the new monarch had taken over the

that may have been desired.
It was with difficulty that the por-
ton Of the hearing which has taken
place was secured by Mr.. Osborne
and inasmuch as the prosecution Is
unwilling to go ahead with the other
indictments it is possible that nothing
further will be done about them, but
thus far there has been nothing in
troduced which shakes the confidence
of those who have persistent1y backed

Whether the dismissal of the indict-
ment will mean the immediate return
of Mr.. Osborne to the duties which he
was forced to relinquish remains to
be seen. That he should be allowed
to carry out to a definite conclusion
the work which he has undertaken
cannot be questioned. To end it where

OLD TIN CANS.

In its health news the United
States public health service says who
would have thought that the tin can
is a menace to the public health? The
expert malaria investigators have
found that discarded tin cans con-
tanning rain water are breeding places
for the mosquito which is the sole
agent in spreading malaria. Empty
tin cans have no business about the
premises anyway, but if we must dec
crate our back yards, let's see to it
that the can has a hole in the bot
tom"
This is a matter which ought to get
much greater attention than it does,
for there is a double service that can
be rendered by cleaning up the old
tin cans wherever they may be. Not
only do they cause a most untidy ap-
pearance wherever they are thrown
about a yard or lot which in itself
should be enough for those who are
responsible for their being there to
stop the practice, but when it is real
lied that they serve as breeding
place for mosquitoes, a pest which is
most unwelcomed even though 1t were
not the extensive disease carrier that
it is, no further urging ought to be
far as the discarded tin can is con-
Cerned.
There is no excuse in SO cases out
of 100 for throwing tin cans out OF
the backdoor to go where they may
and to remain where they stop. It is
invariably the result of thoughtless-
ness as we'll as a disregard for the
appearance of the surrounding prop
erty, all Of which can he easily over

dangers that are connected with it

GERMAN RESPONSIBILITY.

Ever since the allies have taken
possession Of Saloniki they have
shown the disposition to reimburse
the Greeks for any losses which such
temporary occupation may have
caused. That may have been the rea-
son for the presentation to General
Serial, commander of the allied
forces, of a bill for damages amount
ing to a million and a quarter which
it is figured was caused by the airship
raids which have been made in that
section by the Teutonic allies. That
he could not accept the responsibility
for that can be readily appreciated
and it must be admitted that the
French general acted within the man
ner that might have been expected
when he referred the Greek officials,
as claimed, to Germany for the COL
lection Of the bill.
It could hardly be expected that the
allies would admit responsibility for
the damage which was inflicted upon
Greek property by the actions Of the
central powers. It is possible to
control that which is done by those
under his command but General Ser
rail could not attempt to reimburse
Greece for the manner in which the
indiscriminate dropping of bombs up
on Saloniki by the Teutons has occa-
stoned serious loss. Those attacks
were not confined to the military po-
sitions which the allies occupied, but
were delivered with the abandon
which has characterized them in other
countries, where private property has
been destroyed and defenseless men
women and children killed.
This action by Commander Serial
is only what might have been expect.
ed under the circumstances. He in
sists that Germany must settle TO
the damage which it has done to thu
Greeks, and though it may be Difficult
to collect the bill now, there can b.
no question but what Greece will b
taken care of If the war favors tn
allies.
