MUST PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE.

While we have been giving the toy making establishments in tnis coun- try a chance 10 do a greater business and encouraged others to engage in that line of production by having the toys made in Germany kept out of the United States. just the same as the makers of dyestuffs have been stimulated 10 greater effort. it can be readily understood that the toy mak- Ing business which has been devel- Dped here should not be allowed to awindle away after the war Is over.
 Toys are going 10 be required just ls much if not more than ever, and Inc situation here cannot be far diff lerent than that in England where United States Consul General Skinner ln a recent report declares that great possibilities will exist in the metal toy trade after the war, with a large demand for mechanical con struetional toys of the type which be- fore the war were imported from France and other European countries
 There has never been any good req. son why the toy making business or the dyemalxing business should not bt conducted on more extensive lines ir this country. There is no question but what there is room for them. Wt have the raw material and the de. mand for the finished goods. The cap ital will be found available if it car be assured of fair chance and the industrial expansion which will follow will be in keeping with the ambitions Of the country. We have seen the i'm.

RAPIDLY NEARING THE END.

The pressure which the allies have been bringing 10 bear upon Turkey and Austria Hungary has had it's effect Turkey has been practically crushed militarywise. and being shut off from supplies when Bulgaria surrendered its action in throwing up it's hands is only what has for some time been DOT tended. Turkey has had it's back against the wall for a long time. The endeavor to hold on in the hope that the rleas Of the central powers for an armistice and peace would be able to obtain easier terms than would be se- cured through separate action or by following the course adopted by Bull raria amounted to nothing. and now with it's fighting forces broken there Is nothing 10 do but to acknowledge defeat and submit.
 And what is true of Turkey is to a large degree the case with the dual monarchy. There interior conditions are decidedly bad. It is impossible to stagger along under them especially in view Of the situation or the bat tlefronts where the allies are rapidly retaining lost territory and over- coming such resistance as Austria Hungary Is able to make.
 It is fully recognized that Germany Is in no position to give any further help and likewise in no condition tc punish it for any separate action which it may take. Understanding the in- evitable there is therefore nothing else for it 10 do but to take its medicine stop the slaughter and begin as soor as possible to start the reconstruction Not being able 10 go on it is time thai it should strive 10 hasten the end anC the action by Turkey and Austria which means that they must surren. der, simply forecasts similar action b, Germany.

THE PRESIDENTS UNJUST PLEA.

Voters throughout the country, even though they have been entirely in sympathy with the plea made some time ago regarding the adjournment of politics, are not overlooking the un- just course which is now being pur- sued by the president in departing from his proclaimed attitude and claiming that only democrats can be safely sent to congress.
 How wrong this is is pointed out by the New York World. an administra- ton paper. the editor of which has been sent to Europe by the president on a special mission. wheE it says, ''When this congress met. a year ago last March. the house of representa- tives was so evenly dividedly politi- cally that it's organization became a personal rather than a party matter. If Mir. Mann could have commanded the votes of all the republicans and Independents of republican leanings, he and not Mr. Clark would have been speaker In spite of several deaths and resignations. the party division remains so close to this day that if republicans were disposed to take ad- vantage of absenteeism they might easily control affairs.
 Considering the fact that the great majority of republicans and demo- crats in both branches have sustained the administration in all its war meas ures. the necessity for a reelection of a democratic congress as such and solely for the purpose of war is not apparent"
 The World likewise points out that republicans have been among the most loyal supporters of the president while his own party men have fed Tn unreas- enable antagonisn.
 To call for nothing but democrats under such a situation gan result in nothing but resentment and if 1t should result in more republicans be- ing elected than might have been had no such political plea been made it would cause no surprise. And the World is not the only administration packer which looks at it that way.

CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED.

While Germany and the nations which have been associ1ted with it in the war are realizing that they cannot win and are asking for halt on :he fighting lines and for the conclusion of peace, there can be no disoositi0n or inclination to put to one side the long series of carefully planned and exc Cuted horrors which have been com mitted since the opening of the war. There has been no regard paid to the jules of war. In desperate effort 10 win at any cost they have proceeded not only to violate all provisions of international law but to indulge in atrocities and depredations which could only be expected of savages. These deeds are not confined to any one of them but have been committed ny all, but it is thoroughly understood where the leadership has been and what re sponsibility has gone with it.
 Documents have come into the pos sessicn of the allies which show that the German commanders ordered methodical destruction of property and even the poisoning of wells. The peo- pie Of the invaded countries have been treated so frightfully that it is not only impossible to describe it but it even outdoes the imagination. Pris- cners have been incredibly starved tortured and murdered. The horrors which have been committed by Ger many, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey will stand out as the most ilendish crimes of history and the worst of it is that the responsibility for it must be attributed 10 the nation which has served as the leader re- sardless of its boasted civilization.
 Such conduct is never going 10 be forgotten and it cannot be over looked when it comes to arranging the terms of peace. The course which was considered necessary to their sue l cess has proved their undoing. The world has been set soidlv against il and action must be taken which vii forever prevent all possibility or its resumption.

