 for contributing to the aid Of beiliger- snts and for departing from the mar row paths Of neutrality.
 Germany's purpose was to block the entire plan of taking over these Dutch ships, and it can be expected that it will now do it's utmost through its submarines to enbarrass Holland and to make the commandsering as costly as possible to the allies. But by the seizure Germany is denied the oppor- tunity of claiming that Holland has become party to the affair, which would have been possible hadthe agree ment been approved. ana which 1t is believed would have resulted had Hol- land not been in the unfortunate geo. graphical position which it is The allies, however, haze the satisfaction Eof knowing that they have pro- Eceeded as they had right to un- der international law and they cannot fail to get the respect Of Holland for 50 doing.

NEW ENeLANp COAL.

Without beating about the bush but coming right straight to the point, the government railroad Administrators have told the shipping board what IS necessary to prevent a shortage of coal 1n New England next winter, and Of course what the reason for it wss in the months which have just passed.
 This statement was to the effect that more vessels must be utilized for the bringing of coal to this section during the spring and summer months. If such is not done it will mean that New England will be short by three and d half million tons of bituTninoIs coal alone next winter.
 Two-thirds of the coal for this part of the country is received in normal times by water. Taking away ocean going tugs and coal carrying vessels last year interfered seriously with this traffic. New England and the rail- roads likewise know what the result was. Not only was there scarcity oi coal of all kinds but the burden ol getting a larger portion of the fuel here was thrown upon the railroad lines when they were not in posi- ton to handle it. They were having trouble enough looking after the other demands which were being made oi them without having this work thrust upon them. And 1t is as. plain as, dss that the same thing is going to be re peated unless different course is followed.
 New England ought to stock witt coal when conditions are most favor able to it. and they will be from now on and 1t is to be seriously hoped. thai fhe shipping board will recognize ths part which it should play in contrib nting to this need

 But what can she do with Key no1ds?" demanded his daughter. He won't go to dances and he's sick of movie and she can't take him shopping or make him knit and she doesn't t know where to hire a bronco and if she 1 did the clothes poles are in the way in the back yard and she's sure the po- ! lice would arrest Reynolds if he rode down d street the same way he's used 1 to riding around the ranch!"

Apart from the raids, which are oAe means of seeking information, and are not more numerous than they were in the same period last year, the main burden of fighting has fallen upon the airmen. Though limited in their op- portunities by bad weather, they have done splendid work in reconhoitring, in bombing the German defenses in attacking aerodromes and in air f1gh$ ing. During three weeks 120 German airmen and their machines have been disposed of. The value of that achieve ment will be seen should there be an attempt at a big advance. The work of our airmen is destroying the Ger man power of observation, and is put ting an enormous strain upon the aefoplane industry of Germany. Situe ated as they are, the Germans are al- most wholly. dependent upon work in the air for effective service and their service of scouts is being blinded just when the calls upon it promise to be heaviest.-Wes Westminster Gazette.

Surely the current pronunciation of the word "rations' is an example, of the introduction of military phraseol- ogy into civilian use, caused by the war. The word has always been prs nounced in the army with the "a sound as in fashion" The Concise Oxford Dictionary gives both sounds

Dr.. Lupu, a member of the Rumanian

Dr.. Lupu, member of the Ruman parliament, said that the Rumanian woman was miserable if there were no children, and the honor of the fam fly was in proportion to it's size. More than 14,000 Rumanian men and wome1 in Pennsylvania had been condemned to death by the Hungarians because of their patriotic conduct in aiding the Rumanian army when it entered Tran sylvania, and nearly one million of the seven millions of people in Rumania had already died. There is no way of retreat" said the speaker. "Rumania is trapped, and there is no possibility of helping her, but the Rumanian says: God is powerful and. believing in the inherent justice of things, we must hope that the day will come which will bring happier times to the Rumanian people, .'-London Times. .~hf, :

Now, as an Eng1ishman hav- ing some acquaintance with the Welsh alphabet. I may explain (what, of course, every Welshman -knows) that in Welsh the digraph tn is reserved for the sound (known to shorthand writers as "ith'9 heard in the Eng fish word thin: for the allied but sep- arate. sound heard in then, thee the digraph dd is used; thus, if the letters this occurred they would always be sounded same as in thistle, and the word garden is pronounced gar'then, Consequently dda in Welsh is very similar to the English word that with the final omitted, and, perhaps; the vowel slightly heightened and so we get Rhon'tha which, I take it, does not rhyme with ".. .eonda."
