PROFESSOR ANDREWS
 ON EUROPEAN POLITICS
Predicts a Great War in the Near Future Into Which This Coun-
 try Will Be Dragged.

MADISON, Wis, July 26.-E. Benja- min Andrews, recently elected Super intendent of Schools of Chicago, in his address before the Winoma Lake As sembly, spoke on European Politics" |" He predicted a great European war in the near future, into which the United States would be dragged, If it did not go in of it's own accord. He described the strengthening of the Notifications and preparations for war in every country in Europe
 You may ask what force in Europe preserves peace in Europe" he said. This peace force is the money power, the great financiers, whose interests are entirely opposed to war. There are large numbers of people, intelligent, thoughtful people, who believe that a general war would kill off enough of the laboring population to temporarily solve the labor question. Those who were left could be paid larger wages and live on a higher plane.
 Tt is interesting to consider which nation of Europe would benefit most by general European war. That na- tion undoubtedly would be Great Brit ain. She has the navy, the men and the money. England is far better sit uated in a financial way for war than any other Europea4- power.
 "England's present friendliness to- ward the United States I believe to be sincere and not expressed for the pur+ pose of making capital out of us. We should respond ito the sentiment Be- sides the tles of blood, we would be wise to have powerful ally in case of friction vii. any other European power.
 We shall probably be compelled tc take place in the settlement of the Eastern question. There are many peo. pie who insist that we shall keep LII the role of the Hermit Nation; that we must keep aloof from the world IT my Judgment there is no choice before the American nation. Whether we wish to or not, we must take our place among the powers of the world
 The United States may be dragged into the company of the powers by tho heels, or we may take our place volun tarily, and call to the world: Here i. Jonathan. He is six feet two; he ha. come to stay: he waits to be counted you must reckon with him."

PLANS TO FLOAT THE COLON
 AND TERESA.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, July 26.-Just before the train left, Lieutenant Hobson said to The Call correspondent: T go to New York and then directly back to the fleet. I have found here two 200-ton pontoons belonging to the Boston Tow boat Company. This fact l simply re- port to the department. You know my friends are al. talking for me, and what they haven't said it would be hard to say. l came to Boston solely on business, and my stay here was just as brief as I could make it. Of course, I would like to spend a little time in this interesting city, where have been received so kindly, but Government business necessitates expeditions work here and quick return to Washing ton
 T went to the office of the Boston Towboat Company and consulted them in regard to obtaining two large pom toons which 1t is proposed to use in connection with the raising of the Colon and Maria Teresa These pom toons have lifting capacity of about 800 tons each and I expect to get them without any trouble and start for San tiago in a couple of days.
 Our plan is to run the pontoons, which have great buoyant power, alongside at low tide and sink them. They will then be fastened to the ship by chains and pumped out at high water. When the vessel shall have been lifted off the bottom, the pontoons will be filled again and the same pro- cess repeated Thus she may be brought far enough out of water to en- able us to close the opening in her hull, pump her out and tow her to this country.
 "The Colon at last accounts lay on a slope, with only small part of her bow above water. It will be matter of lifting 1000 tons to get her off Structurally, she is all right and was foundered by the removal of her sea cocks and Kinkston valves. She is ly- ing on reef with her bows wedged ir between two coral reefs, and l feel cer. tain we can save her. Of the Maria Teresa, l have hopes that she cal
 saved as well as the Colon.

Warning on Liquor Traffic.

SAN RAFAEL, July 26.-The war in Mill Valley over the sale of liquor has begun and bids fair to develop into a bitter contest at law. The Tamalpais Land and Water Company brought four separate suits yesterday, two against John H. McInnes, Eliza McInnes, Andrew H. McInnes and w. A. Sutcliffe: one against Joseph and Dora Landgraff, and one against Jesse E. Bundy, Lottie Bundy and Henry Mason. It is stated in the complaints that the contract of sale of the lands to these persons provided that no liquor was to be sold on the premises until May 3l, 1915, and it is alleged that this clause has been violated in an "open and notorious manner"

The Motorman,s Pie.

Here is melancholy story of motorman and his luncheon: The car was nearly ready to start at the beginning of the route, when woman got on and took her place on the front seat along with the driver, stern, marrIed-looking man" who had a basket be side him, and was somewhat hurriedly eat ing his luncheon. The woman began ask ing questions, and the man, as she left him opportunity, continued to snatch now and then, bite. By and by at the ring of the bell he let on the power and the car started while he held in one hand great slab of cherry pie.' A few blocks down the street an, impish child danced across the track suddenly, so near the car that the gripman put on the brakes, and the woman with the inquiring mind rose to her feet in alarm The danger passed, she sat down again heav- fly. The stern-faeed gripman had ceased to eat his pie. You don't have much time for meals, do you?" asked the woman with the inquiring mind Nom" replied the grip man, sadly. Where's your pie" went on the woman with the inquiring mind You're sitting on it, he said.-Washing- ton Post.

