continued residence in their home city is
a matter of general satisfaction.
Even in the diplomatic circle there
will be an exchange of hospitalities
more formal, if possible, than in times
of peace, but much more restricted in
numbers. An unwritten but carefully
observed law ms several embassies is
that no dinner company shall include
more than eight covers. while even the
young secretaries who are invited to
homes of their intimate friends now
inquire as to the number of the guests

THE BRAVE AT HOME.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dis
sembles.
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trem-
bios,
Though heaven alone records the tear.
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field Of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asun-
der,
Doomed nightly In her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Has shed al sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of BATTLE
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and
brief,
kissing the patriot brow she hlesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as DER the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor!

VALUABLE VOLCANOES.

some part or other of the world, drives
enormous quantities of fine dust into tho
upper atnosphere-dust so fine that it
floats for months or years before II set
ties to earth's surface. II Is around this
dust that the water vapor drawn IN by
the heat of the sun condenses and
so forms the clouds. without which the

way.

1t is no secret that Congressman
Greene's fearless attitude on these issues
contributed in no small degree to the
confirmation of his absolute right and
title not only to unanimous renomina-
ton, but also to an unqualified endorse
ment at the polls by the voters OF the
first district OF Vermont
Porter II. Dale, the successful candi-
date In the second district convention
while classed as conservative really
carries out tho spirit of the direct pri-
mary by getting into touch with praoti-
cally all the voters of his district pre-
cedlng the convention. Moreover, he
was not confessedly the man the inter-
ests wanted in Congress from that dis
trict Indeed, at least two other possible
candidates had been urged In opposition
to him by powerful Influences. The fact
that Gordons strength mostly went to
the winner on the final ballot in the I'M
usually pTponSeu contest Whllc Duh-
nett's strength remained stationary. and
| that Mr. Gordon was the most radical
of the candidates would indicate that
| Mr.. Dale is under more obligation to the
progressive element than to the conserva-
tive elemen! of the party and he is likely
to represent the factors that made his
nomination possible.

liant cnmpaigner, but who also deserves
no small degree OF credit for starting the

If this should prove to be the case, th'

grow under their feet, and they should
take an advanced and pronounced posi-
ton on live issues before they are forceC

THOSE KRJtPP GUNS.

For years there have been two acres
in the Krupp works which no outsider
has been permitted to visit.
II has been in some quarters a sub
ject Of conjecture as to what was going
on within these two acres. 1t is now
a fair guess that Germany was therein
developing her enormous siege guns
which now come forth to the surprise
Of the world and show a capacity for
hurting a 14-inch shell u miles and bat
ter1ng down all modern Notifications.
The German Emperor has always main
tanned that his taxes and war levies were
necessary for the defence OF Germany
Perhaps the money would not have
been so readily forthcoming had the Ger
man people themselves been allowed to
see these new guns. which have no pur-
pose Of defence but have tremendous
value in aggressions against neighboring
nations.
The English people always maintained
that the German navy could have but
one objective and that was the destruc-
ton of the English navy.
A few years ago there was a very
strong sentiment in England that the
German navy should be arrested in its
career.
1t Is very probable that had the world
seen the preparations that Germany
was making for an offensive demonstra-
ton, both on land and sea. 1t would ere
! this have risen up and demanded the
cessation OF Germany's war preparations.
The German people would have been as
emphatic in this demand as people out
side.
How carefully the German war party
went about its preparations now comes
almost daily to the front.
That Germany has been preparing for
three years for the present movement
against the whole world is becoming
daily more evident.
We know of one American lady who
has been contemplating a visit to Europe
for three years. But happening TO have
friend near the seat of power In th'
war office she wrote three years age
suggesting this visit. She was then told
that the prospects were for a European
war and that she had better defer hel
visit Germany then started the Euro
pean row by sending the warship Pan
Their 70 Agadir, but the financial anc
business interests OF the FatheranC
made the Emperor back down. But tn
war office we'll knew the basis for III
advice.
Each year this lady has written Il
German headquarters and received tn
same confidential advice. Even this yea
she wrote and asked II she might safely
make her visit and was told TO keep out
that the war was, coming.
For three years the whole world ha
been trying to avoid war and for three
years Germany has kept on preparing
for 1t.

BRUSSELS SHOULD BE SAVED.
(Trom the Brooklyn Eagle)


Just a hundred years ago. in late Au-
gust. 1914, General Ross and Admiral
Cockburn burned the capitol, the presi
dents house and the other public build
ings Of Washington. Historians, even
British historians, have held this one of
the worst illustrations Of vandalism in
the annals of warefare. It is a curious
thing that Belgium's capital. Brussels,
should be menaced by a like fate. CEN
fury later. The German entry into Brus-
sells may not be accomplished till the ac-
tual one hundredth anniversary of the
entry of the British troops into Washing
ton, August Is. 1874
The structures wantonly destroyed by
the Ross-Cockburn forces were new. They
were easily replaced. We refuse to be-
lieve that German commanders will inn
peril the art treasures of Brussels, or
blow down the historic palace Of william
the Silent, now used as a library and art
museum. or demolish the Church of La
Chappelle, built In 1910; or destroy the
Saint Gudule Cathedral. most of whc h
has been standing for six and half CEN
turtles If they should, the plea that
Russians are ba rbarians would lose most
of its weight.
| 1t appears that the Belgians are pre-
pairing to yield Brussels TO the tender
mercies of the Kaiser's soldiers. The
Germans have wasted the country
through which they have advanced. That
| was the privilege Of invaders allowed to
the needs of strategy. They may have
hammered the Liege forts to ruins. That
also was we'll within the laws of war.
But Brussels is not a fortified place, 1t
is a busy hive Of industry, sending to
the world laces, carpets. furniture, car
riages, a hundred sorts of manufactured
goods And bombarding of Brussels
would be II military crime.
1t is declared that the Austrian bonn
harding Of Belgrade, which had been de-
serted by the Servian officials when they
went to Nish, has done frightful damage
to fine old city But Belgrade was a
fortified town. on an altogether different
footing from the Capital Of Belgium Our
belief is that Germany will vindicate her
high ideals by refraining from ueedlesslY
injuring the architecture of Brussels.
