IIo will go to the front to sing to the. soldiers la the trenches. This is a happy solution of a vexing question. An able-bodied man can scarcely feel comfortable doing nothing to help when his country Is In danger. An artist naturally feels that apprecia- tion of his art which makes him re- luctant to imperil hts person because of the loss to the public. If, by sing- ing In the war none, Harry Lauder Is able to encourage the men In the trenches to greater endurance or stir them to greater exertion, who shall say he has not done a batter deed than: shouldering a'musket and taking his place in the lighting line? SCOUT-MA8TER8. The disappearance of a scout' . master and a coincident unsatisfac- tory financial condition In a nearby city, calls attention once more to the seriousness of the selection of men to serve In that capacity. If a scout- master is to be of any value at all, he must be a man of high personal char- acter. If he is not to bo a dangerous associate for the boys who come Into a peculiarly intimate relationship with him, he must possess those vir- tue* which the scout training Is ex- pected to give to the boys. Members of the acout band take and are expected to respect en oath to keep themselves "physically strong, mentally alert and morally straight."

CITIZEN SOLDIERY. Tim training camp at Ft. Sheridan Is assured and suitable men, possible military official timber, Will be gath •red there to learn the A B C's of camp and military life. These beginnings of the production of a "cltttenry trained to arms" are not to be despised as a nucleus of a sys- tem of defense commensurate with the dignity, extant and richness of our country. They will set people think- ing along the Una of military prepared boss. They will concentrate, for the month of training, at least, the minds of the business and professional men who are to be In* training upon the question of our position in the ranks of the nations in respect to our abil- Ity to defend our own interests and our own honor. The military training of these men Of responsible positions in the eivll lite of the community, ought to effect one desirable result quite apart from the Increase In their ability to com- mand. More'young men ought to be encouraged to enter Into military training, In the national guards, per* haps, or In military training schools. The events of the last year have been painful to us. In that they have disillusioned us of the lofty ideals and unselfishness of other peoples. Our military training camps for men of positions in private life are the nat- ural outcome of that awakening. Other activities along the same line may be expected to follow as a natural se- quence.

The value of the kindergarten as tested by Its results Is discussed by JUss A. M. Winchester In an annual review of kindergarten work just Is- sued by the commissioner of education. "For several years Investigations have been undertaken In different cities," Bays the review, "for tht pur- pose of ascertaining the advantage gained; by children with kindergarten training over non-kindergarten chil- drcs. The emphasis in these Invest! gations has been placed usually upon the rata of-speed with which the chll dren make the successive grades." "The fallacy of drawing conclusions from such surveys," says Mies Win Chester, "it manifest at once. It Is well-nigh Impossible to gauge the spaed correctly, because in the first grade both kindergarten and non-kin- dergarten children are placed togeth- ei, and by the rule of uniformity which seems necessary In school sys- tems, the teacher unconsciously stand- ardises the progress of her class. The laggards are brought np by dint of conscientious work, and the forward ones are held In leash, so that by the time the fifth or sixth grade Is reached, whatever special impetus may have resulted from the child's kindergarten training has ceased to be measurable. "In any event the permanent vatae ot the kindergarten has little If any connection with the number of years required to go through the grades. The kindergarten's concern Is with the content of the years rather than with their number; with the fullness of the life of the child rather than with the mere economy of time. Power to think and do, a tendency to assume right at- titudes toward life, and ability to work and play happily with one's fellowâ€" these are the results of training based upon the belief in education by de- velopment" An Investigation about to be under taken by the International Kindurga?- ten union in this field, Mlas Winches- ter points out, will Involve making a study in several different cities ot one set ot children who entered kinder- garten Ave year* ago and another set In the same school who did not attend kindergarten. The records of these children will be examined with ref- erence to their Interests, attitudes, spirit toward one another, and with reference to their proficiency in school studies. The Quality and spirit of the teachers of these children as well aa the Quality and spirit of th* homes from which the children come will be taken Into consideration.

