Speaking further Mr.. Kreil said.
The whole Of Europe, not only Gel
many. as the English press woul dhave us
believe, has been suffering for many
years from militarism, ana the armo-

war was not only inevtao'e but almost
necessary, in order to clear the atmos-
phere and TO prepare the way tor a
lasting peace.
France has made the idea of re-
lenge its national fetish since 1870, and
its unnatural friendship with Russia
has had only one object namely. To
get even with Germany. France has
spent as much money as Germany TO
Set its army and navy ready and il
has loaned several thousand million
dollars to Russia TO build up the Rus

MODERN WAR.

The popular conception of war sees
a battle as a line of men with colors
flying and cheering officers, led for
ward in dress parade against
similarly arranged foe. Over on some
Hill is the general watching the bat
tie with field glasses, and sending
dispatches by mounted aides on froth-
ing horses.
Modern war has made such meth
DDS as obsolete as the Roman galley
Battle flags are a means of attracting
the enemy's fire. The general sits
in some quiet office or field station
miles from the front, and talks with
his officers by telephone or wireless.
War has become business and in
dustrial proposition. The slightest
failure in detail may wreck a cam
paign. Sore feet due to imperfectly
stretched shoes may cost "a battle
quite as much as defective rifles.
In the Balkan war the Montene-
grins illustrated the failure of old
style warfare. The picturesque
mountaineers were called the best
fighters in Europe. They disdained
to carry entrenching tools. So it cost
them three times as many men and
four times as much time to capture
Scutari as would have been taken by
scientific fighters with the spade.
There is no place in modern war;
fare for the individual hero. He would
interfere with discipline. Everyone
has to be :, hero. That involves an
efficient commissariat Good fighting
is never done by hungry men
I Sill, the human element can never
be systematized out of war. BY in
cessant target practice the marksman
! learns to shoot straight, which was
the reason why the United States beat
Spain in 1895 so readily. The Other
human element of enthusiasm is
partly matter OF national temper.
ment. partly sense of the justice o
! the cause. Such are the great factors
IN this war of the gods on the from

It was not theft. 1t was not even

! None of the names applied to the vul-
gar annexation of the money of other
people suit it.
I Because of similarity of motive be-
hind the appropriation of the funds, 1t
might be called high financiering.
The little girl was in her small way
a social leader. She needed the
money to repay social obligations or
to acquire social prestige. She had
to have the money to obtain her posi-
ton in society. She couldn't loot the
New Haven railroad. She was unable
to organize big steel trust. 1t was
impossible for her to elect bunch
of United States senators to watch
over her interests in Washington.
she did not have the capital to en-
ploy the best legal talent in Ameri-
ca to find loophole in the laws af-
fecting monopoly.
So she plundered poorbox in a
church. Do not smile cynically at
her. poor child, for she only followed
the example set for her by so many
other social aspirants. She robbed me
poor to get into society. She tried to
day the foundation for one of our
first families She made the all too
common mistake of trying to take
short cut to aristocracy Poor little
girl! She took dollar from the
nameless poor, but she took it because
she nted to be a social leader. Ii
she had stolen millions from the
same nameless poor for the same pur-
pose, getting caught would not have
mattered and men would have hailed
her as a thoroughbred They would
have hunted up for her a pedigree
and her children would have been
members of one of our oldes;
families.

FOOLISH TRADING.

As producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
civilization and we are present-day
marvel in business efficiency, but IN
dealing with foreign countries we are
a sorry lot of traders. Ever since
VIM Penn traded the Indians hand
full of trinkets for what is now the
state of Pennsylvania, the American
people have be en- selling their BIRTH
right to foreigners for a mess Of pot
tage, so to speak.
We export over $50,000,O00 of cat
tie and their products per annum,
which feeds the nations of Europe,
and our American heiresses spend a
similar sum in buying and maintain
ing counts, dukes and titled peerages.
These foreign noblemen are, as a rule
absolutely worthless fact become
perpetual liabilityAfor' it costs
more money to operate and keep
them in repair than il does to run our
cotton mills. European royalty puts
the black sheep Of it's families on the
block and our rich American girls
buy them and we virtually exchange
railroads, wheat fields and millions
of dollars worth Of products of farm
mine and factory for titled paupers
who could not be resold for any sum.
1t docs not require foreign trearles, d
fleet Of war vessels or tariff revision
to stop this enormous loss. 1t needs
only common sense in the homes OF
the rich.
We export $1S,OOO,O0O OF lumber
and timber, and American tourists
spend similar amount in motoring
over Europe and sightseeing in fore
ign lands although the most en-
chanting scenes Of the world are on
the American continent.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
NEEDING AND WANTING.

"No man ever sunk under the
burden of the day. 1t is when to-
morrow's burden is added to the
burden of today that the burden
is more than a man can bear"
George Macdonald.
The difference in the meaning of.
the two words needing" and want
ing" is we'll illustrated by the dis
astrous experience of young Chicago
couple who got into trouble with the
federal. authorities because of the
husbands efforts to to counterfeit ten
dollar gold certificates.
From her prison cell, the young
bride said to the reporters:
"I'm here because thought | could
not live on 500 month. l had been
used to fine things, and when my hus-
band couldn't give them to me l am
afraid | showed my NEED for them.
Now | know better. l would live
with my husband and be happy if we
had only $25 a month. Oh, if | only
had it to do over again! He did it all
to please me. | wanted to wear nice
clothes. / wanted things too comfort
able. What a fool I've been. I'm to
blame"
This unfortunate young woman used
the word need" whereas she really
meant that she wanted the things that
her husband committed crime to get
for her.
The baby cries, Il want it, | want
it," but the person of maturer judg-
ment has learned to distinguish be-
tween genuine needs and mere wants,
even amid the many temptations OF
modern city life where certain CLAM

who can ill afford to follow in the

| Consider for a moment the eXtrav-
agances of the so-called middle" and
upper" classes. Theaters, cafes
and amuscments of all kinds welcome
the dweller in the city with open

ulous rentals house him while he sup
ports or helps to support retinue

rides where once he walked-and the
modern taXicab is more costly luxury

In the larger cities the public's in
sistence upon the services OF an
agency to which it pays twenty-five
per cent commissions for providing
theater tickets adds greatly to the
cost of theater attendance. Added to
this is the "after-theater supper,
which in many communities is consid-
cred as one feature of the theater
party.

And when the sabbath was past

2. And very early in the morning

3. And they said among them
selves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4. And when they looked, they saw
that the stone was rolled away: for
it was very great.
5. And entering into the sepulchre.
they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, clothed in a long white
garment; and they were affrighted.
6. And he saith unto them, Be not
affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Naza-
reth, which was crucified: he Is ris-
en- he is not here: behold the place
where they laid him.
7. But go your way, tell his dis
ciples and Peter that he goeth before
you into Galilee: there shall ye see
him, as said unto you.
s. And they went out quickly, and
fled from the sepulchre: for they
trembled and were amazed: neither
said they any thing to any man; for
they were afraid.
