DR. pEsSOA'S VISIT.

The visit to this country of Dr. Pes soa, president -elect of the republic of Brazil, is one of no small significance He is to be the guiding head of that country for the next four years and ii is gratifying to note in such state ments as he has made in this country that he is desirous that the two coun- tries should work together for the betterment of the world
 Brazil is large country. It con- tained much more territory than the United States though the development thereof and it's population is much less. It is the leading South Ameri- can country and there can be no ques- ton but what much can be gained for the benefit of both and the com. mon good of all the countries in tht Americas by the maintenance of close and cordial relations.
 Brazil has shown that it stands fol better things and the attitude that i taken by the one who will hold thu reins of government there makes i plain that there is a desire to bette the relations wherever possible ant through the cooperative action of thu

 Serbia from one end of the country to the other has been flooded with cheap Austrian and German goods. How they got in one cannot learn but every shop window in the villages from Uskub to Semendria contains cheap mirrors, toilet articles, knives and gimcracks of every description Made in Austria" Many of the articles are backed with colored pictures under celluloid of the former Austrian and German emperors in all their re- galia. There seems to be little prej- udice against German and Austrian goods aming the peasants and village dwellers of Serbia.
 The Serbian hates the Bulgarian as venomously as ever but he does not sing morning hymn of hate against Germany OF Austria. The country is flooded with pictures of atrocities
 committed by Rulgarians upon Ser bians The former Emperor Charles picture still adorns the local police headquarters.
 In Belgrade there is bitterness against the Austrians, especially among the better class of people whose
 homes were systematically despeile6 1 by Austrian officers who shipped six

 Each train was composed of approx imately thirty cars. Three hundred pianos were included in the loot. Bel
 grade and Northern Serbia are flooded with the depreciated Austrian curren cy, in fact there apparently is more Austrian money in circulation thai 1 Serbian.

for which the only institution stands. It is the old failiar story of Yale never appealing to her sons or pre- senting her claims to her friends in vain. All she has to do is to ake her wants clear and her stewardship convincing. The rest of the job be- longs to the treasurer, the job of counting and investing the money.
 It is this splendid show of gener- osity, taken into consideration with the bestowal of honorary degrees to men who have snoWn distinctive service to state and country that tempts one to dream of a Yale whose position of authority in the educa- tional world would be superior to all. It may not be practical but we have never heard of anybody being injured by kindly dreaming. Yale has always approximated this dream by keeping her tuition charges as low as possible, far below the cost of manufacturing an education. It has been her dream to make her

NO REGARD FOR PUBLIC OR
 CONTRACT.

It is the same old story in the strike of the trolleymen in Massachusetts; the public get no consideration what ever. In a number of cities the street railway service is at a stand still. Workmen are having all kinds of trouble getting to the places oi business and efforts to provide other facilities are coming far from meet ing the situation. The result is a general stagnation and aside from the fact that the public is being badly in convenienced by the action that has been taken, the strike appears to have been resorted to without justi- fication and in violation of an agree ment by the union. In this connec- ton it is significant fact that the president of the brotherhood has been working diligently for a number of days in an enGeavor to get the men to return to their work and threatening
 to take away their charter if they do not.
 Regardless of the merits of the mat ters which led up to the strike. cer- tain demands and the use of hand reg isters on the open cars. the trolley men are under contract to submit al grievances to arbitration. That agree
 ment was yiokt1ef. when the strike was called and continues to be as long as the strike is maintained. Not only is a gross injustice being done to the company but an even greater one is being done to the innocent public
 There is no reason why the troublt should not be settled by means of ar i bitration, to which the men had agreed 1 to submit such matters, without in i terrupting the service. without caus' | ing loss to themselves or to the com
 pany. It is making a scrap of pa | per of their contract and a disregard l for the orders of the head of tn
 brotherhood in endeavoring to SC 1 them right that makes it impossible
 to arouse any sympathy in their be
 half. Rather is the action of the strik
 CTS a cause for public indignation.

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.

If President Wilson had adhered to the idea of not calling a special session of congress until he returned from Europe the affairs of this government would have been in a wonderful tan gle. As it is none too much time was allowed for getting the big appropria- ton bills in shape for passage before the time arrives when the money pro- vided thereby is going to be needed to keep the departments functioning.
 The fiscal year of the government opens the first of July. Certain of the big appropriations have been approved and others will be before that time, but those bills do not become law un- til they have received the signature of the president. It is expected that President Wilson will leave France Thursday and plans have been made for the quickest possible passage home, the George Washington having taken aboard an extra amount Of fuel so that it can be operated under forced draft and the shortest route will be selected. But even though congress has had none too much time to get the appropriation measures ready for approval or disapproval it is evident that they. will be ready be- fore the president will be in a posi-
 ton to pass thereon. for it is not probable that he can reach Washing ton inside of a week.
 Just how many days it will be after
 the first of July before the president gets back home remains to be seer
 but it will be necessary for those al the helm to do their best to keeT 1 things going in the meantime unti some action is taken by the chic 1 executive making the money available For many reasons which have direc

