Bismarck to Blame.

So far as any one man is to blame
that man is Bismarck, with his policy
of blood and iron, and his malignant
attitude toward France. The seizure
of Alsace-Lorraine was crime
against Europe rather than France; it
was the fons ct origo of all these
troubles. War need not mean lasting
hostility-Prussia had fought Austria
just before fighting France But in
Selling provinces which have never
been reconciled to their fate and are
now hotbeds of sedition, in pursuing
France rancorously by striving to
keep her isolated in Europe, Bismarck
was forcing his enemy into the arms
of Russia and unwittingly arming half
Europe against the other half There
is no fundamental hostility between
France and Germany save the bitter
ness on one side over the lost prov
inces and the fear on the other side
that France meditates revenge. Thus
each side has been obliged to keep
armed to the teeth for fear of sud-
den blow by the other, and with the
enormous growth of Russia the tinan-
cial strain on both France and Ger
many has increased unbearably.-

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in
THE NEW TESTAMENT
. Translated from the Original Greek.

publicans and sinners sat also to-
gether with Jesus and his disciples
for there were many, and they fol-
lowed him.
16. And when the scribes and
Pharisees saw him eat with publicans
and sinners, they said unto his dis
ciples, How is it that he eateth and
drinketh with publicans and sinners
II. When Jesus heard it, he saith
unto them, They that are whole have
no need of the physician, but they
that are sick: | came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Is. And the disciples of John and
of the Pharisees, used to fast; and
they come and say unto him, Why do
the disciples of John and of the
Phariees fast, but thy disciples fast
not?
10. And Jesus said unto them, Can
the children of the bridechamber fast
while the bridegroom is with them?
as long as they have the bridegroom
with them, they cannot fast.
20. But the days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be taken away
from them, and then shall they fast
in those days.
81. No man also seweth piece OF
new cloth on an old garment: else
the new piece that filled it up taketh
away from the old, and the rent is
made worse.
%. And no man putteth new wine
into old bottles: else the new wine
doth burst the bottles, and the wine
is spilled, and the battles will be
married: but new wine must be put
into new bottles.
%. And it came to pass, that he
went through the corn fields on the
sabbath day; and his disciples began,
as they went, to pluck the ears of
corn.

him, Behold, why do they on the sab

26. How he went into the house OF
God in the days of Abiathar the high
priest, and did eat the shewbread,
which is not lawful to eat but for the
priests, and gave also to them which
were with him?
q. And he said unto them, The
sabbath was made for man, and not
man for the sabbath:
%. Therefore the Son of man is
Lord also of the sabbath.

who are used to the rough and tum-
BILE of politics.
Modern social dress parade places
heavy strain on women in public life.
1t ought to be sufficient for them to
supply a quiet and peaceful home life,
where their husbands would find re-
freshment after the contentious and
toll of the day.
The customs of political centers
make the wives of public men social
leaders. They must entertain digni-
taries in an attractive fashion. must
maintain an appearance of social
ease and charm, remove friction, Sub
ject themselves to critical comment,
meet the intrustiOns of ambitious
persons, AID live in flutter and tur-
moil
Mrs. Wilson, not satisfied with
meeting Sll obvious duties, gener
ously tried to uplift the slums Of
Washington. Her case is conspicu-
GUS instance of the many women who
attempt tasks beyond their power to
fulfill. Life in the social lime light is
one of strain. The greatest kindness
the public can confer is to let tie
wives of public mel enjoy quiet
family life SO far as is possible.

5. When Jesus saw thier faith, he
said unto the sick of the palsy, Son
thy sins be forgiven thee.
6. But there were certain of the
scribes sitting there, and reasoning
in their hearts,
Z. Why doth this man thus speak
blasphemies? who can forgive sins but
God only?
8. And Immediately when Jesus
perceived in his spirit that they SO
reasoned within themselves, he said
unto them. Why reason We these
things in your hearts?
8. Whether is it easier to say to
the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be for
given thee: or to say Arise, and take
up thy bed, and walk?
TO- But that We may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, Che saith to the sick of

never saw it ON this fashion.

