Put let him tell it: The nw. mayor of Terre Haute starts oitt with an order to close the red light district, drive the gamblers out of town, and force the saloons to obey the law. Isn't such a doe of sanetiScation likely to prove fatal? Just as the inebriate when suddenly deprived of liquor collapses completely after a day's abstinence, so Terre Haute is likely to collapse under e too sudden and sweeping reform. Better lop off her besetting sins one at a time than try to olimi-n-'e them all at once. Wc knew a gentleman some years ago who went to a hospital insisting that the Fureeon operate on him all on one day for appendicitis, hernia, and gall stones. Tlu surgeon did it, too, and the operations were ali beautifully successful, but three days later a mixed quartet p'ood before a hank of floral offerings in t-his gentleman's home and feelingly sang, "Some Day We'll Understand." Hut some "f us who were there wearing white gloves thought we understood already."

DUNCAN C. MILNEIt, La Naaione of Fioraence haa received from Paris th following particulars respecting th-s funeral of the famous French aviator, Ouynemer, who fell behind the enemy lines, says the Labour Leader. The disappearance of Guynemer was made known thruout the who! of the French air aervice. but no news of his death was at hand until, on one of the French aerodromes, German aeroplane dropped package. This package contained a uniform, a rocket case and a lettr. The uniform, which was bloodstained, belonged to the heroic and unfortunate aviator. In the pocket case were bank notes. The letter came from the commander of the German aviation corps on the western front. It contained en invitation to the Frencn aviation corps lo come ard assist at the obsequies of Guynemer. The most complete security and absolute liberty of passage over th lines of f!re were guaranteed, both for the journey out and return. It was expressly stated that the French aviators could fly close to the ground. No shot would be fired. On the day fixed, at dawn, fifteen French aviators, n entire squadron, with a captain at the head, traversed the enemy lines and made for the place indicated in the letter of invitation. After descending, the aviators, accompanied by their adversaries, made for the village close t.y. where the body of Guynemer ley. In tho modest church Frenchmen and Germans joined together in the religious ceremony, which was brief but moving. Wreaths cent. In some cases by the families of the German aviators, were then placed upon the cofl'in. In the adjoining cemesery a German officer paid trihutc to the fallen aviator. Nor was a tribute cf homage to French aviation omitted. The officer declared that German aviation felt itself to be the disciple of the French, who were masters of courage and hard. hood in the realm of aeronautics. "Ot-
