The Eastland Horror Once more a calamity of frightful proportions has visited the city of Chicago. The Eastland disaster this morning even surpasses the awful Iroquois theater catastrophe in the number of lives lost. Unknown to the thousands of pleas- ' ure seekers who thronged the decks of the excursion steamer as it lay at the wharf ready for a 1 trip across Lake Michigan. Death was an unbidden guest aboard the ship. Probably nobody in the vast crowd gave a thought to the possibility of such a terrible accident. There Ajfas no more ' apprehension of danger in the minds of. the excursionists than there was to be found in the audience at that ill-fated matinee performance nearly twelve years ago. In that holocaust more than , 600 persons lost their lives and, as in today's
catastrophe, the greater number of victims were women and children. We are informed that the government has instituted an investigation to determine the cause of the Eastland horror. If we remember correctly the same thing was done immediately after the General Slocum sank in the East river at New York with a loss of 1,200 lives. Evidently the Slocum disaster failed to teach the lesson of the danger of over-crowding excursion boats. That seems to have been the real cause of today's grim tragedy. Reckless disregard of the ordinary rules of safety is as common today as it was in the days before the safety-first idea took hold of the public mind. Experience seems to have taught us little. Lafayette Courier.
Playgrounds Well regulated playgrounds for children are an uplift to a community. The Joy of youth is best exemplified in play. No city does its full duty that does not provide places where every boy and girl can play in safety. It is a matter of fact that the more extended the facilities the children have for playing, the better the health is
and the less crime there is. The boy nature is to
play, and if it is repressed, it will break out in
some form of badness. So when we go about over town and see the children chinning bars, climbing ladders, skinning cats, or hop, skip and
jumpinsr. then we know that one of the founda
tions of a fine citizenship is being laid. We never so wish we were a boy again as when we see one
of these playgrounds in full blast. Ohio State Journal.

, This la the tirst season under national control pf tfie stupendous, snowcapped mountain ridge of Colorado, the "Top of -t he- World;" the great backbone of the continent, how and hereafter to be designated the Rocky Mountain National Park. There are many mountains in the Colorado Rockies that exceed 14,000 feet In hplerht. hut onlv nne of the mis includ
ed in the park. Not for record-breaking altitudes, but for its supreme sce
nic magnificence and availability for .public use and resort, was that portion of the great range, of which Longs
Peak is the center, set aside for special development and administration. This was done by Congress at its last session. On July 1 Secretary Lane took formal possession by the appoint-
'ment Af Charles R. Trowbridge as tem
porary supervisor, with permanent headquarters at Eates Park, the natural gateway to this region of enchantment. The work of building a road by the Fall River Canyon from Estes Park across the range to Grand Lake on the west is now actively under way. This road is the State's contribution to the park. Full of Peaks. The Rocky Mountain National Park lies about 70 miles northwest of Denver. It contains about 350 square miles, not a foot of which is less than 8,000 feet above sea level. It lies on either side of the Continental Divide, which at this point runs irregularly north and south. "It simply bristles with mountain peaks," said Enos Mills to the House Committee on the Public Lands last December, "there are more than sixty that rise above 12,000 feet and a number between 13,000 and 14,000 feet, and one that rises above 14,000 feet. Between these peaks are a number of
mountain lakes, nearly 200 of them. These vary In size from a few acres up to fifty or sixty acres. They are all beautiful. Jn this region there are not only mountain peaks and mountain lakes but there are many kinds of wild life. For instance, you have in this region a preat number of mountain sheep, an animal as active and as alert and agile as the chamois in the Alps. He ranges in the higher parts of this section, sometimes running down to the lower regions. Grizzlies and Others. "In addition to the mountain sheep other big game are the grizzly bear ;- pnd the black bear; deer are quite '. common, and that interesting animal, the beaver, is exceedingly common. In addition to this. I hope you will remember that there are blooming in this section each year not less than 1,000 varieties of wold flowers. You t can not find in all the Alps in an equal area as many kinds of wild plants. In ' reference to this area being scenic, gentlemen. I want to call your atteni tion to the fact that there is no place In the world, off the rsilroad, that has, , during the past few years, been vis- . ited by as many people as this region v proposed for the Rocky Mountain National Park. Nature has made it a f-plfndid natural park."
This is the third statement of an article on the danger to the United
States from British diplomacy, prepared by the German-American alliance and submitted for publication by Hans Koll: 1
How was it brought about? By English diplomacy working through our
press T No. I don t say that every paper receives so and so many dollars

ernment. Even the Sayville line is censored and our mail interfered with. We
only hear the ONE side and JUDGE f
I do say the English have tremendous funds appropriated to Influence public opinion in ''neutral" countries; where the money goes, THEY know. You see in the headlines how the public mind is poisoned. You see it in the magazines, where Germans are pictured assassins, but the good common sense of the American people so far has kept them from being driven to a frenzy. ' Let us place side by side what the pacers say. and what everybody
knows are facts and what common sense will plainly and Irrefutably tell us to
be true: -

