| OUR USUAL BIZARRE SPECTACLE.
Once in so often the world is treated
to a bizarre spectacle. Sometimes it is
vesuvius spouting fire. Again it is old
Doctor Cook shining up the north pole.
Still again it is man named Bryan try
ing to lift himself into the presidency via
his bootstraps. For another, it is Kurd
treating an Armenian humanely. And so
on down through the days of an ever
lasting world; there is usually some fresh
spectacle to brighten up what otherwise
might be a dull, drab existence. Now the
bizarre is furnished by a man who. self
appointed 1--WE almost say self-centered,
tool, without credentials of any sort
save monstrous cheekbook, surrounded
by curious collection of individuals as
henchmen and "henchwomen" and appar-
emily having no definite plan of campaign
other than his dream that he saw the
soldiers marching out of the trenches at
his behest on Christmas morn, sails forth
on the stormy main to end the European
war. This man puts himself ahead of the
government of the United States; he as.
sumes a role of maximum Importance in
a most delicate situation; he undertakes
to solve a world problem by experience
built on carbureters and eommutators.
And his colleagues are mostly college
boys and girls and theorists of undoubt-
I'd good intentions but slight knowledge
of international usages. A wonderful
spectacle, to be surel
However, that is not to say the avowed
purpose of the crusade is not good. The
,vowed purpose is good. Indeed, il is so
good that the pity is IL is so ill-advised.
There is a grave fear that, apparently
yell.intentioned, IL win set further ahead
he day when the United States gov
rnment shall assume its rightful role OF
'eaee mediator, and successfully, too.

Salvation Army Appeal.

We hope that the people of this city
may come to our aid just as readily as
they can to help us in this great effort
of supplying Christmas dinners to the
needy. We are not as well advanced in
our finances as We We're last year at this
time, and we do want to make this effort
a real success this year. Ensign Parsons,
officer in charge of the local corps for the
past two years, gives her statistics for
charitable work alone within those two
years, carefully aggregated from the
books which each officer keeps at the To-
cal headquarters. The statistics for

If il were not for the belief that
Charles S. Mellen made quite success
of railroading we should be inclined to
assert that first class raconteur was
spoiled to make mediocre railroad Off
cial, in the light of Mr.. Melen's evidence
during the trial of the IL directors of the
New Haven railroad. His testimony has
been rich in personal experiences, as well
as in journeys into the financial realm,
not the least of which was his purchase
of that perpendicular" farm in southern
New England, on which he hoped to spend
his declining, or reclining, days.

DISEAsE-FREE FOOD IN PUBLIC
EATING. HOISES.

A most important campaign has beer
inaugurated IN New York City by the
board Of health looking toward purity OF
the food served in restaurants and cafes
This campaign relates not 10 the inspec.
tion Of the food itself but rather 20 The
condition Of the hands which handle that
food. The need Is urgent. Who Of Us
partakes Of a meal in some restaurant
without = suspicion a. 20 the purity Of
the productf In unknown restaurants
and cafes the food comes into the serv-
ing room from some unknown oavernous
region shut Of from observation in front
and the patrons know not what infectious
enemy they must meet II any. The food
may h. absolutely pure and free from
disease. Again Il may contain the germs
which viii bring untold suffering and
misery 70 the partaker. The latter pos-
sibly u not an idle dream; il is real
danger. Fer instance. tie board Of health