Its a duck of an old house, with shrubbery and fruit trees. and once there was garden. Allan has had It spaded, but neither of us had a minute to give to it.'
 Where will you go on your honey moon?"
 Right to the house. No gaddnig for Allan in the busy season"
 Well, I like that!" exclaimed Anne T wonder he takes time to be mar ried!"
 'He figures he loses an awful lot of time calling on me at fathers, Julie laughed gaily. That will be conserved when I am only stones throw from the works" A day or so later there came a note from Jane: My dear Julie it said Since you taboo all showers, we girls are inviting 8 few of your friends to { picnic on Satuday afternoon. We art bound to give you and Allan some sort of a send-off. Please insist up on his presence at p. m. Don't both CT to bring anything, the supper is al arranged We shall call for you" Hop in, both of you!" ordere' Jane, when the car drew up at Julie door at the appointed hour. Tn others have gone ahead" l Later, as they sped along, Allel said: There are the works. did no know any picknicking went on here abouts."
 "Oh, didn't you?" mocked Jane, an the car suddenly halted at the gate Q the new home.
 The place swarmed with busy youn men and women, equipped with hoe: rakes, spades and watering pots. ] Come here, Julie!" bawied yout in overalls, the minute the car stop ped, cant 1 stick a row of aster down this edge of the plot. George determined to have it in cabbages."
 Come over here, Julie and see whs a dandy row of string beans I've pu in!" said Marian.
 In jiffy the engaged paid were a busy as all the rest, and before lon the spaded ground showed row upo row of trodden spaces, ending in tn neat wooden labels.
 As the sun was setting the banque was spread beneath the apple trees.
 Well have to hurry" warned th weatherwise George, that cloud the west has a lot of water in it.'

MORE GERMAN TRIcKERY

The more that is learned regarding the sinking of the German warships, the plainer it becomes that there was well organized conspiracy among the German officers and men to io just what they accomplished, with the ships under German control as well as those turned over to the allies in :. cluded. By sinking those in Ger many's harbor it is to be presumed that the idea was to make it impossi- ble for the allies to take over those to replace the ones lying at the bottom of Scapa Flow.
 That the German officers were a: the bottom of the scheme was pretty well established by their conduct when the men fleeing from the ships were ordered back by British officials to close the seacocks. In some in stances it was possible to prevent the vessels from going down but in others where the German officers shot their men down 10 prevent them from sav- ing the ships it was shown what de- termination was back of the plot.
 The investigation which is being conducted will doubtless bring to light the full facts in the case, though there may be reluctance on the part of the prisoners to furnish the details, bu it is quite evident that adequate pun ishment must be meted out to those who are responsible.
 While it IS impossible to overlool the lack of rrecaution and the sue. cess Of the German coup the sinking is bound to react to the disadvantagc of Germany. It has revealed as noth ing else coule at this particular tim the treachery of those people and ii bound to mean that they will be mucl more closely watched in connection with the fulfilment of the treaty term than might otherwise have been tn case.

FOR THE BRIDE-ELEcT

The party was over, most of the guests had gone, and gay girlish voices were heard discussing the event.
 Tt was lovely affair, wasn't it?" said Anne. Such novel and tasteful presents!"
 "If you like that kind of thing, it would be just about what you would like,' paraphrased Julie. But I think showers are relic of the dark ages, and should be relegated there to-"
 "Why, Julie! You always give the most original present of anybody"
 Girl, I just abominate, detest, de- spise every kind of shower that ever was given for any bride elect. I'd rather be held up by a real, genuine yegg- man than honeyfugled out of presents I don't care to give for per sons that do not interest me. I fell humiliated every time I accept an in- vitation to a shower. Maybe, if I have tried to give useful gifts, it is a bit less hypocriticaL"
 Then if you are engaged I sup pose you will forbid all that kind oi thing. It will make it hard to do the right thing by you when it comes your turn, ODJeCueu MdTidH.
 Anybody would think" protested Julie, that all a girl considered was the pre-nuptial and -nuptial enter tainments, Marriage means a goot deal more than job lot of handker- chiefs or a 10-cent counter in the tir shop"
 "Hoity- -toity! Just listen to her! What spell has been cast over oul gentle Julie? Is hers to be one of the seasons's announcements? ?" laughed Anne.

STORIES OF THE WAR Germans and Austrians Moving Into

The German and Austrian peaceful inf1ltration of Serbia has begun. The hotels of Belgrade harbor guests whose identity is revelaed by their heavy Teutonic cast of features. They talk in German and laugh loudly over their beer. Indeed is one does not speak German in Belgrade one some times finds himself misunderstood The walters do not know English or French in the majority of cases.

However, I found that when I spoke Italian I was treated with disrespect, that when I spoke French I was ignored and that when I spoke English I was smilingly told politely, in German, that I could be

SIGNING THE TREATY..

Germany is going to sign the trea- ty. It recognizes, as it has long been realized that it must, that there is nothing else for it to do if it is go ing to respect it's own welfare. And Germany is going to sign without res ervations, the surrender being uncon- ditional, but it doesn't mean of course that Germany is satisfied at the out come. The present attitude, how ever, is in decided contrast to that manifested throughout the war. Ger many doesn't admit that 1t is a peace of justice which it may have hoped would be obtained in accord with German ideas, but it is a peace to which they must submit because the allies are able to enforce their de- mands. And yet while the communi- cation of acceptance refers to the "unheard of injustice of the peace conditions" Germany fully realizes that they are far from as severe as they would have been had Germany been imposing them upon other na- tions.
 Probably there is no reason to be-
 
 any different spirit than it promises to according to it's note, but it should not get the idea that it will not be expected to live up to the provisions It will be for the interests of that country to settle down to business and to get the benefits of readjust- ment as quickly as possible and to as great a degree as it can show itsel1 a good loser. That it will do this is hardly indicated in its note but to re- gard the treaty that it will sign as another scrap of paper will simply mean adding to it's troubles and in creasing it's burdens. It has selected its own medicine but the spirit il which it takes it and profits from i will have much to do with the wa, the doses are given.

educational charges as light as they could be made which is in its way the reinforcement of our dream. We have never been attracted by edu- cational institutions which have been endowed by individual philan- thropy. Their spiri seems always to remain too exclusive. Nor, on the other hand. have we been con- vinced by the state universities whose funds come from the common treas ury.
