As the Swiss government shares in financing the enterprise, provision is made that the government is to share in the profits if the mining Should be successful. The society would be transformed into a shareholding one, to which the license would be granted under certain conditions. Owing to the serious shortage of coal in Switzerland, much importance attaches to the prospecting efforts in the Bernese Jura Mountains.

i This is an unfortunate day, according to astrology, for Kepttlna rules strongly for evil. It is a time for reflection and for visiting friends. In tha morning women should find their relatives Inclined to ha mora generous and kindly than usual. The early hours are auspicious for making new friends of opposite sax andvf or the beginning of love affairs, but after noon the rule is most lucky. There is a sign held to presage great exposures of corrupt social conditions in which degeneracy is discovered to exist.

This is said to be due to -the malign influenceof Neptune in an aspect which Inclines men toward vices whlJh have always marked the end of an epoch In human existence. This Is a day most menacing for travel and commerce on the sea. Journeys even on inland. waters should be delayed. Sagittarius rising in Petrograd is read as presaging financial difficulties for the new government, but It will receive aid that helps It toward stability, A tremendous victory for the army is foretold for late June or July.

The closest approach to a parallel we have to the revolution in It was udge Kenefick who appeared before the Council, and put the case so cogently that the opposition withdrawn. Therein Russia, is the French revolution of 1789. Judge Kenefick has performed a notable public service. But the im Now it is universally known that the French government, for pcrtance of the lesson to be drawn from it is every whit commensurate with the public service itself. It was from a representative member of the ousted School Board that the initiative came which low, tSie Kaiser ii i ted assures the city of the perpetuation of this indispensable work of research.

Judge Kenefick successful advocacy, of it represents the position which was all along maintained by the School Board. In short, the Council now admits that the School Board was some years after that revolution, suffered from far greater instability than; anything which- has yet manifested itself in the new Russia. .4 Yet, one of the most salient facts in history, is, that the French government of that time, in the face of a more than equivocal do-mesti actuation, carried on war with tremendous vigor and effectiveness. NCataclysraic political agitations in Paris, and all over Fpance, could not prevent France during those years making head gainst a formidable coalition of foes. (' It is a blunder to attach exaggerated significance to the disturbances in Russia.

The assumption that because of these ebullitions, the Russian people have a disposition to make a separate peace, is more than premature. It is' not supported by such facts as we know, and many things that we know point to the direct opposite of anv such conclusion- right and the Council was wrong. This right-about-face of the Council testifies, from the very source which deposed the School Board, to WorM jgairist ennaey me the excellence of the service which the School Board was doing.

1 Tha4 fight for "The Ladies' Highway" was anything but ladylike. The Kaiser's eligibility for the Nobel peace-prize occurs to one editor as he cbntemplates the burning away of old distrusts and hatreds among the once hostile peoples now banded together, in as well as a military alliance against the Cenwal Powers. England and France fcrget their ancient feuds, England, and Russia, their territorial jealousies, Russia and Japan their quarrels in Asia while the "United States, brushing aside old wrongs and recent suspicions, steps into line beside England and Japan In the great alliance whose dominant purpose is to make the world "safe for democracy." As visible symbols of this hew spirit of international brotherhood among former foes, he sees the flags of the Allies flying side bv side in the various and the Stars and Stripes beside the Union Jack above the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa and Westminster, no foreign flag was ever before unfurled, In THE LITERARY DIGEST for May 5th, the feature-article presents the concensus of American public opinion upon the yisit of the British and French Commissions and the far-reaching results which the conferences at Washington will develop. In Addition to this complete description of one of the greatest events that has taken place in the history of the States, and of the world, other articles that should be read in this number are: 1 Should the Government Prices for Food? The Arguments For and Against Such Regulation WORTH The Utica Herald-Dispatch notes that of all the speeches made in The opening of subscriptions to the $2,000,000,000 Liberty -Loan forms a direct test of the public response to the duty of financing the war, and the answer is Yesterday 10,000 banks in every section of the country were taking subscriptions over their counters. The demand for the bonds was so great that subscriptions poured into the treasury at the rate of nearly $20,000,000 an hour.

The eagerness for these bonds is superb testimony to the resources of the great republic whose credit is pledged. It is of equal significance as bearing witness to the zeal of the public in the cause for which these immense sums are advanced. All through the war governments have regarded the prompt flotation of war expenses as a sound criterion of the public enthusiasm. The response in the case of the Liberty Loan is an event of the highest encouragement to the government at Washington, and ratifies, in the most emphatic manner, the measures taken by Congress for financing the war. Petrograd during the May Day fete, not one contained a word about a separate peace.

It gives both sides of 'every occurrence in the language of the publications recording it, and it has no incentive to garble or change such accounts in any way, its policy being one of strict impartiality in all fields, social, religious, political, the rest. For a fair, concise, unbiased presentation of actual facts read "The Digest." News that is really news, that is accurate as to facts and recent as to date, is certainly hard to gst nowadays.

In addition to the ordinary difficidties that beset the path of newspaper editors, many others have now arisen. The unreliability of 'reports, the bias of sources of information, political expediency, the censor's pruning-knife all tbse make the gathering of real news harder than ever before.

It may be that the labor leaders anticipate the winter coming back, and, judging by the existing weather conditions, no one can be blamed for thinking that.

It is not at all likely, however, that prisoners will be hired on the streets again unless identical conditions as prevailed during the past winter again arise. Then, just as certain as the sun rises they will be hired. There was no other way of getting the snow off the streets last year, no other way of opening up roadways for the fire apparatus, or of making traffic possible than by the timely "use of prisoners on the snow. It was not the sort of labor the city wanted on its streets. It was not what anybody wanted.

But it was almost providential that such labor was available. We did not notice at that time anyone coming forward to supply labor or to complain about what was being done. The case last winter was not one of finding work for the prisoners. The county has a farm and it has certain unimproved roads in the country wnere such employment can, be given them. Last winter's efforts was a case of where the city was calling for help, and the prisoners were put on the job.

Of course, it helped out those who have the task of finding work for prisoners. The best students of penology everywhere commend the system of employment in" Buffalo where prisoners are worked on a farm and in improving roads so far removed from the main lines of travel that in the ordinary course of government affairs it would be years before such roads are touched; It provides work in the open, and plenty of it. At the same it is constructive, productive employment, and the county benefits as well as the prisoners by reason of the-iabor expended. That, however, is a vastly different matter than the' one about whicrf the labor leaders complained yesterday. MAYBE.

Among the investigations made in different localities those in the Bernese Jura appear to be commanding particular attention. The Bernese government, in co-operation with the department of forestry, under whose direction mining is classified, has been studying the question for some years.

A distinguished geologist- Prof. Schmidt, of Basel, Switzerland stated that coal deposits are likely to be found north of Mont Terrible, in the Bernese Jura Mountains. -As long "ago as 1888, license was given to a Zurich firm to start drilling in the vicinity of Cornol, in the Bernese Juia, but no use of the license was made. Later new inquiries were undertaken, and Boncourts and Buits, both villages situated close to the French border in the. district of Porrentruy Canton Berne, were designated ields of investigation.

Boncourt is the last station on Swiss territory as one leaves the country via Porrentruy-Delle. It is said that coal, has been found at about 2,600 to 3,900 feet underground, and it is hoped to find other deposits' in the same district. According to the Bernese mining law, mineral wealth discovered within the territory of the Canton of Berne belongs in. the first instance to the cantonal government.
