A COLOSSAL WAR.

The colossal operations of the armies both in the
and west of Europe stagger the imagination. In
no former war in recorded history such numbers
engaged in single battles or anything like them. In
France the battle line has extended for more than
hundred and fifty miles In the east the Russian
Austrian and German battle fronts have been nearly
two hundred miles. And the count of combatants is
made by millions
AS extraordinary is the number of cannon used.
these are counted by the thousands and each gun is
more effective than OF the old-fashioned
guns used in the Napoeonic wars. Napoleon often
massed his artillery for concentrated fire and the use
of 200 guns in this way excited wonder But they
not effective would be dozen machine
guns of the present day, and they would amount to
nothing against the modern Notifications which the
German guns battered into heaps of debris.

THE TOY MAKERS CALAMITY

Eight million dollars worth of toys were imported
from Germany last year for the American Christmas
TO delight American children. 1t simply trade
transaction but there is human interest in this
trade than in all others The manufacture of German
toys is not a machine process The cheaper toys
made by the German peasant families in their homes
and the manufacture each year has been very i'm
portant part of their domestic economy
1t is little enough they but the income helps
their frugal living. Their best market has been
the United States, where American children soon dis
of years supply, to leave the market bare for
the next. The has cut off this great market for
the German peasant family and consequently 1t has
cut off the American children from their German toys
There is peasant class in this country to make
toys at the small wage to replace the German,
and the stock left from last year is very small
But American children can be supplied otherwise or
can go without. The distress is that of the humble
homes in the Black Forest and it is acute Distress
brought by unhoy that well deserves
the excavations of mankind

The Kaiser's God.
n The Rochester Herald.

From the Rochester Herald.
Kaiser Wilhelm made a speech the
other day, in which he spoke of the
gratitude ne felt for God, as God had
given victory to his troops. This is
the twentieth century, and yet we
find, sitting upon the throne OF one
of the most highly cultured nations of
the world. a monarch who affects TO
believe, and who, perhaps, does be-
lieve, In all sincerity, that God loves
his people more than He loves Eng
lishmen, 8renchmen, Russians and
the like. And in his ruthless invasion
of the territory of a neutral country,
an invasion that forced the people of
that country to fight, against their
desire. in order to defend their homes,
he believes that God has interfered to
give victory to his arms!
The world is full of people who can
believe anything that they really
want to believe, and Kaiser Wilhelm
is doubtless one of them. But these
people are at bottom, only the vic
TINS of superstition, Abraham Lin
coin thought the Almighty must love
the plain people, because He had
made so many OF them. One might
suppose, too. on the same basis of
reasoning, that He was equally We'll
disposed toward Russians, English.
men ana Frenchmen, and. let us add.
Belgians, as Belgium happens to be
the most densely- populated country
i'll Europe. But the Kaiser's egotism
will not have 1t so. In his conceit he
imagines that the Almighty and he
are in partnership.
OF course, this notion of the
Kaiser's is a relic of those days when
each nation had its own tribal god.
and believed that, in the days of war.
the respective gods fought just as
the tribes themselves did. The
Kaiser's conception is logical enough
and sensible enough, If polytheism be
fact. But it should find no place
in the mind of a person who processes
to believe in monothelsm. If there
are many gods. then these many gods
may each have his favorites, but II
there is but one God, He can have
none. At least, it is not logical TO
suppose that He loves German bet
ter than a Frenchman or Englishman,
or vice versa. But the Kaiser. for all
his ability In certain directions, has
never In his. speeches manifested the
workings Of logical mind.

PRIMARY SECOND CHOICES UNPOPULAR.

If there is any State where the second-choice plan
in primary elections might be expected to work well
it is Wisconsin, of the chief nurseries of new
devices politics Never better organized effort
made to ascertain the second choice of voters than in
last weeks gubernatorial primaries in WISCONSIN.
Thousands of letters sent out reminding them of
this opportunity The LaFollette lieutenants. made
personal appeals to the same end.
And yet official returns show that less than five
voters every hundred took the trouble to register
a second choice The lesson of Wisconsin seems to
be that where there arc than two candidates
pluralties will decide nominations just they do
elections The average American who takes interest
enough politics go to primary doesn't who
wins il his man loses. He has no second choice.
