THE PATH OF THE INVADER.

A Tribune correspondent inquires if the entire state of Belgium is now under German domination, and adds the inquiry as to what disposition the Germans will make of Belgium? The German Invasion was checked at the rtver Yser by the united Belgian and British forces, and it has been held there for four months, Belgium retaining a small strip of territory west of tlie Yser, but even this permits the Belgian boast that all Belgium has never been under the domination of the Germans, If the allies are successful the country will be restored to the people of Belgium and enormous indemnity demanded in her favor from Germany.

In the alignment of the allied forces for the great siege battle which has lasted all winter it was fitting that the position along the Yser should be to the Belgian army. Fighttag here. King Albert's soldiers are still defending an inslferUflcant ribbon of fatherland elsewhere they would be 'without the personal Incentive of striving to protect their native soil.

In the general offensive movement which has been inaugurated by the western allies during the past two weeks the Belgians haive taken an honorable part. While the French were making slow gains in Champagne, and while the British were winning their bloody battle at Neuve Chapelle, the Belgians in the Yser district were also pushing forward a few yards at a time, and were retaining whatever ground they took. This after a long winter of defensive fighting, in which the men of King Albert obstirfately held their own.

Belgium is now a very unimportant parUci®ant in the war, but the little *Ee/has to do she is doing well. Those who admire the Belgian people, and theSe admirers may well be numbered among the German sympathizers who respect a brave fight against great odd&, have had no cause to be ashamed of the little army which King Albert conimands in person in the inundated fields and sandy wastes of the Flemish coafet.

fPROBLEM OF POOLROOMS.

je Chicago Tribune in an editorial touches pertinently and directly on the 5 poolrooms, against which a campaign is being waged by some organizations It there. The Tribune says: "Pool in itself is a harmless game, ancfc a poolroom is a safer place in which to have youths gather than reji sorts, barns or alleys. Such reform is short-sighted and self-defeating. The way to meet the evils of the poolroom effectually is first to recognize that it answers a legitimate need of the comI mufiity, and then supply other and jj better means of answering this need.

But shutting up the poolroom will not drl-ve young men into churches, the Y. M. C. A., the Art Institute, or the Thomas concerts. "The attempt by reform organizations to enforce an extreme puritanic standard of conduct has only one result—a strong reaction against reform. The problem of providing wholesome entertainment for youth In great cities is tremendously Important and as difficult as it is Important. The need for wise surveillance of the thousands of girls and boys whose social environment is defective, who lack guidance and discipline, is apparent, but the very worst way of dealing with the rough vitality of youth is to try to force it into the straight-jacket of middle-aged decorum. For example, tobacco smoking to epccess is bad, but it is no occasion for horror-stricken protest or moral nightmare. "Chicago is a community of heterogeneous character. Its people represent widely different traditions, social, personal, religious, and moral standards. It will not endure the imposition of one set of standards. Intelligent reform will not challenge this fact, but work along lines of sensible compromise."

CARRYING THE LOAD.

Dispatches Saturday indicated that Col. E. M. House, who went to Europe at the instance of President Wilson, to ascertain if the good services of this nation would be acceptable in suggestion toward peace, had been fully impressed by several of the belligerent nations that such steps now would not be concurred in. Dire conditions are setting in throughout Europe, and the humanitarian instincts that prompt the president are shared by many of his people. There is a feeling that eventually the president will fill a large place in the readjustment and the restoration of peace, and there should be fine regard for his efforts. The time calls for the highest patriotism on the part of all the people of this nation.

In these troubled times, when every day shows more clearly the dangers that confront even the most sincere neutrality, the hearts of all Americans should go out in sympathy and support to that solitary man Who carries the welfare of 100,000,000 people so largely in his hand.

His is a staggering responsibility. It is the greatest that could be laid on the chief executive of any nation in time of peace. No American since Lincoln has borne such a burden—has been confronted with issues which are so big with fate for the land wc love.

