Stories of the War

the Ottoman army are available. But
IL is certain that their influence in the
Ottoman army is great Many obser-
vations induce the Associated Press
correspondent to say that the Turk
makes an apt pupil in military mat
tiers. He loves nothing better than to
feel that he Is a smart soldier. This
Is tho weak side which the German
officer appeals to with good results.
The point upon which the Germans
have concentrated their greatest ener-
gy is the Dardanelles, with the CALI
poll Peninsula Since last November
have German officers and non-commis-
stoned men been busy here. The va
rious batteries have been improved by
them, new ones emplaced, and Turkish
artillerymen have been been given such
additional training as was needed. The
story of German endeavor In those
parts. when ultimately it may be told,
will make most interesting chapter
in the history OF the present war.

the National Geographic Society at
Washington This iron crown came
to the Lombards and TO it's fame
through the gift of Pope Gregory the
Great, who presented IL to a German
princess as reward for converting
her eonsort to Christianity.
Theodolinda was the daughter Of
q Bavarian king. Reasons of policy
brought about an arrangement Of her
marriage to Autharis, King OF the
Lombards. Theodohnda was princess
of unusual charm and beauty; and, the

RESULT oFSA DEcADEKoF AeITA,

Some people do not believe in agi-
&ation--they do not see the good of
making an issue and sticking to it like
grim death to a Niger; but the agita-
ton for ten years for a safe and
sane Fourth has shown that sense
less hilarity can be Impressed and re-
strained by persistent effort.
Ten years ago when the Chicago
Tribune led the forces for a safer and
q, better celebration Of independence
day the loss OF life from accidents
connected with celebrations had risen
Ito 466. a loss of life larger than that
at the battle of Bunker Hill.
The campaign for safer and bet
ter conduct of celebrations has been
well and persistently conducted and
the accidental loss Of life on the
Fourth was for 1915 and 9 for 1914,
making total of IT for two years
against 466 for the year 1903
This shows good and satisfactory
work. The reformers have worked with
. will and the results stand to their
credit May sanity in this cause never
again yield to insanity.
