Just now I'm anxious to get rid of the last of this pestifer- ous pursiane, but in a moment I'll be glad to walk around with you. In the meantime, pray make yourselves at home.” “Thank you.

Tho British offensive from Greece may or may not meap the opening of the drive which has been expected from that direction for a number of months, but from the conditions as they prevail in Greece today, with the probability that the Greeks will enter the war actively on the side of the en- tente allles within a brief time, as forecasted by a prominent leader in that country, it con be anticipated that it will not be much longer de- Javed. The uncertainty of Greece has heen causing the allies much snxiety. They have been ready to move ahead but they have recognized the danger in shch a move of haviog a hostile force appear at their rear in the shape of the Greek army.

This power- ful order had its beginning in offorts ring which tended the sieze of Acre, one of the leading_operations of the Third Cru- sade. Here during the winter of 1190, a group of devout Bremen merchants secured an ol dship, Teached it and converted it into a hospital for the wounded and plague-stricken soldiers. From this charitable undertaking orig- inated the order which, unlike the Templars and the FHospitallers, was distinctly national in character. After the founders had been ennobled a rule was established whereby only Ger- mans of noble birth were admitted. “Ten years after the founding of the order the knights received from King Andrew of Hungary the district of Burzenland in appreciation of their aid in suppressing the Kumans. In the same year Kronstadt was settled and immediately began to fiourish, with numerous subsidiary villages springing up on the nearby Burzem plain. “One of the most hallowed build- ings in the'city is the famous Prot- estant Church, familiarly calied the Black Church, because its interior was hopelessly blackened by the smoke of the destructive conflagration of 1659. In was in thischurch, which was built in the first quarter of the fifteenth contury, that the great Apostle of Transylvania, Jobannes Honterus (1498-1549), o nativo son, preached the doctrines of the Reformation.

Mr. Wilson is the only President that this country has had for a gen- eration who has looked upon judicial positions as part of the political spolls of office ani who has degraded the bench by making appointments to it as rewards for political activity or to further a partisan purpose. Passing over the case of Brandeis and turning to more recent ones, there is the ap- pointment of Representative Hay of Virginia_to a position on tne federal bench. The obvious purpose of this appoirtment was to get rid of a n: row, provincial, country statesman who s embarrasing the adminis- tration and the country through hcld- ing, by virtue of seniority, the plac of chairman of the Heuse Committee Military A , and who as such as doing his worst to prevent the passage of needed measures for ne reorgzanization and eq ment of the army.~--Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Mr. Bditor: It is not the traffic laws that prevent Norwich from pros- bering, but the class of people that will not concede one thing they have nly as it benefits themselves direct- Iy, and when the matter of city im- provements, such as straightening our strcet lines comes up we are not. able | to do so on account of the rapid ad- vance in the price of real estate need- eq for the improvement. It has ever Leen thus. Norwich has had pub- lic spirited citizens and one especially who did a great deal for his native city until driven out of town by the same class of howlers that put the post office where it is. And now that our city government 1S trying to place | Norwich on a par with other up-to- date cities the same class of howlers | come to the front and want a life lease of our public streets for a sarage. Bill, your figures of the people Who ride in automobiles and the people that have to walk are correct. It is you and I and the likes of us that keep the town going, and not the au- tomobile owners who can go to any 0if town and buy what they want ana obey the traffic laws that want the privilege of leaving their cars along the streets of their own town as long as they like. Bill, stick to your text you are right. If the car conductors could be made to take the numbers of the automobile owners that go by standing trolley cars, you would find t nine-tenths of the ones pay no attention to the law in that respect are the calamity howlers about the trafiic laws. To repeat Bill our city fathers are all right, and don’t need a conservator, and Mr, Editor, when the stranger comes to town and looks about our city, he must think we are long on bay windows distributed here and there on our business streets, and no doubt he is thankful that the traf- fle law provides him space enough to stoy along side of the street for even fifteen minutes that with out the law would be occupied by native automo- biles forever. Mr. Mayor and City Fathers, stick to the traffic laws. There is only a very few of the calamity howlers. You are making a palaco out of a hovel and are being blessed every day by the common peo- ple Who as a rule are not able to car- ry accident insurance and when you come down to brass tacks the com- mon people are the back bone of the universe and when they stop it is good night.
