PACIFIC THE WAR N I
Max Nordnu Predicts Gigantic strug-
giles ON Great Ocean.

MAX NOruau Gigantic Strug-
giles ON Great Ocean.
In the course Of an exhaustive review
of the history Of the world, contributed
to the Neue Freie Presse Of Vienna by
Max Nordau, the writer, speaking Of
the future Of the new world, says the
opening OF the Panama canal under
American ownership will mark the be-
ginning Of a new epoch. The tragic
stage Of the worlds history, which in
ancient times centered in the Mediter-
ranean and which moved in the naval
ages to the Atlantic, will then be trans
ferred to the Pacific ocean.
At first the Anglo-Saxon element will
seek to drive out the German and
French flags floating over single points
in the Pacific ocean; then the struggle
will be carried farther to the Asiatic
coast, where Anglo-Saxons aEsa Rus
slams will have to decide the suaomen-
,tous world question Of whether eastern
and southern Asia shall remain British
or Russian. To this forecast Il. Nor
dau adds:
Zone can only imagine with horror
what such 3 gigantic struggle OF ma
tons and races will signify"

LESLIE sHAW's sOBRIQUET
Farmers Out In Iowa a the Secre-
tnry "App1e Tree" Shaw.

Farmers Out In Iowa Call the Secre-
tary "Apple Tree" Shaw.
Very few people know that Secretary
Shaw Of the treasury department is ia
miliarly referred to out in Iowa as ZAP
pie Tree" Shaw, or if they ever heard
Of his sobriquet are ignorant of the
way he obtained it, saysia Washington
special to the st. Louis Republic.
When Mr.. Shaw was a young man,
making a struggling effort to obtain an
education, little dreaming that he would
ever be a member of the presidents
cabinet, he used to be the agent for a
nursery. In vacation season he can
vassed n county after another, sell
Ing trees to farmers. His speciality
was apple trees.
He was the best salesman the nursery
firm had, and it is said of him that he
is responsible for half the apple crop
Of Iowa. 1t is no unusual thing for the
average Hawkeye farmer to point with
pride to. the long rows of apple.trees in
his orchard. bowed heavy with luscious
fruit, and say that Apple Tree Shaw
sold him the trees.
Huh! You don't know Apple Tree
Shaw? Reckon yon never had a right
smart of dealings lately with the Unit
ed States treasury. for Apple Tree
Shaw, he's the man that's running that
institution down in Washington just
now
The future secretary, of the treasury
rarely ever approached a farmer with
an available piece of ground and failed
to make a sale. His genial manners
won him customers, as they have won
him friends and supporters in after life,
and there is many a man III Iowa who
set out an orchard because Mr.. Shaw
made him buy the trees, even though
he did not think he wanted them, who
now is mighty glad he was induced to
purchase them.

a European army-a very small one,
but still an organized army-is about to
be abolished entirely, says the London
Express. Prince Albert of Monaco, who
is q n ardent believer in the pressing
need in the near future for arbitration
as a means Of settling all international
disputes and who thinks that universal
peace is n possibility, has determined to
back his opinion by doing away with
his entire armed force. Hence the Mo-
negasque army, which consists of some
thirty-two men, will very shortly be a
thing Of the past.

DO NOT WANT STEEL STOCK

Homestead Plant Employees Com
dennis Trusts Profit Sharing Plan.
Employees Of the Homestead plant Of
the United States Steel corporation at
Pittsburg interviewed the other day
regarding the scheme Of the concern to
share its profits with Its employees ex-
pressed themselves as decidedly OPP
posed to the proposition, says the New
York Herald.
The Homestead works employ about
1000 men who are entitled to the profit
sharing. Not one Of the twenty inter
viewed favored the move and each con-
demned it.
The men gave many reasons why the
plan would not be a good thing. One
Of these was that, under the PROPOSE
ton submitted, the amount of stock
that the majority Of the workmen can
buy is limited to a few shares. Ac
cording to the circular, a thousand dol
lar employee can subscribe for but $3.50
worth of stock. The workmen assert
that only the department and general
superintendent who draw large sal
aries will be able to purchase enough
stock to make an investment worth the
while. q
Another objection raised is that the
stock if bought on installments will
not be delivered until five years after
the employee has purchased it and that
If he leaves the service of the corpora
ton before that time he practically
loses his dividends on his stock. The
DIRECTORS assert that the five year pro-
vision is virtually q contract to hold
them in the company's service for that
length of time.
They say that it would destroy their
independence in case Of a dispute max
Ing a strike necessary. Two of the
opinions expressed by the men are as
follows:
G.. 0. Poster, who draws a salary of
$1,700-I believe that we can do better
by leaving u money in a savings bank
than by putting a part of it in Steel
stock and not being able to get the
stock for five years.
Edward Cox, employed for twelve
years at Homestead do not think it
would be wise for men to draw their
money from the bank and invest it in
stocks.

Bears n Pest In Maine.

Black bears have taken possession Of
the country fifteen miles east of Ban
gor, Me-, to such an extent that the
farmers there are thinking of organiz-
ing a bear hunting league to extermi-
nate the pests, says the Philadelphia
Ledger and Times. In recent years the
bear has subsidized into peaceful ways.
The state formerly paid a bounty Of
So a head for all bears killed, and
this, with what could be got for the
skins and from the sale of oil fried
from the fat meat, made bear hunting
so profitable that the animals became
scarce. A few years ago, however. the
law was repealed, and since then bears
have been left to multiply, which they
have done amazingly.
