AtOnencnt.

It is not chaos, this wild, whirl1ng war That plunges nations into seas of blood; The crimson maelstrom is mans pen ance for An evil fruit he nourished in the bud, He knelt to kings, and kissed the royal hands That c1utched the riches his grim toll had won From wandering waters and from far flung lands; For kings he sailed the seas that seek the sun. God makes the monarch and the slaves he oWns,' The abject murmured as the ages fled; s"They to His will who sit upon His thrones; Who dies for king is of the hon. ored dead.'' Thus came war a king of kings de- creed, And millions perished for an an- cient lie; But through red strife is mans strange spirit freed, And chains are 1oosed because our saviors die.

Beach PIums Are Ripe.
(NeW IOrk Sun).

Volume XVIII. of the New Inter- national Encyclopedia, published this year, is a generally excellent work, but it contains, on page TAP, this in- defensible and snobbish attack on Prunus maritima
 As a class beach plums are of little value for their fruit, only a single named variety being listed.'
 The people of the Atlantic coast as far south as Virginia know better. A gOodly number of them are now pick ing these red and purple plums which, when steWed down ir sugar, have ! unique flavor. Eaten in preserves and jellies the bitterish beach plum is incOmparably fine. It is better than wild cherry, as a wild duck is better than a tame fowl on the table. The beach plum is the "gamest' of fruits to the epicure.
 This has been an exceptionally good year for beach plums. We know of woman whose daughters picked fifty-one quarts in a day and gave forty quarts away to be rid of an ex- cess they could not use. Long Island stores are selling them at six cents a quart or better, though to the dis eliminating palate they are cheap at any price. We ourselves have ar ranged for the apotheosis of not less
 than eight quarts, although sugar is high. When the icy winds blow some
 months hence it will be pleasant to sit before a roaring fireplace with i several slices Of bread spread with 1 beach plum jelly. As we take slow l bites we shall bend forward to read 1 by the freight and the pages we l shall turn will be those of Stevenson. 1 Without doubt beach plums grew l thickly on his treasure island.

For a Greater Cana da. |.
Providence JOurnaD,

Providence JOurnaD.
 There is a movement on foot in Canada having for it's objective the inclusion of the Bermudas and the British West Indies in the Dominion. The inspirers of the movement in- clude number of prominent Cana dians, who have banded themselves together as the Canadian West In- dian League. The proposition has not as yet passed beyond the embryonic stage, but it is believed that the peo- pie of the islands would generally welcome the change. If the proposed union should be effected, British Hon. duras and British Guiana-and pos sibly the far away Falkland Islands might also be included in the con- solidation. Newfoundland, which has hitherto persistently refused to be- come a part of the Dominion, would probably relent and thus complete the unification of British Am erica, if the rest of Britain's colonies in the Vest ern Hemisphere should get together.
 Newfoundland has a population of about 250, 900, and the other British Am erican colonies have altogether rather more than two million people. The white inhabitants of the Bermu- das constitute about tWo-fifts of their population, but the whites in the Brit ish colonies to the sOuthWard hardly exceed 2 per cent. of the inha bitants. The majority of the colored inhabl- tants are hardly capable of self-gOv- ernment, and because of the latter fact that the Canadians would hardly be willing to accord the people of the new accessions full electoral and rep resentative rights.
 The proposed annexations would prove a drain upon the Dominion treasury, but would result in a profit able trade between Canada and it's tropical friends. The great prosper ity which has come to Porto Rico since the Stars and Stripes were raised over it would although in lesser measure, be experienced by the British American tropics under a free interchange of products with Canada Their prosperity might be greater were they annexed to this country, but the Canadian market itself is a great one, and Canada can consume all the sugar, tobacco and other products that the British American tropics have to sell.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Looking Back On the Tour.
Springfield Republican.)

