POLITICAL FORECAST OF NEW
YORK WORLD.
Gives Sixth DiStriC to Senator Zihlman
Because of Personal Popularity.

In political forecast of the Senator
ial and Congressional election for the
whole country the New Yorl, World
Sunday conceded the Sixth Maryland
Congressional district to the Republi
cans. Although the World has Demo
cratic leanings and has backed the Will
son administration through the thick
and thin, the forecast gives both the
Sixth and Fifth districts in this state
to the Republican candidates. Of the
Sixt districth the paper says; "Zihlman
is personally popular and Lewis, who
ordinarily would have an easy victory
has a hard fight. Lewis is fighting
against considerable odds against Frede-
rick N. Zihlman,'' the report states.
The forecast was made after a careful
investigation of conditions by cores
pondents of the paper and with the as
sistance of six other papers.

THE HOME THAT RUM MAKES.
BY SARA ROBERTA GETTY.


Men and boys, who have just begun drinking,
Who take drink and then let alone"
Careless, ighthearted, gay, little thinking
That each reap we've sown;
That the seed which today you so thoughtessIy sow
May bring you a harvest of biterest woe.
Will you go Tor a moment and enter
poor drunkards home. and behold
How the inmates dwelling, the center
Of and privation untold?
This is fancy picture I'm drawing tor you,
There thousands who cry, it is true; it true"
The patched roof in place. is leaking;
Through each crevice the winter winds blow.
See the cold, barren rooms! all speaking
OF the depths of poor drunkards woe!
And the who thus wasted his substance away
Was once loved and respected you today
On the floor the little ones huddled
What questions their frightened eyes hold!
Those babies he fondly cuddled
Now suffer from hunger and cold!
Look faher and then promise God with bowed head
That for this children shall bread!
Do you the poor weary wife bending
Over work she had not known before?
Rubbing sitchingl her abors unending
To keep the gaunt wolf from the door
Oh, husbands you who love your wives stop and think
Will you bring yours this for the sake of a drink?
Oh, and boys who have been drinking.
Stop ere forever late
Lest you into the depths should be sinking
And drunkards sad grave be your fate
Men, work yours and your ghbors boys think
Of the of the thousands who took their first drink!

FOR NAPOLEON AND FRANCE

Lieutenant Larive, an officer under Napoleon, finds himself stationed at point in the south of France close by the home of a near relative. In order to be near him, his wife and two children undertake dangerous jour ney across country, but are waylaid by bandits on the way. In the en- suing conflict the wife dies and the two children, Robert and Rina, are left alone to wander in the forest They are finally found and adopted by kindly peasants and grow to ma turity under their affectionate care After futile search, Lieutenant Lar i've returns to the army and by his reckless bravery attracts the atten- ton of Napoleon.
 Long before he reaches manhood, Robert leaves his benefactors and en- lists as a drummer-boy. Naturally heroic and carried away by ardor and enthusiasm, Robert one day rallies a flying column and turns an almost certain defeat into victory Watch ing form a hill, the Emperor observes the brave action and that night finds the drummer-boy in the field hospital desperately wounded.
 One day Robert is selected by Ma poleon for a lengthy and dangerous mission. Before his departure, he re- ceives a letter from Mme De Longue- vile, telling him of her fatai illness and asking him to call at country chateau for last farewell. Rina catches her brother in the act of read ing the missive and wins his consent to ignore it. Unfortunately, however, the chateau lies on the route of his journey and Robert succumbs to temptation. He is immediately seized and thrown into tower prison. where Mime. De Longueville and Count Darcy gloat over their victim. Meanwhile, Robert finds in the old butler of the chateau former soldier of Napoleon. The aged servant en- ables Robert to escape by a perious climb down the tower of the castle. He hurries to camp gives himself up and tsp romptly imprisoned.
 By trick of fate, Marshal Lalive. his father is president of the court martial. To him Rina goes with plea for her brother, and, in describ- ing the tragedy of their early lives, the Marshal learns their identy Torn by love and duty, he nevertheless sits in judgement upon his son and, the other members of the board, condemn him to die.
 In the morning little band of sol diers lead the stepping figure of Cap tain Robert Larive between them.

To See the Moon.-The death Of Sir
Robert Ball, the famous astronomer
was regretted by every one of the
many thousands who have heard him
lecture, for as a lecturer he had an
unusually intimate and friendly man.
ner that put him on good terms with
his audience the moment he began t.
speak.
His fund of good stories, too, was
apparently limitless. Among the an
cedotes he enjoyed telling was one re-
lating to the time he was at the Dun
sink Observatory.
A working man called to see him one
day, and in reply to Sir Roberts ques-
ton, he said he wanted to see the moon
through the telescope.
Certainly" replied Sir Robert;
"and if you'll come back this evening
I'll be glad to let you use the tele-
scope"
Cant l see it now?" asked the man
in evident astonishment.
No, I'm afraid not" said Sir Rob
ert. You must wait till the evening.
But, lor' bless ye!" exclaimed the
man. Il can see it myself at night
without any old telescope
And he walked off with an air of
great disgust.

ia There is a traditional anecdote OF
Richard Baxter which was popularity
current many years ago in the west of
England. Richard Baxter was born at
Rowstown, in Shropshire, in 1915. When
he lost his wife he published for the
edification of other piOus non-com
formists broad sheet headed Last
Words of Mrs. Baxter" This broad
sheet" had an immense sale, and the
printer shortly afterward brought out
a second and spurious broad sheet,
headed More Last Words Of Mrs. BaX-
ter" Richard Baxter, unable to en-
dure this. then issued a small hand
bill, with the concise assertion, Mrs
Baxter did not say anything else"

