Don't Gut Corners.

a man, woman or child walk
ing. should never attempt TO
cut corner on streets full of
automobiles. as the streets of
Holyoke are frequently. While
it may be true that Q person
walking has the right of way
over IA crossing as against an
automobile yet when the person
undertakes to cut corners or
cross the street at q point where
there is no street crossing, the
pedestrian is treading on dan.
gerous ground.
The placing of turning posts
ut the Intersection of some
streets as we now bave in Hol.
yoke has made the cutting of
corners more dangerous than il
was without the posts, for the
reason that the pedestrian nev-
er can tell. till dangerously late
whether the approaching car
will continue on down the street
in the direction it is moving or
swing around the post ia chang
ing to another direction. DO
not attempt TO cut the corners
when cars are approaching. II
is not safe to do so. The writ.
er had IN unplensantly close

 Washington, June 2s.-The action of Brazil in revoking its decree of neutrality does not necessarily mean that the great Latin-American repub- lie will become an active participant in the war. It is probable. however. that the Brazilian navy will co-oper- ate with that of the United States in protecting the coasts an6 shipping of South America. While not chased as a naval power. Brazil has g. large nurber of light craft, capable of rendering valuable aid in coast patrol work, and as submarine hunters.
 While 1t is doubted here that Bra- Ell will SO to the extent of sending an army to Europe, in course of time that nation could muster a very con- siderable fighting force. The peace strength of the Brazilian army Is 33.000 men. Brazil's reserves mum ber 617.0O0 men, giving a total war strength of 66O,ooo. The potential, unorsanized military strength of the country is listed at 4,3O1,643 men. :
 The expectation here is that Bra ztPs action will have a powerful ir-: AN0AV0 !O0 Otu0y 1&t1uekA110GlCAn countries, notably Argentina, her strong neighbor.
 The Brazilian congress late in May authorized Ahe srevocation of Brazirs neutrality. In notifying the country's envoys of this action Foreign Minis ter Pecanha wrote that Brazil had refrained from taking sides in the European conflict. but the republic could not remain indifference from the moment the United States found itself involved in struggle for tho rights Of the people and when Ger many meted out indiscriminately to Brazil tho most brutal treatment.
 ~ despatch from Rio Janeiro June said diplomatic exchanges with rep- resentatives of the Entente Powers were In progrsss and that practical results might be expected shortly. It was added that warships of the En- tente would be permitted to visit Bra zilian ports without adhering to time limits imposed by neutrality.
