To do great things man must live

TO live is to change, and to be per-

The secret of power in any occu-

your strength; fulfill it, whether blest |
by love or visited by hate; whether
strengthened by association with 9th

The proposed curfew law for Ben

lage meeting tomorrow at one O'Clock
and curious situation in regard to
the matter is developing. For the
past few months there have been an
astonishing number of offences com.
mitted by children in this village.
The number of children arrested Is
now around thirty, Several have been
sent to the state industrial school and
several more are likely to go in the
near future. Under the circumstances
people interested in the welfare of the
children thought it might be good
thing to try the curfew and send the
children home at reasonably early
hour. During the past 4S hours a
strange thing has happened, The cur
few doesn't appear to be business
proposition yet there appear to be paid
workers out trying to beat the curfew.
The very fact that such an effort is
being made, for some unknown reason,
should put the voters on guard and
there ought to be a big turnout of
voters at one O'Clock tomorrow.

The Germans appear to have found
out that they cannot break through the
intrenched front at Verdun. 1t Is the
seventh effort of the kind during the
present war that has failed. The Ger
mans tried it at Ypres, the English at
Neuve Chapelle and again at Loos
The French tried it at Champagne and
in the Argonne. The Russians tried it
early in the winter at Czernowitz and
along the Stripa. In every one of
these seven big efforts the attacking
forces gained some distance, but the
cost Of the gains was so great that the
movement failed. Each great expendi-
ture of force weakens both belligerents
and in spite of their claims to the
contrary, all the powers at war are
much weaker than they were u year
ago. All of them are dangerously near

The sinking of the Dutch steamer
Tubantia is likely to cause more
trouble than any other incident of the
kind since the war opened for the
reason that she was sunk on a neu-
trail coast outside the so-called war
zone. The English say that of course
the Tubantia was sunk by a German
submarine. The Germans say they
didn't even have submarine in that
vicinity and therefore that the English
must have sunk the Tubantia. The
Dutch having heretofore caught both
the Germans and British lying are in
doubt what to believe, but they are
made clear through. The Tubantia
was their newest and finest merchant
ship and If they do find out who sent
her to the bottom there is likely to be
trouble.
