It was written for the purpose of putting a check on the effort then underwmy in congress to put through the single term pledge of the democratic party, then before the national body in the shape of a joint resolution, and it was successful. Mr. Wilson set forth his views in mo uncertein terms in spite of the plank in the platform adopted at the Baltimore convention for which the man he afterwards named as his sec- retary of state was responsible. He declared that four years is too long.| a term for an unpopular president and it is too short for one who wins the confidence of the people. They ought to be, in his opinion, free to reelect @ president after four years of sat- isfactory service, and the fear of the people that the president will use his power illicitly to force his renomina- tion and reelection or that of another candidate of his choice would accord- Ing to his ideas be overcome by the people making the nominations di- rectly. Even though this shows the presi- dent’s attitude before he took office as being opposed to the platform pro- vision, the fact that Bryan is now persona non grata with the admin- istration makes it easler to reconcile the position taken long ago with that of today which shows him a candidate for reelection, even though the presi- dential primary plan has been side- tracked. SITUATION IN MESOPOTAMIA. Because of the conflicting reports which have been given out by the re- spective sides concerning the opera- tions In Mesopotamia it is difficult to form a correct opinion of the condi- tions which actually prevail there. That has been a theater of the war where the British underestimated the strength of the enemy. From early British accounts of the progress of the expeditionary force it was only a gquestion of days when the city of Bagdad would be captured, but they regkoned without due consideration for the_enemy which appeared in subh numbers that there were terrific loss- s at the battle of Ctesiphon and a retréat was immediately begun to Kut- el-Amara, at which point there have since been powerful attacks made; by the Turks, who were driven off bnly after fierce fighting. That the Turks are on the offensive In that reglon is thus evident, but it is difficult to reconcile the statements which are coming from the respective sides relative to the fighting which has been engaged in there more re- cently. According to the Turks the British force at Kut-el-Amara have been cut off, while in parliament the announcement is made that the Turks have been defeated and are belng pur- sued. There 18 some discrepancy here if reference is made to the same oper- ations, while if the reports concern dif- ferent points and different attacks it is quite evident that the British forces at Kut-el-Amara have not. received the reinforcements of which they are 50 much in need though the success- tul attack may indicate a relief force on the way. Whatever the situation in Mesopotamia it is quite evident that the British army in that locality has encountered greater opposition than anticipated, regardless of reports. EDITORIAL NOTES. As a cause of nightmare, rarebit must play second fiddle to horse steak in the metropolis. Those who consider the grip a joke change their minds as soon as they get gcquainted with it. If, as claimed, the kaiser is not as sick as reported, the chances are that he s making up for a lot of lost sleep. It n?y seem a -little strange, but there is nothing unseasonable in the announcement that @ cold wave is on the way. Inasmuch as the allies have been gotten off the Gallipoll peninsuld the Sick Man of Europe appears to be on the mend. With the crowning of the emperor of China next month it is to be hoped the new government will last as long as the ceremony. It as claimed the throne of Servia is two kitchen chairs, it indicates that part of the home where many a mon- arch holds forth. It is a hard and' persistent fight which the Germans are making for Champagne, when it was supposed they liked something else better. ‘The man on the corner says: If & fellow did really ‘want but little here below there would be those who would accuse him of having no ambition.

