The different way of spelling the names of some of
the places that appear in the war news often causes people
to believe that mistakes are made by the newspaper re
porting the news. For instance, the place recently taken
by the Italians from the Austrians is spelled Goritz, Gori
zia and Goritza. The hill which became famous near Ver
dun under the name of Dead Man’s hill is really Mort
Homme which, of course, is the same thing in French.
The capital of Roumania may be Bukharest or Bucharest
and heaven knows how many others. Salonika is also
Salonica and Saloniki. Another name for the city of
Tczlcycz is Hell. Up to the present, thank providence, the
Russians have not been able to reach our old triend
Przemysl. When they do it will be time to quit publishing
war news. There is a limit to human endurance. The
trouble with those places is that people ol so many races
and languages live near them and each race has its own
particular name for each place, and each name is worse
than the other.
This year’s Labor Day will probably go down in his
tory as marking an epoch in the industrial world. rlo
avert a strike the congress of the l nited States consider
ed it necessary to pass a law that brings about a change in
the conditions under which half a million men labor. Halt
a million men- perhaps, represent a couple of millions ot
people, they and their families. But this was all to be ex
pected as democratic forms of government are adopted
and the workers secure the franchise. It could never be ex
pected that once the laborer had obtained an equal share
in government that he would consent to devote all his time
and energies and skill and muscle without protest to help
the luckier social strata. Perhaps not all of us realize the
industrial evolution which is taking place in the world
around us today. The actiun uf the President and Con
gress in relation to the threatened railroad strike is one of
the milestones marking the rocky road of that evolution.
People who do not see the great change ahead should
wake up.
In the news of the past couple of days comes a story
of the Zeppelin raid on England. The London dispatch
says one of the airships was brought down and the Ber
lin dispatch says all the Zeppelins returned home safely.
There is a slight discrepancy in these accounts, just a
slight one. It is just a difference in the name of the place
one of the ships landed at. One name is Terra Firma and
the other Germany. This is a small matter, except for the
crew of the Zeppelin in question, but it throws a light on
the character of the war news generally.
ARTIST BLAKELOCK. DRIVEN
INSANE BY WANT 17
YEARS AGO, LEAVES ASYLl M
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
MIDDLETOWN, X. Y.. August 2G
—Ralph Albert Blakelock, the fam
ous artist who has been top fined in
the state asylum here ever since he
went insane over the poverty of his
family 17 years ago, is gone today to
a private sanitarium at Lynnwood
Lodge, N. J., where his returning
faculties are expected to become com
pletely normal.
It was not until many years after
he came to the asylum here that
Blakelock was elected to membership
in the National Academy. When he
lost his mind he had been selling what
— --
he could of his now world famous and
extremely valuable moonlight scenes
for scarce enough to buy food for a
few days.
About a year ago Blakelock showed
■signs of returning sanity and unmis
takeable evidences of the return of
clouded genius. His fellow Ameri
can artists started a fund to provide
for him at a private sanitarium, with’
a cottage in which he will paint the
picture marking his election to the
academy. Blakelock’s family will not
be with him.
