PBOTECT YOUB CHILD
Aa a reault of selllns wine to two girlB, 13 and 15 years of age. Mrs, Jane Renniaky, wife of tbe proprietor of a liotel at Bay Shore, waa recently held for the grand Jury by Juatlcer F. P. Nohowel.
The glris had been to the shore with two young men and thought It would be smart to drink aometbing "Btrong" like they saw the grown¬ ups do. One of the girls became so helpless that she had to be assisted to ber home.
The case was prosecuted by Pres¬ ton B. Chapman, the Nassau and Suf¬ folk county agent of the Brooklyn Bociety for the prevention of cruelty to children. On the strength of com¬ plaints mado by the girls, Mr. Chap¬ man also caused the arrest of two young men on a serious charge. The young men had taken the girls auto¬ mobile riding on the day of the com¬ mission of the alleged crimes.
In commenting on these cases, Supt. Arthur W. Towne of the Socie¬ ty places the responsibility upon the parents. "Every summer," says Mr. Towne, "we encounter instances in which young girls come to grief In these ways. Upon investigation, we usually learn that tbe parents have failed to instruct their daughters of the dangers, and do not keep inform¬ ed concerning their whereabouts and conduct. Oil is should be warned not to accept invitations to take automo¬ bile rides with strangere. They should not take rides with any men except with their mothers' consent. Hotels and road-houses where young people' are served with re¬ freshments, «s well as dance halls and moving picture theatres, are al¬ so places for yoimg glrla to be wary aliout. "It Ih against the law," de¬ clares Mr, Towne, "to sell liquor to any minor under 16 years of age, or to admit them to dance halls or theatres unaccompanied by a parent or proper guardian."
"The society will Investigate any complaints of violations in such places, and, upon securing the evid¬ ence, will prosecute. In order to have the law properly enforced, it is important to have the alert co-opera¬ tion of the citizens throughout Long Island."
AwrcurKss of wab.
Ov»r tbe r«atl«S8 ocaaa. that breaka on oor peaceful Bands.
We fkncy tre h^ar tlie oonunotioa and noiaas of distant lands
It'a tbe crash and roar uf cannon, tbe blase and smoke of shell
That lias turned onr. beautiful Europe into a desolate Hell.
No mortal att earth is so clever he can picture with brush or pen
The utter desulatlon on tliis wholesale murder of men.
Oh think bf the farms and the valleys how they stink with bumaa blood,
As the summer sun in its awful heat beats down on the crimson mud.
And the awfulness of tbe story, it's the life blood of our boys
That drenches the soft green grasses and tbe suffering and the noise.
Under the pale weird moonlight, where the thousands arc dying and dead.
Tbe white robed nurses are pausing, for tbe last words faintly said.
Each lad cries out for his mother; the one who loves him best.
For he longs to lay his weary head once more on her loving breast.
He longs for her passionate kisses, tbe touch of her gentle hand
And mumbles a prayer to meet her again in a brighter and better land.
Then hark! Through the blackness of darkness, piercing the midnight sky.
There rlnga Ibe saddest note of war—The desolate mother's cry.
It sweeps through the German Empire, where our golden tiaired women
weep, As they kneel and pray for their soldier twys, while their babes on their
bosoms sleep.
Our Mothers in Briton are weeping raid their riches and their pride,
Their hearts are crushed and broken, tbey refuse to be satisfied.
And up from our sunny Italy, up through a cl(5udless sky.
From our t)€aiitlful, dark-eyed women, comes a pasRionate hopeless cry.
It sweeps across the water, from the land of fashion and joys—
Our li^ance is bowed in sorrow, while her mothers weep for their boys.
Like the wall of tbe wind o'er the ocean, where thousands of brave lads
sleep. Mid suffering and commotion our Russian rapthers weep. Oh, the awfulness of the story, the deep unuttered woe As iban shoots down his brother and considers him his foe.
Th* mothor of sin is. selflsh, the root of all evil Is greed;
And envy is, and always will be, a dangerous, poisonous weed.
Where sin and evil and envy grow, mid the nations of the earth.
Sorrow and death will surely go and linger around each harth.
And the farther we drift from Righteousness, the n«'.arer we get to Hell.
While the Devil laUghs and mocks, and cheers and tells us we are doing well.
Oh! What will check this tide of sin? Oh! What will stop this war?
Oh! What will purify this world? Just Blood and nothing more!
The blood of Christ will purify. He is the Prince of Peace,
And when the people turn to God, the war will quickly cease.

