STORIES OF THE WAR
Atrocities In Turkey.

Confirmation from trustworthy Ger man sources or reports of atrocities committed by the Turks against Christians in Turkey has just come into the possession of the British Government through it's censorship of the mails. The confirmation is in the form of a protest sent to the Ger man Foreign Office by the Faculty of the German High School at Aleppo, Turkey. In it the German professors state that unless Germany acted to restrain the Turks that the crimes and outrages committed by the Turks will always remain a terrible stain on Germany's honor among the genera tions to come"
 } A copy of the protest was found in a letter written by Dr. Edward Graet- ner, one of the signers, from Baslea Switzerland, on. July '. to a distin- guished German theo1ogian in 9 neu- tral country. Here it is:
 'tAleppo, 9th October, 1915.
 I've humbly beg to report the fol- lowing to the Foreign Office:
 We feel it our duty to call the attention of the Foreign Office to the fact that our school work, the for1na- tion of a basis of civilization and the instilling of respect in the natives will be henceforward impossible if the German Government is not in posi- tion to put an end to the brutalities inflicted here on the exiled wives and children of murdered Armenians,

DISREGARD THE WARNINGS

It is a curious state of affairs when It is revealed by the records of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company that for the year ending with June 30 there has been no abatement of the trespassing evil but rather an increase in the number who were killed or injured while On railroad property, for when it is shown that there were 172 persons killed, or 83 more than last year, and 346 in jured, which was 76 more than Tn the previous twelve months, it reveals an Increased tendency to carelessness thatl shows little respect for personal safety.
 Such being the case. and especially after the road has done so much to warn track walkers and those who frequent railroad property of the dan- ger which they encounter, it is not surprising that the company has felt compelled to undertake the prosecu- lion of those who are found upon rail- road property, as was recently done In a Massachusetts town where 15 men were arrested and upon being presented in court were fined five dol lars apiece.
 Inasmuch as too little attention ic being paid to the warnings it is time that something different was tried for he purpose of stopping the needless waste of life. Where laws exist against the use of railroad property there Is no question but what they should be enforced, and the large num- per of accidents simply point to the necessity of such laws where they do not already exist.

Amusing Happenings at Front.

Soldier stories of amusing happen ings at the front are many. There is considerable rivalry among the Cana dians and the Anzacs-the men from Australia and New Zealand. The Eng fish think they are both such good soldiers there is little to choose be- tween them. This incident happened at canteen sometime ago when the Australians first came to the western front Several Canadians were with in when they espied the wide -brimmed campaign hats that ditinguish the An zacs from all the other soldiers. The Canadians gave their fellow colonials a hearty welcome and an equally hearty invitation to ."have something" ," These fraternal details having been attended to a Canadian turned to one of the Australians.
 When did you fellows come over7" he asked.
 Just got in this morning."
 Well, what you going to do?"
 This was too good an opening for the Ansac.
 "Oh," he said in a 'swanky' tone, i've came over to finish what you fell lows started"
 :. "Humph." replied the Canadian, tits

THE NEW EASTERN DRIVE.

While the allies on the west front have been plugging away and nak- ing appreciable advances into the ter ritory held by the Germans, there has been a lull in the offensive operations of the Russians. It may have been the resistance which was furnished by the Teutons, or it may simply have been breathing spell taken for the purpose of organizing their forces for a new attack following the success which attended their efforts in Bullo- wina and Galicia, and with the reports which are now coming from that front there are reasons for believing that tke latter is the probable explanation Of the let up.
 Now the Russians are again going forward with I,emberg as the objec- tive and in this offensive they have the equipment and men which are necessary to make it a success. The Teutons are not belittling their abil- ity nor are they unmindful of the further loss of prestige which would be suffered should the Russians sue eeed in recapturing that important point. This is disclosed by the atten- ton which Chief of Staff won Hin aenburg is deyoting to the eastern front to which he is reported to have sent many new divisions. Tenn porarily he. appears to have thrown a scare into the Rumanians but from the way in which they have come back It may only be temporary from which they have undoubtedly learned as i'm portant a lesson as the Russians did Dn their previous drive. The world, however, is anxiously awaiting the re- suit, however. when the allies actual ly get into motion on all the fronts, Including that about Saloniki.

A LESSON IN DISCIPLINE.

No Baily Funeral.

