| Harwick-Tne National Geographic | Society issues the following war ge- 1 ography bulletin on Harwick, the for tified English seaport recently at lacked by a squadron of German air Ilanes:
 Tt is less than 100 miles in a north westerly direction across the North Sea from Ostend, where the Germans rave a strong base, to the English seaport of Harwick. Harwick is i'm portant not on account of it's size, for it has less than 15, 900 inhabitants, but because it has one of the finest har bors on the east coast of Englandoand has for years been popular port of ernbarka ton for Belgium Holland and Denmark.
 Tn times of peace there is a thriv- ing passenger steamer service between Harwick and Copenhag gen, Antwerp Rotterdam, Amsterdam. Hamburg, and Hook of Holland. Travellers fen London, which is 70 miles by rail to the southwest, were accustomed to boarding their steamers for the Con- tinent at the Parkestone Quay, the terminus of the Great Eastern Rail- way, two miles west of the center of the town.
 "Harwich is situated on a promon- tory at the confluence of the Orwell and Stour Rivers, the estuary of the two streams tapping the towns quays to the north and the waters of the North Sea lying few miles to the east. IL IS protected Dy Ldn0Suaru Fort, situated on a promontcry to the east across the mouth of the estuary, and by numerous batteries.
 "'In addition to its passenger traf- fic. Harwich has considerable peace time trade with Denmark. Germany and Holland, its exports consisting chiefly of cement, ironware, maci1in- cry, leather and fish, while it's inn ports include wooden, cotton an silk goods timber. grain, and tobacco. In 1912 the value of Its total water-borne comerce was in excess of s16a, ,0o0. 900. more than the total imports and ex- ports of Philadelphia in 1915.
 eThe history of Harwich goes back many centuries. It is probable that the Romans established a station here. and in the time of the Danish inva- sions, before and during the days of Alfred the Great, it was a great mill itary depot for the warriors from across the North Sea. The waters adjacent to the port have been the scene of several important naval con- f1icts, especially in the wars with the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Since the time of James I 1t has been a point of coast defense.
 Tuesdays and Fridays are still market days in Harwich-Tuesdays since 1252, when Henry III issued the permit, and Fridays since the reign of James I.
 The trade of Harwich has been growing since the 14th century, when it enjoyed comerciai relations with the merchants of Spain. At later period its wheat and wool traffic with F1an- ders ~aa most ncurishirE. Lebsters

RUssrA's NEW TROUBLES.

Russia in spite of the efforts which have been made to bring order out ot the chaotic conditions following the revolution, has not as yet reached the point where it can be told for any ministry is going to hold together or now much dependence can be placed upon the army.
 This is perhaps no better illustra ted than by the events which have trans pired there within the past few weeks Under the belief that a strong tenn porary government had been insti- tuted, there was much encoura cement given to the belief that the various elements in that great country would be brought together in the interests of free Russia and progress was be- ing made to such an end. That ene- my influences were at work was mani fested, but how strong they were be- came apparent in. the revolutionary movements and the secession prepa- ganda which was fostered in several of the provinces.
 Even while these were underway in order that Russia might do it's part and hasten the time when peace could be honorably negotiated, the army was gotten into action and was making good progress in the Austrian prov ince of Galicia, when the same kind of evil influence was spread amongst certain regiments resulting in a re- fusal to obey orders and therefore the sbazaonuent of certain uras and tue

WHITE SERGE FROcKS.

The woman who expects to spend some of her summer days and eve nings at the seasllore or the noun tains will find that the possession of 8 white serge frock will be one of the greatest comforts in her life. During the season it can be cleaned as often as necessary, or if it's trimmings will rernnit it can be washed and ironed at nome. Then when fall arrives a dip in the dye pot will transform it into g new frock. So you see that there is economy in a frock of this type.
 The frock shown is most attractive and youthful The yoke arrangements and the manner in which the belts are worn are points that add chara cter to the model. The belts. by the way, are of blue suede leather Stra pS of the eather are used in a unique manner to connect the edges of pleats that fa;i down the front and back of the frock. The straps through which the belts pass are in one with the frock. al- though at first glance one would sus- pect them of being separate pieces of the serge stitched on.

HOLLAND CANNOT FORGET.

It is an interesting state of affairs which is presented by the report to the effect that Holland, aroused over the alleged invasion of it's territorial waters by the British destroyers which captured or destroyed the fleet of Ger man merchantmen that was attempt ing to run the British blockade, is prepared to fight in defense of it's rights and in resentment Of such ac- tion.
 This is a highly interesting develop ment in view of the attitude which Holland has taken regarding the many violations of it's rights by Germany It is hardly probable that Holland will go to any such limit. It is possi- ble that such a report ernanates from pro-German sources, for there is no question but what Germany would like to see the Dutch join the central powers in the war. but Holland has not been scratched by the acts of the British. even if it can be proved that it's territorial waters were invaded, in comparison with the in- juries which have been inflicted upon it by Germany.
 Holland cannot forget how it's ves- sells have been sunk without warning by the German submarines, how it's sailors have lost their lives through
 
 been prevented from receiving such supplies as it has needed and how the German underwater boats have been making use of the very waters about which 1t is said to be ready to make such a fuss now. Holland protest ed to the Germans and 1t received little satisfaction. It will doubtless protest to the British and from the manner in which such matters have been handled during the war it can anticipate that ii will receive much more considerate treatment from Lon don than it would from Berlin under like conditions. Germany has told Holland and all the neutrais that it's rights are only scraps of paper, that they will be violated and they are be- ing violated at every opportunity, in comparison to which it has no word of complaint to make to the British Holland has no desire to enter the war and it need not fear that Great Britain will force it in

LIFTING THE EMBARGO.

