who think interference with
what they call natural growth
and any kind of originality is a
sin. To them town planning,
and even projects for improve
ment and better housing condi-
tons, are visionary; for they
look to individual regeneration
for all measures of reform. This
is unsound judgment for in it
lies the failure to appreciate the
fact that the city and the homes
that constitute part of the city
are artificial creations, and that
in all things artificial we have
to improve as we progress and
regulate as we grow.
Then there are others who
think that all things fanciful
and picturesque are fads, there
fore town planning is a fad.
That is because they have failed
to inquire what town planning
is or have been mislead as to
it's meaning.
The frequent assumption that
town planning relates only to
the aesthetic side of the city life
and does not enter directly into
it's business, it's ethical and its
public health conditions, is re-
sponsible for this error. 1t is
desirable that citizens should
aim at making their city beau
tiful, that they should endeavor
to give expression in fine build
ings and streets to their civic
ideals, but these things after all
are only the coping stones of
the city structure, of which the
foundation is the efficient work
shop and the healthy home.
We see then how broad based
town planning is. We see also
that the improvement Of hous-
ing and sanitary conditions is
not detached from planning, but
is an essential part Of it. Says
one who makes study of these
things, "The proper time to
plan existing cities as a whole
has passed, but we can plan the
portion that is likely to be built
up in the next forty or fifty
years" Up to the present most
cities have been built up any,
how. When DR.. Brown asked
the little girl, "Who made your"
she said, God made me so far"
indicating her baby stature y
"And l grew the rest myself. !"
The same may be said Of many
of our American cities. They
have been endowed by Provi-
dence with beautiful sites and
might be said to have grown the

In making swiss curtains it is
a good plan to wash, thus shrink

other cotton curtain materials,

material first, shrinkage should

after the swiss has shrunk let

Put the casing for the rod at
the top of the curtain in with a

the sewing can be easily ripped

GERMANYS AIM IS PUzzLING
MAY BE PLANNING TO INVOLVE
U. S. IN WAR.
Following Blowing Up of Outright,
Washington is Curious as to
Teuton Policy.

Washington, May 5.-The shock and
surprise from the blowing up Of the
Gulhight with the loss Of three lives,
has given place in Washington to Gu
riosity as to what Germany is up to.
No one seems to be able to deter
mine the purposes back Of the course
which the German empire is pursuing,
and improbable as it seems, there is
a growing feeling that Germany may
be planning deliberately to involve this
country in the European war.
This is what makes the situation so
tremendously serious, and the serious
ness of it is not minimiZed by anyone.
Silence at White House.
At the White House and at the Of
fee of Secretary of State, silence is
the watchword. There will be moth
ing said or done until every fact and
detail is learned. What may be done
then if the facts are as originally re-
ported, is shrouded in mystery
Secretary Bryan has acknowledged
the official confirmation Of the torpe-
doing of the Gulfight from Consul
Stephens at Plymouth but explained
that the consuls report was evidently
that of one who was reporting hearsay.
He said that steps had been taken to
find out the facts in the case.
When asked if the present incident
| was comparable to others that had
gone before, the Secretary smiled and
said he did not care to make any COM
PARSONS.
While the seriousness Of the situa-
ton is recognized, there is no evidence
that any one connected with the adj
ministration is losing his head.
Difficult for Administration.
No matter how serious the present
incident may prove to be, it is thought
that some way may be found out of
it unless Germany is determined to
bring about trouble with the United
| States. That is why curiosity as to the
game which the German government
is playing has taken the place, in a
measure, of the interest in what has
| been done.
It is apparent that by heaping one
incident on top of another, the Ger
man government is making it progress
sively difficult for the administration
to hew as closely as it wishes to its
| program of neutrality.
After each incident, the American
| government has had to crawl out the
hest it could with little or no help
from the German government and the
fear is expressed that eventually the
government may lose its capacity for
| crawling

POINTS IN TURKEY BY
ENGLISH.
FRENCH CAPTURE CAPE KALEH
Allied Fleet Covers Landing OF Sol

of Forts in the Dardaneles--~
Take 500 Prisoners.

London, May 3.-After serious fight
ing in which the Turks offered stub
born resistance, British troops, accord
ing to an official statement just issued,
have established themselves on the
Gallipoli peninsula and advanced
considerable distance toward the mar
rows of the Dardanelles, where the
French have cleared Cape Kun Kaleh
on the Asiatic side of Turkey.
It. may be said that the second and
most serious attempt to force the OAR
danelles has been fairly launched.
The Turks, under the guidance OF
their German officers, placed every OBJ
stacle in the way of the invaders, but
against the fire of the Allied fleet and
the galantry of the army they we're
forced to fall back. The British forces
lost heavily in the operation.
Land at Six Points.
Six points were selected for the
landings, which commenced at day
light. At five points they were i'm
mediately successful, but at the sixth,
near Seddul Bahr, the troops were I'M
able to advance until the evening. The
British troops disembarked at the eX-
treme end of the peninsula. They
reached Krithia, which is on the road
which runs along the peninsula and
over which they will join their COM
rades from the oversee dominions and
attack the forts guarding the narrows
in the rear.
The French took possession Of Cape
Kaleh after they had previously at
tackled toward Yeni-Shahr, to the south
on the Asia Minor coast.
Fleet Covers Landing.
While this was proceeding, the fleet,
besides covering the landing of the
forts in the Dardanelles and prevented
re-enforcements from reaching Turkey
from the Sea of Marmora. One Turk
ish troop ship was sunk by the British
battleship Queen Elizabeth, which is
believed again to have been firing her
big guns across the peninsula, directed
by airmen. The troop ship was sunk

Allies Capture 500 Men.
The official account OF the landing
of the Allied troops does not bear out
the over-optimistic reports from Gre
clan towns which preceded it and
which mentioned thousands of prison
ers as having been captured, the total
of men taken by the Allies having been
given as 500. These were cut off by
the fire of the ships. Neither does the
report mention operations off Smyrna
nor in the Gulf of Saros, against the
Bulair line of forts, but it is certain
that these points are being watched to
present re-enforcements reaching the

AS the clerk read the names, each
man assented to the verdict. Then
there was brief legal formalities and

released temporarily in custody of his
