Poles 1in this country have enthused over the pros- pects of a new Poland bul they have not looked with favor on the recent ction because all of Poland has not been included and there has been turn- ed over territory which has been con- quersd and not that was in their possession befors the war. And in the final analysis of the present situation the Poles are to all ap- pearances to be called upon to defend the action which has been taken and which has not been set down as theirs according to any terms of peace. For that reason the Poles are confronted with a situation which calls for much serious thought. BAD GOVERNMENT EXAMPLE. One of the great handicaps which has been experienced by the heads of state military organizations has been the lack of sympathy on the part of! cmployers of labor to encourage en- listments therein. This i3 of course not because of any opposition to the reanizations or to the service which ey render when called upon, but be- cause of the unwillingness to allow them the necessary time off for the annual tours of duty at military camps. Inability to get away to at- tend camp nullifies the results of the training to be received there and the ‘militia_suffers much therefrom be- cause those who would be anxious to join, or in many cases those who have become members without considering the time off for the summer. camp have found that it means they must draw the line between thefr job or the military company. In this respect the present adminis- tration has not contributed anvthing to the improvement of the situation by removing from office postal em- ployes who have served with the ma- tional guards on the border. It would naturally be supposed that the gov- ernment would take the leadership in this respect and do its part towards encouraging _enlistment in such or- Banizations but by its action it has taken the opposite position. Under such conditions it cannot be surprising if other employers of labor should point to that attitude as a guide in their future conduct. It is, to say the least, furnishing no example which/| will aid in recruiting or in encour- aging employers who even have pald the salaries of their employes while engaged in patriotic service. THE STATE RESULT. That the vote for governor in this mtate shows the reelection of Govern- or Holéomb could have caused no sur- prise to the people of the common- wealth. It was an endorsement of the administration of the past two years, and such approval was only what yeould be expected from the business- Andeflicient conduct of state af- ‘Cairs. . An interesting feature in this con- mection is the fact that it was the confidence which the people of the state had In Marcus H. Holcomb two years ago which made him the candi- date of the republican party and the choice of the voters of the state. He did not seek the nomination but the nomination sought the man. Under his administration the piling up of the state debt was checked, the problem of Improving the financial condition of the state was tackled and the result was that the income has exceedad the expenditures so that a sinking fund has been established for the paying off of the bonded Indebtedness and the condition of the treasury is highly satisfactory. Such an accomplishment could not 80 unrewarded. It quicky pushed aside any precedent which had been established that a republican governor should not succeed himself, and the Aact that Governor Holcomb received the largest majority of the republican candidates shows the faith that the people have in his ability and accom- plishments. The same is also dis- played’ in the choice of a republican legislature and the other republican state officers. CALLS FOR ADDED PROTECTION. Most distressing was that trolley accident in Boston whereby an elec- tric car crashed through the guara to an open drawbridge and plunzed headlong iInto the river, causing a loss THE ALLIED OFFENSIVE. From the advance which the British and French forces were making a few weeks ago it was considered a matter of but a short time before the objec- tives, Bapaume and Peronne, would be under their control. They were headed for them by leaps and bounds, pushing the Germans back at every point where the, offensive was carried on. They have hbt sladkedied (i their de- termination and continue to gain ground steadily, but they are encoun- tering increased opposition from the enemy, so that their advance has been slowed up for the time being. They are feeling the effects of the read- justment of conditions by the Ger- mans whereby they have overcome their shortage of ammunition and guns, and they are likewise encoun- tering added opposition, along this western front from the reinforcements which have been sent to that line from Verdun. It was unquestionably Germany!s. purpose to._give this strensth 'to ‘the west. when they evac- uated Fort Vaux, following the suc- cesstul advance which was made by the French in the Douaumont attack. The effort to take Verdun had proved a great failure and instead of attempt- ing to lold what was of little advan- tage and continue .to waste human life anl ammunition to no purpose, there ‘was justifiable reason for bol- stering up other weak spofs and yleld- ing to superior forces at that point. This does not detract from the victory for the French there, but rather does it give them added prestige both there and in that offensive which is aimed at Bapaume and Peronne. EDITORIAL NOTES. In this part of the country the los- ing stde has no chance to lay it onto the weather. The clection this year has created of over 45 lives. It was an affair which from ali indications should have been prevented, but where such Precautions as were deemed necessary appear to have been valueless. The car was not in such a state of control that it would be stopped when the danger signals were disclosed. " That the matter will receive a thor- ongh investigation, which will be greatly aided by the fact that the mo- torman was among the number who ~ escaped and he can therefore defend “his action, Is to be taken for granted. Such a loss of life and the possibility that ‘similar accidents can be expected unless different steps are taken to guard such a dangerous point cannot be disregarded. The conditions at that drawbridge, and of course at others, are such that the provisions for safety should be of the best. “There is as great need for _ /protection against a repetition of such an affair as there is for safeguarding raflroad crossings. At such points electric cars are required to come to a full stop, and in some instances sig- nals must bo raised before the cars are permitted to cross, and from the revelations which have been made in Boston it would appear to be high time that such a requirement should be insisted upon in connection with drawbridge crossings. Had the car come to a stop a few feet befors the draw was reached the great loss of Jife could have been prevented. WHAT WILL THE POLES DO? How the Poles who are in that por- . tlen of old Poland which has been set off as & new kingdom by Germany and - as well as those who are out- side are going to look upon this move ~ on the part of the central powers re- mains to be seen.

