Dut it's possible to hazard a pretty safe guess. Ile will prob ably try to do in thc Balkans rwhat he did in South Africa/ When the Doer? hud hold out against thc Hritih.li urmies until thc prsctlgu of thc Urltlah empira was threatened, "Kitchener of Khartoum" wat; Kent to Bupprc-ss them. He didn't do anything melodramatic-Kitchener ian't the melodramatic sort. ?le tackled the Job OB a sort of engineer ing problem, ile started from the cape and built a row of blockhouses across tho little oud of the continent, half a mile apart, facing the Boers* most advanced outposts. That .mude a fence of fortifications tho Boers couldn't cross. Thon ho forced them buck a few miles and built nu )i her line of blockhouses across South Af rica. He repeated that laborious, tedious operation,, littlo by llttlo crowding the Boera back and wear ing them down until their resources wero gono and .their spirit was broken. * Kitchener may try something of the aanio uort in tho Balkan Peninsula. Ho will seo, of course,-to the tighten ing of Britain's political and military fencos in Egypt, along the Suez canal and around Gallipoli, and in India if tho need appoars. But bis nain task Hocms to Ho north of Constantinople. If he can cut through between tho Teutons and tho Turks, and thon with tho aid of tho French. and Italians and possibly tho QreqkB, slowly roll tlio invaders northward out of ' the Balkan peninsula, he will have won a blggor triumph than lie won in South Africa;*.'ana i made German do tent alniont inovltablo. It's a Job worthy of "K. of K." ?j ! ? . MISPLACING PITY Don't pity .the children of "poor in tho brie ? Spaten ; America wbero thoy have been -supposed' to dasorve the most commiseration for their hard lot-in -r^-'i?rk^?-B?at' Side. For thoy haW-a bettor chance to-succeed in life than have tho children of na tive Americana. ' Such at anylt/atjQ seems a fair in ference from a roport of.the New York health department. It appears thut in nativo born families 44 out ot every 1,000 boys-and SS ?out of every .1,000 girls die before the age of five years.' Among; the.foreign born only 30 boya die, and o?iy 32 girls. Part cf tho'difference may be count ed for by the' explandtioh that char itable institutions do more. Education al work among the allons than ?meng native. Americans, but that doesn't carry much conviction. It is doubt ful whether Buch instruction really counterbalancesT'the* deleterious ef fects of ignorance, -poverty and un sanitary housing. It-ia- -really- the greater, natural - vigor o? tho allen children-that enables them, even in n bad envlornment, to reslBt tho all then ta of infancy better .than childi-- a of older Americans.. . '"*'.'. . Add to this lower - deathrato *ue fact that the- birth rate anion;;' our im migrants is from 30 to 60 per thou sand, vr?ii?o ??io??g American-born it i ls only from 12 to 20, and lt is easily 5???

The leaders of the organ isation soy that while wo aro organ izing our national defense, wo must make olaborato.preparations for tuk in-; care of the soldiers that would bo wounded hv case of war^. ?Th?y want to form ? larder organization, to es tablish dla t vinni in g ant Bupply sta tions at various points throughon:. the country. and_ tovaccumulato. a great otr-k of supplies and atore them in government warehouses. They want to obtain and co.uf? special Red Cross railroad trains, Mfc'ixf bite available ambulances sufficient for a great cam paign. _ ' '"."-.- .';:'V- ' ' !.' To carry out those plans, they say, they neted1 at'laahl^ $100,00 D,O0O.

You can't lose-whether you pay $10, $15, $18 or more. m " The Store with *a Conscience" new basia. We faco tho prospect o? doubling, or even trebling, our war expenditure:) for the next few years, although they aro already as heavy BB Germany's were until lat-ly. Arid on top of that, tho Red Cross wants $100,000,000 more of our money. ' This is turning national defense in to national hysteria. Certainly wo want to strengthen our defonses, but there is no immediate reason why we should lose our heads about' it. Let its have more soldiers and Bailors and ships 'and guns, though by no means so many as the alarmists are clamor ing for;. Let us have, too, a Red Cross organization of. the highest efficiency, and a Red CroBB plan worked out in every det?il for handling the Bituation In caBO of foreign invasion. But there la no more need to raise $100,000, 000 today to i'm unco the Red Cross for a hypothetical war'than there is tb establish expensive detention camps for the prisoners Wo expect'to. tako in that. war. If tba .Red. Cross want?: to raise millions of dollars to spend in al leviating the present suffering In Europe, that is a different matter. No body can object, to that, and. every body who can afford to should con tribute. HOBE "JERSEY JUSTICE" It !B a little difficult to grasp. tho philosophy ot Mark Fagan, mayor of Jersey City, with rogar? to tho liquor problem. Tho mayor, who is known as a friend of the children, lias had mia ire aroused by the refusal ot .apart ment houses along Hudson Boulevard to admit families with children. Cast ing about for a lever to use in forc ing, thom to adopt a more liberal policy,' he finds e?e ready to his hand. A request reaches the city ball, for a bar. license* for a $40,OOO. apartment house: to be erected. Most "bf . these big, modern institutions, it appears, have barb Thereupon Mayor Fagan announces; lils, policy: "No kids, no bars! I will not tol era to . a liquor license ia any placo' whero children are forbidden/*.^ Tho logical connection between tho children abd tho bars may not be per fectly obvious, but ita there, no doubt. Perhaps the bars are for tho children. Anyhow . the liquor la to bV conven iently . avail ablo only to tba fi at-d wei - 1^ who hes children. . And the flat dweller who hasn't any. kiddles to buy atices for and set a good example te, ahd whose alcoholic indulgence Would be least harmful to his family and so ciety in general-ho- ia ib go thirsty.
