Should Newspaper Articles be Signed2

The impersonality of the newspaper
writer gives his opinions on undeserved
weight. Impersonality has advantages
in the courageous utterances it inspires !;
but it also deceives. If DR.. A. pub
fishes his views upon disease Of the
the eye, if Dr. z. puts forth his theory
opinion of an expert; and 50, if DR.. z.
discusses eyes and DR.. A. treats of
livers, we know that each is out of his
speciality, and we judge him accord
ingly. But newspaper concentrates
the gifts of many contributors, and thus
gradually gives the impression of nav
ing accumulated vast stores of knowl-
edge and experience, ready for use
at any moment. In reality, the old
writer's may be gone, new editors nay
control, or given article may be the
product of such personal prejudice as
if known, would excite contempt. In
the work of a great satirist, there is q
cartoon containing three figures walk
ing in single file. First struts off a
mass of clothes; secondly, naked
figure I; thirdly, that same body, with the
clothes on. The first is called Rex
the second Ludovicus the third and
stateliest is Ludovicus Rex land it is clea,
that to the making up of this final and
impressive Ludovicus Rex, the "Rex'
constitutes quite as imposing part as
the Ludovicus-the gorgeous trappings
as the pitiful little man. So it is with
the journalist and his surroundings
Stripped of the mysterious corporate
character which hides him, and with the
"impressionality unmasked, the writer
of slashing article might dwindle il
Importance, and his utterance, now So
sonorous and grand, might be very
much like the word of any other among
a thousand citizens; for nomatter how
big the trumpet, it is only man that il
blowing.-Ihe GALAXY

The French Military System.

France is putting herself in military
order after the Prussian model. The
catastrophe of 1870 was great educa-
tor. There is a fine lad of seventeen in
my pension who has been helping
me with my correspondence. He talks
English, and yesterday hesaid, Unjust
now go to my professor. 90 Your Pro
lessor, Armand; how is that?'' * Why,
you see, when [ am nineteen I go into
the French army, under the law passed
after the war, by which all of our
young men must serve five years, unless
they show themselves qualified IN. GER
tain branches of education, as history,
geography, arithmetic. If they are up
in these, they need only serve one year.
I have my teacher an hour every day,
and [ feel sure of a good number and an.
early and honorable discharge for supe-
riority in history, geography, algebra,
and the natural sciences Ii [ prove
proficient in these branches, 1 serve
only one year; SO am working to get
the other four years to myself" Tt is
unnecessary to discuss the advantages
OF such a system In military power.
The government secures good soldiers
and intelligent citizens at the same time.

First The undersigned announce the fol-
lowing as the result Of the conference between

the state of Louisiana:

sonance with, and permitted by, the existing
laws of the state.

Committee of the Conference

A Remarkable Accident.

The Philadelphia Bulletin states that
an extraordinary accident occurred at
Conshobocken few days ago. The
towns supplied with water pumped from
the Schuylkill river into D reservoir
placed upon hill. Thecost of the
works was 1915, 900. The keeper of the
gate reports that on Mondy night the
reservoir was in good condition, and
apparently capable of remaining SO for
several centuries to come. IN tuesday
morning he discovered tha very re-
markable accident had ocmred. Part
of the southern embankmelt had sunk
out of sight, leaving holeabout thirty
feet in diameter; and as th wall OF the
reservoir had disappeared, the water
had vanished with it, with tie exception
of about one and half fe,t in depth.
Inspection showed that pat of the en-
bankment had dropped stiaight down
ward about twenty-five feet, and upon
looking into the hole the top OF the bank
with the fence and the sod was dlscov-
eEs sS n ct ths hsd huge 81 the
rock, down the side of which the earth
had slipped. But the most remarkable
thing about the accident was that no
water could be found in the hole There
were more than one million gallons in
the reservoir at the time, and almost
the whole Of this had disappeared ut
terly. What became Of this body
of water nobody knows. AS the
region is of limestone formation, it
conjectured that the country is u1der-
laid with great caves, into one of which the
water Of the reservoir has disappeared.
Evidence of the existence of such aves
has been observed at different times in
the past
