In MemOriam.
Mrs. Lila MCGOWAN Davis.
Born July 5, 1873.
Died August 81, 1916.

Died August 81, 1916.
Lovely in life, beautiful in death.
She was a devoted wife and mother.
and a true neighbor in every sense
CT the. word, and an earnest and con-
scientious Christian lady, that never
tired in doing for the welfare and
uplift of humanity. She had not
known for several years what it WIS
to be real we'll, but that did not
6swpen her ardor, or mitigate her
love for the upbuilding of Christ's
kingdom. Why she was transferred
to the arms of Jesus, by his gracs
sometime We will understand.
She is not dead but sleepeth,
Oh what comfort to know,
That she whom we loved so fondlT
Has passed from all sorrow below.
She is not dead but sleepeth,
In dreamless and perfect repose,
Free from earth's trials and its
SORROW,
Disturbed not by it's sadness nor
woes.
Guarded and kept by the Savior
Victory DER cath and the grave,
We know that she is sweetly
sleeping
In Jesus the Strong to save.
She is not dead but sleepeth,
What Joy there will be at the dawn,
When night and the darkness are
over.
When we wake on that beautiful
morn,
We also shall join in the anthem,
And hear that sweet voicel once
more,
Singing the praises of Jesus
There on that beautiful shore.
By One Who Loved Her.

man influence, and if reports are true 1t has not as yet escaped from that predicament, but when it comes to pulling away from the allies there doesn't appear to be the ghost of a chance, especially in view of the fact that the new premier makes public the fact, which has long been sus- pected, that Russia has been promised Constantinople and the Dardanelles as compensation for its part in the war. Russia has long been looking for an open port all the year round fully un- der its own control. That 1t has Rot got but that it will have if everything goes as it expects. But only by ad
 herring to the cause of the allies can 1t expect to secure it. The central powers have been materially assisted by the part which Turkey has played in .he war and by the advantages wl..ch the position of that country has given them. It could not therefore with any degree of fairness expect to be able to make the same offer to Rus sia regarding Constantinople and the Dardanelles, which has been made by the entente powers. Such would sim ply-mean the extinction of the Turk and a deal of that kind would only result in the extermination of a friend in need to win a friend in the cause of expediency. Russia there fore has every reason to stick to its task until the end even though it ap- pears to be growing bigger every day.

CALLS FOR RIGID INVESTIGATION

Many lives have been endangered and much property threatened and lost since the opening of the war by the practice which has been followed of placing bombs in the cargoes of vessels destined for the nations of Europe which are in the entente group. There has been uncovered re- peated instances of the plots which have been made towards this very end, and now comes the statement in connection with the greatest of them all the blowing up of steamships, warehouses and docking property at Archangel, whereby millions were lost in property and an unknown num- Der of people were killed for the pur- pose of covering up the traces of thefts which had taken place on the wharves in New York.
 This reveals an astounding situation in regard to this practice of bombing cargoes while they are being placed aboard ship in a neutral country. It runs contrary to the claim that the Archange1 catastrophe was due to the German submarines, but 1t neverthe- less calls for the most rigid investi- gation on the part of the New York and federal authorities to determine whether the statement of the com mercial agent of the Russian govern ment is actually founded upon fact If it is rigid steps cannot be taken too soon to see that an end is put to such plotting in this country once and for all and due punishment meted out to the guilty party or parties.s

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

craiova, (aIso spelled Krajova) which has fallen before the Austro- German forces invading Rumania by way of the Jiul valley, through the Vulcan Pass, is the subject of the following war geography bulletin is- sued by the National Geographic So- ciety:
 '"The fall of Craiova is a severe blow to Runania, for, in addition to being an important railway center, it is the headquarters of the First Army Corps, the seat of a military academy, and of great importance is the fact that here is located an imense tannery which supplies the Rumanian army with it's leather.
 "The country surrounding Craiova is not excelled in fertility anywhere in the kingdom. The town is in the cen ter of the W'allachian wheat lands and the truck gardens of the region are highly productive, while the forests which cIothe the adjacent uplands make it an important timber depot. A branch railway conveys these products to the Danube at Calafat, some 50 miles to the southwest in an airline. The Jiul River, which rises in the Car pathians beyond the Rumanian border, flowing south and entering the Danube opposite the Bulgarian town of Ra- hova after a course of 200 miles, pass es mile or two to the west of Graf
 ova.
 While trade in cereals, leather, and
 lumber is the chief occupation of the Craiovans in peace times, there are several large rope and carriage fac
 tories located here. and the salt mines of the vicinity are profitably worked The town has shown a steady growth for the last quarter of a century until now, with 1000 inhabitants, it is the sixth city of the nation. It is 112 miles west of Bucharest, 40 miles l north of the Danube at Rahova, and is the most important station on the
 railway line of 23! miles between the Hungarian border town of Verciorova (beyond the Iron Gates) and the Ru- manian capital
 "Craiova was the Castra Nova of | the Romans during their occupation of Dacia, and in the middle ages the place played an important role. Ii was here that the Wallachian prince | Mircea the Old defeated the Turkish sultan Bayezid I, In 1897. Two hun | dred years later the most famous ot Wallachia's chieftains, Michael the Brave, held sway here as ban or gov ernor, afterwards becoming prince not only of Wallachia but of Atoldayia and | Pennsylvania as well, thus for , | brief period uniting under one ruler the whole Rumanian people, the end
 for which modern Rurnania is fighting | today.
 '"The leu. which Is the stansArd ot value in Rumania, was first coined in Craioya. It derives its name from the ! figure of a lion stamped on the early | coins Its value is equal to that o1 the French franc (nineteen cents and ! a fraction).
 | "Craiova was for centuries the cap-
 ital of Little Wallactia, that division of the country lying between the Alt | (Aluta) River and the Hungarian and Serbian boundaries to the west"

