THE ExPOSITIoNs WILL SUCCEED

1t we're useless to dhssemble the disappointment which the promoters
OF CALIFORNIA; win worlds fairs feel over the advent OF a general
European war.
Naturally San francisco and San Diego turn their thought to the
effects OF the STRIFE, should it be prouacted, as it may be.
Wl 1t be w before 1915? Experts have agreed that the magnr
tude OF the conflict presages brief duration, o n the theory that it will be
so stupenduousy expensive that it nus soon stop.
But n expert a tell when the al clouds will be cleared from the
sky.
Europe cannot o be counted upon for patronage. Exposition mar
ayers must look elsewhere to bring other groups OF visitors to Cali
fornia next year.
United States. AT present about 100000 are in foreign ports, striving %
get back to America and finding little or II opportunity. Where will
these people want 10 travel next year? To California. Many of them
might have planned to come to Calfornia-but if the war continues all
will have to ome to the exposiions, or-dreary arernatve-stay at
homel
Furthermore there are more South Americans who visit Europe
each year than Americans who cross the Atlantic. South America is
more closely connected, socially and commercially, with Europe than it
is with the United States. The "a will sever those connections anG
give the northern and southern conunes IN opportunity to become
acquainted.
South American folk from the rich and splendid cities of Brazil,
Argentina and the other prosperous nations will come to the Pacific
coast next year Tor the sam reason that many gobe-troting Americans
will come-to travel to the most interesting part of the globe available.

If it had not rained on the night between the 18th and 18th of June,
1915, the future OF Europe would have been changed. A few drops E
rain moreo or less defeated Napoleon.
On TIE 18th of june, 1915, Napoleon had 240 artillery guns, while
Wellington had only l59. Had it not rained the artillery would have
been able to have moved and the fighting begun at e in the morning..
The battle in all probability, would have been over by 2 in the alter
moor, three hours before the arrival of Blucner.
Napoleons plan of action a a masterpiece. 1t ws to go straight
at the center of the Allied line, cut it in two, drive the British wei
Halle, the Prussians ove Tngres carry Mont St. Jean, seize Brussels
drive the Germans into the Rhine and the Englishmen into the sea.
But it rainei.

The Atlanta, Ga, Typographical Union passed a resolution at their
last meeting urging upon members the use OF cottong goods.
If every womans organization ain the country, standing for patriotic
and progressive work, would pass the sam resolution, and stand by it,
there could be brought about a renaissance in the history Of COTTON
goods that would powerfully aid in solving the problem OF what is to be
done with the surplus cotton product which cannot now be sold in for
ein markets.
1t would not only help to solve the problem in the southern states of
the marketing OF this years cotton crop, but it would help many a
northern laborer in the factory towns to earn livelihood. There is IL
reason why every bale OF cotton should not be manufactured int cloth
in this country instead of being m to European countries and then
sen back to the United States in the form OF cloth to be sold.
