HEAVY FIGHTING ON
ROUMANIAN FRONT
Entente Forces Are Apparently
Holding Their Own in Con-
test with Teutons.
EXPECT BATTLE IN ALSAcE
,tAssociated Press War summary,

Heavy lighting is still III progress
on the Roumanian front, with the
Russians and Roumanians apparently
more than holding their own, Tor the
time at least, against Field Marshall
Won Mackensen's armies. Elsewhere
in the field Of military operations
there have been few activities of i'm
portance. r
This holds true Of the Franco-Bel-
gian front, where the quiet has been
broken recently only by the British
activities north of the Sonme. which
have resulted in advances for them
recently near Beaucourt- -Sur-Ancre.
Indications are not lacking, however,
that the present comparatively pa
cihc conditions are not likely to ep-
dure long and in this connection the
extreme southern sector of the line
is being closely watched.
The French here occupy a consid-
cradle section of Alsace, the fighting
line touching the Swiss border be.
tween Belfort and Basel. Concentrat-
ton OF masses of German troops
across the line from Basel has re-
Gently been reported in Swiss news
papers and belief is said to exist
in Switzerland that the Germans con-
template an offensive with the object
of freeing Alsace of the invaders.
The Swiss federal council early this
week, while expressing confidence
that none of the powers contemplated
a violation of Swiss neutrality, or
dered the mobilization Of additional
troops as a measure of precaution.
Both Germany and France assured
Switzerland recently that they would
continue to respect its neutrality
No further news OF the whereabouts
of the German sea- raider which has
been sinking entente shipping in the
south Atlantic has been received. but
arrival at Cape Verde Islands of the
British steamer Yarrowdale, with the
crews of eight of the ships disposed
of by the raider, said to number some
400 persons, is, reported in unofficial
advices received at Rio Janeiro.

Times and Maidens Change

Remember that time when Bill Taft,
with his mighty bosom swelling with tar
if reciprocity spanked Miss Canada. and
got the mtteu SOS that all the world
saw IT.
Wei. the naughty maid has relented.
There's q soft glad hand AT her front
door and room on the parlor sofa for
Uncle Sam, with the lights turned low.
Since April last, Miss Canada has sent
into the United States over II million
bushels of wheat duty free. On April
Is. she removed her import duty on
wheat and this act automatically broke
down the tariff walls
A common distress makes neighbors
akin. After Uncle sam dofts his khaki,
gets a bath and a shave and dons his old
reliable boiled shirt, watch him perk up
to Miss Canada once more!

Speaking of Dippers
and Some Other Things

Half dozen people with dippers can
fill a wash tub, but it takes a steam
pump to fill water tank.
Before we went to war a wash tub full
of money was enough to run our govern
ment, and we got along well enough with
the little dipper" tax, laws passed by
congress-the stamp tax dipper the in
come tax dipper, and two kinds of cor
poration tax dippers. The dippers filled
the wash tuD. so nobody cared much
whether the plan was efficient or waste
full.
Now we are at war and need a tank
full of money and then some. But does
congress put in a steam pump TO keep
it filled2 No. After celebrating four
months they simply decide to make the
old clippers a little larger, and put in a
lot Of new ones-a so-called excess prof
its tax and a whole string of pesky little
clippers in the shape Of taxes on railroad
fares, Pullman berths, telephone mes
sages. shaving soap, baseball, etc.
Every day, every hour almost. one or

and nickels. but causing endless annoy

tCopyrIghL 1915 by Frank Crane)

In "rhe Torches, one of the plays OF
this season. one of the characters, Her
merit, describes hoW I'M a 90 OF despair,
caused by The shock of his disiIlusion in
love, he determined to blow out his
brains. lie repaired TO the garden at
night. 81 pressed The pistol to my tenn
pie, he says. 1T was the end. And as
/ raised my eyes. they rested on the
stars. They. ayed me. In this supreme
moment saw up yonder The Torches,
the flaming ideas that illumine the con-
science of this great world / was about to
leave. That moment of contemplation
brought peace to my soul The flesh no
longer counted My petty sorrow was
lost in the universal mind. The soul Of
the infinite had absorbed by soul
And ne adds THE moment one
grasps the possibilities Of the mind, fear,
pain. jealousy become merely the refuse
of the SOU"
This is an example Of the mind taking
refuge in the infinite. It is a not uncom-
mon experience. In one way or another,
sometimes as a religious act, sometimes
as a plunge into philosophy, it has been
the discovery of the soul at bay that
there is open an avenue Of escape.
To the human being who will believe
it there is no possibility Of entire do
feat
There is always a door behind us thru
which we can slip and evade the enemy.
There is always an aiplane in which
we can mount and soar above the Huns
that surround US
What is it,
It is the Infinite. It touches every one
Of us. We can find it in the darkness of
our bedchamber alone at night, even also
in the confusion of the market place or
the welter of the arena
The Infinite is every mans secret,
1t overarches all souls and illumines al
minds, as the sky embraces the earth,
and with its stars speaks majesty unto
our Httleness.
The Infinite! We came from It at
birth we 90 back to it at death. And
no mans life needs be q dull gap unlit
by it.
I do not press upon you any religious
creed nor any system Of philosophy. But
I point out to YOU the way many a tor
mented mind has arrived at greatness,
poise and peace. It is by grasping, some
how, some way, the Infinite
This is the deepest, most inexhaust-
ible, most dependable ally Of the human
spirit. We are profoundly akin to the
Infinite.
Have you found that relationship In
your solitude are there=any stars1
Perhaps this very hour Of your wreck
and failure may be the opening to you Of
vast spiritual resources hitherto I'M
guessed.
If you are but an animal that thinks,
you are lost; If you once realize that
you are an imperial spirit, you are saved.