PERILS OF THE BEACH


 'Fm off those beach picnics for life" the young man told the pretty girl. If anybody asks me to another I'm going to set the police on him. It's no way to treat a friend There are so many other things you can do to him to get rid of him that are quicker and far less unpleasant. Why, a beach picnic, when one is trying to be disagreeabie, is positively the resort of lazy mind ]"
 T take it you have not been having a merry time." the pretty girl sug- gested.
 "say!" breathed the young man. I've been having time that took up all my attention, anyway. The crowd gave me explicit directions about finding the particular beach where I was to join them and I found a dozen other parties. &nd they all looked alike
 Finally one unit some distance off waved at me and waved back. Then all the girls at that spot. waved at me and I sighed relief. When I go with in shouting distance somebody below ed for me 10 bring some stones to shield the fire. waving generously to the south. Off in the far distance made out 8 pile of stones ana wish ing to be agreeable I trrdged down there: It took some time and the rocks grew bigger and bigger as I approach ed.
 Tt was a hot night, too Staggering and perspiring, I bore those. stones back to the crowd that had hailed me and they were very much obliged tc get the stones-but it vas not my crowd! I will say that they apologized and tried to explain to me, how they had taken me for person named Charley.

EDITORIAL NOTES,

When the Austrians admit reverse 1t appears to be expressing it lightly.
 The need of reestabIishing an east ern front is becoming less and less each day.
 The trouble with politics Is ad- journed" is that only the president knew there was a time fuse attached.
 Turkey was losing it's army so fast that there would not have beeE enou gh left to surrender if it had not made haste.
 From all indications Austria Hun gary realizes that, it cannot keep it's forces fighting the inevitable much longer.
 It is apparently the opinion of Aus tria Hungary that the terms of peace, however harsh they may be, will never be lighter
 Great changes are said to be taking place in the central powers but it is noticeable that the 4mperors are still hanging on.
 The man on the corner says: Being reasonable as well as seasonable shows real efficiency when it comes to weather offerings.
 Everything points to the fact that Bulgaria when 1t surrendered knew Austria's condition fully as well, if not better, than it did
 The talk about peace didn't block the fourth Liberty loan and it will not frustrate the effort to make the war work campaign success What an awakening must have taken place in Austria, and what a stimulating effect that appeal to hurry peace must have had upon Germany |? IL would be too bad of course to make Austria Hungary. or Germany for that matter. suffer through any | delay on the part of the allied nations i in rushing forth with an armistice.
 One of the greatest mistakes of the age will be made by the democrats if they think they are going to get re- publicans to vote the democratic ticket as a demonstration of their loy- alty to the nation.
 Try as they will the democrats of Connecticut are unable to show a single convincing reason why Spel- lacy should make as good a governor as Holcomb. and certainly there can be no thought of going backward. The dsmoeratie national committee is indeed desperate when it appeals for the Italian vote by telling through the Italian papers that 1t was Presi dent Wilson and the democratic ad- ministration which loaned three guar ters of a billion to Italy.
 Daniels praises New England be. cause the democrats want New Eng. land votes at this time, Dut he takes good care not to spend any time tell ing about how much has been done bl the democrats for New England. It. hard to do the impossible.

 q began 10 stroll toward some of the groups in a tentative way, hoping to recognize somebody's back hair or some fellows ears. Just as hesi- tated near one group a sweet girlish voice pierced the summer light. Oh cried little Eva, T believe that man there must be that poor fellow we fed last time we were out here! He walks just like him. I expect he hasn't had a meal for ever and ever so long let's give the poor thing a treati'
 And, snatching handful of sand wiches and. plums, little Eva came bounding after me. I say after be- cause I had turned and fled in a panic. Hungry as I was, I baked at being fed by any stranget and philanthropic young person who undoubtedly would coo over me as she did it.
 "'Waiti Waiti' shfieked little Eva piteously, all her kind intentions thwarted, but I bent my head lower and ran harder-and I ran full tilt in to the back Of a fat man from another party who. was about to make aSspeech or something. I knocked both his wind and the speech deftly from with in him and, giving a gasping. grunt in his dismay, be collapsed on the sand while, with his bulk removed from my path, I took header right into the embers of their picnic fire They were peevish about that fire.

JUDGMENT

! think of the homes Flanders
The little happy homes
Raped by the hell-mOuth's Vomited iron,
Pitiful heaps of stones.
Raising their cry to Heaven
Lifting their voice to Him
Who mastered the storm on Galiiee,
To judge the unspeakable sin.
And I think of the birds Of Flanders
Their little, happy notes
ChOlled at their birth in horror!
Slain in their gasping Threats!
And think Of the hearts Of Flanders,
Their happiness turned to gloom;
Bowed to the earth in sorrow,
Menaced by death and doom.
Their ghosts in the twilight whmper-
When the dead day draws away,
Make lonely wall in the slaughtered
Where the peasants stop to pray.
THEIR wall will rise at evening
And blend with the cries Of them
That lie in their blood in No Mans
Ruined wrecks Of men!
t will rise till the God Of Nations
Hears at His Great White Throne,
And Hen summon the Hun-the muir
derer
Of hearts and birds and homes.
