Mr. George Wlckershntn. formerly attorney general of the United State*, hnso come out with a protect against the policy of *uppre**lon of new* from th* state department. This policy, It it c*n he railed a polley. Is In reality nothing more than the , atural reault of attempting a thing which 1* Impractical'. Under the Beaiimptlon that no se cret 1* kept frog* the public and that every voter In thg country ha* a right to know all that goes on In Washing ton the state department ha* been gradually drifting Into a department of my*tery. not to gay darkness. Thl* ha* become necenanry, for the very reaeon that the public nnd the news papers have felt It their right to aleze upon every hit of Information and -every matter, promising sensation and diversion. It appear* to he a ease of gvrlaging too far hark In the old di rection because of trying to go to im poNslhl. length* in the new. Mr. Wlckersham point* out that every other civilized nation In the world puhllßhe* from time to time an au thoritative statement, with the diplo matic correspondence relating to every Incident of International relation which concerns that country. While the United States makes no such puhltcnt.on*. It 1* assumed, wo suppose, that the press keep* the peo ple Informed and for this reason no regular policy of setting forth corre spondences over International inci dents has ever been followed. But it, of course. Is obvious that In deli cate matters between foreign powers. It would be mischief-making and ruinous to 1 eep the public Informed by allowing news to he freely snd ln dlscrlmlnatlngly played up In the dally pa pers. Mr. Wlckersham think* that the Whole conduct of our foreign affairs 1* •nil-democratic In the extreme. He declare* he ran “think of no reason why the United States should pursue a policy In this regard so en tirely at variance with the theory of our government and with the conduct of other nations. Tho publication from time to time of blue hooks, white pa pers or the like—that Is, of authorita tive statements of questions which hsve arisen between our country and foreign nations and of the correspon dence regarding them would do more to create what seems to me to he lack ing at the rrreent tltnr. that la, an in telllge nt public sentiment regarding foreign lifts lie. than any agency he can think of." We think the suggestion t» worth Studying. Secretary Bryan hs* prob ably felt thai s* complete frankness In giving Immediate news is impoa slb’e, th* best he could do was . » drift into the traditional w-nya of se crecy and keep the whole business quiet. Indeed, until the Information from this department can be Issued in the formal and statistical manner of the white paper and blue books It is better not to give It out at al'. Au thorities In Washington would prob ably have no anxieties about giving out news tc the citizens of this coun try If It were not for the artful snd Ingenious manner In which partisan snd unscrupulous papers distort snd gnrble the Information at hand. In the “Not hostile, but unfriendly” Incident w* have a clear ease in point. When the correspondence we* closed and the Incident was past, the presi dent ordered an authoritative state ment of the question nnd points. A regular policy of giving formal and accurate Information would bring our people to a much bettor comprehen sion of our International relationships and help them to act with greater pci,ic and wisdom, when such mat ters ars under discussion.

Jack Rabbit wa* coming over tho hill one morning to visit Farmer Jones' cabbage patch. lie knew quite well that Mr. Dog lived at the farm, for he had offer heard him harking at night, but ho thought he might sleep In the daytime. But Jack Rabbit was mistaken about Mr. l>og, as ho soon found out, for Just ua he reached the edge of the gar yov /*«r ocrr7''\ j?oe Mi? den where the cabbage* grew, he caught sight of Mr. I)og, and Mr. Dog saw him, too. Jsck Rabbit darted Into a hole In the ground and sat very quiet. “Are you not coming out?" asked Mr. Dog, after waiting a while In front of the hole. •lack Rabbit know that Mr. Dog was Inquisitive, and he also knew there whs another hole not fnr from the one he had entered, and he ktiew also that Mr. Dog was watching that. too. “What Is In there?” asked Mr Dog, poking In hts nose as fast as he could Jack Rabbit ran to the other hole, and had hts head out, hut Mr. Dog was too quick for him and he was there In a Jiffy. "Oh, I thought you were at this end," said Jack Rabbit, Jumping buck. “Cant't you get your head In a little Do Your Christmas Sho Don’t wait to do your Christmas shop ping early—DO IT NOW. Tho stores are groaning in their ful ness. Stocks are new, fresh, complete, mul inviting. If you shop now you choose at leisure from ample varieties and get the best the markets afford in the way of goods and service. Just turn to the advertising columns of The Herald and begin making out your Christmas lists. At no season of the year will you find the advertising more helpful—more saving of your time and money. INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad farther nnd see the nice bones and pieces of meat? I would bring them out to you but I nm so little that I cannot lift them.” Mr. Dog was all excitement, he Jumped from one hole to the other, and wagged Ills tall, giving little, sharp harks as he went. “Oh. dear!” thought Jack Rabbit, "ho will have tho fnrmer here with his gun If he does not keep still. "Mr. Dog! Mr Dog!" he called. “Don't tmtkn such a nolao. I saw the dog at the next farm ns I came over the hill and this is where he has stored Ills hones nnd meat he took from his master’s pantry, if you make such a loud nolso he will come running hack nnd catch you, and you will lose a nice dinner. Do keep quiet and I will try to help to get all there Is here." Mr. Dog stopped harking at once, hut he kept Ills nose rlose to the hole and urged Jack Rabbit to try to get tho meat to the opening. “If you could only manage to get your head In a little further,” said Jack Rabbit, “I am sure I could drag this very large bone to you. and per haps this piece of beef I see In one corner Scratch a little of the earth away nnd then give your head a hard push Into the hole, nnd I am sure you will he able to get them." lty this time Mr. Dog had forgotten all about catching Jack Rabbit. He thought only of the hones nnd tho piece of beef Jack Rabbit had told him about ll* scratched away the enrth as Jack Rabbit suggested, Hnd then, step ping hack, he gave a plunge forward and In went his head. “Where nre the beef and the hones?" he asked, easting his eyes about, hut he did not sec either. All he saw was the tip end of Jack Rabbit's hind legs as he flew out of the other hole. Mr. Dog tried to withdraw his head hut he found he was held fast and *ll the time he was kicking nnd pulling. Jack Rabbit was running as fast as his little legs could carry him over the hill to his own home. (Copyright 1014 hy the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City.)

CRACOW Onrnw, the Russian objective In the campaign In Galicia, is described by the Encyclopaedia Britannica as “the most Interesting town in the whole of Po land.” “No other Polish town possesseg so many old and historic buildings,'’ says this authority, “none of them contains so many national relics, or has been so closely associated with the development and destinies of Poland as Cracow. And the ancient capital is still the intellec tual centre of the Polish nation. “Cracow Is situated in a fertile plain on the left bank of the Vistula (which becomes navigable here) and occupies a position of great strategical importance. CYacow has 39 churches about half the number it formerly had—and 25 con vents for monks end nuns. Of these the most important is the Stanislaus cathe dral, in Gothic style, consecrated in 1X59. ami built on the Wawel, the rocky emi nence to the s. \V. of the old town. Here the kings of Poland were crowned, and this church is nlso the Pantheon of the Polish nation, the burial place of its kings and its great men. Here lie the remains of John Sobleskt, of Thaddaeus Koscluszko, of Joseph Poniatowskl and of Adam Mlcktewlcz. Hc4*e also are con served the remains of St. Stanislaus, the patron saint of the Poles, who, as bishop of Cracow. \nhs slain before the altar by King Poleslnus in 1070. The cathedral is adorned with many valuable objects of art. paintings and sculptures, by such artists as Veit Stoss, Guido Reni, Peter Vi sc her, Thorwaldsen, etc. Part of the acient Polish regalia is also kept here." Housed In a magnificent Gothic build ing is the Jngelloni-m University. “The language of instruction is Polish; it is the second oldest university in Europe— the oldest being that of Prague—and was famous during the 15th and 16th centuries. It was founded by Casimlr the Great in 1364, and completed by IgtdisHus Jaglello in ‘I4OO. Its rich li brary is now housed in the old university buildings erected in the 15th century. In the beautiful Gothic court of which a bronze statue of Copernicus was placed in 1900. The Polish Academy of Sci ence, founded in 1K72, is housed In the new university buildings. “Among the manufacturers of the town are machinery, agricultural Imple ments. chemicals soap, tobacco, etc. Hut Cracow is more important at a trading than as an industrial centre. Its position on the Vistula and at the Junc tion of several railways makes it the natural mart for the exchange of the products of Silesia. Hungary and Rus sian and Austrian Poland. ,# DEFECTIVE AMMUNITION AT FRONT QUESTION. ENGLISH London. Questions are to ho asked In Parliament about the reports eon crmtnK defective ammunition at the front. Several of the Hritlsh shell* -Vein to have hurst heforo*lhey were fired. and many artillery officers were wounded on the Anne, not by the en emy. hut by several of their own shells. It Is Impossible In a heavy action carefully to examine every shell hut it Is claimed that this should have been done before the ammunition was sent to the front, and that the persona who are responsible should be brought to book.
