LOOKING AHEAD.

Francis B. Sayre condemned di- vorce in a New York interview.
 "We should select our wives with prudence" said MT Sayre, having a proper regard for the the pema- nent character of marriage. We should look far ahead. We should foresee."
 He laughed, and added:
 "Yes, look ahead, foresee-that's 2 the idea-like the private in the shoeless regiment.

JOKE ON FELLOW TOWkSMEN
Atsr This, MT Tompkins Probably Was No Longer Allowed to Act
 ss the Town Clock.

In certain suburb there is & road called Laurel Grove. Every house in it IS occupied by gentlemen who earn their daily bread in the city one way or another.
 At the extreme end, and furthest from the station, lived Mir. Tomp- hnS, . methodicsl person, who eaught the same train up every morning and who left the house each day al exactly the same minute.
 So regular was he n thi, respect hat the other toilcrs in Laurel Grove were wont to leave for the statlon ss he passed their doors.
 One morning last week he passed down the road, and though he was blt late, so established was his repu- tstion, that the other inhabitants of the Grove simply thought their watches were fast.

WHY HE WANTED TO KNOW

 That Was Coming.

When "Monte Crfsto' was first produced at the Adelpha theater, London. many years ago, il did not appear in the abbreviated form that playgoers have since become used to.
 It IS said that, as originally shown, it took three nights to give. Natu- rally, pruning and eondensin8 were very much in order. But even at that, on occasion of which reference Is about to be made, the perform ance was scarcely half over as the bells tolIed the hour of midnight. The late George Belmore was playing Caderousse and the audience was in a supersomnolcnt state when he came III and said

been sadly shaken by German thrift
and enterprise. Because they have
been, undersold, because the quality
of their goods has been surpassed
by German manufacturers, because
their proud boast to rule the seas
and collect profits from all nations
has been successfully challenged by
Germany, Great Britain is filled with
bitterest resentment.
Jealousy of a commercial rival is
at the bottom of England's policy.
Out of this motive springs her un-
holy alliance with her ancient
enemies, the liberty-hating Mus
covite and the Gaul.
"These are the real reasons which
have led to the war.
"They say-they are the London
correspondents who are furnishing
practically all the news that is to
be had at the present-they say that
the Kaiser was the aggressor. Time
will show that these statements are
lies, invented to ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathy of the world from the German
cause.
For 25 years every utterance and
every action of the Kaiser has been
carefully calculated to promote and
to maintain peace with all the world.
"But the Kaiser knew with whom
he had to deal in the present crisis.
And when Russia continued to
mobilize, when French airships
crossed Belgium and Luxembourg
into German territory, when bombs
were dropped into German cities,
while the Gar and the French min
istry were protesting that they de-
sired peace, the Kaiser would have
been a fool and recreant to his duty
had he not struck when he did.
ut was the intention of Russia
and France to delay action until
their notifications were completed.
1t would have been national suicide
for Germany to let this scheme sue
ceed.
THE issue is Joined. The struggle
has begun. What its end will be no
man can say. If Germany and
Austria Hungary should be defeated,
they still will have the supreme
satisfaction of having battled with
heroic sacrifice in a righteous cause,
while to France and to England will
accrue the eternal sorrow and shame
of having helped to assure the
supremacy of the Tartar, who is a
greater peril to them than the yell
low Man of the Orient.
at would be a doubtful glory to
have intrenched the Cossack with his
knout upon the ruins OF Europe's
fairest civilization"
Scranton Wochenblatt. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1865-1918, 1914-09-03

