SECOND THOUGHT OF WAR

In spite of the movement of troops
and fleets, Europe is not yet at war.
There is conflict in the streets of the
great capitals. There are demonstra-
tions in the behalf of peace in Paris
and Berlin. There is hesitation in the
chancelleries.
If war comes now, it will be DELHI
erately murderous and wantonly de-
structive. Involving a continent, it
may easily result in essential defeat
to every nation participating, no mat
ter upon which combination of nations
victory may rest at last. No treaty
of peace resulting from such a con-
flict can possibly be recompense for
the losses that winners as we'll as
losers must sustain.
To this generalization there may be
one exception. If conflict such as
that now threatened should draw
blood enough and waste treasure
enough to turn every decent nations
attention back to peace and justice
and away from greed, courage and
militarism, the price paid. no matter
how high, might be considered cheap.
The everlasting wars south of the
Danube are an indictment of the re-
ligion as well as the civilization of
Europe. No question is presented in
the Balkan states that cannot be set
tied by reason. Nothing but avarice,
brutality and crime, some of it dynas-
tic, much of it shamelessly political.
and not a little of it sordidly CONNER
cial, prevents solution of the near
eastern question without firing shot
A sober second thought by, mon
archs and politicians and war gam
blers generally may yet stay the
slaughter Failing in that, the one
hope must be that the conflict will
proceed until it upsets thrones and
empires, destroys war lords and war
parties. wrecks war spectators and
war idolaters and involves in ire
trievable ruin war industries and war
finance, with all their corrupt and
perfidious agents.-World.

Austria has demanded of servia

immediate punishment be metered out

servia was slow to act and Austria
delivered an ultimatum. giving the

reply and accept the terms laid
down by Emperor Franz Joseph's
government.
The gist of the ultimatum was that
Servia should disclaim all responsible.
lily for the plot: that Servia should
promise to do her best to capture and
punish the conspirators and suppress
the pan-Slavic activities of her sub.

Servia's reply was unsatisfactory.

ing that Seryia so hedged its accept.
ance of the terms as to nullify the
effect of the demand.
Following was the answer made By
Servia, TO which the dual monarchy
took exceptions and began prepare
tions for war.
"Servia desires sincere and correct
monarchy.
Convinced of the necessity OF
maintaing such relations, the Servian
government will readily comply with
all the demands of Austria-H Hungary
which will serve to suppress all crir.-
inal acts. manifestations and disord-
ers in neighboring countries.
Because the SeTvia government
considers it is thereby fulfilling the
obvious duty of a civilized state the
government will in all sincerity do
everything possible to prove its in
tense desire for friendly relations
with the daul monarchy.

The Orlando Reporter-Star files an
indictment with many counts in II
against our Florida railroad commits
sion and says that it has grown into
a costly bureau constantly reaching
out for more authority without pro-
-ducing the kind of tangible net re-
suits that the people have a right to
expect. The Reporter-Star goes into
details and tells of freight inequali-
ties and other conditions which the
commission is supposed to remedy,
which make out what seems a case
serious enough to suggest to the tax
payer to inquire if the Florida rail-
road commission is worth its keep.
Time was when Hudson Burr would
have leaped into the fray with the 10y
OF battle in his eyes and made ample
reply to such charges as these. Why
not now miami Herald.
Perhaps it is because as a promi.
nent lawyer said after the 'long and

The Outlook Magazine favors an ex-
tension of the government by COM
mission idea so that there shall be
four great federal commissions, one
governing foreign commerce, another
domestic manufacturing and mer-
chandising of commodities, a third
their transportation and fourth the
financial operations underlying the
first three. 1t points out that there al
ready is an interstate commerce COM
mission and a national banking COM
mission, which is its name for the
Federal Reserve Board, and it be-
lieves the two others should be form
ed. The outlook's article is headed
Federal Government by Commits
sion," which by itself conjures up
thoughts of a great national commits
sion taking the place of the executive
and legislative departments, but there
is nothing suggested so widely radical
as that. Students of government will
find the Outlook's suggestions at least
interesting whether they can agree
with its views or not.-Savannah

THE "HAiR or THE DOG is GOOD
FOR THE BITE"

