To the questions put to him on Sat­
urday the Count von Bernstorff re­
plied, “Let the (American) people
thing what they will.” It was a mod­
erate and sensible message; and it is
not out of order to record the fact
that the Count von Bernstorff has
been enlightened lately as to the dif­
ficulty of making them think other­
wise thanas they will.
The declaration of Lord Beresford
that Germany is trying to drive the
United States into war is not plaus-
able. For weeks Berlin has been earn­
estly laboring with Austria to grant
concessions that would keep Italy
neutral. Why should the hostility of a
greater and stronger power than It­
aly be sought?
A Cleveland minister warns the
young women of the congregation
not to be coquettish with the men
who are courting them. All of which
leads the initiated to think that some
giggling one-stepper put an awful
hook into the good man before he
discovered that to her he represented
merely theater tickets and candy.
The old rtlief that human hair can
turn white in a single night through
fear or grief has no foundation, ac­
cording to scientists, This doesn't
mean to include the hair of which
hangs on the back of the chair.
Vincent Astor’s flying boat was
wrecked and the pilot injured. It is
difficult to understand how a man
with even as much money as Astor
has can afford to take a chance in a
flying boat.
Once more the dattle of the lawn
mower is heard in the land. How it
reminds one in the early morning
hours of the noise associated with a
boiler shop running full time.

It is officially confirmed that China
has accepted all the Japanese de­
mands. And China will be in much
less danger of encroachment by Eu­
ropean powers hereafter because »he

Baltimore's uppercrust ha» been
given cause to worry because of the
declaration that a Reno divorce is
not valid in Maryland.
Possibly the cool snap is a humor­
ous protest of Old Boreas against the
impudence of the sports who hurried
the straw hat season.
All of the belligerents diubtless arc
tired of war. But that does not indi­
cate that peace is within sight.
Now approaches the season when
every man’s character is put to its
severest test House-cleaning soon
will begin.________________

follows:—No exhibitor of live stock
shall be allowed to make more than
two entries in any one lot.
Rule 20, page 71, change to provide
