T OOKING UP
4 "its always morning
somewhere"

Speaking Of optimism. it is delightful
to find anybody who can discover any
bright side whatever to the present
situation in Europe 1t is delightful,
not because there is humor in the sttu-
alton. but because the discovery dem
onstrates that, really, there is bright
side to everything. For il there can
be found a bright side to this situa-
ton, certainly there will never arise
any situation which will not have
something of comfort in it.
And the man who has found the
none other than DR.. Charles Mayo, one
of the brothers who made Rochester,,
Mimi, SO famous that Rochester, N. Y,
is extremely jealous.
According to DIR. Charles, this dis
tinguished surgeon, war today is all
beer and slSittle, peaches and cream,
milk and honey. In his opinian it is
truly a delight to be a soldier now,
compared with being a soldier no more
than few years ago. The bullets
from the high power rifles travel at a
velocity far greater than bullets ever
Travelled before and when one of them
hits man, instead of nesting costly in
his lung or liver or leg, it keeps on go
ing straight through, not even stop
ping for an exchange of words with
its victim. It is a pleasant prospect,
perhaps. Doctor Charles does not say,
however, what the victim is to do with
the hole the bullet has made. In the
that is left for the victim is to send
for a doctor. He would have to do that
bullets that stuck in his craW OF Wher
ever else it CHANGED to lodge within
him.
Yet 1t is possible that it is easier for
the victim to have the hole made clear
through him by the bullet than for the
bullet to go part way and then have
the rest of the hole made by the sur
geon. And perhaps the modern sur
seon is better at plugging up bullet
holes than was his predecessor in dig
sing out bullets
Something like this there must he
for Doctor Mayo is not man to ex-
press an opinion so positive without
having good grounds for it. He has the
bold. And we tire willing to take his
opinion without question. There is nj
blame. certainly, in wondering Wha
the reason is, but that need not impl,
any doubt as to the correctness of tn,
conclusion.
And to Doctor Charles must be gvel
the palm for optimism. He has foun,
the bright spot in this state of uni
versal war. 1t is more fun being
soldier now than it ever was before
And there is certainly a lot of thi
sort of fun in store for the poor devil
in Europe who are this mornin
marching and fighting and offerin
themselves as targets to these rapidly
moving bullets. The regrettable fea
ture of the situation is that not man
of them, perhaps none Of them. realiz
what fun they are having. For it
not likely that any of them has hear
the Mayo opinion. Somebody ought I
let them know that they are havin
more fun than any men who ever she
before.

On the Spur of the Moment
BY ROY K. MouLToN.

Virgins, proprietor of the Cove House,
has introduced a new invention in his
huttcl and has raised the rates 81 II
day as a result. In every room he has
placed Il hammer and large rock.
Guests will hereafter be able to get
rid of the sand feas and mosquitoes.
The system is to catch the sand flea
or mosquito, place him on the rock
and then hit him with the hammer. 1t
is thought this innovation will prove
very popular with the guests.

THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT

I7E EOKOFEAIN ANJINFLIN4l
Not since the days of the Napoeonic wars has Europe
faced situation that approaches the present one.
Before the week Closes five million will be at each
others throats and five million will have been mob
lized for
Ten million young withdrawn from the farms and
workshops OF Europe.
Within the next hundred days. literally billions Of taxes
will be added to the staggering burden being borne by
the people Tens Of thousands of human beings will be
slaughtered like sheep in the shambles.
A hundred thousand possibly quarter Of million Grip
ples-armless egess, sghtess body will be
added to the pension lists of Europe
Why this terrible calamity?
William Hohenzolern the war lord of Europe. Ad-
mittedy he the strong of the hour intellectually
he stands head and shoulders above the common herd OF
European rulers.
From second rate power in 1866 Prussia under the
leadership of the Hohenzoern has advanced to the very
center of European affairs.
Industray Germany has taken first place the cont
nent In the scientific world she holds place second to
none among the nations of the earth Physically her
people strong, vre and wonderfully reproductive
In military affairs, her army is undoubtedly the best
equipped best drilled and most efficient on earth Her
navy about equals fighting strength that of the United
States, about one-third the size of Englands.
Nearly one-thrd of the Germans of Europe hold
Francis Joseph is feeble old man. He was crowned
emperor in 1s4s His dual empire AustriaHungary, has
probably been held together by the force Of his personality
family tainted with mbecility His coming to the throne
holds promise of leadership.
That William is the head and brains of the Germany Aus
Itria combination one doubts
That William directing events when the ultimatum
was sent by Austria poor little Servia demand impos
sibe of ulflment by sefrespecting nation, no one
doubts
That William contemplaes the establishment of greater
German Empire, that will embrace within its limits all the
German speaking people of Europe most probable
empire that will extend from the Baltic the north to
1.-THE Adratc the south An empire such as this would
plant an eternal barrier against the further western move
ment of the Slavic
That German civilization better for mankind than the
Slavic admits of no argument.
The Interpretation of the intellectual enght-
lenment and scientific achievement The other spells the
spirit Of the dark ages of repression.
William is forcing the situation. France does not want
war England does Russia does not want war
Holland and Belgium have everything to lose and nothing to
gain by European conflict.
They each feel that the of all powerful Greater
German Empire that will overshadow them means the re-
duction of each to the status of second rate power
If the Austro-G German combination wins against prac-
1ticaly all Europe the map Of Europe will be redrawn
If William fails the house of Hohenzollern may be
stricken from the list
In that event, German republic is not an mpossbily
The possible that hang in the balance are
tremendous

scar it, turning it over two or

may retain it's juices; then cover
with the other pan, have a low

an excellent conductor of heat, a

That she in half year was mad
And in prison housed;
And there, with many a doleful song
Made Of wild words, her cup of

She fearfuIly caroused.
Farewell, and when thy days are told,
Inflated Jane, in haIlowed mould
Thy corpse shall buried be;
For thee a funeral bell shall ring,
And all the congregation sing
A Christian psalm for thee.
Excellent, madam" said Jim
Bryce automatically, but don't you
think it is little too gloomy for the
Sentinel to publish?"

old lady. Besides 1 want to get my

any of my poems printed yet, and if
folks likes this I've got nigh on
quire of 'em I'll bring around to you"
Jim dismissed little old Mrs. Saun-
derson with sort of promise, but,
when she was gone, he sat scratching
his head in perplexity. He was a
young man and had young mans
ambition to make his paper medium
of culture in Four Corners. And to
print such doggerel as that would be
to hold up the Sentinel to contempt
and execration.
Perhaps, being a young man, he
overestimated the popular apprecia-
ton of poetry in his native town. At
any rate, he could not bring himself
to insert it. He laid it aside in a
pigeon-hole.
why hain't my poem appeared in
the Sentinel this week." inquired
little Mrs. Saunderson, meeting the
editor on the street the day after the
weekly's next appearance.

Phillips County Mass Me citing.

Owing to the fact that it will be
necessary to elect complete set
of county officers for the proposed
new Phillips County, the election for
which has been set for the I'd day of
February, 1915, and, owing to the
further fact that there are no party
organizations existing in the pro-
posed county, it is thought best to
call mass meeting of all the quail
fled electors residing within the
boundaries of the proposed new
county for the purpose of ascertaining
the names of the various persons
desiring the nominations for office,
and determining, if possible, the best
and most satisfactory manner to
avoid opposition and dissension in
making such nominations.
Therefore, notice is hereby given
that there will be a mass meeting of
the qualified electors residing within
the proposed Phillips county, held
in the Bison Theatre Building, in the
Town of Malta, Valley County
Montana, on Saturday, the 18th day
of December, 1914, at one O'Clock
pm, for the purposes above out
