for a period of thirty-five minutes Only the miraculous work of a phy- sician, hastily summoned, saved the man from death. Had the pulmotor not been left at the engine house when the members of the fire depart ment responded to the fire, it is said on good authority that the man would have been resusitated in a very short time. Now, had the city service truck, which must necessarily respond to every alarm, taken the pulmotor to the fire last night, mans life would not have been endangered. All this re- ouires is an order from the men who direct the activities of the fire depart rnent. It might be a good thing to have the pulmotor equipment attached to the service truck or any other vehicle that attends casualties. Bet ter that than to send some one back to the station for an instrument that at it's best is of service in emergency. This is a little matter worth thinking OVer

works and costly marbles have been carried away to beautify other coun- tries or have been wantonly destroy ed, yet, so rich was the classic com- monwealth that the remains of its marble beauty and fragments of it's embellishments still thickly strew the whole plateau of the Acropolis and much of the area upon its sides and base.
 New Athens has grown up around the remains of the mother-city. Al the end of the Greek war for inde- pendence, it was little more than decayed Turkish village, few crook ed byways and poorly built houses. IL is now a city of straight, regularly laid-out streets, of graceful boui- wards, airy squares, with many splen- did private and public buildings. The museums of Athens are of first i'm partance to students of classic art, becoming again an international seat and Athens, before the war, was fast becoming again an international seat of learning. It has developed a cer- tain trade importance in recent years. A great part of the Balkan import passes through Athens, and, in Peir- eous it's port, are situated a number of large mills and factories. The population of modern Athens is about 100000"

ChildlcSsneSs.
(Collier's Weekly.)

Dean Alice Vinton Waite, professor of English at Wellesley College, ad- mits the truth of recent statements that college girls marry late in life and bear few children. So, at least, we read some time ago in a despatch to Philadelphia newspaper, that con- tinues:
 The girl of today is not marrying young because she can support her self, and in many cases make a better living than Q husband could provide. The average woman of today averages one child. It is better to raise one healthy child and give it proper train ing and attention than to raise four and be obliged to neglect all.
 If our ancestors had lived down to this high-sounding principle, how many of us would be here to recom- mend lowering the birth rate? Pre- sumably it will be the less tenderly nurtured children of women below Dean Waites average who will inherit our America In the mean time. can any of our readers think of any good excuse for a woman in Dean Waite's position preaching sterility?

Washington, D. C., Nov. 27.- Athens, capital of Greece and the present capital of strenuous diplo- macy, the uncertainty of whose flu ture course is now engaging the breathless interest of all belligerent nations, is described in the following statement issued to the press today by the National Geographic society:
 Better fifty years of Athens than cycle of Cathay,' one writer phrases it, and, indeed, in respect to he greatness of it's past, the capital of the Hellenes is Queen among all of earth's cities. In this marvellous city, civilization was born and made per- feet and complete in the course of a few generations. It is the founda- ton upon which rests the modern cul- ture of the West; for classic Athens is still the teacher of the world and the final arbiter in things of taste.
 Out of Plato,' says Emerson, come all things that are still written and debated among men of thought It IS, at least, certain, that all of the germs Of philosophic thought are to be found in the teachings of the Greek philosophers who sought thelr folloWlngs in Athens, down to the time of Aristotle. In poetry, Greek genius created the forms and left 1 models for all ages. In sculpture and in architecture, Grecian achieve ments still stand unsurpassed; and the ruins upon the Acropolis sug- i gest structural beauties never sinca attained, while innumerable sculptur- | ed masterpieces of the Greeks fill alcoves in all the more important museums in the world. Such was the wealth of sculptured treasures in classic Athens, that one ancient wag declared that it was easier to find l a god in the city of Pallas than a | man.
 "To Athenian Socrates, rather l than to any other savant before or after him, belongs the honor of hav- ing called into being that inductive optimistic science, which today forms the warp of our civilization. With the homely, keen-witted and argu- mentative Athenian began that habit of thought which hopes, in time, uc discover the answer to all things in the things themselves. So, too l the dramas of the Greeks are stil ! the models of taste after more thar ! twenty-three centuries, and Sopho cles, greatest of tragic poets, is ye | to be outdone. Afschylus, Furnipides and Aristophanes, all part of tho genius of Athens, contributed to tha limited inheritance which is common to all the world. Tn truth, the ag' | of Pericles overshadows the French and Italian Renaissance. the era O Elizabeth, and the golden age of tn, Moors in Spain.
 Athens today is a shrine for til. | preservation of the memories of the l debt which the modern world oWc' i to the ancient Greeks. Most of the treasures of the ancient city have l been footed and destroyed by strarg- CTS, but enough is leaft to aid the visitor in crystalizing a picture of the city over whose destinies the Goddess | of Wisdom and Artif1ce presided Persian, Spartan, Macedonian, Roa- man, Venetian and Turk have plund- cred and ravaged here.

