TURNING THE TABLES.

Emperor Wilhelm has telegraphed the Grand Duke of Baden, now at the front his deep indignation at the . wicked attack upon beloved Karls- ruhe." The kaiser says the poor, innocent victims among civilians" have greatly affected him.
 Too bad. Poor, dear emperor! Those brutal French aviators! The kaisers lot is an unenviable one. Think of the terrible strain ne is un- der after receiving the news of burn ing bombs being dropped on the heads and houses of. his beloved peo-. pie of Karlsruhe, in Baden. It is a
 crime to make man cry after a hearty laugh. And the kaiser's sides have not yet receded to their normal
 position from his convulsions over the Zeppelin raids on Great Britain
 Who ever thought the French
 would adopt German [, methods. and
 drop bombs on thes heads of ris1npcens
 men, women and children. It is pre-
 posterous. It is an infringement upon
 rights. Is the kaiser to be robbed of his one great amusement? Are they going to break up his vaudeville show? Robbers! First thing we know the English submaricc f1otilla will come out of hiding, or from it's headquarters in. the British museum, and steal some of the methods employed by the Ger man underwater dogs,
 All of which goes to show that in these days of plagiarism, no man can really be original without his ene-
 mics stealing ideas. The French have stolen the bomb-dropping act, the thing in the legerdomain of the
 ocean, and next we might expect Russia to pilfer the Chlorine gas scene.' In this way Kaiser Will helm's well advertised show may be compelled to seek the small time" circuit.
 Tn the same despdtci1,- noting. the. kaisers deep indignation", oyer he Karlsruhe raid, there comes the fol- lowing cheerful line:
 Thirteen women, six children and five men were killed by the Zeppelin raiders of the northeast coast of
 England.'
 Can't the kaiser clear his lacnry-
 nal duct long enough to get a laugh" out of this?

A NEW PARTY?

Marooned on the island of public
 criticism, former Secretary of State Bryan has caught hold of plank and is trying to paddle his way back to 1 tthe shore of national approval. To this end he came forth in his second series of statements in praise of the course taken by President Wilson in the present international crisis.
 This is just the reverse of MT. rBry- ans stand not long ago when defiant ly he flung down his portfolio and mounted to the market place pI.t- form in denunciation of the methods of his chief. What is it makes the Commoner turn back after he. has put his foot into the cold waters of the Rubicon? Has he gotten too far out, or has somebody rocked the boat?
 Time is the great healer of all wounds, and MT. Bryan seems now to have recovered entirely from the sta bs and jabs received while in public of flee. Sensing public opinion for the first time since he unspun his famous Gross of Gold and Grown of Thorns' speech, he is ready to forsake the furious rabble who would cruelty Woodrow Wilson and, instead, throw away his thirty peaces of silver and come back into the fold. But it is too late. MT. Bryan has closed the door on himself. and his knocking will be in vain.
 In contrast to MT. Bryan's antics, President Wilson looms up as the one big man in the democratic party. It is to be hoped that when MT. Bryan departed from the Wilson administra- tion he carried with him his latest in- vention. "the one term plank No one else was responsible for putting that plank in the Baltimore platform. and had MT. Bryan been the candi- date for president at the time 1r would never have been brought 70 light by him. After having entered the race on three occasions he would probably want for himself three terms to make up for lost time. From the looks of things MT. Bryan's obituary has been written by the Democratic party. Like Colonel Roosevelt, he may go out and start an organization of his own. Republicans and Democrats would join in rejoic-- ing at such a step. The bull moose, the donkey and the elephant, being ir' use, the only other American animal available as mascot for such gath ering would be the goat.

The Balky Balkans.