There is a rule in London that ex- cept in emergency cases military am balances must not exceed five miles an hour. This slow pace, designed for the comfort of the wounded, sometimes proves irksome to them. One badly shattered Tommie lifted his head from the stretcher a few days ago and hail. ed the chauffeur.
 q say, would you mind driving a bit faster; this ain't no bally funeral" ;"
 There is also the story of Tommy Dodd, the most cheerful and indomit- able little fellow in his command. Tommy was badly laid out a day or two ago with four or five nasty shrap- nel wounds. He was arranging some barbed wire standards along towards evening, and in the enthusiasm of his work got a bit nearer ''Whizz Bang Corner than he should. A shell burst low overhead and Tommy Dodd went down in a cloud of dust.
 Looks almost like a Blighaty for me, sir, don't it,' he said to an officer who ran to his rescue. Then the stretcher men came along to bear Tommy away to the dressing station. Tommy gave a grim little smile as they strengthened up.
 Home, James, he sighed.

Betrayed By the President.


 The disa greeable truth expressed bluntly and without mipcing words, is that the interests of the American people as a whole have been betrayed -bNaA the President. Intimidated by tho railroad br0therhoods. he has suIrend- cred to their demands. IL cannot be said that all of our presidents except MT. Wilson were great statesmen or that all of them except MT. Wilson were as wise as Solomon or that all of them except Mr Wilson fulfilled the expectations of the people. It can be said that none of them, except Nr Wilson, no matter what his faults, his temptations, or his weaknesses, ever sacrificed the interests of the com munity as a whole to the interests of one particular class.
 The President did not take the in terests of the great mass of the peo- pie into consideration before yielding to the demands of the brotherhoods. although the cost of the eight-hour day will come out of their pockets in the end. He did not even take into consideration the interests of the -stockh olders of the railroads. although they number all told more than 500. 900 and in many cases their investments are depended upon to provide incomes for widows, minors and orphans Worst of all. he did not take into con- sideration the humiliation of the spec tacle of the government Of the United States, a nation with a population of 100, 900 human beings, neelkly complying with the demands of a few men who claimed to have the power to disrupt the transportation system of the cOuntry.-ROcheste Democrat and Chronicle

HOW GERMANY FEELS.

However one may feel regarding the war in Europe it will be impossible
 to deny that Germany is a hard fight ing nation. It made preparations long
 in advance of the war and it has made
 great use of them, so that it is not sur | prising that Chancellor ven Beth
 mann -Hollweg7 should declare that
 Germany is not ready for peace while her house is burning" or that in it's
 present position he should have the courage to declare I've will win.''
 German assurance has never Jagged
 throughout the war and the cabinet
 officer does not intend that it shall show the white feather at this time
 if it can be prevented. His address
 to the reichstag must therefore be looked upon a further appeal to patriotism, a word of encouragement possibly when the clouds hang heavy. It is also possible to look upon it l much tho same as the speech of Lloyd | George. in which it was declared that
 the present is no time for the talking of peace. Bethmann-H Hollweg Is ap- parently sincere in his belief that Ger
 many will eventually win, and while it is to be hoped, when he refers to using against the enemy "every avail dHle InsIr unenI or battle that would really shorten the war; that he still
 holds to his determination to keep the submarine warfare restricted to the | rules of international law, it gives the impression that he, too, considers that it should be carried on until there is a decisive victory. With both sides l feeling that way. there certainly is no l chance now for the peace advocates to make much impression upon the | fighting nations.

It was a Donnybrook fair for a time, but event ually was delivered was delivered with renewed and mutual respect for CO., lonial fighting ability. Both Canadians and Anzacs delight in the nocturnal raids made almost every night on the close-lying German trenches. On one of these recently a Canadian lieutenant worked his way unseen to an enemy dugout and sud- nasty, rainy night, cold and damp, and a group of Germans were seated about a little stove.

young mans favor that he was a Prookie. entirely unacsuairted with the kind of department that is required in military organizations and it is en- tirely possible that he did not realize just what kind of an offense he was committing, but it was nevertheless severe breach of discipline and in order that the impression should not be allowed to get a foothold in the minds Of others that leniency might be expected under such circumstances 1t was necessary to make an example of the raw recruit for the benefit that such lesson would have upon others
 The result in his case will, there fore, be expected to have its effects not only upon this particular young man but upon all others who may have been likewise inclined to give too little consideration to the importance Of respecting discipline.

OUR MACHINE GUN EQUIPMENT.


