As 70 Proner Behavior.

"StreetS and sidewalks are public
property. Citizens have the right TO
walk on them. whether they wear
skirts, pantaloons or bathing suits. as
long as their behavior is proper. There
is no ordinance specifying the amount
of clothing person shall wear in
the street" is the wisdom quoted from
the lips of Judge Howard Hayes when
passing upon the arrest of a young
woman VINO promenaded In her bath
ing suit We agree with the judge
The question is one of behavior. But
il Is fair to ask whether promeuudins

European Water TRANSPORTATION

Water transportation In Europe Is
more expensive than rail transporta-
ton. For 1905. for instance. the wa
terways of Prussia showed deficit Of
1882 a mile. while the railways yield
ed net profit of $1,S14 for every mile.
The Prussian government, consequent
ly, uses the railroad profits to offset
the waterway deficit.
None of the canals of Europe and
but few Of the rivers serve economi-
cally as carriers of traffic.

CONTINENT AGAINST

The growing feeling against the Ger
man afaat aud ashore because Of the
Berlin governments wilful disregard Of
humpn rights wherever those rights
came into conflict with its plan for
world power, has been most marked
since the breaking off Of diplomatic re-
Iafions between the United States and
Germany. Spain is now the only eonn-
try left In the world, other Nhan those
little nations over-awed by the proxim-
ity to the German war machine, that
retains even an outward semblanee of
ffiendship for the Kaiserbund.
This is the more remarkable when Il
Is remembered that for many wears Ger
many has been striving with might and
main TO build up her strength in the
South American republics, that she has
been bending every effort toward In
ereaeing her trade with Brazil, Chile,
Peru and the Argentine Republics, and
that In all Of those countries there are
large German colonies which have been
fostercd by the Kaiser In all possible
ways.
Dispatches Of late from Brazil and
Peru, as well as from Argentine, indi-
cate that there is In those nations q
strong feeling that the principles Of
democracy upon which their govern
menis are founded, are menaeed by the
German oligareby, and that the Allies
are and have been from the first fight
ing the fight of freedom as against the
monnrchiai idea for which Germany
and her Allies, Turkey and Austria
stand.

PLAN MACHINE GUN CORPS

TOXIC, April Although The use Of
machine guns has been adopted in the
Japanese army since the close of the
Russo-Japanese war in 1905, thcre ex-
lists at present no special machine gun
corps. The Japanese authorities hav-
ing recognized the Importance of spe.
eisl corps for machine guns have de-
eided TO organize nine such corps, to
be attached to each army division, a
corps being provided with eight guns.
Compared with the systems of the
French and German army, where each
regiment is provided with nine machine
gnn corps leach corps with Six guns),
the present plan is inferior IN strength
but the army authorities expect
eventually TO bring the corps up TO the
European standard
