for the review and the enactment OF
the pageant democracy Triumphant.
Each national group, and every war
ring nation, as we'll as the oppressed
nationalities of Austria Hungary, were
represented, wore native costume and
carried national flags with The Stars
and Stripes. A regiment of American
infantry and engineers and detach-
mcnts of French, British and Italian
sailors gave martial touch.
The parade, which followed page
ants ty national groups at the va
rious government departmental build
ings, began in the early evening and
darkness had fallen when the last
of the long line reached the east
front of the Capitol Then under the
brilliant illumination of hundreds OF
lights, the pageant was enacted.
The pageant depicted Humanity and
her happy children meeting q sorrow

her aid, who in turn called upon Co.

Columbia offered her entire resources,

Approval of the Presidents Words
Shouted in 7hirty-three LANGUAGES

President Wilson spoke from tha
shadow Of Washington's tomb, while
foreign-born citizens of the United
States, thirty-three nationalities, who
had placed wreaths Of palms on the
tomb in token of fealty to the princi-
pies laid down by the Father Of His
Country, cried their approval of his
words in many languages. Then they
stood with reverently barred heads
while John Mccormack sang "The Star

The speakers crisp words as he en-
phasized the least which America will
consider as basis for peace were in
terrupted by tumult of applause and
The demonstration swept beyond the
wall of khaki-clad marines to the
throng Of Americans scattered over the
hills and through the woods surround
ing Washington's home.
A single reference to Russia gave no.
tice to the world that the United States
still accounts the peoples Of the young

son enumerated the opponents Of Ger
people Of stricken Russia still amcng
the rest, though they are for the mo-
ment unorganized and helpless.
Especial interest attached to his
words, particularly to the statement
that Russia's distress is only tempo
rary. because Of plans now being formu-
lated for giving assistance to the coun.
try. Boris Bahkmeteff, who was sent
here as Russian Ambassador during the
herensky regime, was in the audience.

During the trip to and from Mount
Vernon on the Mayfiower, President
Wilson had many intimate personal
talks with the representatives Of the
people who have left their native lands
TO find homes in America. Testing out

many questions, interjecting now and
then Il sharp phrase or two, then pass

 These five main highways through
 the mountains become more important from a military standpoint as they come eastward toward the Asiago and Grenta region. All the chief pressure
 has been in the easterly region in the
 past, and the indications at present are
 that it will be in this region.
 The great fighting ground then would be along the two valleys on the
 east, Val Lagarina and Val Sugana,
 and chief attention should be centered
 on them and thir neighboring heights af Asiago. the Grappa and Mount
 Tomba. Both of them comeI down from Trent, the Austrian storm center which sends forward troops and sup plies through both these valleys to the
 mountain fronts beyond. From Trent

From it's lieadwaters near Trent the Brenta makes a wide circuit before | it comes down to the open plain at Basano, and it is within this circuit that the Asiago plateau and the hardest fighting ground lies. The Austrian

 The bomb-swept and deserted town

INSPIRING RESENTMENT.

Mighty little sympathy is going to he aroused by those who have entered Into the scheme of bringing that na- ton which has ravished Belgium, rent Serbia. destroyed northern France and throttled Rumania across the English channel and the North sea to fight for the Irish. It only inspires resent ment. That Germany has been leav- ing no stone unturned in it's efforts to start a backfire to the British deter aination to crush Prussianism can be ? fully understood. There was a chance offered to get the people of Ireland to side in with the German cause by holding out the promise of giving aid to the home rule fight through fur nishing arms and financial assistance and it found fertile ground in the Sim Fein movement. the leaders of which have unquestionably been led into a trap much the same as were those in the Russian provinces.
 It is therefore not to be supposed by any means that all Ireland, CT for that matter any considerable part of it stands for such a dangerous undertak- Ing. The scheme has been unearthed at the proper time and the steps which z have been taken to break it up give every indication of being successful Germany has no interest in the Irish cause except so far as it can be used to strike a. the British and weaken the part which they are taking in the war. Every bit of embarrassment which is therefore contributed by the Irish to the furtherance of the Ger. man cause is a direct aid to their owr downfall. Such wild and fanatica plan can never succeed at home once t becomes understood and it certain ly can never get any support in this country. When any Irish leaders at tempt to connive with the German, they display the poorest kind of judg. 'pent and play a losing game from the start. Those who get German help must fully understand they have got to share Ge-many's war burdens

