London.-That the German army Is
between Furness and Dunkirk, and
nearing the latter place, which is on
the English channel, less than fifty
miles from the coast of Dover, is the
report that reached the war ministry
Sunday.
Heavy firing has been heard at
Dunkirk since eight O'Clock this morn
ing. Severe fighting is taking place.
boats are being used in the canals" :"
This is the text of a dispatch from
Dunkirk to the Daily Mail.
Two important successes in the bat
tie for Dunkirk and Calais, for the
possession of which the Germans are
striving. were credited to the allies in
the official communication issued in
Paris. The French were said to have
rebccupied Armentieres, an important
railway junction on the Belgian from
tier northwest of Lille. and to have
repulsed an attempt of the Germans
to cross the river User, which flows
through that little corner OF west
Flanders which Is all OF Belgium which
remains in Belgian hands.
The battle which eliminated In Ar
mentieres again coming under French
influence lasted for week, during
which the fighting was hard and con
tinuous. The town was seized by the
Germans last week, owing to its i'm
portance as railway center, lines di-
verging from it in all directions.

that line and Arras and at certain
points between Arras and the Disc.
The claims in the French official
communication are taken here to
mean that the German movement
westward has been checked.

Daddy; 5 Beddr11e
~ The Little
OfOYV@ Old Lady and
- - Her Pet Monkey.

% CD there was an old lady" said daddy, "who lived all alone.
"She wasn't particularly fond Of animals. q she had no pehs.
and she had spent so nuch Of her life away fUm people and with
out many friends that she had grown to like her lonely life and
had no wish for anything different !, .. .
"This old lady lived In a small village, but it was near a big city, 90 nN
and then, though not very often, the old lady would go into the city TO do a
little shopping. Even the shops didn't interest her much, and she was always
rather bored by her city days ","
"Rut one day she was In the city and passed by a shop In which were
dogs and monkeys One monkey happened to strike her fancy. AT once she
went into the shop to- ask If it was for sale. #%.
"Oh, yes" said the shopkeeper. Al the animals are for sale
"Then' said the old lady, 4 would like that monkey
"Do you mean this marmoset monkey? asked the shopkeeper.
Yes replied the old lady; that's the one I want and the only one'
$50 the shopkeeper put the monkey in a large cage and asked the old lady
where to send him to.
: "'Oh' said the old lady, I won't have it sent! TIL order q cab and take
the monkey along with me-
$50 the cab was ordered, and the old lady set forth happily with her pet
She named him Niles. He was only seven inches long and had q curly tai.
He ws a very dark gray color. He proved to be a most expensive pet for
he liked all the most delicious fruits and would only eat his bread and rice
when plenty of rich cream was put over it.
NOW, the old lady did not know what kinds Of toys to have for him, rs.
you See, she'd never had any pets before. She found a few things that had
once been used on a Christmas tree, and she gave these % Niles. What fas-
them. Niles jumped up in her lap and began playing with them.
when the old lady saw how fond Niles was OF jewels she took out her
jewel box Niles had the most glorious time playing with it's contents. He
decorated himself with all the beads and chains and bangles and looked at
himself in the mirror. He shook all over, for he liked the noise as well as
the glitter of the jewels -
$50 the old lady vas very very happy with her pet monkey. Niles was
delighted with his lev home and his new mistress, for he had never had
jewels to play with in the animal shop" ~ /

SECURITY AGAINST PANIcs.

washington has announced that all
but 500 of the $500 national banks
have accepted the conditions of the
new currency law" says the Minneap-
oils Tribune. by the end of this week
it is unquestioned that practically tho
whole number will have done so. What
does this mean, in the light of the dole
full predictions that hundreds upon
hundreds would surrender their char
ters?
"One thing 1t means is that fear of
the law was over-estimated. The bill
was never so bad as many bankers
protested to believe and really did be-
lieve: The worst that could be said Of
it at any time was that it threatened
to make a national charter Improbable
in 1t might once have been
u~nwelcorne; but It was never confis-
catory.
Another thing that must be said,
however, is that the bill as it has be-
come law is materially better than
when it passed the house. And we
must be honest with ourselves; it was
chiefly the bankers who made 1t bet
ter. The larger institutions, with good
will inextricably bound up in such
am as First National Bank might
have been compelled to accept the
terms Of q poor bill. But the smaller
ones would not have been SO compelled.
When SO per cent Of the banks signify
their purpose to keep their charters, 1t
is obvious that the value of those char
ters is not substantially assaulted.
The chief gain Is that a safeguard
has been found against such panics as
that which worked wanton and un-
justifiable hurt in 1908. The country
is secure against that menace at last.
In the credit for this progress the
banks share with the officials Of gov
eminent. But it is only simple justice
to say that the latter have earned the
larger share"

REAL MEXICAN CRISIS.

