Germany was in other words expect- ing the British to take their word that no such supplies weuld be used for other than the civilians, but when it came to applying the same tactics to suppliss destined for British territory, only a month after the war opened, it was impossible to look at the situation in the same light. Germany's prize court therefore justifies the British action against which it profested so loudly, and it even went so far as to destroy a neutral ship, as well as the cargo. MARYLAND VS. TEXAS JUSTICE. The difference ‘in the manner of ad- ministering justice by certain states of the unfon is well iilustrated by ex- amples which have recently occurred In communities in Maryland and Tex- as. In the former state a young eolored man charged with a serious offense, though not murder, was lodged in a lockup and application was made for the convening of the grand jury for a quick trial. The crime was such as to arouso indignation and the possibil- ity of mob violence was not overlook- ed, with the result that the, prisoner was taken to a jail, where he would be safe. While shooting on sight was talk- ed there was mo move to put it into operation, it being recognized that the law of the state siiould be upheld, and the accused wil t the trial and sentence by law, to which he is en- titled. Not 80 in Texas. There two Ne- groes charged with murdering a dep- uty sherift were brought into a city, one dead and the other alive. The mob insisted that they be burned at the stake on the public @guare. Others insisted that the law be respected, but a compromise was finally reached whereby the mob agreed that thelr desires would not be carried out in the center of the city, but in the out- skirts. The Negroes were burned at the stake, a fact which is a reproach to any community which classes itself as civilized. The Maryland town is to be com- mended. for its display of control and the activity of its authorjties in up- holding the law, while the Texas city only brings discredit upon itself by its atrocities. POOR ZEPPELIN SHOWING. There can be no question but what the war in Burope has shown the aero- plane and the zeppelin to be of tre- mendous value in military and naval operations. Thers have been numer- ous demonstrations of the high type of service which they are capable of ren- dering and each has proved an import- ant factor to be reckoned with, but the aeroplane has in many instances shown its /superiority. The report which h: been made upon the zeppelin method of warfare to the first lord of the British admiral- ty shows nothing to its credit, when it is found upon the investigation of the series of raids which have been made upon England that not a British soldier or sailor has been killed or wounded, but that during the first year of the war such attacks resulted in the death of 71 civilian adults and 18 children, while 189 civilian adults and 31 children were injured. Thus it is indicated as far'as any military ad- vantage was gained the zeppelin raids might just as well not have been made. ven if the efforts of those in charge of such raids was to strike at military posts or fortified towns, the lack of accuracy s fully disclosed, and the same holds good to a large extent con- cerning the aeroplane, but the ease with which it can be handled, the small target which it offers and the low cost all stand out in its favor as the better engine of war. The same reasons appiy when they are compared for scouting purposes. EDITORIAL NOTES.

That is, Elsie and Nellie went _on to buy paper napkins and Mrs. White had to order groceries, but we got over to the interurban at ten minutes to 9.

She's movea out for the mobilization of gold. “We are to Oak Park, you know, but she still belongs to the club. So we phoned her—and what do you think? ‘Are you really going? says she. ‘It looks like rain out here and I haven’t made my sandwiches or anything!" So we told her never mind, but to hurry up and we'd wait—and two couldn’t come so that made it all right about the four dozen sandwiches she was to bring.’ “Two dozen for each of you?” gasped her mother. “Well, we were going to have lunch ind_ supper both,” said her daughter, “and you do get awfully hungry on picnics. Besides, the sandwiches were most all we had planned for—we didn’t bave anything else but Bertha's and my salad and some pickles and candy and deviled eggs and cake and fruit and cookies. Anyhow, we couldn’t have taken that car, for it really left at 9. There was a speck over one zero on the time card and that made it look like ‘when Harrlet got there we had missed another car and the mext one wasn't till 11. So we didn't go to St. Charles, but went to Elgin. And it rained and we couldn’t get off and pick flowers or anything. We were just starved when we got there and it Wwas stuffy in the station and Elsie and Jane, who had been there before, said they knew a lovely park where we could eat our lunch, So we started, First we stopped and got a soda. It's best to drink sodas instead of water because you might get typhold, you know. I guess Elsie and Jane must have been to Some other town and thought it was Elgin, because we walked miles looking for the park and Mrs. White said, ‘Girls! This is really annoying!’ “Well, finally we got to a park and had everything spread out—and it turned out to be somebody's yvard, so we had to pack things up and walk some more and finally we found a tree in a vacant lot. It wasn't raining at all then and we were mad because we hadn't got away and gone to the Fox river as we had intended. Then we had another soda and somebody won- dered whether we could go through the watch works, So we went back to the rallway station to ask.” “Why* not direct to the watch fac- tory " ‘“Why, I don't know,” said the young person.

It was ad- vertised in wonderful posters, but when ‘we got there all we could do was ride on the merry-go-round, because noth- ing else was running. : “Then we had another soda and it was most supper time and we went on to Aurora and ate supper in the station there because it had started to rain What Will Begeme of Poland. Mr. Editor: With the news of the day bringing to our attention the Ger- man occupation of Poiand, the ques- tion immediately arises as to what is to be done with Polund after the war. True, the warring nations have been most liberal with their promises of Polish independence, but will they keep them? Russia has promised Poland self government and almost absolute in- dependence. ~ Germany and Austria have offered to make it 2 separate kingdom and have even mentioned the name of an Austrian archduke as a candidate for the throme. But will Poland want an Austrian king? We all know the success that the German Prince William of Weld had at gov- erning, when the powers placed him on the throne of the newly created state of Albania after the Balkan wars. Poland is playing the most inter- esting part in the European struggle. With_great armies pushing backward and forward over the country, its light must be worse than that of elgium. Polish people all over the world are hoping and waiting for a reunited country. History shows us that Po- land was at one time one of the lead- ing countries of Europe. We are re- minded that 1t acted as the champion of Christendom at the time the Turk had brought his armies up into Au: tria and to_the very walls of Vienna, when the Poles under John Sobleski marched to the relief of the city, rout- ed the Turks and saved Burope from an era of Mohammedan rule. The partition of Poland by the three pow- ers, Austria, Prussia and Russia was one of the greatest tragedies in his- ory., The end of the war will no doubt show a great change in the boundary lines of the countries of the continent, but will it show a Poland reunited and rehablitated, in her rightful posi- tion among the nations of Europe?

Monsieur Ribot is only ome month older than Monsieur Colin, of the Rue des Tours, who was 73 this spring. Madame Colin s0 wrote on the slip she delivered -in the Bank of France with a hundred francs of gold to be ex- changed for national defense bonds. “I had saved it to make a present to Monsieur Colin on cur golden wedding day,” she added, “but we decided that we ‘could both get more pleasure and satisfaction out of that gold by turn- ing it over as a sort of homage to Monsieur Ribot.” Hundreds of school children will as- sociate the name of the venerable min- ister with their firt visit to that mys- terlous and awe inspiring institution, always so impressively guarded by the handsomely uniformed republican guards. Their teachers lift them up to the teller's window where gold is ex- changed, and they are generally dis. appeinted not to see the patriarchal head of “Monsieur Ribot” somewhere behind the counter. One woman shoved a pile of coins amounting to 350 francs through the teller's window at the Bank of with the concise explanation Monsieur Ribot.” She turned to go away without her bank bills and had to be pursuaded that Monsieur Ribot was not seeking gold without giving the equivalent in exchange. A man who had spent years col- lecting hundred-franc gold pieces, and had gotten together a hundred of con- secutive dates, including the rarest effigies, brought it to the bank. Worth as a collection five times as much, he went away satisfled with 10,000 francs in bank notes.
