The Younastsr Hu.hsd.

When the great French chemist
CheYreul attained his hundredth
birthday he was entertained at a
public dinner, at which his son, a
high Official in the department of
justice sixty-seven years old, was
also present. The old man made a
speech and in telling an anecdote
made a slight slip, which his son
corrected. Old Chevreul turned
around quickly and said. in a sharp
tone, "Hush, youngster, whensI I'M
talking" And the Styoungster"' held
his tongue.

In its present form the Avesta,
the old Zoroastrian scripture, is
only a fragment Of the original To-

struction .of..the two original copies,
the one at Persepolis, the other at

OUR OWN PEACE PREsERvERs.

-
While The Hague tribunal and all
the world peace conferences have fall
cd to save Europe from what may
prove the most appalling war in the
history OF the world, 1t is now con-
ceded by practically all competent
critics that the cool, common sense
and patience Of the man in the White
House saved this country from an
armed conflict with her southern
neighbor.
The presidents policy OF "watchful
waiting" once the subject OF the
sneers OF jIngoes and narrow parts
ans, has been more than vindicated
and is now praised even by that pof-
tion of the press that is hostile to the
administration. 1t will be to the ever
lasting credit Of Woodrow Wilson that
he preserved peace through a most
trying period in the history Of the
country.
However, the pronounced peace
policy of the present administration
has been shown in much larger way
than was manifested in handling the
Mexican affair. Mr.. Bryan Is no less
a man Of peace than is the preside1t
and although frequently pointed out as
an Impractical idealist he came 10 the
state department with some very prac'
tlcal and well defined ideas and plans
for minlfying the danger Of wal
These ideas we're soon embodied IN
treaties which seem destined to have
far reaching effects. What these
treaties propose is thus outlined by
Mr. Bryan:
"The twenty treaties have been rat
flied BY the United States senate and
are epoch.making. They provide for
investigation in all cases. The con-
tracing nations agree not to declare
war or begin hostiities until the In
yestlgation is complete the IN
vestigatlon not to extend beyond one
year without special agreement) but
reserve the right to act Independently
after the report is made.
'The commission is a permanent
one and represents five nations.
This plan. upon which the secre-
tary of state by the authority of the
president, has been working for more
than a year, will go far to make war
impossible. One more treaty has been
signed, but has not yet reached Wash
ington, and several more, including
Great Britain. France and China, are
agreed upon. Let the lovers of peace
rejoicel"

POSSIBLE RESULTS OF THE WAR.

Commenting upon the possible re-

The inevitable consequences OF the
Austro.Germanic alliance, If it is sue
cessful, 1t requires no prophet to fore
see. II would put an end to all hope
Of Balkan confederacy. 1t would
reduce the Balkan states to provinces
of Germany and Austria. 1t would
make Belgium and Holland Germanic
provinces, as Finland has been Rus
sian province 1t would result either
in close alliance, or, more probably,
in an organic union between Austria
and Germany. 1t would create Ger
manic empire which would extend
from the North sea TO the Mediterra-
mean. 1t would bring all Europe un-
der the dominion Of this Germanic EN-
pire, as all southern Europe was un-
der the domination OF Rome in the
first century. and as Napoleon endeav-
.ored to bring all eastern Europe un-
der his personal dominationlin the last
century. 1t would reduce Italy, Spain.
Portugal, France. and England to sub
ordinate positions. If not to dependen-

Europe for the time the democratic
movement of which France and Eng

throne autocracy from the Atlantic
coast to Siberia and from the North