THE question civilized nations
should ask themselves is this: Shall
Europe be Russianized? Shall the
knout and the pogrom become in
stitutions in civilized EuropeH.
America should lift her voice in
warning to England: Fools, if you
help to wipe out Germany, you will
have to fight Russia yourself, in Asia
and in Europe. before a generation
is passed!
Germany is fighting your Their
mopylae!
There are three principal causes
of the terrible war that is raging
first, Russian ambition; second,
French lust of vengeance; third,
British resentment at losing world
markets.
Ever since the days of Peter tire
Great, Russia has been eager to get
its clutches upon Constantinople.
When it found its way to the direct
achievement of this purpose blocked
by England, a roundabout way was
devised
"The Slavic populations of the
Balkans were melted to instructions
against Turkey, many of which have
succeeded, and have dismembered
the Ottoman empire. Russia knows
that whatever parts Cs Turkey are
acquired by Servia and other petty
Balkan states virtually belong to
Russia, because Russian money
keeps all these states afloat. Their
kings are office boys of the Gar.
"In recent times the rise of
Austro- Hungarian supremacy has
interfered with this Russian plan.
Therefore, conspiracies and insurrec-
tions against Austria have been
fomented. We have seen the fruits
of this policy in the assassination of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his
wife at Sarajevo.
Austria felt that the time had
come to put an end to this bloody
diplomacy. Then Russia showed
herself determined to protect the
murderous Servians at all hazards.
Thus the war was precipitated.
When the history of its origin Is
written, Civilization will point its
accusing finger at the Gar. and will
say, Thou art the man!
But France-France still smarts
under the recollection of its defeat
in 1901. France wants to get back
Alsace-Lorraine, which Germany re-
covered after the last war. Alsace
and Lorraine have always properly
been German territory, and were
perhdiously wrested from Germany
by France over 200 years ago.
That is why France has formed its
alliance with Russia. That a nation
which has so frantically extolled
liberty and humanity should league
itself with one of the most brutal
of despotisms, for the sake of glut-
ting its revenge, is one of the ironies
of history.
However, there is also a COM
mercial aspect to the situation. In
recent times practically every Rus
sian loan has been floated in Paris,
and so, in large measure. France is
going to war to protect the interests
of her big bankers.
"As for England-during the last
forty years England's unquestioned
control of the worlds markets has

under Spanish instigation and by
izing revolutionary societies in those
American states, like Arizona and :
New Mexico, where there was a
large and unstable Spanish popuia-
ton. Now, suppose the Vice Pres
ident of the United States, travelling
with his wife through Arizona, were
assassinated by a Mexican and the
crime directly traced to the Mexican
capital. Would not the United States
be perfectly justih, I'd in any steps
would not national honor and justice
demand-that full reparation be ex-
acted from Mexico, and that
American officials be permitted to
investigate and discover the real in
stigators of the crime1 If Spain, as
Russia has done, showed itself will
ling and ready to plunge the world
into war, in order to forestall such
investigation, would not the COM
mon sense of mankind assume that
Spain was afraid her own guilt or
completely in the crime would be un-
covered?
| have endeavored to give you a
fair parallel for the situation as 1t
derstood, definitely and clearly, that
the Gar. the despotic ruler of be-
nighted millions, is the man who has
precipitated the European war. He
could have averted It. but chose
rather to rush to the defense of the
murderers who, there is every reason
to believe, were instigated by Rus
sian intrigue and subsidized by Rus
sian rubles. Even London's special
cable" represented the Kaiser "al-
most going down upon his knees to
induce Russia to desist from mobil-
ization". Almost going down upon
your knees is not war-like act, and
the Gar who would precipitate such
war when two of his royal cousins
were using all honorable means to
deter him is either an inhuman
monster or is playing for tremen-
dous stake.
Commercial rivalry, in which Ger
many has been very successful, has
embittered feeling in Great Britain
toward the Germans. The British
jingoes have used this sentiment for
years to stir up war between Eng
land and Germany. The Kaiser has
for 25 years been the guardian of
Europe's peace. Everyone expected,
when he came to the throne, that he
would speedily plunge his empire
into war. Instead of so doing he has
led it in campaign of pacific ex-
pansion without parallel in modern
history. Why should he now be
maligned, why should Germany be
made the target of Misrepresentation
and contempt, because he is support
ing an ally in Just cause? Why
should the sympathies of the Anglo
Saxon world be diverted to Russia,
which stands for everything react
ionary and brutal which exiles and
massacres its most intelligent cit
izens, which still keeps alive in the
diplomacy of the world the poison
and-dagger policy of Machiavelli, in
stead of being accorded to the en-
lightened and constitutional mon
arches of the German race? OF
France / will not speak. The natural
sympathies of that noble nation
should be with the liberty-loving
Germans rather than with the en-
slaved Muscovites, but the French
are blinded by the memories of their
unfortunate struggle in 1871.

The causes which led to the
