Portugal's Old Capital

Once the capital of the kingdom
Coimbra possesses n number of inter
csting monuments. It's cathedral dates
from the early period when 1t upon
the west, Toledo in the center and
SaraGoSSa to the east were the Chris
tian outposts against the inhdel. Its
color. n deep golden brown, writes
Ernest PeiNotto in Scrjbncr's Magazine
is like that of an old warrior tanned
by the wars. Squarely seated upon its
platform, its walls pierced only by
narrow windows that resemble loop
holes, it's roofs and parapets cmbat-
tied, it recalls the day when praying
and fghting went hand in hand, and
its rough hewn stones sheathe it as
In Il bronze cuirass chased with the
delicate tracery of its south door,
added at a later epoch.
It's interior, too. is severely plain,
though adorned with tho only fine re-
redos that I saw In Portugal. and with
side chapcls that contain notable ar
ray OF old blue tiles
We spent some charming days In
Coimbra. We wandered in the thor
oughfares OF tAa~ upper town, admiring
the picturesque corners, the old city
gates and the great palaces with their
complicated escutcheons. We fingered
upon the broad terraces OF the botani-
cal gardens, whose fora Is perhaps as
varied as any in existence. We wan
river.
And one morning we crossed the
Mondego to visit the Quinta das La
Grimas. the Garden of Tears, and evoke
saved memories OF IneZ dc Castro,
whose story Cameons has woven into
one OF the most touching episodes of
his Immortal Lusiads. From the sun
lit road you enter a park, almost wild,
with thickets OF bamboo, araucarias,
and flowers in profusion. and an old
gardener silently working in veSe-
table patch. Then you pass n Gothic
ruin with an Ivy grown portal and
como upon square pool OF water
deeply shaded by giant cedars and
sycamores.
Into one of It's corners tiny stream
issues from n nsSurc in the rock, and
the faint murmur OF its tricklc is. the
only audible sound But the immortal
lines OF Camcons, chisclled upon a
stone near by, make the place eloquent
of tho death of gentle IneZ:
"Vede que fresca fonte reGa as flores,
Quo lagrimas sac q aqua. mono
amores."

RICHMOND TIMEs-DIsPATCH: FRIDAY, OCTOBER i. 1o15

remembered, is the one State in the Union
that continues to shackle It's municipalities
In this fashion.
case In point Is the extension Of Monu-
ment Avenue. complicated by the problem of
the Belt Line crossings. Under wise bene-
fit-assessment law, property owners would
bear u share Of the cost OF these crossings.
Under the law as It now stands. the city must
bear the whole cost, save that betrayed by
the railroad, and. in consequence of financial
disabilities. the completion Of this work must
be deferred to some indefinite time in the
future. AS We must have q grade crossing
or. apparently, leave the avenue unopened,
public sentiment favors the former alterna-
tive. but, of course. the city should look
ultimately to the provision Of crossings on
safer and more scientific basis With an as
sessment law. half the difficulty would vanish
in trice.
For year The Times Dispatch has sought
to bring this matter to the attention of the
people Of Virginia, and there are encouraging
indications. of which Mr.. Tunstall's activities
are perhaps the most important that the
value Of the reform is becoming recognized
In time it will come, but that may not be
before Richmond's floating Indebtedness rises
good deal higher than the present million

GERMANY'S NEW AUDACITY

Ono of tho Days Best Cartoons

In the new European war thcatcr

Balkan Peninsula the Tcutonic forces
enjoy certain obvious and perhaps in
surmountable advantages They have
first OF ALL the facilities and resources
OF their own countries immcdiately at
their back and cannot be cut OF from
their sources OF men and supplies. They
operate from their own bases and have
only TO cross river to reach the enemy.
When they have smashed their way
across Serbia they will meet their
friends the BulSars. If indeed. the Bull
gars have not come part way across
Serbia to meet them. And then. di-
rectly on the other side of Bulgaria

British Submarines in Baltic

| INTERESTED observers see double pur-
pose in Britain's new submarine war in the
Baltic, which has resulted in the last few days
in the destruction of half dozen German
merchantmen. Its military purpose Is OBJ
vious, but OF scarce less Importance in the
view of some critics, is the strengthening Of
the British defense to the American protest
against the orders in council decreeing a
blockade OF German ports.
One Of the principal weaknesses in the Brit
ish policy. based on these ORDERS has been the
fact that the blockade enforced against
ships and cargoes consigned to the neutral
ports of Holland. This country has con-
tended that so long the German Baltic
ports remained open and commerce between
them and Scandinavia was uninterrupted
there could be neither right nor justice In the
blockade of Holland. The situation, adj
mittedly would have been different had the
whole German coast line been blockaded for
was concerned, then would have been placed
on an equal footing and Denmark, Sweden
and Norway in the same category as the
United States.
If by tho use OF its submarines Britain can
establish blockade in the Baltic--even
though the blockade have good many holes
in 1t and lack something Of the supposed es-
sentals of continuity and effectiveness-Lon-
don will have retort ready for Washington
when the protests against interference with
American trade are renewed
1t is not impossible that a good deal can
be accomplished in this way provided sub
marines In sufficient number can negotiate
the difficult entrances to the Baltic Once
through the Scandinavian passages, the sub
mersiblcs have far more satisfactory field
or operations than have the German vessels
In tho North Sea and the Atlantic and Rus
sian ports be utilized, OF course as bases
OF supplies.
If at all successful, third purpose may be
served for the British pubics demand for
reprisals for Teutonic submarine activities
VIII be satisfied This demand has been
clamorous and insistent, ignoring the fact
that in the North Sea there was no foe for
submarines to attack. For months neither
German cruiser or battleship nor German
merchantmen has steamed westwardly from
its home port What is left OF German sea
power-always excepting the submarines
has been confined to the Baltic and now IL is
challenged there.
1t is not TO be supposed that the Kaiser
will fail to take up tho offered gas OF battle
The British submarines will have to eyade de-
stroycrs and armed motor boats, nets and
mine fields, just as the German submarines
are forced to do. German shipping here
after is likely to be conveyed. 1t will he In
