London, April "a Battlefield vents
are oyershadowed by The possibility
that the little kingdom OF Holland may
be engulfed in the war, for Hollands
entry into the struggle would upset all
west front strategy.
Holland adjoins the present battle
field, blockades German access to the
sea from the Rhine, the Mouse and
the Scheldt rivers and cuts off direct
railroad communication with Germany
from d large part Of the Belgian front,
All communication with Ostcnd,
Client, Brugcs, Brussels and Antwerp
has to be carried on by the way Of AK
la.Chapelle. That is why the Pan.
Germans have been trying to force
Holland to give up its neutrality and
to open up 10 German use the network
OF railroads, canals and rivers which
would make the German front in Bel
GUM strategically more powerful.
This assault upon the integrity OF
Holland has not been popular with tho
German people themselves. But it is
he old story of military necessity
for the Pan-Germans. To them Iiol-
lands refusal TO permit German travel
TO be carried across Holland to the
German front in Belgium and the
Dutch aCquicaCenc" in our ship rcqui-
sition were the only opportunities for
attempting to force The Hague gov
nme to max" concessions to Ger
many which would end Hollands ncu-
trality.
The people OF Holland don't wish
war. But, like the people OF Belgium,
they are sensitive of their honor and
they will fight the moment their ncu-
trality is violated, even though they

EDUCATING THE GARDENER.

In the older, leisurey days before life In
America was geared to maximum speed, house
holders who had plots of ground at command
and did not take the trouble to plant gardens
We're generally rated as OF the shlftless OF
bloated- bondholder class. In the specialization
OF industry which has changed our lie and
habits Of late, gardening was coming to be lett
to men who made a business OF 1t; and the
voracity of omniverous insect hordes contribut-
ed to make the amateur agriculturist wonder IT
gardens were worth their seed and the work
and worry they cost. The fact that they had
value measured in health as well as money,
and that 'contentment and peace of mind grew
there as well as edible products was often
overlooked. Now, however, under compulsion
of changed conditions, even city jewellers are
finding the profit and joy in trim and thriving
gardens; and many of them, it may be added
are acquiring by experience some elementary
knowledge about the mysteries of vegetable life
they would not otherwise have gained.
One excited amateur appealed to a neighbor
more advanced in knowledge of growing plants
with the statement that he had hoed, killed.
watered and anti-bugged his potatoes with un-
renting assiduity. He had given his best at
tention to them, fostered them, nursed them,
waged Hunish war on all their known and dis
coverable enemies and had really brought them
up by hand. And yet, as ne declared with bit
terness, their leaves were following, their
stalks were whitening and they gave every evil
dence of depraved determination to die on his
hands. And, worst of all, thre never had been
ia sign of any potatoes growing on the vines.
AS soon as the knowing neighbor was able to
edge word into this vehement TRADE against
tubers in general and these shameless plants IN
particular he informed the railer that his po-
tatoes were all right and had done all that
could be expected of them. The matter with
them was that they were ripe, but in order to
gather potatoes one has to dig for them under
the plant; they do not grow on the vine, like to-
matoes.
For the amateur gardener, it is to live and
learn.

want whose wages are part only
board and lodging being the rest of it
but certainly he is not much better
paid. If he is married man, and if he
has children to support, the protests
of the customers who find the hot
towels not hot enough, or too hot, and
the outcries of those whose hair has
been cut too long at the foretop, are
not his only troubles.
BARRIERS cannot force you to have
yourself shaved at 20 cents or to have
your hair cut at 40 cents. There's no
law against long hair. Razors, their
durability considered, are cheap de-
vices for getting rid of the daily out
cropping of undesired beard. Soap is
not expensive, or brushes costly. II
experience is bought dearly, even
'bloodily, nearly anyone can learn
eventually to shave himself without
having as result to deny at the of,
flee, to an incredulous audience, that
he participated in cutting ARRAY
Learning how many to be tedious and
painful, but a BARRIERS education is
not completed in a day. The public
does not know just how and where
he practices until he acquires, deft-
ness, but very probably he Sits many
a throat in learning. The names OF
dead men, for all we know, may lie
heavily upon his conscience. The faces
of dead men may confront him In his
dreams. If that is true, SIS a week, OF
$23 a week, is sorry recompense.

The Case of the Barber

Louisville Courier: A great deal is
said in jest to his detriment, but the
barber really isn't highly paid man
who gets rich while talking to his
customers about baseball and
the races.
1t is stated in connection with the
raise in prices in barbeTshops In the
central part of Louisville that bar
bers average earnings are SIS week.
1t is not necessary for anyone who
doubts that statement to &C
cept 1t. Anyone who wishes
to ascertain what a barber
earns may find out how long he is in
the chair when the barber is shaving
him or cutting his hair, and, by easy
arithmetic, calculate roughly what
the BARRIERS gross takings would be
if he were employed constantly doing
his working hours. The journeyman
gets GO cents when he takes in 81.
Evidently his is not get-rich-quick
calling.
The barber is a human being who
does not exist only amid the mingled
perfumes of lotions, hair tonics and
shampoo soaps and mixtures. He goes
home, in many cases, after his days
work ends. There is, of course, no
place like home, but there are places
to which one might go after working
hours that would be less expensive
than a home nowadays A barber at
SIS a week, not found" is perhaps as
well paid as the average domestic ser,

which Chancellor Won Bethmann

whereas she has brought pandemo
mum to earth to crafty her lust for
power and glory, she shall now dress
in paper, walk in paper. sleep upon
paper, sit on paper furniture, travel

AUGUST, 1914

America is proud of her strength
and she will give it without stint. 1t
will turn the scale. But 1T is for US
to remember that our allies were
first in the field and to be modest
over the part fortune permits US to
play.
We cannot pay too high a tribute
to France and Britain. to all our
allies. We owe them debt of graft
tude, admiration, and fraternal de-
votion which honor demands shall
be met with all we have to give. 1t
is our privilege to stand at their
side. Let us be humbly grateful for
it. 1t is our privilege to lift part
of the burden they carried so long
alone. It is our good fortune to be
able to acquit ourselves well in our
common trial and to help substan-
tally toward it's successful issue.
Our thought ought to be today OF
what our allies have gloriously done
and of what we shall have the honor
of doing in their high company. Our
hope will constantly be that the no.
BILE coInradeship Of war will bind us
in bonds of lasting friendship through
centuries OF cooperation. From these
days, when our best blood is ming
ling, should come a community Of
memories, of thought, of ideals and
purposes which shall make each peo-
pie strong in the strength of us all,
which shall make the city of our
hope safe against any ma-auder and
assure to our common heritage OF
civilization future Of peace and
progress.

TODAYs BIZ OF VERSE

THE LOST ROAD.
/ wish that might go away,
Just two good chums together;
AS we went afar yesterday,
In morning glory weather
The skies today just blue,
The branches as low-swnging,
IS when / walked away with you
Where the wild birds were singing.
TIE dew was on the uplands then,
The ryulet calling
about the powders in the glen,
And apple blooms were falling
The roads were ribbons, stretching far
behind US and before us,
And there was not cloud to mar
The bueness arching Ger US.
And we had youth, o. splendid youth
Which set pulses singing
And let no thought of years or ruth
Come where bloomed boaghs were swinging.
And I void that we might go back
And walk that way together,
Along youths demonstrating track,
In morning glory weather.