1t is apparent that the government
at Washington faces the gravest situa-
ton with which Wilson has yet had
to deal in Mexico. The brutal slauSh"
ter Of a British subject by Villa brings
about a. real crisis and one that may
yet cause armed Intervention by the
United States.
Wilson has taken a very high stani
in@his dealings with Mexico, and has
had remarkable success in curling the
'iingoes' in America and in the hard
r task of p~lacating the nations of
Europe who find it hard to understand
the high sentiment back Of Wilson'S
policy of hands Off"
Villas act in killing Benton has
brought things "to a head however
and the country and the world will
watch with interest how Washington
will handle the affair. Bryan has
stated that an investigation will be
made at once and today's dispatches
to The Forum will probably bring some
definite news Of what is to be done.

On the PhiIjnnine Islands.

What is perhaps the most important
work on the Philippine islands ever
psSbEjshed is Dean c. Worcester's The
Philippines, Past and Present, which
comes from the press this week In two
volumes. Mr.. Worcester was secre-
tarY Of the interior Of the islands from
1901-1913, and a member Of the Philip
pine commission for a like period. 1t
may, therefore, be confidently assumed
that he is thoroughly familiar with
conditions there. With these condi-
tons. with the actual state of affairs,
it Is his belief that few people in this
country are acquainted.
During my brief and infrequent Wis.,
its to the United States" Mr.. Worces-
ter says in his Introductory chapters,
Il have discovered widespread and
radical misrepresentation as. t. the
Philippines, but I have failed to find
that lack Of interest in them which is
commonly said to exist On the con-
trary I have found the American pub
lie keenly DESTROYS of getting at the
real facts whenever. there was an op-
portunity to do So"
"The preponderance Of false and
misleading statements about the
Philippines is due" Mr., Worcester
goes on to say. primarily to the fact
that it is those persons with whom the
climate disagrees and who, in con
sequence, are invalided home and
those. who are separated from the
service in the interests Of the public
good, who return to the United States
and get an audience; while those who
successfully adapt themselves to local
conditions display interest in their
work and become proficient in it re-
main in the island for long periods
during which they are too busy and
too far from home to make themselves
heard.
-"I am now setting forth nay views
relative to the past and present situa-
tion, in the islands because I believe
that their inhabitants are confronted
by a danger graver than n which
when their fate Wavered in the bal
ance, while. the question whether fhe
United States should acquire sover-
eighty over them oor should allow
Spain to continue to rule them was
under. consideration. 1t is my pur-
pose to tell the plain, hard truth re-
CARELESS of the effect OF such conduct
upon my future career. . i. . It is
my intention to. correct some of the
very. numerous mis-statements which
have been made concerning past and
present conditions in the Philippines.
~. !. AS a new administration is be-
slowing on Filipinos political Offices
aud giving the opportunities for which
they are yet utterly unprepared. thus
endangering the results OF hard, patti
ent, self -sacr1ficing work performed
by. experienced and competent men, It
becomes, necessary to strike home re-
vealing unpleasant facts which are OF

VEAL AND COST OF LIVING.

That the slaughter of calves con
tributes TO the high cost of living Is
the theory of Cong. Fred Britten OF
the lower house to prohibit the killing
Of, and Interstate shipment of any
calf under the age Of 2 years. Britten
would make it a misdemeanor for any
person, firm or corporation to slay a
calf and attempt to ship it from one
state to another, or transport it alive
for slaughter at its destination.
THE emergency is great and the
American public is face to face with
a condition of meat famine that is not
merely producing prohibitive prices,
but which threatens a lack of meat at
almost any price" says the Chicago
congressman.
Every newborn calf, according to
Britten, means the possibility of 400
pounds Of good meat, but if the calf is
killed in comparative infancy, "you
have only a few pounds Of . veal
scarcely fit for one to eat.
He asserts that the number OF calves
slaughtered in the last ten years has
increased 100 per cent and that stats
tics for 1911 show that 5000, 600 calves
were killed in hat year. If these s.
900, 900 calves had been allowed to live
for W O years Or more, he adds, they
might have been turned into more
than 1900 900, 900 pounds Of beef, es-
timating that each grown steer would
produce about 1,400 pounds.
Again calling figudes to the aid Of
his contention, Congressman Britten
says:
I'm the last six years there has been
a decline of more than 80 per cent in
the number Of beef cattle in this u
try, while the population and onse-
quent demand for beef has largely in
creased.
Argentina and other South Ameri-
can countries are now shipping large
quantities Of beef into the United
States. They have plenty of cattle for
sale, for the killing of calves is prohib-
tied there by law.
There were 81, 500 900 head of beef
cattle in this country at the beginning
Of 1907, while at the beginning Of the
present year there were but SO, 600, 900,
1t is easy to see the effect the enor-
nous slaughter Of calves has had upon
the beef industry Of the United
States"
