Mr.. Morgan draws q picture today OF
the opening of the last great general
war In Europe before the war of 1914
when Napoleon hAstened back from
Russia and created q new army on the
ruins of the grand army to repel the
avenEing CEar and the still pursuing
COssaclZs.
Russia, Prussia, and England then
were in u triple alliance AGAINST
France, which was virtually disarmea
until, In n few wonder-wOrSing weeks
Napoleon had organized nnStner
mighty army.

The New Army.

But in the face Of all dificslties, Ma
poIeon had an army OF more than 10000
soldiers in Germany, with 600 cannon,
when he left Paris for the front at l
o'clock of an April morning after invest
ing the Empress with the regency and
bidding good-by to the little King of
Rome, who Ia vain had been lisping the
prayer for peace which his governess
taught him.
In less than four months since his re-
turn from Russia he had built up q new

back from Russia. Since the moment he
awoke In Paris the morning after his
return from the disastrous campaign, his
herculean energies had been bent to the
creation OF an army as great as the one
he lost in the Russian maelstrom. No
other weeks in the wonderful record OF
his life are more crowded with marvels.
When the year 1913 opened France was
q nation dtsarmed and worse than that,
for her best fighting men and her war
material were either buried under the
Russian SHOWS or were hotly enlisted in
the Spanish campaign against the allied
Spaniards and English under yelling
ton. Two decades or warfare had drained
the country Of its military resources and
left il in a state OF exhaustion which is
tional birth rate.
The land had been combed again and
again, ana now It must be combed with
fine teeth. The sons OF the well-to-do
who had been avoiding service by pay
ing from $500 to 5000 for substitutes
were raked in along with those who had
drawn lucky numbers in the yearly draft.
For three years the annual CONSUMPTION
had been anticipated to meet the de-
mands Of the Spanish, wagram and
Russian campaigns, and the youth Of the
nation had been called to the colors
year in advance of the normal time. Now
another forced loan must be extorted
from the future, and the conscripts OF
1914 were snatched from their mothers in
the beginning of 1913. They took to the
woods by the thousands, but were hunt
ed down and dragged to the standards.
Others, however, made good their escape
by manning and incapacitating them
selves.
The adult male population Of the coun-
try had been winnowed so often that
hardly anything remained but the chaff
The physical standards OF recruiting were
lowered to catch all who were strong
enough to walk and big enough to carry
a musket. Many of the recruits were so
small or young that Savary, the minister
Of police, objected to tneIr drilling before
the jeering crowds Of cynical Paris.
The equine race had suffered with the
human from the desolation Of the wars
The country was without horses old and
strong enough to draw the artillery. and
that branch was seriously crippled by
animals too young and small for the
load. Prices had risen as high as SIS for
cavalry, sos for dragon, and $40 for
cuirassier horses.

Secretary Bryan is another who is strong in his
opinion that preparedness for is not at all guar
antee of peace
IF " he says, preparedness prevented war, there
would be no war in Europe Preparedness, almost
with absolute certainty will lead you into war, be-
cause you cannot prepare for war unless you are
either afraid of somebody or hate somebody"
Maybe Bryan is right, but let us consider the fol-
lowing, which appear to be facts: The foreign
ton best prepared for war; indeed the that made
preparation for war her main business was Ger
many Will Mr. Bryan dispute this? For A years
Germany has had peace Mr.. Bryan cannot dispute
this.
What about the other foreign nations, those not so
well prepared for war, those more largely relying
for peace their own goodness, kindness and virtue
as it were? Every one of them has had one or more
wars within the A years. Mr.. Bryan will hardly
dispute this part of established history nor can he
point to A years of continuous peace enjoyed by
Uncle Sam in all his Indeed, in period only
little over A years-1846 to 1898-Uncle Sam en-
gagged in no less than three wars and he not espe
cially prepared for in any instance.
1t is pretty brave and virtuous in our esteemed
secretary of state not to be either afraid of some
body or hate somebody" IF all nations were as good
kind and virtuous Mr.. Bryan, war might be abol-
ished by proclamation and we could all leave our
money and goods out on the front lawn at night con-
fdent that nobody needed them or had the DISPOSE
ton to take them. Unfortunately, Utopia "hant
come" as Josh Billings said of the millennium.
The majority of the nations and fair crowd of the
powerful individuals are still very aggressive and
very greedy. We vast Africa looted and most Of
Asia trembling under the glare of wolfsh eyes, May

Monroe doctrine alone will not save the western
continents from the looters and cut Threats.

The Crime of Crimes

of any man having to go to Jail. But there one
two points about the case of that Cleveland school
superintendent, Frederick, whom the Ohio supreme
court has said must his sentence which temper

Frederick, backed by bone-head board for years
has fought to hold his teaching body under wise like
discipline He fought the teachers right to have
say in the business side of their work. They to
do as they were told to take what they were given
and be grateful.
When they formed union to give strength in
battle they couldn't win separately, he deliberately
broke the law by marking the leaders for Dismissal

best teachers on the staff
Not only SO; but after judge, by Injunction has

he Is CARRIED in white. And whether
his lady mother has made his gar
ments with her own hands or left that
pleasant task to those who make a
business of 1t, he looks like all his
mates In the democracy Of boyhood.
The little boy must be clothed in the
summertime In washable fabrics. The
difficult feat Of teaching him to keep
clean Is part OF his education, ex-
actly as essential az teaching him to
read For daily wear he romps in
blouses and short pants made In wash
able colored fabrics. such as ging-
ham, linens. crash, madras and ether
strong weaves. Heavy linens and
piQues and certain specially woven cot
ton fabrics in white are required for
his dress occasions.
These fabrics are so inexpensive
and the little suits are SO easily made
that it is no great task to make up his
short-lived summer wardrobe. But
manufacturers turn out quantities OF
clothes for children, well designed
and well made, at cost Of production
so low that 1t is hardly worth while
to make them ct bone.
