Switzerland &C an Ange, of Mercy.

In the early days OF August, 1914,
when the furics OF war descended upon
Europe, Switzerland realized that II
would be her lot to act as angel of
mercy the war sufferers and prison
ers Of her belllgerent noighbors. The
little Alpine republic was herself
obliged.to arm against possible viola-
lions of her territory; she was forced
into an economic neutrality which de-
mands ever-lnoensing sacrifices, and
which at this time has become an Issue
of utmost importance, writes Marie
Widmer In the American Review of
Reviews. But, Notwithstanding her
own heavy burdens and the serious
food problems confronting her, Swift
er.and has not for one instant paused
in her charitable activities on behalf
of suffering mankind, for she is proud
md grateful that such a high alid no
bic task has been allotted to Der.
Switzerland, the home OF true de-
nocracy, is, moreover, the land whore
that most benevolent institution, tie
Red Cross, had It's foundation.

LIABILITY FOR AGENTS ACTS
One Should Ascertain Limit of Rcspon.
slhillty Before DeIeeatina Powers,
Says Arthur Train.

Most men think they can get along
without a lawyer. Arthur Train, the
famous author and lawyer. shows in an
article in the American Magazine how
foolish this belief is. He says:
1.-The most dangerous practice of or
binary business, or even of ordinary
domestic life, is the employment of an
agent or servant without first ascer-
ia ming how far you can be made liable
Tor contracts or purchases which he
may make. Suppose that you have
allowed your hired man to buy lawn
mower and grass seed at the corner
store, that the storekeeper has called
you up on the telephone, and that you
have told him that the order was all
right. At the end of the month you
may perhaps receive a bill for all sorts
of implements and supplies which you
have never received. Are you liable?
Many things which you absolutely for
bid your agent to do may yet be with
in what the law calls the apparent
scope of his authority
IN plain language this simply means
that, when you employ another TO act
for you. you are bound by his acts and
agreements so long as they are such
rs a reasonable man, In view of the
general nature Of his employment,
would assume from all the eircum-
stances TO be authorized. Obviously,
If the shoe is on the other foot, and
you have yourself delivered goods TO
somebody else's foreman, in accord
anee with regular custom. II would
he unfair FOR the employer to refuse
to pay you for the goods on the ground
That he has instructed the foreman 10
make 10 more purchases. when. he has
given you no notice to that effect. Just
what acts are apparently within the
scope Of an agents authority. is a
question which even learned judges
find II hard TO decide"

From the Tribune:
Dewitt Albright, who had been
home on a thirty-day harvest fur
Tough, left Sunday morning for Pen
sacola, Florida, where he is stationed.
He expects to be assigned to either
sea duty or to work at another sta
ton in a short time.
Ole Dimes has received word from
his partner, T. X. Wilson, that Ger
trude's condition has become very
grave and that it is feared that her
passing away is but a question Of a
few days. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Wilson and the children
went to Okee, Wisconsin, several
weeks ago to visit relatives. While
there Gertrude was taken i'll and some
two weeks ago Mr., Wilson was sum-
moned. Gertrude's trouble affects
her nerve and she is gradually grow
ing weaker. The sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the sor-
rowing parents and all hope that
there may yet be a change for the
better and the little girls life may
be spared.

The following letter from Robert

Bookings, is furnished us by his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. O. d. Plumb, of Ar
lington:
Dear Mother and All: We arrived
in New York again and it sure does
seem good to get here. / expect you
were expecting me home as l said
would come, but could only get Z days
and we did not go in to drydock as
we expected, and they said We should
make another trip before winter, then
we would be here for about three
months, and let's hope l will get a
furlough then as | am very anxious to
get home and see you.
Ernest Prentice and | had our grips
all packed and ready to leave. They
said they thought we would go in dry
dock and we went on liberty and
wired for money so we would not
have to wait. Then an inspector
came on board and looked the ship
over and he said we would have to
make another trip first so We went up
to see how many days We could get
and were told that seven was all we
could get. Believe me We were dis
gusted to think that we had wired for
money then did not get the furlough,
But l would rather have Is or 20 days
or more than only I days. So by get
ting the $50, l will not have to have
money when l get back next trip.
We had some trip too. We were
three weeks going and three coming,
and was standing watches four hours
