THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Uskup, the latest Servian town to be added to the battle flooded region in the Balkans, the most important cen ter in the south of the kingdom, Is described in a statement issued today by tho National Geographic Society The primer reads as follows:
 Dominating the southern part of Servia, a center of manufacture and storehcuse of supplies, the city of Uskup. situated 160 miles northwest of SaIoniki, in a picturesque valley at the foot of two mountain ranges. the Shar Planina and the Kara Dagh, is a place of first military importance as a base of Servian defense against the north and east. Although a city of come size. possessing more than 30se00 inhabitants and a number of busy fac tories. it has more of a rural expect than that of a town when compared with Nish and Belgrade.

GERMAN CONSERVATION.

Just becAuse the German govern ment is taking charge of food supplies and designating certain days on which meat cannot be sold or served, days when fats and lard cannot be offered for sale and certain other commodi- ties restricted does not of necessity mean that that country Is getting down to hardpan when it comes to foodstuffs. It is to be remembered that during the early days of the war the necessity of conserving the sup plies was recognized and the people were given instructions concerning them which they were required to ob- serve. This has unquestionably pro- duced the results desired, which with the saving secured through the meas ures now prescribed and the an- nouncement that the crops are satis- factory ought to contribute materially to the prevention of any possible starving out of the nation.
 Germany to all appearances has an- ticipated long in advance just what it can depend upon in the shape of resources and it is regulating the use of them in accordance herewith. That it has been handicapped in many ways by the blockades instituted by the al- lies cannot be questioned but it is through conservation that it must overcome them, the need of which has been increased by the activity of the submarines in the Baltic. Not only is this likely to cut off supplies of provisions, but 1t places a tremendous check upon the importation of metals and ores so greatly needed in the pro- duction of ammunition. Germany has long been utilizing everything in the way of scrap that could be collected, but until there is evidence to the con- trary it must be looked upon as pro- visions against a rainy day made suf- 1iciently in advance to preclude the possibility of a shortage.

YAuE.s ATHLETIC STANDARD.

Appeals have been made to Yale by the athletic authorities of Harvard and Princeton for the reinstatement of LeGore and the other athletes who have been barred from future partici- patton in that colleges sports because of the breaking of the rules concern ing professionalism.
 It is recognized by these institutions that the disbarring of these men amounts to the crippling of the Yale team, a. fact which is thoroughly un- derstood by Yale. and it is apparent that the appeals come for the purpose of eliminating any onesidedness which is likely to result because thereof in the big football games which are vet to be played. Yale's weakness doesn't need to be pointed out and even though it might not present a cham pionship team with those men rein- stated, it would nevertheless be a rep resentative aggregation.
 Just how Yale can comply with the requests, if it is inclined to, is difi- cult to understand since the action which it has taken has been for the purpose of maintaining standard in athletics and that cannot mean one thing now and something else at an- other time, if it is going to amount to anything. Just because the dis barring of players cripples a team ought not to be used as an argument for overlooking the penalty in one case and applying it in another. If 1t is going to amount to anything all must be treated alike, else there is no standard and those who are the star players will feel at liberty to break the rules where the less inn portant player is called strictly to account. Yale cannot consistently re- instate the men and look upon it's &C., tion as proper discipline.

Under the government of Carranza in Mexico, which has been recognized by this country, the protection of American lives and property is de- manded. This doesn't mean that this country is prepared to go into Mex ico for the purpose of helping out the recognized leader, but it is will ing to do what it can to support that government and put down the revolu- ton that exists.

PUNISH THE SELLERS.

A decision of much Importance be- cause of the position that is taken is that which has been handed down by the federal court at Memphis, Tenn, relative to the Harrison drug act, wherein the judge maintains that it is the drug peddlers and sellers, rather than the unfortunate victims who should pay the full penalty.
 It must be recognized that if there is going to be a stop put to the sale of habit forming drugs, that it is necessary to do something more than apprebend the users. They may be arrested and fined or sent to a hos pital, but unless their, detention re- suits in making new men of them they are open to the same temptations just the minute they get out unless there is determined effort to drive out of business those who stand ready to furnish them with the harmful mar cotics.
 Though it remains to ~be deter mined whether the users of drugs are not to be included under the provi- sions of the act it is of prime inn portance that the dealers and peddlers should be given the greater attention. The victims usually indicate in some way or other who is responsible for keeping them in slavery and when concerted effort is made to drive those people out of business real benefit will be provided not only for the in- dividual, but for humanity in general Tor as long as they are tolerated they are a menace, holding out a trap for the uninitiated as we'll as encourage HleIlt for those addicted. The drug lViI should be fought at every f11ru but too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the need of giving full and deserved punishment to those who make handsome living from the de- moralization of others

 Judge James T. Meskill of New Britain has advised policemen of that city not to arrest any more people for violating the city ordinance in refer ence to leaving vehicles in front of fire hydrantS, but to give them a warning first. He made the sugges- tion that signs warning traffic of the ordinance be placed in conspicuous places on or near the hydrants. His advice and suggestion are both good. Many people are unfamiliar with the ordinance and to arrest them with out warning for simply leaving a ve- hicle in front of a hydrant seems to he a rather strict enforcement of the law But if they are warned and disregard the warning they ought to be arrested.-Naugatuck News.
