Even though there are no very im- portant matters to come " before ‘the 1917 session of the general assembls it is impossible that there should not be much interest manifested In the eoming gathering of legislators. The state has gone through two yvears of e wise and businesslike administra- tion. Many of the mistakes and prac- tices of previous administrations have been corrected and the te gets much comfort out of the fact that it is once again pulling down its indebt- edness instead of piling it up. It is because of the fact that the state has been in such capable hands for two years that the voters last November not only endorsed the man- ner in which the commonwealth's bus- iness has been carried on but demand- ed its continuance along the same lines for a like period. That the legislature will in all prob- ebllity not be called- upon to wrestle with as big problems as it dld two years azo does not mean that there will not be important work to be done. Its task is always one which needs to be handled carefully and well. Tt is not the personal interests but the welfare of the entire state which must be taken into considera- tion and there is merit even in prop- erly attending to the small things. oIf as it has been intimated the pro- gram will be such that the business ought to be closed up by the first of April, or even the last of it, it will be a gratifying change from some sessions, but it can only be done by a consistent applicliion to business from the very start.. The session will never prove satisfgetory if it is al- loWwed to lag in thbeginning and then hustled regardless of results just to make an early get awav. EDUCATION IN SAFETY. When it is realized how many lives ere being snuffed out daily in the streets of the big cities, when by the exercise of proper care on the part of all concerned it could be prevented, it must be recognized that each and ev- ery ‘effort that ismade to chanze these conditions is “Smmendable. Not a little benefit is bound to re- sult from the movement which Is now underway in some of the citles of the middle west where illustrated lectures aré being siven to the schobl children by a public safety engineer for the purpese of displaving the actual dan- gers which exist and pointing out the part which each child can play in preventing persomal injury. It is an educational move of farge possibilities and is being made realistic from the fact that it is being presented in the ghape of moving pictures #hich show all manner of dangerous situations where the exércice of common vigi- lance would have rendered the risk avoidable Some credit must be given to this plan in the city of Chicago. It was not long azo that the average number of children killed in the streets reached 50 yearly, but following such a cam- paign there have been periods of six months when not a life waslost in such » manner in spite of the increase in children af the number of vehicles in_the streets. This same increased attention to dangers can be pointed out to chil- dren in other communities, for even though the danger may not be as ie o B gee o:nn. $7 Church = St. |37 : Sreothck ar Horwica, remain. aadition it is demanded that &uqrvi meetings be restricted allies given control.

He must realize that the entente powers are making the most of a firm stransle hold. THE ADVANCE THROUGH RU- MANIA. No explanation is forthcoming for the successes which the Teutons are having in the continuation of their drive through Rumania. That thev are putting forth their best efforts and taking advantage of every open- ing that is found, is to be inferred. They are conducting & successful campaign which it is impossible to belittle, but there must ‘be some rea- son which does not appear on the sur- face for the steady retreat of the Russians, who at the present time are threatened with being driven some distance into their own country. Rumania was subjected to super- lor forces. It was not ready to en- ter the war when it did and it relied upon assistance from without, which has not been as satisfactory as they had reason to anticipate. Russia has sent aid but it has only served to de- iay the Teutons instead of checking them, which leads to the impression that Russla is once again suffering from the same sort of trouble which followed its first drive into Galiecia. Mackensen has gone through Ruma- nia much the same as Me drove the Russians back out of the Carpathians and the czar’s forces have been un- able to make any headvray along any of the other fronts. Whether Russia is suffering from a shortage of ammunition is not re- vealed but it is entirely possible that the closing of its ports and the blow- ing up of many of its ammunition <hips figure more prominently in th's Rumania defeat than *is admitted. The contrast to the activity which it manifested before Rumania cast its lot with the allles however leads to that conclusion. POLIOMYELITIS. Every effort has been made to get at the bottom of the cause of infan- tile paralvsis, but regardless of all that has been done following the seri- ous situation which arose in man communities last year, none too murh is known about It. Dr. Flexner in a pa- per before a convention of scientists gave an interesting account of what has been accomplished. He pointed out that the disease had been maintaining its tiold* since 1906 but that he did not consider sufficient ground for believ- ing that the epidemic conditions which occurred last summer would necessarily follow in the same places this year. While the study is going on it be- comes plain however that every ef- fort must be directed towards pre- vention. Last summer it was shown that isolation was of the greatest im- portance and until more is known about the micro-organism which is re- sponsible for the trouble, it is well to take the matter seriously and contrib- ute whatever is possible to the fight- ing of the disease. Because it is not absolutely certain that the disease will appear in the same Dlace where it prevailed last year does mot mean that there can be any neglect of pre- ventive measures. There are the best of reasons for insisting upon cleanli- ness at all times, singe that is m desirable even thoush it should not prevent the appearance of the trou- ble. Certainly it is better to adopt each and every measure which the au- thorities prescribe as advisable than it is to aMow unsatisfactory condi- tions to prevail and trust to the effi- cacy of the cures for the dread dis- case of poliomyelitis. EDITORIAL NOTES. New resolutions which do not last longer than 24 hours better not have been made. The man on the corner says: No one ought to be any older than he looks when happy. ‘When Villa needs a new supply of money all that he apparentfy has to do is to enter whichever city looks good and obtain his fill The blacksmith of. course knows what the auto has done to his busi- ness bug he is still aware of the fact that hofses are not yet being shod by machinery. A new idea of our own greatness is furnished by the statement of Charles Schwab that his steel plant is already twice the size of the great Kpupp in- dustry in Germany. Carranza appears to be as slow in approving the Mexican-American agreemeng as he does in demonstrating his control over the bandit gans headed by the wily Villa. Even though Germany has guaran- teed the neutrality of Switzerland, that country has mot forgotten Bel- gium, and this new pledze is not suf- ficient to cause it to disband its army.

