The Forlorn Peace Palace

There is naturally an aspect of for
lorness about that palace at The
Hague, the dream of world peace dis
pelled-or at least delayed.
However, nations will continue to
dream of it, and the war now going
forward will do much to realize it.
AS in the case of Mexico, the advo-
Gates of peace will accomplish their
ends. 1t is one of the slow reforms of
Time, but it is coming, for all that. So.

perhaps, but surely so eventually.
So the world takes heart and hope

and hatreds shall cease or lend them
selves most willingly to peaceful ad-
justment. The Constitution.

War Still in First Stage
New York Tribune.l

Those who have been lmpatiently
awaiting news of gerat battle over
look the fact that the mobilization of
big armies takes time and that Ger
many, in order to begin an invasion of
France, has had to push to the front
from 100000 to 100000 men. The civ
ilized world has never yet seen SO
large force assembled and operated
in single theatre of war. To get it
ready for concentrated action in less
than two weeks would be something
approaching the miraculous in military
dexterity.
Moltke was one of the greatest or
ganizers of modern times. He was the
father of the modern general staff sys-
TEN, with its programs of mobilization
and attack prepared long in adavnce.
His success in mobilifiing the Prussian
army in 1870 and in getting quick mil
itary results out of his prearranged
strategy was phenomenal Yet it took
him 10 days to bring the Prussian and
South German tr0, ps to the front If;
sufficient strength to make operations
against the French practicable.

"Down in the Mouth"

We saw a playcard yesterday which
read: THE dentist is the only man
who has right to look down in the
mouth" That is good. In these times
of war talk lets follow this good ad-
wise. Look up, not down. Keep your
eyes to the stars, not on the ground
Any sort of man can be a pessimis.,
but it takes courage to be an optimist
all the time. What is the use to get
blue and downcast. All should remem-
Der that beyond the clouds the sun is
shining" And it will shine on all
when the war troubles are blown away
Better prices will then prevail for all
of our products. Europe will need
cotton to make the clothes to take the
place of those that will be worn out
in the rough marching and counter
marching of the soldiers. Lets ell
look on the bright side and bide .

down in the mouth will do no good.

Worth Knowing.

Z Every person when he takes up his
cards at game of whist holds one out
of 635,013,559,600 possible-hands. AS
for the total number of variations
possible among all players, it is so
enormous as almost to exceed belief.
Mr. Babbage calculated that if 1,000,.
600 men were to be engaged dealing
cards at the rate of one deal every
minute, day and night, for 10O,O00,000
years, they would not have exhausted
all the possible variations of the cards,
but only one one hundred thousandth
part of them.

will grow up all the happier man if
he gets the rule of frugality into his

ut may be. that these times of war
abroad will do us good as a nation, if
they induce us to be more frugal in

Without doubt there are many young
people in the United States, many
young people in Georgia-people from
ten to sixty years of age-who need to
learn how to spend more carefully.

ECONOMY

1T is as natural for a woman to buy
as it is for a man to sell" This is
what Harold MacGrath says in The
Million Dollar Mystery"
Although women have been known
, to trample each other under foot, at d
{ srgain counter, they are not alone
in being victims of the BUY-BUG.
Some men who have never produced
anything to sell, have never sold any
thing, and never will produce or sell
anything, have their purchase bump
well developed,
Misery boarding of ones means is
not commendable. Being careful OF
ones expenditures, especially at such
a time as this, is entirely right and
proper
1t is said that Oliver Goldsmith's
father taught his children how to
spend a hundred pounds, before they
had learned how to earn a penny.
The squandering of ones posses
eions, be they small or great, is ex-
tremely folish. No man is independent
whose outgo exceeds his income
Says j.. Hayne, in the New York
Evening Mail:
The very profusion of our new con-
tinent has made it almost impossible
for the American people to learn fru-
gality. Riches have sprung out of the
ground. All metals and minerals, all
harvests, all the development of free
manufacture have combined to stimu-
late proffigacy. Few, indeed, are the
young people of this republic who are
so frugal as they should be. The very
affeotionate atmosphere of the Ameri-
can home life is indulgent to the chill
dren.

often misunderstood 1t is easy &c

Old in Years and Sorrot0

Among the figures that loom gigantic
through the battle smoke of this titanic
war, Francis Joseph, emperor of Aus
tria, is the most pathetic. He is old In
years, old in war, old in his sorrow.
He will be "a years old, having been
born in Berlin in 1880. That is a long
life-path for man to travel in peace
and serenity; how much longer it must
seem to one who has carried the pack
of adversely and eaten of the bread of
bitterness.
He is the Oldest living mbonarch in
the world, having assembled the throne
in 1S4S, before many of the other royal
participants in this war were born. His
great age and his long reign should
have made him the most courteously
treated monarch in Europe, a nestor
in international affairs, a referee in
across-boundary disputes. Wisdom
should have come from experience, and
a softening quality from his sorrows
that would have made him the ide u
arbiter.
For not only have war losses ari
state affairs often filled him with sad
ness, but tragedy has marked him for
her own in his family life. First, whea
he was still young, came the shootils
of his brother, Maximillian, made en-
peror of Mexico by the French, who
had interfered in that country. The
story of the young emperors death
shocked all Europe, but touched his
brother Francis Joseph to the heart.
Francis Joseph had married Princess
Elizabeth Amalie Eugene, cousin to the
king of Bavaria, and the second great
tragedy came when their Son, Crown
Prince Rudolph, was mysterious!y
slain while visiting at Myerling. The
sorrow of it bowed the emperor to the
dust.
And yet fate had not dealt its worst
blow, for ten years ago, during the Gel
etration of their golden wedding
Jubilee, his wife, an old woman--too
old to he the object of hatred-was as
sassinated.
After those sorrowful days the aged