There Was Just Faint Suspicion of SeIf-Intcrest in His
 Complaint.

1t isn't every man in Uncle Sam pay who feels his responsibility as does an old Irish man who IS d treasury messenger. Just the other day he was berating an absent clerk for leaving some pins on the edge of his desk where they might be brushed off by anybody passing.

 There was a general laugh at the earnest. ness of the old mans complaint, and some body said he deserved an increase of salary for his devotion to the interests of the coun- try. And then, as the clerks trooped out, the old man said to the last of them:
 :" Yis, it's all right for yees gazoo byes to be laughin' at me. I'll see nothin' wasted here. They kin laugh, but it's not thim that has to go down on their hands and knees to pick up thim pins. Detroit Free Press.

Our American school system has sometimes been severely criticised for laying undue stress on the traditions of war, and especially for nursing a spirit of hostility against Great Brit ain, our natural friend and ally. Doubtless there is a measure of truth in this latter charge; and certainly anything which tends to array against each other the two great English speaking nations which stand for the highest type of civilization and man. hood IS much to be deplored. This evil result, however, is mainly imaginary recent events are making that very plain-=and even if it were otherwise, no nation will ever be persuaded to take steps to wither it's own right arm because ofthe chance thatin some mo- ment of anger it may possibly be pro- yoked to strike friend
 For a nations heroic traditions are the measure and in a great degree the source of it's strength. Whatever they are, it will in most cases strive hard to live up to them and better them. It

proper Care for n Watch.

A watch should be wound up every day at the same hour. Avoid putting it on a marble slab or near anything excessively cold, as the sudden change of temperature, contracting the metal, may sometimes cause the handspring to break. The cold eoagulates the oil, and the pivots and wheels working less freely affect the regularity of the timekeeper In laying aside a watch be sure that it rests on it's case. If sus- pended. the action of the balance may cause oscillation. which will interfere with it's going. To keep your watch clean take care that the case fits close Iy and see that the watch pocket is free from fluff, which is so often given of by Things.

capable than Dewey. Even our vic torious craftsmanship is fostered by it's own tradition.
 So it has been from the beginning with every brave and conquering na- ton. To an Athenian the name of Mar athon gave the same thrill that Bun ker Hill sends through an Americans; and Cynaegirus, who, in the delirium of victory, rushing into the water and seizing by the stern one of the galleys which the Persians were seeking to launch, endured to have his hands chopped off rather than relax his hold, was to them what Warren is to us. It was by appeal to these noble tradi- lions that Demosthenes was able to rouse the old Athenian spirit in decadent age. But, indeed, the noble story of Marathon is more than Greek. It has become one of the worlds best traditions, an inspiration to all man. kind, strengthening the hands of those who fight for home and freedom every where.

heroic tradition in Rome. From boy hood Regulus had heard repeated the story of Mucius Scaevola, who, when seized after a desperate attempt on the life of his country's most dan gerous enemy, showed his scorn of the threatened torture by thrusting his hand into the fire and holding it there until it was consumed. What, then. could Regulus do when the hour of trial came but defy his merciless cap tcrs to do their worst with the same iron resolution-thus setting afoat a new tradition 10 drift down the ages? And it is hardly to be doubted that the English Cranmer also remembered Scaevola when. after the lapse of so many centuries. he thrust into the flames to be first burned the hand which had signed his insincere reean- tation.
 The English, as we should expect, have great stock of these sturdy tra- ditions, without which they could not be the people they are. and to which we owe almost as much as they. Thor oughly characteristic was the act of inc stout baron who. when King Ed ward demanded his title to the estates he held, barred a rusty sword and flung it defantly upon the council table. Here he cried, lis my title deed. With this sword my fathers won their lands. and by the sword I will hold tbem.T Intthe same spirit did Hampdep defy King Charles; and in the same spirit did our own Washing ton defy King George. These things are not unconnected.
 Nowhere c&n there be found a grander legend of heroic self-sacrifiee than the tale of Arnold Winkelried, who flung himself upon the Austrian spears and impaled himself with as many as heScould grasp 10 make way for liberty" am strongly inclined 10 think that the Swiss owe their inde- pendent national existence to-day to the indomitable spirit of independence engendered by this tradition. Other wise. believe, they. would long since have been absorbed by the stronger powers which encircle them.
