MILITARY TRAINING.

Strongly impressed by the success fuI manner in which the Pfattsburg idea of military training worked out last year, the opening of the season this year finds every state represented among the 1900 student soldiers. This, of course, is a small number compared to those who would be required in case of trouble, but this is only one of the several training camps, which
 may have several classes during a season so that the number of plain American citizens who are being made
 capable of going to the aid of their
 country and rendering efficient ser vice in case of war, and who have
 shown their willingness to meet the
 expense connected with such training is not to be sneezed at.
 That this number will be consider ably increased in the future is highly
 probable because of the new army re-
 organization act, one section of which
 places the burden of the cost of such
 training upon the government Inas-
 much as it has cost each recruit $50 for board and uniform to say nothing of the transportation cost it can be appreciated that the Piattsburg idea while it may have appealed to large
 numbers, could only be taken advan- tage of By a few. Even under the new arrangement whereby the gov ernment will reduce the individua, expense theree will still be those who are in hearty sympathy with it and would like to profit by it but who vii be unable to because they cannot af-
 ford to devote ltl1e required time 1T
 securing such < military educa1iont Much of the Sburden will, however i be-. thus lifted and henceforth the training camps should prove a greater
 success than ever. The plan is an ex- cellent one and the lending of f1nan- ciaI as well as moral support to it bS l the government is just what is needed
 to secure the best results.

coRREcT Tl4IE DEFECT.

Tn view Of she great amount of good which has been accomplished since the passage of the Harrison drug law. interest cannot fail to attach to the recent decision of the United States supreme court regarding that federal act. Opposition was to be expected because of the many people who are involved, either as dispensers or users, and the highest court has now main tained that the statute concerns sole- ply those who deal In opium. The law was not intended, according to the interpretations placed upon it. to reach those who as users might have such drugs in their possession.
 It was maintained by the Western Pennsylvania circuit court that 1t was not a criminal act to possess opium but that the law was for the purpose of controlling those who sell it, and it is this contention which is now up- held by the supreme court. There was no claim in the indictment that the drug was to be dealt in by the person indicted and the court main tains that the law is so worded as to include only those who failed to reg ister as dealers, and this is the only interpretation that can be made since the wording of the act will make no other interpretation tenable.
 This will be regarded as the taking of the teeth out of the law. Many have been forced to give up the habit because of the prosecutions under this law and humanity was bound to profit from it, but a weakness has been found which the supreme court is powerless to change. The only remedy there fore lies in new legislation which will cover this very point and remove the defect, and inasnuch as this weak ness has been established, the thing to do is to get busy and correct it as soon as possible. There cannot be too much restrictive legislation regarding the Sale and use of opium and if the present law does not meet the re- quirements it should be made to.

Awardinq the Victoria Cross.

Notwithstanding the countless deeds of bravery that have been chronicled on the British front, the ceremony of awarding the Victoria Cross is still rare enough to be notable whenever 1t occurs. One such recent ceremony was, in fact, unique for the recipient was the Rev. Noel Mel1ish, a London curate, who is the first chaplain in the British army to receive the cross in the present war, or in any war since the second Afghan campaign of 1S79
 The units of the army were drawn up for the ceremony in a division forming hollow square on the spring green of an open field, in the center Of which stood MT. Mellish and other officers who were to receive lesser decorations. The general who pinned the ribbon on the chaplain's breast read a brief account of the gallantry that won him the honor. The gen. eral told how, again and again, Mel fish had risked his life to attend to and bring to places of safety those wounded in the fighting at St. Eloi. The clergyman, who is an extremely slender and boyish looking man of gentle manners rather than atypical fighting parson, took his Ilonors mod estly, and was given a hearty round of cheers by the thousands of soldiers present.

the American battleship IdsG1o. Spiro does mt live in Greece. He is from Saratoga, N. r., and when his ser vice is over in month or two he is going back to his candy shop in Sar- atoga as fast as the King Constantine can take him.
 The waiter at the one even halfway passa.ble resturant of Pfraeus is from the United States. to. He is doing his military service, though on leave for the present-iflxe most of the Greek army. So, with 1oathing in his heart, he works in a restaurant with sawdust covered floor and a row of barrels along the wall filled with sweet, aro- matfc Greek liquors, until his time is up and he can return to Harrisburgh, Pa.
 The few forbidding hotels of Piraeus fly American flags as well as Greek ones-just why, is mystery. Ameri- can tourists in Greece are rare these days of submarines in the Mediter- ranean. But perhaps the manager may have made his apprenticeship in a hotel on Broadway-reason enough to set out the American flag, In the mind of a Greek who has lived in the United States. The world around there are no more patriotic Americans than those who were born in Greece-and no more patriotic Greeks apparently than those who live in the United 1 States.