Imagine the feelings of the Yale team, for instance, fighting like mad to stem the onslaught of an immense ly superior team. The Yale captain catches a brilliant forward pass and lodges forty yards across the Harvard goal-line. The Yale stands go wild. But the field official has seen a little off-side play; he calls the ball back, cancels the touchdown and penalizes the team Is there a protest? Not word. not even minutes delay to let the decision sink in. The team takes the ball back and puts it into play as quickly as possible and with the same determination, while the stands renew their cheering.
 Would such a decision have been accepted by the players in a profes- sional ball game, or even by the spec tators? We doubt it. The experi- ence of professional ball during the past season has proved that close de- csions of far less importance will re- suit in umpire batting or even as- suits on the field officials by the play CTS, and bottle-throwing and impre- cations from the crowd. To the everlasting disgrace of professional baseball, be this said, and if the base ball magnates allow such a practise to grow, it will sooner or later be the death-blow of the game.
 One never sees a squabble, 8 row, or a disputed decision on a college football field simply because those in charge of the game enforce the rules with iron-clad rigor. And yet the unpleasant decisions are uniformly moro numerous and the penalties more drastic than in baseball. The professionals would do we'll to at tend the football games and learn, if they can, how to be gentlemen and sportsmen while playing ball.

Good SpOrtsmanship.
Bridgeport Telegram.)

In the interests of professional baseball, every baseball magnate should write in his contracts re- quirement that each player on his team should attend one or both of the big football games-Ya Harvard, or e-Princeton. What the men would see there would perhaps in time awaken their intellects to a con- sciousness of what is good sportsman ship in an athletic contest.
 One cannot conceive of game fought with greater determination than these big football matches. With crowds of fifty, sixty or even eighty thousand looking on, and the greatest of college athletic honors at stake. the teams play as though their very lives were in issue. And vet in no other game do the referee and field officials make such heart-breaking de- cisions and in no other game are these decisions received with such good grace and entire acceptance by the players.

soldiers Home.
Providence Journal.)

Soldiers homes and hospitals of great size and no little magnificence were built in various parts of this country after the Civil War when they were needed As the years roll by, the number of legitimate and de- serving inmates decreases in accor- dance with the memorable law of na- ture, but the homes and hospitals re- main. Once established, there seems to be no way of getting rid of a costly public institution that has outnVed US usefulness. Local interests demand it's maintenance and the salaried jobs in connection with it grow more at tractive as the work becomes lighter.
 The British Empire faces the first great call to care for disabled sol
 diers that has been made on it in hundred years The number need ing and deserving assistance of this chara cter is already great, and com plaints have been heard that no pro- vision has been made for such cases. Canada will look after her own, and a proposal has been made to establish permanent homes for disabled sol ders such as exist in the United States. The Toronto Globe opposes this plan and, using the United States as a, horrible example, says:
 Experience elsewhere, however, does not indicate that such 8 solution is the desirable one. These homes, when once established, would become a permanent and ever-increasing charge upon the community, and it is not at all likely that any trade or industry could be successfully car ried on in connection herewith. Tn the various soldiers homes estab- ished in the United States at the close of the Civil War many men have en- tered in early life, and are still be- ing maintained in these institutions. They live in complete idleness except

Some NcWSpaper.
(Grand Rapids News. !

Grand Rapids has an institution the like of which is possessed bv no other city in the country a news paper the two principal owners of Which are presidential possibilities The paper is the Grand Rapids Her. aid, and the principal owners are United States Senator William Alden Smith and Samuel w. Mccall gov- ernor-elect of Massachusetts.
 From our humble perspective tt seems as though there may be trouble ahead. There is a question as to just what the esteemed Herald will do with itself if the two principal owners get into a serious contest for votes in the republican national con- Vention. It will have to install two editorial pages, one for Mr. Smith and one for MT. Mccall, or something like that. or Editor Vanderberg will have to do the old circus riding stunt known as the Roman standing act, with one foot on each horse, and support both of his principal owners in the same editorial.
 However, if the matter becomes acute, the two principal owners Of the Herald may reach an amicable agreement as to which shall accept the honor by Tipping a coin, drawing straWs or playing game of crib bage. In the meantime there are other things to worry about and it will not be necessary for some time to call out the national guard to sur- round the Herald office.

