Children and the War.

Agnes Repplier says in the Woman's
Home Companion: 1--WE cannot afford
to have young people feel that they
have no part to play in the nations
heroic struggle. that they may go on
amusing themselves in the old careless
fashion, while men are dying for their
safety. The rites and ceremonies Of
coming out may well be omitted, or
ut least slmplified. We have grown
to attach u tremendous but wholly
mythical Importance to girls first
season, to regard 1t as something sa-
cred and inviolable, with which no
cataclysm should be permitted to In
terfere, and for which no sacrifice Is
too great. It Is not an uncommon
thing to hear the death Of a distin-
guished citizen regretted because 1t
interferes with the coming out Of an
1S-year-old niece. If the war helps to
moderate this point Of view 1t will
have done us one good turn. If girl
decides to take a hospital course in
stead of devoting her winter to gayety,
she chooses wisely. Her health will
be conserved, her heart and mind ex-
banded"

Vampires, diabolical ghosts, witches,
"vilen." and vengeful spirits are held
in great respect throughout this coun-
try, and the folklore is rich in their
doings and In the common mortal's
philosophy Of self-preservation in q
world filed with such dlscouraging
things. The "alp," or nightmare, is
bitter old maid, recognizable by her
garb, who sits on the back or breast Of
the sleeper and torments him, mayhap
fatally. She cannot, for some reason
or other, sit upon the sleepers side,
and the true Dalmation never thinks
of sleeping in any other way than on
his side.
The vampire pursues Its peculiar
Dalmatian orgies In the guise of q
man or woman, lately dead and Of
faulty existence, and Is said to be
merely a human skin filled with blood

Batteries All Around the City.
On the hills above Tvoli, in view Of
the temple where the prophetic books
were kept that held the story Of Rome
and where a wise sibyl uttered oracu-
lar truths tempered with probability,
another battery of straight muzzles
takes heed only Of the deep, silken
night sky. This is a larger townlet
than the village Of Calvi, and the in
habitants, lulled to semihypnotic
somnolence by the never ceasing spell
of their waterfalls, know little of the
wary guns that guard their slumbers.
Along Rome's immediate cOronet Of
hills, above that Latium where ghostly
lines of aqueducts and here and there
q ruined group of gnarled old tower
spell out the tale of Roman and baro-
NAL days, more batteries guard the Sc
curity Of the eternal city, and the same
Is the case farther down where little
well Of acidulous water that is much
drunk in the hot weather sends In it's
daily supply on summer mornings, to-
gether with the brightly colored fruit
carts, to be sold in the streets heralded
by a strange, sing songing cry.
AS far away as the Simbruni hills
that lead in gradations of wildness to
the harsh heart Of central Italy, the
Rome-Sulmona railroad has its grim
guardian angels. And at Subiaco, the
cradle of western monastic orders, all
is ready against the incursion Of ILL
intentioned creatures Of the air.
Vatican Real Help to Rome.
And yet, it is perhaps the Vatican
that constitutes the best and surest
anti-aerial weapon. The pope lives
within it's walls, and Austria, the most
Catholic monarchy, will send no bombs
to Rome. As the capital Of Italy,
Rome would perhaps not be spared,
but stray bomb on the Vatican would
trouble the consciences of the dual
monarchy more than the slaughter Of
any number Of innocent noncombat-
ants and create complications for the
imperial government greater than they
care to face. It Is doubtful whether
even Protestant Germany would care
to affront the conscience Of not in
considerable part of its population.
There have been no formal assurances
given to that effect-if they exist they
have not been made public-yet there
seems to be tacit understanding
that because Of the pope's presence
Rome Is to be respected.
Thus, this city Of many vicissitudes,
though prayer and fasting are as much
out of date as q means Of defense as
the "terror by night" that haunted the
old monks Of Subiaco, carries within
herself purely spiritual defense more
powerful than any girdle Of steel.

NOT BEYOND EMEMY's REACH
There 10 Scarcely Spot in a BelIiger-
ent Country That Cannot BE A.
tackled With Modern Equipment.

BY far the greatest Of revolutions
was the Industrial revolution-that
broad change in human society which
attended the supplanting Of home pro-
duction by machine factory produc-
ton. Take any conspicuous detail in
which the nineteenth century differs
from the eighteenth, and you will prob
ably find that it runs back finally to
q mechanical invention. Throughout
two-thirds of the century the condition
of society was determined much more
by the state of the mechanical arts
than by politicians, warriors or teach
ers.
A distinguished economist now
urges that this same factor-the state
of the mechanical artists pushing
war off the stage, and Of itself neces-
states new relationship among lead
ing nations by which peace may be as
sured.
Mechanical science has already vast
ly changed and will soon completely
change the conditions of warfare. In
ventiOns make war an unlimited liabil-
ity In a new way, declares the Satur-
day Evening Post. Probably within
five years it will be as practicable for
an enemy to attack Chicago and Den
yer, or Berlin and Munich, as New
York or Bremen. Already English
men have been killed on their own
soil by an invading enemy for the
first time since the Stuarts, and a
German submarine has visited Ameri-
can ports. Already scarcely any spot
In belligerent country is beyond an
enemy's reach. If there should be q
war ten years hence between a pow
err as ready as Germany was in 1914,
and one as unready as the United
States then was, the former could
wreak incalculable destruction upon
the latter within month; no spot in
it would be safe, and the cost Of ade-
quate preparation for war by competi-
tive arming would lay an intolerable
| burden on the world.
The cost of playing the old game
puts it out Of the question. Develop
ment Of the mechanical arts vetoes 1t.
Only few people in control Of dy-
nastic states and their encourage have
any real motive for regretting the veto.

