The Street ORGAN Deserts LONDON.

It is quite seldom that street organ
is seen or heard in London nowadays,
and the very few about are not ground
and trundled by an italian or his wife.
The Italians have left their organs and
gone to fight their country's battles !;
their women folk trundled and ground
the family organ in London streets un-
til air raids decided them to start on
country roads. In consequence, the
provinces have had, and are likely
again to have, more music than they
ever bargained for. It's an ill wind
that blows nobody any good; at any
rate, the children VIII be of that opin-
ion, but it is to be hoped that the lit
tie girls of Soho will not forget how
to Christian Science Monitor.

We were of the opinion at first that
this was only a temporary condition,
but after few days we saw a
slaughter bordering on insanity under

day It was always the same. Using
Verdun as their base, the French con-

troops They had marshaIed their

forts by the use Of field railways.

Soon one of us would have to let go.

Of the Hohenzollerns and of Prussian

women's Political sy mpathies.

Woman's remarkable strength In the
politics of New York State Is made
more than ever evident by the com
plete returns of the recent enrolment.
OF the newly enfranshised sex more
than two-thirds of million took the
trouble to 60 to the polls to gain the
privilege Of having something to say
about the nominations that will soon
be made by their respective parties.
What Is even more interesting to
politicians, whether in Jones Forks,
N. T.. or Washington, d. G., is the
fact that If eagerness to get into the
game means anything-and it always
has in politics - the figures shine
brightly for the Republican party.
OF the 679.61S women who are quail
fied to vote at the primaries there
are 127, All more Republicans than
Democrats. The enrolled male Repub-
licans outnumber the enrolled male
Democrats by 1O8,Ss7--a figure which
would look large enough IL 1t did not
have to stand comparison with the
astonishing majority Of the distaf
side Of the Republican house. The
table showing the enrolment of men
and women in the four leading parties
will cause cheers or groanS:

York in the year 1851, for which
the complete figures are now avail

the country exceeded In total popula-

census Of 1910. Newark, N. j., a
great and rich town, had in all only
half as many persons within its boun-
daries eight years ago. The size Of
this army of learners can scarcely be
grasped. The number of individuals
who marched in the monster indie

The German Report on Our Men ip
France.

Two things are conspicuous In the
official report made by Lieutenant
vow BERG, German intelligence ofYicer,
who examined American prisoners Of
war, and whose conclusions have
fallen into the hands Of our army.
They are the admirable conduct Of
our men undergoing questioning, and
the respect which their interrogation
shows for them as individuals and
as soldiers.
The document reveals in what II
contains as well as in what Is not In
1t the discretion of American officers
and men, whose responses to inquiries
In turn reflect the highest credit on
the policies Of their General ofllcers.
1t Is plain that none Of the prisoners
knew more than 1t was necessary
for him to know Of the disposal Of
our troops, their strength, the posi-
lions they hold and the plans Of their
superiors. This ignorance protected
their comrades. What the prisoners
knew they obviously concealed effec-
lively. Their answers caused the ex-
aminer to record their lack Of knowl-
edge: and lack of knowledge Is
highly desirable attribute to a mill
tary prisoner.
OF the men as individuals VoN
BERG says 1.-The prisoners In general
make an alert and pleasing appear
ance"; and of them as soldiers he
writes, 1.-The second American division
may be classified as a very good divi-
sion, perhaps even as assault troops"
nd they "at present lack only neces-
sary training to make them redOubt-
able opponents" A British or a
French officer could scarcely have
said more.
The genesis of this document, it's
confidential nature, and the necessity
its author was under Of learning and
reporting only the truth. give 1t q
peculiar authority. 1t IL unfortunate
that any Of our men we're captured.
but as this had to be, 1t 10 gratifying
| to know that their demeanor In mis-
| fortune was all that the most patri-
otto American, in khaki or out OF 1t,
could hope.
