lay. There would not be so much
delay with draw, however, as there
is under the present plan When
somebody carelessly pushed the bridge
off some weeks ago, the experts de-
cided that Spaulding's glue was no
longer the best way of holding the
bridge in place. 1t could not be nailed

Dictionary Lore.

"Poison" and 'potion" are doublets,
the former being an older form of the
latter. Both are derived from the
Latin ''potare," to drink, and poison
in it's original sense signified merely
something to drink.
While the word human used as
meaning "a human being is now only
colloquial or humorous, Lowell in the
introduction to the "Biglow Papers,
chided Bartlett for including it in his
Dictionary of Americanisms'' and re-

Balm of Gilead.

The real balm of Gilead is the dried

for the amount of balm yielded by one
shrub never exceeded sixty drops a

or balsam of Gilead was one of the
presents given by the queen of Sheba
to King Solomon. The ancient Jewish
physicians prescribed it evidently for

What Italy Is Fighting For.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Allow me through your valuable paper
- thank Mr.. Arthur Bennington for his answer
20 Mrs. Boissevain's letter on Italy. As a
reader of The Tribune had read Mrs. Bois-
sevain's articles about Italy joining in this
European war and knew that her voice was
that of the minority. From many falan
clients | hardly heard one protest against
italy for having Joined tn. Allies They all
agreed that Italy could postpone the confic'
no longer That the time was ripe to redeem
Trent and Trieste and all other ancient ltal-
ian possessions, especially where the major
ity of the people are Italians. The great
Italian patriot Mazzin said that Italy should
not rest until automatically or otherwise she
was wholly united from the Alps to the to-
of the peninsula, including the islands around
and about it; that this constituted Italian
sell by divine gift.
Italy, like other warning nations, is fight
ing for her existence. If she did not join
in this war she would be compelled to fight
later And if her people can be freed now
why wait until later? She has never loved
Austria much. because Austria never loved
her. She was her ally through policy OF
state She has often been abused by Austria,
any time if it were not for Germany, who
patched up the wound somehow.
There will be wars and rumors of war as
long as men are greedy, selfish and naughty.
To avoid war men must love each other, no
matter of what race, color or kind. Atheists
anarchists, hypocrites, money lovers, must
reform; they must be taught and they
must train their will and restrain their habit
man mind can give. And only when rcn
know that they are made for world better
than this will war cease. Otherwise, after
this war there will be another May God
keep us from it, JOHN MAZZEI.

4 characteristic example of German
method and foresight was discovered by
General Botha in the course of his vic
torious campaign in German Southwest
Africa. He found set of maps recast-
ing the map of Africa as the Germans
have determined to establish il hy a
treaty which, it appears. is to be con-
cluded next year in Rome. According to
this important project the whole CONT
nent south of the Equator is to be Ger
man, with a minute fragment of territory
set apart and labelled "Boer Reserve
General Botha made some further dis
coveries of interest. He learned that
Maritzs intriguing began in 1913 and
that when on the outbreak Of war Marltl
requested Germany to provide him with
munitions and a promise of support the
Kaiser with great generosity replied with
the following message: 81 shall not only
acknowledge the independence of South
Africa. but even guarantee it, provided
the rebellion starts Immediately"
His curiosity concerning German prom
Uses and German performances led Gen
eral Botha ultimately to an investigation
Into the history of the Hereros uprising,
which was supposed to have resulted IN
the massacre of many white women and
children. What was my establishment,
saws General Botha, ION reviewing the
monument at ,Windhoek to find that only
one child had persisted. On the other
hand, according to their own figures, the
Germans had killed 21,000 Hereros."
Remembering Louvain, it is difficult to
account for the establishment Of the gal
liant Poer. In comparison with one Ger
man. of what value are twenty thousand
of any other race? If there is any cause
for establishment it is in the simplicity of
Maritz. who apparently put his faith If a
guarantee made in Germany.

Feathers at a Discount.

From The Dundee Adrcrtiscr)
Paris, as the great seat Of fashions for the
ladies, has received touching petition from
hose engaged at the Cape in the ostrich
feather trade. 1t seems that since the war
there has been little or no demand for ostrich
plumes, and that, in consequence, farmers
who rely upon ostrich breeding as their main
source of profit have been severe losers.
Those who rule the fashions in Paris are i'm
plored TO revive the popularity of the ostrich
feather, and are also asked to make more
generally known the fact that there is no
more cruelty in relieving the ostrich of its
feathers than the sheep of its wool. The
feathers grow again, and the bird is no worse
:or an operation conducted skilfully and
painlessly. 1t is unfortunate, however, that
ostrich plumage is distinctly luxury, and
that luxuries are not being encouraged while
II great conflict, with all the sacrifice it
needs, continues.