 The success of the Lewis machine gun as handled by the British on the western front has apparently brought the war department of this country to the realization of the shortcomings which existed when this nation was prevented from getting an impartial tryout of this important weapon, and of the necessity of remedying the trouble.
 There are reasons for believing that it was most unfortunate that this gun, perfected by a retired army official and offered to this government, should have been passed up without a thor ough tryout, and that it should have been necessary to take it to Europe in order to have its merits demonstrated. It is not the only machine gun that the British use but when they secure 30, 900 of them and rely upon them to carry on the operations in the Somme offensive, it must be recognized that Great Britain had its eyes open for an efficient weapon and did not throw it aside because it was the invention of an American or because it already had machine guns of another type. The action which has now been taken by the war department in the appointment or Doard or HFe oIIIcerS and two civilians to so into the ma- chine gun problem comes late. It is the direct result of the revelations l which have been made by the inven- tor of the Lewis gun and though it is late it is to be hoped that it will be settled right and that the machine gun equipment of this country will not suffer further from lack of proper att tention in considering the different | types of guns.

Fathers old friends, the Hartleys. had often asked me to Southbank, their country home at Indian Lake, but as I believed that their idea of enjoyment was to work nearly all day in the garden and go to bed with the chickens at night did not accept. Indeed. I declined so often that they ceased to invite me, and I, had never felt the slightest desire to see the place until about a week ago. That she and Frank were going to take Franks brother, Jack, into the colln- try for a little outing. before his re- turn to New York.
 I've have decided.s she said, 'to go to Grants inn at Indian Lake" Indian Lakei" I repeated.
 'Ts there anything astonishing about Indian Lalze?" asked Lora.
 NO. but l was just wondering how you settled on that quiet little place. "
 'fWhy, it's a charming spot. Lucille. Frank and I love 1t. The inn grounds of ours, MT. and Mrs. Hartley, who al- ways do a great deal for our pleas ure." r.a E. C&t5 ew
 'FWel1. what a coincidence!" I said. "The Hartleys are old family friends of our own. The truth is, Lora, I've often been warmly urged to visit them at Southbank, but I've never got around to going. Your description makes me feel like seeing Indian Lake myself. I just believe I'll run up, too, for the weekend. It will be awfully jolly if you people are at the inn, won't it'?'
 Why. yes.'
 What day are you going:o" Frank can't get away until Satur- day. but we hope to start early in the morning in order to arrive before 5oy
 "Oh, you're going to motor?"
 "Yes."
 How lovely! It will be beautiful drive"
 Yes. I think so. You know our car is rather small, Lucille. I'm afraid that after we Gilmours are packed in with our suitcases there won't be room to make another passenger com fortable"
 ''Try me-" I replied gayly. 'Tn be ready any time you say.''
 o As it Hs turned out out we were rather the morning, because Franks car Is ri dicuously small.
 "Oh. dear" complained Lora before we had left the city limits. "There's a suitcase on my feet. I can't endure that'
 on behind?" I asked.
 Because we have no luggage car | rier." answered Frank. a.5- "But I have often seen baggage roped on the backs of cars" T believe Lucille is right Stop at the first store and I'll buy some rope offered Jack, and when we got it l jumped out of the car to assist him We had quite e veMatfeus 'tfrhe getting the suitcases tied and soon saw that I. who am clever at such things would have to show Jack how it could best he done.
 When I realized how spattered the suitcases would get. l was glad that my travelling bag was not the right shape to be corded on. for it would have been pity to have such a hand some bag covered with mud. T believe that some one wishes to pass us," said Lora late in the after noon when we were whirlnhg along an especially good stretch of road. Just hear that horn!"

Of all the desirable attributes in politics and politicians, fairness is the crowning glory. The speech Of acceptance made by George M. Landers last night upon the occasion of his nomination for Democratic State Senator insures campaign waged against his opponent George w. Klett that will be ultra fair in all it's aspects. MT. Landers is setting a precedent in politics when he departs from the threadbare path and launches forth into fields anew. He admits the many good qualities Of the man who is running against him, something which has seldom been heard ill the political arena. New Britain then is to witness campaign between two men, either of whom will truly represent her in the state legislature, but each standing for diff ferent policies, for different political creeds. There can be no mud slung in the campaign, because there is no

Grim Humor.

Instances of the Iightness n of heart with which the soldiers. go into the war are many. In embarking for act i've service the Canadians are given pay books in which their allowances are entered from time to time. The book also serves for identification pur- poses and the last page is set aside for the making of a will. Some of those that have turned up lately have proved grimly humorous. One said:
 T give everything I have to the Home for Stray Cats, London, provid- ed they don't take in any more black cats"
 Another read:
 ''In case I should died (chesrs) I will everything to my mother. Loud and prolonged cheers.)"
 Both were held to be valid.
