No Excuse for War

" No Excuse for War.
"There have been times when wal
was warranted, when war was the on
ly solution, but this general war in
Europe is without the faintest hope
Of an excuse. The powers that rule
have been preparing for this wal
with enormous expenditures that
have ground down the people with
taxes until they blindfy welcome wal
as a mems to avoid their taxlbred
poverty. The powers that pre,'ail
have made this war because they
wanted war for their own purposes.
Human life could have meant little
to those who in the finsl Judgment
must answer for this crime of the
ages.
America Fortunate.
"In America we, are fortunate Pro
tected on each side by a great ocean
we are left to ourselves, to, continue
our progress, and ] can see nothing
for us but a great flturea future,
however, that ever must be tinged
with the sorrow for what this~ war
will have cost the world. 4.
From my. observations l. believe
that the submarines, the air craft,
and the .dreadnought battleships are
to play the most important part in
this war, Submarines and aero.
planes have not yet been tried in real
war, and they are. IN unknown guam.
tity, but ] believe they will be very
important. l
Incidentally, this is grand oppor-
tunity. for. congress to follow the sug-
gestion !, of President Wilson and re.
establish the American merchant ma
rine. We have a great chance now
to recover our lost prestige on the
sea, and the Am rican government
should bend every effort in that :di-
rectiOn.''

To Test Suspected Coin.

There is a very simple means Of
testing suspected coin, which can be
applied in any circumstances. Take a
good coin and vigorously rub its
milled edge against that of the sus-
pect. If the coin on trial is wrong
'un" it will peel off, or at least show
signs of taking. If the edge bears
the test the coin may safely be accept
ed. This advice was given by an Off
Ger of the criminal investigation de-
partment of England, who declared it
to be a certain test.

Of the town, particularly the Rev.
IL. b. Phelps. rector OF the Episco-

evil tendency and. as they are the
real cust0diaus Of the morals Of the