THE OPPOSING ALLIANCES,

Dat doubt was dispelled by England
taking action. ,.,;a,,
The articles of agreement on wing"
rest both the Triple Alliance ana the
Triple Entente lay great stress on
the assertion they are for deiense
only. For instance, Germany Is
nledged to assist Austria-Hungary
aaainst Russia, only in the evea that
Russia is the aggressor. England Is
undcr obligation to help France
AGAINST Germany only when Germany
started the trouble.
That is the explanation OF the ap-
rarent anxiety of each OF the war
ring nations to pass the buck and
oct ont from uader the onus OF be-
ginning the war. The kaiser declar-
cd that Germany was forced into the
war by the agressions of France and
Russia. France On the other mead
strenuously asserted that the Ger
mans were responsible. If Germany
could have made it appear that
France and Russia were acting on
the offensive. there was hope that
England might hold that the Triple
entente had not been violated &C
cordingly have remained neutral.
For this reason also, both France
and Germany committed acts of war
before declaring war. German and
French troops were rushed to the
frontier and in some Instances cross
ed it before the formal declaration
came. The same is true of Russia. Each
nation strove vigorously to provoke
the others to declare war first, so
that the technical responsibility
might rest upon them. But finally
the kaiser's patience was tried to its
limit and Germany declared war on
France and Russia. Both those ma
tons reciproated Immediately. With
Germany apparently the aggressor,
England had no recourse but to get
into the war or repudiate the Triple
Entente

Murder Of .Jaures.

1t was presumably the act of a
mailman which robbed the republic
of one of it's most remarkable talents.
Jaures was generally regarded as the
finest speaker in France. His orations
in the chamber were events. He had
the port, the voice, the gesture to
make his great flow of soul take on
the appearance of classic eloquence.
Not since Berryer Or Gambetta had a
Frenchman risen to fill the popular
conception of great public orator as
did Jaures. In addition. he was an
indefatigable organizer. an editor fill
ed with the enthusiasm OF his propa-
ganda which, in later years, took on
international proportions. Whatever
his mistakes and weaknesses, he was
one of the intellectual forces of mod
ern France, and to have the thin
spun thread of his life split in this
abhorrent way is tragedy of which
the sadness extends beyond the
bounds OF his own country.

cor yinced is the right road to pros
perily, and which has been advocated
by all authorities and experts for
years.
&The plan is to secure the co-opera-
tiAa of the United States treasury de-
nartment in making available for the
use of member banks in the new fed
eral reserve system any part OF the
sum of $500, 100000, under the follow
ing conditions:

have the right to go to bank on or
after November l and arrange to Dor
row at the rate OF 10 cents per pound
on one-half of the cotton which he
raised on his farm, the valuation to
be based on middling cotton; the loan
to be made for period of six months
with privilege of renewal for six
months additional; the cotton to be
stored and insured in manner meet
ing with the approval of the bank;
the bank to have the right to re-dis-
count the note in reserve bank; and
the note given to contain the stipula-
tioa that the farmer making the note

half the acreage which he planted

ance in corn, or other grain Or for
age, the farmers note to mature at
any time within the second six
months and become payable at the
option of the bank if it is found that
the farmer has not complied with the
stipulations of his agreement.
In case the war in Europe con-
tinued until the first of April next
year, the farmer would agree tc
plant not exceeding one-fourth of his
land in cotton. and the balance i:
grain, unless general release Wa,
given from the agreement by thu
treasury department, or the direc
tors of the central reserve bank.
In advocacy of his plan, Mr.. McRa,
says:
THE effect of this agreement would
be the certainty that every bale W
to one-half of the present crop woult
sell at 10 cents per pound or better
because, the American mills coult
spin that amount: also, that the othe
one-half of this crop, which in an,
