THE WINDING LANE

The wood-light grows more mellow-dim,
The leaves dance happily
The russet path glows deeper hued
To greet her worthily,
And all the birds in chorus sweet
Sing rapturous, insane,
When lassio comes to meet me
Adown the winding lane.
She's sweet as little roses are.
AS quaint as mignonette.
And shy as modest pansy-buds.
With shoWer-jeWels set;
She's happinessl And from this world
I've nothing more 20 gain
When lassie comes 20 meet me
AdoWn the winding lane.
This earth would be a kindler place
II every man could know
The fragrance OF a shady path
Where cool, green grasses grow,
Where, when the sunset hour came by
And life was sweet and sane,
His singing lassie turned the stile
Adown the winding lane.

DELICACY REsTRAINs HIM

To the Editor OF EDenfn0 Ledger:
Slr-When people say such things your
correspondent John Bull'' writes, they usually
wonder, when they are again able to wonder,
what type OF locomotive struck them.
So. "Mr Bull" almost entirely de-
pendent on England for literature music, shows
and fashions" we? Maybe you would
like to advance argument or two to fortlfy
that assertion. To my mind 1t is absurd the
face of 1t.
What really "gets my goat and makes
almost too angry to be careful in my choice Of
words. Is the complacent statement that Our
British statesmen acting through their many
agents in the United States, have evidently
instructed the leaders of the American public
to cast aside the pretense that this country is
an independent entity, and gradually permit the
truth to be known"
Who dares, even in the powerful name of
John Bull" to intimate that the American
people choose for themselves leaders who al
low themselves to be Instructed" by agents
Though delicacy protests against the OF
eplthets, I cannot refrain from branding such
individual ignorant malicious pre-
varicator OF the first magnitude. The last sem
tence of John Bulls" letter leaves me speech
less with wonder at the colossal nerve OF the
man. Have we come to the position I'm which
Ii is necessary for us to remain calm when a
subject OF another nation advises to aban-
don the greatest and most glorious of our
tlonal celebrations because 1t is an affront to
that nation that could not guarantee him the
happiness that we, strangers, have given hlm7
must say at risk OF being called conceited
that II John Bull' believes that his own
Government would indorse such sentiments
he has voiced, must claim superior knowledge
OF that Government, and tell him he is "in
wrong"
Let us reverently give thanks that such
cranks and ingrates "John BulI few,

A Boom Town. Rut Of the Rlght sort

TNDDYSTONE is in for boom fast enough.
II Thousands of new workmen spending
thousands OF dollars day will attend to
that. sober-minded inhabitants are only
praying that all this sudden prosperity may
not be accompanied by the usual disreputa-
bic conditions OF ''boom town" little
foresight can see to that.
Just now the source Of worry "a the huge
barracks which the Remington Company Is
planning 70 erect next the Baldwin Loeomo-
tive plant to house ten thousand new men.
Town officials are naturally a little loath
to abrogate their fire laws without assurance
that this wooden structure Is only for tenn
poraIy use.
There Eddystone is right. Industries must
build for the future. Sudden profits at the
expense OF ultimate civic health are bad
business for cities and bad business for cor
porations. One can easily imagine the long

Give Philadelphia the Convention Hall and

Give Philadelphia the Convention Hall and
the Convention
PHILADELPHIA will get the Republican
i National Convention II there Is a conven-
tion hall in Philadelphia suitable for the
accommodation Of that great gathering.
More than once the selection Of con-
vention city has determined the success or
failure of national campaign.
woodrow Wilson could never have been
nominated IL the Democratic convention had
been held in st. Louis, say, instead of Baltl-
more. The Maryland city was a Wilson city,
the atmosphere was Wilson atmosphere.
It changed hostile majority against the
Princetonian into practical unanimity for
him.
Chicago bluffs that It holds four aces AS
a matter of fact, the very name of the town
invokes visions Of disaster. There is no inti-
nation of Republican success in 1t. Phia-
delphia, on the contrary, rock-ribhed In Its
Republicanism, furnishes the proper setting
for the beginning of the party's rehabilita-
ton. Here solid achievement puts hysteria
to rout. No demagogue could sway con-
vention in Philadelphia None but a man OF
solid achievement could hero fight his way
to victory
A philadelphia convention means a candi-
date to whom the country could turn with
confidence, a candidate of reunion, a healer
of wounds, restorer of unanlmity, a cham
pion of prosperity and of protection, which
is the basis of prosperity.
Councils today, therefore, may hold in Its
hands the destiny Of the Republican party.
So important in it's effects may be an ap-
parently trivial thing such as the timely
construction of a convention hall.
Let there be no more delay. Better
convention hall anywhere than a conven-
ton hall nowhere To dispute over a site
is excusable, but to permit that dispute to
prevent any convention hall at all is mex
cusable. The point has been reached when
some selection must be made. 1t is the
duty of Councils to act today. Today, in
deed, it decides whether Philadelphia or some
Western city shall accommodate the Re-
publican Nauohal NOHNehttoH' - iA'eiA-
ton hall is the apparent issue before it;
the Presidency may be the real issue.
In the circumstances let there be no hest-
tation. Quit talking and begin to build. Let
not an abundant richness of sites be trans
lated into virtual poverty by the inability
of the proper authority to decide on a loca-
ton. Better almost any selection than no
selection at all

