Meantime of much more importance than imperial interchange stars and crosses is the slowly but steadily developing interchange iscontents between the two governments as to the diplomacy that the war. Austria is growing more and more sure that Germany led matters by precipitating conflicts with Belgium and Great in, and Germany is shifting the blame upon Austria for not to Russian protests, instead of making war against Servia it counting the cost.

Patriotism ll prompt the brave to fight to the death since war has broken out the land is in danger, but it will not induce men to forget the plotting and planning that forced on the war and bungled in job. \ 4 ‘g PAINTED SAFETY LINES. HE purposed safety zones for the use of passengers getting on vor leaving street cars are to be forty, feet long, extending eight feet from the outer rail, and are to be marked by a of white paint eight inches wide. All vehicles are to be for- to cross or to enter upon these zones when any one is standing # Tt remains to be learned from experience how far the painted is going to be sufficient to guarantee the safety of the zone. lines are said to hage been found ample for the purpose in ‘cities, but they are not cities with a street traffic anything like of New York. Asa rule zones of safety are raised a few inches fe the level of the roadway and #0 form an effective physical bar- fr against careless driving. The value of the painted line will de- ed wholly upon the ability of the police to force drivers to pay ition to it. The thing can be done, of course, but for a time it it is going to keep the police busy paying attention themselves. hatiadieesatide bibseemnastaos CONSERVED RESERVISTS.
