The military authorities during the great war in Europe have not ignored the psychology of relaxation. Whenever and wherever it has been possible, diversion of some sort has been pro vided for the men at the front. At the camps and at the battle front have been established temporary theaters where the soldiers who are ofF duty are given a chance to relax and forget the hardships and horrors of war.

The Tables Turned At one of the New England univer sities there was a rather conceited un dergraduate, who was silly enough, on one occasion, to attempt to chaff a member of the faculty, who, in the youth's opinion, evinced too marked a devotion to the works " of Herbert Spencef. "Do you know," the youth said to his preceptor, "I hold rather a con tempt for Spencer." "I greatly fear, young 'man," was the response, "that your contempt has not been bred by familiarity."

Workmen's Compensation Law (1) On and after August 10, 1917, every employer of labor under the Workmen's Compensation Law must report to the Industrial Assident Board every accident that occurs to any of his employes within ten days after the accident occurs. , (2) If at the end of fourteen days it appears that the accident to the employe was so slight that the injur ed employe is not entitled to any compensation, a report stating the facts must be made to the Industrial Accident Board on the fifteenth day. (3) If on the other hand the em ploye was seriously injured, the em ployer must on the fifteenth day after the accident report to the Industrial Accident Board the condition of the injured employe so that proper pro ceedings may be taken to insure the payment of workmen's compensation to him. (4) Where an employe is injured so seriously that he is entitled to re ceive compensation on account of his injury, the first payment of the same is always due to him on the twenty first day after the accident, and em ployers must see that he receives it at that time, and future payments every week thereafter during his disability. , (5) In the case of every accident occurring on and after August 10, 1917, the employer must make all re ports relating to the accident. The reports cannot be made by the in surance companies. The employer make the reports himself, and see to it that they are filed with the In dustrial Accident Board. (6) Any employer neglecting to make the reports required is subject to a fine of fifty dollars for each fail ure or neglect. (7) The Industrial Accident Board" will supply free of charge to all employers the blank forms nec essary to be used by them in the mak ing of all the reports required to be made. All employers can. procure them by merely writing a letter to the Board asking for the forms they desire, which forms will be promptly supplied. (8) Every county, city, village, township and school district in the state is under the Workmen's Com pensation Law by its terms, and each of said municipalities must provide for the making of all reports to the Industrial Accident Board in just the same way that a private employer has to make them. It is the duty of the Board of Supervisors of all coun ties, of the Common Councils of all cities, of the 'Boards of Trustees of all villages, of the Township Boards of all townships and the School BoardsNof all school districts to ap point some person to make the reports of accidents to the Industrial Acci dent Board, and to look after the payment of compensation to em ployes that may be injured. As there are in the state 83 counties, 110 cities, 338 villages, 1,254 town Iships and about 7,500 school districts, it will be seen that the employes of all said municipalities taken togeth er constitute quite an army, and in the nature of things many of them will receive accidental injuries.- It is very important that all said muni cipalities shall make proper provi sion for looking after their injured employes according to the terms of the Workmen's Compensation Law. Europe's Sick-Man Sinking To the Editor: Whoever possesses Constantinople as the outcome of the war, there is singular unanimity of opinion that it shall not be the Turk. Tho convic tion seems overwhelming that the days of "the sick man of the east" are numbered.. The watchers at his bedside are not lovfng friends, and there will be few morners at his fun eral; but upon his decease will follow something worse than an Irish wake. His disintegration will not form the basjs for enduring peace). On the contrary, it will prove to be but the spark that will touch off the powder magazine of the nations. The dis memberment of Turkey will be but the prelude to the furious, final clash between East and West. Nor is such a statement based on human speculation and fallible fancy. In words too plain to be misunder stood, the divine book, picturing the final events of earth's history, says: "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east micrht be prepared." Revelation 1 C : 1 2. That Armageddon is separately linked with the extinction of the Turk is seen from the words which follow: "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of tho beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, work ing miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to tho battle of that great day of God Al mighty . . . And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." Revelation 16:13-16. So when the Turkish power is at last dried up, the black storm clouds of east and west will meet with a terrible rush, and the resultant deaf ening thunder of Armageddon will reverberate from one end of the earth to the other, while the blinding flashes of earth's last strife will re veal the contending forces of every nation in earth's last battle upon the fields of Esdraelon. And the carnage of that day will so far outstrip the slaughters of the bloody Somme that the latter will "not be remembered, nor come into mind." Such is the in ner meaning of the shrinking ter ritory of the Turk, and the play and counterplay for Constantinople, the goal of the rations for ages. Very sincerely yours, ' Mrs. Roswell Bliss. The Lass for Him A Scotchman, wishing to know his fate at once, telegraphed a proposal of marriage to the lady of his choice, After spending the entire day at the telegraph office he was finally re warded late in the evening by an af firmative answer. "If I were you," suggested the operator, when he delivered the mes sage, "I'd think twice before I'd marry a girl that kept me waiting all day for my answer." "Na, na," retorted the Scot. "The lass who waits for the night rates is the lass for me." , After what I owe 'God, nothing should be more dar or more sacred than tho lovo and respect I owe my country.
