CANAL AND THE NAVY. Not that it could be in any way felt the Panama canal was falling to measure up to its requirements, be- Gespite the handicaps which it has experienced as the result of the unstable condition of Gaillard cut it had demonstrated already the great importance it is now and will contir¥te to be in the faturs, but chiefly that it showed it can at the present time give the help that has been anticipated in furnishing greater facilities for the navy of this country was the passage of the three large warships during the past week the cause for more than or- dinary attentlon. It indicates that the waterway is not oniy open for commerce but that when ocoasion requires it is able to take care of whatever vessels of the navy that are required for defense purposes on elther coast. In comparison with the long trip around South America this means much. It increases the im- portance of the existing navy and even though the sides of the canal at that one point can be expected to glve trou- ble for some time to come, it is not likely to be of long duration In view of the means and force which are held in readiness to overcome it. In view of other delays which have been caused after plans for sending certain vessels of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific had been perfected, it is gratifying that it was not necessary to again postpone such a trip, especially since every such postponement was disconcerting in view of the great ex- position which had been arranged to celebrate the opening. Could not the navy have utilized the canal in send- ing representative vessels to the fair, it would have been humiliating, to say the least. EDITORIAL NOTES. No one ever finds the automobile speed laws being'broken bn poor roads. Stmultaneous with the coming of the hot weather there has been marked activity in the swat the fiy campaign. That woman who had admitted sell- ing her husband for $500 was keen enough to take advantage of war prices. Russia bas placed a big order for rails in this country. Is it possible that it needs more facilities for its re- treat? The man on the corner says: Juds- ing by the average tramp the country must be suffering from an unbreakable drought. The Haytian rebets were detented for lack of ammunition which ought to mean a protest to this country against the sale to other belligerents, The young men who afe wearing the Little Lord Fauntleroy collars are those who a short time ago were wear- ing loud colored blankets for coats. ——— Athletes continue to break but when cholera jumps from 77 to 808 cases in four days in Austria it promises to go unbeaten for a while.

It is only that I have in a way been taking notes lately, that's all. “The first few who came to our house were a joy because we really did think it fun to run all over town and show off our city, especially when it was such splendidly cool weather. Of course, Dot never was on time for anything and this peculiarity was a little annoying, but we got used to standing around walting for ber and being late to everything and missimg and things like that. I finally learned wisdom and told her to be ready a good half hour before we really expected to start, and - the 'echeme workea well until she got the idea that We Were getting to things too early, When she fell back into her evil ways. “Nothing,” said the hostess, “is more ying.” am “So I thought at the time, but I learned better,” laughed the caller. “Probably 1 became more critical as 1 grew more tired of sightseeing and golng to the shows. When Mame came I thought I should scream at her habit of running things. She made all the plans, directed all the tramping around, announced the hours at which we should be at certain places and chose what plays and what people she wanted to see. She had loads of shop- ping to do and she had it all arranged just when, where and how it should be done. 1 felt like a cipher and had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't the visitor instead of the hostess. “Then there was Lucy,” the caller went on, “She borrowed everything I owned—stamps, scissors, gloves, hat- pins, handkerchiefs, rubbers and good- ness knows what else, She went away owing me $3.40 and carried off two pairs of white gloves besides.” “Sounds like kleptomania.” “Tt wasn't. Lucy was merely forget- ful. Alice was a good deal like her. She didn’t stop to think and her hus- band was one of the worst trained men I ever saw. They never closed anything and the dresser drawers were always gaping open to match _the closet door and the trunk Hd. They took naps with their shoes on, lying on clean, new spread or the best white hlankets, and the room was strewn with matches and cigar ashes. “After them came Adele and her lit- tle boy.

