Wednesday, 19, 1916, | e “Where are you golng?’ I asked Cousin Fannle yesterday afternoon when I saw that she was dressed for the street. “To. the stores. I'm going t buy my winter coat,” she replied. “On, how jolly! Il go with you,” salg L ‘Ml'w'ufi,am‘t myself v I shall take & Wm“&.mhn-wcmu- lect one, * ‘s sweet of you.” Cousin Fanny touched ‘thoughtful- sppenied fonthed I3y il me” into_extra: know that need something onsense, you som coming and stylish I'm going to see that you get,” laughed, and we started off gayly. At first Cousin Fanny insisted upen looking at painfully utilitarian ments, but I told her frankly that made her look old and worn and add- ed that with her youthful figure ehe was doing herself ‘an injustice. “Just try on that chic velvet coat sels for defense purposes and it must bs evident to that country that it lies within their own control as to whether guns are ever turned upon the boats. Austria if it is willing to the matter straight in the face| must realize that such a protest would be in line with the demand which it recently madé upon Fngland that the Austrian women and children taking Ppassage on the British ships through the Mediterranean be guaranteed safe conduct, when as a matter of fact the only danger which threatened them is the manner in which the Austrian submarines are operated.

Quick was the disposition that was made in Washington of the proposal of Senator. Clarke that freedom be granted to the Filipinos in two years. It was a suggestion thoroughly in line with those advanced by certain indi- viduals who believe that the islands should be tossed overboard to look after themselves without any regard to the obligations which rest upon this country, hut. it was destined to short life. It was a priposition tha: the administration, which - has been urging the: Jones bill could ‘neve- en- dorse because- it fs thoroughly under- stood that the people of those islands while they are making excellent pro- eress under the guidance.of this na- ton are not in a position to take care of themselves, will not be in two vears and the chances are that it will be a decade or ‘two before such a ‘thing ought to be considered. Because the Filipinos are learning some of the essentials of succsssful Fovernment and are sfadually bang taught the principles of seif control it is not to be supposed that the brief experience they have had along this line is sufficient to equip them for self eovernment. It has been possible to witness the horrible mess which has been made by nations which have had much longer experience in self-gov- ernment and those examples are enough to discourage even the thouzht of turning the Filininos loose to be- come the prey of greedy natlons and to become the breeding ground of oon- stant revolutlon, The Philippines should and will get their freedlom when the right time. comes, but it would be the rankest folly to attempt anything of the kind with the islands in their present ~cn- dition: .t DITORIAL NOTES.

I found a beautiful new pair of very light pearl colored ones lying beside an evening dress. I supposed she had had been trying the shade with the gray chiffon. 1.thought . they would do just as well as white for me, so I took them instead of rummaging through her chiffonier for others, which would have been rather a-lib- erty with even such a close friend and relative as Betty. When I came home from the thea- ter T was surprised to find mother up reading. “Why, dearle, what late hours you're keeping,” I said as I stole into the library and kissed her lightly on the forehead. . She looked up with a smile and then her face clouded. “T remained up purposely, Lucile, to have a quiet talk with you,” she began rather ominously. I think that you ought—oh, Luctle, how could you wear Fannie's ‘coat Defore she had ever worn it herself?” she glanced at me reproachfully, but did not give me time to answer. “When Fannie and I came back from the settlement com- mittee meeting we went to right after dinner, she started to show her new coat to your father, but it was gome. SHe thought that some one must have got into the house and taken it, but I felt sure you had borrowed it.” “Well, surely Cousin Fannie, who is adways’ so generous, wouldn't object, would she?

