Y.)—A staement issued to day by the Overseas News Agency' says the allies have attacked Turkish hospitals and ambulances, in violation of international law. The latest at tack mentioned is said to have been made by an allied aeroplane August 27 on a Turkish hospital on Gallipoli Peninsula. The statement s^s one person was killed and three injured. Attacks on hospitals at Khalil Pasha and Atrbah Bere by aircraft in July are said to have causeJ the death of twelve ^rs3ns and injury of over twenty others. Near Saghir Dere, the statement says, sk* soldiers were wounded by attacks by hostile air craft on Turkish ambulances. ' Flatter a woman’s taste, then you can safely criticise her opinions. A Tribute to The Teacher. I believe that it is in one of l’l:iiit\ Bialoguos that the story is told of how Socrates ami hi.s frinwis discours ed upon the one person neccesary to the welfare of the state. One siu ak er declared that the priest, who p-'i- formed the scare! ceremonies and hands down the scared traditions i.s the one necessary man. A second de clared that it was the general who tl'.'- fends the state from its enemies; a tfiird that it is the poet whose verses shall glorify the city In after times. But socrate says, that the one man needful is the schoolmaster, since he combines the .functions of the other three: he defends the state better than the general, becaase he forms that which is the real strength of the state —^the character »f its people; he pre pares for the future glory of the city quite as well as the poet for he in stills decorum and breeding into ji future citiiens;he exercises the fii'” tions of a priest, for day by day he ministers to the souls of his pupils. And if 1 am right Socrate goes on to say that the teacher must be rich in insight aad wisdom, firm of charact er, kindly of disposition, gentle in manner, quick to praise every excel lency, slow to blame any faalt, a lover of innocence, beapty and unselfish ness; indeed a man who loves those qualities bo much is like a bee hunt ing for honey in the hollylock, 1- comesout (toveredi with their golden pollen.

Half a hundred clowns from niirth- land’s fertile field have been assem’u- led this season by the management ■of. the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, w;hich comes to Burlington oh Satur day, JJovomber 6 for performances at 2 and 8 P. M,, and a three-mile-long street parade at 10 o’clock in the miiu’ning. One of the most interesting of these c;owns is Arthur Borella, known the world over as the “Here’s Me” clown, Tlds is Borella’s trade-mark, and for twenty years it has been his si>gan and byrword. Whenever he appears on the hippodrome track he shouts these words. Little tots know him for he has inveiglei cheer and happiness into the hearts of niillians of therp. Beneath Borella’s make-up of ver milion and white there is a sober face that on a dov/n-town straet corner one would pick fiar a banker or business man. He dresses neatly, asd there Is an air of polish and bearing in his manners which stand in vivid contrast to the foolishly funny fellow who cavorts about in the big arena tent, working the ftap-sticks and making fire crackers do tlieir full duty. Mr. Borella is tho originator of many clowns novelties. He is the fii'st perfj5n to succes.sfully introduce base ball pantomime and it W'as he who con ceived the idea »5f having a goose fo- Icw him about the track on a supposel trip to the frontier as a soldier. This season Boi'ella has a burlesque which he calls “Chicken,” and it promises to break all records as a laugh-di'?- penser and a gi«uch-eitr,se.r. Arthur Borella is the highest paid cIow:i in the woHd. His salary is $000 pel' week and all expenses. Only once in all the history of cir.'u.'j was this cclip.'ied and this was by the im- Han Itiee, who ■>r,cc received a •Salary of $1,000 per week. AI TO ON BRIDGE, OWNF.I! ■Mis.sixf; IS , K, fannon of Aydrn Disappears; Possibly .Met Foul Play or Acci dentally Drowned Naw Bern, Oct. 2S.—Early tlii* morning a five-passenger touring car owned by T, E. Canrjon of .\ydan was found hanging over one side of the bridge of Trent river. In the l)ottom of the car was a hat which vi'as later identified as that of Mr. Cannon, who is a prominent citizen of Ayden. Later in the day a party of men from .^yden who had come over to aid in the search for the mi.=ising man, stated that h* left there last night en route to New Bern with more than a hundred dollai's on his person. It is believed thats he went to Jamo.^ City "^for some purpose and was there set upon robbed and killed apil his body thrown into the river. Searching parties have dragged the river but have failed to find any trace of th-.^ l;ody. Cannon is known to have been drinking yesterday before he left Ayden. He has a wife and several children there. The case is a mys terious one and baffles the police. The average man practices aeoi^Dmy in his life when the supply of life is given out. Note of Thanks. In behalf of the other members of our family and for my self, I want to sKpress our sincere thanks to all who hav« ministered in any way to the co.mf*rt of our mother in her death and to us who Seel so keenly our loss.