Candidate Hughes is to rest a bit in New York city after his second ex- tended campaign tour. His general health is reported good, and as the New York Sun puts it "only his voice. overdriven incredibly, needs special attention. It is likely that a week of quiet and ministrations by a throat specialist will restore to full strength the organ so imperatively necessa ry to the republican campaign." The strain MT. Hughes was obliged to en- dure is shown by the fact that in twelve days he travelled $500 miles, and since the outset of his campaign has covered 2O,OOO. He delivered S9 speeches in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indi- ana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
 The reporters agree that MT. Hughes has increased in effectiveness as a cam paigner since his first trip to the west
 The New York Tribune correspond ent says that the Hughes speeches, especially since he has made the at tack on the Adamson law their chief feature, have "dispelled all rumors that he was cold and unappealing, that he could never enthuse a crowd or make 1t warm up to him. The New York Sun writer's verdict is that 1t is the candid opinion of men who observed very closely MT. Hughes progress through the middle west, and with every effort to estimate without bias that it was a vote making, thought provoking tour. There can be no honest doubt that MT. Hughes did the correct thing in paying much attention to the middle west, and add ed immensely to his friends out there"
 The New York Times man says re- publicans conceded Ohio to be a doubtful state, looked on New Jersey as hopeful and held that the speeche es of their candidate "have assured him the solid republican votes in districts of New York state visited outside of New York city" But, finally, there has crept into the situation with the close of the second tour of MT. Hughes an atmosphere of tenseness which had not been present before. Political leaders who publicly had predicted a landslide for one party or another a short time ago were privately express ing the opinion that it looked like a close fight"

Sir Wilfred is Coming Back.
(Waterbury Democrat)

The average citizen of the United States knows very little about Cana dian politics, and yet the subject is one which should interest all of us very much, because of our close prox- lm1ty to the Dominion and the many personal and business ties which bind the two countries together. Particu- larly should we watch Canadian pOli- tlcs now, owing to the practical cer- talnty that the voters of Canada will at their next general election over- throw the conservative government and return the liberals to power The provincial election Just held in British Columbia resulted in an over whelming liberal victory. So far as British Columbia is concerned, the conservative party was practically wiped off the map. This election was quite generally considered the last hope of the conservative party. For IS months or more things have been steadily going against the cOnserva- tiVeS. Every provincial and every bi- election has registered a liberal vic- tory, similar in meaning to the recent election in British Columbia and the provincial election in Manitoba about a year ago. The liberal party showed increased pluralitieS in Quebec and Montreal, and carried the day in every case where a special election was held to fill a vacancy. Various reasons are given for these evidences of liberal strength, including some dissatisfac- ton with the way in which the Borden government has handled Canadian &C., tivities, a growing feeling of conserva- tive inefficiency in other ways and the purging from the liberal party of the special privilege interests which brought it into disfavor and were largely responsible for it's downfall a few years ago. The Dominion general election will be held in the fall of 1917
 It would naturally have come this year, but was postponed twelve months because of war conditions. It seems practically certain, barring a complete revulsiOn of feeling, that the liberals will return to power in Can ada in 1917. This, in turn, will mean that Sir Wilfred Laurier, Canada S Grand Old Man." again will be pre- mier of the Dominion at 70.

The Case of O'Leary.

(New Haven JOurnal-COurier.)
 MT. Jeremiah A. O'Leary, the pres ident of the American Truth society, has in a moment of political ecstasy done more to embarrass MT. Hughes by insulting President Wilson than anything that has thus far entered in to the consideration of the campaign. He has brought the hyphenate phase of the campaign right out in the open where men can see and view it; where MT. Hughes cannot possibly ignore it without confirming the unpleasant i'm pression that he is willing and know ing beneficiary of the hypheate vote.
 No assurance of undiluted Ameri- canis1n can satisfactorily dispose of MT. OLeary and his radical support of MT. Hughes. No assurance of Am erica First and Always can satisfac- torily dispose of the fact that the president of the United States has been grossly insulted by one who can in no cOnceiva ble manner be granted a reputation for genuine American citizenship. MT. OLeary and his as sociatiOn are opposing President Will son because he is for America before all other considerations. MT. O'Leary and his association are sup porting MT. Hughes mecause they do not attribute to him a like condition of mind. MT. Hughes cannot afford to profit by such an endorsement any more than MT. Wilson could have af- forded for a moment to remain si- lent under the vulgar letter sent him by MT. OLeary.
 MT. OLcary may not be anti-Amer ican. His hatred, which has a profess SiODal sound of EngIand is so bitter that he is ready to be pro or anti any thing provided blows are struck at tho welfare of England. In this particu- lar campaign, which should be non- partisan so far as the internatioal re- latiOns of this country are concerned Mr. O'Leary is pro- German because that attitude permits him to show his hatred of England. A sense of un- diluted Amcricanism demanded of MT. Wilson that he denOunce MT. O'Leary for his disloyalty, and to de- nounce all others who think as he thinks. Nothing would confirm the impression of his sturdy Americanlsm so much as for MT. Hughes to set his seal Of disapproval upon the imDerti- nent letter sent President Wilson by MT. OLeary and the sentiments it eX- | presses. Mr. Hughes cannot afford to l let the opposite impression prevail. l That moro th2n anything else is call ! ing into question his temperamenta 1 fitness for the high office for which he | is a candidate. It is just such an in | cident IS this of MT. O'Leary's that l forces men to ask, what has become Of l the Charles Evan Hughes whose rec
 ord is written so high in the great l state of New York?

