London, July 15.--Copies of news
papers published in Germany since
the beginning of the war contain lurid
editorials and dispatches describing
"diabelical cruelty" on the part of the
Belsians towards the Germans. Bel

Another newspaper prints Wolf

French frontier fortresses are anti

Tageblant printed tales of German ref

LEARN TO SWIM.

The international committee of the
Y. M. c. A. for the last six years has
employed George H. Corsan to conduct
swimming classes at the association
pools over the country. He has taught
10000 men, women and children to
swim, and he says that drowning is
about the most foolish thing in the
world to do.
Now there is swimming pool in
the Y. NJ. C. A. Building here, and al
though Mr.. Corsan has not been here,
swimming lessons have been given by
competent instructors several years. A
small fee will admit anyone in Colum-
bia to the classes this summer.
One Of the most sensible things Co.
lumbians can do this summe.. is to
learn to swim. Take the children there
and have them taught the art. They
are not too young to learn. Besides
being a pleasant and cool pastime, it
may prevent more than one tragedy
this summer or in later years.

RIIS GAVE HIMSELF.

AS the appreciations of the life OF
Jacob A. Riis,' who died last week,
have come forth, one fact has stood
out prominently among the testimoni-
ais to his worth. He gave little money
to the poor, yet he was considered
their best friend. But he did give that
which is infinitely harder to do-he
gave himself.
There is something to be considered
in the lives of great men. What else
have the great men ever given except
all of their personality? Needy causes
today do not ask so much for support
in a monetary way. A true philan-
thrOpist does not stop when he has
given of his means.
Mr.. Riis, New Yorks greatest citi-
zen," has given us a fine example of
the proper love for our fellow men, in
that he gave unreservedly of himself.
Let's profit by it.
