CAMPAIGN AGAINST AUTO MUIR.
 DERS,

Observation of the reports which tell of the daily loss of life through out the country show that the auto- mobile figures extensively therein. The demand for safety first has doubt less had it's good results, but 1t has not stopped the wiping out of hu- manity either by the railroads or by the motor driven vehicles. There is as great a demand for increased safe ty in one instance as the other, and when it is realized how fast the auto is increasing and how persistent is the disregard for the regulations which have been made to protect other users of the highways, as well as the occu- pants of cars which are being driven by reckless operators, it can be appre- ciated that there needs to be a cor responding increase in the vigilance
 thorities and the pedestrians to a like end.
 The reason for much of the viola tion of laws in this respect lies in the fact as pointed out by the Philadel-
 phia Ledger that Like very nearly
 every other law upon our statute books, the speed law is violated a score of times every day for every time a driver Is punished for an in- fraction of it. Running cars at thirty
 miles an hour in crowded streets | the speed of ordinary railroad trains -is upon it's face an open invitation | to disaster. Yet that speed is ex- | ceeded in Philadelphia hundreds ot | times every day. The typical joy rider is more of a menace to men
 women and children than almost any | disease that aff1icts mankind. Pedes. | trians should be taught to realize, too | that the auto is here to stay. It ha: | it's rights and they must not careless. | ly jeopardize their own lives. We | have campaigns to accomplish almos | everything else except a campaign tc | prevent the murdering of people by 1 automobiles. The hour has come fol | one to start"
 That this is a situation not peculial
 to Philadelphia cannot help being rec. | ognized by every community in tn; |

Stories of the War
Thrilling Adventure at verdun.

One of the thrilling adventures of the Nerdun fighting was the escape from capture or death of a young lieu tenant whose captive balloon was set adrift when a shell severed the steel cable connecting him with the earth. Though already mentioned in the ca ble deSpatches the complete story from the Paris Journal is interesting:
 "Y Yesterday afternoon a report ran through the French lines that a saul anxious eyes were directed toward the little speck which grew fainter and fainter in the disance as the southerly wind waited it toward the German po- started in the vain hope of rendering assistance, but everyone felt that the observer was doomed. Minutes pass ed. The balloon kept rising. Soldiers forgot to fire, the suspense was so terrible.
 Then suddenly a tiny gray specz
 was seen to part from the balloon, which shot up a thousand feet, but in stead of falling to earth the speck seemed to be pulled up sharp in mid air. At last, with the aid of glasses. observers saw that the speck was a
 human body suspended from a para chute. A mighty cheer rose as the
 truth was realized, but a full ten min-
 uteS of suspense lasted as the para
 chute with it's human freight slowly
 descended, and finally landed close to the French lines"
 The young lieutenant thus described his experience: The first intimation
 that something had gone wrong was when 1 felt a slight shock. I thought the telephone cable had parted. All at once I became aware that the other balloons were growing smaller, and grasped the fact that I was adrift A glance at my barometer told me was already 5000 feet up. tried to 1 pull the cord working the hydrogen automatic control, but it had become | tanned and refused to work. I tried tc ] climb to it, but failed. Then feared I was lost. My first | thought was to destroy my papers | then I thought of blowing out my | brains to avoid falling into the hands | of the Germans. Then, however, came | chute? I had to be quick, for I was
 now 11,000 feet up. The cord which was tied around my body was 65 fec ! lOEg, so I had to jump that distanct | into the void before the box contain | ing the parachute could open and sci ] it free.
 For a few seconds held on to the | car by my hands. Then l let go. must have dropped more than a. hun. | dred feet before the parachute un' | furled, and it was not an agreeable | sensation. But after that I did no | mind. I was able to look about me ! and felt the sensation of complete SC l curity. When I was about 2,5OO fee

bility has been taken from his shoul- ders and placed where 1t belongs by J. A. Chamberlain, secretary for In- dia, in a statement made before the house of commons. when he declared that the blame rests with General Sir John Nixon, who at the time of the advance upon Bagdad was in charge of the British forces.
 This has been long time coming but it is only just that the blame should rest where it belongs and not be chalked up to the discredit of an innocent party Though unable to get out of Kut-el-Amara General Town shend has been successfully repulsing the attacks of the enemy in the hopes that the relief expedition can break through the enemy's line but the en- tire campaign showed a lack of prep aration which has taught one of the big lessons of the war in that respect An army of invasion must so guard itself that 1t can go backward as well as forward, and all with some knowl- edge of the strength of the opposition and this precaution was apparently disregarded when the assault upon Bagdad was attempted.