Straits of Chios, only four and a half miles wide, has long been a bone of con- tention between Turk and Greek, and during the earlier part of the 15th century was the scene of some of the bloodiest tragedies known to history.; “As early as 700 B. C. it was one| ot the richest and most important members of the Ionian Unicn. It has sputed with Smyrna - the honor of being the birthplace of Homer. When the Jonian cities rebelled against the Persian yoke, Chios, manned and equipped 100 ships and sent them to | le of Lade. This stands for g when we take into consid- eration the fact that at that time, namely 494 B. C., the isiand numbered only 30,000 free- men and 100,000 slaves. “Chios has béen, in turn, Ionian, Persian, “Athenian, Roman, Italian. Turkisl and finally, in 1913, after a separation of nearly 2,300 years, it was united once more to the parent country, Greece. As one may well imcagine, a little island of 818 square s which has changed masters so many times necessarily must have suffered much from the strife which swept over 1it. “Twice has this island been visit- ed by terrible earthquakes. The first was away back in 17 A. D, and it was only ‘through the fostering care of the Emperor Tiberius that the peo- ple were able to make a fresh start. Trhe second was in 1881, when the town of Kastro was practically laid waste. Mosques, churches and dwel ling houses disappeared into the bow- els of the earth, engulfing no less than £,000 people. This earthquake visit- ed the whole island, and many beauti- ful and historie monasteries, some of which contained priceless objects of art, valuable libraries and monu- ments of antiquity, were completely iost. “But In spite of all these vicissi- tudes Chios has also seen many hap- py days. Even in the old days of -the Torian Union it was celebrated on ac- count of its commerce and industries, especially for its native wine and the manufacture of beds and sofas. Un- der Rome the island was ruled as an insular province. and enjoyed several hundred years of almost unbroken peace and prosperity.. The people have always been sober and industri- ous, and not only have they grown opulent in-the various fields of com- merce, but many have also succeed- e in literature and art as well ‘Chios’ real troubles virtually be- gan with the Greek war of indépend- ence. Somewhat against the will of the people the island became in- volved in this struggle and was visit- ed by a massacre which appalled hu- manity. In 1822 the Captain Pash; appeared before Kastro with a pow- erful fleet and landed an army of Moslems who slaughtered, in the space of ‘two months. 50,000 Chians, while 32,000 were sold into slavery. The entire island was given over to pillage, and scarcely a village, church, or convent was spared the flames. “These acts of ferocity did not go unavenged. While the Moslems were ravaging_Chios, the islanders of Psa- ra _and Hydra were planning an at- tempt on the Turkish fieet, which was Iying in the outer harbor of Kastro, Just off the Genoese citadel.. The authors of this bold strike were Con- stantine Canaris and George Pepines. They arranged two brigs as fire-ships ard manned them with a chosen band of desperate men. “The lichts hanging at the masts of the Turkish ships were so dim that the Chians were enabled completely to surprise the unsuspecting crew at midnight. The brig commanded by Canaris immediately _grappled with the Captain Pasha’s flagship and set it on fire. Pepine was equally suc- cessful, and another battleship went up in flames. With shuots of “Vietory to the Cross,’ the old-time war cry of Byzantium, the islanders escaped in 2 launch which they had in tow, with- out the loss of a single gnan. Prac- tically the whole of the Captain Fasha’s fleet was destroyed, and 2,300 lives were lost. “There is an old Greek monastery about an hour's ride from Kastro which is a gruesome monument of this period.

