THE CABINET CRISES

LfOR the second time within a month the
strategic history of the Great War has
been dwarfed by the intensity Of a diplo-
Natic crisis. The resolution OF the Balkan
question was not completed with the dec
aration of Bulgaria and the postponement
has been as ineffective as choking fire with
sindling Yesterday the whole structure Of
Allied diplomacy seemed destined to ruin.
The change from Viviani to BRAND would
be almost without significance if it did not
involve a readjustment Of military relations
among the Allies NJ. Vivianis resignation
was Inevitable from the moment when it be-
came clear England either could not or would
not take the burden of the Serbian campaign
upon herself. The failure Of NJ Vivianis
colleagues in Greece and Rumana is not
definite, but is sufficiently marked to ag-
grayate a situation already intolerable. At
the same time, the strategic situation in the
west IL favorable only if France can rely
upon an unbroken line and ineXhaustible re-
sources. Both Of these are threatened by
the Balkan campaign.
In that vicious circle OF argument France
clearly sees that new attitude toward Eng
land must be found. Russia is a defeat ted
nation Italy is preoccupied with her own
struggle, England despite the oyerwheIm-
ing service she has given on the sea, has
neither been 80 affected nor so imperiIed as
her two major Allies. Now for the first time
Egypt and India are threatened and the Ger
man drive toward the Dardaneles may
strike England at the end. In the face Of
that disaster the British Cabinet. already
rlddled by criticism 70 which it cannot pre-
sent unanimous answer. will not persist

Fortcr's explanation of nc use made of the
fund raised to pay for an investigation into
the way the city has been run.
Porter owed no accounting to Connolly, for

But Connolly said he wanted to know, and
Porter has been waiting for just such a

They found out also that there were $4,000
fraudulent names on the registration rolls
in the city put there by the men who knew
that if there were fair vote they could not
continue in control

NOT "BEHIND THE TINES"

To the Editor Of the EUoHing Ledger:
Sr-I have had, and continue to have, so
much annoyance because Of an article printed
I'm your paper, that 1 will have to ask you to
correct IL i'm early issue.
The personal description of me was very i'm
pertinent; the misstatoment Of my views on
public questions was erroneous; the implication
Of unwashed windows was highly offensive and
the statement about old musty magazines lying
on my display counter calculated TO njure my
business.
The magazines your writer happened 10 catch
sight Of a special sale Of copies of "Phy-
steal Culture" which had been ordered oy a GUS
toner and never claimed or paid for by him. /,
therefore, rather than be at the loss Of them,
and knowing that they contained articles that
were Of perennial interest put a low price on
them 10 clear out the lot.

THE QUESTION UNANSWERED

WHY Berlin should have gone to the
w trouble Of repudating Robert Fay, who
claims he was sent here by the Imperial
Secret Service is hard to understand. No
one expected that Berlin would admit it's
connection with the man. National suicide
is not an everyday occurrence and it is a
tradition that spies when caught are to be
disowned. 1t remains for the courts to de-
termine whether Robert Fay or Baron
Mumm Won Schwarzenstein is telling the
truth.
If Robert Fay was not sent here with
criminal intent by the Secret Service of the
German Foreign OfHce-which may on the
whole, be assumed-by whom was he sent?
He had a certain command of money He
was better informed than any one man or
any small group Of men could be without a
large and powerful assistance Who sup
piled that money and that information? II
this is not a case of international injury, is
1t case Of treachery al home?

WHAT SCHOOLS ARE FOR

We hope to get the teacher and parent to-
Eether in common object that the well
fare of the child will be the first Consdera-
tion.-MTs. Schoh to the Pennsylvania Con-
Eress Of Mothers ana Parent-TeaCher Asso-
Citations.
THAT any one should think it necessary
4 to make such a statement is a sad COM
mentary on our system of public school edu-
cation. What are the schools for if the well
fare of the children is not put before every
thing else?
Many parents however, have discovered
that when there must be a choice between
what is best for an individual child and
modification Of a system the child must
suffer instead of the system. Then there are
educators who seem to regard children as
the raw material for pedagogical expert
mentation and are Indifferent to the effect on
the children when the experiments fail.
Before ideal conditions prevail there must
be many compromises between the anxious
mothers and the system bound teachers. The
mother thinks too much of the idiosyncra-
ces Of her little boy and the teacher is too
much absorbed in working the educational
machine. The activities Of the few associa-
tions of parents, already formed, are bene-
fitting the schools by giving the teachers
most of whom are young, unmarried women,
a new point Of view. The wise teachers are
welcoming all such help in their work, when
it is help and not merely medding by idlers.

IRELAND AFTER THE WAR

To !He Editor of the EreHiHG Ledger:
Sir Mr. Ginnel, NJ. F., made the fol-
lowing statement at a meeting I'm Mullingar re-
Gently: "Why should Ireland have any share
i'm a war the cost Of a war for which she
is not in any way responsible and by which
British rule forodooms her never to beneft9'
This quotation shows that even the NJ. P.s see
the writing on the wall, and will trim their
sails to Withstand the coming storm. No, there
are few fools left i'm Ireland, poor unfortunate
dupcs. They met the fool killer I'm France,
Flanders and the Dardanelles, and they were
later described i'm the obituary notices as
brave Enulishmcn." The people Of Ireland
have higher ideals than the Comparative
prosperity" at the expense Of other brave but
subject peoples. The message of Robert EN-
met TO the Irish people is not forgotten, and
before the present conflict Is ended we may
see a slab made from captured British cannon
on which an Irish sculptor will carve the name
of Robert Emmett. ]. NJ G..

AS TO SEGER

TT WOULD not do the eth Ward any harm
l. to defeat Charles Seger.
Mr.. Seger, Of course, is not responsible for
the high death rate in the ward, or for the
shameful mortality among infants, or for the
fact that tuberculosis is more prevalent in
the Seventh than in any other ward in the
city. But Mr.. Seger is in very large measure
responsible for the lack of adequate housing
laws and for underdrained alleys and open
vaults and other things that are a menace
to health Persistently and consistently he
has done what he could to prevent modern
sanitation in his own ward. He is too
busy to worry about the death rate.
Perhaps the voters Of the ward, those Of
them who do not want to die for Seger, will
vote for health and life and a representative
in Select Councils who will be busy in their
interests instead of his own

Have a Good Digestion

Good digestion usually means good
health. SO long as the stomach does
its work properly the liver, kidneys
and intestines perform their work per-
fectly. Permit anything to interfere
with the proper digestion Of food and
trouble is sure to follow.
An excess of acid, usually caused by
food fermentation is due to chemical
action in the food itself. This causes
the formation Of gas, wind as we'll as
acid, resulting in the unnatural disten-
ton of the stomach and the burning
by the acid Of the delicate lining.
Medicine and tonics do not relieve
this condition-they are apt to make 1t
worse. The fermentation and acid
should be overcome by taking tea.
spoonfuls Of Bisurated Magnesia OBJ
tanned from any druggist 1t stops and
prevents fermentation OF food and
neutralizes the excess acid instantly,
making it bland and harmless, with
out irritating the stomach in any way.
