IMMloRA 1N AFTER WAR.

In rectnt lu of Farm and. Fire. side, the national 1arm paer published tt springfield, o. appears an artieie about immigrants Ill which the def mite prediction is made that after the present war immigration to this coun- try Will greatly increase. The articlq includes stories oi remarkable lmm. grant farmers now in this country, aaa | also includes many interesting fac about immigrants. For example, II he three states, Wisconsin, Minneso- .a and North Dakota, 18S,000 farms out Jf 407,000 are owned, operated or man. 4ged by foreign born whites. Of these foreigners none are more prosperous nan the Norwegians. In North Dako- "a alone Norwegians own $S,000,O0o acres of land, valued for taxation al S275.OO0.O0o. Following is an extract taken from the article:
 Here in the United States greater proportion of foreign born farmers own their farm homes than do native born farmers At the time of the last cen JUS eighty -one out of every 100 lmmi grant farmers owned their places, while 1nly siXty-siA out or every lUo native 3oln farmers owned thelrs.
 When the men who are now fight Ing in Europe lay down their arms it will be natural for them, gathering the remnant of their families about them, to take the pittance left from their service pay and turn their faces west ward to the land of promise, where wars are few, where compulsory mill tary service is unknown and every man s as good as his neighbor and has
 nance to get ahead in the world.

TWENTIETH CENTURY COURAGE
(Collier's Weekly.)


 All the rules have gone smash in the war. There's on old one in the British army that you ought to begin to look to retreat when 10 per cent. of the men are down. In ours 1t Is 15. In an armies it Is either 10 or 15. British regiments have stuck when 50 per cent were out. German and French regi- ments have continued charging when only a handful were still alive or un- wounded Men have never fought so bravely as in this war. The idea that humanity was getting soft was the most ridiculous diffle that ever emen- ated from q 'knoeker" of the good old human race.
 In the old times you fought for a few hours and the battle was over If you were uncertain of your courage, you took drink before you charged. Now you fight day after day; you face the enemy in apprehension that any mo ment a shell may bury you alive or eviscerate you. Hand grenades are tossed back and forth like bouquets it's war of nerves, and in this age of nerves the highly civilized and or eanized man Is standing what woulo utterly demoralize savage.

WILL STIMULATE FACTORIES.
Buffalo Times.)

Great importance is Justly attached oy the Philadelphia Ledger to the gov- crnment railroad soon to be opened up in Alaska, as furnishing an impetus to the prosperity of the Pacific coast, es- pecially with relation to increased coal supply and consequent Mobilization of manufactures.
 In this prospect the Ledger foresees extensive shipments of Alaska's coal 10 the Pacific coast states, and with that a drop in the coast of coal there the inevitable result being decrease in the expense of running manufacturing plants, and acceleration of the disposi- lion to invest in them.
 AS industrial capital becomes famil- jar with the proposition represented by an Alaskan railroad which, with its main line, and branches, will include more than 500 miles of new tracks, it is seen with ever growing clearness that the communication thus opened with the coal producing district of All aska Is sure to be a powerful factor in Pacific coast prosperity

GOOD MORNING CLUBS.
lI1averhill Gazette.)

The apostles of cheerfulness and kindness are abroad once more. Good morning and good evening" clubs are organizing in cities of the west witch the purpose of expelling the chilly tn- difference which exists between men rho meet each other day after day on the streets, in cars, in offices, etc, ana vet who have never formed the pleas ant habit of giving a smiling nod of recognition. We are all familiar with he condition of things which stirs this latent sense of good fellowship. In every residence neighborhood there are men who always take the same street cars downtown in the morning and frequently the same cars back at night These same masculine atoms gather day after day and look at each other with dead-hsh eyes until the situation first becomes embarrassing and then hateful. Yet many of these atoms only require the presence of an other atom-the "good morning atom when. presto! the magic effect of social unbending is seen in chum- my group of friends, q molecule of neighborllness. All men of similar in- terests are pretty much alike. Once the crust of formality Is broken. almost any group of men may be friendly. Men become reserved, not to say sus- picious. by force of habit. It is an unfortunate and unjustihable habit and often leads to development of that unspeakable community nuisance-the neighborhood grouch.

WHAT SCANDAL IS.
(New Republic

There are few of us who do not en- 5oy this sense of really knowing what's what. It extends our eXeprience and gives us vicarious importance. If we cannot live great passions we can at least read about Mime. Du Barry's bou- doir. If we cannot be smart we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set The moral earnestness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peoples domestic affairs suggests that gossip Is perhaps a genuine primitive art in which ther is catharsis through pity and fear and pride and joy. One woman leaves her husband; a hun dred women chatter about it, and their passionate interest might make cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emotions of 8 great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip Is experience without responsi- blllty. It Is a means of taking part in interesting or important events with out any of the risk that comes of be- ing an actor in them. Gossip, in short, Is the pleasure of the spectator at the business of life.

 In the cities of over 2,500 population in every state in the United States ex- cept seven, New Hampshire, Rhode ls- land. Indiana, Illinois. South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming, the total revenue receipts fell behind total governmental cost payments in 1913. That is to say, the cities of the United States are liv- ing beyond their income. and it is also n fact that the greater they get the more money they spend per capita New York spends about six times as much as Chicago. and Chicago about twice as much as Philadelphia. The figures from which there conclusions are drawn were gathered by the census bureau They show also that the an- nual revenues of the cities investigated run considerably more than S2,Ooo,oOo'- 900 a year.

London. May 81, 1910 p. M.-Not-
withstanding the superb weather the
contcnders in the western arena OF
hostilities. realizing the terrible losses
which even an insignificant advance
entails, have reverted, generally
speaking, to the trench warfare of the
winter and it is Galicia IN the cas-. the
Dardanelles, and perhaps the ltalo-
Austrian frontier, which are most
likely to furnish spectacular develop
ments during the next fortnight.
Russians Admit Retreat
The Russians at last have admitted
the extent of their retreat from the
Dunaiec to the San and while they
profess that the Austro-German rush
has been held up and that Przemysl is
in no danger, they pay tribute to the
impetus and spirit of the advance of
their antagonists at the same time
that they laud the smoothness of the
Russian retirement, which they are
calling as mastery as that of the al
lies from Mons.
Out of breath after their eastward
squirt, the Germans and Austrians are
now bringing up reinforcements and fresh
ammunition and another great battle will
be fought to determine whether the new
lines to which the Russians have fallen
back are tenable. According to the Ger
mans the encirclins OF Przemysl is pro-

Italy and Austria are now engaged in

there have been as yet no important en-

The Pope then exhorts all Catholics to

Continuing, the Pope writes:
