LLOYD GEORGE.

From the announcements which come from London to the effect that Lloyd George has been picked out @or the portfolio which was formerly held by Lord Kitchener, it becomes more and more apparent that he is regard- ed as one of the greatest men of the empire and the work. which he has been doing and the manner in which he has been doing it must be re- garded as the reason for it.
 Lloyd George has proved to >be a bulwark of strength to Great Britain during the past two years. He has shown himself to be a great organizer and manager in whatever line he un- dertakes and it is therefore not sur prising that the utmost confidence is placed in him in the handling of the serious problems which confront the empire. His resonrcefulness las been so fully demonstrated that it is but natural that his name should get first consideration when it comes to filling the vacancy created by the great Kitchener.
 It was Lloyd George who relieved Kitchener of great burden of re- sponsibility when during the early stages of the war it became appar- Glll llAdl IL WctS |411RQSS1D1Gt TOT one man to handle the task of organizing the army and looking after the supply of munitions. As minister of muni. tions he has stopped great handi. cap from which the country was sui fering. The business is so wei organized today that 1t can b, said to almost run itself, sC that when the suggestion fl made that he also retain that office i he becomes minister of war, 1t mus be realized that in both offices tht hardest part of the work has been ac. complished and that where one mar was unable to handle the duties at al earlier time, 1t is a far diNerent prob, lem today. Lloyd George has ths faculty of making success of what ever he undertakes and there can b. no serious opposition to his selection for the vacant post. He is provinl to be the man of the hour in most an. | crisis.

 Mr. Wilson has been a leader of his party. Tn most instances it has responded to the first crack of the whip. but 1t has responded and there has been put on trial a number of theories some of which have already been found to be in direct opposition to the interests of the country and so recognized by the advocates. There has been certain amount Of con- structive legislation but in other in stances there is a crying demand for the remedying of the mistakes which have been made. The country has undergone experiences, in spite Of the wave of prosperity as the result of the war which it cannot overlook or ADI6SL- It AAel5 441Q aAA C4 k1<1A A@tlAsC trtl4 a webbing foreign policy, regarding countries in both this and the eastern hemisphere and 1t understands at what a cost it has remained at peace.

Prosperity was thrust upon us when the democratic party efforts had shown inclinations In the other direction, while the ques- tien of preparedness, both as 10 na- tional defense and industrially, has been placed in much the same class as the pork barrel.

In it's report on the investigation of tlIe Bradford wreck the interstate e0nmerce commission places the blame upon the failure of the human clement in the operation of trains. It w t0 be gathered from the report that this and other wrecks which have oc- cured on the New Haven road in the Nnst five years should have been pre- vented and they would have been had employees obeyed signals and paid proper attention to the rules which arc made for just such a purpose.
 That this part which the employees nf the road were expected to play wac not performed is shown by the Eart that the flagman of the local train which has stopped at Bradford failed to fo as far back to warn the oncom- inE express as he should have or as he had time enough to do Had the ra man done his part fully the engine AfiFaf pf the express could have stop bed hIs tram in time but 1t is appar- eHr that this was but one of the MilufpH. for had the engineer of the second train obcyed the warning sig nal and slowed down he would have been able to have stopped his train when fhe red home signal or danger waa noticed and prevented a collision with the train ahead That these fail ur4a were directly responsible for the wreck cannot be doubted. and this rr1senls the problem of overcoming such faliibility, either through more competent men in such positions of responsibility or through an automatic train control which will supplement Ahe human agency.
 The commission very truly holds had nf~ -. steel construction there would have been less loss of life and a better chance to rescue those injured, but ihere is no reason to believe that il would have prevented the collision The time for doing that expired wher me nagman and engineer failed tc Mwa up to their responsfbilities.

ning of the Christian era Neapolis was the seaport of Philippi. whose ruins are to be found some ten miles from shore, on the Highway from Kay ala to Thessaly. Here the fleet of Brutus and Cassius was at anchor during the famous conflict on the fields of PhilipDi in A B. C., when the as- sassinators of Julius Caesar met de- feat at the hands of the legtong conn manded by Antony and Octav1us.
 'Philippi was named for Philip II of Macedonia, father of Alexander the GNeat, and was originally known as Crenides (Fountains). It owed it's importance to the proximity of the hill of Dionysius, where Philip had made himself master of valuable gold mines.
 Practically all that remains to con- meet ancient Neapolis with modern Kayala Is a Roman aqueduct whose two-tier arches still convey water from Mt Pangeus to the town and citadel"

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Vsnetia.-The territorial division of northern Italy, known as Venetia, which the Austrian offensive TOW threatens. is the subject of today's war geography bulletin issued by the National Geographic society from it's Washington headquarters. The bulle- tin gives the following data about this fertile region whose blossoming plains are dotted with numerous cities fam ous as centers of great historic inter- est and custodians of art and arehi- tectpral treasures of incalculable worth:
 sVenetia, whose eastern northern and western boundaries have been the fighting line of Austria and Italy since the latter nation entered the European struggle, is the rear boot strap of the Italian peninsula It Juts far up into head of the Adriatic sea,and is bound ed on the south by the Adriatic and the territorial division of Italy known as Emilia, of which Bologna is the principal city. The southwestern boundary is Lonnbardy, of which Milan is the metropolis. It has an area about equal to that of the state of Vermont, bat It's population Is ten times as great.
 Among the noted cities whose 1it- erary shriues, historic buildings and wonderful art galleries are endanger-

Some of khe pioneers to these west eFn lands grew discouraged after the great obstacles encountered, the fre- quent breaking up of their settlements and the manner in which they were harassed by the Pennamltes, so that they gave up and returned to their native Norwich. but the greater num- Der remained firm, sticking to their claims, and in due time they obtained quiet possession of the country.

 Fe1dspar is used in large quantities in both the body and the glaze Of pot tery and tile and In the manufacture of enameled ware Considerable feld- spar is used also in the manufacture of abrasive materials, particularly securing soaps. and feldspar of infer Tor grade is used in making ready roofing material and as chicken grits. Some feldsDars are potash bearing, and efforts have therefore been made to use them as a fertilizer, but thus far without commercial success Ef- forts to treat feldspars in order to make the potash in them more so1u- ble, or at least more readily available as plant food, give some promise of success, and small amounts have been so used during the last year most of the feldspar so treated having been added to so-caIled complete fertilizers.
 The production in 1915, according to Frank J. Katz, of the United States Geological Survey, amounted to 118,- T69 short tons, valued at $529, ,356, which, though a decrease of 16 per cent in quantity and a very slight do- crease in value as compared with 1914 is a much greater value than in for mer years The prices paid for feld- spar in 1915 were about the same as in recent preceding years, averaging about $S.50 per long ton for crude ma teriai of pottery grade and about Se.3s per short ton for ground material for pottery. Better grades of ground ma terial brougIlt $1o.b0 to $11 per short ton Maine ranked first in quantity and value of it's output, and all feld- spar shipped from the state was of high grade.
