Germany’s course has been nding encouragement to the allies to do likewise if not worse. It certainly has no cause for complaint when it is given a dose of its own medicine. LEARN HOW TO SWiIMm. Following a steamship disaster or the loss of life by drowning in a river, at a beach or by accidentally falling overboard, greatly deplored is the fact that so many people do not know how to swim. The trouble is that too lit- tie thought has been given to the ne- ssity of providing all the protec- tion possible to the individual on such occasions. Some of this may be due to the fact that.those unexpected affairs were not anticipated, but experience shows that wherever ‘- danger is in- volved it is unwise to overlook proper precaution. Realizing : that the - education of a child :is not complete until he knows how to swim and thereby aided to take are of himself on water as well as on land, some cities have ordered swimming lessons for school children and in Philadelphigy sixteen stations have been establishtd for this pur- pose. . Proficiency in swimming has oL FE LN A also_been made obligatory in certain colléges before a diploma will be awarded, and the result of such a rec- ognition of the value of swimming is bound to be most profitable to all who come under such requirements, Abllity to swim does not guarantee that people will not be drowned. Some of the best swimmers have met death in the water, but knowing how to keep afloat and being acquainted with the conditions which follow a sudden immersion fortifies a person and gives him a chance to help himself and to heip others. Self preservation is one of the first laws and until a person knows how to swim he is not fully prepared to take care of himself and when it comes to learning the advan- tages lie with the youth. NAVY NOT A TOY. There have been cries of jingoism and claims of politics because of the efforts which have been made for the strengthening of the navy even though they have been based upon a realiza- tion of the existing condition and the necessity of keeping that branch of the country’s defense fit in every par- ticular, but the statement which was made by former Secretary of the Navy Meyer before the National Security league cannot be passed by unheeded. No one is better fitted to speak with authority upon this subject than the former secretary. Though it has been declared by others, and even by offi- clals connected with that department of the government, that the navy is not up to the proper requirements, and these claims have since been proven by revelations, the opinion of the predecessor of the present secre- tary cannot do otherwise than direct an increased amount of attention thereto. Even the demands made by Congressman Gardner and refused, that there be an investigation of the preparedness of the country in case it was thrown into war, are shown, to have been only reasonable and just what was needed at the time to bring the head of the navy department to a realization of its real condition, It is time that it was understood that the navy is of the utmost im- rortance for the defense of the coun- try and it cannot be treated as a play thing and subjected to neglect with- out serious results. It is also one of the zreat arguments for peace and it deserves to be handled and treated in a sensible manner. TIME PUBLIC OPINION ACTED. Invariably it is the case where Iynchers set out to accomplish their purpose they are successful. but there are instances when the author- ities in full realization of the respon- sibility which rests upon them to up- hold the law are able to frustrate such lawlessness. Usually it is accomplisheq by subterfuge and occasionally by the sacrifice of their own lives. This was the case recently in South Carolina when a sheriff fell in defending his prisoner. In the adjoining state of Georgia the mob however carried out i sign when the sheriff gave up his man without opposition and lynch law carried the d Whatever progress the south is making for the suppression of the Iynching bees there still remains plen- ty of opportunity for improvement. While:the representative of the law in one instance was thoroughly alive to his duties and apparently in sympathy with the prescribed course such did not prevail the other state. In both s, however, there was displayed he citizens of those respective com- munities an_utter disregard for law and order. By them there was no in- clination to have the law maintained or to permit justice to prevail. With them it is to be believed that there is respect only for might. The killing of the South Carolina sheriff, however, should carry its own lesson to the people of any commu- nity which is located in a civilized country. He can be looked upon as a martyr to the cause of justice and if there is any public sentiment in that locality it will have witnessed its last demonstration of mob rule and lynch law, EDITORIAL NOTES.

