STATE COLLEGE. Pa, Sept. H.
The advance guard of State College
football warriors yesterday donned
uniforms and took the field for the
first practice of the 1914 season. The
weather permitted only light work,
and nearly an hour was devoted to

The former Charles M. Wheatley res
idence on College street and one
among the handsome old landmarks of
Americas, is to undergo an entire rem
ovation at the hands of artisans and
painters, and thus modernized, it will
soon be made again one of the attract

owned by the four daughters of the
late Col. Wheatley, and the work of
renovation will be put under way at
once. The house is in the center of
lot of several acres, with beautiful
magnolias and cedars ornamenting the
front lawn, and these grounds will be
used to advantage. The dwelling will
be removed near the west boundary
line, thus rendering available for
building purposes handsome lot next
the Allen residence. In it's Lew dress

Blight on Civilization.

They are our masters in science, art,
and industry, as undoubtedly they are
so with regard to all humanity. The
special physiological atmosphere
wherein the world has existed since
war was declared is also Oppressive for
all progress or advancement. Civiliza-
ton has come to a grievous standstill,
which will cast on the future it's dark
shadows for many years and the dark
shadows will darken forever the
names of those who are responsible for
this war, which war history will con-
slider as an anachronism.

On account of the European war the
markets where Colombia was wont to
sell to advantage large part of it's
products, viz: gold, platinum ores, en-
eralds, coffee, cocoa, tobacco, rubber,
ivory, nuts, hides, &C., are closed, and
that republic cannot receive the goods
and manufactures in which she was ac-
customed to deal. For example, Column
bia used to buy on the aggregate $12,-
100000 in cotton and wooden goods,
only a $1,5OO,OOO of which came from
the United States. But that war has
especially suspended for Colombia the
banking and credit facilities which
were necessary to prepare and gather
the crops of coffee and other products,
and be able to place them in European
Duty or tne u. y.
If the war continues, Colombia will
necessarily increase its purchase in the
United States, but in order that that
increase shall be large one, it will be
indispensable that the United States
should give it easy means of purchase,
and that can be accomplished by af-
fording it an opportunity to sell such
products in those markets. BY dis
playing little intelligence and the
pluck which characterizes Americans
and by having full confidence in the
honorability af solvency of Colombian
merchants, the unsettled condition
brought about by the European war
can be changed into the beginning of
a permanent boom for the trade rela-
tons between Colombia and the UHited
States.

The influence of the European war
on Venezuela is very noticeable. 1t is
the same as that experienced in the
other American republics, including
the United States. Half of the general
trade of Venezuela, both in exporta-
tons and importations, is affected with
the three nations that are mostly inter
ested in the ruggle-France, Ger
many, and England. Our commercial
interchange with the United States is
scarcely one-third of that amount. 1t

Even if the payment of the $25, OO0,-

merely an investment, it would consti-

something which may be styled provi-

is a source of great benefit for the
commercial and industrial activity of
this great republic.
If the treaty is not approved, that
