War between Turkey and Greece has broken out in earnest, and severe fighting has been going on the past few days The Greeks seem to more than hold their own so far. This is a righteous war on the part of Greece, and she will have the sympathy of nearly the whole ciaiHzed world. United States will profit by the war, If it is continued, more than any oth- CT nation. Wheat has already taken an advance In price In consequence. What the result will be Is hard to predict Greece Is far inferior to Turkey in the size of army, but the Greeks have the right on their side, and it is hoped they will come out victorious.

Bank robbers have discovered that the only way to rob banks successfully Is through the open doors, in broad day light. At night strong vaults, bars, bolts, locks, burglar alarms, and electric lights make 1t almost impossible co rob a bank and yet anything for the trouble. But in the daytime the doors are open, the money Is within reach and there are only the lives of a few men between the thief and his booty. It Is easier to kill cashier than to break open a safe.
 Two recent bank robberies, both nota- ble In their way, show that the up-to- date bank robber Is aware of thls. Both occurred this week, one at Yonkers, N. Y., and the other at SomerswoTth N. Fl. And both occurred at the noon hour, the fatal hiatus In the busy banking hours. Al Yonkers the cashier was confronted while so badly frightened that he made no resist- Ance. He lives, but the New Hampshire man who fought gamely for the protection of the valuables In his care. was killed. In both cases the bold robbers got away with considerable booty, leaving few clues to their identity.
 These two recent and striking exploits show the danger of leaving banks in the care of one man during tho daytime when the doors arc open. The throngs in the street afford no protection, The bank should be most carefully guarded at all times and enough men left in charge to bo able to cope with the boldest robbers. It Is asking altogether too much to leave one man alone in the bank at noon. The lesson of these two robberies will not be lost upon bank officials. Post.

Top-Notch of style; top notch of tailoring. No wonder that more and more women buy ready made dresses. Good sense die tates the course. To be sure, there used to be sameness of fab rics and colorings.
 But that is past.
 The ready-to-wear suits to-day are almost as varied as the equal priced dress fabrics by the yard, while the tailoring would cost more by far, if done to your order, than we ask for the completed suits.

The Senators have given three excellent

Donovan is out of the game with toll,
and a substitute catcher, Leahy, is cover

League, but Is doing reasonably fair.

the visitors aldshould be in apple-pie shape,
as he had several days rest. The Senators
have not faced a left-hauder since they have

in connecting with the south-sder 5 shoots
