Sidelights on the European War

Paris.-The sword of honor present

subscription has been placed under a
glass case in the Petit Palais, one of
Paris's museums. The weapon pur-
chased by the pennies Of the French

the Germans have been driven out of

Albert will come to visit Paris and
sheathe the naked blade when he re-

numerous difficulties with the San

been avoided only by the tact and
patience Of the officers Of the ship.
One annoyance the officers have had
to contend with has been the removal
Of cloth markers that the surveyors
placed along the shore. The Indians

temptation to resist. After numerous
remonstrances, the officers threatened
that for each marker stolen certain

felled in reprisal. This had the desired
result, for after few trees had been
chopped the Indians realized that the
price was too high to pay for a few
cents worth of bright colored cloth.

not to stand while playing, singing oil
rendering "Ihe Star Spangled Banner
! The purpose of the ordinance, we sup
pose, is to inculcate spirit of patriot
ism among the people of Baltimore and
thus to start movement of like nature
spreading all over the country until the
time shall come when to hear the first
strains of Francis Scott Keys produc-
ton will be the signal to everyone to
rise, whether it be the performer or the
audience. Failure to be obedient to the
ordinance constitutes a misdemeanor and
the person so guilty shall be liable to a
fine of not more than $780, Thus be-
gins an effort to club patriotism into the
American people, or rather to club a
certain measure of ostentatious display
into the American people. Love of coun
try by fat, SO to speak. You must pre-
sent the semblance OF patriotism, the
outward shell, whatever may be your
inward feelings regarding the matter.
An Interpretation of the ordinance would
be that he who recognizes the music and
jumps to his feet when "The Star Span
gled Banner" is being played, sung or
rendered is a good American and worthy
of all credit, while he who is slow to
recall the piece is marked down as un-
patriotic and unworthy of decent place
with his fellow -countrymen. 1t is all
wrong to endeavor to force patriotism
into the American people by keeping
them hopping up and down as the strains
of more or less familiar tune float out
TO them or cease floating. Patriotism
built on that foundation is not patriot
ism at all but blind following of a
form. Real patriotism is founded on
something far deeper than that. At the
same time one must admit that the Gus
tom of rising when a national piece is
being given is a pretty thing do. Let

tuberculosis is one OF the worst
scourges which the French army has to
contend with, no less than 10000 sol
diers having been discharged from the
service during the first 20 months of the
present war. This disease has thus
greatly weakened the national defense,
probably more than any single cause ex-
cepting wounds received in the course of
battle. Such an outcome was to be ex
pected in a situation in which men were
taken from shops and, not Injured toI
hardship and severe labor were thrown
almost Immediately into trenches filled
with water and disease germs, and often
suffering deprivation for long intervals
of conflict. Many of the French soldiers
were, therefore, at the mercy of physical
ailments at the very outset, before they
were hardened to the unusual work of
the army life. 1t is not remarkable that
they fell victims to disease of the lungs |
An American volunteer army serving un-
der like conditions would is readily be-
come victims of consumption and other
diseases which might be contracted in
trenches, for the American volunteers
would be found to be not more fit physi-
cally than were the French people at the
beginning of this war tuberculosis is
one of the greatest enemies which eiti-
zen soldiery must contend with, especial
ly if the scene of the conflict be located
in a wet district. The conditions on the
Mexican border should be such as to
make the National Guards as nearly inn
mune as possible from tuberculosis.
There should be comparatively slight
outbreak of diseases of the lungs.

In another column of to.day's paper
announcement is made by Thomas II
Cave, jr., of his candidacy for the posi-
ton OF state auditor of accounts to sue
coed Horace +. Graham of Craftsbury,
and the announcement should appeal to
every voter in Vermont. 1t is a concise
and accurate statement of the mans ex-
perience in many positions OF Importance
and of trust Mr.. Caves career in bus
mess and banking occupations has been
capped by four years Of service as assist
ant state treasurer, a position, by the
way, which he still occupies; and the
training which he secured in those capac-
tiles fits him well for the duties which
devolve upon the state auditor. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Caves prediction
and his training make him well adapted
to the work as state auditor, and should
the voters of Vermont desire to recog-
nize that fitness by making him auditor
they will secure a very capable official.
From all persons who care more for es-
pecial fitness than for any other consid
Grafton The Times bespeaks a hearty
support for Mr. Cave.
