VENUS DE MILO SAFE.

Lovers OF art are rejoicing over the
news that Venus De Milo is now hid
den safely In a steel vault somewhere
below the surface Of the earth. Other
choice works OF art also have been
stored away from the. Devastating
force Of war.
The Venus OF MILO was consigned
to an up-todate steel safe. warranted

Victory Of SamOthrace. more bulky
but equally valuable, was taken TO a
cellar with walls ten feet thick in a
endorsement OF the Louvre. The
Mona Lisa no longer smiles from her
place In an upper gallery. She has
disappeared for the second time, but
the authorities are well aware Of her
new hiding place. Along with a doz-
en- or more "old masters" her enig-
matical smile is yelled in the dark
ness on a safe that in times OF peace
is used to protect prosaic hanknotes
and official records.

at New York rise the yellow tunnels
of the huge German liners that have
been tied UP there eyer since the be-
ginning Of the a Within a pistol
shot of these ifeles ships arrive and
depart the great ocean liners flying

commerce Of Germany has disappear
ed from the face of the waters as COM
pletely as if it had never existed, and
that without the German navy having
struck a blow to protect it.
This German naval inactivity we
have been asked to explain by several
correspondents. We can best do this
by mentioning some possible reasons
for not sending the feet out to fight
with the British Ships. A naval de-
feat, which may1reasonably be ex-
pected even by the most patriotic
German, would have a most democrat
iZing effect upon the people Of the
Fatherland and the armies. The peo-
pie have always looked to the army
as their main reliance. If that can
not succeed they are lost. Not even
a naval victory Would avail them

SLAMS pouring in UPON the German cap
ital from the other. A naval victory
would do Germany little good at pres
ent unless her land arms succeed. If
she should be able to conquer the
Allies in France and beat back the
Russians, then a naval victory might
mean the invasion Of England. Even
if she had no Ultimate intention Of
invading England, after winning On
land, Germany would be in a position
to awaken the possibility of the sue
cess of such an invasion, and the bare
possibility Of such success, with the
armies OF the Allies smashed, would
be a potent factor in affecting the
British attitude toward the terms OF
any treaty concluding the a A land
victory now, followed by peace, would
leave her with a navy second only to
that Of Great Britain, but if her navy
were destroyed before her land vic
tories she would be without a navy
at the conclusion even OF a peace that
might bring her additional territory.

lkAY OF SOLDIERS.

The French troops are paid a cent
a day. German p~rivates get about
six cents per diem for hurting their
bodies against the cannon's fire. Bel
gian troops are paid about the same
and Tommy Atkins pulls down about
$91.25 per year.
OF course the government finds
'bed' and board for their defenders,
but when one fights in the continent
al armies he either does 80 because
forced or prompted by patriotism.
Certainly there is little hope Of mate
rial reward. The pay Of the war lords
Is much higher and their chances Of
getting killed proportionately less.
Commenting upon pay Of soldiers
Major Crawford has made the follow
ing interesting comment:
These are base pays-that is, the
pay at which the men commence. To
state what increases they receive for
continued service would extend the
scope Of the matter unnecessarily.
These pays are over and above ra-
lions, quarters and clothing. This Of
fce has no data relative to the navy,
hut It is safe to assume that, class for
class, the pay Is about the same in
both.
1T must be remembered, In using
this statement, that the soldiers Of
the United States and Of England are
obtained under very different condi.
lions from those OF the countries
where military service is compulsory.
In the United States and England,
military service 10 voluntary, and
those governments have to enter the
market and pay what the class Of
abiltty they want is worth there. In
the other countries military service Is

MEDICAL SOCIETY NET
Medical Men Of Sixth District
Discussed N. D. Marriage Law
and Other Topics.

A meeting Of the Sixth District
Medical society Was held last Tues
day evening, at the Commercial club.
There was a good attendance OF
members, the following being pres
emit: DR.. p. p Rice, Cannonball,
president; Drs. w. B. Foster and II.