EARLY BIRD AND THE WORM

Poor Jennie, too exhausted to speak, soon found herself resting con1fortab- ly in her own bed while Beth, eyes brimming over with tears, lamented the fact that she had fallen asleep again almost immediately after Jen- nie left her.
 How nice that fellow was who res cued you. I've seen him around here all week." continued Beth q think he must be employed here" Gaining no reply from Jennie she did not enthuse further over the hero of the day. No l ticing that Jennie was dozing she l quietly took . magazine and tried to interest herself in it. Presently a gentle knock on the door announced 1 the arrival of Miss White, the propriet- ress, with breakfast for the two girls. | Gracious" said Beth, how kind of you. 1 had completely forgotten that l it was past eating time" 1 Jennie reused herself sufficiently to 1 take a few sips of coffee, while Beth fairly devored the delicious corn muf- | fins.
 A good sound sleep greatly improved
 Jennie, and the afternoon found her 1 seated in an easy chair on the spaei- l ous veranda, while Tom Hurd occupi- 1 ed the chair by her side
 1 After supper that evening Jennie re- 1 tired quite early, and Tom found him. self wondering how he had spent other evenings. Tonight there seemed to be
 no place to go, or nothing worth while to do. But tomorrow evening she would be able to stay up and possibly to go to the dance, too. The thought alone was eonsoling to him and in idle dreams he spent the evening until locking up time arrived.
 Jennie rested all next day, and final ly yielding to Toms eoaxing, she agre- ed to take a short stroll along the beach after supper.
 Was it to be wondered at that Dan
 Cupid completed his errand in that one
 evening? What more powerful wea
 pons could there be than the "silvery
 moon,' combined with the enchanting
 sad sea waves" to work successfully
 on two loving hearts? Just as soon as

 "and how glad I am this is my last year"
 Arm in arm they returned to the Castle Mona,"' Jennie too happy for
 words, and Tom convinced that he had
 won the sweetest girl in the whole
 world

 CT of her left hand, for as Beth ex- plained to her acquaintance that was
 the morning that the early bire caught the worm. ."-Beston Post.

file, so part of the approach is over these intervening mountains which reach down to the river valley. This Asiago region is cut by two other, local valleys. which are a most important part of the mountain opera tions though they are not main high ways through the Alps. These are the Valarsa and the Astico valleys, which wind irregularly down toward vicenza Much is likely to be heard of this section in the coming op6rations.
 East of the Brenta river is Another part of this same Val 'Sugana which is also desperate fighting ground. Here the enemy has made his main push to get down to the open plain, and here he advanced furthest, toward BAssano, yet the splendid bravery of the Italians held him in the mountains through the winter. He is still there, around Mount Pertico, Mount Asolone, Col Ga prilie and Col della Berretta, This is bloody fighting ground and it will doubtless be hear from very often as the operations develop.
 Still further east comes the domifa- ting massive of Mount G1appa, midway between the Brenta and Piave rivers. It is strongly held by the Italians and is one of the great citidals of Italy's natural mountain defense. Near it, rising from the Piava river, comes Mount Tomba. where the French troops made such a brilliant drive last December. The enemy has been comparatively quiet in this region, all the indications being that he is center ing attention further west in the Asiago region and down the Bfenta valley
 This summarizes the mountain fight ing ground on the Italian front. where there is gathering activity and where it is belived the big fighting is going to occur.

precaution ot wiping but the sreea-

precaution of wiping out the breed ing places.
 The mosquitoes are great nuisance if nothing else. It is known, however, that they are a decided menace to health through being the carriers of disease germs. There are some spe- cies which breed only in woodland but the most of them come from the swamps. Stagnant water whether it is found in swamps, in rain barrels or in tin cans can be relied upon to produce millions Of them. There is thus an opportunity for many people to engage in the work of striking at this pest in their breeding places by eliminating the receptaeles which invite the propagation of this nuisance and health menace. It is matter to which not a few but all should give attention wherever it is needed. It is a service which needs to be rendered and the earlier it is done and the more persistenty the more gratifying will be the results.
