THE collapse of two new brick dwellings in
i group of eighty-nne during the rain on
Wednesday night may have been an accident
that no one could have prevented. But there
is the suggestion that the mortar used con-
tanned too much sand and dissolved when
the rain beat against 1t. If 1t could have been
protected by roof, perhaps the walls in
which 1t was used might have been able to
stand up
But the inspectors of the Building Bureau
are supposed to inspect and to protect the
public If they have inspected the materials
used in the collapsed houses and have found
them Of the proper quality then some other
cause than poor mortar must be found for
the disaster, If they inspect now and find
that the mortar was poor they condemn
themselves. Yet they must make an exami-
nation and report. Every tenant and every
purchaser of a house, as well as every
builder, is interested in sitting this case to
the bottom and in discovering whether the
workmen who say that the mortar was too
poor to hold the bricks together know what
they are talking about.

A Glimmering of Humanity

TTTORD comes from Berlin, by way of Lon
w don. that the projected air raid on the
British capital has been postponed from time
to time because the Kaiser cannot bring
himself to consent to such an attack upon
an unfortifed city. where his own kinsmen
are living. The attack would endanger the
life of King George, and the King Is his own
cousin. The same report says that the Kaiser
held out long time against the urging of
his advisers to authorize submarine raids
upon merchant ships but that he finally con-
sented. 1t is believed that he can be per-
suaded into agreeing to the plan to drop
bombs on London in such numbers as to de-
stroy hundreds of lives and vast amounts of
property.
If the Kaiser has been unwilling to en-
gage in such warfare, his reluctance does
credit to his humanity. But the persistence
of his military advisers in demanding au-
thority to so to the most damnable lengths
in making war condemns them to an ignoble
fame such no worthy man can covet.

Constantinople Learns There Is War

~ covered through the arrival of $4,000
wounded soldiers in the city, that there has
been some fighting along the Dardaneles 1t
did not know before that there had been any
reverses or serious casualties. 1t is foolish
to speculate about the effect of this dis
closure on the mental attitude of the Turkish
population 1t will be manifested as the
weeks go by. But it is certain that the peo-
pie will cease to believe all the optimistic
reports given out by the Government. They
have seen with their own eyes the horrors
of the war in the form of wounded and
MANNED soldiers
They are likely to see more of them. for
British army Is moving on Adrianople from
the south and Russian army is approach
ing from the north prepared to lay siege and
repeat the victory of the Balkan Allies when
they took 1t in the last war. With Adrian
ople reduced the advance upon ConstantI-
nople by land will be made, and it is morally
certain that the city will fall even though
It's defenses have been strengthened under
German direction. Then the Turk will get
his full OF horrors.

JOURNALISM IN
NATIONAL CRISES
Alfred Capus, Academician, Shows
How the French Press Has Met
Test After Test of Patriotic Serv-
ice-Its Role in the Future.

When people talk Of the rights and privi-
. leges of citizenship or Of suffrage they some
times pride themselves on their remem-
brance Of the fact that duties and obliga-
tlons are equally important. That duties
and obligations belong to journalism is
obvious. Appreciation Of this fact by the
public as we'll by the press itself should
of course, be something more than mere
Zip" appreciation. All the more so when 1t
is considered that as Alfred Capus, the dis
tinguished French Academician, truly says,
"The press and public opiriion are insepa-
rable terms"
To the Revue Hebdomadaire NJ. Capus
contributes an article which is not only
timely but Of widespread interest and value.
In IL he tells of the part which the press has
played and in future must play in relation
to the world war He does not speak of the
power and function of journalism in gem
eral terms, but covers the subject by means
of specific references. IL is mostly a story
of journalism in France during the last few
months. A few extracts from the article, as
translated by Mr. George Burnham Ives for
the Boston Transcript, follow. The war
came.

ut was essential to make everybody,
without exception, understandable classes of
society, workingmen. scholars. trHdesmen,
peasants-all that there was of absolutely
new and monstrous about this war, and the
enormous importance of the game that we
were playing, and that we must bring to
that game q steadfastness of mind, an in
cessant activty--in a word the utmost sum
of our national powers. To effect this re-
suit, 1t was Indispensable, first of ALL to
bring about, in a country divided politically
as ours is, in a country where political pas
sions are kept constantly alive by discussion
and disputation--to bring about oblivion of
old quarrels and abandonment of the most
inveterate habits; let us tell the whole story
in a single phrase--it was absolutely neces-
sary to demand of Frenchmen that they
cease to play politics
I'm these circumstances the part played
by the press decisive; It dropped polem-
ics. II brought the factions together, It
elaborated all the projects of resistance and
union. 1t refused to allow itself to be in
huenced by the memory of old disagree
ments; 1t gave all Frenchmen the impress
sion that they had always been in accord,
and that If they had sometimes in the old
days disputed, and even hated one another,
it was merely way of passing the time
until the enemy should come"
