STORIES OF THE WAR
Iceland.

In connection with the recognition of the full sovereignty of Iceland, recently accorded by Denmark. by which the island enters the Danish mark, the National Geographic So- ciety has issued from it's Washington headauarters the following bulletin: Geographically and geeloGically the British Isles, for it is situated on the same submarine mountain ridge, stretching from southeast to north west across fsle North ,-tlantic," says the bulletin, which is based on com munacaton from Jon Stefansson.
 Iceland is not bleak, arctic re- sions embedded in thick-ribbed ice, though it's northernnaost peninsula. R1fstanki, projects mile north of the Arctic circle.
 NO country on earth of equal size contains so varied and wonderful phenmena. The glaciers of Switzer- land; the fjords, salmon rivers, and midnight sun of Norway; the volca- noes, grottoes, and solfataras of Italy, on grander scale; the mineral springs of Germany; the geysers of New Zealand; the largest waterfall next to Mia asara, in the world-all are here. Nowhere has nature been so spendthrift in giving a geological lesson to man. If there be sermons in stones, volumes lie unread here. Here we see her titanic forces at work building up a country. Nowhere is it possible to study so well the geologi- cal conditions prevailing toward the close of the glacial epoche in Europe

PRESIDENTIAL sEcRETIvENEss

Reluctantly the president has yielded to the senate's demand to give them the treaty separately negotiated. with France. Why this secretive- ness can only be surmised. Before the French assembly the two treaties are being considered together. and that seems to have been the under standing of the way they should have been handled. but President Wilson chose to disregard this natural way of handling related subjects. prefer ring to divide them.
 Why is it not safe to let the peo- pie know all the essential facts of the treaty to which they are asked to give assent? It is a matter of vital importance to America which should have the open light of publicity.
 Such a policy of secretiVenesS inn pels the belief that the people are no more being told all now than they were in 1916. when the administration knew that war was only a little way ahead and yet made capital of the campaign cry, He kept us out Of war.
 Nor in fact is this the only part of the transactions on which the presi dent has been ignoring the senates demand for information. The treaty has been published, and it's text is known, just as was the text of the main treaty in advance of its delivery to the senate. Requests for details with ,-gard to the private compacts be- tween England. France and Japan have not been compiled with. Sena / tors are given confidentially such in sight into the secrets of the Paris council as the president thinks may sway them in their judgment. but that is all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Wants TroIIeys Again.

Mr-Editor: We have been reading great deal about the trolley ques- tlon, one way and another. but that doesn't give the people the service they are entitled to.
 The trolleymen claim that la borer with pick and shovel receives more for his services. It is not so, for a man with the pick does more work in one week tiUan a man on the cars in a year. Therefore we do not care to hear that for an excuse for strik- ing and inconveniencing the public. Calling MT. Perkins crook does not give us service either.
 The trolleymeu care naught for the public for they know that increase in wages will eventually mean increased fares which worries them not.
 Anyone can do the work on trolley cars.
 Come on you men. go back to work and give the public what is theirs and don't kick because you think a la- borer gets more than he earns.

MIDsEAsoN IN SUMMER.

This is the time When the joys of anticipation are given free rein; When ferment pervades the office and home; When timetables are anxiously sean ned; When every mail carries letters of highest importance bearing on days to come;
 When plans made one day are shat tered the next;
 When what to wear is an absorbing question and who'll be there is an other;
 When distracted parents assure their anxious children a dozen times a day that next week isn't tomorrow;
 When the sun- tanned stenographer just back disrupts the office force while they hang on her tales of wonderful time;"
 When casual acquaintances blossom into lifelong friendships;
 When few weeks together can shatter friendships past repair;
 When pictures of brook. the open sea, the mountains. a hammock or canoe will fit over the ledger page;
 When many a man joins in the cho rus of My Wife's Gone to the Coun- try and invites the boys in for quiet evening;
 When baggage srnashers do their worst:
 When the mosquito fatteneth on the summer boarder;
 This is vacation time.

After the trying days of the world war Gods country looks better than 1t ever did before to these men

 While this southern deve1opn1ent movement has so far been largely carried on in the southwestern states and one or two Gulf states. it is cap turing the ina gination of forward looking people in the interior states of the Mississippi valley and other sections Of that vast region bounded on the north by the Potomac and Ohio rivers, on the east and south by the Atlantic and Gulf and on the southwest by the Rio Grande. It is a home building and home owning campaign, especially on farms
 In bill that has been presented in congress to provide for community settlements for American veterans in the world conflict, the southern states see the value OF directing congress sional attention towards their sec ton in the expectation of showing that the south has the most available territory for carrying out land de- yeloprnent as a means of establishing returning soldiers in the national life.

 It is a heart breaking state of af- fairs for the magnates of Germany to find that their carefully thought out plans for world domination have collapsed as thoroughly in conner cial lines as in their military at tempts.
 taken over there were many that were innocent but it was the largest and best known that Mir. Palmer and the secret service showed were in full o-opera ton with the German gov ernment in propaganda designed to undermine American industries and set up hostile centers in every part of the United States. It was these. such as the Hamburg American and the North German Lloyd lines. the Oren- stein -Koppel Company. the Bosch Magneto Company. the Bayer Chemi- cal Company. the St. Andrews Bay Lumber Company of Florida. that were organized for quite other pur- poses than innocent industrial and commercial pursuits.
 He throttled this German conspir- acy and they know it.
 The money that rightfully belongs to any German investor awaits dis tribution whenever congress decides, and the time imperial government knows it can make no claim that propaganda to match their own was carried on in Germany by American owned companies which were ruth less1y conf1scated.

 By the decision of the company, the participation of the individual in the s1 affairs of the government of the col ,ony was to be permitted through the .-provlsion that there should be two bodies, one to be formed of the gov T. ernor and council, selected and ap- sEpointed blythe company at home, and the other of a council of state and house of burgesses elected in the col ony.