I tell you this has got to stol ang I will speak to your father an see what he can-do about it But Mr. Emerson, wrapped up in his business, could not take the time to reprimand his daughter, and things ‘went from bad to worse. The Em ery Club grew to be too dull and tire- some for Grace, so she withdrew and joined the Castle Club, devoting their time to dancing. Dance, dance, dance, that was the only toplc of con versation at all times. School was & side issue now, and her marks began to show it. Mrs. Emerson was certain- ly disappointed and discouraged to think that all her hopes and aspira- tions for her girl were to be shattered by such foolishness, and finally, re- celving no advice or encouragement from her husband, she carried her trouble to her next door neighbor, Mrs, Duncan, who had always been her confidante and adviser. “Sakés alive!” that worthy person 'exclaimed, when Mother Emerson, with many sighs and sobs, had un- burdened her heart, “and is that all that is bothering you, my dear? Now don’t lose any more sleep on account of Grace, because I can easily think up a plan that will work wonders, and you will soon have your eensible little girl back again” And the two heads bobbed together, while the scheme was outlined and discussed. The next morning Grace was very much surprised and alarmed, when upon coming down to breakfast, she found her mother waltzing wildly about the room: to and fro she gilded, bearing the dishes from the pantry to the table, and pivoting, turned to- wards the stove, as she gayly hummed one of the popular airs. “Don’t be frightened, child! I am just trying to make sure of one of the steps we learned yesterday at dancing ass. Didn’t you know 1 had joined? No? Well, hereafter I attend the same one you do, S0 We can go together. My, but we will have a nice’ time! and she continued to whirl about, now and then hestitating and bowing loW to_the floor. Grace was too amazed to say & word. Could this be her own mother. acting in such a ridiculous manner? “Run along to_ school now,” Mrs. Emerson said, after Grace had eaten her breakfast in silent wonderment, “atid after lunch I will be ready to go_to dancing class with you.” Could she really mean if, wondered Grace. She felt sure that she would be ashamed to see her mother among 50 many young girls. What could she do to make her change her mind? And i LETTERS TO THE EDITO) Modern Science and the Death Rate. Mr. Editor: We do not have to go back half a century with Observer to show that the death rate has been and is being decreased by modern science. Here are some figures from the United States Mortality statistics, issued in 1915 by the Bureau of the Census, for the year 1913, The number of deaths in the regis- tration area, which includes two thirds (65.1 per cent. to be exact) of the total estimated population of the continental United States was 13.9 in 1912 and 14.1 in 1913, per 1,000. In 1880 the rate was 19.8 per 1,000, in 1900, 17.8, in, 1910, 15 per thousand. The figures of the last two years are the lowest recorded. In England and Wales in 1900 the deatl: rate was 13.2 per 1000. In 1912 it was 13.3. In the German empire it was 221 per 1000 in 1900, in 1911 it was 17.3. (It is greater now, but medical sclence isn't to blame.) In the same 12 years France dropped in death rate frcm 219 to 17.5 per 1000, Ttaly from 23.8 to 18.2, Austria from 254 to 205. Did Observer say the world had been standing still, for fifty years Here are some figures on the “germ” diseases from this same invaifable and highly up-to-date report. In 1900, typhoid fever in the United States killed 35.9 people out bf every 100,000. The rate in 1918 was 17.9. Tubercu- losis, all forms, dropped from 2019 to 147.6 per 100,000. Preumonia _has come down in’ the dozen vears from 180.5 to 132.4. Diphtheria from 43.3 to 188. These “germs” are known and “spotted.” - Measles killed 12.5 people per 150,- 00 in 1900, and 128 in 1918. Why? No one has found the cause, and from the cause, means of prevention. Can- cer went ip from 63 per 100,000 in 1900 to 789 in 1913. Why? Because the doctors can dlagnose cancer to- day where they didn't have the knowledge and the means 50 years ago. And when the cause of malig- nant growth is once certain and sure, Observer will see that drop. It's bound to come. About vaccination. The German Imperial Health Reports show that from 1901-1810, in the 64,000,000 Ger- man population, there were 380 deaths from small-pox. Back in 1870-71, be- fore the days of public and sclentific aseptic vaccination, the death rate in Dresden was 32.68 per 10,000; in Ber- lin 68.26; in Hamburg 107.5 per 10,-. 000. ©Of 82,766,619 German school children vaccinated, 115 dled, a rate of 3.5 per miilion, In the Philippines, under Spanish rule, the mortality from small-pox . was about 6,000 a year.

