FAVORED OF THE GODS

The state of Washington has just celebrated It's twsnty-fitth birthday, says a prominent Eastern exchange. It has every reason To be proud Of the achievements it has accomplish ed in 6 quarter e R century. But the record which It Ssems certain to make in the next twenty-five years will dwarf them into insigni- ficance.
 Puget Sound, as & mammoth haven for ships. probably cannot bs eQualed. Seattle claims already to rank next after New York in the deep-water vessel tonnage that enters and leaves it each year. And cfrcumstances are com bining to mako 1t even more one Of the greatest collecting and dis tributing points for the worlds trade.
 The development of the north west section Of this country is just getting well under way. Southwestern Canada is already going forward to 2 wonderful fu- ture. Alaska Is only beginning to pour outs it's riches. And the Pan anna canal Is even now uniting the commerce Of the Atlantic and the Pacific.
 Washington is q natural center connecting these great movements now only in their commencement. It. is not wanting In men who will take full advantage of the oppor- tunitIes offered. The young state in the country's far northwest corner bids fair soon to be one Of the greatest in the union.

ENGLAND GETS THE GOLD

The civil war in south Africa, caused by the revolt Of many BOers against the government Of the Union of south Africa, has not stopped or even checked the pro duction of gold in the great Trans yaal field. The Boer war B dozen years ago put an end to mining in that region for many months, but the rebellion which seems to be doomed to complete and speedy failure has no such effect. In Oc- tober the output of the South Afri- can fields was larger than it was in the corresponding month of last year.
 In fact, British south Africa is yielding gold at the rate Of about 00.G0O,OOO a year. It is fur uishing almost half Of the worlds output of the basic money metal of civilization. Nearly $1eO, ,O0O,- 900 a year more is coming from the mines in Australia, Canada, India and other parts of the Brit ish Empire. England has the first chance to obtain fully 70 per cent of all the gold mined, month after month, and year arter year. The remainder comes from Russia and Japan, allied powers. and from neutral countries like the united States.
 This factor iu the gold supply Of the nations at war nay have an important bearing upon the final result, If the struggle goes on for years, as many high author ities predict that It win. It is one of the many advantages which Great Britain derives rem vast and far-sDread empire and the free use of the seas.-CleTeland Leader.

Bayopets In Battle.

The bayonet is used 'n warfare, as much as ever Its chief value is its moral effect upon line of troops. The reasons why a comparatively small number are actually killed by the bay Onet are that those charged flee before the attack or those attacking are shot down or fall back before the concen' trated fire. The hand to hand conflict with bayonets is comparatively rare because one or the other side has given way before grips arr reached. The sol diers in the United States army are trained in this type of fighting. New York Tribune

Has Christianity No Influence
Among the Nations at War?

Of Christ in America has lately held a
meeting at which resolutions were adopt
ed expressing appreciation to President
Wilson for offering the services OF the
United States in mediation between the
European powers. They also endorsed the
position taken by the administration dis
approving of loans by American capital
lists for belligerent purposes. They ap-
pealed to the religious bodies through
out Europe and to the press of each OF
them. asking that a movement be insu-
tuted to urge all Christian families haV-
ing kindred in the armies to write 10
them personal letters, exhorting them,
whatever may be the provocation of the
enemy. to reduce in every possible way
the horrors OF war. They endorse the
pending peace treaties between the United
States and, different nations. and submit
the foIloling new suggestions to the
administration of possibilities to be en-
bodied in a universal treaty between ma
tons:
Il That some definite interval Of
time, to be mutually agred upon, shall
intervene between tn declaration of war
and the beginning OF active hostilities.
80 That in the interval a commission
Of the signatory powers shall make care
full investigation and report their find
ings to the world
g. That the signatory powers agree
TO enforce the observance Of the agree
ment upon the nation that transgresses
the treaty. by immediate military inter
vention."
They suggest also to the President that
he appeal TO the people OF the United
States generally TO observe as individuals
and as groups the most complete neu-
trality, and they ask that the President
will designate "a day Of united prayer
in all places of public worship and in
the homes of the people TO ask the Su-
preme Ruler to intervene in such ways
