WHAT MOBILIZATION MEANS.

Words have different meanings in different countries. When troops are mobilized in the United States, it means simply that the regulars, na' tional guards and, in case of threat ened war, volunteers are massed at certain centers and drilled for &C., tion. Mobilization in Europe means conscription.
 Practically every able-bodied citi. zen in Europe must do service in the army or navy. His name is on the lists and he is ranked and treat. ed as a deserter in many countries if he does not report and keep the authorities informed of his address. When a European ruler issues mob. ilization order, every individual knows at once what to do. Skele- ton regiments are filled out and addi- tional regiments formed. Simultan- eously there is levy of horses. The order reaches into every household; into the factories, the shipyards, the hotels, the farms, river boats-ev- anywhere. Almost instantly the male individuals within the prescribed ages must at once report to the barracks to come under military discipline. Infantry, cavalry and artillery units double and triple at once.
 This is the first step in mobiliza- tion. The second is the transporta- tion and concentration of forces. The railways are seized, the telegraph and telephone systems. Mail, military, aerial and railway services are as- signed. The commissary lines are laid and transportation provided for. With marvellous efficiency the full fighting strength, in front and rear, is made ready and co-ordinated.
 Mobilization in Europe means that industry is at once suspended, every home is touched by the demands of war, the fields are stripped of men and all ordinary occupations cease. Every village prepares for it's dead and injured. Mobilization is the ad- vance agent of death and misery and poverty and suffering and anguish. Mobilization strikes at the very heart and life of European nations.

IN GAELIC QUIES

After a lingerin' an longsuferin' illness,
superinduced by hallucination and pathetic
emaciation, we editors attenuated shadder
departed this life forever. Struck down in
the midst of the pride and flower of its
promising young manhood. The remains
will be inferred in the old family lot, to
rest beside its other ancestral Authorizations.
No more will its sportive presence cheer
and brighten the gloomy, daily uncertitude
of its mourning and crepe-adorned co-work-
ers. No more will its spirit of Joy and en-
thusiasm warm and infect the tagging, and
disconsolate daily life of its companions.
The cruel hand of Fate has snatched from
among US the one bright CLEAN that held us
hopefully to our allotted tasks. But cruel
Fate will not be denied, and its highbrow
staff resign their spirit in humble and SUBJ
missive grief.
The casket, "a waste basket) was shrowd
ed with the "printer's towel" and embow-
cred with posies and lolIipops. Uncles
Gosh and Goshding, Grated the customary
eulogics. Big Chief and Kal sang the
ceremonial hymns.
The palbearers consisted of the Editorial
staff, who followed the bier to the dump,
where the defunct was mournfully con-
signed to its final haven of peace and des-
uetude! Requiescat In Pace!

CHAUTAUQUA SECRETARY'S REPORT

The Circle met in regular session in the
schoolroom Sunday, Dec. 18th; Pres. M.
in the chair.
After roll-calI, the responses to which
were especially good; the secretary read his
quarterly report of the meetings and bust
ness of the circle.
MIR. j. M. was appointed critic for the
current period, and responded by thanking
the president and members for the honor,
and assuring them that he would give the
Circle the best service possible, endeavor-
ing at all times to make his criticisms in
such manner as to be of the greatest benefit
to the members.
Programs for the meetings to be held
wo and four weeks from date were an
nounced.
The program for the day consisted of
two papers, the first by Mr. L. F. on ''In'
dams Have Known;" the second by Mr.
r. c. H. on Face to Face with the Mex.
icans."
Both papers were we'll and carefully pre-
pared, and delivered; and each brought
out a lively and extremely interesting dis
cussion. In discussing the second paper Mr..
K. brought out some facts regarding the
geography of Mexico which where highly
Illuminating in their relation to the present
political divisions of the country; showing
that the division into the Northern, Central
and Southern Mexico are probably more a
matter of geography than is commonly re-
allied in the United States.
The new critics report was very good,
and was greeted with hearty applause. The
Circle has every cause to feel grati6ed at
| securing Mr.. M. for this position, and his
future reports will be awaited with interest.