A NEEDED REFORM.

Tn the state of Georgia the move ment against lynching promises to be- come a political issue in order to get the people of that state properly aroused. It is a question which can not but interest every southern state and in that connection it is interest ing to note that the southern socio- logical congress at it's session in New Orleans has come out strongly against such crime.
 Such activity has begun none too soon. In fact it has been delayed much longer than it should have been from the manner in which mob rule has been fourishing in that part of the country. Lynching should be abolished and there can be none too great an effort made in arousfng the people who are permitting it, either by participation, through failure to oppose it or failure to bring those guilty to the bar of justice. to a re- alization of their responsibility. If laws do not exist which will deal with such acts they should be enacted, and if they do exist they should be rigidly enforced unanimously backed by pub lie sentiment.
 Not only do lynchings get a certain amount of sanction but the practice is growing worse. It is getting SC that the approval of lynch law fo1 dealing with those who commit un- speakable crimes is being extended SC l that those who commit much lesser | offenses are taken out and strung UT | to a tree whether they are guilty ol | innocent

THE WRECK AT BRADFORD.

Another distressing accident has been Tadded to the list of those which have occurred on the New Haven road within the past few years, and there are features about this Bradford wreck which closely resemble those at Milford on Washington's birthday though steel cars in the latter case prevented the fire which added so much to the horror of this last col ision.
 From the investigations which are underway it is certain that the re- sponsibility will be fixed where it be- longs if such a thing is possible, but from the statements which have been given out it is apparent that the fault lies. between the towerman, the engi- neer of the Gilt Edge express and the signal system. Engineer Mansfield, whose record is excellent up to Mon day night, maintains that the distance signal showed clear and that the first warning he had was from the home signal, the fagman and the rear lights of the train ahead at a distance of 1900 feet which made it impossible for. him to bring his train to a stop. In eontradiction to his claim, which is supported by his fireman, the tower n1ah insists that the distance signal was'at caution and the home signal at danger and had this caution signal been observed the wreck would have been avoided. In this connection it is significant that those who are fa- miliar with the operation of the sig nals~elaim that if the red warning was displayed at the home signal the dis tance1 signal must have been at cau- tidn4 inasmuch as they operate that way Automatically. Thus the fact thatt the red warning was seen by the engineer would indicate that the cau- tfon.signal had been passed provided the-system was in proper working or der.
 Yet whatever was the actual cause of the wreck. it is impossible to over- look, the fact that the proper degree of safety does not exist and the New Haven officials must do even more than they have in the past to elimi. nate the trouble, whether it proves tC be human failure or faulty signals.

TEACHING BY MOVIES.

The moving pictures have been put to many good uses in an educational way. and such view must be taken of the plan, which has been put into effect by Fire Commissioner Adamson in New York, of teaching the people of that city, through the movies, how to send in a fire alarm.
 .- While the operation of sounding the fire, alarm is simple enough once a person has had it explained or dem- onstrated to him, it can nevertheless be appreciated that during the excite ment which accompanies the discov- cry or breaking out of a fire the per- son who runs to a fire alarm box, or in search of one, does not always show the coolheadedness and good judgment that4he would if he was in his normal condition and undertook the simple task of ringing a fire alarm.
 For that reason, and at the same time appreciating what a handicap is caused in fighting fires by the failure to properly operate the alarm, for SC many consider they have done all that Is necessary by unlocking the dool without pulling down the lever, New York's fire commissioner has conceived the idea of having a moving picture taken of person going through the actual work of sending in a fire alarm and throwing it on the screen in ths picture houses. It is of course likely that thousands might never have any occasion to make use of such instruc. tions, but it is nevertheless informa. ton which everyone should have il case it should be needed, and it car be understood that a moving picture demonstration is bound to make { lasting impression upon a large pro portion of the people of any commu nifty and become a valuable suppor
