oliver Goldsmith Memorial.

At Auburn, County Athlone, Ire
land, the poets birthplace, a memorial
is being erected to Oliver Goldsmith.
1t will take the form Of the restoration
of the church where the poets father
ministered so many years. Oliver
Goldsmith was born in 1928 at Bally-
mahon, County Longford, and two
years later his father, Charles Gold
smith, became rector of Kilkenny
West and settled in Lissoy, which is
now known as Auburn. 1t is village
on the road between Athlone and Bal
lymahon. Auburn &C Goldsmiths DE
serted Village" in some degrees repre-
sents Lissoy, and the story of an old
eviction by General Napier was prob
ably in Goldsmith's mind when he
wrote the poem, although it is intended
to apply to England.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Data
obtained oday indicates clearly that
by 1921 the United States will have
the most effective navy in the world.
It has been generally supposed that
the Navy had suspended work on the
great fve-year construction program
TO 1918, which contemplated the
earliest possible commissioning of
ten superdreadnoughts and eight
battle cruipers. Secretary Daniels,
however, said today the preliminary
work was in progress, notwithstand-
ing the emergency work which be-
came necessary on other lines when
the United States entreaed he war.

Is Russia Lying in Wait?

a LII Europe is stirred by stories which
a have come on; of Russia indicating that
momentous changes are taking place behind
the vast curtain drawn by German arms
across that empire. Reports persist that
counteT-revolutions are being fomented: that
subterranean efforts being made TO re-
store the monarchy; that Kerensky is heading
a new republican movement; that Siberia is
seeking to divorce herself from Western
Russia and that Trotzky is forming an army
to arrest German aggression Not only are
the entente powers aroused by these reports
but 1t Is indicated il the German press that
Berlin is disturbed over underlined develop
ments in Russia.
Whatever may be the truth regarding
Russia, ii can be put down as a certainty that
soon or late that giant nation will arise
from the state of coma il which she now
finds herself will turn upon her oppressors
and demand tho right 10 live more as a
nation. This regeneration may not come

civilized nation OF $50. coo, 600 people in the
history OF the world was ever absorbed by
enemy. Such nations may have been
crushed and all but put to death. but none
ever suffered extinction from force outside
its own boundaries.
Even now the worm may be turning in
Russia. There may be conyuisive move
ments in the great body of the Russian
people. These people may have become CON
scous OF the vassalagc which Germany is
trying 10 impose. They may have realized
that they have surrendered their liberties
and that Acknowledgement is about 10 accom-
plish ruin which her archenemy hopes to
capitalize. Ii the millions OF Russians who
have the power ri thought are actually turn
