THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

RiVa,-'Recent despatehes from the Italian battieheids contained the in- formation that the outpost defenses of tine town of Riva had been cap tured from the Austrians after severe and prolonged struggles A descrip- ton of this quaint and beautiful south Tyroiese lake port forms the subject of war primer just issued by the National Geographic Society. which reads as follows:
 "Rixa is a bright. sheltered town. situated at the extreme northwestern end of incomparabie Lake Garda, sur rounded by a splendid mountains and with a hundred and fifty miles of rug ged Alps at its back Along the western bank of the lake from the city. the heights fall sheer to the water. and upon these heights. be- side the lake a picturesque rad takes its way over rock lodges. through tunrels and galleries. to Italy, only a few hours walk distant. The crzgs before the town are powerfully forti- Bed. and these defensive works are carried on among the mountains upon the eastern side of the lake.
 Considerable traffic passes through this small lake port. whose 4O0O citi- zens live largely upon transit trade and the entertainment of visitors. Timber, coal and fruits are the staples of its trade. 1t, also, has some in- dustry. the manufacture of paper and pottery; while silk-worms. fancy fruits and the olive are cultivated.

PEACE MUST BE PERMANENT.

There is again talk of peace in Eu- rope. This time it comes through . report which is credited to Germany to the effect that the kaiser is about to suggest to President Wilson and King Alfonso of Spain, as heads of neutral nations, that the central pow CTS are ready to talk of settlement
 The suggestion, if it is true, comes from the side which, because o9 the success it has had in invading the territory of its enemies, may consider it has the best opportunities for driy- ing the best bargain. That the Teu- tons are not being driven out of the west that they are practically holding their position in the east that the ef- fort to open the DardaneIles has not succeeded and the success which has followed the drive for the opening of communication between the central powers and Turkey furnish the op- portunity for the advancing of such a proposition cannot be questioned It is time when it would be likely to have an important effect upon any other countries which are considering the possibility of entering the war even though Germany and it's allies have not obtained any decisive vic- tory.
 It has not been disclosed that there is any disposition upon the part of the entente allies to entertain such an idea. The manner in which the plan for securing more enlistments in Great Britain is succeeding, the evidence that the allies are able to advance, though slowly, on the western front and that Russia has succeeded in checking the German invasion while Italy is push ing forward into Austria are facts which restrain the allies from the con- sideration of peace at a time when they feel they are bringing to bear in- duences which will ultimately crush the enemy, even though the Balkan sit- uation at present is unfavorable. Their ammunition difficulties have been solved and their operations in the Bal tic are bringing important influences to bear while confidence has by nc means abated. s
 It is a time when Germany may fee that it has given convincing evidence of it's powers, but it is seriously ques, toned whether the entente allies vii take any such view of the situation The test is too far from a decision tt ptrmit peace at this time to be per. manent, and that rather than a breath ing spell is what it must be whe1 it-,comes.

A SENSIBLE APPEAI

The need of maintaining the ship ping of this country on a competitive basis leads the National Foreign Trade council to lend it's support to the ef- fort for the elimination of the, harm fui features of the seamen's act which goes into effect next month. It is in support of the stand which has been taken by certain steamship lines, par ticularly on the Pacific coast that it is impossible under the prescribed regu- lations to continue to do business and there is no inaucenent offered to American capital to enter the field for the greater development of the Amer ican merchant marine.
 When it is shown that the new, law is detPfmsTlta1 to the conntry's inter ests it is but natural that it should bring forth protests from organizations other than steamship lines which are directly interested in things American How much consideration $the recom- mendation that the trade council has made to the government that the sea- mems act be. suspended under author ity to be- granted by congress until a shipping board is created which will devise means which will conserve American interests remains to be seen put tHeTe cdn De HItle question Du1 what it is a suggestion which ought not to be ruthlessly cast aside. The protests which the law raised before and since it's enactment gives suffi. cient reason for believing that its bad features far outweigh it's good one. and that it is not too late to relieve the situation if the proper disposition prevails. American shipping ought t, grow, but the new law has alread, begun to drive it in the opposite di
 rection to such an extent that it needl to be checked as soon as possible

scHooLHousE WITHOUT FIRE
 ESCAPES.

