1t isn't much to our advan-
tage to sell clothing to men
who think anything will
do We have many stitches
put into collars, lapels and
inside Innings which do not
show but which cost US mon
ey. The only effect OF them
is the enduring good shape OF
the garment when it is worn
week in and week out.
Let us particularize. Here
is high grade suit for men
and OF the double-breasted
style that SO many are asking
for. 1t is OF pure worsted
cheviot, neat DARK brown col
or. But look especially at
the excellent way in which it
is made. That suit will give
the best of satisfaction. No
doubt of that.

There is no reason for placing faith
in the German story that China is pre-
pared to accede to German demands.
| There is far greater reason for the be-
lief that China will fight even to defeat.
If she yields under such a threat as
| has been made, she can prepare her
self COR dismemberment. 1t is sug-
gestad by the London Times how
ever, that it may indeed be true that
| China has consented to pay the indem-
in order to secure the evacuation Of the
| ports of Kiaochau Bay, for there is no
word in the report of the concession,
that China has agreed to the perma-
nent occupation by the Germans But
is there any reason to believe that
Germany will be content with a partial
concession to her claims? The Emper-
| or Of Germany is out for conquest, and
he will secure a foothold at the bay of
Kiaochau by hook or by crook. He
| will find excuses for permanent occu-
patton of the seized territory. Will the
| great powers consent to such a pro-
| gramne? Certainly, if they too are
given the same liberty to fall upon the
Chinese Empire and secure slices of its
territory. However viewed, therefore,
China is in a bad way. She must fight
or suffer humiliation from which no
nation could recover. But if she fights
the chances are that she will be sound
| ly whipped We can understand, there
fore, the meaning of the Chinese En-
| peror's remark that before he will yield
his soil TO Germany, he will suffer the
loss of his crown. 1t may be that he
may be compelled to do both.
It viii be noted that President Nc
Kinley in his message in referring to
policy Of Spain must produce satisfac-
tory results in the near future" or the
United States will i1lervene with force
TO put a stop to the war. 1t must be
| in this declaration. To hold otherwise
would be without reason. Just what
the President means by the near fu-
ture" may, however. be considered an
open question. Mr.. Hannis Taylor IS

deed Mr. Taylor goes further, however
and holds that the offer or grant of
autonomy by royal decree of the Span
ish Crown is without lawful effect, that
it has no constitutional guarantee or
validity. for such a grant must have
