ception that the kingdom of Poland as
planned by Russia would include Ger
man and Austrian Poland, as well as
the Russian province, but it cannot be
expected that Germany would be will
ing to sacrifice Prussian Poland. how
ever much it might be willing to use
Russian and Austrian territory in such
a plan.
The question which must be decided
by the Polish people, who have long
been looking forward to the day when
they would regain something Of their
former greatness. is which of these
two countries is mostly likely to carry
out its promises. In either case it will
all depend upon the outcome of the
war, It will be the side that wins
which can make good and just at the
present time with its unlimited re-
sources, it's great number of men well
organized and equipped and the sue
cess which is attending it's efforts
the balance favors Russia, and when
Germany's promises to Belgium are
considered Poland will have as good if
not better grounds for relying upon
Russian promises.

its Washington headquarters:
The shipbuiIding yards of MoIfetta
were probably the chief targets of the
Austrian navy during the recent bonn
bardnlent While the town presents a
striking appearance from the sea, its
walls, studded with towers, are of a
former age, when such defenses were

Of freebo9ters and adventurers.
with a population Of more than
10000, Molfetta is one of the thriving
commercial Center5 of the southeastern
coast of Italy. In addition to its trade
as q sea port, the city has numerous
manufacturing establishments, pro-
ducing flour, soaps, wines, bricks and
verniCeHi. Sixteen miles by rail to
the southeast is the important town Of
Bari (the Barium of the ancients).
Evidences of a neoIithic settlement
have been found in the vicinity of
MOIfGtta, but the origin Of the present
town is uncertain. It began to figure
in European history during the six
teenth century, when Charles V be-
slowed it upon the Duke of Ternoli
No sooner had it passed into the pos
session of its new master than the ill
starred marshal of France, Odet de
Folk LautreC, descended upon it and
sacked it in the prosecution of his
campaign against the kingdom of Ma
pies. LautTeC, though a gallant sol
der, owed his advancement in. the
service of the French king, Francis l.
not tC his prOWess in arms, but to the
fact that the charms of his sister,
FRANCHISE de Chateauoriant, had fas-
ciuated his sovereign. He died in Italy

his army shortly after the sacking of
N1Olfetta.
''lToIfetta was one of the cities of
southern Italy in which serious dis
turbances occurred in May, 1898, when
there was a sudden increase in the
price of bread.
"The most picturesque building in
the medieval section of 1Iolfetta, is the
cathedral which like the cathedral in
the neighboring Bari has the unusual
feature of two towers, both attached
to the east end. These Companies are
of plain masonry, the stories being
suggested by blind arches and win
dows.

TIME TO PUSH HARD.

1t is to be expected that the rail-
road employees and the railroad mana
gers hold different opinions in regard
to the existing situation. They are
looking at the matter from an entirely
different angle but when one of the
labor leaders declares that the presi-
dent is driving us hard" it must be
realized that such a remark at this
time might have been expected Of the
managers rather than from a repre-
sentative Of the brOtherhoods, for thus
far it is the former who are being
asked to make the greater concession
The president at this time stands as
the representative of the people. He
is looking after the interests Of the
nation and as the New York Post per-
tinently remarks: I'VE cannot at this
juncture drive too hard at men who
question the truth that the common
wealth is greater than any class or
interest. It is all very fine to speak
Of the hundreds Of thousands of rail-
way employees, but what of the mil
lions whose means Of support and
health and perhaps life a general strike
would take away? We cannot have
such topsyturvydom in this country
Any group of men, whether they call
themselves capitalists or Iaborers, who
attempt to bring it about, will be
rudely put in their proper place by
the American democracy"
1t is the interests of the people that
are too often disregarded. Selfish in
terests are allowed to shut out a sane
consideration of the general welfare
and the effects of threatened trouble
and the time is ripe when all parties
to the railroad dispute should be
pushed hard for a fair and sensible
adjustment Of their differences.

Mr.. Editor: What are the duties Of
a cashier or clerk in q gas and cleo
trio Officer It would seem that the
duties are to be polite and courteous
to people who call to pay bills or who
call on the telephone to make in
quiries.
A public Office IS a public trust, and
when a man assumes an office where
he is continually meeting the public
it is his business TO give them the
service which they are entitled to, or,
if he is not satisfied, then he should
resign his office. If a man is in an
office to attend to Office duties, he
should attend to them, and not attend
to outside duties over which he has
no control and which he should keep
out Of and that will enable him to
give better service to the public in the
duties which he is expected to per-
form.
1t is a good man in this world who
takes care Of his own business and
does so successfully, and docs not
criticise his associates or superiors,
and ny so doing he will not be Great

RESULT OF ABUSE.

