Hon. SAmurtt W. McCay, who will lead the Re- 
publican party, has come out in favor of a shorter ballot 
and biennial elections. Massachusetts is suffering under 
the plague of annual campaigns and annual conventions 
of the legislature. There is altogether too much law- 
making. Many of the states have biennial elections and 
it has proven a great blessing. Mr. Average Citizen 
~yould enjoy being left undisturbed in his pursuit of hap- 
piness for two years. 
Ir tax New Drrve made by the Allies is successfully 
pushed to the end, the prophets can’then begin to make 
guesses as to the duration of the war. Everything de- 
pends upon the outcome of the present movement by the 
Allies. Defeat now will mean a prolonged war. The 
Allies are not likely to consider terms of peace until they 
have driven the Germans out of Belgium and France. 
Tue Armep Neurrarity of Greece and Bulgaria 
cannot long continue. It is not difficult to foresee that 
with all of ‘the forces of the two countries ready for a 
fray most anything may happen. 
Tur GERMAN Press asserts that the war crisis will 
be met in the west and not in the east. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder

THE JOURNALISTS OF THE WoRLD were surprised by 
the movement made by the Allies. -The efforts made to 
cover the operations and preparations were successful. It 
was commonly believed and reported that nothing was to 
be expected from the armies in the west until spring and 
now comes the attack. The ruse worked admirably and 
the newspapers were as badly deceived as the Germans. 
Now Tuar Tur Imperial German government is en- 
deavoring to, and will doubtless successfully float a large 
war loan in America the hyphenated Americans can no 
longer assert that the war loan placed for the Allies is a 
violation of neutrality. 
Tue TrmMe Seems to have arrived when the repub- 
lican and progressive parties can reunite. Such a union 
stiould have taken place two years ago, but it will be ad- 
vantageous to both to have the differences adjusted even 
now. 
THE SYMPATHY OF ALL are with Senior Senator 
Henry C. Lodge in his bereavement.

To the North Shore Branch of the French Wounded 
Emergency Fund 
A FEW days ago, Mrs. Bemis, the chairman of the 
North Shore Branch, received a personal letter from 
Mrs. Lathrop, Hon. Secretary of the American Branch, 
Lowndes Sq., London. She was in. Paris at the time of 
writing, Sept. 14th, and wished to thank us especially for 
the rubber gloves, sheeting and all the work we are doing. 
She writes: “If you could hear the things about your 
work that I do here in France, you would all be repaid 
for the labor and love you have put into it. France is 
pulling herself together so admirably that the emergency 
tiings needed at first are not so much in demand and our 
especial work now is to supplement these necessary things 
and give to the men the comfort that comes from clean 
beds, warm socks and a good shirt, this will give us all 
enough work for the entire winter and I only wish you 
could have my privilege of going from place to place and 
receive the thanks of hundreds of men for the work you 
are doing in America, May my report be a stimulus to 
you to go on in this manner, for it will.be useless for 
ine to continue unless | have the magnificent support 
that you all have given to our work. I am sure that had 
we not all stood together we would not have given the 
help that we are giving today. You should have seen 
Dr. Carroll yesterday when I told him we had over 450 
liospitals on our list, and I told him that I spoke for ail 
of you in wishing to do this winter more work instead of 
less. Will you thank as many of the kind donors as you 
ean for their contributions? It looks now as if we were 
tu have a most successful plan of work laid out for us 
and I cannot speak too highly of the help we have had 
fiom the American Relief Clearing House. The gentle- 
men one and all have done everything that an aggregate 
of American gentlemen can do, and what more could I

month to the Headquarters of the French Wounded 
Emergency Fund toward the support of their ambulances. 
In this way of co-operating we are all able to accom- 
push the best and greatest results. 
A volunteer work room of the French Wounded 
emergency fund is to be opened on Monday, October 18, 
at 304 Boylston st., Boston, from 10-12.30 and 2-4.30 
every day except Saturday when there will only be a 
morning meeting. The North Shore Branch will be in 
charge on Monday mornings, but at any time volunteers 
will be most welcome. The last meeting at Mrs, Edward 
© Grew’s coach house will be on Monday, October 11, 
and after that it is hoped as many of the summer workers 
as possible may be seen at the new work room, 304 
Boylston street. 
JUDGING from their continued stay at Tunipoo Inn, 
Beverly Farms’ new and most popular hotel, the 
euests here seem to hesitate to desert its homelike and 
restful accommodations until a return to their city homes 
makes it a necessity. Hor years past there has been a 
demand for a hotel at Beverly Farms that would serve 
those desiring a stay in this vicinity for the purpose of 
enjoying the prolonged season at the North Shore. The 
Tunipoo Inn just fills the bill and is, indeed, an ideal place 
to stay. The closing date is) now indefinite and will de- 
pend upon how long its guests desire its conveniences. 
Following are among those who have been registered 
here the past week: Miss J. Motley, Chestnut Hill; A. 
A. Hollings, Boston; G. B. Ceccato, Washington, D. C.; 
Miss Lida Quinn, Birmingham, Ala.; Mr. and Mrs.’ F. 
A. McClure, Mrs. Chas. Cameron, Miss Nellie Flaherty, 
Worcester; A, Anderson, Washington, D. C. Mr. Ken- 
neth Frazier, the well-known portrait painter, and wife 
fiom New York City have just concluded a pleasant two 
weeks’ stay at Tunipoo Inn. Robert Henri, noted artist, 
and Mrs. Henri, of New York City are among the guests 
at this Inn.
