in recent years for Greece. Tt cannot heln but make a deep impre: sfon the king and his advisers. fan The nulse'of the nation could have beer in no Detter way. In therefore, azain surrounds the action of that country at this time, even as it does Rumania, Greece has the same reasons for desiring to enter the conflict which other countrles in that reglon have, and the very action bas been taken which was needed to open the way for a change In attitude upon the part of Constantine. While his illness may cause some delay, the course which Greece can be expected to pur: henceforth appears to be clearly iced. HUSTLING LEGISLATION. The action of the United States su- preme court in refusing to review the Caminetti case where prosecution was brought and conviction secured unde the federal white slave act ends all hope of an interpretation of that law the highest court in the land at this time, In this instance, as in others which have since arisen, the contention is that the law is made to cover matters which were not contemplated when the law was passed. It.has even been stated by Congressman Mann, who was responsible for the drafting the law that personal escapades were not aimed at. The purpose was to strik at the commercialism in vice and co- ercion to vice through interstate traf- fic in women. That the law was drawn even broad- er than it may have been intended has been disclosed by the careful study of its provisions. The action of the supreme court does not give as- sistance in settling the disputed point except that by refusing to review the case the conviction must stand, That being the final move in the case either new grounds must be found for tak- ing it to the court of last resort, or if there is a demand for a clearer set- ting forth of the requirements it must be done through legislation. The declaration of the man who drafted the law to the effect that it is more drastic than intended calls at- tentlon to the carelessness which sur- rounds ‘too much legislation. There may be at times an advantage in hust- ling new laws through, but more often it Tesults in just what has occurred in this case. EDITORIAL NOTES.

It winds and turns with the most unexpected abruptness and inconstancy through- ay, being especially capricious of direction in the Russian part of its course. It passes about 12 miles scutheast of Przemysl and ap- proaches to within about 15 miles of Lemberg, whence it flows for the rest of its way through Galicia roughly parailel w railway. Dniester h the Lemberg-Czernowitz The railway crosses the just morth of Stanislau. In many stretches the channel of the river is confined, averaging in width between 500 and 750 feet, though in some piaces it widens out to as much as 1400 feet. Along its way in Galicia where the Russian and Aus- tro-Germans are fighting, the river is narrow and shallow. While the spring floods of the Dniester often cause the waters to rise to such a degree as to submerge much of the surrounding country, sometimes raising the level of the water 20 feet, these floods oc- cur in the latter part of February and March, and have now subsided. The Dniester, however, is still high, and its current, strong even during shallow water, must prove an obsta- cle to the river's passage. “The rapids and shallows have greatly retarded its employment as a traffic_route. The governments have xpended large amounts in the en- deavor to oped the waterway, but, its greatly varying depth and the coast- liness of sufficient improvement have operated to minimize the stream’s commekeial importance. It passes through regions rich in products best carried by water transportation, such bulk products as the grains and tim- ber of Galicia and the _agricultural products of Bessarabia. In dry years the water is so low as to permit of only two or three weeks of navigation, while in others freight craft are able to ply without interruption. “Innumerable tributaries flow to the Dniester, but, none probably, of any importance, with the possible excep- tion of the Sereth in Galicia. _The river mouth and the lower part of the river are rich in fish supplies. Carp, pike, salmon, sturgeon, and eels are caught. The banks of the stream along the Austro-German and_ Russian line are sharply defined, in places difficult, but not approaching the steeper for- mation of the cliff”. TO MAKE HATS INTERESTING 2 “I thought of something as I was coming _home,” Loretta replied with glee. “I saw a hat on the car that looked as though it had a parasol half closed on it, and I was wishing that the woman who wore it had a string that she would pull to make it open and shut for our edification, when I had an idea.” “Share it with me.” “It seems to me that there ought to be some way to amuse an audience when the programme is dull,” Loretta proceeded solemnly. “And no one can even see the soloist open and shut his mouth because of the forest of hats, so I think I had better suggest a way out of this desert of dullness. Don't you think it would be a good idea to have little figures around the brim of a hat running after each oth- er, like the little rabbits in the shoot- ing gallery?” “There could be such originality shown and it would be so entertaining. Ithink I should Jave all the char- acters in ‘Little Red Riding Hood' on mine, and I'd keep it wound up so that everybody could enjoy seeing them and thinking about the story all the time they sat there unable to un- derstand, the singer and unable to see a thing but the hats.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bad Lows. Mr. Editor: The following gleaned from the editorial columns of a west- ern medical magazine should excite more than a passing notice from intel- ligent citizens. _This editor caption of Bad Law The medical politicians—always ac- tive, always offensive to honest men, greedy, lusting for power—are urging the passage by. the Tilinois House of Representatives of two related laws that are unjust, meddlesome and un- constitutional. One is House Bill 213 requiring the registration of births within twenty- four hours of the event. This is a £00d_enough law In itself considered, but its purpose is simply to make House Bill 552 more cffective. House Bill 582 is really intended to open the ho: the entrance of medical politicians, independent of the desires of the parents entirely without regard to the ri £ the family physician and obstetrician. It advocated under the guise of a. ten- der solicitude for the welfare of in- fants. The state is so kind and motherly that it does not trust the physicians it has licensed to practice medicine but wants to “butt in” and treat those infants by the agency of men who, not having ability to build up a practice of their own, have secured a salary from the public money. For the pur- poses of this act any diseased condi- tion of the eyes, with or without dis- charge, shall be known as opthaluna neonatorium, independent of the na- ture of the infective. So far as we know, this is the first time that the iaw has intruded upon the domain of diagnosis, and, allowing nothing for the skill or intellizence of the physi- cian, compels him to report all case of ion of the eyes under one surgeon, midwife, nurse, maturity home or hospital of any nation, par- ent, relative or person assisting in ny way whatsoever * * * the oman or the child to report the case within six hour; cal health -authorities.