she conquered the Boer Republics, because there were gold and diamonds in thejr. country. 1 , ."Germany Is the aggressor" as to England. England was losing in peaceable competition part of her. trade to Germany. Germany got peaceably all she could possibly get. England wanted to deseroy Germany's trade as she destroyed Spain's and Holland's trade. Only ENGLAND COULD GAIN BY WAR, NOT GERMANY. As to France Did you ever hear of Germany wanting French territory? Didn't you, for 44 years, hear that France wanted the GERMAN province o'f Alsace-Lorraine ? As to Russia Did you ever hear that Austria or Turkey wanted Russian territory or did you never hear that Russia wanted to conquer and acquire Galicia, an access to the Adriatic, and Constantinople ? As to Italy The Italians even do not deny that they wanted to rob Austria of some provinces which were never Italy's. As to the United States Could you conceive of any reason why Germany at THIS time should attack the United States when she never at any time heretofore thought of it? German Militarism Is to Blame" German Militarism is smaller than Russia's smaller per capita and for time of Bervice than France's, infinitely smaller than England's whose militarism is, as a consequence of her geographical

The German army is by universal consensusthe best disciplined of any army. Disciplined soldiers rarely commit atrocities. The incensed population of Belgium (the most illiterate In Central Europe) with no authority restraining them, naturally are more inclined to do so. Bryce's book is founded on lies because the English had no 'way of getting at the facts in Belgium. The Suppression of the Actual Russian Atrocities by Our Paper German investigation with names, dates, etc., even physically suppressed by Britons Don t you know that Russia lives by virtue of atrocity? that the Cossack is notoriously and deliberately educated to commit acts of atrocity?

Seven out of every 100 third-grade public school children can not spell "has." This and other curious evidences of the special problems inherent in the teaching of spelling are brought out by Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, of the Russell Sage Foundation, in a study just published. As a result of combining the four most extensive studies that have been made to identify the words commonly used in different sorts of English writing, Dr. Ayres has selected the 1.000 words that constitute 90 per cent of the language ordinarily used. This selection was made from various English authors, from four Sunday newspapers of Buffalo, N. Y., and from the business and family correspondence of Over 2,000 adults. The objects of the study was to "develop a scale for measuring attainment in the spelling of common words on the part of school children." Cooperating with the city superintendents in 84 cities of the United States. Dr. Ayres had the 1,000 commonest words tested by an aggregate of 1,400,000 spellings, secured from
PETROGRAD, July 26. Although the Austro-German forces are now engaged in their supreme effort to take Warsaw and envelope the Russian center, the troops of Grand Duke Nicholas have checked the advance of the Teutonic allies in Poland and fresh troops in Galicia are attacking the AustroHungarian forces with a view to relieving the pressure at the northern end of the .battle line. Violent fighting is in progress between the Bug and Vistula rivers, in southern Poland, where the Russians were hard pressed. The Germans were able to gain some ground, but fierce counter-attacks were launched by the Russian forces which cost the enemy heavily. Russians Increase Attack. With the shortening of the Russian line and the withdrawal to points closer to the bases of supplies, the Russian resistance has stiffened, es-

with superhuman exertions, moved a great quantity of heavy artillery through the swamps and marshes to the front and this is being used to bombard the railway line in order to prevent the shipment of supplies and the movement of troops. Big Austrian and German guns are pouring a rain of shells upon the forts of Ivangorod. Aerial scouts of the Russian trops are having a difficult time locating the Teutonic batteries because of a new type of high angle guns which the Austrians are using and which have proved much more effective than the old style of antiaircraft weapons.

possible to accurately measure spelling ability, and to compute the amount of improvement in spelling the same words grade to grade. By a scale arrangement, extending on a line from 0 to 100, "spelling abil
ity" is easily and scientifically determined. For example, nine words of most frequent use, viz: "the," "in," "so," "no," "now." "man," "ten," "bed." "top," revealed that second-grade pupils, on an average, spelled correctly 94 per cent of these words. At the other extreme of the scale the words "judgment," "recommend," and "allege" were found to be spelled correctly by just 50 per cent of eightgrade pupils. Percentages above and below these would indicate variations from the normal in spelling. Dr. Ayres finds that "intellectual abilities are distributed in much the same way among people as are physical traits. Just as there are few dwarfs, many people of medium height and very few giants; so there are very few exceedingly poor spellers, many medium ones, and very few excellent ones. Few words do most of our work when we write. Fifty words constitute, with their repetitions, onehalf of the words written. The child who masters the 1.000 words on the
scale given will make no spelling er-