SOUTH TYRoL IS TEUToNIC
A Frightful Race Tragedy the Sure Result
of Italian Conquest.

A Frightful Race Tragedy the Sure Result
of Italian Conquest.
T. Lothrop stoddard. in the American Review of Re-
Views for July,
The Austrian province OF Tyrol is geograph-
cally divided into two distinct parts by the high
mountain range known the Tyrolean Alps,
running roughly east and west along latitude
A and pierced by only one practicable gateway.
the famous Brenner Pass. The greater part OF
the province thus lies south of the range and
is known as South Tyrol" Its rivers flow into
Italy and tho climate is distinctly southern in
character The ideal strategic nature of the
Tyrolean Alps has caused Italians to see In
them the natural frontier of Italy and to de-
mand the acquisition OF the whole South Tyrol
right up to the Brenner Pass
Unfortunately for Italian aspirations the geo.
graphical conhguration OF Tyrol by no means
corresponds to the racial character of its in
habitants The greater part OF South Tyrol Is in
habited by population OF Teutonio stock
racially keenly self-conscious as any people
In the world. Only the extreme southern part
of the province (the district known as 'Tren-
tino') is racally Italian. This fact must be
kept clearly in mind, owing to Italian efforts to
befog the Issue by using the term 'rrentino"
to describe the whole region south of the Bren-
ner Pass, thus inducing the idea that the en-
tire country is racially italian. AS a matter OF
fact nothing could be farther from the truth.
The Trentino proper despite the fact that its
political history has virtually never been bound
up with that OF the peninsula OF Italy, is thor
oughly Italian region. and the majority of its
inhabitants would welcome Italian annexation.
But about half way between the cities of Trent
and Botzen the race-frontier runs clear and
sharp athwart the country; and everything
north of this line is consciously aggressvely
German.
These Teutonio South Tyrolers are animated
not merely by an intense race pride and local
patriotism, but also by a truly medieval dynas-
tic loyalty TO the House of Hapsburg Andreas
Hofer remains tho national hero OF Tyrol-and
Andreas Hofer was born we'll south OF the Bren-
ner Pass. Every year a folk-play depicting tho
life of Andreas Hofer Is produced at the South
Tyrolean city OF Meran and anyone who has
there noted the fervor OF the peasant-aetors.
comparable to that OF the Passion Players OF
oberammergau, knows that the old spirit lives
on unchanged.
For this reason an italian conquest OF South
Tyrol would unquestionaby involve frightful
certain that the Teutonio South Tyrolese
would prefer death to Italian rule. The only
way by which Italy could secure her strategic
Bremen line would be the roofing out OF this
essentially fanatieal population and its replace
ment by Italians

German Aviators Hold the Records

General expenses ................ 10000
German Aviators Hold the Records
With such inducement and enterprise is 1t
any wonder that German aviation made
rapid strides and that German aviators hold
all the records for duration up to twenty
four hours of continuous flying?
During the first month of 1914 the induce
ments offered by the Aerial League of Ger
many led to the breaking by the German
aviators of all the world records. BY the
middle of July the nonstop endurance rec
ord was carried up to "a hours and IL min
utes by Reinhold Boehm and the altitude
record to 26,246 feet by Heinrich Oerich.
Over one hundred other records similar to
the above were made. For instance, Bas
ser and Landsmann made continuous fights
of Is hours IL minutes and 21 hours and 40
minutes, respectively, in one OF which Lands
mann covered 1886 miles, which is the longest
distance ever travelled by man in one day.
Among the records for altitude was the Lee
ord of Otto Linnekogel of 21,654 feet which
is about the height of Mount Mckinley.

spicuous object, from soup kitchens to head
quarters huts, which might draw the enemy's
fire. was hidden in blinds OF leaves and
earth. Where did Signor Brana dig up the
