 She was so absorbed that the con- ductor stood before her for several minutes before she grudgingly held out a nickel. One damp hand grasp ed a vivid-backed magazine and the other delved stickily into paper sack that yielded up muddy chocolates from muddier depths.
 Never was reader more intent. Chocolate after chocolate crunched audibly and page after page of pen ny-thriller was scanned with riveted attention, and turned with a f1utter, The car deposited fares at intervals and rumbled on, but the girl in the white tam with the red set ring on the middle finger of one brown hand saw nothing She was high on the wings of romance.
 The car passed through the district of buildings where the workers were dropped by twos and threes. Stlll the leaves of the magazine were turn ed mechanically.
 ''Twentieth!" called the conduc- tor from around a ticket in his mouth.
 The last chocolate travelled mouth ward and disappeared; the sack dropped unnoticed to the floor of the car-though it's emptiness had been first subconsciously registered. The once-curied bangs on the brown forehead chung faster to moist skin and shoulders dropped lower over the story in hand.
 "Twenty-fifth!" called the uniform ed one.
 The be-tammed passenger shifted her feet tensely and sighed. Roman l ce hit the ground with an ugly thump as nasal ''Twenty-eighth!" struck 1 consciousness.

 The girl, still steeped in blankness touched the paper sack with her toe as though to make sure of it's reason ! for being foored.

Troops Landed Near
 Historic Battlefield

Washington, D. c. Dec. 17.-"Back of Kavala, where the Allies are re- ported to be landing troops for their operations in the Balkans, lies the his- toric battlefield, Philippi, upon which Brutus and Cassius lost all hope of inheriting the power of the great dictator whom they had slain,' be- gins a statement given out today by the National Geographic society which describes the point of most recent strategic interest in the near east. "Kavala is a Greek port much nearer to the Bulgarian borders than that of Saloniki, and one of the most con- venient stations available to the AL lies for the passing of a campaign against southern Bulgaria, with the objective of the Oriental railway through Turkey-in-E Europe.
 "Situated on the Bay of Kavala, twenty-two miles from the Bulgarian boundary to the east, an Allied garri- son at this port would be within easy striking distance of the enemy coun- +rv. while, with mountains guarding the town all round and down almost to the waters edge, it could be turned into an almost impregnable depot for

Male War Babies.
Waterbury Democrat.)

Some months ago a report from . big London district indicated that, contrary to the accepted tradition. more girl babies were being born than boys. Feminists and pacifists seized on the figures as suggesting that even nature had turned against war, and refused to produce more men for cannon-fodder. Now more complete reports from England seem to support the old belief that nature in some mysterious way does adjust the sex of the new generation to re- pair the ravages of war. Statistics for thirty-six towns in England and Wales show a surplus of boy babies that is unprecedented. In the first three months of this year, for every 1000 girl babies there were 1,032 boys. For the second three months, there were 43 more boys than girls, and for the next three months fifty five more. That means an extra five and one-half boys for every hundred girls. It means the addition of about one male to every twenty born nor mally And if this ratio were main- tained, it might actually make up, within a few years, the nations male deficit caused by war fatalities. There may be no scientific explan- ation" for this boy baby tradition. And yet here are the figures. And what are the sceptical scientists go- ing to do about them?

munitions and supplies. The Bulgar- ian border forty miles to the north is protected by the wild Rhodope moun- tains, from which outrunning ranges and hills guard the eastern marches. The railway between Saloniki and Bulgarian port, Dedeagatch, passes sixteen miles to the north of Kavala and only miserable ways lie in be. tween. The whole borderland terri tory is lean, savage and rugged.
 "Kavala port crowns a promontory, reaching into the bay. It is an insig- nificant little village, with a popula- tion of scarcely more than 5000. The island of Thasos lies before its bay to the south and east. This island, also, is hilly vantage point for the guard ing of the entrance of the harbor against attack by hostile ships. AL together, the present favorable war time geographical advantages of this obscure little town may conspire to give back a greater fame than it pos- sessed in Greek and Roman times. Mehemet Ali was born here in 1769, which event is the greatest in the viI- lages history of 1000 years until the present coming of the French and

PLACING THE BLAME.

