The train, always remember, has to
stick to the track and don't have to
stick to the track. And l don't want
to be mashed on the track either, and
l am not going to be IL I keep my

ber that train is great big affair and
that 1t takes 1t some time to get under

it is astonishing how quickly can

Young People vs.. Caution.
II want to caution you young lovers,
In this connection, that II you think
the time in conversation has to come
when you should make q demonstration
of any kind, wait until you get across
the crossing, because I have known
fellows who thought they needed just
one hand to steer the machine with
and before they got through they were
using both hands saving themselves. l
would rather have you come to my
study and let me ohlciate at your we'd
ding than to have to accept the sad
feelings of your friends and ofaciate at
your funeral; or have to read In the
newspaper of man coming to q rail-
road crossing. that he didn't notice the
train coming, that he leaves wife and
:hree children, that bis funeral was
largely attended and the flowers we're
many and beautiful, and all because he
didn't use q little bit of common sense.
Appreciate Safety Efforts
"Some OF these people are good,
Christian people, short on caution, and
having been struck some of them 60
straight to heaven and some Of them
go straight to-well, they didn't go
straight to heaven and that is certain
thing. So, is 1t not worth our while to
appreciate more heartily the efforts
that are being made for our safety and
to cooperate more extensively in order
that life may be saved that bread win
ners and those that depend on them
may be saved?
@As to spiritual sefety, if people
would just simply observe that their
pleasures we're safe ones. they would
not land in the ditch. II young people
were living on the line of "Safety
First" they would be mighty careful
before they would, for the first time,
embark on road that would involve
them in habit that was unsafe. Il is
because rules of safety have been
broken that men and women are
wrecked and go down to ruin. We must
live safely and then we will live nobly.
and when we come to the end of the
run We will be met by the smile Of our
Superintendent, who will give us not
banner like this (pointing to the San
Joaquin Divns safety bsnner) flag
given for excellence In safety work,
but entrance to life everlasting"

WAR IN EUROPE MAKES MANY
new DEPOSIToRS
Sl0,O00,000 IN MONTHS
FOREIGNERS ARE NOW DEPoSITING
WITH UNCLE SAM INSTEAD OF
SENDING TO old home

=
across the seas postsl-ssvings receipts
began to increase by leaps and bounds
and Withdrawals fell of, result quite
contrary to the predictions of many
well-informed persons who, in their
imagination, saw lines of feverish de-
positors at post-off1oe pay windows
anxious to again return their savings
to the bootleg and body belt deposit
ories whence they came before intrust-
ed to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute con-
adenoe Of the American Citizen, regard
less Of the flag that flrst met his eyes,
in the ability and purpose Of the Gov
ernment to carry out its obligations,
not only among the nations Of the
earth, but with the humblest citizen of
our land.
Two important results have followed :,
thousands Of people, largely of foreign
birth, accustomed to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons Of our postal
savings system; and enormous sums of
actual cash have been released for
commercial uses among our own people
at time when the need for every avail.
able dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap batween the tin-csn de
pository and the factory psymsster.
On July l, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the
Transmission of money across the At
lantic was safe and expeditions, there
was approximately $43.OO0,OO of postal
savings standing to the credit of about
$4,000 depositors. Since then over
100000 of deposits have been added
and the number Of depositors has in
creased enormously. The unprecedent-
ed gain is the more striking when it is
considered that the net gain In the last
three months is larger than the gain
for the entire fiscal year 1914. Scores
of officials have done more ,postal.sav-
ings business since the war has been
going on than was done by them dur
ing the previous existsnce Of the ser
vice. The increases are confined to NO
special localities, but have been felt in
every nook and corner Of the country.
New York City alone made q gain in
Septsmber of more than q million
while Brooklyn showed a relatively biz
increase. More than 1000 new account,
we're opened during the period, bring
ing the number Of depoeitors in tina,
city up to over 2l,OOO.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greately to the general administrative
duties OF the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting problemt
which have called for the careful Der
sOnal consideration Of Postmaster
General Burleson aud Governor Dock
cry, Third Assistant Postmaster Gener
al But their task has been lightenec
somewhat by the promptness of depos-
itoty banks in furnishing additiona
security to meet the abnormal deposits
A number of the very largest banks il
the country, which have heretofore d.
c)iueh to qualify as Repositories To-
posta!-snviogs funde, are now anon,
the eager applicants for them.

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE
 AND THE TRIPLE ENTENTE

The Triple Alliance was formed in 1883 between Germany Austria Hungary and Italy, for the purpose of checking encroach- ments by Russia and France By its pro visions the three powers are bound to sup port one another in certain contingencies Its terms were made more definite in 1887 The exact terms of the alliance have not been divulged, but are said to have been modified as to France and Italy in 1893. The alliance has been renewed at different periods. For many years Great Britain, while not party to the alliance, was closely linked with it through apprehension of French and Russian aggressiveness, but later, becoming disquieted by the growth of the German naval power, adopted in 1892 a decit!ed change of policy, with view to seeking in the balance of power greater security against invasion.
 In pursuance of thi3 policy Great Britain entered into an agreement with France in 1904 and with Russia in 1907. The aims of the Triple Entente so caIlec,-Great Britain, France and Russia were substantially: The balance of power, the strengthening Of the treaty law in the interests of peace and the status QUO, and disarmament. In some re spects this policy has met with considerable success An opinion of much weight is to the effect that in the event of a war between the powers of the Triple Alliance and those of the Triple Entente, the land forces Of the Entente would probably exceed by a million men those of the Alliance, but it Is doubtful whether the vast army of Russia could be promptly assembled for service in the theater of war. The strength of the combined navies of the entente in ships. tonnage, ornament and number of men would exceed the combined strength of the
