When President Wilson got where he needed loyalty and sympathetic counsel from his secretary of state he did not get it; and now that he is preparing a bill to promote national defense In view of a menacing peril he finds that the chairmam of the committee on military affairs is against him, and a large.force of Bry- anized democrats.

The Kings of France dis- puted the possession of the town with the Counts of Flanders. Conde cap- tured Dunkirk in 1646 for his master, [ Bouls XIV, and the Spaniards took the place again in 1652. Austria held it. “The Frenchmen, the Anglo-Saxon the Dutchman and the German in. cluded the dune country in which Dun- kirk lay among their prominent as- pirations. The commerclal end mil- itary value of Antwerp and Rotterdam were then unguessed. Dunkirk was geographically, commercially and po- litically central, a commercial promi. and a naval advantage to the power holding it. In 1658 Marshal Turenne beat the Spaniards here, and with him brought 8,000 of Cromwell's Ironsides. The battle of the Dunes was almost as red and violent as are the relentless struggles now going on amid the gray wastes and sandy ridges. “The port was ceded to England. land the English strengthened it and built a citadel here. Louis XIV pur- chased it for France from the im poverished Charles II, paying about $1,000,000. In the struggles, which fol- lowed, between France and England, Dunkirk became the center of a war o peta sers o English trade, work- ing such significant damage upon the Island Kingdom, that the English in- sisted upon the destruction of _the harbor and fortifications as part of the terms of the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, The English repeated this demand at the Peace of Paris in 1753.

The coal lands of Nord and Pas-de-Calals, the rich ag- ricultural districts of ¥landers and and -the humming factory towns of Lille, Roubaix, Valenclennes, Armentleres and Tourcolng _poured their surpluses into this city in times of peace. It did an annual import and export: trade to the value of $150,000,- 000, shipping sugar, coal, cereals, wool, forage, cement, textlles and iron man- ufactures, phosphates, tools, machin- ery and vegetables. It had growing textile and steel industries.

Such a man never fails to look after the interests of his faith- ful horse. We think, however, that one Manchester man is likely fo get his name on the honor roll of the “Kind to the animal legion” for he has done. In order to abate the fly nujsance, he has pasted sticky fiy pa- per all about his barn and horse stalls. He says the fly paper has made a marked decrease in the number of flies about the ‘place.—Manchester Herald. No one in Connecticut will profess to grieve because the stern hand of Jjustice has cut off the life of Bernard Montvid in the state prison at Weth- ersfield in accordance with the judg- ment of a jury of his peers. Montvid deserved to die as an accomplice, if not the principal, in one of the most cold blooded murders in Connecticut history. He has paid with his life for the deliberate and malicious shedding of human blood. It would be hypocrisy to say that his death was not a distinct gain for the commonwealth, whose laws bhe violated and whose justice he defied—Ansonia Sentinel. After carrying a tumor about with him since his days in slavery before the Civil war, old Jack Harris, a col- ored man in Portland, has undergone an operation for its removal and at last accounts it promised to be suc- cessful in spite of the burden of 90 years borne by th® old gentleman.

Loss of Canadian Actillery. Canadian artillery lost more men at Ypres than any other artillery division has so far lost during the war. The 350, which 1s very heavy when it is remembered that most of the time only the actual gun crews, amounting to about 120. per brigade, were under fire, the remainder being far to the rear with the horses. Tbe First Artillery Brigade, for instance, (commanded by eut . Morrison, D. 8. O., of Ot- tawa), lost 82 at Ypres, chiefly gun- ners, out of 120, while at Neuve Cha- pelle, the heaviest loss in any single British battery was 12 ang the total the great French industrial towns back | “Without a dissenting voice, Wash- ington's patriotic hotel keepers are calling loudly for an extra session of congress,” says the New York Herald.
