The-cards that fell out of the parcel were double the sizé of the expected post cards and innocent of a single stamp, and, what ‘was worse, the list of names was not to be found." Fortunately, bered that Maxwell Graham had been campaigning for his friend Bob Crews, s0 I called him up and asked for the list of voters. I caught him just as f1c was starting for a very important conference, dut he took time to dash in and borrow a list from Crews, and to run down here with it. “I promised Crews to bring it back tonight, so you telephone me at this number,’ he said, scribbling it down as he spoke, ‘and I'll get it when you have finished. “Didn’t you bring the stamps? 1 called down the stairway, but the out- er door had slammed behind him, “What to Go I didn’'t know, so I flew at the addressing and finished it in record time.

Whether it will foree Italy to seek assistance from the allies is problematical but if it does it will change the independent character of war which that country Has been waging. It will be required to enter the fight as the others \have and put its best foot forward for the success of the n cause. It is to be remembered that while Italy has severed diplomatic relations with Ger- many it has not declared war with that country. It has been solely con- cerned with Austria and is now. It has done nothing to stop the drive through Servia, Montenegro and Al- bania despite its claim to France that it could handle the Albanian situa: tion. The result is that the new Au trian move is likely to force a new situation in that country and that Italy will have to change its ideas re- garding its participation in the war. THE COST OF THE WAR. Great Britain has just voted an ad- ditional war loan of $1,500,000,000, a sum not so impressive if*measured by the time it takes to say It, but it is the eleventh since the war has opered and the total amount with this last credit reaches almost twelve billian dollars. At the same time Germany has found it mecessary to get more money and a bill will be presented next month for a new war loan of $2,500,000/000, all of which indicates ths tremendous cost at which the war is being carried out. The British credit is expected to last for three months at the present rate fascinating ?"—Ex: I-'m Star of “Salvation Neil” ,"‘ The Unwrntfen Law 2 THE GREATEST DRAMATIC TREAT OF THE SEASON SPECIAL MUsIC AUGMENTED ORCHESTRA - EVENINGS By National Geographi® Soclety 1.100. and in all of these places it ) considered the local daily.

Gregory, the re-|Court houss’ puted founder of the Armenian church, g and called the Iluminator to distin- zuish him from the great fathers of the Eastern church of the same name, was the son of a Parthian chieftain who, in the third century of ‘he Chris- tian era, was bribed to assassinate the Armenian king Chosroes. Many vears later, in order to atone for his father's treachery, Gregory entered tae service of Choroes’ son and successor, Tiri- dates, who had been changed into a wild boar, and who had attacked many of his subjects. With a sermon of sixty days’ duration Gregory restored Tiridates’ reason and was proclaimed a saint, while the ruler became the first Christian king of Armenia. _One of the most interesting features of the legend is that part of it which con- cerns the cause of Tiridates’ maina— an affliction visited upon him by heaven for his treatment of the beau- tiful nun, Ripsime.

From the latest statement by Chan- cellor Bethmann Hollweg, it is evident that he has reached the conclusion that the enemies of Germany are not anxious for the fixing up.of peace terms on the basis of his proposals. He even announces that Germany's Once again it_is declared that the horse cars are to be given up in New York city. That means one less at- traction for the country cousins. ‘With the Boston and Maine in fi- nancial troubles the demands for higher wages and less working hours may be enough to send it onto the rocks, B e rae—— opponents must face the facts “as| There doesn’t appear to be any wor- every war map shows them to be.’ rying over the possibility of a That has been the trouble with such offers as Germany has made regard- ing peace. Tt caught the other nations unprepared and as the consequence it gained much territory which is still holds, but there is plenty of confidence among the allies that the situation is not bound to remain thus. They main- tain that it is ‘only a matter of time, through the conduct of the war under the plan which they are pursuing, be- fore Germany will be forced back out of this acquired territory, and the faith they have in their power to ac- complish this is due to the constantly Increasing' strength and ability to meet the situation, with the economic con- ditions among the central powers playing a most important part. To negotiate a peace now would, ac- cording to the stand which the chan- cellor has taken, mean that those na- tions fighting Germany would be obliged to let Germany fix the terms. water famine. Nature is certainly being kind to a great many commu- nities.

I belleve Mr. Palmer will not deny there are a few low-down farmers in nearly every county who buy scrub sheep at a low price, turn them in some back pasture to be killed by dogs, collect enough from obliging select- men to give them a good profit, and re- peat as often as they dare, without exciting the suspicion and contempt of their neighbors and selectmen. These are not sheep growers or keepers; merely cruel swindlers.

Seeing no way to repulse the mon- arch’s advances, Ripsime fled to Asia Minor with her abbess, Gaiana. Dio- cletian soon learned of her place of refuge and commanded Tiridates to seize the girl and return her to Rome. But in the meantime Tiridates had fhimself succumed to her rare beauty. “Ripsime, equally cold to the Ar- menian, was seized and tortured to| death by the thwarted king, and with her were massacred her thirty-six fol- lowers. “One of Gregory’s first acts upon his elevation to royal favor was to build shrines for the relics of Ripsime and ana, the site for these being mi- raculpusly selected, so continues the lengehd, by the Son of Heaven, who came Gown from above on a path of light and smote the earth with a golden hammer. “Kafkobad 1, greatest of Seljuk princes, illustrious both for his mili- tary prowess and as a patron of Sar- acenic architecture, won a decisive vietory on the plains of Erzingan in 1230, a victory, however, which re- s\lfled in the downfall of the Seljuks thirteen years later, for the vanquish- ed prince, Khwarizm shah Jalal, was the only buffer between Kaikobad's k.lngdom and the Mongols. r Kaikobad had been poisoned by hll nwn son, thlmlfl.\l, the Mongels administered a cruthh:! defgat to this unworthy heir of a great sire, and' g un E .00 wag purchased only by the pay- ing with asphalt the Mongols came the Tatars, ’men tha Turkomn- Q{d finally Erzin- a part of the domain of Mb nmmed I in 1473, twenty aher the establishment of the 1 ]l:zl.m meeting include the AWen rnpies € REsentoRe e Bt satl for wetion Thaveon Spain has 992 plants for public elec- | 1+ our, Cqmmittes, further ree trie Tighting and 978 for private use. 8‘.,“....,“""“":?’:,.‘."“%. % Tha on Hnm!u :onmnlin.gv e Yodm ‘better stop at onm or m’fl lose mr b.
