"The time has never been moro
ripe for the south to sieze tho oppor
tunity for the increase of her manu-
featuring and agricultural passibili-
ties. 1t may be said she lacks clpital
to develop these resources but north
ern capitalists are ready to invest
their money to finance good business

ditions in Europe which open these
fields to the south last but a few

years. Business lost by these coun-
tries and gained by The south will be
very hard to recover"

/ $312,262,215 This amounted tc every
citizen paying an average of $S.17.
Based on the 1910 Census and on this
average the citizens of the twelve
southern states east of the Mississippi
river and south of the Ohio river paid
out the enormous amount of over six
| ty-nine million dollars in import du-
! ties on foreign made goods used by
them, much of which could have been
manufactured in the south out of its
own raw materials or of those of
South and Central America repub-
lies, whose import trade is now so
much desired and sought for, owing to
the change of base of the worlds trade
by reason of the war.
"The utilization of the South's la
tent resources in mineral and soil
products means the development Of
the south in wealth and population.
While there are hundreds of articles
which the south can supply herself
as well as other sections and coun-
tries, two of the south's most impor-
tant assets figure quite prominently
in the import list, namely cotton and
tobacco.
I'm 1913 the United States imported
from Europe cotton cloths. thread
laces, handkerchiefs, ETC., to the
amount of over fifty million dollars,
and probably nearly all of these goods
were manufactured from the south's
cotton Much of this vast sum could
have been added to the south's wealth
by the goods being made where the
staple is raised.
"In the same year there was brought
into this country from Europe wrap
per leaf and smoking tobacco to the
value of over fourteen million dollars.
More than half of this amount was for

the Netherlands from Java ami Suma

ad valorum duty paid on this eight
million dollars worth of wrapper leaf
from Java and Sumatra via Europe to

worth of tobacco came from Turkey
Could not the southern states make

wood pulp to the value of two and
a half million dollars was imported
from Germany. Southern forests and

this need.

a million dollars was bought ia Eu-

Wool and wooden goods to the value

Ell ROPEAN WAR No. TWO.
There's no souer kraut in London,

But gone to fight the Germans,
And what will they do for beaus
When the men are killed in battle?
Come over here l suppose.
There's lie factory in London
Where they make the news of wa
One lie contradicts another
And the people argue and jaw
How the German right wing
Killed ten thousand at blow,
And the more we read about it
Some days the less we know.
The forts of Liege were taken,
Several times, we had to guess
Whether the Allies lost or won
Like playing a game of chess,
Russia wants to gobble up
A slice of the German pie
When the war is done, o there'll b,
And surely that's no lie
They have to fool the people
To make the papers SELL
Of course we know there's fighting
And fighting too like h--ll;
How many are killed or wounded
Nobody on earth can guess,
When those confounded censors
Make such a mixed up mess.
The Kaiser would swell in Paris
And the English Channel hold,
Swallow France and Belgium
And get away with the gold;
John Bull says, you did it,"
Kaiser blameS the Russ,
For disturbing the peace of Europe
Says he started his fuss!
The carrier pigeons in London
They killed so they wouldn't go,
rhe Russians hated the Germans
Near two hundred years we know
These fighting cocks Imperial
Had better make ring,
Put on the gloves for knock out
And settle the bloody thing.
The Russians sailed 10000 miles
After the Japs you know,
Fhey fired at night on a herring feet
And sunk a smack or two;
Look out old Kaiser the Phillistines
Are after Samson again.
And some fine morning they will knock
At the door of Berlin.
If your army don't take Paris
No doubt you'll have to try
To lombard Paris and London
With an army in the Sky
Of thirteen hundred air planes
To kill the sick and lame,
And stagger civilization
With infamy and shame.
Three hundred Britishers took tea
In the garden of Herr Bernhard,
The Berlin Chamber of Commerce
Invited the London Board
Of Trade to visit them and then
All went home and got gun
To blow each others heads Of
Just to have little fun.
No more champagne and Cocloo clocks
Silks and Brussels lace
And foreign cheeses for us will come
Till the nations have made peace,
Two great fiddlers in the war
VIII fiddle the dance of death,
While the British Lion roars and runs
The Germans out Of breath.
They opened the dykes Ia Antwerp
For seventy miles around
The city, guns, men and horses
Got stuck in the muddy ground
And drowned like the host Of Pharoah
After Israel in the Red Sea,

Who fights for the brave and free.

O-dis-cus went down into Hades
And talked with the phantom dead

INTOLERANCE

Until one picks up certain periodic
al exclusively devoted to expressing
such views, one scarcely realizes the
bitter and shocking intolerance felt
by many Professionals towards Roman
Catholics. If the feeling is returned by
any considerable group of the Roman
lists, we have surely in America today
a deplorable situation.
These are the times when many
of the boasts of a proud civilization
are proved to be empty, indeed. The
great European war has exposed the
fallacy of the claim that the world is
much more human, kindly, unselfish,
and noble than it was a thousand
years ago. If, in the name of religion,
any sect or group of people attacks
another group with as little show of
Christianity as some Professionals ex-
hibit in attacking Catholics, another
one of the pillars of our vanity is
rotten
Religion seems to have a painfully
small part in some of the hate-breath-
ing campaigns conducted in the name
of the Savior of the world

MO one knows the source of all the
~ fads that women indulge in, when
1t comes to the manner of wearing
their clothes. But variety is the spice
Of life and the present generation be-
lieves in much splicing. This is evil

change and is especially noticeable
when an eccentricity with no real
reason for being becomes a fashion.

these wells are made of large-meshed

and are bordered with a row of
chenille dots at the edge. They are
narrow and just long enough to reach
about the close-fitting hats with which
they are worn.
The wells just described are the
most sensible of the varieties that are
worn In this way. They are incon-
spicuous and do not interfere with
the eyes. This cannot be said of lace

A praiseworthy effort at harmony is
carried out in wells selected to match
the prevailing color with which the
hat is to be worn. This Is seen again
in wells selected to match colored fac
ings in black hats. In colored veil

coming and are therefore favorites

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD

No church in Moscow is more gen
orally respected more deeply APP
preciated or more widely credited with
being sincerely and constantly devot-
ed to the quickening of the spiritual
life of Moscow than the Presbyterian
church. Its record is noble, and its
friends are legion.
For this reason when the Presbyter-
ian church is entertaining a convention
the city is delighted to welcome as
its own guests the delegates to the
convention and is pleased to do what
it can to make them comfortable and
happy.
The greeting Moscow extends to the
Presbyterian synod is warm and gem
uine. That the ministers who are in
tendance may have a profitable and
enjoyable meeting is the earnest wish
of the entire city.
