From the man- ner in ch thoughtless drivers per- sist in disregarding this feature in connection with driving on the walks no small amount of destruction is caused and every time a sidewalk is broken up it means a bill of expense to the property owner which is entire- out of proportion to the convenience which acerues to those connected with the moving van. Sidewalks as z00d in the constant W a rule are mone too . There has been a demand for their improve- ment but there is little to encouragze the fellow who has to put out his hard cash for new walks, or to keep them in repair, when others persist sing them for highway purposes. There is such a thing as imposing up- on good nature, and the willingness of others to do what they can to help those engaged in the none too easy business of loading and unloading trucks, and it is certainly one of the es whe sable sidewalks are mpled to bits by a heavily loaded truck. If proper care cannot be taken to protect the walks it is time that the practice of driving onto them was prompt stopped. HOLLAND’S UNEASINESS. nformation which has been re- Al ceived about Holland massing its troops along its border has come m round abcut manner. ‘Switzerland and Italy have put forward the news, that it will be necessary to get confirmation through other channels before it will be possible to feel cer- tain as to what has taken place and the meaning of it. Nothing comes from Holland direct which does not leave too much to inference, in at- to reach any conclusion as the cause for the uneasi- ils there. Serlin reports declare that Germany not the cas of it and therefore has nothing to fear, while it has been denied in behalf of the allies that they ken any steps, or given reason believing that they were going to e any steps which would make it sary for Hoiland to prepare a defense agzinst them. At no time has Holland shown any t into the war but it has de it plain is for nec oceas would defend itself against in- on p that it vasion, and if it is now making a new distribution of its troops along its der it need not of necessity repre- t any change of position. That it could be of much assistance either side should it depart from its neutral stand can be appreciated since Germany could utilize that coun- try for an offensive against England, and the allies could send an army through Holland to strike at vulner- able points in Germany, but in either case Holland must understand what to it would be called upon to sacrifice. Therefore until it is pushed off its eutra 1 pedestal it is likely to follow same course as in the past but it is evident that it does not intend to be caught napping. he SHOULD REGARD PRECEDENTS. According to the communication re- ceived by the state department from Great Britain, that country does not intend to comply with the demand made by the United States that the 33 Germans, Austrians and Turks, who were taken off the American steamer near Shanghai by a British cruiser, be released. The refusal is based upon the claim that these men were return- ing to their respective countries to en- ter the war, but that is a matter of pure assumption. The fact is that they were traveling from one neutral port to another on a neutral steam- ship, which they had a right to do, and they were entitled to the protection of the American flag. If Great Britain relies upon the fact that these men were headed for this country as a sufficient ground for claiming that they were bound for Europe and the war they are claiming more than the circumstances warrant, for there are precedents enough to show that they are exceeding their rights. Great Britain may_ have the right to Belze enemy subjects who, axe about to enter belligerent countries but it should wait until that was actually taking place or until there was greater assurance of such a probability than is revealed by the presence of such subjects on an American vessel bound for this country thousands of miles away from their countries or the war. The British have opposed such ac- tion when warships of other nations have removed enemy subjects from their merchant vessels proceeding be- tween neutral ports and it is no more than proper that this country should insist upon its obedience to the pre- cedents which it has established and which others have recognized. PROVIDING FOR MORE OFFICERS. " In connection with the recognized need of strengthening of the army and navy there has been perhaps no wiser move made than that which “I don't want to complain,” Loretta &aid, half laughing, “but it does seem as though people who give books as presents might use a little bit of judgement.” “How else could they give books if not as presents?’ queried her brother. “Please enlighten me.” “That isn't the point,” Loretta cor- rected him. “What 1 mean is that it is worse than not giving at all to give books that aren’t suitable. I used to think Aunt Fanny was had enough when she sent me bric-a-brac and china dishes for Christmas when I was 8 years old, but when she be- ON NOT GIVING BOOKS Alice,” Loretta replied with some re- sentment. “And it was a real bride- and-groomy sort of thing. Why, it any girl made her husband livs on such a lot of indigestible stuff as that he would die in a week." “Might be a good id ly if he were very wealthy.” “When people have so far forgotten themselves as to give me a novel Loretta went on unheeding, “it ha usually been a thing like ‘Jane Eyre’ or some other story that 1 read a thousand years ago. When - Cousin John came on from New York he rais- ed my hopes a little, as I saw he had a tempting looking package for me. He disappointed me at once, however, by makes provision for an increasé in the number of officers for both Dbranches of the national defense. The success of military or naval operations depends to a large extent upon the of- ficers and it is not possible to get them by the volunteer system. They need to pass through the different stages of tralning if they are going to be efficient and render the service that is expected of them, and that requires time. Thus it was a wise move which was taken when provision was made for a substantial increase in the number of middies at Annapolis, and that is now followed by similar action in the sen- ate whereby