It was only a few years ago that the destruction of schoolhouse in an Ohio town resulted in the death of many children because of the condi- tions which prevailed there. It was followed by radical changes in the construction of such buildings and in fact all buildings of a public nature where many people gathered. Fire drills were instituted, outside escapes were required, outward opening doors were demanded by law and more than one exit was insisted upon for the pur- pose of offering every facility for the quick enptying of building or hall. The wisdom of such action was rec ognized throughout the country and lasting did the lesson from that ap- paling disaster promise to be. The reforms resulting from that demon strated lack of foresight have unques- tionably resulted in the saving of many lives.
 Because of the apparent necessity for complying with such building changes as that example called for, ii Is all the more deplorable that the re- port of the burning of a three story schooIhouse at Peabody, Mass, should disclose that 1t was not equipped with outside fire escapes, making it neces- sary for some to jump from the tor floor. No one likes to be a calamity howler, but that city has reason to re- gret that there was negligence in pro- viding or insisting upon the provision of proper means of getting out of g building under conditions when it is difficult to control older people, to say nothing about children, all because fl failed to anticipate just such a situa- tion as resulted and provide the need ed relief. It is possible that fire es. capes would not have prevented the loss of life, but had they existed there would have been the satisfaction oi knowing that everything possible had been done.

 At a meeting Of last years lacrosse team held last Saturday afternoon, J. I. Conroy, 1916S, was elected captain and J. W. OsEood 1916, manager for the season of 1916. On Monday eve ming of this week a meeting of those interested in the sport was held in the gymnasium. The attendance at this msating was most encouraging. It. will be remembered that this sport
 was revived last spring before which time Yale had not been represented since 1885. The prospects for the coming season are exceedingly bright. due to the fact that all the members of the 1915 team have returned to eol- lege and that several new members of the 1918, clas have played the. game in preparatory school. Yale has applied for admission to the Intercol- iegiate Lacrosse League. composed of Harvard, Cornell, Swarthmore Johns Hopkins. Lehigh. Stevens. and Hobart. Besides games with these teams plans are being made for a Southern trip during the Easter recess when other strong teams will be played.
 k At a meeting in Dwight Hall Sat trday evening plans were discussed in regard to the formation of Bu- reau of Free Legal Advice in the Yale Law School. Many of the larger law schools operate under a governing board of honor men in the Junior and
 Senior classes. Though organizatio of the Yale Bureau is not yet complete the general plan is to have board composed of faculty, highstand men of the two upper classes and the prac-
 ticing alumni in New Haven. Men will be assigned certain nights, either
 at the Law School or to attend cases
 in some of the Settlement houses of
 the city. This will serve the law
 school in much the same capacity as
 the clinic serves the medical school in that 1t combines individual ex-
 practical manner.
 On Monday afternoon the freshmen won the annual Fall track meet at Yale Field by a large margin. Of the 54 points made by the freshmen 1919
 contributed 32 while 19ISS contri-
 buted Z2. On the average the results last years fall meet, and this gives promise of good freshman material The Juniors with 23 points were given
 the second place. There were seven track and three field events besides the relay races. Numerals were awarded the winner of each event. Professor Hiram Bingham, Director

Battle IN every STATE

By United Press staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov 16.--ln
every one Of the hundreds OF congress
sional districts in the United States
today, the women are in convention
framing their local fights to pledge
Democratic and Republican national
convention delegates to favor national
suffrage planks in the party platforms.
These local conventions are under
the general national direction Of Mrs,
Medill Mccormick Of Chicago, an Off
cial Of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. The suffragists
in each district will pledge their sup
port to pro-suffrage delegates. Much
time will be spent interviewing candi-
dates. In States where national party
delegates are chosen by State con-
vention, the suffragists will concen-
trate upon pro-suffrage county dele
gates.
"Suffragists in every State in the
Union" said Mrs. Mccormick will
make it a point to have big demonstra-
tions in the home town OF every candi-
date for the House or the Senate. This
campaign launched today is but the
minor prelude to the big fight we are
going into for national suffrage this
winter"

THOUGHTS OF
MEMENTOES
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
BY JAMES 7. cRoZIER.

How precious to look upon something
today
Worn by that one, now under the sod
How precious to think, though long gone
away,
How oft by our side they have trod
Many years have gone by since we laid
them to rest,
But how plain we can see that form
yet,
And the dear little snoe or the stocking
or dress,
Call up scenes that we cannot forget.
The memories that linger in some
mothers heart
Are precious, though often cause pain.
But sweeter, far sweeter, if they do
their part,
Is the thought they shall meet them
again.
In that bright beyond, where no night
shall come.
And where parting is something I'M
known
IT'S the promise of Jesus when we reach
that home,
wen DC WelcOmed py tim near inc
Throne.
The gates shall be open for all who love
Him,
Aud Eternity there they shall spend
In that land Of the blessed, whcr,
cometh no sin,
Aud with Jesus, that dear loving
friend.
The walls are Of jasper, the street,
paved with gold,
And where flowers are eyer in bloom
And another sweet we shall never grow
old,
And for all there is plenty OF room.
We never shall know just how far o.
how near
Is the day we shall all reach the end,
II we accept Jesus while dwelling dow
here,