It makes no differ- ence that a legally qualified physician is in attendance; nor that the par- ents have more confidence in him than in_the unknown health board doct The family physician may know and probably does know, more than the combined members of the board of health (for political doctors are not eminent in learning).

A. W. DAVIS. Norwich, June 16, 1915. Stories of the War German Artillery Sharp and Exact. Writing from the front in France a soldier tells of his experiences th: “We have made some underground houses called trenches. On the first line we have not beautiful camp life, and we have made our holes very deep Those trenches look like a subway well arrangeq inside 5o as to rest com- fortably, and with facilities to make hot drinks and warm up dinner. The trouble for us is we have to move too often, and it glves us too much work. In our subway we don’t have to pay our fare, free ride entirely. “When we get up in the morning, already dressed, after a good washing, we feel ready for any eventuality, Then we get ready to prepare a lunch- eon from soup to meats with wine, etc. This luncheon is prepared on_the sec- ond line 100 vards behind. We don’t care what happens to us; we want our stomachs filled the first thing, “Then we have our little concerts, In a few minutes the trenches are transformed into a vaudeville concert hall.

The afternoon seems to us very short and joyful. “When the afternoon tea is coming, we hear again this famous ragtime. The German artillery is very sharp and exact to the minute. Knowing at what time we eat, they fire constantly, to anger us. We don't care, a8 we have plenty of time, and, even if we have no time to eat once, we take double next time, being used to that. I have been several days without eat- We don't die of starvation, and I believe we could make a habit of not cating at al “Well, after our concert, a light Ginner_is soon prepared, and we are ready for any game of the night. When the sun has set, and it is rapidly growing dark, some of us, by turn, are immediately taken as sentinels some vards ahead of our trenches, so as not to be surprised. The others are al ways on the job, ready to meet an eventualities, to attack or to defend ourselves against the enemy.

Some of us started a game of cards while oth- the lookout. After an | ers were on 3 hour and a half of that terrible firing, the artillery stopped.

Tobacco As Protector From Gas. Elaborate plans for defending posi- tions subject to gas attack are being pushed to completion by a special committee experts at the British War Office. For the artillerymen and of machine gun men, suits of “armor” are be modeled after the suits worn b ivers or colliery fire-fight- ing e The helmets will provide a complete cover for the head, with mica windows for the eyes, and a heavy respirator covering the mouth antl nose and supplied with a con- stant dampening of chemical from a small tin_reservoir under the hat. Clad in this_equipment the machine s and artillery can maintain @ po- n even if the infantry has to re- tire. For the infantrymen, the crude res- pirators at first supplied are now be- 2g replaced by hoods like the so- alled Balaclava helmets. A flap covers the face, mica windows being inserted to protect the eves, while the respirator pad is of cotton waste and large enough to last for an hour with- out replacing. Each soldier will car- ry two extra pads, enabling him to re- main in his trench position for three hours under ordinary circumstances. A chew of tobacco in time has saved many a soldier’s life during German as attacks according to a corporal of Conadian artillery in_a letter to the Rev. C. R. Durrant of Freston Rec- tory, Suffolk. He gives his reasons as follows: “Gas makes the air green amd vel- low and it chokes and poisons a man when he stands. The first time, we began to feel pretty choky at the guns and wondered if tobacco would help us. We thought we would try it and put @ big chew in our mouths. It made us spit the gas up. Now, when we notice the gas in the air, we just take a chew of tobacco.” Australian Wounded. Several hundred wounded Austra- lian soldiers from the Dardanelles are now in England, and have been quar- tered in various military hospitals and sanitariums. A committee of Aus- tralians resident in England has been formed to visit them and provide as ‘far_as possible for their wants. They all concur in describing _the Turk as a first-class fighting man, ex cept where the bayonet is concerned. Although the percentage of wound- ed in the Dardanelles is very heavy, considered in relation to the number of men engaged, they say, this is somewhat mitigated by ibs unusually planation of this is that it iz due to planation of this is that it k& dut to the preponderance of rifie and shrap- nel fire as opposed to the terrible in- juries. inflicted by high explosives in Belgium and France. Another ameli- orating factor is the dry climate and sterile, non-infectious = character of the soil.
