It was unfortunate that the situa- tion was allowed to develop which would give the impression that this ‘ country took any other position, but| when it became necessary to declare | itself it has been shown that party lines wero wiped out and that by considerably over two to one con gress supports the president in in sisting upon the observance of our rights as neutrals by nations at war. The vote was not without its dis- play of partisanship, or without ap- parent evidence of a decided split in the democratic forces, all of which ‘was expected to a certain extent, both from the conditions which exist in congress and the form which the res- olutions and vote took, but there was never any serious belief that there Would be any different result. Congress has not only shown that it backs up the stand which the presi- e in behalf of the rights of Americans and the honor of the nation, and discredits any attempt tc have this country take any other course, but it gives notice to all the belligerents that it will not counte- nance any change in international law simply because one or more nations believes it expedient for them ito Jdo ®0. If for any reason there has been any question about this the vote of congress disposes of it. JAIL SENTENCES AND LICENSE SUSPENSIONS. In behalf of greater safety on high- ways and added protection to those who may be either in or out of the p- car, an effort is being made before . the Massachusetts legislature to p: to & bill which is desizned put check upon the reckless & particularly those who are to operate their machines while un der the influence of liquor. Many deaths and not a few accidents have Deen caused by the fact that the onc who was af the wheel had been ini- bibing too freely of the cup that end it is felt that the iime as come when new legislation is needed tc bandle such cases. Tnder tre provisions of this law, nich has already recelved fav.ribia action in the house, prison sentences are provided for the operator of a car who is under the influence of liquor, or for the one who is convicted a sec- ond time for reckless driving. Pro- visions arc also made for a similar penalty for the driver who knowingly . runs away after hitting a person on the public highway, while it would guspend the license of the Intoxi- @ated driver for a year after a sec- ond conviction, for two years follow- §ng a first offense for a drunken driver end five years should he be convict- . ed a second time. . It is a well known fact that the ~ imposition of fines has little effect upon many drivers. They evidence a " willingness {o step up and pay pro- | vided they can do as they please, and it has become apparent that something \ more rigid in the way of causing them " to respect the laws needs to be done. ~ Mpssachusefts has unquestionably hit _ upen a plan which should prove ef- fective if it can be placed upon the statute books and enforced. TURKEY’S PLIGHT. From the conditions which are be- ing revealed in Turkey, it becomes vident every day that Russia’s en- trance into that country through the back door, and the success which is Mng attained by the czar's forces ~ under the guidance of Grand Duke | Nicholas, are to have a tremendous effect upon the central powers. Tur- Key’s entrance into the war was look- ‘ed upon s one of the greatest strokes diplomacy that had taken place up | o that time. It was expected to oc- cupy the attention of the allles in a nner which would weaken thefr deavors in other theatres of the , while the subsequent action of Bulgaria in casting its lot With the utonic forces only to be followed by successful conquest of Servia was a to furnish relief in the way t supplies which would relieve the ortage already being felt by the ntral powers. ‘That it did furnish that relief is tp Germany and Austria, and in turn those countries took charge of Tur- key's army and relieved its shortage in the way of munitions, but the re- port that the Ottoman empire is now seeking to make a separate peace with Russia reveals as nothing else can the distress which i1 has been claimed for a among the Musselmans. expected of the Yurks for the harass- ing of the allles’ irferests in the east, at the Suez canal and in Egypt, but| a quick end has been put to that by the Russtan invasion which is fast spreading over Asia Minor and threatening the breaking up if not the end of the empire. Russia from present indications has Turkey in a merciless grip which is not likely to be released, and the indications are that peace will not be had for the asking. MAKING COMMENDABLE PROG- RESS. Nothing legds more encouragement to a cause than the fact that progress is being made. When it is not only recognized by those closely connected with such work that thelr efforts are producing results but it is shown by actual conditions and figures support the claims, a new inspiration is gained and faith is greatly stimulated. The impression which it makes upon oth- ers is lkewise salutary. ‘This i3 especially true in behalf of the commendable activities of the an- ti-tuberculosis _ socicties _throughout the country. They are not only per- sistently at work but they are stead- ily nearing the goal for which they are aiming. Even though the latest report of the census bureau shows that in 1914 tuberculosis caused 10.5 per cent. of all the deaths in the reg- istration area of