 The Russian, French and English consuls had left Van by mid-Novem- Der but all through December Trea- surer w. w. Peet, of the boards s headquarters In Constantinople, was able to communicate with Van as well as with other stations and on Jan. 13 the state department in Washington forwarded to the boards office in Boston a cable message dated December 26 reporting "all American and Canadian missionaries in Van and Erzroom safe and wcll''
 Within week the officials of the board. in Boston have received let ters from more than two-thirds of it's stations in Turkey. some of them have been more than q month on their way. some even longer; some are written in German. some in French, although the ban on the use of English has now been removed and correspondence will doubtless from now on be easier.

s45ritain has decided to have boxing ex- nibltions they ought to be what they are advertised to be. If principals break their agreements there should be some way to reach them by way of the infliction of a penalty It may be impossible to bring them into court but the facts should be reported to the boxing commission in New York, so that they may be prevented from participating in another fiasco wherever that commission has author ity. It is the only way by which there can be any attempt at reform in what Is really an annoying problem for both management and spectators. This Is done in several places, so that unless boxers are on the level, they can be punished by body which holds in it's hands the power to pro- tect those who employ and those who pay to see boxers at work. If they will not keep their agreement they will soon find that they cannot box in New York, and then they will be re- garded as so untrustworthy that there will be no demand for their services. and managers and public will be saved from further annoyance because of their failure to live up to their agree ment It has been said that box CTS are difficult men to get along with and this is evidently correct. made so by the very nature of the business, but should be distributed over larger number of people and as a result be obliged to suffer a financial loss.

Will Enforce the Bird Law.
(Newarll. N. J., News.)


 The government has given notice that it intends to enforce the pro- visions of the federal migratory bird law prohibiting the shooting of such birds in all states, except between specified dates: and this in spite of the opinion of former Attorney Gen eral Carmody of New York, the de- Clsion of Judge Elliot of the United States district court of South Dakota and a similar decision of Judge Trier of the United States district court of Arkansas, to the effect that the law is unconstitutional. New Jersey has not, as yet, claimed that the Mclean law is invalid. but joint resolution has been introduced in our legislature requesting the federal game commits sion to change it's rules regulating the open season for shore birds and web- footed water fowl. The governments & determination to enforce the law as if stands will probably bring it before the supreme court and then we will know whether migratory birds belong to the states into which they chance to fly or are the property of the whole nation, which they benefit. And the sooner this question is settled the better for the birds, if it is settled right.

As to Americans in Turkey.
(EXchangc.) {

More than 200 people located in as many Outsta tions represent the American Board Of Commissioners For Foreign Missions in Turkey and the Balkan states at present With fighting going on in practically all directions around them 1t is rcassur- ing to know that the mission schools are proceeding as usual with full at tendance; the mission property is re- spected; and in most cases the mis- si ionaries are being treated with con- sideration. Some supplies consigned to mission stations, notably medicines, have been requisitioned but friendl- ness to Americans has seemed to he the rule.
 Trebazo on the shore of the Black sea, reports that it was expe- dient to fly the United States flag over all the buildings for a few days. Quiet soon followed, however, and business proceeded as usual Erz- room, forty miles from the Russian frontier, and Van in Eastern Turkey, have been nearest actual battle grounds In Erzroom the boys school and the girls school-large, well built houses-have been thrown open for the use of the wounded brought in from the country round Dr. Case of Erzroom is being aided by Dr. Clark of Sivas. who left his hospital in charge of his native assistant and came to assist in the operating and in the difficult treatments necessary in taking care of men suffering from wounds and exposure in the intense cold of that mountainous region.

Question of Responsibility for icy
 Walks Raised.

