If what Germany now wants is gains at any price, the news of which can be posted in big letters in Berlin, no doubt Vaux counts for something in the German plan. What Germany has won at Vaux, however, is not a fort but a position. Of the fortifications only a clutter of ruins remains, Vaux may be av advantageous height on which to post artillery. But it is far from being the last that protects Verdun, ‘The French have still intact a half circle of inner forts, including the heights of Tavannes and Souville, ‘This line is still from five to six miles out-! side Verdun itself, | The French artillery will make every foot of this ground a costly, prize for the Germans, even measured by the etandards of appalling} sacrifice the Kaiser's generals seem to have established for Verdun. | Is it not possible that the French can well afford to lose Verdun! provided they can elowly and deliberately draw on the Germans to a Pyrrhie victory the disastrous cost of which shall not be apparent, until it has been paid?

Is it any longer necessary, particularly on an electrified system, that two trains travelling in the same direction on the same track should ever be so cidse together that only the action of a human eye and hand can even attempt to avert disaster? An automatic block signa) train-stopping device is workable in the subway, where trains run as frequently as anywhere on earth Why, by this time, shouldn’t every electric railway system below, on or above ground have adopted a similar safeguard? ‘The Republican Committee on Resolutions at Chicago has yielded to votes-for-women, Never were “ministering angela” more badly needed.

By Julian Hawthorne. INCLAIR, the book agent, drove from one end of Devonshire to the | other in his peacock-blue cart that was drawn by a tiny gray \ donkey and piled high with books that nobody seemed to care eG about buying. Ho was a sturdy, red-headed fellow, this book agent. And he mightly | enjoyed the gypsy-like life he led, even when he could not interest the Devon folk in the classic literature he peddled. One morning he was driving along a narrow and rutted lane when he saw a team of big horses jogging toward him. Their driver was a giant in strength and size, and he sat on the box of @ wagon as heavy as the car of Juggernaut. The driver made no move to turn out for Sinclair, or even to check the speed of his horses as they bore down upon the tiny donkey cart “Look out!” he bawled. “A‘ll run over thee!” Sinclatr caught up @ book, leaped from the cart, ran forward to meet the team, and violently yanked the horses’ heads to one side so that the wagon lurched tnto the ditch. ‘What did ‘ee do that fur?” bawled the giant, Jumping down from his seat and advancing angrily toward Sinclair, “{ wanted you to buy this book, for one thing,” calmly replied Stnclatr, thrusting the volume under the other's nose, “This book was written by a man named Smolictt” Oar. 1 & vied } He got no further. Knocking the extended volume a acoeenany, into the wayside mud, the driver roared: “That for the book!

But the face was not there when the fist whizzed by.

But Sinclair merely answered: } “First, you must go down on your knees and beg for mercy. Then you must pay me half a crown for the book you solled.” The giant, with a snarl of rage at such impossible pence terms, flung | himself into the battle again.
