cial nation in the course of a few
years?
How could Germany want war,
with everything coming to her, with
everything to lose and nothing to gain
that could not be gained by her nat
ural genius and energy?
What is true Of Germany is true,
in my opinion, of the other nations.
ENGLAND did not want war. France,
Russia and Austria did not want war.
War Hurried by Fate.
Each of these nations is ruled by
intelligent men. Each knew by eX-
perience that enterprise and peace and
justice could accomplish every pos
sible result.
But the war came, hurried on by
fate, perhaps by long standing arma-
ments, forced upon the world by pow
eTs and agencies that only the hiStOri-
ans will a~nalyze and describe.
War is with us, that is the great
and terrible fact.
"AmeriCans have been treated we'll,
whether in Germany. where we had
actual experience, or in other coun-
tries. Friends of ours have brought
us on the ships reports Of kindness
and law-abiding citizenship.
The duty of the American, bitterly
regretting the war and earnestly wish
Ing lIldI we llllSIlI lCNSI nave SStI the
prosperity that it is to force upon us,
is to understand it and to plan to do
all that is possible now and in the sad
future before the European nations to
alleviate suffering and repair destruc-
ton.
Germany Back Fifty Years.
1T is impossible to overestImate the
dreadful disaster that hiss fallen upon
the civilized world-upOn the whole of
that world practically excepting this
m~agnifcently protected and fortunate
country.
Remember, that if the war should
end tomorrow, the destruction already
accomplished could not be made good
in ten years.
Part of that destruction will never
be made good.
"To say that Germany will be set
back fifty years is putting it mildly.
And the Germans know this, as with
patriotic determination and resigna-
ton they march to the defense of their
fatherland.
$50 it may and must be said Of all
other countries.
"They face horrible disaster courag-
eously and calmly.
And they have shown, as my own
slight experience demonstrated. Won

and power.

States. Honor and interest alike de-
mand rigidly strict, honest and fair
neutrality"
There are obvious reasons why the
people Of the United States-who, in
a sense, are the people of all the world
in point Of inherent sympathies and
traits-should steer a straight course
as long as the European c~on1agration
continues.
Yet it should be made plain that the
polite consideration Of manv states
men and publicists who have spoken
on the subject, and which places spe-
cial stress upo the desirabliity Of this
nation being kept free from possible
participation in the war. is the lesser
reason underlying Americas duty to
be neutral.
Whatever the relative responsibility
Of European governments may have
been in preCipitating the deadliest
blow that has been struck at civiliza-
ton since governments were establish
ed, the fact remains that the millions
Of humble people throughout the
whole Of Europe who rely upon
stronger and wiser men to lead them
are being required to make a CHASTITY
sacrifice, because of their faith In the
goodness and wisdom Of their govern
ments. Vast numbers Of homes are
being destroyed, in the sense that the
fttost bread winners are being made
material for the experiments Of mod
ern guns.
1t is base for the people OF the Unit
ed States to consider whether they
have anything to fear or not. Fear Is
not the emotion which should be
quickened now, but an all-embracing
pity for those who have been called
upon needlessly to suffer.

1t would take a Sampson to knock
Judging from the strength of the
breath.
The way some fellows talk about
the war one would think that they had
wireless connections with the COM
mander of each army.
The breath Of scandal often breeds
the tornado.
It is usually easy to make friends
the trouble is to keep them.
About the only thing a fellow can
get free nowadays is adVice-and that
is often expensive at the price.
A poor skate don't cut much ice.
A severe grind will often improve a

A person don't have to be an ath-

1t may be all right for q fellow to

better to be q little careful about
stars.
About the only pants that seem to
fit women perfectly are breeches Of
promise.
1t is hard to make a hanger-on real

Some fellows don't need a bushel to
hide their lights under-a thimble
would often do.
Court briefs usually belle their
name.
There does not seem to be any pro-
vision against hunting bores in the
North Dakota game laws.

ENGLISH FLEET AT SEA.
What Would Nelson Say if He Could
See tho Modern Maneuvers?