BIG BUFFALO HERD.
Largest and Most Picturesque
Group in World.
Animals Roam Over New National Re.
serve Covering Area Of 107,000
Acres Near Wainwright, q. c.

The largest herd of buffalo in the
world is now owned by Canada. They
form picturesque group as they
roam over the new national reserve
set apart for them near Wainwright,
a city 125 miles east of Edmonton, on
the Grand Trunk Pacific railway.
Canadians recognized the need Of
action If the bison were to be pre-
served, and purchased practically the
entire herd of 600 or 700 from Michael
Pablo of Montana, who had carefully
gathered them together and protect
ed them on his great ranch near Ra-
valli.
In the Wainwright national park
were placed more than 500 buffalo,
which were transported across the
international boundary line by train
from the Pablo ranch. The round
Ing up and loading on the cars of
this large number Of untamed ami
mails and their young was no light
task, and after long period Of hard
work more than $50 of the most un-
ruly had been left behind, having
stampeded every time an attempt
was made to drive them toward a
corral.
The natural increase in the herd has
brought the number to nearly 1000.
In the present favorable environment
1t Is expected that they will multiply
rapidly.
Although kept within the boun-
daries of the reserve the bison can
hardly be said to be in confinement.
Their stamping grounds cover an
area Of 100000 acres-165 square
miles. 1t is 20 miles in an air line
the longest way across. A wire fence
eight feet high and 70 miles in length
lncloses 1t.
When the fence was constructed 1t
was found that II wild deer and one
wapiti had been fenced in. Eighteen
small lakes and number Of streams
are within the park. Prairie chick
ems, ducks and other game find rest
ing place here undlsturbed by the
hunter. The park is truly buffalo
paradise.
Everywhere are outlines Of old buf-
falo trails and wallows. These wal
lows are being reopened by the new
denizens and once again the trails are
being marked by the hoofs Of the BIZ
son. The grasses are the kind that
the buffalo specially like. AS the or
binary span of buffalo's life Is one
hundred years, it may be that some
of the herd are revisiting scenes Of
their youth.
Michael Pablo, from whom the Cana
dian government purchased the herd,
Is q pure-blooded Indian and one of
the wealthiest Of the redmen. He re-
ceived 100000 from the Dominion for
600 head of buffalo.
Aroused by the loss Of these buffalo,
the United States has established
a national bison range in the Flat
head Indian reservation in Montana,
comprising 1900 acres near the towns
of Ravalli and Dixon. and 1t will be
stocked by the American Bison soci-
ETY.. Some animals for nucleus may
be obtained from n herd Of about 80,
owned by the Conrad estate near Kali

~ ONE is situated in an admirable
IL position from the viewpoint Of
anti-aerial defense. Not only
Is 1t In the usual sense forti-
fed city, but It lies in wide plain sur
rounded by hills at successive levels
that render minute and long distance
observation singularly easy.
The theory of hidden and possible
important airplane base somewhere by
the Tyrrhenean sea, that could send its
aircraft to Rome along the fiat shores
or the Maremma marshes, has now
proved to be highly improbable, writes
Magda Sindici in the Chicago News.
The latter would be the best side on
which to attack, only 1t has the great
disadvantage as a scheme, Of not be-
ing-so far-feasible. Seashore and
Maremma marshes would have to be
approached, failing this western base,
by crossing the higher Apennines. It
is, perhaps, difficult to place anti-air-
craft batteries along these peaks suffi-
cient in number to protect the whole
mountain chain; but spur after spur
Of the Apennines runs at right angles
to the main range from this spinal col
umn of Italy to the sea; and these
spurs are protected at every strategic
point, that is, wherever the mountain
Gus district merges into a plain.
Munition Works in Umbrla.
All over the dreamy province Of UNI
bria, SO called because Of the "shade"
once cast over the land by the thick
woods that covered it, batteries are
concealed. This province seems to
have gathered to itself all the gentle
ness Of Italy, as If the spirit of its an
cient agricultural Inhabitants, older
than the Etruscans, had managed to
survive the impact Of fierce medieval
war. Umbria holds the town Of TERM,
with its unresting steel and munition
works-a great goal for bomb throw
ers and many times attacked. The
little river Nera comes tumbling along
close by it, between high, cool banks,
so hasty and vivid that its waters lash
themselves into perpetual foam; and
just above the Nera, the gray CLEAN Of
guns adds contrasting touch to the
peasants in blue overalls and the red
tasseled white cattle for which the
district Is famous.

vent watched by ageless expresses,
which strike q warm brown note In a

Reporter Mc(litatcS.

Reynolds Bridge.-The reporter, in meditating on the extremely high cost of some of the main commodities be- came interested in an old account book of 100 years ago, in 1917. This record was kept by one who pur- chased quills for 62 1-2 cents and ink for 25 cents. On January 3 of that year she purchased a good chicken for 16 cents, four pounds of butter for 67 cents, two dozen fresh eggs for It 1-2 cents per dozen, barrel flour $4.62 1-2. The old account book records the price of 29 cents for two chickens for the table. The same ! chickens would be about $3 now. In that age fish was quite commonly in use. They bought shad. sea bass and /; lobster, respectively, at 27 cents, oys- ters cost 17 cents per quart, long clans 20 cents per peck, round clans, a far greater delicacy, at 25 cents per peck. Five skeins of wool brought IS cents; a maid to do housework, $1 Iper week; beefsteak at cents per bound.
