GOOD MORNING! Now Italy is preparing Green book. By the time we get into this muse there won't be any colors left. Wake, up, health authorities, and arise to the situation!

She has already considerably aided the allies by mobilizing her troops and threatening to invade Austria, and has made necessary the diversion of a considerable body of Germans and Austrians to watch her. Whatever they may promise now to keep her out would be no better than any other "scrap of paper" should they finally win.

Her own safety lies in making sure that Germany and Austria shall be defeated and' defeated so that they can't "come back" for many years. The Italian army should be well prepared and equipped by this time, and ought to be able to carry the war into Austrian territory and be of some help in reducing Constantinople also. A trip through Dutchess County will convince anyone that many of our farmers are alive to their extraordinary opportunities and are endeavoring to the best of their ability to cultivate every inch of ground possible, but there are nevertheless many others who do not seem to be planting more than usual. With the high prices that have been ruling for all farm produce and particularly. for, feed Dutchess ought to raise more corn this year.

than ever before, and we ought also to be weeding out the destructive dogs and putting sheep on our hillsides. Then too we ought to be raising more pork than ever before. Think of the time when Dutchess County pork used to, be one of the main sources of supply of the New York Market! The farmers made money then. KINDNESS TO ANIMALS. A person perhaps feels more comfortable it he never stops to think whether the animals' around him are living comfortable lives or not.

Also he is more popular among certain classes of people. The story is told of a certain young woman who used to warn drivers of horses that they did not care for their animals properly. As a result, every grocer's boy in the town made it a practice to crack his whip violently over the "horse's head every time he saw this earnest protagonist of the dumb beasts. But kindness to animals is a good cause. The American Humane Society is planning a country wide observance, having appointed May 23 as Humane Sunday, and the week before is "Be Kind to Animals Week." These occasions are well worth talking about in day schools and Sunday schools.

In almost any town 4 a certain proportion of the horses look ill fed. Still more of them are left out in hot days in the broilling. sun, with no protection from insects. In cold weather many horses-are imperfectly covered. Two-thirds of the people who keep dogs and cats never think to give them any water, which they are forced to pick up from drains or mud paddles.

Drivers permit horses to wear ill. fitting and chafing harness. And so on for long catalogue of offences against the voiceless side of creation. Police officers in most places are not apt to enforce the cruelty to animals law very strenuously. They have troubles enough with drunkards and thieves and vagrants.

most people a horse is a horse and a dog dog. Few are interested enough to give keen enough inspection to individual beasts of burden to detect signs of neglect or abuse. The American feeling for personal liberty is strong. The man who gives his horse only half enough to eat resents being called in question for it. POUGHKEEPSIE EAGLE NEWS.

A THRILLING TRIP A. S. Garland Describes His Experi, ences on Steamer Orduna. On his return from a short tirp abroad, A.

were kept completely in the dark," he said, "regarding the course the ship took. Ordinarily a chart is visible to all passengers having access to the cabins and smoking rooms, but on this trip we were practically blindfolded." The reason for this was supposed to be the catching sight of a periscope a few miles out from the English port. The submarine itself was not tered. It was probably lying in wait for the ship, but the latter took flight in the opposite direction. There were 50 many turns and twists in the course after that first fright that nobody except the officers of the ship knew whether the Orduna was sailing towards Scotland, -Ireland or France.

BROTHER RAPHAEL DEAD Principal of St. Peter's School Expires of Pneumonia After Three Days Illness. After an illness of a week, Brother Peter Raphael, principal of St. Peter's Parochial School for boys, died Wednesday morning from pneumonia at St. Francis Hospital.

Peter's School will be closed until Friday. Brother Raphael was born in France, near Lyons, in October, 1875. He was educated in the Marist School near Lyona and entered the order of Marist Brothers in 1890. In 1894 he came to New York City and for five years taught in the Marist Brothers High- School in, that city. Brother, Raphael taught, for five years in the St.

Jean Bappite Parochial School 8.8 well as instructing in different schools in Canada.

Post Office, a8 Second' Class Mail Matter. THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1915. THE FEDERAL RESERVE DEM. Undoubtedly the organization and comparatively smooth working of Federal Reserve System strengthens our National Banking System against emergencies. We had to meet the great emergency of the European war last summer without it, to be sure, and the Vreeland-Aldrich Act sufficed.

That act will expire by limitation on July 1st or this year. We rather regret that it has not been given a further extension, but the Federal Reserve System ought to be able to take care of any further emergenoy. It isn't Hikely that our entry into the European war, if it should come, would create a furry of any consequence as our industries are pretty well adjusted to a war basis. The disturbance of commerce and the complete break down of international exchange which happened last summer couldn't be caused again by any clash between our country and Germany, because we are already pretty well cut off from commercial relations with. Germany, and German cruisers with possibly one exception have been swept off the seas.

Thet Federal Reserve System as means of insurance against panic is nevertheless rather. cumbersome and altogether too expensive. There is no sense in maintaining twelve reserve banks with highly salaried officials and well appointed banking houses when one bank or at most three or four, could do the work just as well and at a small fraction of the cost. Many of the National Banks that have been compelled to enter the system are already complaining of the unnecessary expense from which they have so far derived no benefit. beyond an added sense of security.

The Federal Reserve Banks have so far done practically no business, Only two of them have made expenses, we are told, to say nothing of dividends It is interesting to note the efforts of the Federal Reserve Board to make the cumbersome 12-bank system work like one bank. The twelve Federal Reserve Banks have each been required recently to deposit at least $1,000,000 in gold with the Reserve Board to establish a "Reserve Board Gold Fund" to effect settlements between the different reserve bankssort of extra clearing house arrangement under government control, something that ought to be. 'entirely unnecessary. In a sense the Federal Reserve Board Itself has been. constituted a central bank.

The whole system is a process of pyramiding. The Federal Reserve Banks are piled on the National Banks and maintained- so far at least their expense, and the Federal Reserve Board with its central reserve gold fund, stands at the apex on top of the Federal Reserve Banks. And side by side with all this we still have the independent treasury and sub-treasury system which costs a lot of money and ought -to be abolished. The funds in the sub-treasuries ought to be deposited in the Federal Reserve Banks. We are glad to see that amid the excitement over the sinking of the Lusitania 'and the President's note to Germany, some.

one writing to: The New York Sun--of course it couldn't be any other paper- has had time to read the note critically and to discover that there are some sentences in it that are not in accordance with the rules of English grammar or the practice of the best writers. The fact is that the note mixes up singulars and plurals in several places. It says in one place, "The German Imperial Government is" and in another place uses "are" and refers to that government as "they." This might be explained on the theory that the President Rad other things on his mind than the exact agreement of a verb with its subject, especially when reasonably good -usage sanctions either the singular or the plural, but the President in generally at least consistent in his grammar. The note was signed by William J. Bryan.

and 'we prefer to. belleve that President Wilson felt it necessary to give color to the fiction that Mr. Bryan had something to, do with its composition. Italy might as well get in the war without further delay.
