This country has o new grievance against Turkey on several tim the war to use its influen ing about different condi empire, not the least of which was the protest that was made the treatment acco ians, but now there trouble in which this directly involved, sin a violation of international without any apparent attempt being made by the Turkish government to disavow it or to make good the wrongs committed. When Turkey joined the central powers the intcrests of the British and French in that country were placed in the hands of the United States repre- sentatives, and in Beirut, Syria for the protection of the archives of the consular representatives of these governments the seal of the United States was placed upon the doors of their respective consulates. This met with no respect, however, for the seals were broken, the buildings entered and the books and papers taken with the result that not a few Syrians whose names happened to be found there were summarily executed with- out any investigation to determine whether there was really any signi- ficance to it or not. Appealsto the ‘government both by the consular-gen- eral and by theiambassador at’Con-, stantinople brought no relief. No at- tgmpt was ;madc to return the ar- chives and thoy are now in Turkish bands uniess destroyed. It fs against this action that, this country ‘now protests and it is a pro- test whick ought not to be‘allowed to be considered simply & matter of for- mality. Turkey nas a way of doing thigs in o high handed manner and the longer it is permitted to.go.on the longer it will continue. In tais in- —_— The Greulaton of | anst the number sical disability. It is understood that the health of the officers must be con- sidered as well-as,that of the men and if an efficient army is goins to be maintained inall its branches there can be no display offavoritism, or a dieresard for defects wherever they may crop out. In connection with this it fs an- nounced: that an appeal has bees to the war department and that Pres- ident Wilson is taking a deep interest in the matter, and it is of course pos- sible for the political friends lof the officers to bring such influence to bear that they will be reinstated, but such a precedent would be a bad one to es- tablish and particularly at this time when the federalized militia is being put to a test. When it comes to run- ning the army politics should have no place. If, of course, the men have been removed from tommand without justification, and there has been any unjust exertion of power, they deser to be reinstated just as soon as the proof can be established but there ought not to be any unwarranted in- terference with army orders, else a vital stroke against the maintenance of an efficient army is threatened. , It cannot be imagined that such a situa- tion would be tolerated in the armies of the European nations and it cer- tainly ou t not to be in this coun- try.

The lkalser must realize that the long dreaded situation of being forced to flght on more than one front at a time has developed, and the results show why he hoped to avold it. Now comes the statement that Ven- ezuela and Peru are not seeking to get part of"the territory of their neighbors and for the sake of a contented conti- nent let us hope that it is true. It requires a good deal of self re- straint these days for those who promised last winter not to make a murmur no matter how hot it was, if the warm weather would only return. When the Mexican government in- forms this country of the movement of bandits towards the border, there is displayed a bit of cooperative ac- tion. which- ought -to have been - taken some time ago, but.how about that control of which Carranza has so much to say? “I thought you sald you weren't go- ing away this summer,” observed the caller. “And now you seem to be packing up.” “We had no_intention of going eny- where,” Mrs. Wilkinson said, as she sank into a chalr with a tired sigh. “We were so pleased with this new apartment and we'd had so many ex- tra expenses that we _thought we should_have' a quiet time at home, where ‘we *could be comfortable and not bave to dress and fuss and_go sightseeing. Nothing tires Mr. Wil- Kkinson so much as sightsesing and he always spends too much on taxis when We go away because he-eays his brain is too-worn, out to tell his feet where to go. 'And we always take the:wrong street cars when away from home. Once in Brooklyn, we were three hours getting to a place that could have been reached in a taxi in twenty minutes.” “On, well, of course everybody knows what Brooklyn is” said the caller. “The Brooklyn conductors don’t know where they live themselves!” “Anyhow, we thought it would-be a measure of economy and a very nice rest staying at home, especially with such cool weather as we have been en- joving this spring. So we fixed up the back porch and we got a set of iced tea_glasses and Mr. Wilkinson sub- scribed to some of the entertaining magazines that he usually considers too light reading for winter. We were enthusiastic, especially when I fin- ished some simple summer gowns that are pretty and dainty and cool, but not at all the fancy sort of thing one has to have at a hotel or when visiting.” “Laundry counts up so when one is away,” suggested the caller. “Indeed it does” Mrs. Wilkinson agreed fervently. “Well, we had just completed our arrangements for a quiet season when I had a letter from my husband's Aunt Martha announc- ing that she expected to be in town for a week or more, but of course she would g0 to a boarding house if we would send her the address of one. aturally I wrote at once telling her to come here and she came, She is just as nicc as can be, and we en- d her so much that we urged her ¢ two weeks. She did and we were very glad. Mr. Wilkinson ook several days off to show her the town and we went to the theater and the movies and had just as good a time as Aunt Martha seemed to be having herself. We were still talking about her visit when my Cousin Adele came to stay five d She was on her way west to live wiih a brother on a ranch probably the last time she would vis; anywhere.

