But today the situation Is different

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

,ou. was no exception. From the very
'~bap,nning she believed that her sons we're
destined to be great men. and even then
.Drouhesied that she would be knoWn In
history as the mother OF the
rather than the daughter Of 6cip ARR
canus. Her assertion proved true. Even
IN her own time was she considered %
great a woman that . statue VA erected
to her which bore the inscription. The
Mother Of the 'Gracchi."
Cornelia educated her sons herself after
their fathers death. She had been In
structed by her father. the great Scpio.
in philosophy, Greek and politics. and was
we'll qualified to teach her sons in.,alla the
branches OF knowledge. So brilliant .
woman was she that all the light and
learning Of Rome gathered at her home to
enjoy intercourse with the intellect OF this
really remarkable woman.
Soon after her husbands death Ptolemy.
King Of Egypt, attracted by her bnlliancs
and the beauty of her character, laid his
hand and his heart at her feet. But Cor
nelia refused this honor. preferrins to re-
main a widow SO that che might devote
all her life to her children.
II was at about this time that this de-
voted mother made the remark that has
come down to US through centuries Of
time. An e~xtravagant and proud Roman
matron while calling on Cornelia n day
was boasting Of the beauty and value Of
her Jewels. Turning to her hostess. the
visitor asked to be shown her treasures.
At that moment her two sons. Just Tin
tshed with their lessons. came into the
room.
These are my Jewels" said the proud
mother, placing her arms around her boys.
This little incident has been made the sub
ject Of one Of the most beautiful pictures
ever painted.

should be held out now to build up
this, important industry while the
commerce Of other nations ~lanquishes
under the facilitating effect Of war.
The time is especially opportune.
Next Saturday the Panama canal
will be thrown open to the commerce
Of the world. No one thought that
this, great highway of commerce. the
dream Of centuries, would be com
pleted upon the eve Of a European
struggle.
But in this very situation lies a
golden opportunity.
Our coastwise shipping companies
probably will withdraw their vessels
from regular trade and engage in a
world wide commerce. In fact some
Of tho companies have signified their
Intentions Of taking this step.

WHAT Is m~oelL,zAT,oN?

|. Just what does mobilization mean?
This question, more than any other,
has been on the lips Of readers of
war news during the past week.
The dispatches have been full Of as.
sertions like the following: III Rus.
STA mobilizes, Germany will declare
warp German mobilization to be
followed by French invasion" But
there has been no explanation why
whatever action this military term
connotes, should be SO provocative Of
international disturbance.
The fact Is that mobilization is the
step which, must precede the first
overt act Of val and usually the mo-
Utilization Of an army is Immediately
followed by either a declaration Of
war or some overt act Of war. Con-
sidered purely as a technical military
term, mobilization means drawing to
the different military units-battalion
battery or squadron-the number Of
reserves which brings it up to its full
war strength, but its significance
only becomes apparent in considering
everything that this involves.
In q country like Germany, with a
military machine Of gigantic proper
lions, fired, oiled, with steam In the
boilers, ready to respond to the touch
Of a lever at the Kaiser's word order

thorized to give it-sets into motion

situation begins to clear. It would
seem as if eventually a great war
must be averted, but in the interim
the fear of a clash with disastrous
possibilities will continue.
Outcome Of Russo-Japanese War.
The present European war is real
ly the outcome of the. Russo-Japan
war. Before that Russia's great
power and prestige kept In check all
of the European nations, they being
! overawed by her imaginary exagger-
ated greatness. The result of the
Russo-Japan war undermined Rus.
sia's prestige to the point of humil-
iati0n, of which Emperor William
took advantage to forge ahead, with
the result that Germany finally occu-
pied Russia's former position as the
most important war power in Europe.
All this, together with the s%elf-adula-

the Mexicans have done, they will
weaken themselves in men5and money
as we'll as prestige, and will put them
selves in a position similar to Rome
when overp0wered by the barbarians,
as through the weakness of their ar
mics and money, facilities they will
become feeble. The East China and
JAPAN will gain correspondingly in
military and money strength. which
will encourage them to combine to
overthrow these once great nations
and maybe who knows to the con-
trary bring about another dark age

Does it make one taller to stand on

Is there q watch by which one can
tell the psychological moment?
Did the man who returned after

Is 1t the spur Of the moment that
causes time to go SO fast?
