A MAGNIFICENT GIFT

The following from the Falon Eagle
will be of interest to the many friends
OF Mr.. and Mrs. George b. Williams of
this place:
Archdeacon Hazlett gave very pleas
ing news to his congregation, as well
as 10 the community, last Sunday
morning during the service at Trinity
church when he made the statement
that Mr.. and Mrs. George B. Williams
has decided to erect a memorial TO
their little son-their first born
whose death occurred in Reno, March
16. 1907, his age being seven years.
The memorial will consist, not of a
useless marble shaft, but instead a
handsome concrete building, 30x40
feet, adjoining the Trinity Episcopal
church. This memorial hall will be
used as an annex to the church for all
social functions having to do with any
department of church work, as we'll
as for gymnasium. There will be Il
stage, reading room and gymnasium
equipment.
This announcement came at very
fortunate time-when DR.. Hazlett was
delivering a special sermon to the
knights of the Round Table, an organ.
ization composed of young men and
boys OF the church. who would have
been playmates and companions of
George B. Williams Jr., had his life
been spared. The good, uplifting in
fluence that this splendid gift from
Mr. and Mrs. Williams will have upon
the lives of these young men and in
fact upon the lives of many yet un
born, will be UNNECESSARILY great as
the years roll on.

THE HUNT
FOR BANDS.

There is one sort of foreign invasion
that our preparedness enthusiasts and
foes of immigration have given little
attention. And yet il may prove to be
serious, when the war is over. 1t is
an invasion of unmarried women.
We are familiar with the titled
foreigner in search of an American
heiress, but this is something totally
different. And anybody who thinks
it's joke should read the very serious
book on the subject written by Nine
Marie Laparcerie, French author
How to Obtain Husband After the
War"
Obviously, there won't be enough
men left in Europe to 20 around when
the fighting is over. Millions of wo
men will be- left NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
they can find husbands in a land bet
ter stocked with males. The writer
assumes that most of her readers will
stay at home. The greater part of her
book is devoted TO instructinG them in
the fine art of feminine wooing TO pre-
pare the mfor the fiercer competition
they will find hereafter. But TO those
who are disposed TO emiRrate, she
frankly offers the advice that they
cross the Atlantic and marry rich
Americans.
What will American girls have tc
say TO that?

INTERFERING
WITH THE MAILS.

1t is principle of international law,
guaranteed by the Hague conventions.
that the mails are inviolable. Parcel
post matter Is, Of course. subject to
the same rules of contraband and
blockade that affect merchandise sent
In other forms. But there is no ques-
ton OF the sacredncss OF first class
mail matter.
Nevertheless Great Britain is flag
rantly breaking this law. For a while
she contented herself with delaying
and examining letters sent to other
countries via England. To escape that
unwarranted censorship our postoffice
authorities began routing letters in
tended for Holland or Scandinavia di-
rect to their destination. Now Great
Britain, in order to get her hands on
them. has taken to holding up neutral
liners at sea. She Is removing sacks
OF letters sent from one neutral coun.
try TO another, and taking them into
her own ports for examination and
censorship.
The immediate result Is irritating
delay. Even more irritating. however.
is the disregard of our own rights in.
volved in such unwarranted meddling.
Yet the American public refuses to
get excited about the matter And the
reason for its apathy is found, once
more. in the more serious malefactions
OF Germany. If the Teutonic powers
were scrupulously obeying internation-
al law. our people would doubtless be
in high state of indignation at Eng
lands aGgressions. But the people
don't seem to regard tampering with
neutral letters as very important in
comparison with sinking neutral ships
and destroying neutral lives.
The British offenses go unnoticed in
the contemplation OF such crimes as
the blowing up of the Sussex. an I'm.
armed Channel ferryboat, and the
Portugal. Russian hospital ship

and Red Cross nurses. One set of of.
