Never before has there been
brought home so forcibly to US as a
nation our dependence on others for
the very necessities of life and trade.
Made in Germany is more than an
empty slogan. We cannot step into
a store without paying tribute to that
label. Goods, especially in the drug
line, bearing the German imprint are
soaring and will continue to soar.
D~yestuffs are at a premium and
mills may have to close down until
either a supply is found elsewhere
or the embargo is lifted on the COM

But this situation should bring
home to the United States the neces-
sity Of supplying its own wants. Ne

invention and doubtless will prove so
in this exigency.

WAR!

What is the net purpose and upshot
Of war? To my own knowledge, for
example, there dwell and toll, in the
British village Of Drumdrudge, usual
ly some 500, souls. From these, by
certain natural enemies" of the
French, there are successfully select
ed during the French war, say 30
able-bodied men, Drumdrudge, at her
W expense, has sucked and nurseo
them, she has, not without difficulty,
and ven sorrow, fed them up to a
hood, and even trained them to crafts.
50 that one can weave, another build,
another hammer, and the weakest
can stand under 80 stone avoirdupois.
Nevertheless, amid much weeping
and swearing, they are selected, all
dressed in red, and shipped away, at
the public charges, some 200 miles.
or say only to the South Of Spain,
and fed there till wanted. And now
to that same spot, in the south Of
Spain, are 80 similar French artisans,
from a French Dumdrudge, in like
manner vending, till at length, after
indefinite effort, the two parties come
into actual j~uxtaposition and 80
stands fronting 30, each with a gun
in his hand.
st%raightway the word. dire" is
given, and they blow the souls out oil
one another, and in place of 60 brisk,
useful craftsmen, the world has go
dead carcasses, which it must bury,
and anew shed tears for.
Had these men any quarrel? Busy
as the devil is, not the smallest!
They lived far enough apart, were
the entIrest strangers; nay, in so
wide a universe there were even, un.
consciously, by commerce, some mu-
tuaI heIpfulness between them. How
then? SimpIeton! Their governors
had fallen out, and instead of shoot
ing one another, had the CUNNING to
make these poor %blockheads shoot.
