While the allies on the west front have been plugging away und mak- ing appreciable advances into the ritory held by the Germans, there has been a lull in the offensive operations of the Russians. It may have been the resistgnce “which was furnished by the Teutons, or it may simply have been a breathing spell taken for the purpose of organizing their forces for @ new attack following the success which attended their efforts in Bulo- wina and Galicia, and with the reports which are now coming from that front there are reasons for believing that the latter is the probable explanation of the let up. Now the Russians are again going torward with Temberg as the objec- tive and in this offensive they have the equipment and men which are necessary to make it a success. The Teutons are not belittling their abil- ity nor are they unmindful of the turther loss of prestige which would be suffered should the Russians suc- teed iIn recapturing that important point. This is disclosed by the atten- tion which Chief of Staff von Hin- fenburg is devoting to the eastern front to which he is reported to have sent many new divisions. Tem- porarily he.appears to have thrown a scare into the Rumanians but from the way in which they have come back it may only be temporary from which e they have undoubtedly learned as im- portant a lesson as the Russians did on their previous drive. The world, however, is anxiously awaiting the re- sult, however, when the allies actual- ly get into motion on all the fronts, Including that about Saloail DISREGARD THE WARNINGS It is a curlous state of affairs when It is revealed by the records of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company that for the year ending with Jfne 30 there has been no abatement of the trespassing evil but rather an increase in the number who weie killed or injured while on raiiroad property, for when it is shown that there were 172 persons killed, or 83 more than last vear, and 346 in- fured, which was 76 more than in the previous twelve months, it reveals an Increased tendency to carelessness that shows littie respect for personal safety. Such being the case, and espectally sfter the road has done so much to warn track walkers and those who frequent railroad property of the dan- ger which they encounter, it is not surprising that the company has felt tqmpelled to undertake the prosecu- Hon of those who are found upon rail- road property, as was recently done In a Massachusetts town where 15 men were arrested and upon being presented In eourt were fined five dol- lars apiece. Inasmuch as too little attention ic being paid to the warnings it is time that something different was tried for the purpose of stopping the needless waste of life. Where laws exist sgainst the use of railroad property there is no question but what they Jhould be enforced, and the large num- ber of accidents simply point to the hecessity of such laws where they do 10t already exist. A LESSON IN DISCIPLINE, Not a little attention has been at- tracted by the case of the member of + Massachusetts regiment who was tourtmartialed for libelliug his offi- jers in a letter which he sent to the per of his home town while on the rder. Ho was given a sentence of months’ fmprisonment at hard la- as punishment and it is highly ble that he will thini twice before Jommitting such an indiscreet act even though it should happen, it is entirely possible for it to, that term in the federel penitentiary is ightened. . -~ “offense occurred during the Jays when the Tederalizea militia was its first tryout. There was OUR MACHINE GUN EQUIPMENT. The success of the Lewis machine gun as handled by the British on the western front has apparently brought the war department of this country to the realization of the shortcbmings which existed when this nation was prevented from getting an impartial tryout of this important weapon, and of the necessity of remedying the trouble. 3t There are reasons for believing that it was most unfortunate that this gun, perfected by a retired army official and offered to this government, should have been passed up without a thor- ough tryout, and that it should have been necessary to take it to Burope in order to have its merits demonstrated. It is not the only machine gun that the British use but when they secure 30,000 of them and rely upon them to carry on the operations in the Somme offensive, it must be recognized that Great Britain had its eyes open for an efficient weapon and did not throw it aside because it was the invention of an American or because It already bad machine guns of another type. The action which has now been taken by the war department in the appointment of a board of five officers and two civilians to go into the ma- chine gun problem comes late. It the dircct result of the revelations which have been made by the inven- tor of the Lewis gun and though it is late it is to be hoped that it will be tled right and that the machine gun e« ipment of .this country will not suffer further from lack of proper at- tention in considering the differen types of gun: HOW GERMANY FEELS. However one may feel resarding the war in Burope it will be impossible to deny that Germany is a hard fight- ing nation. It made preparations long in advance of the war and it has made great use of them, so that it Is not sur- brising that Chancellor von Bet mann-Hollwes: should - declare tI Germany is not ready for peace “while her house is burning” or that in its present position he should have the { courage to declars “we will win.’ | German assurance has never lazged throughout the war and tine cabinet officer does not .intend that it shall show the white feather at this time if it can be prevented.

