ments. And in the same vein are Mr.
Wilson's words of magnanimous de-
yotion to the cause of democracy all
over the world. They are certain to
reyerberate throughout Europe. In
especial manner will his eloquent ref
erence to "the wonderful and hearten-
ing things" recently wrought by the
Russian people be hailed in Petrograd
as reinforcement against autocracy
mightier than an army. They will af.
ford new buttress to the Russian
Republic. And his plea for 'the
right of those who submit to author
ity to have voice in their own gov
ernments' will help to bring nearer
the day Of world-demccracy. The
whole address, in fact, once accepting
the Presidents premises, is conceiv-
Cd and expressed in way to com
mand high admiration.
Most generous and gratifying is
the language which the President
uses of the German people, here and
abroad. He expresses the largest
confidence in the loyalty of German.
Americans. This is already justified
in the response of the German-Ameri
can press. But Mr. Wilson goes
further. He summons native-born
citizens to embrace eagerly the OPP
the protection of their persons and
portunity to show friendship and
trust toward 1.-THE millions of men
and women of German birth who live
among us and share our life" An
attitude of GOODNESS and suspicion to-
ward them would SOW discord where
there ought to be comradeship And
even as respects aliens on our soil,
the President asks his countrymen
not TO confuse a "lawless and malig-
nant few with the great body that
we may reasonably expect to submit
themselves quietly to the laws Of
the country and to conform to the
proprieties of the situation in which
they find themselves. Panic fears
about their possible treachery, with
ell spy-mania, the President would
have US Danish far from us.
Mr.. Wilson seeks to make broader
a distinction which he limited at in
his address to Congress at the time
of breaking off diplomatic relations
with Germany. We mean, of course,
the distinction between the German
people and the government that
speaks for them. 1t is only with the
latter that we have our quarrel. I'VE
are he asserts, ''the sincere friends
of the German people" Only that
friendship has enabled the govern
ment of the United States to bear
with such long patience the acts OF
their rulers. 1t is merely against an
irresponsible government" in Ger
many, which has thrown aside al
considerations for humanity" that the
United States assumes a hostile atti
tude What effect these utterances
will have in Germany when they are
known there--it is impossible to say
They may stimulate the popular re
sentiment, already manifesting itself
against the Prussian autocracy. Blu
it is plainly possible that they ma.
be taken, for the time being as onl.
adding insult to injury, and actual.

way the result will lean, only tn
event can determine. But all mus
be grateful to the President for say

of Americans, and because it furthe

THE RIGHT WAY.

British soldiers on a sinking trans
port paraded the deck, put life belts
on and then sang while awaiting
death The fact that they were uneX-
pectedly saved does not detract from
the fineness of the way they faced
the end. The official order commend
ed them for upholding the cherished
traditions of the Birkenhead." The
Birkenhead was a troop ship that
went down off the African coast more
than sixty years ago carrying with
ii several hundred soldiers whose con-
duct was gallant beyond praise.
1t is a tradition in the British ser
vice that men behave in this way I'm
der these conditions, Every army
service has accumulated similar ira
ditions This simply means that the
men are trained in proper behavior,
so that it becomes automatic with
them.
A young man told his employer the
other day that he was going to en-.
list.
'Why?" enquired the employer who
didn't fancy losing his service. Il
was brought up that way, guess,
was the reply.
A pretty good sort of bringing up
The child who is trained to do his
duty as a matter of course is pre-
pared to meet emergencies. The more
things we can trust to our automatic
processes, the more energy we shall
have left to apply to other matters.
It is possible by proper training to
bring up a boy or a girl to whom be-
ing decent and honorable and deyot-
ed is just as instructive as walking.

ARE OUR SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS OVERFED?

That our soldiers and sailors are
getting too much to eat, especially too
much lean meat, Is the contention OF
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, food expert,
and associate editor of Good House
keeping. He voices his opinions in
the current issue as follows:
am fully convinced hat our sol
diers and sailors would be better off
if one- third of the food issued to them
were cut out. The overfed soldier will
not endure so much fatigue, march SO
far, carry such heavy burdens. or re-
act so we'll under wounds and surgi-
cal operations as the one that is fed
en- a normal amount of food. I be-
lieve, of course, very strongly that
If any error Is committed in regard
to the quantity Of food, it should be
on the side of excess rather than in
sufficiency, but there is no need of
going to either extreme. Fortunately,
the soldier and sailor are not requir-
ed to eat all their ration. They are
allowed a money compensation for
the part OF the ration that they do
not draw. This happily leads not
only to thrift and economy, but also
to better health. If the soldier does
not like any particular part of his ra-
ton. he can in favorable circumr
stances take its money value and pur-
chase what he does like. For these
reasons we need not have any great
fear that The soldier and sailor are
likely to be injured by over eating.

MARIA


Maria was the wife OF EMS, who
governed Astolia, as deputy under
Pharnabazus. a satrap of Persia,
about B. G. After her husband was
killed she journeyed to the satrap,
and entreated to be entrusted with the
power which he had enjoyed. She
promised to WELD this with the same
zeal and fidelity displayed by Zenis.
Her desire beingagranted, she effec-
.tually fulfilled her engagements. and
acted on all occasions with great
courage and prudence. She not only
defended the placks committed to her
charge. but conquered others, and be-
sides paying punctuaIly the customary
tribute to Pharnabazus sent him mag
nificent presents. She Commanded
her troops in person. and preserved
the strictest discipline in her army.
Pharnabazus held her in high esteem.
At length her son-tn- law, Midas,
mortified by the reproach Of having
suffered a woman to reign in his
place. gained adniittance to her apart
ments and murdered both her and
her son.

Book Of May 1915. In which 1t is said
that Belgian civilians attacked Ger

destroyed by the Germans in that I'M

number OF dwellings and other build
ings which have been given over to

cording to provinces, is as follows.

The building of the canal shortened
the time from Albany to Buffalo from
twenty days to ten days, and the cost
of carrying freight from Buffalo to
New York was reduced from 500 per
ton to $40, and later to So. Horses
were used to propel the canal boats
until 1871, when steam was intro
duced as motive power.