the strength of the cadet corps at West 'Point will be almost doubled. That it should have a place in the army bill which is finally ap- proved cannot be questioned. It is a move in behalf of preparation which is along sound lines and attempted none too soon. An interesting feature in connection with _this measure is the provision that West Point shall be opened to men from the ranks, whereby the president is authorized to name not over 200 such while the remainder will Dbe selected by members of congress from the various states, with Porto Rico and District of Columbia also sending two and four representatives respectively. This should be of immense advan- tage in taking care of the lack of of- ficers so frequently referred to, and when it comes to making the appoint- ments the importance of giving con- sideration to the merits of the respec- tive candidates ought not to be over- looked. OVERCOMING CONGESTION. ‘While that is the one end for which they should be striving, it is gratify- ing that the railroads are gradually getting to the point where they expect to remove certain of the restrictions on the movement of eight and as fast as possible lift the embargo en- tirely. This is no easy task but pro- gress to that end means something, and there is still as great need as ever for the shippers an1 for those to whom goods are consizned, to lend their cooperation. The speedy loading and unloading of cars means much when it is claim- ed that if the cars were loaded and unloaded promptly it would be equivalent to an increase of ten per cent. in their number as far as the service is concerned. Another effort being made is to have shippers fill every car to its capaci which it can be readily appreciated would be of great assistance in moving shipments and therefore in relieving the conges- tion, and the benefit of full instead of half carloads operates both to the ad- vantage of those dependent upon trans- portation lines as well as to the rail- roads. Waste of space is as bad as waste of time and lack of equipment. To a large extent it has been real- ized that the holding of cars on sid- ings or in private yards for the sake of obtaining the storage room, ven though demurrage charges are paid, has contributed as nothing else to the tying up of the railroads. Individual efforts to overcome this feature of freight congestion have accomplished much and with a proper consideration of the part which such shipper and conslenee can play in affording relief the day will be hastened when the re- strictions which it has been neci to impose will be removed EDITORIAL NOTES. It will not be long now before the demands of the refrigerator will make up for the saving on the coal bill. Regardless of the sreater needs for government money, no one would ever mistake the “pork barrel” for a keg. The man on the corner says: Some boys find a chance to 40 a good turn even if grindstones are getting out of date. The fact that few trout are being caught simply increases the opportu- nities for telling about those that get away.

(Additional evidence 1is furnished every day to the effect that Villa, can- not be expected to be found along the skirmish line. There is a decidedly natural sound to the claim that Roosevelt considers that he is the only logical candidate for the presidenc: No one has thought to susgest to Holland that the uneasiness of that government at the present time is purely psychological. From the south comes the informa- tion that rice is to cost more. The natural result of that boast will be an advance in the Chinese laundry prices. From the difficulty which the neu- trals are having in trying to find out whose submarines destroyed their ships, it becomes quite evident that the guilty nation is not proud of its ‘work. Now that the jitneys in the bigger cities are boosting their rates because of the advance in gasoline prices, it is about time someone claimed that the trolley roads were in league with the ofl interests. With the coroner, the public utilitles commission and the federal probe all supporting the railroad’s claim that human failure caused the Milford wreck, there ought to belittle doubt in the minds of the public about it. l gan sgending me books it was worse yet. What does a_child 9 years old care for “Paradise Lost'?" “If she had sent it to me I should have exchanged it somewhere.” “I think not,” laughed Loretta, ‘“Not when she had carefully inscribed your name in it! The next year I had learned not to be disappointed, so I didn’t mind getting “Sartor Resartus.” “She was founding a library for you.” “It's just the way they do at school,” Loretta sighed. “They force George Eliot, Dickens and Thackeray down such voung throat that the pupils hate them and never look into any' other books by the same authors if they live to be 90. I rather like Emerson in spots nowadays, but I certainly hated him a_little while ago. I verily be- lieve that I have fifty volumes of that essay on “Friendship’ given to me dur- ing the course of my life. When I see a small, limp, leather book peeping out of the wrappers now I always know what I'm in for.” “They have those books piled on counters,” said Loretta’s brother, “and marked “Suitable for very old ladles,’ T am quite sure.” confessing that he had not known ex- actly what to bring and had not had time to look about, 80 as he had walk- ed by a counter that looked interest- ing he had chosen a book as he passed. I suppose he shut his eyes in the pro- cess of selection, because the volume he had brought me was by an African explorer and pertained to the hunting of gorillas. It is written for boys of 12 and is full of unpleasant details about killing and skinning the crea- tures. I gave it to the grocery boy.” “It was an expensive book, you may be sure.” “That's just what makes me feel so unhappy,” Loretta mourned. It makes me realize what I am losing in not having the money to put into the books I am just crazy to buy, and can't afford.” “Does that pile of books on the table belong to you?" “They do. I got them out looking for something to send to the hospital"” Loretta sighed. “Our sewing circle is collecting books for the sick and I thought I had a lot to send, but those are mostly ‘Friendship,’ ‘Lucile’ and the rest.