It is only now that I see how silly I have been to give so much of my time and thought to It. I guess I will start and cut out that waist you spoke of the other day, and now I will help you with the dinner.’ “Oh, dear!” and Mrs. Emerson look- ed sq. disappointed, “now I can’t go if you do, mot, for I would neyer face that crowd of critics alone. I suppose 1 am too old, anyway, so I will not think about it any more.” And when Grace turned her back Mother Emerson hugged herself with joy and delight, as she rolled the car- pet back Into place; for she knew that the cure had been complete.— ‘Boston Post. Stories of the War Krivolak ‘the French Headquarters. Krivolak, Servia, is the debarkation point of the French armies in the field in the Balkan campaign—as a village, it is small and unclean, with more the character of a Turkish or a Bulgarian than a Serblan There are no accomodations for any- body. The railway station, chimney knocked down by a Dulgar- | ian shell, is the most imposing bufld- {ing. To'the east is_the Vardar, still swollen with rains, shifting, unceértain, narrow, deep. To the north, ~where the Vardar bends in a westerly direc- tion, is;what the French call “The English bridge’—a pontoons structure for the building of which the British army lent the men and the materials. To the southeast is a hill, command- ing as an artillery position every nook and corner of the curve of the river. To the north beyond the Vardar is the key of the whole French position— the mountain of Kara Hodzall. Strong as the point is naturally— and the French Balkan campaign so far has confined itself to the tactics of occupying and holding If possible the maximum number of strong natur- al positions—it is open to hostile bom- bardment from the hills on the oppo- sito shore of the river. .A few mo- ments ago half a dozen large calibre shells fell in the river near the Eng- lish bridge. Just mow one has fallen on the hillside to the southeast of the station. Constantly the bridge, the station and the railroad are the mark of Bulgarian long range artillery. But the mark is too distant. The Bulgar~ fan artillery fire generally is excel- lent, but it lacks the scientific accu- racy of the French, and as yet the Bulgars have no aeroplanes to verify thler fire, as the French have. So Krivolak remains unharmed. Shortly | the hills to the east are to be cleaned of their batteries. Then Krivolak will be tranquil. The journey from Saloniki to Kriv- olak, by the single track _railroad seems interminable. Fifteen hours to do seventy-five miles. The French complain bitterly that the delay is in the Greek end of the line. Already | Freneh engineers are double-tracking the railroad from the Greek-Serbian frontler, north. There are no fixed train lines. Ev- erything is subserviated to the trans- port of troops, munitions, supplies. On the return journey, it is the transport of the wounded,—of armies needing repair, of empty rolling stock, of which' there is too little. There is but one passenger coach on the _train, crowded with officers charged with the communications of the various armies engaged—for the telegraph wires are also uncertain—with sani- tary officers, medical officers, com- missary staff and a few civilians, bound for Greek villiges between Sa- loniki and the frontier. The station at Salonikl is a military one, a couple of miles from the town, in the midst of flelds flowering with the tents of the British, finally beginning to move towards the front. The train is long—all freight cars save the one reserved for the mere distinguished. But almost all of the freight cars have their human load as well. The men sleep on straw on the floor throughout the wearisome jour- ney. At Strumitsa station a Serblan offi- cer comes quietly down the corridor. “All lights out”, he ordered, ‘“From here on the raliway is within range of the enemy. They generally drop a few at passing trains if they see them.” The order seems superfluous in view of the that the car s improvided with lighting system— or at least any that works. But a few men have provided themselves with candles and it is these that must be extinguished. Slowly the train approaches kilo- meter 88 where the rallway crosses the Vardar to the side of the Bulgar- ians. The waa destroyed three years ago in the last Balkan wars— and has not been properly rebullt since. The train creeps across it. The swirling waters of the Vardar are white in the moonlight.

The leglons that subdued the chaos of the Grecian world and_first brought Rome into contact with the Slave passed through Dyrrachium. “Durazzo ,lles upon the Adriatic, across from- the Itallan port of Bari, and 50 miles south from the Albanian capital, Scutari, or, as the natives call it, Scodra.

Along the coast, around the town, are the dismal marshes ‘that made it an ai- most impregnable point for defense in early Roman times. The harbor has slowly silted up. Two millenniums of Albanian misfortune are reflected in the present desolation of the port. “Epidamnus, as Durazzo was called in its infancy, was founded by a joint colony of Corcyreans and Corinthians in the Tth century B.
