Tin: blac k si:a. f The allies claim that th:ir Meet has reduced the outer furl of the Dardanelles, the first, and possibly most important. sttn to the- capture of Constantinople and the Bosphorus, whos4 numerous fortifications block the only entrance to the Black sea, that great inland ocean, upon the bosom of which, for centuries, no vesrel floated that did not fly the Hag of the Turk. Kmpty the haMn'of the Black Fea of its waters, take KiiKlantl, Scotland and Ireland, add Belgium, and plant them tide ly side within its shores and there would still remain ample room to pour in all the waters of the Lnsllsh channel. The Black sea is twice as large, almost, as the combined areas of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie. "ntario and St. 'lalr in our own land, and more than a tifth greater in size than the states of New York, New Hampshire. New Jersey, PennKylvania, .Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island Mid Delaware altogether. The Black sea is situated between Europe and Asia and is bounded on the west by Turkey, Bulgaria and Boumanla, on the northwest, north and east by the Russian dominions and on tho ith by Asia Minor. Ita watcrm axe not so clear as those of the Mediterranean, beini the receptacle of the floods of the Danube, Dniester, Dnieper, Don and other rivers, and are not so salt, thus freezing more quickly. It has few islands of moment but its fisheries arc of considerable value. Its chief ports are Odessa, Kherson. Nicola?co, Sebastopool, Novorossik, Batoum. Trebizand. Sansum and Varna. After the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 14 5;!, they excluded all but their own ships from the Black sc;i until 1774, when the Russians obtained the right to trade in it. In 178 4 the Fame privilege was extended to Austria and in 1 S02 to Britain and to France. The rapid increase of the Russian merchant marine and its ships of war, threatening the supremacy of Turkey, was one of the causes of the Crimean war by which Russian was compelled to cease keeping armed vessels on it, the entire sea being declared neutral territory by the treaty of Paris in 1856. However, in 1S71, in response J to the protest of Russia, a conference of European powers at London (at which France was not represented) (ie-ncutralized it. At the present time the Russian Black sea squadron, though not a formidable flotilla compared with the licet of Germany, is much superior to the Turkish naval force and the few ;cssiblo German cruisers that might have been permitted to pass the Dardanelles since the commencement of hostilities. The undisputed control of the Black sea and its passages to the open .Mediterranean by the triple entente is full of potentialities. Odessa, a sea port on Russian soil 9j0 miles south of Pctrograd, is the doorway to the unequalled granaries of the vast Russian domains. It has excellent rail connections and possesses a good harbor, ice-free except for a few days in midwinter. It exports tremendous quantities of grain, besides timber, sugar, hour, oil-seeds and cakes, beans, peas, etc. The other ports before mentioned also export quantities of food Stuffs. With tho Black sea, the Bosphorus und the Dardanelles In their possession and the rich store house of Russia, both in Europe and Asia open to them, the allies could well laugh at an embargo on supplies from the United States: in truth, would welcome it. for it would but tighten the colls about their foe. Merchant ships would convey the produce, of Russia to Constantinople, thence by rail to ervia. anil others, ronvoyed by men of war. through the Mediterranean, to England. France nd Belgium. From the shelter of the Dardanelles the Adriatic would be dominated and the Austrian coast line ffectually blockaded. KILL WE TKI1VT Til MM WISELY. Thousands of Poles blood broth;rs are fighting in the armies of Gernany. Russia and Austria. Whichever side wins. Poles will be oppressed jy the conquerors and many of them v i 1 1 turn to America as the refuge for he oppressed. What of Poles in America? There are already 4.000.000 Poles in he United States. Chicago probally ias more Poles than any city in the vorld save Warsaw. Cities like Cleveand. Detroit. Pittsburgh. Buffalo anl Milwaukee have over 40.000 each, vith larger numbers in New Ycrk and Philadelphia. Th Pole in America exhibits himclf as an economizer as to his living, tnd a saver on small wages.

