SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

Under conditions which arc pre- vailing today It is impossible 10 check the enthusiasm with which the anui- versarv of the declaration of inde- pendence by This country promises to be celebrated this year. There fs no desire to block the expression Of pa- triotism or Co belittle the meaning Of the Fourth of July. but in view Of the serious results which have fol- lowed the reckless observance Of the day in the past, it IS entirely proper that the effort for sane and safe celebration should be continued un- abated There is need of urging ne- straint and consideration. the encour- aging of the right lSi1sd Of enthusiasm and the curtailment of that sort which is harmful and destructive Nothing is added to the nations great holiday by the rolling up of long list Of deaths. and injuries for tlse cel- ehratoEa and by increasing khe Hor- rows and sufferings of others.
 For that reason there are sensible suggestions which are made by the Safety First federation when t ad-. vises parents to guard against these results. It offers this advice:
 Do not buy dangerous fireworks.
 DO not allow children to have can- non of any kind.
 Under no circumstances allow small children to handle fireworks or explo- sives.
 Toy pistols, blank cartridges, large or dynamite fire crackers and torpedo canes are very dangerous and clail- dren should not be permitted to have them
 These are not matters which the children should be allowed to decide for themselves. but which mature judgment should recognize as call- Ing for the exercise Of parental re- sponsibilities, and there can be little question if they. are given the proper attention but what such precautions will prevent the too well known dis dressing situations which have i'd the past marked the day after.

The very fact that Lower Califor- nia. has refused to join with the rest of the Mexican republic in the sup- port of the stand which has been taken by General Carranza, and his advisers. at the head of the as facto gevernment, directs attention fo this mountainous peninsula which runs out into the Pacific from the southwest corner of this country
 There has beeh little or no activity there during the revolution which has upset Mexico for the past several years and if it holds to its present attitude 1t will be free from 1t in the future How it expects to set up a government of its own and go along independently remains to be seen, but if it is tired of the manner in which the rest of Mexico Is working agafnsl it's own welfare, 1t is not improbable that the time will come when it will become part of this country
 Such would not be as the result oi any policy of aggrandizemen upor the part of this government, for noth- ing of the kind exists. But it has often been declared that such would be valuable to this country for the purpose of increasing it's Paciflc coasi defenses, since therebn could be es- tablished a naval base which others have often looked upon with covetous eyes. Arizona is evenI anxious to Fhave a Pacific port which would b, possible by the extension Of it's bound. ary to the gulf and would serve 2 large section of inland territory whicf now has only rail facilities for keepins in touch with other states and the res of the world.
 Such ambitions. however, cannot bl expected to be satisfied by agaressIvl action against Mexico If tI3ey ar, going to be obtained they should com by purchase and not by conquest however easy that might be. Such section would offer an excellent op portunity for development but thii country has no thought of undertak ing any such move except that it b through buying the right. Otherwis our stand against conquest would fal flat.

 the Austrian trenches could be seen through a maze of barbed wire de- lenses.
 An officer pointed to the barbed wire and said: We are on such intimate relations with the Austrians that we and they use the same barbed wire protection. There isn't room to plant any more and their wires prevent them from getting at us, as well as keep ing us from getting at themn Tgaen, with dulled expression, he pointed to the bodies of soldiers lying in the open space, caught in the wires, fruit of at tacks and counter attacks.

CANNOT BE LEFT 10 DIE.

