BUT ONE POSSIBLE ISSUE.
Now that the sudden attack on Paris
has failed, and adequate time has been
secured to summon the slower-moving
forces of Russia and England, and these
two resolute and p, rsistent peoples have
decided to use all their spiritual and
material forces In cooperation with
France against Germany, thoughtful
Americans can see but one possible issue
Of the struggle, whether 1t be long or
short, namely, tue defeat OF Germany
and Austria Hungary In their present
undertakings, and the abandonment by
both peoples OF the doctrine that their
salvation depends on militarism and the
maintenance Of sutocratic executives in-
trusted with the power and the means to
make sudden war. They believe that no
human being should ever be trusted with
such power. The alternative 10, Of
course, genuine constitutional govern
ment, with the military power subject to
tho DIV II power.
The American people grieve over the
fruitless sacrifices Of life, property, and
the natural human joys which the Ger
man people are making to . wrong and
impossible ideal OF national power and
welfare. The sacrifices which Germany
10 imposing on the allies are fearfully
heavy, but there 10 reason to hope that
these will not be fruitless, for out OF
them may come great gains for liberty
and peacein Europe.
All experienced readers on this side Of
tho Atlantic are we'll aware that nine.
tenths Of all the reports they got about
the war como from English and French
sources. and this knowledge makes them
careful not to form judgments about de-
tails until the events and deeds tell their
own story. Ths -nnot even tell to
which side vioto In along, far.

The Cost Of Killing
A Man ii Warfare

Since DIR. Jordan of California has
stated that it costs $15, 900 to kill d
mar in war, General Percin Of the
French army has gone into the sub
ject very thoroughly, says the Web
ster World, epitomizing the statistics
supplied with RELATION thereto.
The Franco-Prussin war cost the
French as follows: for actual war,
$400,000,000;; property destroyed,
s200s000,0 900; interest, etc, $780, 00,-
600; for Indemnity 81, 200, 100000; to-
tai, approximately, $4,000, 000. 900.
The war between Russia and lap
an cost Russia ii and half bill
lions.
sIn#the Franco-Prnssian war France
lost in killed and mortally wounded
2S,600 men, while In the Russo-Japan-
ese war the number killed or NOR
tally wounded Appropriated $500.
From these figures Gen. Percin cal
gculates that the cost per death Id
battle in the Franco-Prussian war
was $4,000 and S20,400 In the Russo.
Japanese war. He also shows that
the percentage of death in battle Ii
less In modern warfare than 1t was
in FTederick's time, for the reason
that while progress is great III the
art Of killing there is greater pro-
gress in defense.
Frederick the Great lost 6 per cent
Of his men in battle and Napoie IN
only 8 per cent. There was only !
out Of 100 killed In the Franco
Frussian war and only 1 out OF coo
men engaged In the Russo-Japanese
war.
These figures, and the cost OF kill
ing, takes no account OF the soldiers
who died from cholera, typhoid and
other diseases. Disease carries on !
and 3 men to one killed In battle.

Rnrbank's Ways with Flowers and fruits.

AL who, are interested in flowers and gardening should read the
articles on Burbank ssa achievements and how he aecenpishes them,
running an the July, August and September numbers of the Good
Housekeeping Magazine. They are exceedingly interesting even
though one does not care to put them 40 the test
We are SO accustomed to seeing potatoes grown from cuttings
that we are prebahly mot aware how new varieties of potatoes are
produced The Burbank potato was Mr.. Burhanks first expert
farm A0facng q seed ball forming ON one of the vines in ii potato
patch (which, by the way, is rather OF unusual occurrence. ae care
fully guarded this until maturity, saved the eighteen seeds, and
planted each m q separate hill the following season, producing from
several of the hills a very high grade pSaato; a decided improvement
over the mother vine. These he sold 10 a dealer for $15Opo with
which he purchased a ticket to California to establish his present
gardens, under more favorable conditions. He has since succeeded
IN crossing the potato with the tomato. growing potatoes ON ale to-
|1nato vine and vice versa.
The fragrant cala is another late achievement. IeI Won ever
stop to think that the color and fragrance Of the flower has another
and more Important mission from that Of merely gratifying ,sness
sense of smell and beauty How would the little busy bee Hslow
what flowers to join together, were it not for these alurements. In
the case Of the Gala lily, without odor, the fertilization IS accom-
|pished by small gnats and flies, attracted By its Wilderness at night
and its warmth for protection.
Any one might originate q new flower as did Burbank the red
California poppy. While walking through u field Of these Little
yellow flowers one day, he CHANGED to note 4 blossom with 4 tiny
streak OF red running through one of its petals. Carefully marking
The blossom, he gathered the seed, planted II, producing several
plants bearing flowers manifstng q larger streak of red, until after
several generations, he succeeded III producing i perfectly red Cali
fornia poppy.
The Shasta daisy Of which We are all So fond, was crossed with
The American field daisy and the English and Japanese daisy. The
shrststwo combinations developed the size and shape, and lastly the
little Japanese daisy fixed the daintiness of color.
But corn, melons and squashes are recommended to beginners
as the easiest with which to experiment. The pollen may Be carried
from one TO another on 4 small brush, after which paper bag should

MY way Of Putting Up Fruit in Economy Jars.

Have perfectly ripe fruit, fresh and perfect. Put carefully into
jars When half full, add sugar, and continue filling with fruit to
the very top. Set in sink and pour in cold water until ii seeps over
the top, running a silver fork down several times to remove air bub-
bles. Clamp on the ce-ers-which have been previously dipped in
cold water, and set in boiler, taking care that cans do not touch each
other, or they will break. IF you'd not have a perforated beard to-
fit inside yoHr boiler, use hay to set the cans upon. Fill the boiler up
with cold water until 1t just reaches the necks Of the cans put on
cover and cook one hour. Remove from fire, letting cans stand IN
water until cold. Take out and stand bottom side up for Ten days,
testing each day by Hitting the lean BY The cover. Is theeoper loos-
ems, the fruit must be nsed at once You will find that the sugar will
tend to adhere to the bottom of can, but this may be overcome by
shaking a little each day. I allow a cup OF sugar to each qaart can.
With peaches, I add one or two meats from the peach stones. This
gives a pecuiarly delicious flavor. Fruit prepared in this manner
tastes and looks the most like fresh ofsany way I have ever tried.
