"CIVILLZED" WARFARE

Says the New York Evening World:
Warfare is certainly more civilized
in the sense that nations keep tab on
one another's ways and means of wag-
ing it, exclaiming in indignation when
somebody strains point.
Even hundred years ago we
doubt if there was quite so much re-
cording of the enemy's nefarious
crimes and practices with the idea of
trying him for them later in the court
of nations. Nor would there have
been such moral outcry because an
invading army saw fit to raise a good
round sum from a conquered city.
Even a Hague Convention never elm
mated the principal that occupied ter
ritory can be made to produce money
for the needs of the occupying army.
And who is to be judge of such needs
War is not a tournament or a
fencing bout. The blades have TO
| buttons on them, nor are national
| pocketbooks inviolate. Nevertheless,
it would still be a hopeful sign if, in
this twentieth century blood-fest, war
ring nations could force one another
to wade in with a sword in one hand
and a manual of justice and humanity
in the other"
We heard once of a young Confei-
crate who went to war thinking it
would be picnic. When he discover
ed that the guns were loaded and that
the enemy shot to kill he was amazed.
1t is hard to think of any fighting
as being civilized. The most modern
engine of warfare-the airship-seems
to be regarded as the most unciviliz-
ed especially when it drops boombs
by night.

THE NEW MUTT AND JEFF"
IS A VERITABLE INNOVATION

With sensational melo-dramatic
story under the title of Mutt & JEFF
in Mexico, Gus Hills perennial sue
cess of that name, re-appears "spick
and span" everything new but the but
tons, to clean up the coin again as 1t
has done for the past two years. The
irrepressible Gus" has evidently kept
tabs on every line, thrill, laugh, song
and situation during his entire nearly
a century" of theatrical experience. It
seems that this seasons Mutt & jeff
in Mexico" contains nothing but the
real essence of true amusement with
out hitch or line that does not go
over in great shape. There's catchy
whisteable music, a laugh to every
breath, a song hit or an enhancing
dance number, whenever your sides
begin to ache from excessive laughter
and bunch of exceedingly pretty girls
to give the whole thing zest. There you
have I'm Mexico" To say it is a hit,
is putting it altogether too mildly. It's
a riot! With gorgeous scenic and light
effects and magnificent change of
costumes for every one of the twenty
or more song and dance numbers. AT
ter all, it resolves itself into rip
roaring" side-splitting comedy such as
you would expect after seeing the dali
ly cartoons by Bud Fisher which are
still as popular with the readers of
the thousand or more daily and Sum
day papers as they were three years
ago. Mutt & jeff in Mexico" with the
big fifty thousand dollar production,
comes to the Opera House Saturday,
Sept. 9Th, for one night only. You
wouldn't wish your worst enemy such
luck as to miss Mutt & jeff" Get
seats as soon as the advance sale is
announced, if you want a good seat.

In the history of Europe during the
past century nothing is more curious
than the easy way in which national
alliances have been made, broken,
made again and changed as dynastic,
economic and racial reasons have de-
manded. Here are a few of these
political transformations:
In 1915, Russia, Prussia, England
and Austria combined against France
and crushed the power of Napoleon
forever.
In 1S49 when revolution in Hun
gary threatened the house of Haps-
burg in Austria, Russia interviewed
and by force of arms placed the
present Emperor Francis Joseph up
on his thrown.
In 1866 England, France, Austria
and Italy allied themselves with the
Turk against Russia in the CrimeQn
war.
In 1859 France defeated Austria in
Italy, and gave a great impetus to
the unifcation of Italy.
In 1866 Prussia gave it's present ally
Austria a fearful beating at Sadowa,
and forced it out of first place in the
German confederation.
In 1870 Prussia inflicted upon
France the defeat, with accompany
ing loss of territory that has been the
cause of Europe's unrest ever since.
In 1877 Russia defeated the Turks
decisively but was cheated out of the
rightful fruits of her victory by a
combination of the other powers in
the treaty of Berlin.
Old enmities and friendships are
now forgotten and Italy, which de-
tests both Austria and Germany, is
united with them in the triple al
lance, while those old-time enc
mics, England and Russia, are allied
with France in the triple entente.
What will be the next switch .
Events of the next few days may bring
it about quicker than one could have
supposed.

Are the Zeppeiins Busy :?

What are the Zeppelins doing? Az
parently one must go to the wi, .
waves of the North Sea for an answer.
The "Staats-zeitung printed d
day or so ago a paragraph of news, -
derived, it said, from private CORES
pondence, to the effect that each night
the zepplins housed on the North Sea
coast stole forth from their sheds, to
return in the morning after having
demolished a British battleship. Nine
teen of the enemy's ships, said this
paragraph, had already met their
midnight fate in this manner.
The only possible confirmation of
such a narrative comes in tiny dis
patches from Denmark and from Hol-
land reporting the appearance of Yep
pelins sailing above these little ner-
trail countries to or from the North
Sea. Germans, of course, point to the
silence of the British Admiralty con-
corning North Sea operations as par

Beef Cattle From the South

In the midst of much loose thrash
ing around about the high cost of liz,
ing one practical movement is dis
cerned. The effort of the Department
of Agriculture to stimulate cattle
raising in the South has the note OF
common sense.
AS the plans are outlined, the De-
partment proposes to organize a 500
acre live stock farm in Louisiana on
the border between the cotton and
the cane fields. The land was once
prairie, it is understood, and grass
grows luxuriantly on it if nature be
only left to herself. The state has
given the use of the land, now one of
its convict camps, as soon as this
years crop of cane is cut and then a
fight will be made to exterminate in
sect life injurious to cattle
No effort will be made to cultivate
dairy cattle. Animals fit for beef are
the special aim of the experiment.

WILL THE FOOD B4R0NS COMPEL AN

Greed is always shortsighted. Ready
dollars blind the eyes to greater gains.
Many of the food barons are afflicted
with pernicious myopia. They can see
nothing except the opportunity TO
squeeze enormous immediate profits
out of the people of this country as
well as the foreign nations.
There can be but one sequel to this
foolish policy. 1t will enforce an EN-
barge upon the expectation of food
stuffs. This will be the inevitable
result of the mad folly of reckless and
inexcusable prise raising.
The people of America, raising food
abundant for all their needs, will not
submit to being squeezed dry by these

The white man is white, the yellow

many people of the Occident because
he is attacked by those men of Orien-
tai Nippon. Sentiment has its weight
no less in war than in peace, and if
circumstances should draw the Jap

worthless Chinese possessions into the
very theatre of Europe's struggle, I'M
Questionably there would be violent
protest by nations and by races on
both sides of the Atlantic.
For the powers of Europe allied
