A quarter.mile span of the mile.long
Connaught bridge collapsed at 4
o clock, and carried down with it two
fircmen and lineman. The lineman
was badly hurt The fall of this span
left the middle section of the bridge
burning fiercely with the streams Of
water thrown by fire engines on shore,
unable to reach it from either side.
Although the bridge constructed only
two years ago, was built mostly Of
steel, the plankcd and tarred pavement
gave the flames plenty Of material to
feed upon.
Another Fire.
Another fire broke out this morning
which may have been meant to destroy
suhstation of the Electric company,
and cripple street ear lines. 1t is be.
lievod to have been started by alien
enemies.
Ever since the war started guards
have been placed along railway bridges
all through Canada, but little attention
has been given to local bridges. Some
Officials suspect plot to set the en-.
tire town on fire and that only the
doubling Of police vigilance immedi
Otely after the discovery of the bridge
fires prevented this.
II is now certain that the govern
mcnt viii take extra measures to send
all alien enemies to the detention camT
at Nanaimo as fast as they can bl
rounded up, For months those wei
known here have been forced to re

The enthusiasm for the fatherlan,
among the Germans in Vancouver ha
aroused citizens here to point o

of aliens who venture on the streets.

True Temperance Sentiment
Encourages Beer Making
None but pessirnist will deny the growth
of healthy sentiment for real temperance dur
ing the last twenty years The result has been
notable decrease in over-indulgence in alcoholic
liquors.
During the last of years the brewing
industry has doubled it's output. There is but
one conclusion and that is that the growing
temperance sentiment is increasing the consurnp-
ton of beer, the most temperate of alcoholic
beverages.
1.-THE introduction of beer in America
has done for temperance than all
the temperance societies and all the
hibition laws combined, says Col Henry
Watterson. veteran editor of the Louisville
er-Journal
Beer encourages true temperance because It
satisfies the human demand for mild stiInulant

National Preparation.
(New Haven Register.

We are rapidly moving to point
 where, consciously or unconsciously,
 the expression national preparation
 is taking the place of national de-
 fense. We seem to be moving away
 from the consideration of the sub-
 ject from an insular point of view,
 and to be moving towards it's con-
 sideration from the external point of
 view. We are becoming less and
 less concerned with the police aspect
 of the case and more and more con-
 cerned with the international phases
 of it.
 In an enlightening editorial in the Springfield Republican upon the gen.
 eral subject, we are given a specific reason why President Wilson has l within year changed from a paci-
 fist to a semi-miIitarist. It says: '"The conclusion seems forced upon
 one that with vast changes of some sort ahead of us, with the actual l success of Germany in Europe by no means so improbable as it was
 deemed a year ago, with Britain $ economic future and political strength far less assured even in victory than 1 it was after Waterloo, the United States is bound to make more ample LOT 0NCnJudlltloS llldC | might prove exceedingly disturbing ] ir their effects upon the western con- l tinents and our vast national inter- ests. Here is the underlying reason { for the presidents change of mili- 1 tary policy since a year ago. Op- 1 portunist? Yes. But opportunist | because the march of events bids | statesmanship take it's measure, while , there is time, of what may come ] after.''
 ] This comes so much nearer being a 1 specific statement of what we have 1 to fear when the European war is l over that we are encouraged to be- lieVe that when the great debate ] starts in the congress plain speech l will become even more popular. As 1 our readers know, we have not been l a bit satisfied with the shriekings
 of the jingoes, who have pitted every 1 nation against us in their imagina- | tions, but when a newspaper of the 1 character and ability of the Spring 1 field Republican sees in our great 1 prosperity the source of envy to other l nations, and that there will be of 1 necessity an attempt on the part of l some nation or other to take it from 1 us we get very near to an under 1 standing of things. It is not a br 1 encouraging from any point of view. | IL is decidedly distasteful, but it may | be human. There is reason for sat ] isfaction, however, that there will not | be lacking from the debate in the 1 congress voices which will refuse to

Pathological Fatigue.
(New York WOrld.)