TlME,To eET ToegTHER.

All shades of opinion are being of fered by the followers of the progress osive standard as to what action will be taken regarding the situation {; Which has lbeen brought about by the nomination of Charles D. Hughes by the republican. convention and the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt by the progressfves, his subsequent ~J1eclinatfon of that honor and the statement that he is out of politics.
 There are those who are frank to admit that the progressives have been left high and dry, that there is noth- ing else for them to do but to sup port the republican nominee and that there is no question but what he will be the next president of the United States. They consider it their duty to support him because he stands prac- ticaIly if not quite for those princi- pies for which they are fighting.
 Others arc not willing to acl1nowl- edge their reconciliation or to prom ise their return to the party which they.Ieft, while many more gre sitting quiet and pondering with the proba- bility that they, will see the necessity of doing their part when tho time comes 10 elect the man who firmly and convine4ngly stands for America first
 MT. Roosevelt has seen the hand writing on the wall. He understands stne folly of putting a third ticket in to the field to do Just what 1t did four years ago and thepa is no question Sbut what those who have been sup- porting him will see the wisdom ot boosting the candidacy of MT. Hughes It is the one sound and logical course to pursue and one which will have nc future cause for regret. MT. Hughes has gone long way towards clearing up whatever doubt may have existed as to his position on vital questions and there is the man behind those declarations which cannot, be over- looked The time to get together has arrived.

At Piraeua Today.

An hour or so at a table in front of a cafe on the water front of@Piraeus, the Port of Athens, is an object les son in what the United States has be- come to Greece since the outbreak of the European war. Once the wheat of Greece came from Russia and Ru-
 mania by way of the Dardanelles. Now two huge cargo boats moored to the sea wall are disctlarging Ameri- can grain into the holds of a flock low streams. But the boats them selves are Greek, not American, and on their sides is painted the Greek flag the name of the boat in Roman leters and the single word Greece.
 On the quays, spread out in the hot looking black sacks bearing the inn print of New York firm and the label "granulated sugar" Once the sugar of Greece came from Trieste; now it journeys all the way from New Orleans. Four Greek merchants are tasting the contests of one of the op- ened sacks. The owner stands by, bill of 1ading in hand. The four retire to a distance to discuss terms. They all talk at once, waving their hands in impassioned gestures, no one paying the least attention to what the others are saying. When one dissents, he
 does not shake his head, but lifts it
 sharply upwards, clicking his tongue impatiently. The discussion takes a very long time, but finally the bargain is struck, and the four purchasers and the consignee of the sugar, their days work done, retire to a neigfIborlng cafe to talk politics over Turkish cof- fee.
 Close in the shadow of the wheat I ship, a dozen or so men are unpactdng | a crate A score of tdlers look on, ] deeply absorbed as little by little an
 automobile is revealed. The machine
 comes from Detroit, not from France,
 as would have been the case before 1 the war.
 Across the harbor a huge, white passenger vessel is naoored-the arg- I est passenger vessel in active service for the transatlantic trip, these war 1 times. 1t is the King Constantine, of | the National Greek Line, plying be- tween Piraeus and New York, making the trip in a fortnight.

They would return to ruined homes and devastated fields. Very wisely therefore those in author ity are urging the women and child ren to remain here while the men take up the work of rebuilding their homes.
 Among the organizations at work are the Russian government, local Ar menian and American committee. The latter, composed of F. Willoughby

Judge Hall of New Haven decides that holders of liquor club Certificates are not subject to the general provisions of the liquor law which prohibits Sum- day sales of liquor. That is interest ing for the saloon and hotel men who pay big money for licenses that are jeopardized by Sunday selling. The logic of the situation would appear to be to pay a smaller fee and take the larger privileges. Incidentally what a farce it makes of Connecicut's liquor laws.-Bristol Press.
