a RAINY SUMMER

| Evidently this section of the coun-
try is not alone in its suffering from
superabundance of rain. The fol
lowing is from Golfers Weekly:
Our umbrella hand Is getting cal

no Office boys; outdoor games and
plays are at hoarse discount. and
all our golfing friends are snuffling
in their speech. Since it rained on
this or that saints day. must 1t rain
forty other days and nights? The
talk one hears about the war is
gloomier for these lowering clouds
and fiercer for the flashes that split
them. No wonder the wise fathers
put their elections in the fall. when
crops are gathered and roads are
sometimes dry. No administration
that ever blessed our country could
stand UP for spring campaign IN
der the burden Of long rain. Class
hatred is fostered by these swishing
automobiles which know not the inst
from the unjust. This Is the real
sort Of season for alternating. The
cold of winter braces the nerves and
bites one into action, but just try to
wake q child in time for early break

note the difference-that is IL Won

a real subject for debate in the cues.
ton whether a lazy summer rain is
brewster than bees in clover. It
should be argued before jury of dor
mice and the victor crowned with
blue cornfiowers dropping full OF dew.
With these rain wreaths down the
sky, and the sreenness of growth
everywhere, and the soft airs healing
touch upon it-surely there is gentle
ness now at the very heart of things.

We do not know anything about the
safety of the steamboats, operating in
the Mississippi river, but we do know
that nothing should be left undone to
see that they are absolutely safe. The
Eastland disaster Is lesson. It is a
tragic one, but admittedly one that
could have been avoided with proper
precaution and Investigation. The
time to prevent accidents is before
they happen and those in authority
should see that every steamboat Is
thoroughly inspected and If not safe,
made safe or forbidden the use OF the
river.

A maple which grows 20 feet high,
whose leaves turn golden yellow in
autumn, is one Of the ornamental
trees introduced from China of which
something may be expected. A Chin
csc elm particularly adapted for dry
|sections for windbreak purposes has
proven very satisfactory and will be
more generally introduced. A pine
tree and Chinese butternut also
have grown well here. 1t is hoped
that these all may prove as ornament
al and useful as the gingko tree, (also
known as the maiden-hair fern tre,)
which has grown SO well along a num-
her Of the streets Of Washington.

mans have more than held then own
against superior numbers. They have
delivered counter attacks for every
offensive developed by the enemy.
and In the minor exchanges that have
occurred siEce the siege Of trenches
began. the Germans have fully held
their OWL The most satisfactory Of
all these encounters to the Germans
was the recent battle north and east
of Ypres. at which the English were
forced to give ground and were put
on the defensive This engagement
followed soon after the date fixed by
Lord Kitchener for the long promised
English offensive to begin-May /.
The Germans believe this second bat
tie OF Tpres has done more to con-
fuse the English and create discon-
tent among them than any other
event OF the war. BY every law OF
warfare, the British ought greatly to
have outnumbered the Germans. and
yet the latter were able to drive the
enemy back almost at Will Ypres it
self was saved to the English by lit
tie more than an accident The Brit
ish newspapers were preparing the
public for its evacuation when more
pressing interests demanded the at

The loss OF the western border OF
Alsace to the French is the only con.
tinental defeat the Germans must ac-
knowledge at the close of the first
year OF the war. The sentimental Inn
portance to the French OF seizing q
part OF Alsatian territory far out
weighs the military value to Ger
many Of driving the French ACROSS
the Vosges. At present the French
hold little more than the foothills OF
the Fosges- This they have been
able to do because the Alsatian
slopes OF the vosges are SO preciri-
ttous that troops coming down hill
have an immense advantage over
those trying to 90 uphill But II the
war goes far into its second year,
and II the eastern situation permits,
the French win have to climb back
