ANY attempt to tie delegates TO
any presidential favorite, or to use

act that would tend to prevent the
success of the plan should be fro7ned
upon. We are skating on thin Ice,
as 1t is, and the legality OF our action
depends upon its absolute harmony
and the generous understanding OF the
national convention itself. If there
is an attempt made to tie up our dele

700 GRAvEYARDS IN GALACIA
(London Chronicle)


Under the captain More Than 700
Grayeyards" the Berliner Yorwaerts
recently published an article referring
10 the battle fields of Galicia and to
the efforts being made by the Austria
authorities to bring some sort of or
der into the chaotic conditions pre-
vaillng in the military burying
grounds scattered over the province.
The writer estimates that between
the town of Gorlice and the heights
OF Tarnovo no fewer than 419 grave
yards have been cleared of their un-
slightly surroundings, and says that
wherever possible natural beauties in
the landscape have been utilized to
lend dignity to the enormous cemeter-
les.
All along the Dunpaee graveyards
are thickly stewn over the entire coun-
tryslde. Russians, Austrians, Ger
mans, Hungarians TO the number of
40, 900 are buried in the cared-for
graveyards. a number of which does
not include those buried in masses
in one grave. In West Galicia alone
about 900 graveyards exist and in 9TH
er parts more than 100. From the
Dunajee eastward the mulitudinous
graves of the Russians are seen
stretching away into the eastern
plans. an awful record of the death
grapple of last year.

Oftentimes weak kidneys cause
great annoyance and embarrassment
to children. Inability to control the

and too frequently the child is punish

with kidney weakness would do well
to treat the kidneys with a tested and
proven kidney remedy II there is
pain in the back, discolored urine, ir-

BIG CITIES BEST
(Boston POST

Boston POST
All Fourt of July reports are about
in and they bring messages of good
cheer. Compared with the statistics
of even 10 years ago, the figures OF
fatalities and accidents today are mar
velously improved. And nobody
arises to suggest that the day has been
spoiled. Other attractions than mere
noise have proved that they have a
right to exist. Civilization is gaining
all along the line.
One curious fact is noticeable, and
that is that the larger the cities the
safer and saner the Fourth. New
York, for instance, was this year al
most entirely free from the bang of
big explosives. Other large places
make the same reports. II is in the
small cities and towns that license to
terroize and full swing to distract by
elsewhere illegal and sometimes
there, as well-noises. The small city
does not enforce its own ordinances
The police are too we'll acquainted
with the citizens and wink at viola
tons. The old crazy uproar is full
minated against in the local papers,
but never stopped. as II easily could
be.
But even in those towns. reason is
gradually coming 10 her own. She
does not demand cessation Of good.
healthy and sensible noise. But she
frowns on outrageous and dangerous
manifestations. Some day the latter
win al 30 by the board.

FAITH IN GREAT
BRITIAN'S ABILITY
To Carry Financial Load Is Held by
Americans-IdeaO OF England's Re-
sources Given BY Henry
Davidson When He Re-
turned From London
Visit Early Last
Year.

New York, July 22--Six weeks ago
Edward d. Adams, who had official fig
ures before him, called attention to
the enormous expenditure by England
on account Of the war, which then ag-
gregated $25,OOO,0OO a day Much the
greater part of this sum, Mr.. Adams
said, was burned up or eaten up. or
in some other way permanently de-
stroyed. In his view of chances were
that England instead of reducing this
daily cost would be compelled to in
crease it.
The statement received day or two
ago from London vindicates Mr..
Adamss opinion. Thirty millions a
day is now the expenditure by Eng
land on account of the war, and that,
If it is maintained, will equal in the
course of a year about one half OF
England's yearly income.
StupendOus as these figures are they
do not cause our own financiers any
apprehension lest England before the
close of the war will be compelled to
confess that she has reached the limit
of her resources and credit in funds.
As Division Viewed 10
Our own fnanciers were we'll in
formed a year ago of the financial
strength of Great Britain. When Hen
ry p Davidson was in London, in the
early months Of 1915, he was In con-
ference with English financiers and
Representatives of the Government,
presumably with respect to the con-
templated advance by England and
France into the United States for the
purpose of securing a large loan.
On Mr.. Davidson's return he spoke
not In detail, but in a general way--of
the magnitude of Englands financial
resources. No doubt these were by au-
thority make known to him Probably
II was deemed expedient in case Eng
land and France sought to procure a
large loan Ia billion dollars was at
first contemplated) that the American
financiers should have accurate knowl-
edge OF the English resources.
Mr.. Davidson upon his return spoke
OF these resources as something that
fairly staggered the Imagination. Ac-
customed as he is to very large figures
and TO participation In great financing,
nevertheless he had never had the ex-
perlence OF that kind before.
SemIOfiielal Confirmation
Now there is semi-official informa-
tion which confirms the general state
ment made by Mr.. Davidson a year
ago. For It is semi-officially an
nounced that the capital wealth Of
Great Britain is $4,000. 100000 and
her yearly income is somewhat In ex-
cess OF s2O,OOO,OOO.O 900.
