The first shock Of conflict was nat
urally alarming to all. but a second
view shows that America need not
be disturbed.
For many years the world has
had established trade customs and
trade routes. These have now been
shattered.
Very well, then. Establish new
customs and new rodtes. Europe has
acted as a clearing house for trade
between North and South America
Therefore, the sudden paralysis Of
this clearing house furnishes an op-
portunity to cut on the middleman's s
profits.
1t is true that the American man
ufacturer will lose something of his
European market. but ally that he has
to do is to free himself from the in
ertia of trade custom and develop the
South American field now abandon
ed by his former competitors.
We are told that there are materi-
ais indispensable to American manu-
facturers that can be obtained only
from the warning countries.
Nonsense! tt
We have factories and experts and
machinery and chemicals in this
country which can be used to pro-
duce anything which has been i'm
ported from abroad.
In this instance the war will have
tariff guaranteeing the American
producer.
The men who take advantage of
this situation are the men who will
make fortunes, while at the same
time helping their countrymen.
We know that South America is
going to take vast quantities of fin
ished products from us. Into these
finished products must go quantities
of materials themselves not to be di-
rectly exported.
| individuals and companies intend
ing to engage in this South African
trade should proceed Immediately to
get quotations for their raw ma
terials.
Instead of partial paralysis OF
business we have encouragement to
new enterprise.
The lifting of prices must be
stopped Immediately.
| Farsighted merchants will en-
deavor to extend business, not to cur
tail it.
Out of the European catastrophe
should grow a tremendous business
expansion in the United States. It
is for the business men, manufactur-
ers and merchants to bring this
about. T'NaSf'"
They can do It.

"oUR SIDE OF IT."

We are not ashamed of the uniform
and IL you are a friend
You'll never say against it
Any word that will offend.
1t has covered honored bodies,
And by heroes has been worn
Since the days OF the Republic,
| When the Stars and Stripes were
born.
And they are of many patterns.
Some are khaki and some are blue,
them
Are of many patterns, too.
Some are sons of wealthy parents;
Some are college graduates;
Some have manly virtues
Some are simply reprobates.
We have many skilled mechanics;
Men of brains and letters who,
Loyalty have served the country
That they are credit to.
No. indeed all are not angels!
Blackguards, yes we have some of
| those.
When they came into service
They all wore civilian clothes.
Men of all kinds when they are
drinking
Misbehave, act rough and swear: !:
Drunken soldiers or civilians
| Are disgusting anywhere.
Grant us, then, your forbearance;
| Well appreciate it more
Than lot of noisy cheering
/ When we leave for war.
We have set with you in public
And smelled your whisky breath.
Heard remarks insane and silly,
Nearly boring us to death.
Though we offered no objections
When in theatres we have met,
Yet you should exclude US
From that most exclusive set?
[1f you meet us out in ptblic
On the streets or anywhere
We don't merit sneering glances
Or patronizing stare.
For we have an honored calling
AS our garments plainly show;
You may be thief or a parson-
How are we to know?
l don't care for your profession
Occupation what you do.
When you're gazing at a soldier
And he is looking back at you.
Who is there to judge between you ?
AS you stand it's man for man,
lOnly one--the great Almighty!
| Name another if you can.
Drop your proud and naughty bear
ing
| And your egotistic pride;
IGet acquainted with the soldier
And their heart and soul inside:
iTest and try to analyze him.
Criticise him through and through
land you will very likely find him
Just as good a man as you.

THE WOMAN THOU GAVEST ME
The Greatest Story of the Twentieth Century

as a child, and even some of the toys
had played with
A strange woman, in the costume
of a nurse, turned to look at me as
/ entered, but | did not at first see
my mother, and when at length I did
see her, with her eyes closed she
looked so white and small as to be
almost hidden in the big white bed.
Presently Father Dan came in, fol-
lowed by Doctor Conrad and Aunt
Bridget, and finally my father who
was in his shirt sleeves and had a
pen in his ear, l remember.
Then Father Dan, who was trem-
bling very much, took me by the hand
and led me to my mothers side,
where STOPPING over her, and making
his voice very low, yet speaking as
one who was calling into a long tun-
mel, he said:
my daughter! My daughter! Here
is our little Mary. She has come
home to see you!"
Never shall forget what followed.
First, my mothers long lashes parted
and she looked at me with a dazed
expression as if still in a sort of
dream Then her big eyes began to
blaze like torches in dark hollows,
and then Though they had thought
her strength was gone and her voice
would never be heard AGAIN. she
raised herself in her bed, stretched
out her arms to me, and cried in
loud strong tones:
"Mally veen! My Mally veen!"
How long l lay with my arms about
my mother and my mothers arms
about me I do not know. l only know
that over my head I heard Father
Dan saying, as if speaking to a child:
You are happy now, are you not?''
Yes, yes, l am happy now" my
mother answered.
You have everything you want?"
Everything everything."
Then came my fathers voice, say
ing:
We'll you've got your girl Isabel.
You wanted her, so we sent for her,
and here she is"
You have been very good to me.
Daniel" said my mother, who was
kissing my forehead and crying in
her joy.
When I raised my head, I found
Father Dan in great excitement.
Did you see that then?" he was
saying to DIR. Conrad. u would have
gone on my knees all the way to
