Tense national feclings, the overwrought state of the civilized world, the terrible cheapening of life in Furope—all these things are | ¢ working on other brains in this country even as they worked on Holt’s. | Tt now transpires that several steamers which recently left this port | _ found unexploded bombs aboard. In the last week bombs have blown up part of the Capitol at Washington and wrecked a corridor at Police Headquarters in this city. The bomb industry flourishes. Dynamite ‘ ' circulates with appalling freedom. It is a moment—not for nervousness—but for a rallying of such "protective forces as Jaw and government provide. Secret service, po- 3 lice, detectives must realize that conditions call for extra efforts. ag Dange: points must be watched. Persons who act suspiciously should 4 be put under surveillance.

OWERED standards in the Naval Academy at Annapolis appear L to involve something more serious than youthful desire to pass examinations with a minimum of effort. A professor in the Academy testifies that high Government au- ; thority has on occasions adjusted passing marks to enable delinquent "© midshipmen to scrape through. Classes are said to recognize certain members as “anchors”—men with “pull” who can count on influence _ to keep them in standing however they neglect their work. a These charges gravely reflect upon the’ Academy and the Gov- . @rpment which maintains it. Thorough investigation should deter- P mine how far they are warranted. If there is any school in the coun- i try which ought to set an example of earnest work, clean standard and + democratic principle it is an institution which Uncle Sam has estab- lidhed to turn out trained defenders of the nation. “Influence” and “pull” ought to be healthily despised in a national training echool. : We incline more than ever to believe Secrdtary Daniels is right | * and’ that enlisted men with ambition to work—hard and honestly— are needed to leaven the sogginess that seems to have set in at Annap- olis under the appointive system. ait ey Oe VIGILANT NEUTRALITY.

ERTHINE was the only daughter of Nicholas Pichou, the game~ keeper, whose forest cottage was a few miles from the French H city of Rethel. When the Franco-Prussian War began the gamekeeper would not join the other country folk who flocked to Rethel for safety. Instead, he stayed where he was, with his wife and daughter. Twice a week travelled to town for provisions and to tell Major Lavigne, commandant of the local militia, any news he had gleaned about German scouting parties. One snowy evening Berthine and her mother sat in front of their | ‘kitchen fire, waiting for Pichou to return from Rethel. As they waited they heard the tramp of heavy feet on the path outside. A detachment of siz | Prussians stamped in and demanded something to eat. ’ | Berthine hated the sight of a German. Yet now she meekly set about preparing supper for the invaders. In a few minutes she had stewed @ #reat saucepanful of potatoes and bacon for them and had fetched from the cellar a jug of cider to quench the unwelcome guests’ thirst. After the Prussians had finished their meal and were sprawling drowslly in front of the fire, Berthine and her mother went upstairs to their room. Presentiy a shot was heard, Berthine came running down to the kitchen half dressed, her eyes wide with dread. She shrieked to the Prussians: “The French are here—about two hundred of them! If they find you they'll punish us for harboring yeu by burning down our house. Hide in the cellar! Quick! Don’t make any nolse; or we Cnr aire ‘all lost!” A Girl's } As she spoke she lifted the heavy trap door that Clever Trick, } ted down into the shallow cellar. The scared Prussians © scurried through the opening like so many rabbits: into a burrow. As the last man disappeared into the cellar Berthine slammed the trap door and bolted it. ‘Then she leaned back and laughed. The six enemies of her country were neatly trapped. It was she who had fired the shot that had alarmed | them. The trap door was of thick oak, strong enough to resist a battering ram, The only other opening to the cellar was a tiny window covered with ® stout tron grating. As time went on and they heard no sound from above the imprisoned Germans clamored to be let out. A laugh was their answer. They thun- dered on the trap door with their gun butts, The door held firm. Go did the grating. z At last Pichou came home. Berthine heard him coming and called to him not to show himself in front of the grating lest the Prussians fire on him. She told him what she had done; and she sent him hurrying baek |to Rethel to summon Major Lavigne and a company of militia, The militia arrived before dawn, the major at their head. Lavigne ordered the Prussians to surrender. No answer. A militlaman—a fat baker named Maloison—crossed the yard in front of the grating. A Prussian | gunshot sent him to earth with a bullet in his thigh. ' Then Lavigne hit on a clever scheme to conquer the six Prussians without peril or fear of bloodshed. He bored a hole through the trap | door, put oneend of a gutter pipe against the hole and the other end against the nozzle of a cottage pump.