Charles E.

"Inadequate" aptly characterizes' the ^ison administration but almost any synony;n of unsatisfactory will do.
GIYE THE BABY A CHANCE
Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding, poverty, dirt. Ignorance, heat—those combine in nummor to kill the city baby. It seems as though the brunt of the cities' sanitary sins were foc¬ used on the baby. The baby didn't ask to come, to live ia a hot, air¬ tight tenement, to be fed on dirty, half spoiled milk, to be pestered with flies and mosquitoes. He is not res¬ ponsible for any of these conditipns and it is his right that be have fresh air, clean surroundings and decent food.
Just as It is now obstinately shut¬ ting its eyes to the need of industrial preparedness, for three years the Wilson administration refused" to see the need of adequate military prepar¬ edness. With war on our southern border it was content to rely on a regular army that could only mu»ter 40,000 available men and refused to continue the established policy of building up our navy. When the time came for action, the country bad not auflScient troops to police the border and this force/has been supplemented by a trifle more than one-third tho war strength of the national guard. If the national administration had had the ability to Interpret tlM aigua of the time. mlliUry x»«paredne8a would have been well under way in- ataad of barely begun.

"Had this government by the use of both formal and informal diplo¬ matic opportunities left uo doubt that when we said 'strict accountability' we meant precisely what we said, and that we should unhesitatingly vindi¬ cate that position, I am confident that there would liave been no destruction of American lives by tbe sinking of tbe Lusitanla." When Charles E. Hughes made the above statement he voiced tbe opinion of a majority of the thinking people of the United States'. The frequency and variety of our diplomatic notes bad conveyed the impression, both at home and abroad that they were Just notes with nothing behind them.
Those who are trying to continue the Progressive party in the interest of the Democratic candidates are making a, surprising amount of noise for their number. Two years ago tbe bulk of the Progressive voters in this State realizing the use that was being made of. their party abandoned It, tbe PiDgrcislve vote for Oovernor drop¬ ping from 393,000 In 1912 to 45,000 In 1914. If any of them went to the Democratic party it was not apparent in tbe vote for Governor, Glynn's en- ire vote falling more than 100,000 short of the vote cast for Suizer. This year, the remnant of the Progressive party divided on the question of en- loraing Hughes, over sixty per cent. ->f tbe delegates to the State conven- inn favoring such an endorsement. If he remaining forty per cent, accur¬ ately represent their constituents In ;he party the anti-Republican wln«; of the party has a voting strength of less than 20,000. There have been many evidences tbat most of the Pro¬ gressives have returned to the Re¬ publican party. I^ls Is Just another one.

For instance, in this sw^itch- Doard here, you 11 see little Holes—we call them 'jacks'—marked Bos¬ ton, Chicago,- Pitts¬ burgh and scores of other places, mileslaway. Each little *jack is the end o{ a line that begins in one of these distant cities or towns, and at that end, too, there's a Boston girl, a Chicago girl, a
IONG DLSTANCE." . It was always a my^tertpus sound¬ ing name to Alice. Who was she—where was she —and how could she let
anyone talk to Boston, Pittsburgh girl, and so Chicago, San Francisco on. So when we want and any other point in t<^ go to one of those the land?
So Alice was glad to have Long Distance tell her some of the things that she does in Tele¬ phoneland.
"Long Distance, said the girl w^ho usually an¬ swered to that name, "is not really one girl, one switchboard, nor one place. It is a great big system composed of thousands and thousands of little units like this switchboard here. Di¬ rectly or indirectly everyone of these switch-
places by telephone, we just insert one of these plugs and presto!—we're there. That's why you can take your receiver off the book, say, 'San Francisco, and in a short time be connected w^ith someone at the other end of the country.'
When Alice went home she was thinking that Seven League Boots would be slow, indeed, compared to traveling across country with "Long Distance as the engineer.
