Lake IIopongo.

into La Libertad are much traversed
| by oXcarts, as La Libertad is a great
| port for San Salvador.
The mountain scenery on the way
to Santa Tecla, $3.50 feet above sea
level and but IL miles from San Sal
vador, is inspiring. The great coast
range of mountains sends out giant
spurs and hogbacks to the very shores
of the Pacific, and between these lie
numerous watercourses that run to the
sea. The region, of which the extinct
volcano. Quetzaltepeque, is magnifi-
cent feature, is very mountainous and
rugged and is intercepted by magnifi-
cent and fertile valleys.
Santa Tecla, also known as Nueva
| San Salvador, lies at the base of the
mighty volcano San Salvador. 1t is
connected by railroad and also by. a
| fine avenue with the nearby capital /;
1t will be the most important city be-
tween San Salvador and La Libertad
when the railroad spur to that port
illupinated at night, has attractive
drives, fine public buildings. churches,
barracks, hospitals, beautiful resi-
dences, villas, and suburban homes
and estates, magnifcently kept up,
with fine lawns and gardens and all
try homes. From social viewpoint
it is almost a part of San Salvador.
The city has population of about
10000; it owes its origin to an earth
quake which overwhelmed the capital
about two generations ago.
San Salvador Handsome City.
There is nothing of the 'dolce far
niente" type about San Salvador which,
with its envirOns, has population of
65,0OO With the exception of Pana-
ma City, San Salvador has more au-
tomobiles than any other Central
American city. Moving pictures, too,
are popular in the capital and through
out the republic. The city attracts
by its beautiful, shaded parks with
their fine sculptured monuments, the
splendid national palace, the cathedral,
the National university and the Poly
technic institute.
The cathedral presents perhaps
more the typical French renaissance
style than the typical cathedral in the
capitals of the new world, though it
is most ornate and beautiful work of
architecture. Altogether San Saliva
dor has distinct European note in
the air of its shops and stores. The
broad streets, fine cement curbs, the
ornate, low=lying buildings with their
handsomely grilled and latticed win
dows, the beautiful, semitropical parks
with their luxuriant foliage and COM
Portable seats, where the visitor may
watch the parade of fashion and the
many cosmopolitan elements of the
city, engage in social chats, make new
acquaintances, and listen to an excel
lently rendered concert-all these rem
der stay in the capital pleasant
event. r
Forty miles to the northwest is San
ia Ana, second city of the republic,
and rightly accounted one of the lead
ing cities of Central America. Santa
Ana will be the first important city of
Salvador to be reached by rail from
the north when the line to connect
with the Guatemalan systems is built.
The city has population of between
$4,000 and $4,000 and an elevation Of
2,1O0 feet. 1t is lively, prosperous,
well-ordered community, with an air
of assured stability. Its business
houses are many.

Air.Raid Siuns.

Londoners can tell by looking at the
night sky whether to expect Gotha
raids or whether to go comfortably to
bed. If the moon shines and the night
is clear he studies the clouds. Should
they be at some height racing from the
east it is safe to assume that the
Gothas will not come, for they cannot
make progress against west wind,
which holds them back from the Brit
ish shore. If, however, the clouds are
flying from the west the Londoner pre-.
pares for lively evening.

Military training for baseball play
ers in the. American league will be
dropped this season. President John

continuing the drilling is because the
clubs will be unable to get drill SER
geants.

of that now because of the draft.

NewfoundIand,s Wealth.

As producers of wealth the farmers
are so far ahead of any other class or
element of the population of the Do
minion that it is rather difficult for a
Canadian to realize that there is any
large party of the North American
continent where like conditions do not
prevail. And yet Canadians have only
to cross the threshold of their eastern
front door, and visit their fellow Brit
ons of the ancient colony in the gulf,
to come upon such conditions. In New
foundland it is the fisheries and not
the farms that hold first place as
sources of wealth. Many of the fish,
ermen are farmers so that the people
on the land have a share in both

OUR CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
(New. York worId.N

(NeW' 10rk WOrldl
 As incoming ships discharge in increas- ing numbers their cargoes of wounded men we are made to realize more vividly how grievously the nations of Europe have suf- fered in more than four years of war. The sight of young fellows in uniform who have been crippled for life, who have lost arms or legs, cannot fail to arouse sympa- thy wherever they go. They will not lack for the best medical care and kindly atten- ton. The government will look after their present needs and keep watch over them in hospitals until they reach the maximum of recovery So far as these thousands of sol diers can be restored to sound condition it will be done
 But the day must come when most of these men will return to their homes and seek opportunities to earn their living, as in the days before the war. Very many of them will never be able to begin where they left off or to resume their old occu- pations. They must start over again as best they may be able, for men of their honor able records will not be content to be other than self-supporting. Allowances and an nuities, graded acording to their injuries, could never make up to them loss of pride or self-respect.
 It will be the right of all these wounded men to work, wherever they are able, and conquer the disabilities they have incurred in the service of their country. In a special sense they will be entitled not merely to generous words and thoughts bestowed upon them today, but to places where they can command wages and salaries like their old associates. The barest recognition of what they have done for others who stayed behind should win for them more than equality in seeking employment, and assure them, after the excitement of wartime IS over, in the hearts of grateful people un- failing admiration.

Two years ago there were hundreds of thousands of young men in the United States who had never handled a gun. The nation had pretty generally forgotten how to shoot, and the effort of few to establish gun clubs and introduce rifle shooting as a clean sport, met with little encourage ment. This condition has now been changed: the typical young American knows SO we'll how to handle gun that it seems almost inevitable that rifle shooting will be added to the list of popular sports And if a name is needed to symbolize the sport. it will perhaps be possible to deal with the subject more appropriately than is the case in Switzerland, where the patron of rifle shooting is William Tell, who did his shooting with bow and arrow. History provides Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett and literature offers Natty Bumpo, other wise 'Leatherstocking.