Teaching is not commonly reckoned an extra hazardous occupation. but such it appears to be, in the New York public schools at least. Accord ing to statistics compiled by the Brooklyn Teachers association, 20 per cent of all absences or teachers are due to illness, largely to "occupational diseases of the throat and lungs. But the great menace of the teaching profession is pathological fatigue The leverage teacher" it seems, lives in "a constant state of pathological fatigue, nervously .unstrung, but by sheer dint of heroic effort is sacri- flcing her remaining vitality in the cause of public service.'
 That being the case, can humane municipality wreck what is left of the teachers health by asking her to devote part of her vacation to teach ing in summer schools? It is to pre- vent this very frightfulness that the Brooklyn Teachers, association has had the disturbing figures compiled. But it is to be hoped the teachers will not claim any monopoly of patho- logical fatigue. That is a very preva- lent and by no means exclusive malady. It afflicts all women who have to make their living. Men even are not exempt.
 People would work with almost as much zest as they play if only patho- logical fatigue could be eradicated from labor. It is probably the most universal of occupational diseases. That New York women school teachers, with their higher pay and more comfortable conditions of work, should be specially susceptible to 1t is only one of the distinctive symp- toms of the malady.

from silence amid the clamor of their outgivings they are welcome to. In art, in science, in morals, in every thing Kultur has won a first place that admits no second.
 In psychology, likewise, Kultur is supreme. The study of the human mind and it's reactions to various stimuli has nowhere been carried on with such precision as in Germany. There the infants in arms excel in this department of knowledge the white matched wise men of all other na- tlcns. Even our Johnsons, and Near irgs are not so full of ripe erudition as the least of these, shocking though such an admission may appear. The world trembles as it recognizes it's awful inferiority.
 But as it trembles the world dares to question. One wanton thought in- trudes. Why does Kultur contribute to nothing except the making of dyes and cannon, the composition of poisonous gases, the fabrication of suffering and death? Not, be it un- derstood, that we should wish Kultur might prove so weak, so spineless, as 10 recognize humane thought or cul- tivate mere mercy; but when Kultur's offspring and defenders might profit say, by the modification of their con- duct through their deep knowledge of psychology, why does Kultur inhibit them from that not to be despised accretion? That it does exercise this strong prohibitive power history too young to lie gives ample testimony testimony that may, without exaggera- tion of resort to poetic license, be de- scribed as written in red.
 The German mind, disciplined by Kultur, is very magnificent, no doubt. 1 Sometimes it seems to have lost con- 1 trol over the German hand.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
High Cost of Courtship.
(Meriden DemOcratl

Al magazine writer maintains that one ot the chief reasons why young men don't marry so numerous1y as they used to is because courting costs too much. Of all the eXtravangances ol the present generation, there's certainly none more conspicuous tHan the expensive entertainment Wnlch young men feel obliged to give thelr girl friends. It doesn't matter ihuch Whether the young mans in- .eh'lohs are serious or not; he spends ms money just the same. Formerly 'here wasn't much expected of man, even an engaged man, except occaslonal flowers or candy or books. But now such things are the least
 or the 1mpecunious swain's troubles. Iheaters and luncheons and auto hloplles eat hole into the most com-
 Iortable income. And the plumber or the Ice man falls for it' no less l; 'hah HIS richer brethren. It isn't 1ioceSSdrlly, as some disgruntled ri'ales insist, that girls are more sell

The standard has changed, and young males are caught m system of social obligation that leads a man earning $2O a week to spend $1O entertaining a girl for an evening, without feeling that he's do1ng anything absurd-in fact, do- Ing it with feeling of secret pride that isn't wholly deflated by his eat ing ten-cent lunches till pay day. Whether such expenses really scare men out of matrimony is a question. Certainly they postpone matrimony somewhat, because it takes so much longer to save enough to start house. keeping. But on the other hand, a young man is likely to conclude that it won't cost any more to support a Wife than to keep on good terms With girl. As matter of fact, the lavish expenditure is usually curtail- ed after the honeymoon. It has to be, to keep the family housed, clothed and provsioned. And the re- trenchment often brings dulness and discontent because the transition from extravangance to thrift is so abrlInt
