BUENOS AIRES
@1HE war in Europe is increasing
the demand for the cattle of the
Argentine Republic. Meat prices
q are rising, and in some places
Iorse flesh is sold. All of the chilled
meat factories at and near Buenos Aires
IRE running at their fullest capacity and
steamers loaded with beef and mutton
are leaving almost daily TO: England
some millions of pounds are now weekly
exported, and of this about one-fourth
IS going northward to the United States
The rise in prices is bringing in the
voung cattle, and in some places cows
are being slaughtered for the 'ocal sup
ply The latter condition is alarm
ing to all interested in Argentina as
The worlds meat basket of the future.
The country has vast areas of land but
II has to keep its breeding animals if
II would increase its cattle supply, and
avs may eventually be passed provid-
ING a severe penalty for the killing of
cows Already laws have been enacted
against the killing of calves
There are now about 80, o00. 900 cattle
in the Argentine Republic. THIS is half
as many as we have in the United States
and II Is within two three million
y the number in Russia in Europe. the
only other countries. excepting British
india. that lead the world in stock Of
his kind. II seems strange to me that
ne British Indies should have more
attic than any other land on the globe.
" e all know the sacred cows of Hin
dustan. but we do not know that tina I
rountry has more than twice as many
attic as We have and three or four
mes as many as any other on earth.

to build monastery destined to be
come the nucleus of a settlement fun
OF busy life, a school for learning. a
men. u sanctuary for the oppressed. an
asylum for the poor, a hospital for the
sick. and one after another the seven
churches rose.
Around the monastery grew up n
small city. and a seminary was found

saints and exemplary men whose sane
tfty and learning diffused around the
western world that universal light of
letters and religion which in earlier
ages shone SO Respondent through this
remote and at that time tranquil isle.
For 900 years Glendalough held its
position as one of the most important
ecclesiastical and educational estab-
lishments in Ireland. In 1852 Laurence
O'Toole. Archbishop of Dublin. was
elected abbot. The see remained under
the control of regular succession OF
bishops until 1914, when it was united
to that of Dublin
The most interesting as well as the
most perfect remains of the seven
churches standing round the central
tower Is known as st. Kevin's Kitch-
en-" so named because of the resem-
blance of it's quaint round tower pro-
jecting from the roof to chimney.
Its singular pitched stone roof
makes it one of the architectural curl
osities of Ireland. In it have been
gathered together few of the remains
of the ancient city. The original town
cross is there. with bits of ornamental
stonework from the long demolished
buildings. In the churchyard surround
ing the round tower is st kevfl' $
cross, an almost undecorated granite
monolith eleven feet high, which
marks the burial place of the saint.

The British, French and Belgian
Drive Now In Progress
Ffom DC Washington Postl

That the great drive Of the allies
against the German lines in Belgium
and France began with the so hours
of continuous artillery fire during
Wednesday night, Thursday and Fri
day is admitted by the French and
British authorities and correspond
ents. and now the world during the
next three weeks will be able to de-
termine as to the relative gains and
losses of the combatants and the ef-
feet for victory or defeat upon the
nations involved in the strife.
The censorship in each OF the
capitals-London, Paris, Berlin. Pet
rograd and Vienna--is so strict and
so partisan that reports from either
side cannot be, accepted as correct
or conclusive and with the reports
from both sides all in upon any par
ticular event OF the campaign IT in
yariably is discovered that much OF
the truth has been concealed from the
public.

could present officially TO that body
the news Of fake victory in the Gull
of Riga, within $50 miles OF Petro-
grad. involving the destruction by
Russian guns of numbers of German
transports and the sinking Of the ar

L. OF 2. STUDENTS AND NEARING.

DRoFEssOR SCOTT NEARING. until recently prim-

University OF Pennsylvania, cannot fail to be highly
grathed by the friendly action indulgod in in his be-

the popularity OF the deposed professor with the stu

srMoNDs ON WILSON AND WAR.

ONE of the best informed and most competent critics
~ Of war conditions is Frank H. Smonds. Writing
OF this situation he said, recently
Prom the moment of the sinking OF the Lusitania
when revealed TO Mr Wilson the real mean
ing of the strict accountability note to the Arabic in
cdent the chief the compelling, the dominating aim
OF Mr. Wilson and his advisers has been TO get out Of
the situation they made for themselves. It has never
for a single moment been TO make good the words
always the effort has been to avoid the conse-
auences OF the words. All the talk about the cham
ponship Of humanity is merest moonshine. There
never any intention on the part of the admnistra-
tion to champion humanity or anything else. From
start to finish the whole affair has been sorry farce
which may yet end in because one has yet found
way out The reason Is utterly clear-we took a
position at the start untenable unless meant to fight
and we won't hght-or abandon It,"
