The situation is bound to be one of
extraordinary confusion when sepa-
rated into its constituent elements As
a general proposition the great pow
ers are at war in two groups. Great
Britain. France and Russia are array

there are a number of complications
which make this analysis OF the war
incomplete. for the reason that each
member Of group is not necessarily
at war with each member of the
other group.
There are nine nations involved in
the struggle for European supremacy.
Great Britain is at war with Ger
many and Austria only. Ii is not

HALF A CENTURY OF FREEDOM

of negro freedom has extended until
it has become national in it's scope,

STAR SPANGLED BANNER AMI

One hundred years ago Monday the
strains of the Star SpanSled Ban

The words of the simple hymn, writ

in every class room Of every
school in the Union. they must in

the weight of injuries wreaked on his

The children who have sung his
song today must be moved 10 less

One OF the things that has worried
the big financial powers of the United

that New York city mas falling due

New York city bonds. Before the
first of January the transaction will
have been completed The equilib-
rum Of gold will have been restored
and no gold will have moved either

Europe Will give up its bonds and
take bread; the farmers Will give up
their grain and the railroads will haul
it and both Will take their pay in
checks of big New York banks-New

channels OF finance as so much cash.
New York city will still be in debt
but it will refund its matured bonds
and turn them over to the banks
which have engineered the trade be-

American farmer.
Thus the factor which has seriously
threatened the financial equilibrium
of several nations is disposed of. The
danger has been very great, and.
while We have not felt it, it has
threatened every citizen of the
United States How much better it
would have been had New Yorks debt

MIR. BEVERIDGE.

Some Of Mr. Beveridge's old COM
patriots in political matters have
charged him with insincerity and
with motives of self-interest and self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. They have insinu-
ated that he attached himself to the
new political party for the reason
that he had lost influence with the
organization to which he formerly
belonged In view of the tremendous
meeting for the senator's address
here last night, this view will have
TO be amended. There are few of the
$500 people that heard the speaker
who will charge him with insincerity.
There are few who will reiterate the
opinion that Mr.. Beveridge is no
longer a political influence. As long
as he stands for decency and right
thinking in political matters he will
be an influence and he will continue
to have the ear Of the people.-Terre
