FESTIVITY AND THE GENERAL
 NEED.

There are two sides to the move
 ment for the general suppressoin of festivities, such as organization din ners, receptions, and balls, during the continuance of the war. There are two strong arguments in favor ot
 such action, both perfectly obvious
 One. is the sentimental but perfectly
 wise and humane reflection that it
 is callous to engage in conspicuous enjoyment, Haunting our blessings in
 the eyes of the world when such superlative woe afflicts our neighbors and friends of nearly all European lands. The second reason is that it is wanton prodigality to spend mon ey on feasting while there is so much distress, not only among the bellig- erents but in our own country, be- cause of the war. The alternative is proposed of giving all the money to relief funds.
 Teh latter plea is of questionable validity. Festivity is one way of keeping money in circulation. Many thousand people live on it, and a to- tai stoppage of all public entertain ments would add to the army of the unemployed and the seekers after re- lief.
 In endeavoring to adapt themselves to the dislocation of life which is ir- evitable the American public will do we'll to avoid radical courses which only enhance the confusion and dis tress. No doubt it will be the part of good taste and good feeling to curtail flamboyant feasting; but if those who are in position to make economies in private expenditure would seek ways to prevent as well as to relieve poverty their self-denial would be doubly worth while.
 To retain employees even at reduced pay, to give part time work, to make permanent improvements with money saved from the pleaSu erduIn) )k. saved from the pleasure fund, even to buy articles of permanent utility with such funds, so that business and industry may be helped-these are the acts that contribute to solve the problem of present stagnation and to hasten recovery They have the dou- ble effect that both the spender and the receiver of the money profit.
 Naturally this principle can apply in only the most limited way to the embattled peoples. Until the war is over direct relief is what they need, for their glutted hospitals New York Sun.

ENGLAND'S LOYAL COLONIES.

The revolt of some of the Boers in South Africa and their attempt to set up an independent country in some of the Cape provinces may re- suit in lessening the number of South African troops that will be sent to the Continental battlefield, but it is believed that the defection will not be serious nor prolonged. Many mil itary experts and students of colon ial conditions have predicted that England's colonies would refuse to lend her any material support, in case of war with another European power. The record to date has dis counted those predictions.
 Instead of a revolution breaking out in India as soon as England's hand were tied by a European war, all the potentates of that country have show cred upon it spontaneous offers of help in men and money. Instead of a repetition of the horrors of the h. dian mutiny, which had been prophe- sled by Bernhardi, great and timely gifts, marked by an opulence truly Oriental, have been made to wage the war which threatens our imper- ial unity" The news dispatches tell that the Gaekwar of Baroda, one of India's most powerful princes, has volunteered to fight at the head of a native contingent. Another prince has offered thousands of horses, an- other ten thousand men fully equip ped and to be maintained in the field, while yet another has placed his vast collection of jewels at the service of the empire.
 The dispatches say that these dem- onstrations are not confined to the princes. Everywhere throughout h. dia the people are united and enthu- siastic, and so great is the desire among the native troops to go to the front that those unavoidably left be- hind have to be placated with all manner of diplomatic apology.
 Already a large contingent of h. dian troops, going by way of the Suez Canal, has landed in Marseilles, France, and another, crossing the Pa citic and Canada, has sailed from Quebec and will soon be in France.
 In Canada and Australia the re- sponse to the aid of the empire was spontaneous and manifested itself in many ways. The Canadian parliament voted $5O,OOO,O00 to England in the war, and the call for 10000 volun- teers was, answered by 100000 men, of whom 30,000 are said to have al- ready landed in France and 30,O00 more are being trained near Quebec
 The province of New Brunswick learning that England would be short of food, has sent 100000 bushels of potatoes, the spontaneous gift of the farmers; and the farmers of Prince Edward Island, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, have sent 100000 bushels of oats to help feed the cavalry horses of England's army. The wom- en of Canada, in sewing circles. are raising enough money to buy and equip a hospital ship to send over for the use of England's wounded.

Kaiser Makes Advance At Ypres.

PARIS, Nov. 10-The German army commanded by the kaiser, which has been attacking Ypres for several days, has made considerable gain, forcing the allies to give ground. The German force is concentrated at Ypres in an effort to break through to the coast. The allies line has given ground but has not broken and it still blocks the path of the enemy. The losses to the Germans by the frontal attacks they have been forced to make have been heavy. It is esti- mated that 30,OO0 men were killed in yesterdays fighting about Ypres.

Russia May Not Invade Germany.

 LONDON, Nov. 10.-A dispatch from Petrograd received here last night indicates that the Russian gen. eral staff may defer the invasion of Silicia until the historic mission is fulfilled" This is taken to mean that Russia plans the subjugation of Austria and Turkey, which has been the aims of Russian diplomats for a century. It is believed the full force of the Russian armies will be sent against the Austrians in Galicia and Hungary, and against the Turks, so that the Black Sea may be free from Turkish attacks.

 Turning Point of War Reached.
 It is generally believed here by military experts that the turning point of the war will be reached this week. It is pointed out that in the past three weeks the Germans in France and Belgium have not been able to gain a foot although con- stantly attacking the allies positions, while on the other hand the Rus sians have beaten the German-Austro forces in the Eas+ so that the out look for Germany is bad. Unless the kaiser's troops can reach the coast shortly his plans will all be upset and the powerful German military machine will be crushed between the Russian and allies armies.

has been such a demand from exposi-

1T would be a good plan to organize
an International suffrage exhibit, which
can be kept together permanently and
sent from fair to fair, including the

was adopted by US. The exhibit will
