MUNICIPAL NATATORIUMS.

Chicago has set aside one million |

of the Eastland tragedy which result

One of the crying shames of our
American cities is that for the most
part absolutely no provisions are
made for the instruction of boys and
girls in the natatorial art. No proper

not only derive health and strength
from the exercise afforded them but
would be able to protect themselves
in the event of any calamity on the

of 1T is the city bred child who suf-

go swimming in the river, or because
the city provides no place for them to
be instructed in swimming. Every
city should have a natatorium.
In a few of our larger cities there
are municipal swimming pools where
the youth of the population may go
for instruction under competent
swimming masters. But cities af-
fording this opportunity are few and

GALVESTON.

Sympathy of the entire nation goes
out to the people of Galveston in this
their hour of sorrow. BY their bat
tie with the waters of the Gulf or
Mexico they have suffered the loss of
friends and relatives and their prop
erty has been damaged to the extent
of $10,00o,O00. Complete returns Of
the disaster have not yet been re-
ceived owing to the Gripping of the
telephone and telegraph services; but
at worse the disaster Of 1915 can in
no way measure with the dreadful
one of 1900 when more than five or
six thousand people were swept away
in the tidal wave And the reason
the loss of life by last Tuesdays storm
is comparatively small is because Of
the wonderful way the people of CAL
pairing for it's coming. Their great
sea wall saved them, for the most
part, this time. But, the waters
pounded down part of this wall, and
IL must De fe-DullC. from the lesson
learned this week the wall is not
high enough. Therefore, a greater
task is before the people of Galveston.
They must set to work and make that
wall bigger and greater than ever. 1t
must be built high enough to prevent
the waves washing over it as they
did last Tuesday when five feet Of
water flooded the city's streets. Ana
the people of Galveston will do this.
They are imbued with the great spirit
Of progressiveness characteristic of
Americans. They will never say de-
Situated as no other community in
the country, they have builded a
great city under conditions that would
dishearten less sturdy souls. The
growth of Galveston has been the
pride of the nation. May it continue
to go on in it's wonderful progress,
prepared against invasion by the
enemy waters and free from future
disaster. This is the concerted wish
of the American people in North,
South, East and West.

GeImany'S Propaganda.
New York TimeS.)

These German propagandists were
as blind as bats. They were seeking
covertly and secretly, by intrigue
and device, and in disguise, to enter
where the door was wide open and
the hand of welcome extended. The
American press has been prodigal in
it's expenditure of money and space
for the presentations of German
views and German news. The Tim es
mas printed unnumbered columns Of
contributions fom pens Of weight and
authority engaged in the defence Of
Germany and in making known the
German attitude and policy. Other
newspapers have been liberal in the
exposition of the German side of the
war questions. German views and
German arguments were put before
te American people from tho very be-
ginning Of the war. They were
judgd by the American people. There
was not only not the slightest occa-
sion for underground work, there
was visible proof that it would be flu
tile. What are we to think of the
boasted German intelligence?

doubt as to whether the disclosures

A Liberty Bell Incident.
Waterbury American.D

On that July day the Liberty Bell
reached the San Francisco fair,
Waterbury citizen stood in the crowd
which enthus:a stically welcomed the
bell, as it was escorted through great
throngs to its place in the Pennsyl-
vania Building. Just in front of the
Waterbury citizen was an apparently
intelligent man, of good bearing, who
said he was from Pittsburgh, Pa.
and who entered into conversation
with the Waterbury citizen on various
topics.
AS the bell passed, the mon around
the Waterbury citizen raised their
hats, and everybody chcered. The
Pittsburgh man die not raise his hat.
The Waterbury citizen was surprised,
and said: You want to join, don't
you, with tho rest of US, in IGNORING
the old Liberty Bell?" No" said
the Pittsburgh man, IT will not take
my hat off to that bell. 1t is the
emblem of war, and 1 am a peace
man, at any price" The Waterbury
citizen did not argue with the Pitts
burgh man, for 1t was useless. But
he admired the Pittsburgh mans con.
sistency.
How many people who did that bell
reverence realized that they were rev.
erencing an emblem Of war a war
that dedicated this continent to free
dom? How many people who did
reverence to tho bell realized that in
their act they wore adorsing a

that, If they did not do reverence to