(New London Telegraph.) r Rumania is said to be about to en- ter the war.
 There is a certain blood relation ship between the Rumanians and the Italians which, while very thin, is nevertheless basis for a considerable tie.
 The Rumanian ancestors were more Roman than are those of modern Italy.
 The world has expected that Ru- mania would not be long in following Italy's example.
 The reelection of venizelos Greece gives encouragement to the war party in that country, which is expected to join arms with the Ru- manians and Italians as soon as an agreement can be reached which will secure the support of Bulgaria also
 When all the Balkan states are united against Austria the aid to the allies must be very great. But the Balkan nations are so suspicious of one another that war begun toward the north may be vaged in dozen directions before it is finished.

tourist, America IS inviting it's own

tourist, America is inviting it's own peole to be it's guests.
 The vast majority of these lads were from watering places. Seaside
 resorts naturally have the alluring powers. and it is likely most Ameri- can families will take up their lug gage and hie themselves to those places where ocean breezes blow. Tn such event, especially if small child ren are taken along, newspaper read CTS from now on will feed not wholly on war news but on stories of dis asters at American watering places. It is surprising so many tragedies are enacted at the sea-shore each summer when the press of every state in the Union devotes this season of the year to warning people against not knowing how to swim. For some
 reason American parents are lax in
 teaching tiaeir children, or having them taught this essential of life. It is the one great crime perpetrated on the youth of our nation. Boys are forbidden to venture near places where they might easily learn to swim, and girls never dream of such a thing. Still, they are the ones who suffer from canoing catastrophies lat CT on in life.
 Those who live in inland cities. of course. have not the advantages en- joyed by dwellers near the water; but in every municipality these days there is usually a swimming pool handy Boys and girls should be in structed. The children should be taken at an early age. It is really as easy for a child to learn swimming as to acquire the faculty of walking merely practice. Once mastered, swimming is never forgotten Experts say that in two days any normal child can be taught to take care of itself in the water.
 In olden times, fishermen threw their youngsters overheard in great depths. It took but one lesson of this kind. Self preservation being the first law of nature, when it is a case of sink or swim, the youngsters somehow manage to get back to safe sty After reaching more mature age, however. the art of swimming is not so easily acquired. The moral then is:-"Teach Them While They're Young"

Way To National Safety. (NeW York Press)

' Charles J. Bonaparte has come very near to the true solution of get ting the country into satisfactory condition of military preparedness. His proposition is that the publAc cannot determine the size of the Army or. Navy; that it cannot decide what is needed; that it's business is to say what it expects of each, and that after it has said it is the busi- ness of the experts ana stategists to determine how large, how appro- toned and how equipped the service must be to meet requirements.
 MT. Bonaparte sums up his own idea of these requirements as fol- lows:
 1. The Navy should be Tn position to dispute command of the seas with any power save England on equal terms; this being necessary to pre- vent immediate invasion.
 2. The Army should be large enough to permit the concentration quickly at any coastal point of a force 50 per cent. greater than the force which any other power could dispatch here at once for purposes of invasion.
 He leaves it to the strategists to
  could send an expedition of 100000 or 100000 men across the Atlantic The difficulties of transport service, of provisioning and of maintaining com n1unications, which would determine the size of the invading army, are for the experts to estimate. What we need is the means to prevent invasion by whatever may be the numerically practicable force.
 All may not agree with MT. Bona rarte over the desiderara, though to most they will seem modest enough by any standard of defense. But he hits the nail squarely on the head when he intimates that what the nation is blindly, ignorantly groping for is ap assurance of sarety, and that it should ask boldly for it and leave to the authorities to determine what must be done to get it.

MEXICO, MY MEXICO.