The German Attitude,
New Haven Journal-Courier. }

(NeW Haven Journal-Courier)
 The tone of the German press, both in it's home country and in this, con- tinues to be critical of the adminis- tration in power and of those who, in office, can be accredited to it. Am bassador Gerard is still made the sub Ject of unfrlendly comment by the German newspapers in spite of the character of the service he has given as ambassador and resident
 It is natural that large mum Der of American citizens should find their surprise at this attitude of German newspapers here and abroad develop ing into deep resentment. There are differences of opinion among Ameri- can citizens as to the manner in which the administration has conduct
New Britain herald., 1916-10-04

the same way, in order to bring an- other factional element to his side. Lincoln made Simon Cameron sec retary of War-a thoroughly disrep- utable appointment, for Cameron was entirely unfitted for such an import ant post.
 When Mckinley became president he was anxious to reward his friend, Mark Hanna, for his services by gratifying his ambition to become United States senator This could only be accomplished by inducing one of the Ohio senators to resign. The trick was turned by offering the position of secretary of state to Sen ator John Sherman, a feeble old man already suffering from senile de- cay. This was an inexcusable per formance, because our country was then on the brink of a war with Spain, and abilities of a high order were required in the state department. Mckinley absolutely ignored this ia ct in order to do a political favor for Hanna
 Political considerations have al- ways largely ruled in the appoint ments of secretaries of state, just as in those of other cabinet officers. This may not be good practice but it prevailed long before Woodrow Wilson was born, and 1t will prob ably continue indefinitely. MT. Bryan may not have made an ideal secre- tary but his qualifications for tho place were certainly as great as those of most of his predecessors. When Roosevelt for example, named Robert Bacon for this office was any pretense made that this was other than as reward for faithful personal service and conspicuous success while part her in the firm of J. P. Morgan in collecting generous contributions for the G. o. P.? If one were to sub ject MT Taft's own cabinet selections to a critical examination, especially those of such men as Ballinger and Hitchcock, it wold be found that they were made purely with a view to domestic politics. If we are to have party government politics can- not be eliminated from appoint ments, however high

The Zeppelin a Military Failure.
(Philadelphia InQuirerl.

For many years the militarists of Germany prepared with great care for the war which they at last forced upon a goodly section of the civilized world. Leaving aside all questions save that of their preparedness, there must be admiration for the great work they accomplished in the way of getting ready. Their seize guns were astonishingly effective. Their trench building was marvellous. But in one thing they have fallen far short of expectations. Their Zep- pelins have proved to be rank faii- ure. When we say failure we mean from a military point of view. Of course, Zeppelin can drop bombs upon unfortified cities or upon vil- lages and kill men, women and chil- dren in their beds. But that is not war. That is pure murder and of particularly atrocious kind, akin to the drowning of the passengers of the Lusitania.
 Much had been anticipated of the Zeppelins In fleets they were to at tack England, blow up it's defences and it's ammunition plants and open the country to invasion. Two years and more have gone by, and the highest accomplishm of the Zeppe- lin has been murder. So far as is known there has been no important destruction from a military viewpoint It is apparent that there can be no such destruction based upon any pre- conceived plan. The bomb must be dropped aimlessly, and if it hits any thing it is by chance and chance only Not only that, but the fact that two of these airships were brought down in the Saturday night raid proves that schemes of defence can be highly or ganized
 Germany has expended untold mil lions upon this sort of craft, millions that are worse than wasted, for all that the Zeppelin has amounted to has been to increase the detestation that civilization holds for all atrocities. !.

