AMERICAN GRAIN SHIPMENTS.

The supplying of grain to foreign purchasers is to be no easy task; and there is not the assurance it will prove profitable which is inviting to the trafic.
 America has millions of bushels of grain which Europe needs, but war means a blockade of the ports of the contending nations, and a blockade means that ships carrying contraband of war will be shut out. Grain is of the very essence of contraband for such manufacturing nations as Great Britain, France and Germany. The grain ships must sail under neutral flags, and the grain must be consigned to neutral ports to escape seizure. But even though consigned to neutral ports 1t is by no means certain that it would be exempt if any of the combatants believed it was intended ultimately for the enemy
 grain ship headed for Genoa with cargo that could be shipped thence to Austria and Germany, says an au- thority, might be regarded as the proper prey of English, French or Rus sian warships. The seizure of such cargo would immediately call for a protest from Washington. and he who framed the protest should have all the precedents of the past at his instant command. In addition, he should be backed by the whole United States navy to enforce our views regarding the rights of our commerce
 The trade relation toward these war ring nations Is full of peril
 How can America keep from being entangied in the conflict is far from being tickle inquiry
Norwich bulletin., 1914-08-05
THE WAR CORRESPONDENTS.

The readers of American papers woke up on August 3rd to learn that the war was not op, that the nations were rapidly preparing for battle. but still parleying, hence that in the ex- citing despatches heretofore there was more fiction than truth
 The reading public and The Bulletin recognize that there is much room for reform among the news gatherers of the press. It believes no news is bet ter than the false stories which are sent abroad to interest and excite the people.
 The war correspondents lot is far from being pleasant. He is in a po- sition where the truth is often denied him and where his employers are look ing for something interesting every day
 The competition in newsgathering is more intense than can be described and the peril of the business is far from being inviting. You remember the fathers admonition to his son: Get money, Honestly if you can! But get it'll" This has been short ened by the vigorous to two words: Get therei" and this is the admoni- tion live newspaper correspondents hear ringing in their ears all the time.
 Those who know the difficulties and hazards of the work are more inn pressed by the accuracy of their fore casts than the errors they make mug zled and handicapped as they are. There isn't a newsgatherer who would not be dee-lighted (excuse the word) to have exact information all the time. They have to work like laymen cross questioning Philadelphia lawyers to get at the facts and then hazard con- meeting up the crude results.
 The parties who demand the news are not half as responsible for the gross misrepresentation as those who withhold it and would rather have it false than true

JUVENILE PERPLExITY.

Little Lewis sat on the bottom star listening to a faint, wee wall from room above. He was feeling amazing iy queer and strange. The house didn't look right. either. The wall papers though he had seen 1t every day Tor the seven long years Of his existence. Rlared out unfamiliarIy at him as 1T for some odd and unaccountable req son he had been set down in any one of the many other front halls on the street. Was he really at home? To make sure. Lewis put out his finger and poked at the carpet. That, at least. felt natural. 1t looked all right. too, for there were the big green squares that he used for houses when he and Louise played paper dolls on rainy days He looked up. There was the red hall lamp just as 1t should be, and beyond it the stars on the ceiling. Things did look homelike. after all, and Lewis had just begun to feel really like Lewis again when a repetition or the tiny squeal from above put him back upon unfamiliar ground once more.
 His lips quivered. He breathed hard two or three times and then, like many anbther hopeless optimist, tried to close his mind to things as they were and imagine them what he would like them to be.
 T don't care" he muttered resoIute- "; there ain't any baby. l know there alnG. so Ilere.
 But wishes had to give up in min- ute more to undeniable realities, for the babys intermittent walls now be- came a steady stream of howls calcu- lated to convince the most sceptical or brothers that there was a baby in the house. The room began once again fo seem foreign. Lewis. like the old lady of the nursery rhyme who was so un- fort anateIy deprived of her petticoats, had the odd sensation of wondering forlornly If I be T." The old lady, Lewis reflected had little dog to help her find out He wished he had one no he didn't, either, because the old lady found out with the help of her little dog that she wasn't herself, and perhaps if he had dog he'd find out that he wasn't himself and that the baby was real.
 There! It was bowling again. Oh. deari It was a bad game for father to bundle him and Louise off to the farm and pretend it was just to give them a good time with grandma when all the time he was planning to sneak an old squally baby into the house. He wouldn't fool them again, no siri He wondered how Louise liked 1t. She had been as angry as he was when the telegram came from father, but he hadn't seen her since they got home.
 A noise behind him made him look l up. It was Louise, all smiles and loon- l ing anything but angry.
 Oh, Lewis" she said, "come up, quick! Aunty says we may see the 1 baby if we come upstairs. Come on.
 Lewis started to shake his head, but 1 the thought of having Louise ahead of him in anything made him change his | mind
 1 T guess I'll come up and see fl | it's worth saving" he remarked loftily 1 'I guess it aint. It yells too much. l Don't you think so?"