With both sides feeling that there certainly is no chance now for the peace advocates to make much impression upon th: fighting nation: EDITORIAL NOTES. When it aid that Villa is dead, the wish is father to the thought. The man on the corner says: Some of the human rolling stones that one »s gather something than worse moss. Of course if the Bremen has not been captured by the British there is the possibility that there has been a strike on board. No one has as yet heard King Con- stantine bemoan the fact that he hasn’t more than one crown to give for his country. The Peary-Cook North Pole contro- versy makes a good summer topic but when cold weather strikes on it is a 800d thing to forget. With Luxemberg objecting to at- tacks from airships, there will be a number of cities in Burope which will extend genuine sympathy. A New York report says that but 12,000 are out in the general strile, but the habit appears to be spread- ing throughout the country. The next Rumanian army which takes Hermannstadt will have a chance to profit by the lack of pre- cautions of its predecessor. Tt is now reported that it is possi- ble to make alcohol from sawdust. This gives hope that there will yet be some_ use for the discarded peanut shells. If the claim that 15 vessels have Dbeen sunk by torpedoes without warn- ing does not pan out any better than rt did in the case of the Kelvinia, it might as well not have been made. John D. Rockefeller's wealth has in- creased until he is a billionaire, but 1 he will only give it thought he will find that there are plenty of ways in which he can spend it and spend it wisely. B Von Papen, who is now fighting on the Somme front, can at least say that he did not wait until the kaiser appealed to all native sons to return, before going back and entering the army. Now that it is claimed that Villa was not responsible for the attacks at Columbus and Ysobel, it is possible that he is going to seek representa- tion on the American-#exican com- misslon. - It is about time that some of the entertaipment promoters of Burope started in to put a fence around some of those tren: 4nd honeycombed battlefields - of ““'and open them up.to the mublio . wNORE YV o Father's old friends, the Hartleys, had often asked me to Southbank, their country home at Indian Lake, but as I belleved that their idea of enjoyment was to work nearly all day in the garden and go to bed with the chickens at night I did. not_accept.

In the Russo-Turkish war of 1812 it was bombarded by the Russians. and 17 vears later surrendered to the same power without a blow in its defence. . “Probably the most noteworthy event in the history of ancient Toml was its deségnation by the Emperor Augustus as the place of exile of the great Latin poet Publius Ovidiys Naso, familiarly known as Ovid. 'The poet’s offense was the publication of “Ars Amatoria” which enjoys the questionable dis- tinction, according to no less an au- thority than the Oxford scholar.George Sidney Oken, of being perhaps _the most immoral work ever written by a man of genius. Augustis had become peculiarly sensitive about such litera- ture because he had been forced to banish and disinherit his own daugh- ter, the brilliant and beautimul Julia, on’ account of her scandalous intri- gue with the son of Mark Antory. This disgrace was followed by a sec- ond scandal in the imperial family — the notorious behavior of the vounser Julia, the emperor’s granddaughter. As Socrates was charged with having corrupted the youth of Athens, 86 Ovid was deemed by lAugustus as at least In part responsible for the corruption of youthful society In Rome.

Confirmation froth trustworthy Ger- man sources or reports of atrocities committed by the Turks against Christians in Turkey has just come into the possession of the British Government through its censorship of the mails. The confirmation is in_the form of a protest sen: to_the Ger- man Foreign Office by the Faculty of the German High School at Aleppo, Turkey. In it the German professors state that unless Germany acted to restrain the Turks that the crimes and outrages committed by the Turks “will always remain a terrible stain on Germany's honor among the genera- tions to come,” A copy of the protest was found in a letter written by Dr. Edward Graet- ner, one of the signers, from Basle, Switzerland, on, July 7, to a distin- guished German theologian in a neu- tral country. Here it is: ‘Aleppo, 8th October, 1915. “We humbly beg to report the fol- lowing to the Foreign Office: @ “We feel it our duty to call the attention of the Foreign Office to the fact that our school work, the forma- tion of @ basis of civilization and the instilling of respect in the natives will be henceforward impossible if the German Government is not in a posi- tion to put an end to the brutalitles inflicted here cn the exiléd wives and children of murdered Armenians, “In fact of the horrible scenes Whi . s take place daily near our school bufld- ings before our very eyes, our work has sunk to a level which insult to all human sentiments. can we masters possibly read the stories of ‘Snow-white and the Seven Dwarfs' with our Armenian_ children, how can we bring ourselyes to declinc and ‘conjugate, when in the courtyards opposite and next to gur scheol build- ings death is reaping % harvest among | the starving compatriots of our pu-| “Girls, boys, and wemen, all prac- tically “naked, lie on the ground breathing their last sighe amid. tne dying and among the coffins put out ready for them. “Forty to ®fifty people reduced to skeletons are all that is left of the 2,000 to 3,000 healthy peasant women driven down here from Upper Armen ja.