promised influx into the country region. The Pole in America always discloses a strong ambition to own his own home and it is said on good authority that they are more generally home-buyers than any other nationality that comes to America. Poles are a sturdy people, and hard workers. What ITncle Sam prefers, and needs, is emigrants who are agriculturists, hard workers and ambitious to own their own home.". Such make patriotic citizens, citizens with a strong regard for the rights of men. Moreover, it is from such traits of character that something more than farmers spring. From Poland ave come some of the brainiest men in history, r a well na rimo if tb rnnct nrntTo. sive. Copernicus founded modern astronomical study. Sobieski saved Europe from the Turks.

Bet us steer them away from the mines and the wretched haunts of the cities! THE PRISONER AND HIS FAMILY. The older legal practice in this country complacently sent a man to jail for o0 days for getting drunk, and trusted to the neighbors to bring in food to the family. The neighbors were willing to do it. But more commonly the wife, determined little creature, would not le't any one know the vas in want. The laws have, disregarded too much the plight of women and children left without support by imprisoned husbands. It is therefore a pleasure to read that Miss May Allison of Los Angeles, Calif., has been appointed by the county supervisors to look after the money earned by married men sentenced to the chain gang. The husbands wages are to be deposited o her credit as trustee. When a man parts with his substance for intoxicating liquor, he must crawl home with " healthy sense of shame and sorrow for the privations of his little family. Bu after a period of this maudlin pity, he suddenly discovers that his wild courses do tend to create certain Independent sources of revenue. After he firmly acquires a reputation as a drunkard, kind neighbors will come In and save the wife and children from actual starvation. The more the husband drinks the more time he spends in jail, the more the family gets, and the freer he feels to squander his earnings. It is safer in many places to neglect your wife and children than to take a few dollars from a bank. The law hunts down the embezzler to Canada, but the machinery of extradition can't be started for mere non-support. It may be said that a deserted wife can gc back to the comfort of her former home. But after she has stood up in all the glories of her satins and laces and shower bowiuet and veil, it is hard to admit that the whole thins was a cheat ami a larce. It is easier to drop out of sight and struggle along as best she may. This control of husbajids' earnings is a good idea ai.J laws can't he made much too severe for neglect of families. IS THIS YOrit BIRTHDAY. Every school child in South Rend and Mishawaka is interested ir. this question because The News-Times is going to give all of these children a birthday party. These parties will be given on Saturday of each wee!: for the children whose birthdays occur during the week previous. The names of the children will be published in The News-Times and by coining to this office and getting their tickets. The tickets entitle them to admission to the Surprise. LaSalle. Colonial, Orpheum and Majestic theaters, another coupon will give them a dish of ice cream or a glass of soda water at the American drug store, and children who live ten or more blocks from the center of the city will be given free car tickets to ride home. The News-Times Is giving these Saturday birthday parties to entertain the children and to show them that the public as well as their parents and teachers has an interest in then. Parents and children should watch The News-Times closely so they will not miss the birthday parties. IS IT SO, ALBERT? United States Sen. Albert B. Fall of New Mexico is vigorously urging American intervention in Mexico. He is particularly venomous in his remarks about Villa. Let's see, didn't Villa put a new embargo on the Pearson railroad and lumber mills a little while back? And isn't Sen. Fall the representative of the English syndicate in this country?
SCHOOL ATIILI TTIC SIM KIT. It is sometime thought that school pupils have their minds only on athletic. Hut the boys who run high school sports often say that one of the difficulties they have to contend with is the indifference of many of the school pupils. It is quite a little proposition to run successfully a school athletic team. It may look easy to the business man. But as a. matter of fact, there are a ood many bills to pay. The grown tips are indifferent and don't attend he games much. The girls' would i.. her spend their pocket money on candy and ice cream. The boys go where the girls want to go. Loyalty is a tine trait. A boy who stands by his school comrades and roots for htm vigorously from the side lines, is likely to be the man who will be loyal to his home town when he grows up.