L it et o ot e Do, STl ___ZT P - THE OLD AND THE NEW WAY Arthur Dale sat under an apple tree near the Wayside Inn, waiting for his coffee and reading an old leatherbound history of the notori- ous highwaymen of the 18th century, and laughing over those times so dif- ferent from today; at the sound of a motor he looked up to see before the inn an_electric bx;loughnm from which wo _ladies stepped. : “Strawberries_here, Ma Mere!” said the yecunger lady. Her voice was pleasant, and she was pleasant to see, with her brown eyes and bright face and her sand- colored linen frock with a deep red rose in the white fluffiness at the neck. a Arthur could see the crimson fruit placed on the porch table. and, when the ladies walked back to their brougham, he had a full view of the girlish, smiling, brown-eved face. “She’s a bonny creature,” he mur- mured; “wish I could make her ac- quaintance. But how In good old times, now, she would be riding on her horse and the road gentlemen would attack her. I should dash up at the psychological moment, rescue her and win her gratitude—and love.” While Dale thus meditated, the brougham whirred away, the breeze whispered in the apple-tree. the bees buzzed in the clover, and then — why, there stood the brown-eved girl dressed in a riding habit; a liveried servant helped her to mount a horse and rode away behind her! Dale hastened to pay his reckon- ing to 2 %osy-cheeked bar-maid or- dered his mount—his runabout was gone—thrust some huge pistols into the holsters, and rode off on a dreary road; he shuddered, as he saw at the crossroads a gruesome _object, gal- lows from which dangled two ghastly 1imp bundles which had been men. “Highwaymen,” Dale thought, “and there may be others watching for her.’ Listening, with Lis ear to the ground he detected the trot of two horses be- fore him and also the clatter of hur-~ rying hoofs behind; spurring on, he saw the lady rider but scarcely had he approached her, when three high- waymen galloped up. Dale caught the bridle of the lady’'s horse, urging her to dash with him for safety; but she believing him a robber, pulled her- self free; the frightened servant had fled, and while Dale struggled with the highwayvmen, some soldiers ran up and quickly overpowered Dale with them, thrust irons on him, and dragged him away. Soon he found himself in a loath- some dungeon from which he was taken to a court-rcom before a stern judge who would hear some of his protestations. The soldiers declared that they found Dale with the other highwaymén attacking a lady; the lady ond her servant witnessed that Dale had seized her horse's bridle and drawn a pistol. The judge promptly sentenced him to be hung at the cross-roads, the soldiers dragged him away, and the gallows with its dangling burdens was al- ready in sight, when Dale. withr a des- perate effort, broke away from his captors and —stood beneath an apple tree, staring wildly about and finally at a shattered coffee cup! Joyous he cried. “Good old times! Not for me Having paid his account made with due regard to broken crockery, Dale whizzed off in his fleet runabout along a pleasant New England road. As he entered a shadowy stretch of pines, he saw approaching him a graceful, light-clad figure. Could it be the brown-eved girl? Yes, there was the red rose at her neck! Dale sprang from his car. “Tam so thankful to see vou!” cried the girl. ‘'m proud, I'm sure,” he replied. “I mean’ she stammered, “Im so glad to see a man.” “Pleased to be one,” Dalo. “Oh!” she said, “I don’t mean mean I do—well, I'm glad, anyhow Both laughed. and she continued “You see, my car has a_tantrum, and I can't make it go, and I've walked miles without meeting a person, and poor Ma Mere all alone—" “Is the brougham far from here?” asked Dale, assisting the girl into his machine. “A thousand miles when vou walk alone in the sun, but not so far when murmured T you are motoring, and there is a man.” A few minuteg of speeding brought the runabout to the stranded brougham and a distracted lady. “Marian, how thankful I am to see you safe back!” she exclaimed. “This gentleman—" began_the girl. “Arthur Dale.” prompted Dale. “Mr, Dale.” Marian continued, “has been sent '# a kind Providenca. My mother, Mrs. Brent, Mr, Dale.” Dale burrowed beneath the broug- ham on_an exploring tour and emerged, flushed and dusty but cheer- ful. “Nothing serious,’ he announced; THE WAR PRIMER By Natlonal Geographic Society “Gradisca is a strategic point upon the western branch of the trunkline from Klagenfurt to Triest, the rail- way dividing at Goerz, one branch taking its way esouthwest _through Gradisca and Monfalcone, the other making a wide sweep to the southeast, joining egain just before Triest. The great part of interior Austria's com- merce with her famous seaport has passed over this line in peace times, and with Istrian territory under at- tack, both branches of this northern railway assume a primary import- ance as e line for the forwarding of munitions of war. Montfalcone, about 10 miles southwest of Gradisca and some four miles from the Adriatic, is situated upon this rail line where it is joined by an Italian branch from Venice. “Chiefly important as a point for the defense of northern