The. diary is valuable. as has been
 pointed out. for perhaps nowhere else in the literature of the war will be found tho southern spirit of that time ex- pressed in words which are not alone charming as literature, but genuinely human in their spontaneousness. She is as frank as Marie Bashkirtsev, the brilliant Russian girl who barred her life and soul, without her moodiness. She is just delightfully."- feminine. could string out a lot oi adjectives without convey ing more, so I'll leave it at that.
 She wrote the diary from day to day, as the mood or occasion prompted her. and | 1t is refreshing to see just how open she was in recording the good and the l had about herself as well as others.

week OF PASSOVER
begins At SUNDOWN
Hebrew Religious Celebration Marked
by Appeal for War Sufferers.

Passover. one of the most important
observances of the Jewish religion,
begins today at sundown and continues
until a week has passed. The hrst and
eighth days are looked upon as full
holidays. but the more orthodox Jews
celebrate the second day also.
The familiar matzos bread, which is
unleavened. is used in the celebration,
no leavened bread or cake being eaten
at all. Cooking utensils and dishes in
general use are replaced by others for
the celebration.
In many orthodox homes the ancient
ceremony. known as seder. will be
celebrated by the head OF the house,
hold and members of his family.
A Passover appeal has been sent to
Jews all over the nation for aid for
the suffering Jews in the European
war zones by the Central Relief Com
mittee, of So Park Row, New York, and
the celebration will be more import
ant this year than ever by reason of
the knowledge that so many Of the
race are In distress In the war-rocked
country across the Atlantic.

ADVERTISERS ASSURED
AGAINST WAR RISKS
Government Requisition of Utilities
Z Only in Protracted War.

There Is no need for the majority
OF national advertisers to slow down
their advertising OF hesitate to make
commitments for fear that in the event
OF war Uncle Sam will commander
their plants or take other action tina:
will interfere with the production OF
advertised specialties. according Ia
Printers Ink.
: This statement is made on assurance
of the authorities at Washington best
qualified to speak. without attempting
TO close q mortgage on the future. II
may be said that there appears to be
small warrant for the misgivings that
have been expressed by numerous man.
ufacturers.
Most OF the questions involving the
likelihood OF the government taking
over factories for the manufacture OF
military and naval supplies have ema-
mated from the manufacturers of spe-
cialties. In time Of war the govern
nent would reQuisition needed raw ma
terials wherever found. and this policy
would extend to Manufactured staples
and even to some widely advertised
products. as, for example, automobile
tires.
,s Leading officials of the government,
the foremost executives of the Council
Of National Defense and members OF
Nu6 GpcCldl COInHlIIecS OI Lue NndnuOCI
OF Commerce of the United Seates. In
charge of all forms Of preparedness,
agree that unless q war with 0er-
many develops into a protracted and
destructive struggle. there will be no
need for Uncle Sam to divert forcibly
any manufacturer Of advertised spe-
ciaIties from the even tenor OF his
way.
Manufaeturers May BENEFIT.
There Is every likelihood that many
of the manufacturers will have opportu-
nifty to bid upon government contracts
for their regulation wares or for articles
FOR the manufacture of which their plants
are adapted. But II Is unlikely that any
pressure will be brought to bear to per
suade any such manufacturer to take
such business against his will or to de-
vote his whole plant to government work
! II he prefers to retain a portion of his
facilities for the production Of his stand
ard line In order to maintain his good
win at par.
Far from a desire that the govern
ement go to extremes, there Is at Wash
ington pronounced sentiment to the effect
that 1t will be distinctly to the advantage
of this country after the war to have as
many factories as possible tuned UP to
provide ammunition, in the form Of inter
nationally familiar merchandise, for the
commercial war after the war.
I Uncle Sam knows pretty accurately
what he has up his sleeve and there Is
scant chance that he will play the bull
IN the china shop to the extent Of grab
bing up the plants Of makers Of distinct
i've specialties only to discover later that
he did not really need their shop space
after all.
II is perhaps unnecessary at this juno
ture to work upon the fears of ANYBODY
that the needs of the government with
respect to the movement of troops and
war supplies will seriously sidetrack other
articles of commerce.

PEKING, China: France and China
have become involved in a hopeless
diplomatic middle as result OF the
forcible seizure by France OF an adj
5dition to its. concession In Tien-Tsin
on October Fl. as previously reported
In these dispatches.
Sir John Jordan, the British minis

at Picking, attempted to bring about a
compromise by proposing to convert
the disputed territory. which consists
OF about $50 acres, into a Sino-French
settlement to be administered jointly
by the French and the Chinese.
The Chinese press and much of the
Chinese public opposed such a settle
ment, and criticism of the French Of.
fetal was so harsh that the negotia-
tons came to an end. The British
minister has left for England on a
four months vacation, and the ITEM
Tsin dispute is at a standstill.
Spasn1Odic runs have been made by
Chinese on French banks both in Pc

vcrts are being constructed before ex.
pensive road surfncing Is done, says
Indiana Farmer.
This work Is often paid for out Of
the annual tax levy for road and
bridge construction. and absorbs such
a large part Of the funds that too little
money is left for grading the surfac-
ing. Good bridges and culverts are
permanent structures. and the deputy
minister Of highways of Ontario. Hon.
w. A. Mclean, has advised the taxpny-
ers Of that province to pay for them
by bond issue where the total e1-
penditure for the purpose is large. In
such a case he suggests compiling a
complete list Of the bridges and cul-
verts needed. preparing plans and es.
Inmates for their construction, and
then financing the work SO that Its
cost will be equitahly distributed ever
a period Of years rsther than be con-
centrated on the taxpayers OF few
years. Where there are few Of these
structures and none is expensive. the
policy Of paying for them out Of the
annual tax levy cannot be criticized,
In his opinion, for II does not interfere
appreciab!y with satisfactory progress
in grading drainage. surfacing and
maintenance.
