Mr. Editor: The annual spring cleaning of our streets just before election is under way, all the avail- able men seem to be at work, not so much for their ability to lift a shovel full of dirt or lean on a hoe, as their adaptability to vote at the City elec- tion. It is quite amusing to watch them at work making little piles of girt and filth on the side of the street to be scattered around again: by au- tomobiles and teams. Laurel Hill avenue was an object lesson, nice lit- tle piles of airt and filth left all alone, nobody to take them away, men gone, dirt still there biowing all around again, expense $2 per day for several cost i - = : THE REPUBLICAN TICKET |there s also a strong sentiment In g to lt them:" Wy, Trene Is & per: | siope on ail o lovers and Ghines 3t Toda, COL ONIAL = Toda - May A fectly wonderful -driver, and goes all |once!!

The fact of the matter is that the weakngss of our mavy has been dis- closed in such a manner that it Is unwise to attempt to strengthen it by driblets.

So far as action was concerned the police authorities and the judges might just as well have been in Ber- lin _subject to the censors. Within a few days so many slaughters have occurred ~ that the 'news of them reached even the remote benches of The Fight at Berry-au-Bac. The French troops that made a big dent in the German line just west of Berry-au-Bac and not far from Rheims more than a year ago, and who had chafed under the necessity of were taken from the underground shelters which, on inspection, were found to be - marvels of fleld fortifications. ‘They ¢ ran from six to eight yards in depth, most of them, and some of them were ed, if one desired to encourage such trespassing, that it could- be done with more or less safety providing tliere was due care exercised upon the part of the trespasser to protect himself from harm, but that argu- ment nevertheless admits that rail- road property is a dangerous place to frequent and that the best way of avolding that danger is to keep away from it. That this is a lesson lrapossible for some people to learn is indicated by the statement which is made con- cerning the number of lives lost each year from the failure of individuals to have a.proper regard for their own lives. During the year 1914 there were 5,471 persons, from among the small army who insist upon walking the railroad tracks even though 1t 18 forbidden, who lost their ‘lives. That thers has-been some attention given to the warnings against such dan- ger, and to the fact that states have passed laws carrying a penalty for such trespass in order to give pro- tection to those who were mnot in- clined to tect themselves, is shown by the. fact that in. 1905 there were 53,193 'persons killed while trespass- ing on rallroad property. This shows that if people keep off the tracks they ars not going to be killed because of their own careless- ness in that direction. The peril is so apparent that they ought not to re- quire the warning, but being given, together with the lessons which are to be drawn from the experience of others, it ought to be respected. CANNOT OVERLOOK TARIFF. Just how much attention the tariff will get in the coming presidential campaign remains to be seen. It may for the time being be overshadowed MUCH ADO ABCUT NOTHING. When the county supervisor of Nassau county in New York state threatens to resisn if a tuberculosis sanatorium is established at Sagamore Hill near the home of Theodore Roosevelt, he follows the line of rea- soning which so many others do with- out stopping to consider the sanitary requirementsat such an institution. He considers that it would ‘endanger the iife of the ex-president to have such a hospital near his home but he has no objection to its location most any- where else despite the fact, if his ideas were correct, it would be peril- ous to other people. In fact he doesn’t seem to care what might happen to the other residents of Sagamore Hill and vicinity. There are instances where neigh- borhoods are upposed to the location of such a sanatorium in their local- ity because of the publicity which it brings to them, but such would hard- ly cause opposition on the part of Colonel Roosevelt. In this case, how- ever, the county supervisor does not] appear to understand that a sanato- rium is not a place for the propoga- tion of disease germs but that it is surrounded with all the safeguards for the prevention of just what this overzealous public official fears. If Sagamore Hill has been decided upon as possessing advantages for those secking to escape from the clutches of the white plague there ought to be no disposition to stand in the way of giving them the benefit of the locality, and it would require but littls investigation to show that the health of the community will in no way be endangered.

Tax payers. don’'t you think you have had enouzh of the Plain Hill and Talman street combi nation? Mr. Fanning said in his nom- inating speech we had looked to- the democratic party for our mayors for the last twenty vears. Mr. Editor, the money spent over the amount ap- propriated in © meeting, $200,000 or the icreased . city debt, tax rate, public impraovements and rottéen condition -of our streets prove what we have got from democratic mayors in the past twenty years. It has been rather expensive for the man that owns his little home and is trying to save it’ from being swallowed up by taxation to pay . for something he never gets. A change at this time is what is needed to saye what is left of our city beautiful from the rotten condition that has prevailed during the four years of Mayor Murphy’s ad- ministration that he is so grieved about at the eleventh hour. There is one thing that was saved out of the wreck, the slate roof on the city barn. Mr. Editor, the: Wilson democrat is rot theonly one that is ready for a change, there are others. A TAXPAYER. P.