Charles was kept a prisoner here by the treacher- ous Herbert, Count of Vermandois, who had promised to aid the sovereign nst Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy. Peronne was the scene of another act of treachery against a French ruler five hundred yi s later when the ‘bourseois king,’ Louis XI, trust- ing to the diplomacy of gold, visited Charles, the Bold. Two days after Louis’ arrival in Peronne on a mission of conciliation, there came the news of a supposed massacre of the bishop and ducal governor of Liege. The rumor was felse, but Charles, sus- pecting Louis of donbie-dea%iag, threw 1e king in prison and kept him in a cell until he consented to sign the ‘Treaty of Peronne’, insuring all Flan- ders freedom from the jurisdiction of the parlement in Paris. This treaty, was the most humiliating episode in Louis’ life, for the people of Picardy taught their tame jays and magpies to cry ‘Peronne’ and ‘Perette’ in deris- ion of the sovereign. Thoroughly mor- tified, Louis determined to find a scapegoat and Cardinal Jean Balue was the unhappy victim. Balue fled and joined Harancourt, bishop of Ver- dun, in revolt. Both were captured, and Balue was kept a prisoner for 11 years while Harancourt was con- fined in an iron cage, like a wild beast, for 13 years. “The history of Peronne.goes back to the days of the Frankish king Clo- vis II, who owned a villa here and Who gave it to his mayor of the pal- ace, Krchinoaldus, founder of the monastery of St. Fursy in the seventh century.

Of course they, were here only 'a week- end, but that was long enough for that child to break all my fced-tea glasses but one, and to leave dents in my ma- hogany that I-shall never eradicate “We heaved o sigh of relief_when they left and Mr. Wilkinson and I went downtown to ainner to celebrate, but when we, got home 'we found a wiro from my’great aunt saying that she expected to be with-us for four days and wished to be met that evening at “What a_heathenish time o'night!" interjected ‘the caler. “Yes, and the train was an hour Iate” laughed Mrs. Wilkinson. “My husband was sort of grim all the time she was here, especially when she asked for extra dishes at meals, not seeming to like what we had, or when she grabbed the morning papers and did not give him a piece. “When the door closed on her hesaid that was to be the last one, but the very next morning we had a letter from my sister saying she'd be here with her three children next week. I'm awfuily fond of my sister and 1 wes about to write to her to hurry along when I heard from Adele again. “She said her brother had sold the ranch and she was going to spend the Test of the summer with us. When Mr. Wilkinson read that letter he made not the slightest comment, but went to the telephone and engaged berths on an east-bound train and called the ex- pressman for the trunks. He said he didn’t know where we were going but it was going to be a place that would be quieter and less expensive than home.—Exchange. Stories of the War THE BRITISH BANTAMS. “Good for the little fellows” ex- pressed the feeling of the whole army when the “Bantams”in one of the neatest of trench raids took a machine gun from the Germans.
