that it may be necessary to heed. 1t

ural History museum, in its incon-

portion to the saving. The saving
resulting from the closing of this
museum and the British museum to-
gcther is placed at el5,0OO, that is,
about twenty-five thousand Yankee
dollars. The yearly attendance at
the British museum exceeds one mil
lion, and that Of the Natural His
tory museum is almost five hundred
thousand. 1t is remarked that the
museums and galleries have been
great show places for wounded Brit
ish soldiers, and especially for Aus
tralians, Canadians and New Zea-
landers who are seeing London for
the first time, Sir Henry Howorth,
a trustee of the British museum,
says: '"The government can do moth.
ing worse than create a feeling Of de-
preston. Think Of the thousands of
anxious women who must find COM
fort and consolation in visiting these
places of the thousands of ]colonials
who are visiting London for the first
and probably the only time. For
maintaining that equipoise of mind
that is our greatest asset in the world
war, London's treasure houses are
doing incalculable good"

DIR. y. +. BAHNSEN.

The press of Georgia has had many
kind things to say concerning DR.. Pc
ter F. Bahnsen, of this county, and
much in praise of his work connected
with tick eradication. The following
editorial is from the Macon Telegraph:
That Peter Bahnsen cannot be re-
moved from the office of state veter-
marian merely because j. ]. Brown
happened to beat J. D. Price for COM
missioner of agriculture, is matter
upon which Georgia may congratulate
herself. 1t means the necessary work
of eradicating the cattle tick will go
OH in the state as usual, despite the
Watsonspurred efforts to allow the
careless and ignorant farmer to let
tile ticks eat up his own cattle and en-
danger those of his neighbors While
J. j. Brown, it is understood, stands
for tick eradication, even to compul,
sorry dipping, as a speech in the Tenth
district during the campaign would
seem to indicate, it is almost certain
that as a sop to Watson, his guide,
philosopher-friend and voice at his
elbow; he would have removed Balm
sen from office, because Watson some
time since took one of his erratic and
unexplainable dislikes to Bahnsen.
Maybe it was he just doesn't like the
doctors name, which would be suffi-
cient cause for Watson to urge his re-
moval.
At any rate Bahnsen his his job and
the state has a competent man on the
job. A good many people don't like
him, but then that seems mostly per-
sonal, and, besides, he hasn't a job that
makes for working up any great per
sonal popularity for the holder of it
A man who is charged with such things
as livestock quarantine, compulsory
dipping and other severe treatments
for disease in stock barns may be
greatly respected, but he isn't going tC
be liked. He has done his work vel
as far as can humanity be known.
despicable fight has been made on hin
and now he is found to be immune
from removal as long as he does hi,
work it is to be hoped he will sticE
right on the job-at least until the cat
tie tick is done for in Georgia

THE GREAT PERIL.

There has been a depressing calm
Oft the Atlantic coast since last Sunday
depressing, because it is not known
where the U-53 has wandered, for she
may be lurking on the ocean lanes, or
returned to some convenient base, only
aW aiting some course of time to send
her death-dealing work.
Unhonored and unsung, the U-53 in
the command of her brave young cap
tain, Hans Rose, came into Newport, R.
1, a short while after noon Saturday,
aud after cordially receiving a number
of people, she departed as quickly as
she came. The news managed to edge
itself in among the score by innings
of the first game of the world series
last Saturday, and with all America
intent on the series, the U-53 in her
stroke of ocean paralysis took the
front pages.
1t seems that her operations were
legal; within the bounds of interna-
tional law, so far as has yet been an
,,o,rnod rTbot - a NOV lyaapo tho
skirts of America cleared for awhile
But, should the operations of that and
other u-boats continue within hear
inf distance of the Atlantic seaboard, it
opens a serious problem which has
very darkening results as it's impend-
ing outcome
America cannot afford to take too
much. She has already been severely
lambasted at times, but somehow or
other managed to regain her feet-and
came up smiling, with beg your
pardon" That is all right as long as
other qualities beget supremacy, but
we need to read firmly and steady,
without a waver-and be prepared to
back what we say, and say seme-
thing.