Our Old Friend, Boy-Ed.
(AnSonia Sentinel )

It is no news to the observant American that Captain Boy-Ed of the German embassy has been implicated ln the plots against our neutrality since the opening of the war. The new Iact is that the government is now E.ble to establish what it knew very well from the beginning by legal evil dence. It appears from statements made at the trial of officers of the Ham burg American line that Captain Boy-Ed was the paymaster-ln-chlef of all of the German agents engaged in breaking our neutrality laws. At torneys for the defendant are willing to admit that the money was used for the purpose which the government says it was used and that Boy-Ed dis pensed it. What they do not admit is that it was accomplished by fraud. But they will have to admit that it was in plain violation of the law of the land; that it was a gross infringe ment of the neutrality of this coUn- try; that it was both in letter nd spirit contrary to the warning of President Wilson to keep the skirts of this country clean from all unneu- tral acts that might involve us with belligerent powers
 None of these things in the least interested C1llS a10laDle O1plOnldC, WHO, being immune to arrest and punish ment in this country because of his standing as a diplomat, capitalized the fact into treachery to us that appeared to him all profit but which may seem less advantageous when the whole story is told. It is difficult to see how the government can fail to act in the case of the attache, who has so grossly misused the privileges and immunities that are part of his position and a gift of our hospitality. That he should be sent home in dis grace for what has been proven against his in open court goes with out saying. If all that he had done in the last year could be brought to light it may be that something worse than disgraceful dismissal would be his portion. We do not know yet what other crimes against our neu- trality and our business interests he may have financed as the represen- tative of the kaiser. But we do know that he is no longer wanted here ln any capacity. He was smirched be- fore Now that he has been caught | with the goods the best thing for the 1 German embassy to do is to yoke him with Captain Won Papen and send him back home as fast as steam will | take them.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
Women Doing Their Part.

The fact that 25,OOO women are at present employed on railroads in France gives some idea of the part be- ing played by women in the great war game.
 1t Is no longer only as the humble housewife, biding uncomplaingly the time when her loved ones will return that the women in Europe are meet ing the war situation. If not actually on the firing line, they are at least engaged in work which heretofore has been regarded as purely in mans do- main.
 The great gaps in the various lines Of industrial endeavor made by the wholesale exodus of men to the front nave been filled by brave, cheerful Wo- men whose labors are quite as import ant Tn holding together the industrial units, as are the deeds of the men in the field.
 Ihe claim made against suffraglStS that they were not entitled to vote be- cause they could not fight, stands gooo snow of being riddled by the happenings in Europe the past year. Ii they oo not actually fight, they give an eXchange of service which is equally valuable
 what their status in the industrial world will be at the close of the war IS a matter of conjecture. The tre- mendous number of casualties and the huge number of maimed and incapaci- tated men makes one trenble for the future and an entire revolution in the industrial world as a result of the en- trance of large numbers of women in- to divers kinds of business previously open only to men, may be one of the results of the war.

KopriIi Described.

"Koprili which has been the vortex of the rapid battles fought in southern Serbia between the Bulgarians and the Serbian, French and English al- lies, is described as follows:
 "Koprili dominates the Vardar river valley and guards the way to Monastir, the last Serbian city and stronghold. It is situated on the upper middle part of the Vardar's course, in a whorl of ragged noun tains. The Saloniki- -Mitrovitza rail- way passes through the town, and, 1 with a short branch line from Salon. 1 iki through Vodcna to Monastir, 1 forms the only means of rail com- munication with the outside world
 remaining to Serbia. Koprili is, thus,
 town of great strategic importance; 1 for it's possession by the Allies keeps
 the way open for a re-occupation by 1 them of Serbia.
 "The valley in which the city lies
 is a narrow one, and on every side, 1 for miles around, stretch broken
 mountain lines. The roads through
 this region are little more than mis- | erable tracks through forest angles l and over rock -strewn hillsides. The
 best way in this country follows the | rivers course, parallel with the rail
 way, from Uskup, 25 miles northwest
 of Koprili, to Karasuli, across the | boundary in Grecian Macedonia.
 Serbia acquired possession of Ko- prili after the war of the Balkan 1 league against the Ottoman empire l in 1912. Before the transfer of the l city's allegiance, it was a hotbed of l Serbian, Bulgarian and Grecian na- 1 tionlism- propaganda. The city had | population of about 24,000 at the | outbreak of the war, and was de- veloping a brisk trade in silk. Null berries and corn were the chief pro- ducts of the valley around, and com
 merce in these articles brought Ko- | prili most of it's income.''