rail communi- cations, Gradisca has enjoyed little or no public attention for several cen- turies past until the recent Italian in- vasion. On rarer occasions, some tour- ist leaves the recognized paths for self-improvement, paths painfully marked out by bold mile posts in the travelers’ guides, and wanders to Gradisca and through the neighboring historic, but now decaying, cities at the head of the Adriatic. There are many stirring associations in this country where the Italians, the Slavs and the Germans have met in the fric- tion of borderland strife and diplo- macy through centuries. There are no citles of first importance through- out this entire region. “Gradisca lles 10 miles southwest of Goerz, or as the news dispatches are carrying the name, Goritz. It is a dwindling village of 4,000 inhabi- tants. It is a strongly fortifled point, guarding the right bank of the Ison- zo and the railway line. Almost the entire population is Itallan, or with & strong intermixture of Latin blood. In 1420, it came under the power of Venice. In 1647, Gredisca and sur- rounding territory was made into a separate countship in the favor of a mnoble German family, and, upon the extinction of this line in 1717, it pass- ed to Austria. The oply commercial importance of Gradisca is that of its silkk spinning.’ B im—nm &t “you see—you understand the ma- chine, I suppose?” “She doesn's Mr. Dale,” declared Mrs. Brent; she doesn’t know_ any more about its inwards than I do, and I don't know a—a spark from a— a carbaretor! We were geese to go out on a lonely road without a man.” With tools from his kit Dale soon had the car in running order. “We-don’t know how to say our thank-yous warmly enough.” = sald Mrs. Brent, giving Dale her card with her hand, in her good-bye, “but we hope you will soon let us have the opportunity to try to say them in our own house.” Dale looked after the brougham, as. gently purring, it leisurely slipped away, and, laughing at the remem- brance of his recent day-dream, he said: “Well, sure!” . And it seemed to him that the figure of the girl in the disappearing cap melted like a dissolving view into a me for modern methods, white-robed, brown-eyed bride on whose finger, he, - Arthur Dale, was slipping a wedding-ring. — Boston Record. Stories of the War The Swiss Army. The Swiss army, in the opinion of the Swiss Federal Council, is the most efficient, most economically managed,] and most democratic, in Europe. Its efliciency is evidenced by the fact at the beginning of the European ‘war, thig little nation of less than four million inhabitants, had completed the mobilization of her army eagre gith- er Germany or France. In the first week of war she was able to post on her frontiers over 250,000 trained sol- diers, a larger force than Great Bri- tain was able to throw into Belglum after many weeks of arduous labor. The comparative cheapness of main- tenance of the Swiss army is shown in the budget returns. The army costs annually in peace time $2.20 per head of population. Germany's peace’ ex- penditures for the same purpose is $4.75 per head. The Swiss army is in the strictest sense a democratic service. Every would-be officer starts as a private with the ordinary recruit's course, and promotion to the commissioned and non-commissioned ranks is by merit. and n\t by seniority, except that it is conditioned on four vears' service in each rank. There are no generals in the army except in time of war, the highest pegge-time rank being that of Colonel. The General appointed at the beginning of the present mobiliza- tion is the first which Switzerland has had since 1870, when the republic as- serted its neutrality by disarming and interning the army of the French Gen- eral Hurbaki, which was forced over the front Switzerland has universal military service—along with such modern ideas as the referendum and initiative. BEv- ery male Swiss citizen is a potential soldier, and those who for reasons of health or otherwise are excused from the usual course of military training must pay a special tax and must also be enrolied in the “supplementary ser- vice” army The striking force of the army con- sists of about 300,000 men, divided into $hree classes—the Elite, men of twenty to thirty-two years; the Land- wehr, 33 to 40 vears, and the Land- strum, 40 to 48. The supplementary services number 200,000, making a to- tal fishting force of half a million men, or one-eight of the entire population. The military training begins with gymnastic drill and_rifle practice in the public schools. Between the ages of 20 and 20 the young man gets a regular vearly period of training, ten to twelve weeks the first year, and about a fortnight for the seven follow- ing vears, when he passes into the Landwehr. This division is called out for eleven days' training every four vears. The Landstrum is only called in _time of war. nd poor serve side by side in the ran There are no “fashionable regiments’ Officers are given sup- plemental training in the schools at Thun or Basel, but_there are no war like West Point. soldier when he is out of training keeps his rifie and equipment in his own house, and he is«encouraged to keep his marksmanship up to re- quirements by constant practice.

