Is to be gained through infer ence an idea of the state of af- fairs in France. and not only what is possible, but what is expected. It Is an admission. that the German army is not being checked, hopes and the lack of news to the contrary not withstanding.
 It is one, significant step which dis closes. the preparations which are be- ing made for the defense of the city, before which one memorable siege took place, and which is admitted to be much more strongly fortified today than on that occasion. As the objec- .tice point of the Germans, Paris is likely to see tremendous struggle before it is taken by force.

CHANGING THE CAPITAL.

The change of the seat of the French government from Paris to Bordeaux speaks for itself as to the realiza tion of those who actually know the con- ditions as they exist in France to- day It is the third of the capitals of European countries which have been moved in consequence of the in- vasion of foreign armies. Servia was the first to make such a step in the abandonment of Belgrade and then as the waS progressed Belgium real ized the futiIity of endeavoring to de- fend Brussels and changed the capi- tai to Antwerp. Now France in the removal from Paris is acting on the side of safety, for while Paris is a great fortress the government can operate with greater freedom outside of a hesieeed city and such is the portended fate of Paris,
 The importance of making the shifs and doing 1t while there was time made it advisable at once and from this step as well as the steady for ward movement of the Germans

Today the theatrical profession Is huge industry in which more than s100,000,000 is invested. There are in the United States over 5000 theaters, not counting the 21,- 900 or more moving picture theaters or circuses. and halls for general entertainment. It has been esti- mated that during a good theatri- cal year there are more than 25,- 900 actors and actresses declaiming, trilling and dancing before the American people. One of the mod ern features of the profession is the travelling company, of which there are nearly 1000. The esti- mated value of the 5000 theaters is nearly $40, ,0oo,00o while it re- quires s20.000,0 900 annually to pay the players salaries. About ESQ.,
 100000 is distributed among the thousands of theater employees, for transportation, advertising, and to defray the cost of producing the plays. Today as a class actors and actresses are no longer generally considered pariahs of society. The most exclusive society circles have been opened to admit them, and there are instances where men and women of noble birth have given their social station for a career on the stage. Even clergymen have deserted their pulpits for the boards, while actors have abandoned the spotlight to take up careers in the church. Stars of the theatrical realm. as well as the lesser lights of the chorus, have sung and danced their way into the ranks of royalty and the nobility, not to mention the multi-millionaire set. Kings have granted them patents of nobility and learned societies and institutions have decorated them with medals and scholastic degrees.

1---.---- U THEN--and--NOW.

One hundred and sixty two years ago today the first theater in the United States was opened in the colony of Virginia at old Williams burg. The originator was an Eng fish actor. William Hallan. Sr.. who brought his own company from overseas and presented '"The Mer- chant of Venice" as the initial per formance.' The idea spread rapidly, and soon New York, Philadelphia and the other leading communities of colonial America each had their theateres. At the close of the cen tury, theatres were open in the capitals of nearly all the thirteen original states. While the Virgin ian play house was the first in the United States, actors had played in the colonies before this date. The first is said to have been the Eng fish strolling player, Anthony As- ton. who was known as Mat Med ley. The actor and his art of that day was generally despised by the puritanical colonists. The Massa- chusetts legislature passed a law shortly after amateurs had given ''The Orphans at the Coffee House in Boston in 174s, which forbade, such performances, attaching pen atty for actors and spectators alike of pounds sterling each. The op- position in Philadelphia was so great that Hallam was compelled to build his theater in 1759 out side of the city proper, in a dis trict then in disrepute and known as Southwark, or Society Hill" Even then vigorous efforts were made to close the theater. A pe- tition was addressed to Judge Will liam Allen. who refused to act, de-. claring that he had obtained moral lessons from attending the theater than from any sermons he; had heard in church.

WHITE MOUNTAIN RESERVATION

The determination by the govern ment to add to its reservations in the White mountains by the purchase of Mt Washington and the presidential range is a continuation of the move ment for the preservation of great natural beauty spots and parks, the conservation of the forests and the protection of the rivers through the effect which such large forest reserves have upon the rainfall.
 Though the deal involves about -tree-duarters of a million and yet
 requires the approval of the commits sion efs forest reservation, it will be readily recognized as a most worthy use of the funds which are available for this purpose. With what has been previously purchased by the govern ment in the White mountain region this additional purchase over twice as large as the earlier acquisition. will insure the government control of prac- tfcaIly 120. GOO acres of forests, lakes and mountains.
 When the deal receives the required sanction. 1t will mean the completion of an undertaking which has been underway for the past eleven years but it is an accomplishment which means much for the future interests of the country as well as meaning the preservation of one of New England's delightful wooded mountain sections
 Tn these days when watsrpower is given it's riEhtful value sfeht carno+ be lost of the great contribution which such forest reservation and it's per- petuation Is bound to give to the riv- CTS which have their sorrre, or val uable auxiharjes in that region.

PROTECTIVE UNIFORMS.