For as long as we can remember
we have heard that "the hair of the
dog is good for the bite" The saying
is at last being turned to practical
account.
1t is announced that DR.. Chas. II.
Duncan, of New York City has just
given to the public the first account
of the wonderful new method of self
cure recently discovered by him, in
which poison taken from the patients
own body is injected hypodermically
as a curative vaccine, with the result
that in acute conditions recovery is
assured, it is claimed in less, than a
week, and in chronic conditions usu.
ally within fortnight. This discovery
is called auto-therapy, or self-cure,
The patient is inoculated with un.
modified teric substance made and
developed within his own body, in
cases of all localized infectious dis
eases. Thus, If a. patient has bron
chitis, a small amount of sputum is
filtered through pasteur filter and
the bacteria-free filtrate is then in
jected hypodercically. Each patient
according to DR.. Duncan's discovery
thus carries with him at the seat OF
infection the exact remedy prescrib-
ed by nature to cure perfectly his
condition. The result of this simple
method of self-cure have been admit.
tedly astounding. 1t has been used
successfully it is claimed in hundreds
of cases of blood poisoning, hay fever,
asthma, chronic catarrh,, rhumatism
in the early stages Of consumption
and pneumonia. Il noticed" said DIR.
Duncan, that a dog with a sore foot
never suffered from blood poisoning.
also noticed that whenever the dog s
foot was sore it was carefully licked
and washed with the tongue. Was it
possible that the poison which the
dog introduced into his system by
licking the wound acted IS d healing
agent on the very wound from which
the poison was taken? About the
same time he was bordering this DR..
Duncan had a patient suffering with
blood poisoning whom medical sci
ence gave only short time to live.
Everything known to medical science
had been done to save her life, and
yet it was evident that death was only
a matter of hours. Then DR.. Duncan
thought of the dog and resolved to
take desperate chance. He extract
ed some poison from the mans leg
and gave it to him as medicine, and
then waited. Within few hours his
condition seemed to improve, and it
grew steadily better He made an I'M
eventful recovery. DR.. Duncan con-
Quoted further experiments, and
found that his methods of self immu-
nization worked almost invariable
toward a successful cure. Auto-ther-
apy has opened up an entirely new
field.

WHAT is IT ALL ABOUT?

It has just been one hundred years
ago since the great Napoleon, whose
name comes down to US as the "thund-
erbolt of war;" listened to the decree
which entombed him for life on the
rock-ribbed shores of a solitary island,
where for six years he must have
suffered the torments of the lost.
The enconiums passed upon him by
the students of war are that he was
greater than Caesar, greater than
Hannibal, greater than Alexander,
greater than the three combined. He
is regarded as the bright particular
star of the Goddess of Mars.
After lapse of century will there
issue forth from the lowering war
clouds of Europe figue so impelling
and commanding!
When he was entombed in Paris in
the most imposing mausoleum on the
face of the earth it was said by one
of our famous writer's:
"Let the century that knew him
wrap the tattered flag of war about
him and lie down to dream of
slaughter, but let us look forward
across that new country, whose sun
rise now brightens the hills of COM
ing time, believing that it will usher
i'm the thousand years, the ten thou
sand years, ah! the endless era of
peace UNIVERSAL"
Napoleon left his crimson stains
from the Alps of Italy to the pyramids
of Egypt; from the peninsulars of
Spain and Portugal to the pillars OF
Hercules; from the rich plains OF
Lombardy to the snow covered plains
of Moscow, and yet at the end of his
career at Waterloo two decades only
summed up the period of his fearful
military activities.
Besides the havoc inflicted upon his
enemies Napoleon lost an army in
Egypt and still larger one in Rus
STA. In the retreat from Moscow it is
estimated that three hundred thous-
and persisted.
We do not remember to have seen
an estimate of the number supposed
to have been killed in the more than
one hundred battles in which he was
the central figure but it is safe to say
that as many or more than two mil
lion of the very flower and fruitage of
Europe lost their lives in those fate
full twenty years!
If Austria, or Servia, or Germany,
or Russia, or France, or any of the
principalities of unfortunate Europe
that are now grasping at one an
others threats, should evolve figure
resembling in any respect this wiz
zard of warfare, what will be the re-
suits?
To say nothing of the stream of
blood that is compelled to crimson
many fields, the map of Europe may
have to be entirely revised.
And what is it all for?
Simply to crafty the lust and am
bition of few monarchs who are
obsessed with the belief that they are
ordained of God to govern without
the consent of the governed.
Will it always be so?
Are all our efforts for International
arbitration to be treated merely as a
mockery!
Are we to make target of the mon
ument erected to symbolic peace at
the Hague anu tear down the figure
of Christ overlooking the Andes!