Kansas City Star: What the old
mariners of England would have
said that they stood with the king
on his royal throne yacht a week
ago gives much room for imagination.
Twenty-Five miles of fighting ships
and sixteen seaplanes rising from
the water and gyrating in spirals
would have surely caused much uneas-
mess and perhaps some little talk Of
WitchCraft among the sailors now three
centuries dead-sailors who did not
know destruction at ffteen-mile ranges,
but who used to lay ships alongside
each other and settle battles hand-to-
hand, after the fashion of men.
But here, passing the king in swift
review, came -four of the latest type of
battle cruisers, in single file, followed
by a double line Of battleships; then,
following the flagship, came the four
first-fleet squadrons with twenty mine
dreadnOughts, followed by the smart
lighter cruisers Of the ~1otilIa, and in
their wake fifty-six destroyers, in Sec
tons Of ours. Then came the battle
~squadrOns, cruisers and auxiliaries of
the second and third fleets, taking an
hour and a half to pass the kings
yacht at eleven knots an hour.
In the midst of the procession the
big surprise burst out. In to
signal. the first of the seaplanes rose
to a height of 1900 feet, and others
followed rapidly, until more than a
dozen were in the air above the fleet,
m~aneuvering widely, and sweeping
about in great circuits. A number OF
naval ~aeroplanes followed, the varl-
our air crafts making flights approx
mating fifty miles.
One, at a height of 1000 feet, fell
back while the companion craft passed
on, and 1t then descended in a series
Of very steep spirals, dropping a kind
Of smoky projeCtile to demonstrate the
efficiency of the planes in action. The
whole troop Of flying machines then
swept back at an average speed Of
eighty miles an hour down wind, while
the procession Of iron leViathans be-
low returned to port at eleven knots
an hour.
The fleet which passed in review be-
for the king is the greatest and most
powerful fleet ver gathered together
in English waters the fleet upon
which will fall the brunt Of the first
naval conflict as we'll as the defense OF
English coasts and cOmerce.

GROUNDS FOR NEUTRALITY.

There is a point worth considering
in the remarks of Sen. Henry Cabot
Lodge. who was interviewed i'll Lon
don Saturday.
What we should remember above
all" declared the senator, 'is that we
have a national duty to perform. That
duty is the observance Of strict neu-
trality as between the belligerents,
with all of whom we are at peace. But
strict neutrality is not enough. 1t must
be also honest neutrality, as honest
as it is rigid. Neutrality, while pre-
serving the name. can often be so
managed as to benefit one belligerent
and injure another. 1t is possible to
relax the strictness Of neutrality at
one point and tighten it at another. so
as to help one belligerent md injure
another.

kbis kind IN the part Of the United

THE WAR--WHAT IT MEANS
TO EUROPE AND THE WORLD

From Chicago Paper: Maurice l..
ROthschild, one of the best known and
ablest business men of Chicago, re-
turned from Europe and talked yester-
day with the editor of the newspaper.
Mr.. Rothschild. on arriving in
Europe shortly before the war broke
out, went by motor with his wife from
Hamburg to Berlin. He was there
when war was declared, and when for
eigners were instructed to leave-for
their own Professionalism Wenty
four hours.
Mr.. Rothschild's talk sheds light
upon the question that will interest the
historians Of his century.
1t is especially important. emphasize
ing as it does the regret of the whole
world that the war should have come.
And the wonderful possibilities and
opportunities that if offers to energy
and ability in the United States.
We give Mr.. RothsChild's words as
nearly as possible verbatim. He was
.aVerse to making any public utterancc,
but consented to do so for the enlight-
eminent Of his fellow citizens. Imme-
diately upon his return and before his
was seen at the RitZ-CarltOn, in New
York City, Mr.. Rothschild had heId
various conferences with important
business men in the lower part of the
city.
Neutrality First of All.
He said:
This is a time for men to be busy
and do as little talking as possible.
However, there is interest, of
course, in the experiences and opinions
Of those who have returned from the
chaos of war to the wonderful secur-
ity, peace and opportunity Of the
United States.
My first desire, and I take it, the
desire Of every good citizen, is to be,
above all things, absolutely neutral.
The American citizen has no right
to take any part, to favor any side,
or to hope for m against the other.
AS a mater Of fact, there is no
justice, with the present information
we have, in blaming anybody.
TT is a fact. in my earnest opin-
ion, that not one single nation wanted
war.
Germany, I am sure, did not want
war.
How could she want it, with her
commanding position, her marvellous
achievements, her development from
a farming country to a great leading
manufacturing, scientific and finan-

Possible German Move.

Louisville Courier Journal: If
Japan enters the fight as an ally Of
England, may not Germany turn to
the Mohammedans of North Afriia,
the near east and the middle east as
friends?
The emperor of Germany has twice
visited Constantinople in the interest
of improved relations between Turkey
and Germany. He adopted a friendly
attitude toward the Sultan Of Morocco
in his troubles with the French when,
less than ten years ago, he visited
Tangier. The way has been paved
thoughtfully. for a German-Moslem
alliance affecting the Mohammedans
occupying a large part OF Great Brit
aims Asiatic possessions. as well as
the Turks, who are an Independent
people; the Egyptians, who are chat
ing under English authority; the in
habitants of recently annexed Tripoli,
who resent the rule of Italy, and the
Moroccans, who are FESTIVE under
French domination.