It is easy for those who do not share his burden or realize its tremendous weight on heart and mind to say what ought to be done under any and all circumstances. But his is the solemn duty not only of saying, but also of acting not only of acting, but also of doing so with the knowledge that the welfare of his fellow citizens may hang upon his course.

THE REACTION.

It has not been long since the politician who could crack the most corporation heads was the boy who would get the largest majorities. This sentiment has prevailed long enough to show its folly. One-of its effects was to wipe out every prestige of free transportation. However, the reaction has set in. The legislature of Kansas has decided that shippers of live stock are entitled to special dispensation, and has therefore passed an act to provide that "whenever any railroad company or corporation doing business within the limits of this state shall receive and ship any live stock by the carload and the shipper shall desire, either in person or by employee, to accompany such

stock for the purpose of looking after and caring for it in transit, or if such shipper or his employee desires to ride on a passenger train from place of shipment to point designated in contract or from any intermediate point to destination, the charge of such shipment shall be held to include the passage of the shipper or his employee." It Is further provided "that, in all cases where more than one carload of stock is stipped at the same time the railroad company or corporation shall be required to paas one additional person for every carload or major fraction thereof in addition to the first carload, and one additional person for every six carloads or major fraction thereof after the first four carloads, provided, further, that, not more than four persons shall he passed with any train load of live stock shipped by one shipper." Just how the shipper or his employee, or his four employees if he has so many, is to care for the live stock When it goes on a freight train and he or they go on a passenger train, the law does not indicate. The effect of the law, therefore, is to require the railways, for no good reason whatever, to throw in a certain amount of free transportation with etvery shipment of live stock. Why discriminate thus in favor of the shipper of live stock? Why not require a free pass to be issued with every carload shipment of grain or of coal or any other commodity?

ADVANTAGE IN BORROWING.

"Mrs. Smith." said she, as the neighbor answered her timid knock, "mother wants to know if you won't pleas lend her a dozen eg«?s. She wants to put them under a hen." "Put them under a hen?" was the wondering rejoinder of the neighbor. "I didn't know that you had a hen." "We haven't." was the frank rejoinder of the little girl.

How I Earned My First Dollar

A pick pocket separated James B. Engles, the automobile supply man, from the first dollar he earned. Mr. Bngles recently opened a new store at 667 Ohio street, where he handles Ford accessories. For a number of years he was connected with the sales department of the Studebaker agency in Terre Haute. "One summer during vacation and right in the harveBt time a neighbor to the people I was visiting needed some one to haul 'hay doodles'" said Mr. Engles when Interviewed by a Tribune reporter. "I Jumped at the chance to make a dollar. The horse that I rode didn't have any fat—mostly back bone—and the sweat from the horse burned my bare legs till I thought I would have to give it up, but I stayed it out. "Well, I was pretty happy when the two days at fifty cents a day made a dollar for me. I kept that dollar for three or four years. But one day when I was out at a picnic at Forest park I ran afoul of a pickpocket. It was certainly hard luck to lose that first dollar. I grieved about it for days and days, but it was not very long until I made another."

HOROSCOPE.

*Tka fttara Incline, tout 4s *°4 comjpel.", Copyright, 1915, by the McChire

Newspaper Syndicate.)

Monday, March 29, 1915.

In the morning of this day conditions are not favorable for most human activities. Late in the afternoon the sun is in beneflc aspect.

Owing to the evil rule of Mercury, this is not a fortunate time for advertisers, publishers and editors. Serious exigencies are likely to arise within the next few months.

Young ft)lks should be exceedlngjy careful under this rule. They should act with prudence and set a guard on speech.

This is an exceedingly unlucky day for the signing of contracts, leases and legal papers of any description.

Mercury is in a place believed to be disturbing to the stomach, digestive apparatus and the nerves. It intensifies mental activity and increases the usual physical strain.

Lawyers would better postpone important cases until the rule is more propitious. Bankers and financiers should be extremely cautious while this configuration prevails. Brokers, also, are warned that there is danger of a panic.