Did you miss little mother so that you were glad to go? Did the children: worry you with their nosy play? I tried, daddy—I think you know how hard I tried to take her place—" The shadows decpened in the pro- fessor's old llbrary, softening defects in the marred furniture, hiding thread- bare spots im the faded carpet. From the shelves of the great bookcases old- time friends and dear companions looked down upon the. girl. Outstde the low, old-fashioned win- dows the wind blew in fitful gusts, dashing the rain-drenched woodbine against the diamond panes, a loosened shutter rattled. and from far up the chimney came a little sobbing moan. The old collle stirred uneasily and rose, only ‘to lie down again a little closer to his beloved mistress. Janet's slender fingers closed the worn arms of the big chalr. “I mean to be bfave, daddy, but—" A sudden crash in the distant kitch- en brought Miss. Warren to her feet and drove back the threatening tears. “It can't be the pink lustre pitcher, for T've forbiden her to touch tlat, Poor Nannie, she doesn’t mean to drop things. 1 wish Martha wouldn't be quite so hard on_the child. “Well, Nannie,” as the door burst suddenly ‘open“and a frightened face appeared; but the door closed quite as suddenly, and Miss Warren found her- self alone. A brief silence, then a sgentle knock ¥ Janet smiled appravingly. “Come in,” she called. “You did remember; didn’t you, dear? “Yes'm, afterwards. Nannie came slowly forward. It seemed to Jamet that the left foot dragged a little more than vsual. She noticed, too, the tired droop to the slerder shoulders and the pathetic pleading of the dull blue eyes. “Well, Nannie” sne repeated and her voice was-very gentle now. _She was thinking of what old Mrs. Fales had said “She ain't overbright, Miss Warren, and she's jes. been knocked about from place to place, till the society took her up. That peral'sis’ a dretful thing for children.” Janet became suddenly” aware that Nannie was speaking- “It was - the middle-sized mixin" bowl, ma’am—the_cracked” one with the blue band. Martha says she'd rather itd been any other dish in the house. 'She always says that. Seem’s as if T'd get all her favrites’ smashed up_pretty soon,” she ended wearily. Janet suppressed a_smile. - “Come here, Nannic,” sire said, “and tell me how’ it_happene: But Nannie' did not hear. The big log which had been snapping merrily during the last few minutes had burst into sudden flame, flooding the room with its rudy glow. “Oh!” she cried in childish rap- ture, “isn't this a beautiful room” As is fascinated. she ‘dfew nearer’’ and nearer the fire, stretching out her-thin little hands to the blaze. “I reckon you don’t ever get lonesome in here, do_you, Miss Warren?” Just how it happened Miss Warren herself never could tell. Martha found them, some time "later, Janet in the big chair, Nannie curled up on_ the old fur rug, cne nand buried in Lad- die’s shaggy coat, the other stroking the folds of Junet's gray gown. “And so,” Janet was saying, “there was another wedding in the old stone house, and the last of the little broth- ers and sisters went away and left Janet alone.” 1l alone,” repeated Nannie softly nestling closer to Miss Warren's side. There was silence for a moment in the old library, then shyly came the question. “But don’t Janet want to get mar- ried, too, Miss Warren?" Perhaps it was the glowing embers that caused the soft flush on the sweet face—perhaps Miss Warren had not heard the question. - Nannle waited patiently, but Janet's thoughts were far away. How long ago it seemed. If only— With an effort Janet came back to Nannie and the present. “Not all alone, Nannie. I have Lad- die to protect me, faithful old Martha to care for me, and a dear little girl over to keep me company. = And now,” she added brightly, ‘run back to the kitch- en dear. Perhaps you can be of help to Martha.” At the door Nannie turned. There ‘was something in the child’s eyes not unlike the look in Laddie’s when his mistress laid her hand upon his head. It was old Mrs. Fales who finished the story for Nannie a few days later, as she carefully placed in water the flowers Janet had-sent. “Dear me, yes,” she said, “Janet was too pretty and sweet a girl not to bave her chances, but there wa'n't no show for any of 'em after young Mr. Rovert came. 