There is just as great need of giv- Ing careful consideration to the man- ner in which the state’s funds are spent by the present gemeral assom- bly a8 by any other session. Waste must be zuarded against. There are still the lessons of the past which can- not be wisely disrogarded, apparently giving this consideration the senate has gone on record as fa- vorlng the spending £4,000 for the publication of a souvenir for the members of the present icgisiature. Such is, of course, not a large sum. it will not cause the of any additional taxes and not throw the commonwealth bankruptey but at the same time it means the ex penditur> of money for something which no one would miss if it was not provided. In other words when such A measure is presented it affords an admirable opportunity for money for something w Iy meeded. It can be turncd towards the tendency which appears to exist of increasing salaries and it is to he hoped that when the house comes to vote upon it the appropriation will be killed. It simply opens the way for other bills of the same caliber and it is time that the action of the last gen. eral assembly was made the guide for the present session and all others in the feture. e T THE SUBMARINE MENACE. From the statements which have on made public by Great Britain of late relative to the losses by subma- rines it is quite evident that Secr-tary Lane did not overstate the matter when he declared that the situation which was prosented thereby was Slarming. Such has been voiced by Speakers in the British parliament who have been clamoring for greater ac- tivity against the subsea boats, for e ponservation of food supplies and elimination of excess and waste. 1 is & questign, however, whether the Shutting off of the news regarding the sinking of the vessels by the sub. marines has served to imprass upon the people the real significance of the submarine menace. Hurched together at the end of the week, summarized in a manner which furnishes no detalls, the reported list of €0 mary vessels under 1,600 tons sfink and s many over that tonnage destrored can hardly be cxpected to e-rey home to the people the impor- fant fact that they have actually zot t do something themselves which Wil redvee the amotnt of foodstuffs #nd raaterials which are being secured atros The=c are two ways of combatting this underwater boat menace. One by hunting down the submarines and the ather by making every effort to permit of a reduction of fmports by the ®Bu- ropean allies and both of them, with such improvements as can be made must be exerted to the limit, and the people can be expected to respond to the part which they must play much more rapidly if they are aware of what i actually going on to cause it. THEY CAN PREVENT IT. Complaint 1s made by the people of Germany, according to rcports which come from that country, to the effect that in the recent hombardment of the city of Freiberg by the allied avia- tors sericus damage was done to the anatomy building of the Ludivico Al- bertine university, an institution of which the people of that city are es- peelally proud. This is along the same line nn:l wtt'l:ul protests have been made, althoushrin most instances it St el | partment of the east, a military di- but without | & is the fact that the lives of non-com- Datents have been taken which calls forth the greatest indignation. But ap- parently in this, as in other instances, the Germans fail to realize that the responsibility Hes with their own gov- ernment. In such matters, however, it is usual- b the guilty party which does the most hoMering when he is hurt. Ger- many began the practice a long time ago of violating the rules of war and disregarding the rights of others. It has persisted in such actions through- out the war. The course which it has followed has been an invitation for its enemies to play the same game. The result has been that even thoush they are opposed to such practice and hesitated-long before adopting it, the allies were forced to resort to the same tactica, and the reprisals which have been carried out against German cities which are unfortified are only what they ought to have expected. But there is one thing Which the Germans fall to consider. They know that if they had not indulged in such unjustified actions, such methods of reparation would not have been prac- ticed against them. They are paying the penaity of thelr own misdeeds and should understand by now what is necessary to avoid any repefluon. DEPARTMENT OF THE NORTH- EAST. Vew England is mow a department itself according to the new arrange- mont whereby the war department has broken up what used to be the d slon. of the country, into three di- visions, Mzjor General Wood being sent from the command of the old di- vision to that of the southeast with Charleston, 8. C. as his headquar- ters, Major General Bell being called from his post in the wost to command the new department of the east with headquarters at New York and Briga- dier General Edwards, recontly located in the Canal Zone, assismed to the command of department of the north- east, with his headauarters at Boston. This means that three generals will herceforth, at iast during the period of the war, have char¥e of the auties which formerly devolved upon General Wood. It cannct help being felt that he has heen treated untairly in being sent to his post in the scuth even though it offers large possibilitles for organization work, but thers are raa- sons for believing that the interests of that section have been placed in hiz’ capable hands. It is a decided com pliment to that section of the courntcy to have such a man put in command of the department. New England on the other hand does not fail to appreciate the fact that Brigadier General Edwards is a commander of merit he is not a major general. It is his doc- trine which has been carried out r-ia- tive to the Canal Zone. He has seen service in the fleld, in the war depart- ment and in the organization of the canal defenses and he possesses the qualifications for the successful hand- ling of the new duties for which he has been selected THE MEANING GROWING PLAINER The alarming statements which are being made in connection with the de- struction of shipping by the subma- rines about the British Isles cannot fali to make this country realize that it is actually ip the war. It cannot help, also, to make this nation and every individual thereof realize that fhere must be put forward ever. means within its power to render possible assistance in doing its part, in overcoming that menace and in preventing the realization of the pur: pose of the ruthless submarine war- re. This must be done in many wa Steps haye already been taken to e: tend financial assistance. Our army and navy are ready for defense and the time is coming when they must be prepared to take the offensive. The industries of the country have 2 tre- mendous part to play in turning out the nccessary material for the suc- cessful prosecution of the -var and this applies to most evervthing in the man- ufacturing line even though the pro- duct does not enter directly into the cccumulating of what may be termed war material. There are of course the needs of the transporting lines which arc a vital consideration, and at no time A1d this country ever face the is even though wecessity of increased shipping as it does toda: In addition to these the important problem of feeding the allied nations confronts this“counts It must not only look out for itself but it must put forward overy energy that it pos- sesses to increase its crops and pro. Quce all that is possible that the sur- vius can be utllized abroad. The fact that we are in the war is becoming more apparent each and every day. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Smiles may be the only things which hav: not increased in price but even they are worth cultivating. Those Kansas patriots who are go- ing barefooted thus early may have heard of the closing of a number of shoe factories in Massachusetts. That Massachusetts pastor who re- signed because the United States flag was raised in the choir loft ought to make one more move and leave the country. —— aaa April weather has been nothing to brag about. May therefors has an ex- cellent opportunity for improvement and great hope is entertained in that direction. From the fighting which is now go- ing on in France it becomes evident that all the big and important battles did not take place during the early months of the war. Those Germans who have been de- nied npaturalization papers until the war is over have the satisfaction of knowing that Germany cannot force them into the firing line in Europe. There can be no question but what Americanism s the gulding star of Theodore Roosevelt. He i a fighter and that is equally true whether it happens to be during war or during a political campaign. Instead of threatening reprisals up- on British primoners Germany would put itself in a better light if it prom- ises to obey the rules of war. Great Britain of course has a large numbser of German prisoners also. When a certaln prominent German puts forth in the press of that coun- try a statement which severely criti- cises the imperial German government and which praises the United States and President Wilson, it must cause the German people to realize that there is something wrong in Germany. | SN o~ e oneense!” sald Jimmy's mother as that young man reluctantly de- parted for school. “Of course, you are going to pass the arithmetic eXami- nation!

