The Daily Newspaper.
From the Country GentIema

From the Country Gentleman.
Complaint Is made that the big city
daily newspapers are spreading their con.
Eliminating influence to the farms. The
questions arise: How far may the city
dailies contaminate? Just what are theiE
communicating Influences?
The charge has always been with US
that the city newspapers exist through
ness and crime and grossly ~exaggerats
the lures Of city life. Some of them do
this, but not all. The actual reading OF
city carries no danger OF con-
Eliminating the boy or girl on the farm:
The real danger Is in mislnterpretatton of
the news-in other words, mislntefpretar
ton Of the truth In life. .
The city newspapers tell the farmer and
his children of the thousands of unem-
ployed in the cities: of the miserable
state of those whose wages are insufh-
cient for the bare needs of life; Of the
pitiable cases in slums that have no coun-
terpart in the country. You Will una
gaunt hunger in the headlines more !often
thar reference to the romantic acquisi-
ton of wealth.
Mere complaint against the contaminat-
ing influences of city dailies will not keep
them from the farm home. Railroads,
better highways. telephones. M automo-
bile5 are bringing the countryside into Oh
rect contact with current daily events
The business farmer must scan the mar
ket reports from day to day, not merely
from week to week.
So long as we remain mortal some sort
OF contamination will reach out for us.
No hermit in his cave Is inviolable. In
the Dark Ages 1t was q crime to dispeI
ignorance; the printed word was both
heresy and treason. Today the power OF
the press Is our brightest symbol of free
dom. The daily newspaper is bound to
reach the farm, and If read Alright may
serve as a vast influence for good.

A Braintree dispatch to the Press as

northeast OF London. 1t dropped a
bomb which buried itself in a garden,
where it exploded. doing damage to the
rear Of a house and smashing the win
dows Of other houses. No one was
hurt.

also dropped bombs at Marks icy, six
and a half miles west Of Colchester
and near Coggeshall but no serious

BATTLE IN CARPATHIANS
WAGED WITH DESPERATION

Venice. Cia London). Feb. 22.-The
Hungarian newspapers contain vivid
accounts Of the struggle in the Car
pathlans, where a gigantic battle has
been in progress for so days along the
whole line of mountains some 300 miles
in length.
No true picture can be painted Of the
general situation, since it changes from
day to day and from night to night. In
the first Of the engagements. the troops
were moved with m~achine-like fOrma-
ton. but now individual herOism finds
free play.
Vicious attacks Ere made to gain
heights or sheltered positions. These
attacks ara repealed with reckless
abandonment. Some times a position
will be gained and lost again three
times within "a hours. There is one
height on the front which has been
stormed 100 times and even now either
side can claim to hold it. No sooner
is it won and the viCtOrs installed On
1t tina the vanquished gather new
forces and storm 1T again.
Meanwhile the Russians are gather

NORWAY ANoERED BY
TORPEDOING OF SHIP

Christina, (via London), Feb. a.
Indignation at the sinking OF the Nor

German submarine near Folkestone, is
expressed by today's papers, which
discuss possible means of demanding
satisfaction. The Norwegian Journal Of
Commerce & Shipping says:
The torpeddine of the Belridge Is an
event which it is unnecessary further
to characterize. The ship was bound
from one neutral port to another. She
had been ordered to paint the word

the case may easily put the greatest

present week. the last French soldier

brought the largest part of their Afri-
can army to Newport, where it rein
forced the French marines and Alpine
Chasseurs holding this gateway tC

withdrawing their troops has met with
some criticism from Belgian officers
who feel that they are again being left
to bear the brunt Of the most disagree

strategic necessity was the reason
given for the withdrawal.