'Awa'm't no secret — everybody knew tiey was jest waitin’ till he could tack ‘M. D’ after his name and hang his shingle out. 1 recollect,” she added slowly, “the day Mis' Warren died—" - “But Mr. Robert,” interrupted Nan- nie anxiously, “did he die, too?" “Why, no, child—not as I ever heard ~ tell.” Mrs. Fales paused. “Aain’t that Marthy Washington the prettiest thing?” she asked. ‘Mr. Robert did take it awful hard,” she went on after a momen ‘seemed like he jest couldn’t give her up, but Janet Warren wa'm't the girl to turn aside when shc saw the path o' duty layin’ straight before her. “Well, after a while he Went away, and now he's somewhere in the great Northwest. Old Dr. Bradford says he’s come to be a big man, but I'm doubt- ing he’s a happy one, for he wa'n't the kind that could forget. As for Miss Janet, never vou fear, honey, she'll get her reward in the blessed hereafter.” “Yes'm, of course,” there wa: anxious frown on Nannie's face, don’t you think 'twould be lots nicer if she didn't’ have to wait so long?” Sudde she slipped from her chair and stood. eyes shining, cheeks pink with excitement. “Of course he’d come if' he only knew,” she cried- “We've got to write and tell him. And,” she added glee- fully, “I've got the money for the stamp. I earned it killin' flies. “And some folks call her mnumb,” said Mrs. Fales softly, as she watched her visitor disappear in the gathering twilight. . . . Perhaps Dr. Robert had grown weary of his long exile and was ready to come home; perhaps the knowledge that old Dr. Bradford was about to retire from an exceilent practice may have kad its influence, too: but I like to think that the quaint little missive which the doctor tenderiy drew from his pocket as he waited once more in the professor's old library had most to do with the hastening of Janet's reward.—Boston Post. THE WAR PRIMER™ By National Geographic Society Mytilene—“The city of Mytilene, where the revolutionary movement against Greece’s non-participation *in the war closely foliowed tre outbreak in the chief towns of Crete, has been a part of the Greek nation an even shorter time than the latter cities. As the capital of the island of Lesbos (also called Mytilene) it cast off Turk- ish rule at the end of the Second Bal- kan War (1913), and came once more under the sway of its ancient mis tress, Athens,” says today's war Seog- raphy bulletin of the Naticnai Geo- graphic_Society. “Originally Mytilene is supposed to have occupied a small island off the southeastern shore of the larger is- land of the same name, but as its dou- ble harbor soon made it the most im- portant city of the Aeolians on the Asiatic coast, the population and commerce outgrew its islst bounds, and overflowed to the larger territory. A mole or isthmus was constructed connecting the original seaport with the main island, and today the small islet no longer existS as such but a_promontory, with the shores of Asia Minor less than 20 miles to the east. “The mode: is built in th form of an amphitheater around a hill which is crowned with the ruins of a fort dating back to the time of the Genoese.

Aft- er slaying the Athenian commander Phyron in single combat, he was_en- trusted with despotic power by the Mytileneans. It was his life work to maintain a ba'ance of power between the nobles and the commons. Pitta- cus is famous for two of his favorite sayings: It is hard to be good and ‘Know when to act.’ “The career of the great Mytilen- ean poetess has been so widely ad- vertised through the ages by dramas and novels that recent research has tended to brighten to some extent a sadly tarnished reputation. The story of Sappho's leap into the sea from the lofty Leucadian promontory, be- cause of her unreguited - love. for Phaon, has never been proved. While no one will contend that the gifted hesbian’s morals were impeccable, it is_highly possible that posterity has visited ‘upon her head the sins' of some of the more licentious puplls of her great poetic school. In any event, her positién as a poetess is un- assailable. The ancients accorded her a place alongside liomer, designating her as ‘the poetess’, him as ‘the poet’. Writers who followed her called her the ‘tenth Muse’ and ‘the miracle.’ The appellation ‘the beautiful, which not imtrequently occurs, is said to have referred Lo her verses only, for personally she was small, dark and unprepossessing. “Shortly after the outbreak of the Peloponnesian war in the fifth cen- tury, B. C, the ruling nobles of Mytilene forced the city to side -with Sparta against the Athenians to whom they were under an asreement to furnish a naval contingent. For this revelt the city suffered bitterly, and the story of the punishment meted out to the rebels after a long siege is one of the most dramatic in Hellenic history. thens at the time of Mytilene's capitulation was still weeping for the matchless Pericles, he who on his deathbed considered it his greatest prise that ‘he had never czused an Athenian to put on mournins,’ and the government was in control of the mob element, led such demagogues as Cleon. ‘When the fate of the Mytilen- eans was presented for discussion be- fore the Athenian Assembly, Cleon proposed that all the men of the city, 6,000 in number, should be slain, the women and children soid into slavery. The proposal was adopted arnd a ship despatched to bear the sentence to the conquered community. The next morning, however, reasen and justice returned and the Assembly hastily re- scinded