Writing from the front in France, under date of November 26, 1916, to Ellot Norton in New York, Philip Mills tells this interesting story: Dear Eliot: Since I of - meetin; write you o ven't had an opportunity s some time I will twenty giew men on the way out to join The American Red Cross and as we have the ambulances all ready for them the new section undcr the com- mand of our “Chief”, your brother, will be prepared to take over their work with another French Army Di- vision as soon as the men arrive “au front.” 1 believe “the Chief” is ararnging to have the three sections, Harjes Section, Norton's Section, and the new gle army corps. This will be a great advantage as it will keep us close to- gether and enable to back each other up in tight places. You see these sections, Harjes’ and Norton’s, have been in continual service almost since the war started and the author- ities nmow have absolute confidence that we can handle our job and are here to stick; but we need more men and can promise every man who comes out that he will be close enough tc the fighting all the time to keep from imagining he is in America. To-day we have been having rather a lively time at all of our hospital posts. Of course you know almost every hospital at the front is within range of enemy artillery, but you would expect a hospital marked plain- ly all ever with Red Crosses would be left alone—but, in this war, it seems that a Red Cross is Fritzies' pet tar- get. He has been shelling the hospital buildings all afternoon, and we have been helping to move out the wound. ed to safe places. Poor fellows, -it seems as if they ought to get a little rest from being shot at. This isn’t a new trick of little Helne's at all and 1t is one of his mildest pleasantries. Some of our new men got their first sensation of working under fire.

One day last winter T strayed into | one of the central offices of the Laf- Society in New York and there of the girls who had been dancing the night before, sorting and packing the kits. My pride and con- fidence in our American® women was rewarded, and now it is our oportunity (1 wish’ it was the girls’ also) to sce and hear the gratitude and thanks with which the soldiers receive their personal gifts from America. They are amazed and elated that the Amer- icans think enough of them to send them gifts. The chain is complete from the Bollroom to the Trenches. The American -Clearing House at § Rue Francois Premier in Poaris, was started at the beginning of the War. It is run entirely by Amerfcans and receives all the Amerfcan gifts of all kinds and starts the distribution and we take the packages from the rail heads to the soldiers and distribute to each battalion in turn. Some days ago was our first distri- bution. Company by company the men filed up to the loaded camions. The French captain generally made a little speech explaining that these were personal gifts from American: tc them, seat from America, and hendled from start to finish by Amer- fcans. Could you have onily seen them gathered about in a semi-circle, stocky, hardy, well sct up, well fed oung’ fellows, £erious faced but with | right. smiling eves listening In at- :ntive admiration to their captain. Then their expression of thanks to America as they took their gifts,— candles, sweaters, raincoats, towels, soap. needles, thread, socks, under- clothing, mufflers. gloves, etc., would have amply repald any American who ever made a gift to France. It was wonderful. It certainly is a great pleasure for Nerton's Section to be a link in such a chain and I hope it will be a never ! ending one for the French are surely doirz the fighting for the world. We are also distributing bandares and hespital supplies of all kinds di- rectly to>the hospitals and any gifts sent to Richard Norton,\S. S.

We are in this service—every one of us—to be as much help as we can, and any money you can collect for new cars and repair expenses will help us carry it on. Every wounded man for our cars gets a little pillow put under his head | as he lies on his stretcher while w- slide him into our ambulances, and that pillow stays with him till he gets to his bed. in the hospital. It helps to make him a little less un- comfortable and we have use for all the little \pillows any one sends us— and the¥wounded apreciate them. Ever your, PHILIP MILLS. h Children Live in Barrels. Miss Zofia Naimska, who several months ago went to Poland to inves- tigate conditions there, has returned She made the trip to Poland with the encouragement of a number of well-known women, among them Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee and Mrs. Samuel Thorne of New Yorlk ard Mrs. Hartley Winslow of Califor- nia, the understanding being that on her return a movement would be started in this country to collect funds for the relief of the children of Po- land. Miss Naimska spent filve months in Poland, but before she was permitted to go into the country sne had to wait three weeks in Copenhagen for the permission of the German govern.. ment, and when that was obtained she was conducted hurriedly through the German Empire without being permitted to stop overnight at any piace. Arriving in Poland, Miss Naimska made Cracow her headquarters, Every fourteen days she was compelled to apply for a new permit to prolong her stay, and had a great many other difficulties to overcome before she could get permission to visit the Po- lish territory occupled by the Germans und Austrian armies. In short trips between Cracow‘and Lublin, them occupied by troops, ehe discovered pathetic condi- tions. Lublin, Miss Naismka said is hedged around by ruined villages, while in many places she found whole populations wiped out by typhus, in- duced by bad food. Not far from Lublin she encountered an old man. who was the sole survivor of a large -~~Outside Warsaw she saw peasants’ children living in barrels. -Other youngsters made their homes in trenches which n dug by their parents for the s e of potatoes. At Gorlice, in _Galicia, were many children who had been injured by bombs. In the cemetery a bombard- ment had uprooted coffins and_grave- stones and hurled them about in all directions. Miss Naimska learned that by rea- son of the lack of food the —daalg rate egin- nring of the war has increased 60 per cent. and epidemics had flourished unchecked.