Speculation is subject to most unlucky guidance today. There will be many alluring projects presented this year, but most promoters will meet with disaster.

In the early afternoon of this day Mars is strongly adverse. While the aspect is in operation it is wise to be temperate in all things. The appetites and emotions should be placed under strong control.

There is a sinister way for domestic peace. Quarrels and dissensions with members of the family and friends are believed to be unusually common.

The evening will be a good time to seek persons in places of power. The rule favors helpfulness and kindliness.

Persons whose birthday it is have the omen of treachery and law suits in the coming year. Speculation is under a particularly bad influence.

Children born on this day are likely to be extremely talented, but they may lack the power to make the most of their gifts. They are subjects of Aries, and their principal ruling star is Mars.

PAID FOR THE BLIND.

A tradesman in a certain town put a box outside his shop one day, labeled "For the Blind." A few weeks afterward the bo* disappeared. "Halloa! What's happened to your box for the blind?" he was asked. "Oh. I got enough money," he replied. "And," pointing upward to the new canvas blind that sheltered his shop window, "there's the blind. Not bad, is it?"—London Answers.

Joshua was the son of Nun and was appointed by Moses to lead an attacK upon the Amelekites at Sinai. He gained such a brilliant victory that he was ever after in the limelight, lie represented his tribe (Ephraim) among the twelve spies and was one of the two who urged trust in Jehova and an immediate advance upon the land, ue was eventually chosen to succeed Moses, and upon Moses' death took charge of the people and led thein across the Jordan.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Homes and Tsxse.

Editor of the Tribune—I notice in the Tribune where the street improvement plan for the coming supimer has been shelved by the city officials. Considering the present turmoil and the litigation that has developed over the improvements made last year, the people will be gratified to hear this. Next thing let us have a fair and equable taxation of business property down town where the rents demanded are clear out of proportion to the tax assessments. Such appraisements should relieve the residence districts where taxes are so high that the building and owning of homes are discouraged. !. O. P.

About Billy Sunday.

Editor of the Tribune—I notice in your paper an account from Philadelphia of the nauseating stuff uttered by one Billy Sunday, giving a part census of the region known as hell and listing among them such men as Paine, Ingersoll and Voltaire. If Billy Sundayis bound for heaven while Paine and Ingersoll have gone to hell, then I musj say going to hell is a reward for virtue and goodness upon this earth. Ingersoll and Paine did more good upon this earth than a thousand Billy Sundays will ever do. P. R-

PASSING THOUGHTS.

A. shiftless man is an example of a paradox he is alwayB shifting.

Fame that is achieved through firstpage publicity is soon forgotten. To be oontent with what you have. Imagine how you would feel if you had lost it.

It is equally difficult to argue with a man who knows much and a man who knows nothing.

Don't advise a man how to Invest his money. If his ventures go wrong he will never forgive you, and if they go right he will never remember your aid.

It may be supposed that two women kiss each other when they meet because one imagines she is expected to do so, and the other hasn't the moral courage to disillusion her.

A rOTOlH WORTH RBADI1VG.

Because our lives are cowardly and sly, Because we do not dare to take or give, Because we scowl and pass eaoh other by,

We do not live we do not dare to live. We dive, each man, into his secret house,

And bolt the door, and listen in affright. Hach timid man beside a timid spouse.

With timid children huddled out of sigh I. Kiss'.ng In secret, fighting secretly!

We crawl and hide like vermin In a hole. Under the bravery of sun and sky

We flush our meannesses of face and soul. Let us go out and walk upon the road.

And quit for evermore the brickbnilt den. The lock and key, the hidden, shy abode

That separates us from our fellowmen. And by contagion of the sun we may

Catch at a spark from that primeval Are. And leurn that we are better than our clav.

And equal to the peaks cf our desire.

WASHINGTON, March 27.—Verily this la a democratic country in whicU we live.

