Plight of swltzerand.
(washington star.)


 With the entry of Italy into the war in Europe. Switzerland becomesi entirely surrounded by fighting na- tions. Herself strictly neutral, main> tained by general agreement of the4 powers during a long period as aa buffer" state, she is forced by the circumstances of war into a aitualSon ! of complete isolation. Her frontiera( are crowded close by the belligerentsI Where her territory touches FranceX and Germany on the north she has several times suffered from the hostile ities between those powers. Now on the southeast she will be similarly adjacent to actual conflict whie hI cannot fail to inJurc her. It is Bos7 sihle that through the development o1 the war she will be hemmed in ou all sides by actual conflict.
 These conditions bear most griev ously upon switzerland. Her chic trade is that of entertaining tourists many thousands of whom hosk td her each season for rccreation. Tha trade is. now virtually destrRcdI Meanwhile she has been cof1peiled| out of motive of humanity, to cart for many refugees from the fighting zones, and the burden put thus upoil her is very heavy. Her manufactur CTS are such as to suffer seriously from the plunging of Europe int. war ana she is selling praciically nothing to the world. It has yeeHN necessary to keep large force arms since the first days of the wai to prevent violations of her frontieraX and this has put heavy expens, upon her.
 1t is impossible to feel otherwk than with the kcencgt symra.hy fo this little nation of pcace-loving peo pc, thus cruelty brought into dis trcssing condition by a war for whic they arc in no wise or degree fesponI sible, yet which has shut them" VI from their ordinary sources of fn come and laid burden of cost apo bear.

 Another possible German hostage is President F. $. Luther of Trinity, who is quoted as saying: ~I favor the most thorough ana complete preparation for resistance to any at tacks upon the nation. We should have a powerful army ana an equally powerful navy. Our young men should be taught at least to shoot straight, to take care of themselves in the field, to speak the truth, tq{n- Jure no man, and to fear no man.' We are equally sure that President { I.uther's desire for strong army and navy. and for young America to be kept up to his traditionai accuracy of air, is not on account of any thought of self protection, but rather out of patriotic feeling as to the general need and obligation of the country. His reference to shooting straight in-) dicates that he has been ressding Trevelyans History of the Americap Revolution, for in the accounts of every battle there special emphasis Is laid on the astonishing uarksmanshlp Of the American sharpshooters, who picked off the British officers with deadly discrimination.

Utah's Unique Declaration.
(Providence Journal.)

Providence Journal.)
 This years state legislatures. as rule, under the pressure of public opinion, refrained from passing laws hostile to investments. If many stat utes, conceded to be unnecessary or bad in principle, remain unamended, no action was taken on a long list of promoters Of new plans for attacking legitimate business enterprises were practically told that the present time is inopportune for more drastic legislation" To this extent the work of nearly ali the legislatures can be commended.
 The record at the Utah State House, however, is unique. Tn ad- c.jtion to refusing to antagonize capital the Utah lawmakers expressly pro- claimed themselves friendly to every one who has a dollar for investment in that state. Before adjournment the legislature passed resolutions pledging the state to the policy of the square deal for laborers, homeseekers and capitalists. Thus:
 'The state of Utah by and through it's lawmaking body does hereby in vite to its midst the humble and honest laborer from whatsoever cline, who would better his condition, the hcneseeker who would set up his household goods in a new country to his better advantage, the investor of capital who would seek sound and profitable investment; all under the certain assurance that their rights, liberties and properties will be jealously safeguarded and held in sacred trust by the government of the state.'
 It might easily be inferred from this declaration that the people of Utah believe that in some parts of the country there has been a disposition to depart from the wise principle of 'jealously safeguarding rights, liber- ties and properties VIII states like Oklahoma, Iowa or Texas, for ex- ample, see that the coat nts them, and profit accordingly

 All over the country there s-been a remarkable rush for naturalization papers lately It began with the sink ing of the Lusitania. The heaviest de- mand was naturally in the most pop ulous center-New York city. The county clerk reported that 70 per cent, of those applying for their first papers were Germans, and most of the others were Austrians. I've seen nothing but Teutonic faces in my of flee for two weeks" he remarked. And county clerks in many other commun- ities nave told the same story.
 It is another evidence of the fact that the people of Teutonic origin in this country, even those who have arr rived most recently and so have been least influenced by American institu- tions. are Americans in spirit, and

ONE SUMMER NIGHT.
 (By Bish K. Ibble.) When the daylight fades and cool

 Springs up from the glade below, sit underneath the spreading trees, In the twilight after-glow; Through the gathering gloom of night,
 there floats The katy-did's chant that cheers, And the fireflies dance to the ryth-
 mic notes,
 When the glistening dew appears. From the leafy darkness of a tree,- With wearisome monotone,- A tree toad filled with insistency, Is chanting a constant drone. And as if it in protest to it all, The chirp of a drowsy bird,- Tn tree beside an old stone wall,- Tn an anxious tone, is heard.

 whine
 That ends in a sobbing cry. Iris screech owl, and the weird song That is forced upon my ears, Quite often lives through the whole
 night long, And dies when the dawn appears. I hear the bark of Lonesome dog Tn the valley down below, While the crickets chirp meath stone
 and log @ As the evening shadows grow. No strident 'ehonks' from a motor Or the smell of gasoline Arise on the scented air, to mar The joys of this peaceful scene. Now the darkness comes, and the
 dew of night
 Falls around me, cool and damp, And the moths play tag in the shaft
 of light
 That's thrown from my kitchen
 lamp. Then I watch them fit, in a semi-doze From the depths of my old chair, While the scents from Towering
 shrub and rose
 Float aroud me through the air. Oh this is the time when the insects When the atmosphere abounds With their pleasing notes, both sad
 and gay
 That blend with the woodland
 sounds. Sweet music 'tis to my listening ear, And peace to my mind it brings Oh it's certainly fine to sit out here, Alone with the bugs and things. And now with a wicked slap, I swing On the lobe of my right ear; Mosquitoes bold and with vicious
 sting,
 In hungry swarm appear. AS they buzz and hum about my dome, silently cuss and swear- I sweat and scratch, then fume and
 foam And savagely paw the air. To my domicile I madly race And light up some Chinese punk, Then rub stuff on my hands and
 face,
 And make for my humble bunk Now behind my screens have no fear For their pesky bitees and stings,- Oh it's certainly fine to be in here Away from the bugs and things.
