The visitor from the United States
cannot fail to be impressed with the
absence OF flies in Havana. A ny Is a
real raTity-so Is mosduito-and
screens are not at all a necessity. The
absence Of these pests is simply the
result Of municipal cleanliness and care.
Illustrating the general understanding
of the necessity TO watch out for breed
ing sources. Mounted Officer Pedro
Sierra reported November 30 to the
chief OF sanitation that he had observed
a plant in the Vedado residential dis
tricD that apparently was a source OF
flies.
The plant has a fruit resembling a
az, in which, Sierra asserts. larvae are
to be found. He conducted some eX-
periments himself. becoming convinced
that the plant AFFORDED a breeding place
for the pests: then he 50 reported. II
the experiments OF the department OF
sanitation confirm him, undoubtedly an
order will be issued for the destruction
OF all such plants In and around Ha-
vana, and. incidentally Ofhcer Sierra
will be rewarded,
There is no need for "hy-swattinE
campaigns" around the clean capital OF
Cuba. The sanltarians make flies an
impossibility and confirm absolutely the
doctrine that municipal cleanliness Will

ONLY SENATORS DISSENT

Germany has made a clean breast
Of it. Her submarines in the Medi-
terranean may continue to torpedo
without warning merchant ships
and to slaughter without a chance
for their lives unarmed and defense
less passengers and crews; but none
Of it will be done under the plea
that Submarines have a right to
make such attacks or that non-com-
batants have no right to be in mer-
chant ships that are torpedoed.
The German government will de-
nounce the acts, the German gov
eminent will punish the submarine
commander guilty of them, the Ger
man government will make full
PREPARATION. Furthermore, the Ger
man government agrees-in the
Frye settlement-with the United
States Government that non-com-
blatant passengers and crews in an
American ship sunk for carrying
contraband must not be murdered in
directly by putting them into small
boats in rough seas or too far from
land to have a reasonable expecta-
ton of reaching it.
And Austria, too, has assented to
the American declaration of prin-
Ciples that non-combatant and de-
fenseless passengers and crews must
not be wantonly killed in an enemy
ship that is not resisting or attempt
ing to escape a submarine.
All are. agreed, then, upon what
American rights are under the rules
of civilized warfare, except those
half-dozen members of the United
States Senate who have been below
ing against the right of our citizens
to travel in the merchant ships of
a belligerent. They, with their re-
solve to give away American rights
and sully American honor, dissent.
What do the American people think ?

TnR JRwlsn RHLIHF MovEMRNr

There are some peculiar and es-
pecial reasons why the whole Ameri-
can nation should seize the oppor-
tunity to unite in helping the war
suffering Jews Of Europe. The jew
ish people have not only done a
wonderful share in developing
America as it is; they have not only
contributed alike Of substance and Of
ideals; but they have taught the
American people a lesson in indie
pendence and self-respect that would
be we'll worth more attention than
Il gets.
The Jews take care Of their own.
They do not ask, in ordinary condi-
tions, for aid from the outside. Mr..
Simon Wolf observes that it is the
first time in fifty-four years he has
known an appeal to be made, in
Jewish behalf, to the general public.
This time the demand is such that
appeal must be made, as it was in
the case Of Belgium, to the charity
of a world; and the American nation
is, fittingly, the one to which chief
appeal is directed.
The Jews are wonderfully efficient
in all their welfare and charity
work; leaders in the general com
munity, and always setting up, in
dealing with the needs of their own
people, model of effective methods
for the community to contemplate.
They deserve to have repaid to them,
now, in kind, that which they have
so long done for the rest of the pub
lie in these regards.
When the great mass meeting
takes place in Washington, January
20, to make the local appeal, as sim
liar appeals will be made in other
American cities, it is sincerely to be
hoped that Washington may take a
prominent place in the response it
shall make. This town ought to be
a leader in such good works.

ARABIA HAD ALMANAC

The first almanacs-that Is to say,
the first historical-were of Arabian
origin. and reflected the local genius
OF the people in very striking way.
They served as models in other coun-
tries for hundreds of years. says the
Christian Herald Almanac
The oldest known copy of such
work is preserved in the British MuJ
scum and dates back to the times OF
Rameses the Great Of Egypt. who lived
200 wears before the birth of Christ.

and covers a period of six years. The
entries relate to religious ceremonies.

the saints and other religious informa-
ton.
Tho Baltic nations, who were not
versed in papyrus making, had calen-
darR engraved In aN-helves, walking

broad mark for Sunday and the saints
days were symbolized I'm various de-
vices, such as a harp for st. Davids.
a gridTon for st. Lawrence's. a lovers
knot for st. Valentines, and so on. The
saxon almanacs are numerous and con-
tain historical as well as ecclesiastical
entries.
II is possible to trace in these curious
records all the changes of popular be-
lief and taste. They were prepared to
meet the current demand and to con-
stitute a systematic story OF what took
place In successive periods and how
knowledge increased with the revolving
vcars. We owe to them most that we

AN ESTIMATE OF KITCHENER
British See In Him An EDitOme Of
Their Own hReed.

British See In Him An EDitOme Of
Their Own HFeeI.
The British race sees in Kitchener an
epitome Of their own blood and breed,
asserts London Opinion. The British
character is built OF the hard stun that
stands the blows Of adversely and mis-
fortune. 1t sticks and sticks and sticks
until Il comes out on top. That Is
Kitchener. He may lack imagination.
He may be unable TO deliver glowing
speeches: He may be quite Incapable
OF explaining himself or defending him
self. He may make mistakes But the
British race trusts him because his
character is British through and
through.
He has never hattered He has never
blithered about a short war or an early
victory Instead OF talking he has
toiled. Whatever he has set his hand to
he has done. other men vacillate be-
tween optimism and pessimism,. Kiteh-
ener marches grimly forward, with no
bugles, no drums. no flowers, And the
people watch the squsbbles Of lesser
men with their eyes fixed on the big
man in the background, with his fear
less glance and his terrible silence.

EVEN OUR SMALL ARMY AND
NAVY NOT READY

In his letter to the American De-
Tense Society, Charles ]. Bonaparte,
Secretary of Navy and later Attor-
ney General under President Roose-
welt, attacks the delaying of pre-
paredness by the Wilson Admins
tratiOn, which still broods over plans
for the future and ignores the cry
ing needs of the immediate present.
Mr.. Bonaparte says:
Impress Congress and the Admin
istraton with the obvious but con-
stantly overlooked or wilifully sup
pressed fact that the preparedness
we most clearly need at this moment
which may possibly (though not
probably arise before the end of
the present Administration. and is
very likely. indeed, to arise during
tho next Presidential term,
1t may be all very well to plan
Tor great increase in our army
and navy in eight or ten wears hut
what we imperatively need at this
moment IL great Increase OF mill
or twenty months.
Can any one observant of current
events deny the grave danger of this
country being forced into war, not
ten years from now, but within
months or even weeks? But the
ships which we have still are not
properly manned ana many vessels
are in reserve because of lack of
crews. The dearth of men in the
artillery which we have still leaves
coast battery guns worth $45, zoo, 900
in the hands of caretakers. Still we
have ammunition only sufficient for
a few hours of warfare. Our in
fantry is not yet recruited up to full
complement, and cavalry and field
artillery are shy horses as we'll as
men. Our navy yards, arsenals, and
Government properties remain in
adequately guarded because there
are no men to spare from the limited
forces scattered over our wide area.