O. Ramstad, F. r. Smyth, F. B.
Strauss and c. F. Stackhouse, Of Bis
marck.
DR.. v. H. stickney of Dickinson
was also present as a visitor.
Discussed Marriage Law.
The marriage law Of North Dakota,
requiring a medical examination and
certificate OF fitness by a licensed
physician, Of the parties interested,
was discussed.
1t was shown that some OF the re-
quirements Of the law were impossi-
BILE to fulfill and that, although the
law was a step in the right direction,
an epileptic, for instance, by going
to a physician not acquainted with
the medical history of the applicant
could secure a certificate that he or
she was not afflicted with epilepsy.
An effort will be made to have the
form Of the blank changed 20 that a
fuller history Off the applicant can
be given.
DR.. II. P. Quain gave a very inter
esting talk on his recent visit to Eu-
rope and described the work that
was done at the different clinics in
the various countries visited. He
spoke highly of the hospitality OF the
most prominent European surgeons
to the visiting surgeons irons this
country and told Of the elaborate en-
~tertainments provided for them.
DR.. p. P. Rice read an interesting
paper on work among the Indians
and the conditions affecting a govern
ment physician in the Indian Service.

BIsMARCK's DREAM.

Bismarck's dream-will 1t come
true?
His hope was TO make Germany
the mightieSt nation in history and he
left as a legacy to the rising genera
ton a prophecy Of great things for
the Vaterland.
Under the leadership OF Prussia,
Germany became a nation in 1871,
just forty-three years ago. No nation
has shown greater progress In less
than half a century. The imperial
power has grown not alone through
militarism but also through paths OF
commerce and culture.
1t is mere twaddle to say that civ
ilization will recede II Germany is
victorious. There will be merely a
mighty shift In the balance Of power
and the lamps Of progress will burn
as brightly as before.
The spirit Of Bismarck has largely
been the momentum behind Ger
many's progress. German education
has subordinated everything to the
practical. 1t has turned out scholars
capable of making commercial as well
as literary triumphs.
There has been a mighty co-opera-
ton between Industrial, academic
and military Germany. These units
in the Empire have worked effective
ly to bring about a realization Of Bis
marck's dream.

RHEIMS CATHEDRAL.

Become an undistinguishable roar.
This picture Of peace surrounding
those historic c~athedrals, whose
spires guided weary travellers cen
turtles ago and offered solace to the
unfortunate; refuge to the pursucd
and hope to the despairing, Is today
rudely shattered by the shrek OF the
shrapnel and the clash of cold steel.

lines, he drew a picture of perfect
solace within those walls, far from
the turmoil and tumult Of strife.

shell is left to mark the centuries
of toll that reared them.
The destruction of the cathedral
at Rheims has caused considerable
indignation. 1t is but one OF the IN
cidents of war and probably more
historic places will be RACED before
the terrible struggle is finished. War
Is a respecter of nothing. With lives
held cheaply, how can it be expected
that property will escape the can
mons scourge.
or all the c%athedrals Of Europe,
that of Rheims Is the richest in
sculptured decorations. It was start
ed early in the thirteenth century
and was one Of the most perfect ex-
amples of Gothic architecture.
This cathedral was often referred
to as the Church 'of the French
Kings" because for centuries the
monarchs Of that nation were crown
ed beneath it's spires.

with a season Of heavy work ended
the citizeno' associations OF the District
are smiling happily over the success that
has met their efforts along many lines.
A long list of reforms, righted grievances
and long-needed improvements can be

A wider use of the school buildings for
social and community purposes has been
one of the things strongly recommended
by the associations during the past year.
This detail has been considered in Con-
gressional legislation, and during the
next year the school buildings will be
available for certain purposes by others
than the pupils and teachers.
More careful attention to the health in
spections has been one of the requests
made for District betterment. As q re-
suit there Is a clause in the Senate bill
providing for four new woman inspec-
tors for the homes Of Washington. These
inspectors look for unsanitary conditions
in the city. but will also be sufficiently
trained in domestic science to give help