The other day, Sunday,- the records Indicating that it was the first day of spring, and there being something: of springtime in the air, I sauntered forth for a walk down Connetlcut avenue towurd the business section .when I suddenly came to a halt—for a moment—and then, catching my breath, I passed on, actually lifting my hat to a man. The man was President Woodrow Wilson, apparently all alone, albeit followed at a respectable distance by secret service men. He had decided that he wanted to be just one of the people again and get a little of the best exercise in the world. So he turned up his nose at the suggestion of all the numerous conveyances at his disposal and sauntered forth for a walk. His destination? The Zoological gardens, a distance of about two miles from the white house. He walked along briskly, snuffing the air as though he liked the osone, smiling upon the children who passed him along the way. I didn't turn and follow htm back, but the press the next day told of his delighted meandering* among the animals and his keen enjoyment of his experience.

It was not the first time that Wilson has done something of the sort. Roosevelt did not take to that sort of thing it was too democratic. He prefered to go about on horseback, accompanied by an aide, Taft was too heavy for walking and probably wouldn't have liked It much had he been lighter. He prefered luxuriant machine, filled with military aides. Not in years has Washington seen such democracy a£ that of the Wilsons. Every now and then the president breaks over the traces of precedent and determines to go shopping—and he goes. Down through the crowded streets he wends his way, good natusedly taking the jostling of the tourist who does not recognize him, and buying little presents for children that he knowB. One of the secrets of his pedestrianism is that he feels the necessity of vigorous exercise. lr. Grayson, the white house physician, keeps hammering away on exercise until he wins his point. Xo man in the present generation has ever had the vast problems to deal with that Wilson has. He is capable of intense concentration. No president has stuck to his task as WilBon has since Lincoln died. Just now he is buckling down to our delioate international problems, and during the next two months he will probably devote himself almost exclusively to them.

and the Mexican trouble la Mr. who celebrated his flfty-flfth birthday the other day. ruing the I have heard the remark mads £r»querrtly that he looks mooh older,- and so he does indeed. It seaiua to ms tfcat Bryan looks ten years older thaa te did two years ago when he entered on the perforznanoe of his herculean task In the state department. As was said at the press club the other nlng by the chairman In him, he has bad greater aad serious problems and" mora of than any sncrs+nrT of slate staoa William H. Seward, who served in the cabinet of linooln. This has compelled intense concentration and. all lies to the oootxary notwtthataadfeHft he has stuck to his desk rocne etosaty than any other secretary of state since the days of Seward. Bwii bffc have not been his own. Where other cabinet officers cloae shop at 5 and go. home, Bryan Is almost always o6mpelled to receive and give attention! to dispatches of Importance dsttoeredj during the night, and there Is seldom a night that he Is not compelled to speak at some banquet, or at least attend some semi-state dinner. He has but little exercise—and he shows it.

And yet these two men are more roundly abused, more persistently lied about, by the prostitutes of the press than any officials this country has had since the civil war. No one who has studied the methods of the "kept" press of New York City and other large cities will doubt its capacity to resort to anything low and contemptible that can be conceived. Respectable republican politicians criticise ths public policies of these two men and no one can properly object that- is politics. But these papers. In their utter ignorance of the Intelligence of the masses, have worked upon the theory that they can muok-rake two such men and actually convince the public that they are part knave and part fool.

Take th3 furore over the Ferguson letter. Mr. Ferguson is a governm official in the employ of the depar ment of commerce. He might be call a field agent. One of his functions to bring about closer relations between the government and the business world. This is a pet hobby of Secretary Redfleld, himself a highly successful manufacturer. When the agent went out, he carried with him a letter from the president. This fact was eagerly seized upon by the kept press in aa effort to make the public- think that Woodtow Wilson was trying to make terms with big business. The Hearst papers—Hearst is worth about 180,600,000—began the attack. And then, gentle reader, who do you suppose carried it on? Why. bless your soul,
