CHAPTER u.

Nominee Of the contInentais.
Morning found the great capital in
the splendor of deep mourning. The
elevated sidewalks. the roof gardens,
the terraces were crowded by people
dressed in black. The newspaper roof
terraces were especially crowded;
there, on immense opal glass plates
sparks Of electricity printed the latest
news and illustrated the happenings
OF the moment with moving pictures.
On the main tower of the new capi.
tol building "a colossal creation of
pure American architecture) the Bell
Orchestra, comprising four hundred
players. played the march Of Com.
ing Peace" march that thrilled the
hearts with its melody. that elevated
the souls with thoughts Of Heaven,
that drove away evil thoughts with its
exquisite harmony and foretold the
happiness awaiting beyond. Resonant
horns spread the melody farther and
farther. until 1t soothed the mourning
people in neighboring towns.
The fourteen-hour San Francisco
limited had just slid into the central
depot of the Tube Lines; the broad
glass doors were flung open and the
passengers hurried out.

She could not understand the mean

While Astra was in her fathers
library the sad news spread through
the city. The autographed extras be-
gan to appear at the automatic news
stand. The short paragraph telling
about the wireless message from
Germany alarmed everybody.
More than fifty years before. In the
year 1919, the now prosperous and
peaceful United States had expert
enced great disaster. New emigra.
tion laws and the new tariff had pre-
cipitated an international conflict that
had involved not only the leading Eu-
ropean monarchies but Japan and
China as we'll. The ultimatum came
from the East and the West. Europe
was mobilizing on one side; the orien-
tails on the other; all the naeions
against one. The question was wheth-
er 1t was best to bow before the will
OF the united enemy. or to lose inde-
pendence. Congress seemed unable to
decide.
The time given the United States
for consideration was rapidly passing.
The President was In despair. He
gave orders to the fleet and land
forces. but In his heart he cried.

No work under heaven Is more Inn

tardly than the sale of their youth and
innocence; no charity is greater than
that which lifts the sinner from her
sin. But the fact that we habitually
apply the term white slave" to the
willful prostitute as we'll as to the
entrapped child, shows that power
full and popular sentiment Is absolved
from the shackles Of accuracy. Also
that this absolution confuses the
minds Of men. The sentimentalist
pities the prostitute as victim. the
sociologist abhors her as menace.
The sentimentalist conceives that men
prey, and women are preyed upon;
the sociologist, aware that evil men
and women prey upon one another

Reducing The State Tax -

Pensacola News: John Neal, the
chairman of the state tax commits
sion, was in the city a few days ago
and in consultation with County Tax
Assessor Sparkman stated that the
governor would reduce the rate of
state taxation from seven and half
mills to five as soon as he became
assured that the county assessors had
proportionately raised the assess
ments of property, says the Tampa
Times.
A reduction of one-third in the
rate of taxation looks upon the sur
face like a pretty good and very de-
sirable thing, but when it is made a
pre- requisite to the putting into effect
of that reduction that property should
be valued for purposes of taxation at
figures proportionately higher, the
people begin to ask the question, what
do we gain by it?
In order to bring about this pro-
posed lowering of the rate of state
taxation and to make the burden rest
equally upon all of the counties, it
must be seen to that all of them raise
their assessments proportionately.
There is no method of enforcing this;
it must be brought about, if at all,
by negotiation and agreement be-

This particular fact is demonstrated

Switzerland's Navy.

Long before Germany was to be reck-
oncd with as a sea power Switzerland
possessed a fleet equipped for warfare.
Eight hundred years ago on all the
larger Swiss lakes armed galleys were
maintained by the rival cantons. Skill
ed shipwrights had to be imported from
Genoa for the construction of these
vessels, some of which carried crews of
500 men. The largest Swiss 1otila
was maintained on the Lake of Gene
va. when the inhabitants Of Geneva
were at war with Savoy. Since the
neutrality Of Switzerland has been
guaranteed by the powers there has
been no need for warships on the lakes.
The Swiss, however. possess mercan
tile navy, which carries a considerable
amount of trade over the 3l2 miles of
nayigable waterways in the republic.