Editor of Herald:-
 I should like to ask information in regard to the following: A resi- dent is informed that there is ice on his sidewalk; he at once orders that sand be sprinkled on it. In about two hours he finds the spot uncovered and as dangerous as ever The school children have scattered the sand in their efforts to make d sliding place and l notice 1t is done everywhere on the sidewalks where there is a bit of ice. -Can the owner be held responsible for people who fall on these sliding places when he has already tried to remedy the difficulty by putting on sand? or is it up to the school children? It seems to me that most of our boys and girls are old enough to know better than to do what is going to make it dangerous for pedestrians. If they do not know, it would be we'll for the teachers and principals to instruct them, but better still I think the city should pass an ordi- nance forbdding children to make icy paths on the sidewalks.
 CITIZEN. The ordinances require the removal of snow and ice from a walk within six. fours of daylight immediately fol16wng the cessation of a snow or ice storm and if they cannot be wholly removed sand or some similar sub | stance should be sprinkled on the walk. this is not done the owner l or occupant of the property abut- 1 ting on the walk can be fined
 l The city is liable for injuries caused
 by persons falling on a walk.-(Ed)

A Vicious Bill,
(Congreg gationalist.) )

The national house of representa- = tives mas committed a serious blunder in passing the bill which prohibits the 1nter-marriag of persons of white and negro blood in. the District of Columbia. The certain evil effect. of such a measure have not been comprehended by many members of congress. Otherwise how could there have been the overwhe Inning vote in it's favor which was recorded 238 for, 60 against, 126 not voting ?
 The bill provides that if a person having one-eighth or more of Negro blood marries a white person in the District of Columbia both shall be liable to fine of S1,O0O to s5,0OO or Imprisonment from one to five years, or both fine and inprisonment; ; and minister officiating at such marriage shall be fined from $25O to $1,0OO or subject to Imprisonment from six months to year, or both
 Many friends of the colored people and most Colored people themselves question the wisdom of intermarriage because of the present attitude of society toward such fixed marriages The fact that in the departments at
 s@ington there has been no inter- marriage of white and colored clerks during the last half-century shows that there is no urgent necessity of such legislation there, in any view of the case. But 1t is an insult and , indefensible discrimination against colored American citizens to select them out for such restrictive legisla- tion by the national government. Such laws exist in the southern states and their effect has been to encour- age the worst 71abitual immortality between the races and to deprive colored women of legal defense against betrayal by white men and of support for their offspring
 If the purpose of the bill, as is pretended, is to keep the races from mixing, it Is sure to defeat it's own end. Already the races are so mixed that no one can determine the point where one ends and the other begins This mixing has occurred almost en- tirely outside of wedlock in states where laws prohibit intcrmarriage This law will work in Washington as similar laws work in the South to increase the number of il1egiti- mate children, to degrade such chill dren and colored women, to encour- age immoral white men in their devilish practice of proving upon any girl or woman, who may be as white as themselves but have been placed outside the pale of the law by the fact that she has one-eighth Negro blood in her viens, while white wom- en may compel the fathers of their children to recognize the legal sta tus of children and assume responsi- bility for their maintenance and edu- cation.
 The congressman Who innocently supposed that they would be check ing the mixture of races by passing such a measure are on the wrong track, and all friends of sound mor- ality and justice should lose no time In communicating with their senators in protest against this measure in order that the bill may not be passed by the senate. as there is great dan ger that it may be useless strong public sentiment is, manifested against it.

Mayor Wilson has formally an- rounced his plan of procedure for placing the question of establishing the commission form of government before the voters.

 Every train going up or down the Valley yesterday was crowded and in a mum Der of cases extra cars had to be put on. The reason was of course. the stOppage of the trolley, so that people had to travel by train again. Incidentally the crowd shows what trolley competition means to the pas- senger income of railroads.-Water- bury American
 Good law and sound common sense are embodied in the ruling of the supreme court of the United States that under the white slave law women as well as men can be indicted and that both the parties to these unsa- vory episodes are equally guilty be- fore the law. The ruling will tend to lessen the chances for blackmail, which made the one sided application of the statute so unfair in the eyes of the public-Ansonia Sentinel.