She strewed our books all over the house ‘because she couldn’t make up her mind as to what she wanted to read and we ate all day because she: couldn't decide whether she wanted anything at all. Oh, dear, it was awfull” “You were a little your friends, weren't you?" “Not a bit of it!” declared the caller quickly. “They were all the most de- lightful people to meet socially- that you ever knew. All of them were of fine stock and some of them are well known in literary or business lines. My experience shows that it takes a nearly perfect person to make & visitor. 1 have thought the thi ang I can see that it is Teally a out. them to be absolutely comfortable vis- itors. They mever know whereln they have done it wrong and that's what makes me uneasy. I'm never going to visit enother soul. I'm golng to a hotel every time, for who knows what it not be doing to upset things it I visited?"—Chicago News. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Lublin— “The region where the Poland by the first determined stand is of the nature of an elevated plateau, scoured here and there deeply by rivers, and heavily wooded with forests of oak, beech and pine. In belts, the land is severely torn, @ complex of hill and revine. Over much of its area, it is thinly populated, and presents stretches of wild, unkept, trackless forest and thicket. There is plenty of natural cover for armies operating there. “Lublin is the southeasternmost gov- ernment of Russian Poland. It is con- tained, east and west, between -the rivers’ Bug and Vistule. The Bug divides Lublin from the Russian government of Volhynia, while _the River Vistul: es it from the Rus- sian Pol ent of Radom Galicla bounds it upon the south, and the government of Siedlce upon the north. Thus, the war reports that announced the intended withdrawal of the Russians to the line of the Bug, were looking forward to the abandon- ment of almost all of Russian Poland. The Bug River flows in a wide area to the northeast and morth of Warsaw, joining the Vistula River mear the powerful ~ Russian fortress, Novo Georglevsk, about ‘miles - northwest of the Polish metropolis. “The government has an area of 6,500 square miles, and a population estimated at about 1,400,000, It is @ rolling plain, interrupted with knots and belts of hills. Jn the northern part, where the Lublin-Kholm way, of strategic importance, the ‘government, on its way between Warsaw and Kiev, is the densest for- est growth. Als, in the - northern nelghborhood is the city of Lublin, the than “Queequaconnissiqueenk Creek.” And yet Milford Brook has achieved nothing like the distinction of that Massachusetts pond which is known as Chargoggagogmanchauggagog- chabunagungaumaugg. Probably the residents medr both bodies of water share the common American opinion that Przemysl is a queer and difficult name.—Providence Bulletin. Arbitration of the difficulties in Bridgeport is the easy way out and the practical way out, if the leaders of labor there can be induced to see it. The other way is to force compliance on the part of the employers if it can be done and temporarily secure their point, only later to find that their vic- tory was a boomerang, which had re- turned to plague them. It is not mec- essary just at present to discuss the claim that the strike at this particu lar munition plant has been gineered by German agents. the it is better to assume that the trouble 1s due to the desire on the part of the labor Jeaders to share in the harvest that they assume is to_be reaped by the corporations holding contracts with the nations at war—Ansonia Seatinel. The action of Major Slocum and the Foot Guard in regularly enlisting the Foot Guards's excellent band, render- ing it liable to military duty, at least to the extent that any part of the Foot Guard is liable to military duty, 2nd apparently thus preventing & re- currence of the unfortunate episode of Memorial day, is gratifying. More gratitying is the band’s willingness to accept the new conditions, although obviously imposed for the express pur- pose of preventing future interference by labor union regulations with the courses of the state’s picturesque parade organization. The band’s re- fusal to participate in the Memorial day parade was almost distressing. It Wwas not so much that its music was miesed as it was that its absence o reveal determination on the part of labor's directing minds to exalt and adhere to their financial purposes oven though it 4 disrespect and disregard for the men Wwho in this union sup; e, i all ey hoped iy be-—tiurttors an ey d to =] lord Times. ——— “The Automobile Club of Bridgeport ‘hae scored a& notable improvement with its “silent traffic cops,” as the lantern decked traffi¢ standards are call at to ‘the right” teaches motorists turn tting led. corners, their legend | and third manufacturing town of Russtan Poland. The Vistula, the Bug, the ‘Wieprz, San, Tanev Rivers drain the district. A treacherous region of lakes and marshes and black quicksands oc- curs in the east, reaching into Galicia. A marshy lowland also extends be- tween the Vistula and the Wieprz. “Heavy, black earth of rich fertility, is found in parts of the government, and this is mostly under careful cul- tivation. Rye, oats, wheat, barley and potatoes are the principal crops. A £00d deal of the Lublin grain harvest is exported. Flax, hemp and beet root are cultivated on the larger estates, and stock raising is carried on. The sugar beets are worked for their pro- duct in mills within the government: epirits, flour, leather, and jumber wre other of its manufactured products. There are some horse farms in th district, whose animals have & Euro pean reputation.

Belgians Going to England. Scarcely a boat leaves Holland for Bngland these days without its contin- gent of Belgians of military age who have evaded the registration of all male Belgian capable of bearing arms now required by the German author- ities in Belgium. Many of them are on their way to England to work in the munitions factories, while those who at the beginning of the war were called to the colors and om account of the speed with which the invasion of Belgium was accomplished were un- able to respond to the call, are en route to join the Beigian army in Flanders, Among the former there are various groups wearing bits of colored tape in their buttonholes or pinned to their clothing, some P! some yellow, by of the British munitions firms who are to employ them may recognize their men, or their women, as the case may be—for many of these future workers in the manufacture of armament are women.