Kiel, Naval Base ........ VILNA is one of the most important immediate objectives of the Teu- tonic drives In Russia, for its capture and retention by the Germans would not only threaten the communication of the Czar's armies, but would also, cripple the second line of Russian de- fense, along the Bug, or^he*&& Lltovsk line. The holding of Vilna would practically cut tho northern communications of the powerful fort* ress and military entrepot upon the Bug, and bring with it a more start* ling change In the eastern campaign than even the capture of Warsaw. A description of this important railway, trading and manufacturing city is given in a statement on war geography Issued today by the National Geo* graphic society. It reads: â€" Industrial and Trade Canter. "Vilna is a city of 170,000, an Indus- trial and trade center, situated In the trance and the strategic points along the bank are heavily fortified. Fort Falkenstein and Fort Stosch guard the narrows about three and one-half miles above the town. Flanking the northern termination of the new Kiel suburbs, the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, a triumph of patience and engineerings cuts its way Into the sheltered bay. By means of this canal, Kiel Is in close communication with the North sea, and Units of the Kaiser's navy can be transferred rapidly and safely from the war theater ot the open ocean to that of the Baltic. "The Kaiser Wilhelm canal or- the Baltic ship canal Is the product of an Idea which ripened through centuries. Projects for connecting the Baltic and North seas by a water route through the northern peninsula which should avoid the dangerous voyage around Jutland, were considered spasmodic- ally from 1300 on, but it remained to the military necessities of a great em- pire to bring about the realization of this advantageous waterway for trade. Any number of bashful beginnings of the projected way were made before the construction of the present canal was undertaken by the first German emperor. Kaiser Wilhelm Mtfid the foundation stone of the canal in 1887, and the costly avenuo was formally declared open by the present emperor in 1895. The original canal has been extensively improved. "The canal crosses the peninsula, from Holtenau just beyond the north- ern suburbs of Kiel, to Brunsbuettel at the mouth of tho Elbe, at sea level, the locks at either end merely serving to neutralize the tides. It is sixty miles long, with a depth of more than thirty feet and a width sufficient to pass the largest men-of-war. A steamer takes between eight and nine hours to pass through the canal, thus bringing the advance German naval base at Heligo- land within easy reach ot the Kiel headquarters. The whole way at night is lighted by electricity. The first cost of the Baltic ship canal was $39,- 000,000 Other million* have been ex pended in its improvement.

Petrograd lies 486 miles away to the north-northwest of Vilna, and the country In between is a labyrinth of lake,' morass, woodland aud wet meadowland. It is more than 110 mites from the German frontier, to- ward which it Is guarded by the for- tress of Kovno in the northwest. "The city Is an ancient one, of which fact Its appearance bears every testi- mony, for Its irregular ground-plan straggles among, around and over the knot of low hills upon which the city is built In accordance with the tradi- tional almlessnesa of the middle ages. Its atjreets are narrow, and not espe- cially well-kept.. â-  It wears, however, a general air of comfortable prosperity; for Vilna, sends large quantities of goods to the Black Sea and to the Bal- tic. It handles a very extensive busi- ness In grains and'timber! articles which It exported before the present war In great quantities to Germany, to Holland and to England. It also has Important textile and leather Indus- tries. Vilna manufactures consider- able tobacco, knit goods,- clothing, arti- ficial flowers and glovea. s) «a» Rich in Memories. "The old town. Is rich in memories. A mass of ruins that were once a bril llant castle of the Jageilons Is here, Vilna was probably founded in the early part of the tenth century, but is first mentioned as the chief fortified town of the Lithuanians in 1128. It was the nucleus about which the great Lithuanian power grew, and a capital in Which the ancient religious service was continued until the end pf*the fourteenth century. The God Perku- nas housed here in a splendid temple and protected his people In their Pounds are said to be at a discount of 6 per cent, which, If true, implies that dollars are at a similar premium. This discount of 5 per cent is said to be unprecedented tor pounds, but it Is far from unprecedented for. dollars. The discount on dollars In greenbacks was.measured by the premium on gold during the civil war, and was 60 at the battle of Chattanooga. When the gov- ernment promised to pay gold to get funds it'had to pay 7.3 per cent, or to Issue 6 per cents' at 89. England now has It In mind to float a halt, billion dollars* worth:'of pounds here at 6 per cent. That also Is unprecedented. Neither pounds nor dollars in New Yortfwlirbuy'wjiat they would before the war. The discount on them is the premium on munitions,- on food- stuffs, oh whatever Slse IS in especial demand. The Economist's index num- ber shows that during the war the cost of commodities, a true measure of the decline of the purchasing value of the pound, has risen from 116 to 160, the average of 1901-6 being 100. At the same time -the Bankers' Magazine shows a decline of the value of 387 representative'securities j from £ 3,370/ 709,000 in July last year to £2,910,- 489,000 last month. That is to say, pounds would buy less spot goods and taore securities.' There is a discount and a. premium at the same time, ac- cording to the exchange proposed, which is different from the exchange Of pounds for dollars, or of pounds in one place for pounds in another place. It is necessary to consider this when appraising the prospect of a British loan in dollars. Such a thing never was beard of, and it is likely to cost England a discount rate such as she has not experienced since the Napo- leonic wars. Four and a half per cent, which will produce pounds In London, will not produce dollars in New York. Canada's guaranteed' railway securi- ties, a specific pledge with a Dominion indorsement, sell below G per cent but a trifle. Manhattan mortgages rule above 5, and there are those who would prefer them to any government credit except that of ihe United States. There remains nothing for England to do but to float a loan. It Is clear that she has exhausted her available credits against us, including the mag- nified amount of American securities said to be held, and now so non-ap- parent. The discount on sterling is rather a credit phenomenon then a change in tho relative purchasing powers of pounds or dollars, except as both have altered their relation to securities or commodities.