Its beginning is attributed to the Thes- salians, but there is more tradition than fact in the accounts of the region over which It held sway until it came under the jurisdiction of Rome nearly 200 years before the, Christian era. It was here that Julius Caesar was accustomed to come for his confer- ences with friends and political ad- visers from Rome during his ten year's campaign in Gaul. made their of three years. capitulated with ing that his teadquarters until advent of thé Lombards in the eighth century. “Many of the most fascinating epi- sodes of history. are associated with the name of Ravenna, such, for ex- ample, as the tragic story of Odoacer who wrested the realm of Italy from Orestes in 476 and then waged bitter war against- Theodoric the Ostrogoth for many years, finally being shtt up in Ravenna where he withstood a siege length - Odoacer A:e understanding that he and Theodoric should divide the kingdom equally between them. To celebrate the compact a magnificent banquet was spread in a famous lau- rel grove and here while the two rul- ers feasted the Ostrogoth with his own hand slew his royal rival. “During the famous battle of Raven- na in 1512 the picturesque Gaston de Foix completely routed the Spaniards under Cardona, but threw away his own life in the excitement of victory. It was in this battle that a Captain Fabian, emulating the exploit of the legendary Swiss hero Winkelried, see- men could not break At the marking time there ever since, es- pecially since the battle of Verdun be- 8an, were allowed the satisfaction re- cently of attacking a little wood the Germans still held there between the dug to a depth of ten yards, with- such supports that they were able to resist the largest and most powerful projectiles. Entrance and exit from these subterranean forts were facli- Aisne and ihe little town of Ville-aux- Bois. ‘This diversion developed an action of considerable importance that did not get into the official communi- que. It has been described to The As- sociated Press by a staff officer. The wood, strongly fortified by the Germans, made it impossible, so long as the Teutons held it, for the French to rectify and properly fo consolidate their front at that point ~When the attack upon Verdun de¥eloped great proportions, it was decided to pre- pare this operation, both as a desir- able improvement of the French po- sitton and as a diversion. ‘What would @ave been considered an un- precedented concentration of artillery, both heavy guns.and flield pieces, be- fore the Verdun operations, was ef- fected immediately behind the front, while the infantry burrowed deeper and deeper into their underground shelters. Orders were given for the opening of fire at 7 o'clock on the morning of April 25 and the fire in- creased in rapidity and intensity un- til 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Ger- mans replying feebly until the entire ‘wood was being swept and symptoms of an approaching attack became ap- parent. Then their heavy pieces from the fieights of Craonne began a heavy shelling of the trenches from which an attack might have been supposed to originate. The French infantry, well pnfected. from this shelling, in their dedpened dugouts, waited until the French artillery lengthened the and swept the approach trenches and sol- diers’ quarters in #e rear of the Ger- man position. At half past four the first wave of assailants climbed out of their underground shelters and threw themselves into the wood. All the Germans remaining in the first line tated by the arrangement of inclined planes, down which the soldiers would run in case of danger. Windlasses had been provided to lower machine guns Guring the bombardment and to raise :hem quickly as soon as the shelllag eased. A In the course of this action, a French soldier, separated from his comrades, found himsecif face to face with several Germans, who threw themselves upon him, disarmed him, and took him into one of these deep caves. Five other French prisoners were bpought there to join him soon afterwards. efr captors offered them sausages and ham, and made a considerable show of g‘f:l’:c‘:;.‘ :’h:zm generously. While the 2. oners were ching: PR e g flmsisting themselves into the shelter, completely demoralized, crying “Camarades, Cam- arades’ The six French prisoners, to the consternation of their captors, im- mediately constituted themselves the guardians of the twelve Germans and an hour later brought them back to the French lines. At 6 o'clock in the evening the oper- ations were entirely terminated, the woods completely in the f2ands of the French, whose losses were insignifi- cant, while everywhere in the wods lay erman corpses’, and 160 prisoners, of which four were officers and seven sybaltern officers of the 101st Saxon regiment, of which the Emperor is the Honorary Chief, were on their way to the rear.

At the same time special detach- ments explored #he interior of the ‘wood, searching subterranean shelters in which German infantry had sought refuge during the bombardment. That operation was soon interrupted; more than two companies of German infan- try that the French had passed over in their rush, seeing that their adver- saries had reached the eastern edge of e wood, came out of their block houses and dugouts and took the French infantry in the rear.

It is of vital importance to the country that the false position in which the Under- wood bill is made to stand be un- masked. The fact that industries are rushed with business and labor employed at wages higher than cver before does not mean that such has been brought about by the democratic administra. tion, Far from fit. It is well known what the situation was previous to the opening of the war. Business was in a slump and the country was facing a serious de- pletion of its revenue because of the tariff slashing that had been done. Today optimism prevails but it is be- cause the war has temporarily made up for the situation which the free trade policy projected. Business is good but there are many lines of business which would be increased or built up provided thcre was legisla- tion that would encourage them and Insure them a chance to live after the 'European conflict is over. Business which is based upon the war is good today and gone tomorrow. It is as uncertain as the weather and tarift consideration cannot be neglected be- cause of it. This country does not want to be forced to meet federal taxation for- ever and it does not want to go back to the uncertainty created by the Un- derwood bill just previous to the war, and yet that is certain unless there s a readjustment of the tariff such s the republican party has stood for In the past and stands for today.