Word now comes to the effect that certain amount of ammunition in this country is to be allowed to cross the Mexican border and be received by the Mexican government. That this decision was reached as the result of the recent visit of Ambassador F1et- cher to Washington is indicated. and furthermore it is to be gathered that every precaution which lies within the power of this government will be taken to see that the ammunition reaches the proper destination This is a vital matter for it is unquestionably the purpose of this government in per mitting this passage to show its will ingness to help bring about a stable government and thereby cement closer the ties which should bind the neigh bors together.
 From the course which is being pur- sued it is not to be supposed that it is the intention of this government to remove the embargo entirely. The ammunition which is to be allowed to go into Mexico is that winch was pur- chased in this country a year or more ago. The lifting of the embargo on a previous occasion failed to accom- plfsf what was intended. Rather did it mean that the guns and ammuni-
 
 were turned upon our own soldiers There are reasons for believing now that such danger is past, for certainly the government must have profited from it's previous lesson, and what ever is to be sent now must have brought forth the assurance that it would be used for the purpose of put ting down any disorders and the strengthening of the Carranza gov ernment, which of course offers the greatest promise for the paciflcation of that country at the present time.
 There must, however be careful supervision of all such shipments which are made to Mexico to guard against an advantage being taken of this country's attitude by any revo- lutionary elements, and especially those who would be free to use such ammunition for border disturbances.

CARE FOR THE EYES.

When one considers how clear sparkling eye adds to the attractive ness of a face. one realizes that the best of care should be given this sen- sitive organ.
 Physicians say that indigestion, nervousness, headaches and other zN- ments are often the result of weak. strained or tired eyes. Many women do not know their eyes are not nor mai; many are too vain to wear glass- es. They prefer to disrupt and upset the entire system rather than wear a pair of glasses because they look bet ter without them. If the trouble is taken in time the glasses reed never be worn in public.
 The eye. bath should be taken in the morning and before retiring. The eye cup fits over the open eye and the water will wash it out Soft or distilled water should be used A pinch of salt thoroughly diluted strengthens the eye and tests it. Or boric acid is also a good eye wa ash. The cup must be well cleansed before using on either eye Sometimes one eye will be infected while the other is quite well and the eye cup will carry the infectonl Under no conditions should more than one person use the cup If one can spare the time after washing the eyes it is wise to lay a damp cloth over them and lie down for 10 minutes.
 When reading one should always sit so that the light comes from the back CT over the left shoulder. The book or paper should be held about two feet away. If one must hold the book nearer or further away to read with comfort an eye specialist should be visited.
 There is danger for those who rub the eye with the hands or fingers or handkerchiefs. Many causes of eve trouble can be traced to them.

WELLS.

Among other little touches that are big assets to a complete costume are vei1s Never before were they half so daring or nearly so charming. Att tention is directed to the sports veil particularly. and it's thoroughly anaz- ing developments. Time was when any veil that dared exploit more than one color at a time was freak and a fright, and finally mot worn by d iady," but all things are subject to change even veils and the latest in veils is simply irresistible. What do you think of a face covering of white Shetland silk in the charming hexagon mesh, with a border of rose striped f11et? Or one showing a Copenhagen center and a white border? Then there is one with a navy center and shadow lawn border. Of course, the two, or even three, colored models haven't a monopoly of the modes by any means. The veil of solid color is as popular as ever. White chiffon finished with a quite broad hemstitch- ed border is very fetching. So is an all white chiffon veil emEsllished with a golf stick and case done in green and pink and coin dots of green The veil for dressy wear continues in fine black mesh. Chenille and velvet dots are fashionable. but large squares and ova1s of velvet in the veil are quite the last word.

MAKING SOME PROGRESS.

Considering the need which exists for getting the work underway which depends upon it's action, no more inn portant step has been taken by the senate in the way of war prepara- tions than the passage of the food control and aviation bills by the sen- ate on Saturday. Too much delay has been experienced already in re- gard to the former measure. The de- bate thereon has been prolonged far beyond the time that was necessary to bring forth wise action. Amendments have been made only to obstruct and be defeated and the result is now that the senate has passed bill which differs considerably from the measure which the house adopted. But the action of the senate pushes 1t along to another stage. It will now go to conference between representa- tives of the senate and the house and it is to be earnestly hoped that the obstructions which were placed in front of it in the senate will not be repeated there
 Changes will have to be made by one house or the other It. is possible that there will be concessions made by both branches of congress before a bill which will be satisfactory to both branches will be perfected, but it should be realized that the inter ests of the nation demand that an agreement should be reached at the earliest possible moment. That should be understood by the conference com mittee even if there have been indi- cations to the effect that the senate has paid little or no attention there to.
 It is unfortunate that this bill could not have received the same quick and considerate attention that was ac- corded the aviation bill calling for the appropriation of s640,o0O,OoO for the building of a large fleet of air planes and the raising and nainte- nance of a large corps of aviators They are both vital to the part which this country must play in the war and every effort is needed to produce the results which are aimed at and which they will make possible.

BAGS POPULAR.

Bags become more and more orn- amental. They bear, as a rule, some relation to the dress with which they are carried. The morning bag of leather or other substantial fabric which assists in bringing home the ornamental trimmings of the family meals by the sensible souls who go to market is replaced in the afternoon by a brocade, satin or embroidered crepe de chine bag. Then there is the eve ming bag. a thing of great and special elegance always. at least a collateral relation of the dress. We do certain ly all belong to the great army of bag women.