The value of being prepared has been emonstrated on many occasions throughout the present war. This has been noticed in the advantage of ad- vance information eerinment are modern methods of warfare.
 Tn one particular at least there is a decided contrast between the arrrr Of Germany and that of France ana such concerns the uniforms. The inn portance of keerfre the enen,u in ie- norance of the position of the forces ie rArersarv for the army as for the navy, where the color of the shins l. chanFea in case of war. Experiments have shown that the uniforms of khak' or olive drab provide mask for the troops which makes their detection less easy and thus affords a desirabl. advantage. The flaming dress in war of earlier days has given way to 8 recognition of the value Of protective coIors and <such means getting the uniforms as near as possible to the natural surroundings.
 Although most of the nations have adopted such. a change, France has not, and the red trousers of her troops makes each individual a tar- get. while the German troops have no such distinctive mark. Early this year France became convinced of the value of the protective eo'oring~ and found that IS months would be re- uuired to make the change and the war opened with the old uniforms in use and they have served as just the handicap that was realized but which has not been corrected. Frances pen atty is lesson in procrastination.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
HUMAN INSTITUTIONS.

Human institutions last about so long. Then they topple. That is his tory. Have you read the stories of Caesar and Napoleon and their em- pires? If so, never fear about mili- tary preparedness; it will grow so monstrous some day that it will just naturally go to pieces.
 Also don't lose any sleep over the growth of the trusts. Secretary of Commerce Redfield, in his last annual report, made some common sense points that ought to cure our hysteria for statistics. He said, in substance that:
 There is limit to the efficiency of

large combinations. Economies of
 management do a good deal to reduce
 the cost of production; and a large working capital should make it pos i sible to adopt the most progressive
 methods of production. But after a
 point. the organization begins to lose
 that alert personal quality which is the essence of commercial success" In other words combination is auto matically "self-busting," either by stimulating independent competitionJ or by arousing public antagonism, or
 by accommodating boneheads and sons
 of boneheads in it's management, or
 by simply getting too heavy for it's l feet of clay. = "The present rate Of increase' in anything is not eternal After awhile 1t develops its own cure.

said: Prayer is patience" Too many persons in addressing the throne of grace make you feel it is their will which should prevail, not His will. So of earthly masters who in their love of power and disregard for human life are monsters, why should they expect the Divine Master to aid them in their savagery? The only way to get their prayers answered is to work to re- move from among men the cause of war. Wheoping 'er up for war and praying for peace is idiotic.

POsT-VACATION REFLECTIONS

(Written Specially for The Bulletin).
 The best part of a vacation is the getting home.
 This We decided in family sympo- sium last evening, sitting onthe cool, well screened piazza and recalling oul Summer experiences.
 Most of us take vacations as wt used to take the doses of Spring anC Fall medicine given us by our mothers because they are good for us. They are good, from many standpointe although we do a lot of grumblins about them, before and after. A part of my own fortnisht's outing was spent in a shore town, whero everything smelled of clans, where the strand was strewn with old broken lobster pots, superannuated Seines battersd, paintless boats and rubbish generally Now, I have a well devel- oped bump of order; the untidiness of the average beach annoys me and sub consciously I wondered why% a wise Providence did not send a cleansing bolt of lightning to set fire to the whole unsightly mess. But when, on | the following morning, I saw two city artists sketching the gy-smellins collection, I realized that even rubbish had its purpose in the general scheme of existence!
 The two boys of our household spent their allotted fortnight on a hunting trip in the woods north. By nature, Jack is only semi-tidy; Jim is the pinh of neatness. Therefore the entire household exclaimed when, on their return last evening, careless Jack pc titioned, "Qh, mother! Can't I have some of your best linen sheets to sleek in? And, Muzzer, please throw c handful of that nice. smelly stuff you got Christmas into the water for my bath!" (meaning a dainty mixture o1 orris and smooth. green soap-)
 Jim disclosed that there was a reason! They had made their head quarters at a delapidated farmhouse. the owners of which were rich but miserly old couple, childless, but sav- ing no one knows what for. When the cleanly- bred youths went to bed in the musty, unaired, cobwebby spare room,' they found that the mice had been in the bed first!
 Of course, the well on the place was dry: country wells have such a chronic habit of running dry in Augusti The old lady only washed her hands when she worked the butter. She looked at least forty years younger when she wore her false teeth; but these she generally carried in her pocket and could not always find in time to slip them in, when a stranger or the min ister came to call.

WHAT TURKEY GAN DO.


 It is impossible to be1ittle the pari which Turkey can play by entering the war. though much depends upon the programme which is adopted as to just what will result from her entrance into the arena. Even though the pres tige of Turkey was greatly lowered as the result of the Balkan war, it is nevertheless in position to create much trouble with it's forces on land and sea.
 Britain was extending much assistance to Turkey for the purpose of keepine Russia from the Mediterranean, but the financial and other aid which has of late been extended by Germany has apparently weighed sufficiently heavy to cause it to abandon it's declaration of neutrality and no surprise will be caused by Turkeys early declaration of war.
 It is not to be supposed that any move which Turkey might make has not been anticipated by Great Britain for its interests in Egypt and the Suez canal are too great to permit o1 being surprised. Russia likewise haf sufficient reserves to take care of g Turkish invasion without drawing upon its army at the front while the complications which would follow the probable moves of Greece, Italy ane the Balkan states mean much te southern Europe. Not only does this lie within the power of Turkey te foment, but it's power to cause a ''hol5 war; and an uprising of MohaInme- disrn against Christianity offers stil worse possibilities. Thus great re- responsibilities rest upon not only Fur key at this time, but upon those Nhs are urging her into the conflict.