No matter how you figure, no mat ter where you look for a solution of the diplomatic situation that now confronts the United States and Aus tro-Hungary the round figure of William Jennings Bryan intrudes itself Because he downed all other principles to the one great object of his later life, peace at any price, he succeeded in complicating things to a nicety If the United States decided on one course of action in dealing with a foreign power the genial prince of peace straightway put up a new inter pretation on the issue and handed his version to the diplomatic representa- tive of the country concerned. This was brought out after his celebrated consultation with pr. Constantin Dunn ba, who was at one time the Austrian ambassador to the United States. At that time the Com mOner felt the pulse of the nation and decided that the American people
 
 determined to have peace that Presi- dent Wilson's note on the Lusitania case should not be taken too serious- ly. And he told all that Dumba, who in turn conveyed this information to his home office from whence it went to the Kaiser. And that interview from Bryan is one of the prime req sons why Germany did not take the Wilson note at it's face value. It was considered a form letter more than anything else. Now the Austro- Hun garian Admiralty has followed tho course of the German Foreign Office and is prepared to refuse or ignore the demands of the American govern ment. From the face of things it looks as if the government officials at Vienna will stand behind the Admir- atty and in the end diplomatic break must be suffered. All because those people do not understand the real feelings of Americans It is not their fault so much as it is the erstwhile Secretary of State who in the first place conveyed the wrong impression. There is where the blame must be placed.

WIT.

American universities will do well versity of California in awarding prizes for wit and humor. There is already enough sorrow in this sad and staid old world, and any attempt to inject a few laughs between the lines should be welcomed With a brass band and other signs of joy and festtvity The wittiest student in any American college Or university should be hailed as the real hero of the hour. He should be placed on pedestal higher even than those occupied by the star football player, the crack baseball pitcher, the sprinter, Or any of the athletes. To make men laugh is a gift far greater than any other be- slowed upon the human heart. And to make them laugh in a thoroughly refined manner, without giving offense, without wounding any feel ings, is a gift greatest of all.
 This year the wittiest student al California is Edward Marshall Mas lin who produced an essay 'On th' Futility of Twitching Up One Trousers to Prevent Bagging at thu Knees" That, all along, has been very serious subject with most men but it seems young Maslin has dis covered the laugh in it. And mor' power to him for making comed. where tragedy reigned supreme. w. ioyously welcome to our midst an. stranger who carries in his portfolio a. laugh Even if it must come at tn exnense of trousers bagging at tn 1 knees.

The One-SchOIar School.
(Waterbury Democrat. )

Ralph Jackson, who attends a country school near Martins Ferry
 O., ought to be we'll instructed. He morning he trudges to the school
 house, and is assembled and brought
 to order by Edward E. Long, the teacher, and goes through all the usual course of study and recitation3, and has his recesses and noon hour,
 and then goes home after having enjoyed-or suffered-the teachers undivided attention for the day In
 a way, it's an ideal plan of educa-
 tion. It suggests the system recom- mended by Jean Jacques Rousseau,
 the great French educational reform CT. His idea was that each child
 should have tutor who devoted
 himself wholly to that child until it's maturity Americans, however, are
 not likely to take to the idea very readily. It wouldn't appeal to the average teacher to give all his time to one pupil. And certainly it wouldn't appeal to the average tax payer to provide a separate teacher for every child, and perhaps sep arate school house too. Besides, it's probably a pretty miserable ex- istence for young Ralph Jackson. He hasn't anybody to play with or whis- per to or throw paper wads at. It's no fun playing tricks on himself teacher, when the teacher hasn't any body to watch but him, If he's a normal American boy, he'd rather

Message to Americans.
(New York World.)

\4NCW OIh WOllu.)
 Twice within a few weeks has Ru- dolph Blankenburg, born in Germany, reborn in the American spirit, deliv- cred a stirring message to his coun- trymen. In Philadelphia, the presi- dent of the United States was among those moved perhaps to tears by his earnest plea for national unity. In New York, Saturday. he told the Pennsylvanias who are of all the chill dren of the states most proud of their pedigrees, that neither British nor German-Americans, nor Irish, Scotch, French, Italian or Russian-Ameri- cans," should as such have weight in our affairs.
 The veteran mayor whom Philadel- phia, to her cost, is losing would have us prepare against a possible foe abroad, but more against "the do- mestic foe who may unrecognized for years, appeal to our prejudice, our love of riches, our political ambitions and our vanity to upbuild himself on the ruins of a popular government" the partisan politician ito whom party is paramount to conscience.'
 Speeding the day when "self1shness will be supplanted by disinterested service, cowardice by manly courage, indifference by earnest longing to lend 1 8 helping hand" Mayor Blankenburg bids us abolish all distinctions that may lead to ill-feeling, and let us call ourselves, before the whole world, American first, last and all the +ime." Finer word has not been spoken than this message to Americans of true American citizen.
