When They go Away"

When Lego away take care of
him." pathetically whispered the
wife of the President, in he last
hour, to her trusted friend and ply
stefan. The friend may do what he
can, but the tragedy is that when
dear ones go on their last journey no
service that the most faithful SYM
pathizer can render to those who re-
main lightens in the least the burden
of loneliness and desolation and loss,
For this final going away is the
supreme human sorrow. To the be-
reaved the world is darkened, its
foundations are shaken, the life that
is left seems unreal. Philosophy does
not help; the aphorisms solemnly
extended to others by way of conso-
lation in like crises of their lives
suddenly seem empty and meaning
less. Faith weakens. When life is
strong and personal grief far off,
it is easy to feel that wisdom and
love and justice pervail and that all
things are ordered for good. When
death comes and takes away the
nearest and dearest, the belief that
the One above doeth all things we'll
seems to vanish.
For those who go away go so far.
Prayers and anguished cries bring no
answer from them, pleading hands
no sign. The voices we heard but
yesterday have entered into eternal
silence; the beings that seemed a
part of us, whose lives were inter-
twined with ours, have vanished as
IL they had never been. They have
gone beyond barrier past which we
can not see, into Somewhere whose
distance is infinite.
But tho they go, they return.
When the bewilderment of grief is
past. when calmness has come again,
the infinite distance lessons; to the
yearning of the spirit for their pres
| ence there is answer. Whether it be
an actual return or a fragrance from
the life that is gone or a poisoning
of memory. does not matter; the
influence is the same. 1t is as If the
beloved were near; ii is the essence
of the spirit, and spirit with spirit
doth meet" The dead ''go away"

War May Stop Market for Dark
Tobacco.
Tobacco buyers who represent
foreign governments and dealers
are worried over the threatening
aspect of the European war on to-
bacco. Approximately 60 per cent
of the tobacco grown in the Black
Patch. which is located in Western
Keltucky and Western Tennessee,
is sold in European countries. This
is a heavy tobacco, for which there
is a very small demand in this coun-
try. When the war broke out
shipments of dark tobacco were en-
route to foreign ports, and efforts
are being made to have them turn
ed back for fear that they will be
confiscated or delayed indefinitely.
The effects of the war is expected
to have a declining movement on
the price of tobacco because the hea-
Wy consumers of this particular
grade of the weed will not be in the
market and the demand here is not
sufficient to maintain recent prices;
therefore they are expected to fall
materially in the next few months.
If the war is not over by the time
the 1914 crop is ready for the mark
ct shortly before the holiday season
there will be practically no demand
for the crop. and prices, no doubt,
would be the lowest in the history
of the country. Prospects are very
gloomy for the growers and buyers

German-American
Peace Body Thanks
Wilson for Offer

NEW YORK. Aug. S--A message Of
thanks for President Wilson's offer of
mediation 10 the powers at war in Europe
was sent TO him tonight by the German
American peace society from its general
meeting here.
With the outbreak OF war in mind. the
secretary in a statement reaffirmed its
adherence to the peace proposal laid down
In its platform. II adds:
AT the present time, however, that point
OF It's program seems the most important
which provides for the lutheran of
friendly relations between the old and
new fatherland and 1t most emphatically
protests against the attitude OF a part
of the American press that seems to try
its best to bring about a disturbance Of
these relations even for the time after
the end Of the war.
In this sad hour our sympathy belongs
without reservation to our brothers fight
ing In the ranks of the German and
Austrian armies and we hope for the vic
tory of their arms not only out of love
of the old fatherland. but also out of
sincere conviction that by this the ideals
of mankind, also the rightly understood
IDEA OF universal peace, will be best served
in the end. We regret and condemn this
war, but faced by an unalterable fact we
hope for the victory OF the right for we
