 There were loud calls for the sum- rise at once, as 1t was a remarka- bIy misty morning. Imogene said she really couldn't understand it. but she was sure it would be better soon, and so we spun through Jackson park, which looked like a vapor bath, and felt our way down around the end of the lawn. I never knew there was so much mist in the world. Everybody has heard of the mists of the morning and I guess the entire supply was right there

And by the time we finally did reach town and human eats nobody was speaking to any one alse and relations still are much strained.

REASON FOR WORRY.

There is nothing surprising about
 the fact that Russia is worried over the new offensive which has been un- dertaken by Germany in the Gulf of Riga. Russia has reason to worry. Germany is going ahead. after having carefully made all it's plans. with the same success that was experienced in Galicia and Bukowina, with the ap- parent ease with which it captured Riga and with Russia weak in its re- sistance, as if in fulfillment of the declaration made by General Korniloff. following the fall of Riga, that unless
 Russia united and reorganiZed its fighting forces Germany would pro- ceed to walk over Russian territory even as it had done then. The gen. eral who tried to bring Russia to a realization of it's position and its duty realized what was in store for th2 t country. He told them at Moscow where the trouble lay and he repeated 1t on other occasions
 There can be no question but what Germany is fully aware of the fact that it can get about whatever it at tempts when i: proceeds against it's neighbor. It appreciates the existing internal conditiors in the new repub lie and it doesn't fail to take advan- tace of them when the plans are per fected. It Shows what can be accom- plished when organized efforts are lined up against disorganized.
 What the ultimate object Of the drive into the Gulf of Riga Is may not be apparent to Petrograd but lcol1 at it as the directors of that country may it bodes no good to that nation. Germany is surely moving against Tetrograd and with such deliberation that it means the fall of the Russian capital unless that country can rally it's forces and accomplish what 1t has not been able to do for some months, and that is to effectively upset the German scheme and drive back it's army and navy. Russia can do this if it will. but it will not be accom- plished by giving all its attention to political matters s

Views of the Vigilantes
PLAYING YOUR PART.
By Ralph Barton Perry of The Wig
 iTantes.

If you are the average man your
 only chance of the big things is to'as-
 sociate yourself with your fellows.
 Only a few ever attain eminence in
 science and art: most of the great ments. This means playing your part
 whether it be in the lead or in the ranks. It means what is commonly called sacrifice. One must be pre- pared to give and to suffer what tisc cause requires. even though one has to give up private advantages and satis- faction. In this country we are just getting to the point of making sacri fees. Hitherto we have given from our surplus. We have enjoyed the gra atitude of an afflicted world and ap- probation of our own indulgent con- sciences. without really suffering for it. We have not even yet quite come to realize that sacrifice means giving up something we really want. Like Artemus Ward, we have all neen will ing to sacrifice our wife's relations on the altar of our country. But now we are facing the dislocation of our our pet ambitions, the abridgements of our comforts and conveniences, the loss of our lives. and the unspeakable bitterness of bereavement. At such a time it is well to remember that the cardinal virtue in time of action is loyalty. Like other virtues it begins at home. The man who is not loyal to his wife will not be loyal to woman kind. The man who is not loya to hIs country will not be loyal to humani- ty.
 National life is a partnership in which men invest their treasures and lives in a common fund. He who ac- cepts citizenship in a democratic state pledges himself to play the game when the game is On. He has his chance to shape the rules. and to determine

NEW SUBMARINE ZONES.

Even though the report which-comes from Germany. to the effect that that country is preparing to extend the war zone and to include the coasts of the United States, Canada and Cuba therein, does not bear the official stamp it is not beyond the bounds of possibility. There have been sufficient demonstrations of the ability of sub marines to cross the ocean and since that time big developments have been made fin the size and power of the underwater boats. The Deutschland which was of a special type nego-
 tiated the distance without trouble, and while there has been no actual confirmation of it there have been re- ports to the effect. that others have appeared along this coast.
 It is well known that the U-53 made the trip and 1t is well remembered what destruction it caused out off Nantucket light. That was a warn ing of the havoc to shipping that would be caused should such a war zone be declared as the report re- ceived via London indicates. It would mean that the SD sDbnnarines would be a long way from their bases and that they would of necessity have a large field to cover. but it can be appre- ciated that they would be in locality, especially along the steamship lanes to do a great amount of damage.
 This Is matter which the navy department will of course take into consideration for it is not to he imag- ined that we would not put forth our strongest opposition for, which prep arations have now been underway for a long time. But we cannot afford to disregard shis latest warning that has been received whether the indi- cated action actually materializes or not. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

 It can be appreciated that there are mary things in common regarding the conduct of the war between this coun- try and its allies. They have been in the fight much longer than we have They have had much valuable experience and 1t s Sat proper that we should get the benefit of their experiments. It is vital that we should not fallinto the same pitfalls that they nave or that we should not experience the same troubles which occurred there before they got down to the right course. With a study made Of such things and in possession of the mem Iers of congress for use whenever war legislation is being considered, it can be appreciated that the facts to be obtained can be made of much value in aiding us to steer safe course. Certainly there can be no harm come from the undertaking.

PENALIzE THE ROBBERS.

When it is announced that the bu- reau of weights and measures in
 Brooklyn has started a campaign to prevent the overcharSing of those who purchase coal and that it has already prosecuted dealers against whom suf- ficient evidence was secured, it must be appreciated that a needed step in the right direction has been taken and it should by no means be con- fined to Brooklyn.
 It doesn't make any difference whether coal is selling for $5 a ton or for s14 ton. the purchas ser IS enti- tied to his moneys worth. The same holds true whether he buys by the ton or by the bag and it is the duty of the authorities to ferret out and make an example of the robbers, for when short weight is given and done pur- posely it is impossible to apply any other term and have it fit the case
 The practice of beating the other fellow is as old as the hills but that is no excuse for tolerating it. Such swindling is bad enough under nor nal conditions but with prices where they are today it is a crime which ought to be met with the strongest kind of opposition. And this opposi- ton ought not to be shown simply to the coal dealers. There should be- a clean sweep while the good work is being done. Let all who stoop to cheating and gouging their ferowmen be brought to light and let them pay the penalty in accordance with the extent of their act. The consumer is made to bear enough burdens with out resorting to any such dealings He has a right to expect just such protection as the Brooklyn bureau is to give and to have it at all times. There can be no sympathy for the fellows who want to get rich quick by such methods

The announcement that a party of national legislators is to go to Flu rope for the purpose of studying the conditions existing in the countries with which we are allied, and to get into closer touch with the legislation that has been and is being carried on In these countries means that the in- ritaticn that was extended some time lgo looking to this very move is to De accepted.