A Gentle Reproof.-The governor

A Gentle Reproof.-The governor of
New England state was one time
fishing in the streams Of the Ad-
irondacks, when he encountered a
handsome setter dog, which insisted
on following him from camp to camp.
Later he met a party of men working
upstream with a native guide. The
guide Immediately recognized his dog
"Ha, trying to steal my dog, you -
he shouted at the governor I'll
have you in Jail for this There's
law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city"
The governor endeavored to explain
that he was an unwilling companion
to the dog. which had persisted in
following him, but to little or no ef-
feet, until he had a crisp greenback to
aid him in his arguments.
ITS queer what strange things
happen to q man up here" he re-
marked to the strange driver who
later carried him away from the
woods "That is the first time / was
ever accused of stealing a dog"
Yes, sir" replied the driver sym
pathetically. Then. after moments
thoughtful silence. he continued. "As
for me, sir. | have never been accused
Of stealing anything. g."-Lippincotts.

MOTOR BUS LINE IN ANDES
Runs on Road Along Preclpice With
3,OOO-foot Drop.

A motor bus line put into operation in
Bolivia on April Is, climbs to an alti-
tude above Potosi Of 1900 feet. The
buses or cars, were made in Cleveland
They have 6-cylinder, 60-horsepower
motors and replace coaches that for
many years have been drawn by mules
The road is described as, for ten miles
"skirting the edge Of a precipice hay
ing a sheer drop of 5000 feet" In some
places it is so steep that passengers
Invariably prefer to get out and
walk" Serious accidents have occurred
on this road. 1t is not many years since
coach containing ten passengers and
drawn by six mules went over the pre-
cipice. Says q writer in the Horseless
Age, from which these facts are taken;
The buses will always he operated
at an altitude of 1000 feet or higher.
The city OF Potosi, the terminus Of the
railroad line leading up from the Paci-
fic coast, has an altitude of $4,000 feet
Leaving this city the buses will begin
a climb of five kilometers ca little over
three miIes) and cross the highest pass
of the Andes. at 1900 feet elevation
The average grade from PotoSi to the
pass is II per cent, and there are doZ-
ems of sharp turns. From the summit
there is a gradual descent for over 100
miles until the city Of Sucre, capital OF
Bolivia, is reached. On this portion OF
the route it is necessary to cross sew
eral river beds which are dry during q
dry season of eight months. During
the remaining four months of the year
the service is stopped. The return
trip consists Of steady pull for over
100 miles.
Entirely aside from the revenue de-
rived by the operating company for
carrying mail, the concern expects to
get a big income from passenger traf-
fic. Baggage is to be carried at an eX-
ira cost.
THE track equipment, though identi-
cal from a mechanical standpoint, con-
sists OF two classes. Three of the cars
have bodies of the express type, with
roof, drop curtains and four adjustable
seats to carry eleven passengers. The
fourth Is a de luxe, eXtra-fare car with
three heavily upholstered seats like
those Of a touring car and standard au-
tomobile top. The car is intended to
carry seven passengers.
In addition to the usual equipment
of lamps each bus is fitted with an
electric swiveling head lamp mounted
on the dash. The tire equipment con-
sists of pneumatics with nonskin
trcadS.
In order that the buses may be op-
Grated and maintained in the most eff
ficient manner. factory trained men
will go to Bolivia. When the Sucre-
Potosi line has been established, the
company will start two other lines. one
operating from Cochabamba to Tarata,
Totora and Misque, and the other be-
tween La Quiaca and Tarija.'

THE CANAL IN WAR
The Strategy of Panama as Seen by a
British Expert.

@NRSis'
DR.. Vaughan Cornish lectured re-
Gently to large audience at the Royal
United Service Institution on The
Strategic Aspect of the Panama Ca
nal" Sir George Taubman Golde
occupied the chair. DR.. Cornish paid
visits to the Panama IsthmuS in 1908,
1910 and 1912, and was afforded by the
United States government facilities for
study on the spot as well as being sup
piled with the official publications.
The canal, he said should insure a
proper distribution Of the American
navy on the eve of the outbreak of
and the fleet be already concentrated
there. the canal would be of no further
use during the war. since the naval
power of the United States is based
upon the Atlantic ports. 1t would not,
therefore. be the principal object of at
tack. But in the case of war on the
Pacific it would be the vulnerable part
of the line of communication. In case
al war with Japan it's best protection
is it's remoteness, Panama being 200
miles from YokohOma. There are few
islands in the eastern part of the Pa
CIfic, and they are too far from the
present Japanese possessions to be
suitable for permanent naval bases for
that power. but the Pearl Islands, for
ty-three miles from Panama, are quite
suitable for Il temporary naval base to
be used in an attack upon the canal.
The strategic purpose of the canal,
however is not only for the support Of
the Monroe policy, the defense of the
Pacific states, and of the Philippines.
1t is also to enable the United States
to have Il voice in all that relates to
the future of China. and for this her
navy must be present in force on the
ASiatic side of the Pacific.
1t is an obligation of the United
States under the Hay Pauncefote
treaty, as we'll as her manifest interest
to keep the canal open during Il war to
which she is not Il party, on the same
conditions aS those under which the
Suez canal is operated during hostili-
ties. But ii is not part of the duty of
the United States, even if ii were with
i'm her power to protect the routes of
the canal, and it is therefore import