the United States, the National Assoclation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis shows that the death rate from the disease is steadily decreasin: the deaths from the white plague in 1904 having been 200.7 per 100,000 popula- tion while in 1914 the rate was but 146.8. That this drop of over 25 per cent. was due largely to the societies which are working for that very purpose must be admitted. When this effort in behalf of humanity was bezun there were bi 39 anti-tuberculosi socie- ties, 115 sanatoria and hospitals, 29 special clinics, no open air schools and not more than 5,000 people ac- tively interested in such preventive work. Today there are over 1,500 anti-tuberculosis associations, 600 sanatcria and hospitals, saries, 100,000 cause. Nothing succeeds like success and that is certainly crowning the efforts being made Dby this orzanized move- ment to prevent and check the suffer- ings of fellowmen. 450 dispen- 800 open air schools and over actively interested in the THE FIGHT AT VERDUN. Whether the German drive at Ver- dun eventually proves to be a mis- take, as some of the German officials seem to think, it must be realized that t is showing no abatement. It is nz pushed with characteristic de- termination and by methods whick lave gaincd for the Teutonic forces success in previous operations. Ger- many has been for two weeks doing Its utmost to break through the French lines. It has plunged into the center and it has directed operations against two sides at the same time, which moves have forced the French to draw in their forces around the half circle thoush by no means have there been any indications of serious weakness vpon the part of the de- fenders. They have withdrawn to stronger and more strategical pos Uons but only at a tremendous sac- rifice of humanity by the attacking army, and an unprecedented expendi- ture of projectiles. As vet there is no indication of the outcome, for with Germany possess- ing unlimited resources and deter- mined to use them in order to capture the strongest point on the French line it is apparent that they are not con- vinced that they will not ultimately succeed. That they are placing great dependence upon their artillery is in- dicated by the results ‘hich they have already obtained therefrom, and the effectiveness of the biz guns is shown when a French official admits that some of the largest of the Ger- man howitzers are being operated as rapidly and truely as are the smaller ones possessed by the French. The French stratesists are playing 2 defensive game and conserving their | reserves from which much can be ex- pected when the time comes to use them. but the outcome at Verdun can- not help heing looked upon as one of the vital operations of the war. A decision means much to either side. EDITORIAL NOTES. The reputation of the groundhog appears to be shattered beyond hope. Mrach has no consideration for the fellow who has to swing the snow shovel. There is nothing just at present which encourages the belief that there will be an early showing of dande- lions. If_as reported Villa is on his way to this country to ask amnesty, he in- dicates his willingness to eat from the hand that he would bite. The new secretary of war declares that he is for the Wilson program. That is fully understood or he would not have received his appointment. The man on the corner says: It makes a panhandler angry to take him into a restaurant for food, instead of giving him the price of a meal. Turkey appears to be in much the same condition as the Thanksgiving day bird about three days after the holiday—nothing left but the bones. As much as these daily snow storms may displease some people, there is satisfaction in knowing that they are not being reserved for month. the coming Perhaps the results of that German fleet which is reported to have come out of Kiel is going to be as disap- pointing as the recent debut of the groundhog.

Their creed is that all the world is divided into two parts, one part stylish and the other part mot. So far as they are concerned the part that is not stylish is not even visible. For them the unfortunate human beings composing it simply do not exist. They would cail Joan of Arc a trump and consider frightfully dull a great phil- anthropist with a mind above clothes!

There are lots of people living with their nerves on edge.—New DBritain Herald. The loss of over 3,000 men on the auxillary cruiser and transport La Provence is the greatest tragedy of the sea that history records. No such number of men were ever carried down to death before in a sea dis- aster. But it is one of the chances of sanguinary war and the sinking of the liner with its human freight w: entirely justified from an enemy view- point. * La Provence was a warship, and as such not entitled to warning. It was subject to attack at all times and under any conditions. The men who were on board of her took the risk and died in their duty.

Most of them, es- pecially those in the clay, are pre- served with remarkable fidelity. About 300 species of plants from this forma- tion have been described, and the to- tal number of species it contains mey perhaps reach 500 or more. This _abundant fossil flora shows that what is now an almost treeless plain was once covered with eplendid forests of hardwoods, interspersed with scatteded conifers and ginkgos.