William Kettntr, democratic congressman from San Diego, has landed an appropriation of $ 4 SO, 000 for his district. Which shows the wisdom of subordinating political preference in returning our representatives to the national assembly. A republican congressman would likely have been courteously Ignored in his request for an appropriation. Peter Gross of Gillespie, 111., a few years ago traded an old horse for a tract of I'OO acres of land in Virginia. Because of the discovery of coal there he recently sold the land for $400.000. While there is no reliable authority for the statement this is hew the expression "a horse on him" possibly originated. Alfred Broock was arrested in Walla Walla, Wash., the other day for parading the streets flourishing several large, live snakes. No wonder there's so many men on the water wagon in Washington. New York supreme court approves incorporation of the American legion, war reservists. One of the directors is T. Roosevelt, jr., son of the man who charged up San Juan hill all alone, or didn't. At Portland, Ore., they've, found a suicide sitting dead in his auto. No one had come by to help him crank up the blamed thing. Statesmen Real and Near. By Fred C Kelly WASHINGTON', March 10. Benjamin (I. Humphreys, Mississippi congressman, was born while his father, Brig.-Gen. Benjamin G. Humphreys, was Confederate governor of Mississippi. At the close of the war Humphreys senior refused to resign as governor, and was forcibly ejected from the executive mansion by federal soldiers. The future congressman was then three years of agd and was c.-.rried from the executive mansion In the arms of a nurse. Naturally, as he grew older, he heard many times the story of his exit from the governor's home in front of a company of Yankee soldiers. Humphreys did not have occasion to enter that executive mansion again until 189S. And when he did so lie himself wore a Yankee uniform, for he had just organized and become first lieutenant of a company going to the Spanish-American war. At a dinner in honor of the Spanish ambassador at the British embassy a little while ago Sen. James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois had the honor of sitting next to Mme. Rlano, wife of the Spanish ambassador. Now, Mme. Riano is an American, but it so happens that she looks like a perfect example of Spanish beauty. On this occasion she was gowned, as usual, with exquisite taste and wonderful splendor. Sen. Lewis, it will be remembered, is the most completely vogue statesman we have. Being the expert he is at personal adornment, he could not resist complimenting the charming woman on her gown. "Well. I rt it from Paris." she replied. "Notwithstanding the war and all its troubles I was able to get the latest creation of the French." "Yes, and do you know,", earnestly declared Lewis, "I like the women just as the women prefer their salad with French dressing." That recalls a much less commendable remark iccently uttered by Sen. Lewis. It was in a cloakroom of the senate. Mr. Root of New York had just presented to s. number of colleagues his successor in the senate, Jimmy "Wadsworth. Somebody commented on he likeness of the new senator to his father, former Congressman James W. Wadsworth. That brought on a discussion of the likeness of son to father in a number of instances where both have occupied positions in public life. Sen. Root referred to an eminent man from New York who had red hair, but who. nevertheless, rose to a high place. The man's son, who also had red hair, moved to one of the middle western states and from there was sent to congress. In due course a grandson of the first stateman rose likewise to an eminent position and "Well, interrupted Sen. Lewis with a shriek of laughter, "that was surely a case of hair-red-ity." "Mr. Lewis." observed Root tone of righteous indignation, all the other senators had through laughing, "men have killed for less than that." in a after got been The recent cominp and goin? of Washington's birthday, recalls this: Down at Mt. Vernon, where (leorcre Washington Is buried, the aj;ed colored m:rn who guards the tomb and nearly all the older attendants refer to the Father of His Country simply as "The General." The old colored puard speaks of "the cen'l" having done this and "the Ken'l" having done that, with an easy though respectful familiarity, quite as if the two had been great cronies. But here is a thing the guards have noted: Nine out of ten of the visitors at Mt. Vernon speak of George Washington just as George. They'll say: "Which room did George occupy?" Thus are wo an informal people toward our heroes.

The crossing cop got a cigar. 'Twas such a surprise. That he winked both his eyes. And gazed after the "jitney" car. Oh! I'd rather own that car, sir. With Peggy for my bride, Than r limousine of red and green And a lady by my tide. For the lady would sit fornenst mo On a cushion of horsehair. And Peggy would sit beside me To collect the "jitney" fare. CHORUS. While we sat in the "jitney" car, To be married by Father Maher, OI I'd throw it in "high," With a glance and a sigh, Though it were in a "jitney" car. S. H. C. IT looks to us as though old J. C.