It is doubtful whether any popular nationgl hero in Germany is in general as iittle known, either in Germany or bread, as General Field Marshal Au- gust von Mackensen, he who was in- strumental in driving the Russians out of Galicia and to whose credit the con- quest of Serbia lies. Hindenburg, when the war began, was an unknown, but the public quick- Iy familiarized itself with every detail of his life when his victories of Tan- nenburg and the Masurian Lakes made him an idol of all Germany. Macken- sen, however, Hindenburg’s rival for public affection at present, was only a name until the summer of 1915, ana, despite his great reputation, is little more now Countless streets all over Germany have been named after Hindenburg: statves already have been erected to him® he is weekly in receipt of re- quests to allow the use of §is name in this connection. Mackensen, how- ever, though certainly a rival of Hindenburg insofar as military achievements are concerned, is still far behind him when it comes to popular esteem or idolatry. Few know, either, how narrowly Germany missed having Mackensen as a great military leader. He is the son of a man who in America would be rated as a gentleman farmer, and himself was trained to take his fath- er's place. Though he emerged from the Franco-Prussian war as a reserve licutenant, he immediately went back to civil life, in deference to his par- ents wishes. Mackensen rarely forgets a name or a face, and years after meeting junior officers astonishes them by calling them by name when meeting them again. Few know it, but Mackensen rivals Hindenburg in his intimate knowledge of his native land, and has traveled and studied so extensively that he instantly recogpizes any given place from its physical characteristics. Contrary to general belief, Macken- sen is the best sort of a comrade, and lacks the repelling sterness with which lesser men barricade themselves. Off and on since 1870 he has been connected with the Death's Head Hussars, and today is their general a la suite. No officer has ever been more popular, and few more approach- able. There are countless cases on record of financial and other ald that he had rendered. though not a man of wealth to men of his company, brigade or_regiment Mackensen's early training on_ a farm or country estate instilied in him a love of the open and for hunting that have alw: stayed by him Though almost ars old he has never been ill a day and is so stren- uous a worker that his vounger of- ficers often have hard work in keep- ing up to the pace that he sets. His principal aversion is the shirk- er, including the man who. though not actually dodging work, likes to take things easy and perhaps over-indulge in the creature comforts of life. The officer on his staff who i too prone to laze over his after-dinner cigar or liqueur has not an easy time of it. Mackensen himself does not smoke, because, according to report, of an occurrence in the Franco-Prussian war. He was at the time a mon- commissioned officer in one of the fa- mous Black Hussar regiments, and was entrusted with important com- munications that had to be carried to a neighboring staff. The trip was long, hard and dangerous, but im- portant in proportion. He arrived in time to find the staff at the conclusion of a dinner, and In a very peevish mood because there were no cigars on hand. Though Macken- sen tried to impress on the officers the importance of his message, their primary thought was for something to smoke and they simply ignored the LINIMENT 'SI‘OPS P 2 INSTANTLY, Rat:0 ¢ Does Not Blister known relieves the Noth!.ll ~ flhz Dadway’s eady elief mm | | | THEA :f To 0\ QLI New Show Today SPECIAL Am FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY it brees At The Party LASKY Presents A Juvenile Musical Comedy With Seven Clover Chfldren —_—mm DEWITT & ST AN TP Doy BT | Mooty Shning A Harmony Duo THE CORNER FATTY AND MABEL ADRIFT .

Another anecdote of ‘Mackensen's early career is equally characteristic of the determination and the chivalry which his intimates know so well. He was a student at the University of Halls, and the leader of his “set” He and his fellow students came to know a talented young actress and _ her mother, and learned from the latter that the daughter was severely handi- capped by the chicanery of the thea- tre manager, who not only repressed her every effort to advance, but in- sulted and bothered her as well. Instead of making the matter a personal issue between himself and the manager, as most other ‘hot-blooded young students have done, Mackensen was far more diplomatic. He as- sembled the entire student body which, flower-laden, went to the theatre and overwhelmed the actress with applause and bouquets. There ensued so much favorable publicity that the manager young man.—New York Sun. Never Read History.