ed it's case with Germany, but we have heard no word of criticism af- fecting the main principle of neu- tralitv from citizens free from hy- phenated prejudice. The real basis of the opposition to the administra- tion lies in its refusal to place an embargo upon munitions of war. Its refusal is based upon principles of strict neutrality. and has been ap- proved by no less an authority on international law than William How ard Taft, and by all unprejudiced professors of international law. An attempt to intimidate the congress in to forbidding the exportation of mu- nitions of war was indignantly re- jected by republicans and democrats alike The great sense of the coun- try favors exactly the policy that has been pursued from the start or the war.
 And yet ouriously enough the Ger man-American vote is going to De cast for MT. Hughes, the nominee or the party which, with the democrats refused to approve the proposed e1n- bargo law He has over ana over again declared his und1luted Anerl- canism but without impression upon that vote Either they do not oe- lieve him or they are satisfied that they are enrolled with their friends The quickest way. perhaps, to clear LID the situation would be for some one to ask MT. Hughes and force from him an answer to the question; Would you, if elected, place an em- bargo upon munitions of war? That would clarify things in a second. We should know then where we are.

evidence in the case is all at hand. it must be guided by the cool light of reason and not by any passionate dis play over foreign entanglements.
 Europe and America are farther apart than the Atlantic ocean separ- ates them. The problems here are different from those that must be This country is builded upon bigger and broader lines than any of the countries of the Old World, and men should understand these things be- fore they attempt to bring foreign relations into our domestic politics. It is all very well to profess love and veneration for the native land, for the erstwhile home land, for the land where one was born. It is all very wrong to carry that love to the polls where an American election is to be very likely to disrupt the national or ganization, to overthrow all the good work that has gone on since those brave men fought for the freedom of the nation. We are one hundred and forty years removed from king rule. This is no time to go back, no time to cast votes bearing a European tinge. What we do here in America should be of little or no concern to any foreign power, whether the coat of arms of that power carrys lion and unicorn or eagle and dove rampant. In all our past elections the questions decided were solely and purely domes- tic. Any attempt to bring foreign in- fluences to bear at this time is nothing short of treason, no matter who the offending element, and true Ameri- cans, whether native or foreign born, will have none of it.

Politics in Appointments. (Philadelphia ReCOrd).

In his labored attack on the Will son administration Professor Taft, of Yale, makes the awful charge that William Jennings Bryan was appoint ed secretary to state ito solidlfy the democratic party in congress in SUD- port of legislation which MT. Wilson was seeking, and with a view to do
 mestic politics." Well, what of it? That was perfectly valid reason fer the appointment. When Lincoln be-
 came president he chose as his secre- tary of state William H. Seward, who had been his principal competitor for the republican nomination for the presidency Seward was a lawyer without diplomatic experience, and the appointment was made purely for the purpose of bringing his faction of the party to the support of the ad- ministration in it's policies. This was good politics and good sense. In

GIVING A SHARP LESSON.

On Monday last the New Yorker Herold, under the caption, "Where the Germans Stand" said editorially:
 Every now and then we receive letters the contents of which may be summarized in the following question: Tn the face of the fact that Messrs. Roosevelt, Bacon, and other rabid anti Germans are standing by Hughes, don't you believe that German-Amer icanism is entering upon a dangerous path when it unreservedly supports the Republican candidate?'
 Tn answer to this we are able to say that, judging from Hughes past, he will not, under any circumstance allow himself to be influenced by these elements In his environment. But even in the worst case, even If Charles E. Hughes should wish to take into office with him the pro- Britishism and the anti -Germanism of which Woodrow Wilson has given such practical and extensive proofs every citizen of German origin should cast his vote for Hughes, for the req sons outlined, as follows, by a Ger man pastor writing in the Herold des Glaubens: -'.:
 In case the German-Americans , give Mr. Wilson a sharp lesson
 in the election, his successor,
 Hughes, in order not to spoil the
 prospects of a second term, will
 take this we'll to heart and not
 feel under the obligation of
 treading on the German Amer
 icans' cOrns too much a la Will
 son. "German blows" have al-
 
 once in this country and brought
 efractory politicians to their
 senses. In my opinion, this mode
 of procedure is the only way by
 which the German-Americans
 can extricate themselves with propriety from the dilemma that
 has developed and assert them
 selves politically with respect and
 honor, without mourning derison and being exposed to ridicule.
 'These words come from our own heart. United and powerful action is needed-and every vote for Wilson is vote for unneutrality, partiality, l and England"
 The aforegoing should meet with the hearty approval of all those who hold to the 100 per cent candidates idea of t'Undiluted Americanism, and America First, and America Eff | cient.' It is indeed a sharp lesson.

Thus does space afford If in grudging proportions. The sfs has aetendency to overflow the Irowness of the columns.

Shade re- a,ks that a building originally de- &ed togho1d 500 pupils is this year 4ed to give quarter to an enroll lt of some 700. By the mar Hing of aisles, the use of teach rooms and museums, and by
