ADVENTURES OF TRAVEL

'It was a sad night for mel" mourn ed the girl who likes to talk. Never, never so long as live, shall I know whether Lake Louise, Canada, was the spot where Clarence had his dreadful headache or whether 1t wasn't! What had expected to have my mind. im- proved. which is always a painful process, but to which I was resigned this time, and it didn't get improved! I don't quite know what happened to it, but I think 1t emerged from that evenings entertainment at the movies in what might be described as a ,curd- led state.
 "They began the minute the screen was flooded with travel pictures show ing the Canadian Rockies. One of the women was fluffy and she squealed with joy at the start.
 '"Oh, goody, Clarence!' she cried. I simply love seeing pictures that I have seen! mean where have beenl Of course it won't be as good as real Iy seeing them-that is, If you haven't been there-but if you have it's better than the same-that is-oh, my good ness, you know what I meani Isn't that perfectly be-yutiful!'
 "'You were right there, weren't you. AdeIine? chimed in the other woman who had a plaintive voice. How in- trustingi'
 "'Yes. right there!' joyously agreed the fluffy one See. Clarence! Re- member that? Oh, yes you do, too!

they are until congress sanctions a change or until it gives the board the power to make them. Whether con- gress intended to retain such control or whether it was expected that such powers had been delegated to the board, the fact is that the board can do nothing Under the existing act.
 This means that If anything is to be done congress must be called upon to consider matters which might better have been left with the board, the members of which are in close touch with the conditions and fully understand the grounds upon which the dissatisfaction rests, and therefore in view of their other re- responsibilities ought to be capable of handling such matters in accordance with the facts.

A coMMENDABLE ACT.

The account which is given by Eleanor F. Egan of the experience which she and the others aboard the British ship Barulos had in the Med iterranean when a Turkish submarine fired a shot across it's bow after hav- ing sunk another British steamer car rying freight, the crew of which had just been taken aboard the Barulos, reads like a fairy tale. It is filled with narrowing features, but the sur prising part of the whole affair is the conduct of the submarine and the dec- laration by it's commander, Co back to your boat, we are not murderers."
 Coming so close after the sinking Df the Ancona, which likewise was a passenger ship without contraband and bound for this country, and displaying such consideration for the human cargo, though the panic, which had been caused by the appearance of so closely as it did upon the rescue of the freighters crew, resulted in the loss of 25 lives, it presents a con- trast which is decidedly striking.
 Whether it was an isolated case where a humanitarian is in command of a submarine or whether it indi- cates a disposition to respect the rights of Humanity and not fill the role of murderers when there is no military advantage to be gained re- mains to be seen, for certainly if that Is an example of the manner in which the submarine warfare is to be con- ducted in the Mediterranean in the fu- ture it is a most gratifying and com mendable change, and the whole civil lzed world cannot but take sucIl a view of it and express the hope that It is permanent and not solitary in- stance of trying to keep within the bounds of international law and jus- tice

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Kossovo-"With the Servian army of the north drawing it's lines in upon the ancient battle-ground of Kossovo, the bitter struggle in the Balkan king to the Muse of History; for the Ser vians fought their greatest battle at Kossovo ventured their all to stem the advancing Ottoman, and there saw their empire smashed beyond repair" begins a statement on war geography issued recently by the National Geo. graphic Society. 'Kossovo was fought on August 27, 1889. No event in all their history has left such an inn pression upon the Serb mind as this field, whose results were so fateful to their state. Although a losing battle, vians; the flavor of their aristocracy remained upon the field; their Tsar was killed, and their independence was lost for nearly five centuries.
 The battlefield itself is a long val ley lying west of PFishtina, and its plain is called the Field of Black birds. 1t lies almost in the heart of present-day Servia, being about 125 miles from Monastir and 150 miles from Belgrade. Thirty miles behind ders of modern Montenegro. while to the west of the plain and the town, Prishtina, runs the Morava River val ley and the Uskup- Mitrovitza rail- way. The plain is watered by the Sibnitza, tributary of the Ibar. It is fruitful, rolling and banked in by mountains, in which are located some of the mines famous in Roman times and during the early Midle Ages.
 Lazarus, Tsar of Servia, command ed in person on the field of Kossovo, and to him was opposed the brilliant conqueror, Murad I, Sultan of the Turks. The advantages of numbers and of position lay with the Servian army, but these advantages were more than offset by the skillful tactics of the Turkish commanders and the tra ditions of victory behind the Turk ish soldiers. Tsar Lazarus had an army of 1OO,00 Serbs, Moldavians, and Walachians. while the sultan com manded a force of but 10000. The day was decided by the l.ksGtant, fierce charge led by Yildeprim Bayezid, and nightfall found the Servian army en- tirely cut to pieces. Murad I. as well as the Servian Tsar, was killed upon this field, which, if anything, is one of the most celebrated and legend-sur- rounded battlegrounds in all the Bal kans.'

PRESIDENT ELLIoTT's ADVICE.