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

As has been the cause for much fa1. vorable comment, and the incentive for a much wider reading, brevity again features the address of Presi- dent Wilson to the second session of the sixty-fourth congress. He has not dealt with the problems which are confronting the various departments of the government and he has not at- tempted to give digest of the de- partmental reports and recommenda- tions- He, has centered his thought and called the attention oe congress to the legislation which he recom- mended at the last session. which was intended to supplement the Adamson eight hour bill concerning railroads engaged in interstate traffic, but upon which action was postponed.
 He now renews his recommenda- tons and impresses upon congress the need of action along that line, and he lays emphasis upon the proposition to amend the federal statute concerning the mediation, conciliation and arbi- tration of labor disputes so that there shall be full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute be- fore a strike or lockout may be law fully attempted. This is intended to supplant force with reason in the early stages of industrial controver- sies. It is for the purpose of getting at the facts and preventing the great waste and the large amount of mis- understanding which always prevails.
 The president calls attention to the advisability of increasing the size of the interstate commerce commission that it may better handle the business before it, and he hints at even larger responsibilities which may be placed upon that board in the future, and he { directs special attention to the advis- ability of greater freedom of conbi- nation for the extension of foreign trade, which is covered in the Webb bill. the need of amending the present organic law of Porto Rico and the bill for a more thorough and sys- tematic regulation of expenditures of money in elections. These are all matters of importance under existing conditions, and in connection with the regular business which congress must handle promise to keep both houses busy during the entire three months of the short session.

VIOLATING THE ARMS EMBARGO.

In view of the success which Villa has been having against the troops of the de facto government not little curiosity has been aroused as to where he obtained his supply of arms and ammunition, for he appears to be pret- ty we'll provided with the munitions of war, and if reports are true he may have been in possession of a better supply of fighting material during his assault upon Chihuahua than was the army under General Trevino.
 This raises the quandary as to whether he Is receiving help of this kind from this country in violation of the arms embargo established by this government. If there has been a leak it has not been disclosed and If there are interests in this country which are giving him the necessary backing they have not been discov- cred.
 The suspicion that his operations are being bolstered up by aid from this country gets a new impetus from the arrest of exporters in New York, charged with sending arms to Mexico under false manifests. These it would appear were destined for Carranza since they were sent to Vera Cruz, but if they are going to one side in the Mexican trouble it is entirely pos sible that they are going to the other by some method.
 The embargo Is for the purpose of preventing such shipments to either side and if there are violations of it they need to be promptly checked and those responsible punished. for it must be remembered that as long as the United States troops are <in that republic and as long as the danger of border raids exists there is no telling when such rifles and ammunition will be turned against our, own men or our own people.

WHAT POSSESSION OF RUMANlA
 MEANS.

With the Teutons drawing closer to Bucharest, in spite of the strengthen Ing of the Rumanians by the arrival of French guns and the reinforce ments from Russia, whatever hopes there have been of saving the Ruman- ain capital must be fast dwindling. Evidence of 1t is furnished by the re- moval of the government seat to Jassy near the Russian line. and the prep arations which the Teutons are nak- Ing to put that country under military rule.
 The fall of this city will not mean 2 decisive victory but it will mean a decided advantage for the invaders. They will obtain millions of cattle, hogs and sheep. They will come into possession of supplies of great value under the existing conditions in the central powers. They will get the ben eft of the petroleum fields of that country which are by no means of secondary importance, but over and above all that they will strengthen their position in the Balkans.
 As it is now there is but a narrow strip of land which they possess for the defense of the Berlin to Constan- tinople railroad. With the acquisi- ton of Bucharest they remove that portion of Rumania which sets in be- tween Hungary and Bulgaria, get the use of several other lines of railroads and have @ clear sweep of territory where they now have a narrow neck of land.
 The conquest of Rumania therefore means the lengthening of the struggle, it means much more territory which the allies must reconquer in addition to that which they already have, yet it is going to mean the accomplish ment of Herculean task if they can prevent the Teutons from accomplish ing their purpose.