No cne is paid for his service in peace time, as a soldier. Of the of- ficers, only the few who are on the General Staff receive remuneration, ang their pay is small. Tn time of war, the Commander-in-Chief is by law en- titled to $10 a day., while the private receives azbout fifteen c®nts.

King Albert Sees a Gymkana. King Albert of the Belgians, who has not had many afternoons off dur- ing the last eleven months, took one off to see a show—a gymkana. He has stuck as close to his job in what remains of his kingdom as has many a desk-ridden businass man who can- not be induced to go to the mountains or to the seashore. Whether living in their own houses, or refugees whose houses in the fight- ing zones have been demolished by shells, the French people in the rear of the British front have not had many afternoons off either. The women, the old, the crippled, and every child who could hold a hoe has taken the place of the able-bodied men away at war. With the crops all in and the wheat ripening, word came that strange plc- turesque mortals from somewhere be- yond the Arablan Nights country, known as the British Indian troops, who had been refrigerating through a raw Flanders winter in French barns and outbuildings, were to give an ex- hibition of horsemanship. Everybody was invited and there was no admission fee. It was like a free Wild West show on the outskirts of a New England village, with a chance to see a heroic king. The scene was a small plateau hardened by hoofs of the cavalry drill, the only space In nothern France which the industry of those too weak to fight had not made green with cul- tivation. Across the sweep of flelds and groves which hid the trenches and batteries along the British front, was an almost unbroken silence, but far- ther north a section of the horizon was roaring like a gigantic muffleq snare drum. There French guns, hundreds of French guns, were busy tearing awey at the German works known as “The Labyrinth.” There men were being killed or wounded every minute, but those 1iv- ing near the front thought nothing of that. They are used to it as is any- body living in the neighborhood of Niagara Falls to their roar. Joy was in the Indians’ hearts. the jov of a warming sunshine to children of the sun. fairly out of a winter ice- e e - FACE THO MONTES Started (With Little Pimples, At Night Would Burn, Used Cuti- cura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment.

The joy was shown in their dark eves, it glistened on their white teeth and it gleaned on the for- est of their lances, They were free of swaths, the cloth- ing which the king-emperor had sup- plied to them to keep out the Flanders cold. Sunshine had oiled their mus- cles under their bronzed skins. Broad- way and Kansas in dog-days would not be too hot for them. _These places would be something like India and home. And white “'Sahibs” said two more months—July and August— which were warmer still, were com- ing. Those who survived the trench war- fare were going to show how well they kept themselves through the winter. practically they were going to show how well they had kept their horses amid the mud and slush. As with the . Cossack, praise their horses and you praise them. Contrast the picturesqueness, if you please, were in the trot past of these Easterns, a bit out of Durban and Delhi in an obscure corner of northern France, as they were reviewed by this glant, fair-haired king, with drooping straw cojored mustache giving him a Viking air. Groups of Indian officers in the watching crowd rubbed elbows with French peasants. The French of dif- ferent regiments, after a greefing, re- ferred to some comrade who had fall- en since they last met. Then the war and its horrors were forgotton in the British love of sport. An Indian, emitting a fierce yell, zal- lopped down the field and impaled a small wooden peg, stuck in the ground, on his lance. “Bravo!”, called the officers as he rushed by at top speed. Another In- dian tried the same thing and_failed. “Too bad! heard, but there were more “Bravos” than “too bads”, spok- en in the quiet way the British ex- press their emotions. These officers were in India in spirit rather than in France. Theyv were the leaders who had made soldiers out of the human clay of the East and had held them fast in the face of German shells as a part of the working of that extensive plant called the British em- ire. i ‘When it came to demonstrativeness the Frengh were real fans. Grand- father, mother and children were hav- ing the time of their lives. It beat the movies in town and there was nothing to pay either. They liked the way the Indians yelled. That made them seem like real, sure-enough In- dians. A British cavalryman would only pick up a peg. He would not vell. As four wild looking riders came tearing down the fleld abreast, their white teeth gleaming as they screamed their challenges, picked up four of those bits of wood at the same in- stant and waved their lance-heads aloft, a token of their success, to the king, one old Frenchman sa “I wish it had been four Germans they had speared in a charge’ It was a great day for the hard- working French peasantry when they could see both the hard-working king of the Belgians and an Indian gym- kana. And the roar kept coming from that distant section of the horizon where the steady hail of shells was eating its way into the German trenches with the mechanical routine of steam shovels.cutting into the side of a hill.