Just how the large volume of export freight is tying up certain railroads is indicated by the order just issued by the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western road to the effect that no more freight for export will be re- ceived until further notice. Despite all it can do it's terminals and sidings are choked with cars loaded with goods which it is impossible to move because of a lack of steamship fla cilities for handling them. It is en- tirely due to the unprecedented move ment of commodities to Europe and how great the volume of business is at the present time is well disclosed by the fact that goods to the amount of SITS, ,000, ,000 and carried on 393 ships left New York during the month of October and yet there is freight which has stood in cars for 80 days.
 It is not solely the Lackawanna road which is experiencing this trou- ble for all are feeling it, but the best must be made of the situation until the needed relief can be obtained.
 The situation is not so acute in New England, but there is need of devotfng plenty of attention to the matter of relief and preventing a con- 6ColAOA SoSA SA4SLS C1SC"IlCfS. III the opinion of President Elliott of the New Haven road the difficulty in New England is not so much car shortage as shortage of tracks, terminals and private sidetracks at factories so that cars can be placed and unloaded promptly. The country, he believes, should encourage the investment of capital in ships, railroads tracks, ter minals and equipment. There can be no question but what President FL liott hits the nail on the head when he refers to the part which capital can play if properly encouraged

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

While the question of preparedness is before the country, much food for thought is furnished by the statement which has just been issued by the British war office to the effect that since the opening of the war there have been killed. wounded or captured nearly 21,000 officers. That means a tremendous loss in view of the small number of troops which Great Britain was able to put into the field during the early stages of the war, but it shows the necessity of providing the proper quota of officers.
 The disclosure which is made by this statement is one of much inn portance to this country when the need of a larger army is being point ed out. While it is possible to get volunteers in large numbers or pos- sible to resort to other measures in raising an army it is an entirely diff ferent thing when it comes to getting officers to, direct them. Even militia companies in times of peace fully un- derstand that every soldier is not cap- able of becoming an officer and with the amount of training that is required to make them efficient where would this country be able to secure at once the necessary number that would be required in the event of war? Great Britain has lost in 9 year and a half in officers alone practically one-quar- ter of the entire standing army of this country
 Even under the proposed plan of recognizing the army and the estab- lishment of a Continental army it would require much time in order to get officers to command it, and an army we'll equipped in that respect needs to have proper consideration in advance in line with the improve ments which are sought under the effort in behalf of preparedness.

PERPETUATINe MEMORIAL DAY.

Looking to the future, and it is with regret that it must be recognized as being at no great distance ahead, patriotic citizens of Indianapolis have begun preparations which will insure the perpetuation of the observance of Memorial day, after those in whose hands the details now rest are num- bered among the heroic dead. This has been done by the organization of society termed the General Memo vial association, the object of which Is to inspire patriotism and to pre- vent the loss of interest in Memo rial day which promises to be serious ly affected by the passing of the old soldiers
 As long as the veterans are able either by act or enthusiasm they will continue to keep green the memory of their comrades who made such great sacrifices in behalf of the nation, but those living who participated in the Civil war are getting to be old men. Their enthusiasm does not abate, but their in1rinities increase as their num- bers decrease and the time is coming, as it inevitably must, when they will have to relinquish the Memorial day duties to others. There are, of course, the Sons of Veterans, upon whom such work would naturally devolve, but they are much weaker organization han the Grand Army and there are many places where they fail to exist.
 Thus it would appear that Indian apolis citizens have made a move in | the right direction and to obtain re- suits it has been made none too soon. The last organized march of the vet srans has been made in many places and the number is constantly increas Ing and the example which has been set by the Indiana city is one that ought to spread throughout the coun- try

 The International Silver strike in Meriden is being prolonged over a diff ference of one hour of working time a week. The men will take ten per cent. increase and fifty-four-hour week. The company will give ten per cent. increase and a fifty-five-hour week, and says that this is the maximum concession possible because twenty one out of its twenty-two competitors are running on fifty-five to fifty nine-hour basis. Is one hour a week so important? The company has put into effect already, another demand of the strikers and has established a min imum wage of twelve and one-half cents on hour for women workers.- Waterbury Republican.
 Bridgeport today compares very fav- orably with other cities of it's size and has probably as good a class of boys and girls as other cities, but for the good of the nation it has. and they have altogether too much loose talk. loose thought and loose morals. It may not be possible to reform those who are grown up, but the minds of the children can be so impregnated with the thought of purity and of their duty to themselves, their coun- try and their God. that they will not participate in clandestihe meetings nor ally themselves in marriage to those physically or morally unfit Bridgeport Standard.
 Yale can hardly be expected to be thankful for what she has received this fall but after all. considering her circumstances, it may we'll be that stinging defeat was just what her headstrong undergraduates needed. If they cannot see the handwriting on the wall now they will never be able to read even in the largest of type. What Yale wants most is the substi- tuition of graduate control of football for what now prevails or at least graduate participation in the council that settles football problems. The students have had their chance and woefully messed it as the record of the last few seasons shows. Now they should gracefully drape themselves over the rear seats and let older and wiser men help them out of the slough in which they are cast through their own bad judgment What Yale really lacks is someone who can impress on the tender undergraduate just how little he knows of the broad scheme of life. That belief of his that the sun rises and sets coincident with its ad- vent upon the campus will have to be toned down.-Ansonia Sentinel.