Contrary to expectations Sir Err nest Shackleton has returned from his second trip into the Antarctic. which was undertaken for the purpose of carrying relief to the party of 20 men who accompanied him on his polar expedition and who were left on Ele- phant island when he made his dash out of that region in a small boat, with the announcement that on ac- count of the ice it was impossible to get within a score of miles of them and that another and stauncher ves- sel would be required if they are go- ing to be rescued
 The distressing position in which these men are placed calls for the ex- ertion of every possible effort to reach them and to prevent their starvation, for it is known that they possessed none too adequate provisions for sus- taining life when they were left at that point to care for themselves. Such of course is only what must be antici- pated by everyone who goes into such desolate regions but in this case it Is known where they can be' found, lt is certain that they cannot rely up- on their stores for an indefinite stay and that the means of providing for their own sustenance is limited.
 It is even probable now that they are feeling the helplessness Of their position. They are acquainted to a certain extent with the fight which Is before them and probably under stand that they are participating in an endurance race which calls for the conservation of their stores and shor1 sations. but that does not lessen the duty of doing everything possible tc overcome that twenty miles which separated Shackletons from them or his recent rescue trip. Whatever is necessary in tho way of suitable ship. orr in the way of equipment fol going over the Ice even after tie shiI has gotten as far as it can possibly 90 with the winter season setting in Ihould be provided and provided a' once, There should be no thought o1 living ttup until every possible meth ld has been exhausted

 An idea of the situation along the Italian front is furnished by the com mander at zogora who says:

For a whole month last fall. when the mountain was mass of wet rock and mud when 1t was possible to get food up only by night, when the men could not be relieved, when to strike a light meant death from a sniper, when our trenches were but hastily constructed piles of stone felt by the AnstrianS as we pushed them foot by foot towards the mountain top. the men held on with amazing cneerfulness.

 Of course Germany is much aroused over the French airship raid on the city of Karlsruhe where out Of a to- tai of 110 people killed 75 of them were children and five women. That is enough to make the blood of any nation boil with Indignation and re- sentiment, even though it iss engaged in war with the perpetrators of such a deed, for civilized warfare does not justify such mirderous attacks upon defenseless civilians, whether they happen to be children, women or men. The nations Of the world have gotten together and laid down rules which are aimed at the prevention of just such atrocities. so that not only Ger many but every nation is bound to manifest it's adherence of such acts which recall the ferocity of barba- rians.
 But the reason for this cold blooded killing of innocents unquestionably lies in the fact that it is only what the nation upon which such a raid has been carried out has invited by it's own conduct. Frequent have been the dropping of bombs upon towns and cities in France and England where the defenseless have invariably been made to suffer the brunt of the attacks. France in its attack upon Karlsruhe was simply carrying out a policy of reprisal It gave Germany a taste of it's own medicine, harsh and unjustifed as it is. and 1t remains to be seen whether there will be any evidence in the future that they have proffted from fhe lesson. It is time that the people of all the nations in volved in the war rose up and de- manded that such methods be stop ped. They never should have been resorted to, and no nation can lay claim to any credit for the successful carrying out of any such cowaraIy acts even if they are committed in time of war. Those very acts of saw agery condemn themselves.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Czernowitz. in which the war news reading public has had little interest for many months, is again taking it's place in the headlines of the day, ow Austrian east front. The BulowiTa capital is the subject of todays war geography bulletin of the National Geographic Society, issued at WaxIa- ington, which says:
 With a population of nearly go. 900 Szernowitz, the most easterly city of importance in the Austro- Hungarian empire, lies only a. few miles west of the point where the boundary lines of the Austrian croWnland of BukoWina, the Kingdom of Roumania, and the Russian province of Bessarabia con- verge.s@ It is situated on an elevation overlooking the PrlIth River, which rises in the Carpathians and after a course of 300 Hiles enters the lower Danube near GAlatz. The PrutEa is navigable only as far as Jassy, which lis nearly two hundred miles below CzernoWitz.
 Czernowitz owes it's present day importance to the severance of the province Of BukoWfna from Turkey and it's incorporation as a part of Austria in 1775. Up to that time the town was an unimpcrtant village, but when crownland. which has an area about half as large as the state of New Jer- sey with al population of three quar- ters of a. million it's future was as- sured At the time of the outbreak of the present war it was a. thriving ern public buildings and was especi- ally notable for the number and varz- ety of it's ecclesiastical structures the Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic Ro-