the feartless decree. The fleetest trireme of the Athenian navy was ordered to try to overtake the first vessel, which had a twenty-four hours’ start. It was a thrilling race, with the lives of thousands of inno- cent people as the stake. The trircme arrived just in time to prevent the wholesale slaughter. But even the modified decree was barbarous. A thousand nobles were executed, the city destroyed and much of the land given to Athenians. “Twenty-two years after this tragic event (408 B. C.), one of the closing episodes of the Peloponnesian War occurred in the harbor of the stricken city, where Conon, one of the ten Athenian generals chosen to succeed the traitor Alcibiades, was defeated by the Lacedanemonian admiral Callicra- tidas. “Mytilene sided with Mithradates VI of Pontus in his conflict with Rome in the first century B. C., but in spite of this Pompey gave the <city its free- dom, out of fondness for his close friend Theophanes, a native of the is- land.” Morea—The National Geographic Soclety issues the following war geo- graphy bulletin on Morea, the south- ern_extremity of Greece, to which, ac- cording to recent despatches from Athens, King Constantine’s govern- ment has been ordered to transfer the entire Greek military forces now in Thessaly. The explanation for the order is that the Greeks are sup- posedly a menace to the forces of the Enten'e Allies stationed at Saloniki. “While it is uspally described as a peninsula, Morea is in reality a large island having an area almost exactly equal to that of the State of Massa- chusetts. It is separated from the mainland of the Greek peninsula by the Gulfs of Patras, Corinth, and Acgina, and by the Corinth ~canal, whiCh cuts the narrow isthmus of the same name. “The name ‘Morea’ supplanted the more ancient and more widely known name of the ‘Peloponnesus’ during the middle ages. It is supposed to be de- rived from the fact that the peninsula vafuely resembles a mulberry leaf in shape.” It has just under a million in- habitants. The density of population, therefore, is considerably less than a third as great os that of Massachu- setts. “The canal which made Morea an island was opened for navigation 23 vears ago. It is an extremely nar- row waterway—about 80 feet wide at the surface—and the current is very swift, 'so that it presents numerous difficuities to navigators, while the tolls sre excessively high to all ex- cept Greek ships. The canal was constructed at a cost of about $14,- 000,000 and eleven years were re- quired to complete it. The isthmus is only three and a half miles wide. “Morea has a succession of prongs or peninsulas which jut out on all sides and which constitute the vari- ous dcpartments or nomes into which the province is divided politically. The large central plateau, surround- ed by mountains, is known as Arca- dia. Many of the valleys of the re- gion are extremely fertile. The small islands, which lie near the shore and which may be classed as a part of the parent island, have an aera of about 300 square miles. “The origin of the ancient name of Morea awakens memoties of many | mythological romances and tragedies. | Peloponnesus, or ‘the island of Pelops’ pposed to have been settled by colonists at_whosc head was Pelops, son of the Phrygian Tantalus, beloved {of the zods. Pelops was the innocent jcause of the terrible ‘tantalizing’ pun- ishment meted out to his father, for lezend tells us that on one occasion Tanfalus was entertaining the im- mor and as the piece de resist- ance of the feast he served up his own son (Pelops). All the gods rec- ognized the human food at once, that is, all except Demeter, who was so distressed at the loss of her daugh- ter Proserpina that she, in a moment of abstraction, bit a piece of the showdder. Zeus commanded that all the pieces be placed in a caldron and the boy was drawn out by Clotho and irestored to life. Demeter suppiled a bit of ivory for the missing shoulder —hence the white spot on the should- ors of the Lacedamonians, which was supposed to distinguish them. ‘“Poseidon gave Pelops winged horses of rmatchless speed and with these he won the charfot race which entitled him to the hapd of the beau- tiful Hippodamia, daughter of the king of Elis. Pelos did not trust alone to Poseidon’s horses, however. but made assurance double sure by bribing Myrtilus, the charioteer of his opponent, to put the rival charlot out of commission. When Myrtilus de- manded his reward the victor threw the traitor into the sea. As he sank he cursed the whole race of Pelops, Dbringing about those misfortunes of the Peloponnesians which were im- mortized in the great tragedies of the Greek dramatists, such as ‘Elektra.’ “Pelops was the progeni‘or of Men- claus, king of Sparta, whose wife Helen, caused the Trojan War, and of Agamemnon, leader of the Greek hosts in that classic strussle.” Mineral Waters Sold In the United States in 1915.
