Sunday Bonfres.

MT. Editor: We read in the paper this morning that the fire department was compelled to make three runs yesterday to extinguish incipient fires, which only for their prompt responses might have resulted in conf1agrations In all three of these instances, the fire was started by some non-church- going people who become very indus trious around their premises on Sun days, in cleaning up rubbish and starting bonires-thus endangering their own and their neighbours prop erty, and making an expense to in crease the general fire taxation-of course not all these bonfires turn out fatally--but some have, and in our city, too, but the cost of making three runs of the department in one day must be considerable, not to speak of the alarm which it causes the innocent victims whose property is near to the fire. If there is no law forhidding this reckless playing with fire, within the city limits, justice would say that these people should al least pay for the expense they ere
 ate-and not the general public.

 After Eliza became Mrs. Hay she Loyalty named her daughter for Hor- tense, who, as queen and ex-dueen, always kept up a correspondence with her American schoolmate. Today the two friends sleep but a few miles apart, Eliza having returned in later life to the scenes of her girlhood, where she joined the Catholic church, and at last was buried in the ceme- tery of Pere la Chaise at Paris.
 After signing the Louisiana treaty, much of the prestige Monroe had won at Paris was lost by him in London, where he negotiated an English treaty that Jefferson repudiated. Once more he came home under a cloud but soon emerged as secretary of state in Madison's cabinet.

IMMIGRATION PROSPECTS

When reports show that frnni- grants are entering New York at the rate of 1000 day, even though that Is the number from Italy and for only two days, it indicates that even if hose in this country are leaving for other shores because of prohibition there are many who are willing to come in in spite of it. The fact of the matter is that prohibition has been in effect for such a short time and the opportunities for getting li- quor even now are such that it is inn probable that those who may be going to Europe or other countries are act uated by the law against intcxicants.
 The large immigration figures at this season of the year seem to bear out the claims which have ceme from consular representatives to the effect that such could be expected and cer- tsinly ever since last summer the number of immigrants has been stead. fly increasing. With close to thous. and a day during January and Feb. riary, the two days arrivals ir March, with another claim to the ef. feet that 1e.eo0 a month were leavins Italy indicates what can be expected lust as soen as weather more condu eive to travelling arrives

MORE TREES NEEDED.

It is getting time for the Arbor day proclamations and some of the gov srnors already have issued them. and 1t is noted that in Pennsylvania. Gov ernor Sproul has selected two days, April 1s and 2S, for the setting out of trees. not solely for shade purposes but with the idea of referestation and the protection of the sources of streams.
 The proclamation is one that might well be followed in other states for 1t is perfs~4l-- evident that there is need of giving increased attention to not only the improvement of the looks of streets and increasing the appear ance and value of property through trees but to the restoration of forest lands And in this direction the i'm portance of the action can well be i'm pressed upon the minds of the elders as well as the school children.
 In all probability in many place, the practice of setting out trees a. memorials to those who. gave theil lives in the world war will be con. tinued. It is a custom that is mak. ing widespread appeal and beini quite generally adopted and this il the season when it may well be un dertaken.
 But when the governor of Pennsyl vania adds to the customary procla nation the appeal for the planting 0 trees on denuded land. whether clear ed by fire or axe, on unused land an on. hinsides, and sets forth that tha state already has a million acres e forest land which it is protecting an developing for future use, it can b appreciated that he makes his proc lamation include more than the schoC children and the. city dweller, tn park boards and the highway author ities. There is much more that shoul De done than can be done on two day but the combined efforts of those ir terested on the dates designated ca do much not only in increasing tt trees and the future timber suppl but in areusing interest in others.

