the men waste them. or if they have to
supply second army after the defeat of
the hrst?' and are the cartridges there or
only in contractors books? Or have they
even considered that they might have to
arm part of the population, the part that
has seen service. and what sort of ar
senals that demand would very speedily
haust? The answers TO these questions
ought to be beyond all reasonable doubt,
but are they? Certainly about men they
are not, for with all the strength of the
government, and it's asserted or real deyo-
ton TO the strength Of the state, the extra
million or so which would make the militia
as efficient as regulars has not yet been
placed upon the estimates, and the second
army of defense to be employed If the first
is defeated is therefore still to seek.
We cannot in peace time be prepared as
if we were at war. 1t is not peace time
We entirely agree with those who object
TO England becoming a military nation or
wasting the resources of her people on per-
petual preparations for war, or resigning in
any way, by CONSUMPTION or otherwise, her
purpose of living as the greatest industrial
state. What we contend is that the pres
ent time is one of danger; that we have
formidable enemies, open or secret; that
with prizes the floor like the Turkish
empire and South Africa we can trust no
one completely; that as yet we have no
dependable ally, and one grand personal
foe and that consequently Great Britain
should, for reasonable time and in rea-
sonable manner, be placed in the position
of a fortress which may be escaladed at
any moment, but which is ready without
warning to repel a foe even if he has scaled
the walls. That is surely not wild am
bition or one which can fairly be described
as dictated either by pesslmism or unreal
sonable dstrust of the great experts. who
are even now showing by their redoubts
upon the Downs that they have more APP
prehenSion than the community has that,
in spite of our splendid and most costly
fleet, an enemy might some day be able to
give us battle in the very heart of the
kingdom. And we maintain that even a
small affair like the collapse of Greece may
give us, if we are wise, a note of warning
which may save us from calamities that
will be none the lighter because we have
never experienced them, or because the
majority of US in our heart of hearts deem
them impossible.

RUSSIA BARS HEBREWS
VIII Not Admit American Citizens of
the Prescribed Race.

Senator Perkins, Of California, has I'M
covered a curious and important complica-
ton involving the rights of American citi-
zens in Russia which he will at once bring
TO the attention of Congress and the conn
try. The senator was called on a few davs
ago by a constituent who has lived in the
golden State for forty years, who informed
him that he wanted to visit his sister in
Warsaw, Russian Poland The senator said
that all that swas necessary was for him 10
so TO the State Department and procure n
passport. which he could do by making the
required affidavit and paying the usual fee
Thereupon his constituent informed SEN
ator Perkins that he (the constituent was a
Jew. The senator then advised him to take
the passport to the Russian minister to this
country and have that official wise it, The
gentleman went TO the State Dep1rtl,arat

ming a political party regarded as in-

forming a political party regarded as in
imcal to the Cars government, and that
therefore the Jews who owe allegiance to
other governments than Russia are not per-
mitted to enter the empire even to visit
members of their own family. Senator Per-
kins intends to introduce a resolution in the
Senate to ascertain why this is so, and why
this government permits a class of its citi-
eminent with which the United States is at
peace, and with which it is and always has
been on friendly terms. The senator re-
CARDS this as presenting a matter for the
consideration of Congress and of the ex-
ecutive quite as important as either the
independence or the belligerency of Cuba.
The outcome will be awaited with interest
by every American citizen.

During the engagements that followed she
suffered less from fear than from fatigue
She shared in all the hardships as well as
the gOries of Yorktown, labored in the
trenches, and in fact, her military career
was full of adventures. but she bore her
self with firmness, resolution and patient
endurance, which are often thought 10 be-
long exclusively to the stronger sex. Mrs
Jackson described the several wounds the
brave woman received, and spoke of testi-
monials given her for faithful duty and
exemplary conduct from her leaders on
returning home, her sex having been dis
covered, she resumed the customary apparel
of her sex. She died in Sharon on April
n, 1927, aged sixty-seVen years. 1T may
truly be said that no parallel TO Deborah
Sampson is TO be found in the annals OF
any nation" said Mrs. jackson, in closing.

10 will surprise many people to learn
that the big European cities ha'a boon

United States, This fact is pointed out by
DR.. Albert Shaw in recent book on the
municipal government IN Europe.
In 1870 Now York had 100, 900 more
people than Berlin. In 1880 Berlin had
outstripped New York Since the German
Franco war the increase in the population
of Berlin has actually been as great as
that Of Chicago. Philadelphia was bigger
than Berlin 80 years ago. Since then 1t
has only grown by half u million, Berlin
by million.
Americans will say that Berlin is exoep
tional; that its growth is due to political
causes. But how are they to explain Ham

pie and Boston 342 600. In 1890 Ham.

A CLERKS BLUNDER.
OrsinGton, Me, Got kts Name Through His
Wonderful Spelling.

As often as once month something
happens III OrTington, Ne, which is OF
enough importance to make it worthy
of mention, and whenever the place is
put III print the name is always spelled
wrong. Most of the time il is called
"Orvington. though "Oyington" and
"Ovvington" are not uncommon. In
fact, the town name Is spelled every
way but the right way. All of this is
due 20 the biunder Of a prominent citi-
zen who used phonetic methods of spell
ing.
1t was nearly l25 years ago that some
Of the leading citizens met and drew
up petition to the general court Of
Massachusetts, asking that the planta-
tion be incorporated as a town. The
people agreed upon the name. 1t was 70
be called Orangetown, partly out of
compliment TO Orangetown, Nd, which
was then thriving place, and partly as
mark of respect to the Prince Of
Orange, who, as William III of Eng
land, had done valiant work in behalf
Of the Professionals. Having signed a
blank petition, the residents went home,
leaving the clerk of the meeting TO fill
in the spaces, which he did faithfully
according to the light which was given
him. OF course the members of the
Massachusetts general court did not
know that "O-r-r-i.n-g" was meant to
spell orange, or that ton" spelled
town. Very likely they didn't stop to
look at the name and wouldn't have
cared if they had seen the bad spelling.
They incorporated the town without
protest and named it Orrington, as the
petition had asked them 10 do. Though
Orrington received its name because an
old clerk didn't know how 10 spell and
though it is the only Orrington in the
world, il gets little credit for being
original, because compositors, proof
readers and careful copyists insist upon
misspelling word that owes its birth
to bad photography. New York Sun.