When the state department an
nounces that there will be no more
paroles for the crews of the interned
German auxiliary cruisers it can be
understood that the decision has been
forced.
Inasmuch as these vessels came into
Norfolk for protection it was natur-
ally expected that there would be
proper respect for the regulations
which every nation has agreed should
govern under such circumstances. Re
lying upon the pledges Of the COM
mandeEs of those vessels many cour-
tesies were extended to the crews Of
those vessels. They were paroIed and
permitted their freedom instead of be-
sng forced to remain aboard their ships
nd they have since been enjoying the
privileges which go with such liberties,
but when it is disclosed that advantage
has been taken Of such opportunities
and lack Of respect shown for their
pledges it is time to call q halt
When it has been proved that pa
rolled men have taken advantage Of
their internment and have gone back
to their country, and this is admitted
by the German embassy, it is impos-
sible to accept any such plea. as that
put forward LnaL SuIlCIenL instructions
were not given to their men by the
commanders Of the vessels. That is a
poor excuse. Whether there was this
lack Of instruction or not, the parole
has been violated and the way to pre-
vent any further disregard for It is
to terminate such privileges entirely.
1t was only a short time ago that
France required an aviator who had
violated his parole to return to the
city from which he escaped. It re-
mains to be seen whether Germany
will assume this obligation

IN uNREsERVEn REBukE.

It was a peculiar and distressing sit
uation which was faced by that party
of Canadian nurses who were forced to
leave the train at the border and re-
turn to their homes because their en-
trance into this country conficted with
the immigration law. They had re-
sponded to the appeal to render assist
ance in this country in the care of the
infantiIe paralysis cases. They were
on an errand of mercy and not en-
deavUring to avoid the immigration
laws. It means no little sacrifice for
them to leave their homes and go into
another country for the purpose of
fighting disease, but it was a gruff re-
Duke which they received at the Dor
der even before they had a chance to
begin their work.
1t appears that due consideration
was not given by those who were
seeking the help of the Canadian
nurses to see that just such an OBJ
staCIe as was placed in their path was
removed. The mistake that was made
has been recognized by the govern
ment authorities. The red tape has
been cut according to the announce
ment which is now made that the
thirty nurses which the New York
health department had secured across
the border will be permitted to enter
There was no thought of violating
the alien contract clause. There is a
serious emergency confronting the
health authorities Of New York and it
was for the purpose of helping the
situation that aid from Canada was
sought and there was no more reason
for stopping their entry than there
would be to hold up Red Cross assist
ance for the same reason.

EVERYTHING IN sUPERLArIvEs.

EVERYTHING IN SUPERLATIVEs.
After the stories of the unprecedent-
ed use Of explosives by both sides in
the European war, there can be little
wonder that the cost of conducting the
fight is going beyond all limits ever
reached before. When it is announced
that during the battle of the Somme
there were periods when shells were
thrown by the allies alone which
averaged a million in "a hours, it can
be appreciated that it takes money to
make provision for such tremendous
supplies, to say nothing of the enor-
nous outlay for guns and powder with
which to fire them. This all requires
extensive preparations industrially It
is not possible to turn out such in
struments of death in a minute or to
keep up the supply which is needed to
carry on such attacks without having
large numbers engaged in the work
for it is apparent that they can be
used much faster than they can be
manufactured once such fighting is
started unless properly organized.
But it is to be remembered that it
is not alone on the Sonme front that
the artillery action is being constant
" carried on. Every days report shows
that COMPARTMENTS are underway
most Of the time during the day and
night which means that those who are
in charge of the work of keeping up
with the demands for shells are en-
gagged in q task which will permit Of
no tagging. Thus it can be appreciated
as has been frequently urged by Lloyd
George to the British that all the ser
vice to be rendered during a war is
NJ,
and If victory is going to be obtained
there can be no consideration of ex-
Dense. And with the amount of explo-
siVes used there can be no surprise at
the large list of casualties or the enor-
nous cost of the war. It is a time
when everything is carried on in su-
perIatives.