The sympathy, and assistance if 1t is needed of the rest of the country will go to that section which has been devastated and where many lives have been lost as the result of the tornado. It is in that part of the coun- try where the broad plains lend themselves to the rsvages of the great winds. and where the possibil ity of such a death dealing and de- structive force is constantly to be feared.
 Life in the tornado belt cannot be so much more secure than in those sections where earthquakes menace life and property. What is apparent ly prosperous, contented. peaceful part of one or more states today may be 6 shan1bles tomorrow through the quick and merciless actions of cyclone Or earthquake. It is condition which . has to be faced and the chances taken. If sufficient warning can be had it is possible to gain certain un- derground havens for protecting life but such forces are not bound to sig nal their coming, and if the section happens to be one where such visita- ticns have not been frequent enough 10 make the provision of safeguards seem advisable losses may be greater than ever.
 There are many times when thu steep and rugged hills of this part O the country bring forth complaints but nothing could be more effectiv, for wind breaks than these same hill and ridges. Perhaps we are too of ten inclined to dwell more upon tn beauty of our hifls and valleys thai we are to appreciate the protection which they give us from the danger of cslones such as has just visite the middle west. In fact we are ap to be too critical. of what seems t be a Dit troublesome at times with out taking into consideration the off steting benefits but if we stop to thin there are plenty of things in ever
 day life for which we have sufficier reason to be duly grateful but whic we too often fail to give a. thought

: . ! HOME RULE.

Many more than Ireland and Eng land are interested in the outcome of the home rule bill now under debate in the British parliament, For a long period of time there has been a fight for home rule. Within a compara- lively brief time there has been a de- mand for independence. Each de- mand has been opposed within as well as outside of Ireland. That con- dition exists today with this change that while there appears te be no prospect of independence there is a disposition to grant home rule. That part of Ireland which stood out stren- uously against even home rule is now favorable to the proposition advanced, but that section which had previous ly been clamoring for home rule is now urging freedom.
 The Irish home rule bill as it now stands provides briefly for the estab- lishment of two parliaments in Ire land. One to include the larger part of Ireland where home rule sentiment strongly prevailed in years past, and the other to include Ulster. Each parliament would govern it's respec- tive section until such time as they could agree to come together undei one parliament. It would be a long step in compliance with the home rule plea, leaving the opposing fac. tions to themselves under home rule until they could see the advisabilit, of getting together under a singl, government.
 With the matter approaching {: vote in parliament conditions in Ire land are far from being what the, should be. Lawlessness is ratdpan
 and defiant of all authority, an
 should be the means of hastening ae
 tion of some kind to change the sit
 uation there.

Whooping cough is the "rnean- est" disease that childhood is heir to. While rarely fatal in itself, except to children under two years of age, still it hangs on 50 long-tfle coughing paroxysrns are so violent, preventing proper sleep and digestion-that when the disease does disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the afr passages and after re- covery this irritation frequently remains.
 During this period of conval- essence the child should be most carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air passages regain their normal tone "A prominent authority even goes 50 far as to say-"There is more criminal neglect in connection with whooping cough than witf any other disease"
 While the disease is active Vick's VapoRub usually helps tC lessen the violence of the cough ing, but it is during conval essence that Vicks is most val uab1e.

GERMANY AND PEACE TERMS.

Much has been said about France being militaristic, within the past few weeks, but the revelations which have been made as the result of investi- cations carried on in Germany make it evident that 1t has good reason to look well to it's protection until such a time as it can really feel that it is not going to be descended upon by another well equipped and rapidly moving army from Germany or else where.
 France apparently takes the posi- ton that it must. look out for itself. In doing so it has gained the assur- ance of others that it will get their assistance in case it is attacked. At the same time it is being called upon to use it's forces in carrying out the after war q s,,-, ~e--41r+s and it was intended by the terms imposed upon Germany that the danger of attack from that direction would be elirni- mated by requiring a greatly reduced army and requiring it to give up it's quantities of war material.
 It is now a year and half since the armistice was signed and past the lIIIle uASQ lpT tuc CdIlytuS Oub OA CSl tain of the terms but it is found thai Germany has not complied, that the time has been. allowed to pass and i has not been forced to live up to tn, terms.
 There were certain notifications made at the request of the German l government. This was done to mak conditions easier in that country bu it was not possible to construe an, such letting up to-. mean that othe l terms would not have to be respect ed. Whether Germany thought tha l it did or not, it is plain that it ha not been eager to do it's part and tn failure concerns the very materis that would be required should it eve want to make trouble for it's neigh
 bors, or should it undertake to resis the enforcement of the peace terms.
 France may be chided for lookin
 out for it's safety but it must be give
 credit for not having the wool pulle over its eyes by the former enem
 seeking relief from it's agreements.
 the same time Germany should req
 ize that it needs to repair it's reputs 4 ton for keeping promises. Nothin
 could be expected to foster militai ism in France more than the way which Germany dodges the peat
 terms.