He was not old, but he scared us just as much _as though he had years behind him—he was that kind.

The Champagne District, where the French are pressing their offensive while the English are making mag- nificent gains against von Hinden- berg’s line in the Arras region, is the subject of the following war geogra- phy bulletin from the National Geo- graphic socfety: “While Champagne no longer exists as a province or department of France, its independent existence under its own counts having come to an end at the beginning of the 1ith centurv, the name is generaily applied to that ter- ritory which now includes the depart- ments of Ardennes, Aube, Haute Marne, Marne, and parts of the Seine- et-Marne, Aisne, Yonne, and Meuse— an area some 130 miles long and 150 miles broad, embracing more then 25,000 square miles. “Champagne derices its name from the Latin ‘campus,’ meaning a country of plains, and reférring to the exten- sive stretches of land in the vicinity of the three important cities of Rheims, Chalon, and Troyes, the last named having been the capital of the ancient province. “During the 12th and 13th centuries the Champagne country was famous throughout western Europe for the fairs held in four of its cities. These fairs, six In number, wers held suc- cessively so that merchants might travel from town to town throughout the vear, thus being provided with continuous markets for their wares. “Of course, the product which has made the name Champagne so famil- jar to all the world is the famous wina imade here.

It was not until the last decade of the 17th century, how- over, that the distinctive sparikiin, effervescent wine was discovered cr ‘invented® by & Don Perignon, who was in charge of the cellars of the abey of Haut Villers for nearly half a century. Pergnon ls also cred- ited Wwith being the first man to use corks as stopers for wine botties. TLike most inventors and discov- erers, Perignon had his trials for there were many people who believed that the new beverage was ‘possessed and that it was the spirit of the Evii One which made the wine seem alive. In those daya from 25 per cent. to 30 per cent. of the wine was lost owing to the breakage of bottles. Now, however, with the use of & finer qual- ity of glass, the loss is not more than 5 per cent. even though the pressure on the retainers often amounts to seven or eight atmospheres — from 10 to 120 pounds to the square inch. “Champagne, unlike some of the other expensive French wines, is not the product of special vineyards, but is made from the grapes grown by numerous peasant proprietors who sell thelr gmall crops to great mercantile houses.