Renegade Yaqui Indians are not the only ones looking for a fight in
 Mexico Now comes Provisional Pres
 ident Francisco Chazaro with yelled
 hint to President Wilson that he is ready to maintain the dignity of the
 Mexican people, . if Admiral. How ards marines and blue-jackets at tempt to rescue their fellow country men who are imprisoned in the Val ley of Yaqui, on the western border of Mexico.
 Evidently this provisional president
 of the villa-zapata faction,-for he,
 does not represent the whole of
 Mexico,--is seeking recognition and
 notoriety more than he is a fight with Uncle Sam. To be sure, his message to the White House embarrasses the administration, particularly at this time when we have so many irons in the fire But it is more than likely that Admiral Howard, com l mander- in chief of the Pacific fleet, l who is expected to arrive at Tobari l Bay on this very day, will do all in. ] his power to save the lives of Amer l jeans being persecuted' by Mexican l Indians, regardless of Chazaro. If the provisional president of the Villa -Zapata gang" had read care fully President Wilson's note of June | ;,, l Mexico, he would have seen written l therein the explicit statement that 1 the United States, while not desiring l to intervene in Mexican affairs, would have to resort to something l more forceful than 'Watchful Wait ing" if the leaders did not get to- 1 gether on some plan of peace and set l up a government in Mexico City rec 1 cognizable by the powers of the l world Instead of getting together, l the chiefs of the four different bands l have gone even further astray and I have made matters worse. They are l succeeding in gradually starving the innocent Mexican people to death,
 and when the American Red Cross l society attempted to ship food-stuffs
 over the Mexican border it was sent
 back with the caustio remark, Not l Wanted
 l Nc news has been received from the American colony in the Yaqui Valley l since last Tuesday. By this time
 these American citizens may have
 been completely annihilated. Secre- l tary Daniels has stated that Admiral
 Howard is to make every attempt to l save the lives of these people,. and. as soon as a rescue has been com pleted the American sailors and ma ! rines will be ordered to return to
 their ships and not establish any base or camp in Mexico.
 I If the so-called provisional presi- l dent objects to that plan he had bet ter adopt some method of saving. the
 Americans from the wild designs of
 Mexican Indians. Otherwise, there !, may be real invasion of Mexico, and
 the provisional president will have to make provision for new presiden- tial chair in some other spot.

A Real Peacenaker.
Philadelphia Ledger.)


 The award of the Nobel peace prize to Pope Benedict XIV honors a real peacemaker. The Pope has been using all his influence since the war began in order to bring about peace. He holds himself in readi- ness to act whenever the beligerents are Tn a mood to consider terms on "hlch the fighting can be stopped. He IS statesman enough to recognize the iacts as they are and to understand the 1utlllty of attempting the impos- slpie. He will yield to no man in ms objection to war and in his pref erence for peace. His high religious once makes him the most conspicu- ous living representative of the Prince of Peace.
 Benedict XIV has conducted him. self with wisdom and discretion in great world crisis when the faith of men has been shaken and when they have doubted that nineteen cen turles of Christian teaching has pro- duced any tangible result. But his faith has remained serene and clear. and his confidence in the ultimate triumph of the ideal has not been destroyed. He has not thought it necessary to indict Christendom. but has seen in the conflict the manifes- .tation of some of the sublinest and divinest human traits, along with some of the most bestial passions. He deserves the Nobel prize if any man has earned it in the last year.

 much for the health of future gen.
 erations. Dr. Charles A. Eastman,
 a Sioux Indian, who has attained prominence as a writer and lecturer,
 calls attention to the fact that Amer ica's phenomenal progress in almost every line has been accompanied by 8 deterioration of nerves and health and believes that more outdoor life is the only cure Learn to row boat, learn to climb trees, walk in your bare feet through the woods, and you will be- gin to live a normal life and grow in strength and health" was his ad- vice to 300 working girls who are camping in the New Jersey hills, whitherr they. were brought by Miss Anne Morgan and other prominent social workers of New York
 The vogue of camp life that is now spreading over the country will bring | manifold returns in addition to the temporary pleasure afforded. As a
 parallel movement to the many ac
 tivities now on foot for the promo
 tion of child welfare, it is a most
 effective means of interesting boys
 and girls in building a better foun-
 dation for physical we'll being. It is
 the outcome of a growing desire to
 renew the energies that have been exhausting themselves through the
 neglect of sufficient outdoor life by
 generations that have focused their
 attention too completely upon mater ial prosperity