Portsmouth- Boulogne is the most direct line of | communication between the great Brl- tish arsenal and the firing Hne through Flanders, Artois, Picardy and Cham- pagne. The River Liano divides the town, and the improvements at its mouth provide, excellent barbors for the unusual stress of shipping that the war has brought about. “Boulogne has always had more or less close relations ~with England, friendly and unfriendly. It has_even beén suggested that it was the Portus Itius where Julius Caesar assembled his fleet., In modern times, Boulogne has been the Englishman's favorite way into France, and, before the war, the passengers from Tolkstone to Boulogne total about 300,000 annually. The trans-Atlantic liners of the Ham- burg-American and the Holland-Amer- ican companies, also, made Boulogne a calling point. English business inter- ests in France were largely represent- ed at this port, and the English col- ony at the outbreak of the war num- bered more than 1,500. It has long been sald that Boulogne is the.most English city on the continent, and, be- fore the war was many monthe old, the English language and English ways became the accepted currency of the place. “In 1804, Napoleon I selected Bou- logne as the starting point for an in- vasion of Bngland. He assembled an army of 180,000 men and a vast assort- ment 8f war-stores here for this pur- pose. The invincible general was so certain that England was fated to fall before his genius that he had coins struck with which to pay his_soldier on the other side of the Channel and inscribed them ‘minted in London. He also, began a column of victory here to commemorate the conquest about to be realized of his most troublesome opponent. Marshals Soult, Ney, Da- voust and Victor were to iead the b vaders. The - harbors of Boulogn were completely hiden under the hul of the many vessels, upon which the expedition was to be transported. A flotilla of 2413 craft of all sizes had been gathered at the port. Preparations for the invasion were admirably made, and the troops wait- ed only for the coming of the pro- tecting French fleets from Antwerp, Brest, Cadiz, and the harbors of the Mediterranean to convey them to the island battlefields. The units of these fleets had been in the course of con- struction for several years for the ex- prese purpose of aiding in the decision against England; for the Little Cor- poral, willing to divide the world with Alexander of Ru knew from the beginning that his interests and those of Britain could never be reconciled. The French fleets never assembled at Boulogne, and the victory. of Nelson at Trafalgar, in 1305, forever shattered Napoleon's hopes for the invasion. The column of victory, however, was finish- ed in 1841, and it is crowned by a fine statue of ‘the Emperor. “Boulogne was an important com- mercial harbor before the present war. It ranked fourth among the seaports of France, after Marseille, Le Harve, and Bordeaux. It imported jute, wool. skins, thread, coal, timber, iron and steel for the factories of highly Indus- trial northern France; and it exported woven goods, skins, ‘motor-cars, for- age, cement, and wines. It, also, as- sembled the fancy vegetables and fine table fruits for the London hotels for export.

Innsbruck is exclusively of the northland, surround- ed by plums, apples, and fir trees, and Botzen, like' Italy beyond the moun- tains, is in the midst of a_ region of vines, figs, and olives. Botzen lies 3,600 feet lower than the summit_of the pas: “Historic polnts crowd’one another along the Brenner. Many a barbarian tribe has come this way in search of the ease and plenty of the mild eli- mates beyond, and many Roman legions have sought the wild tribes in their homes over the saddle of the Brenner. Guidestones of the time of Caracalla and Septimius Serveus have been found' buried here. Some of th world's greitest generals have trave ed this path, north and eouth; and, here, the Tyrolese peasant, Andreas Hofer, the simple, untaught Austrian hero, proved himself a greater than one of the best officers of Napoleon. “Memories of 2,000 vears of stirring happenings fill the pass with roman- tic interest for the tourist who goes this way by carriage or on foot.

The most ~ important manufacture of this great war-port during peace times, strange to say, is that of steel pens, which industry was introduced from England in 1846.

They have given rise to certain unjust sneers that have been made from time to time. W know better, and our near neighbors know bettef, but the only Way to prove to the outside world that they do not represent us is to put them out of business and keep them out.—Waterbury Republican. 1t is Delieved in well informed eir- cles that there is a great deal of “deadwood"—in the service ~of the public and that the service would be improved if the state got rid of it. At the present time there are In round numbers about 1,500 persons employ- ed in one capacity or another by the state. There is an opinion that if sound business principles were applied to all the departments and institu- tions of the state government this number could be reduced to an ap- preciable extent, and that improve- ment in the service of the state would follow and justify the reduction. — Hartford Times. A good many persons, accept as truth the statement that clear skies and sunny weather will end the grip and Influenza epidemics, without much idea of why it is so. If they took the trouble to know that, they would have knowledge to help them before the clear skies and sunny weather come. Sunshine is an enemy of the disease germ before it reaches the human subject, and applied to the subject, it fortifies against the germ. But more than all this, the sunny skles and clear weather tempts humans into the open, and the free air strensthens their bodies and saves their lives. But the open alr, if they would use it aright, would do almost as much for them when it is damp and the skies are cloudy. It is the “cooping” of the people up that kills—New Haven Register. Now it s obviously neécessary, under the present arrangement, that! the vehicle licenses all expire with the end of the year. But there are twice as many operators’ licenses which need not expire at that time. They might be issued for a year from the time of the application for them, andébe re- newed when they run out. Then the secretary’s office would be relieved of at least that congestion at the begin- ning of the year. If some change were made so that the operators’ licenses expired at different times throughout the year, it might be pos- sible to reissue them at a leisure which would admite of some effective ex- amination and test of new applicants for a license.
