Jour PART IN THE STRUGGLE
Colonel Harvey Points out Posi-
bilities that May Be Ire
mendOus to Us.

Finally, what of the New World?
From the immediate military strug-
gle itself America fortunately stands
aloof. A few thousand Canadians
may shed their blood in Flander or
on the lower Rhine; a few hundred
conscripts from the French Antilles
may die in Alsace or beneath the
walls of Paris; a small fraction of
our foreign population will return to
pay its patriotic debt to the mother
continent. Aside from these things
America can today suffer no appre-
cable drain either in men or in war
material. For a short time, indeed,
the pressing needs of war-stricken
Europe will powerfully stimulate
both American industry and Ameri-
can agriculture, although the gener-
al liquidation of losses following
stupendous consumption of the
worlds capital, together with the de-
creased purchasing power of semi
bankrupt European continent, will
soon more than offset this abnormal
stimulus and will presently engender
a prolonged period of economic re-
action. However, America will lose
infinitely less than any other part
of the civilized world and will be
relatively stronger than she is today.
Indeed, by a quick grasp of present
opportunities, aided by the inevitable
rehabilitation of our long-lost mer-
chant marine, we should be able to
gain a secure foothold in many for
eign markets hitherto virtual Euro
pean monopolies, especially in Latin
America.
Nevertheless, the tremendous pos
sibilities which may arise from the
final outcome of the present Euro
pean conhagration may engender
problems vital to our whole future.
Suppose a German Empire, rising
triumphant over a ruined England,
lord of the sea, hungry for markets
and colonies to recoup its losses.
Suppose an aroused and aggressive
Asia, with the United States the sole
unscathed member of the white
world. Suppose, even, firmly weld
ed British Empire, united by sue
cessful war, militarized by the in
toxication of victory, and allied to
hungry and bellicose Japan. We
assert our hegemony of this hemi-
sphere, we are in possession of
earth's greatest prize, the Panama
Canal And-the Anglo-German
death-grapple proves that blood is
not always thicker than water.
All these eventualities, it is true,
still lie in the unknown future, but
one among them may lie in the very
immediate future. At any rate, one
lesson seems to lie fair for our read
ing: on this day of Armageddon
America should neglect nothing for

MONSON,

A. M. Walker is erecting a new dairy barn at his farm on East Hill.
 Charles G Giffin of Lincoln street has gone to Attleboro, where he has taken position.
 O. A. Sweet has completed the taking of the school census. The census shows there are 917 school children between the ages of and 16.
 Mrs E. 0. Bradway, who has been in Wesson memorial hospital in Springfield for an operation, has recovered sufficiently to return to her home on Hampden court.
 The Mems club of the Congre- gational church has elected these officers for the ensuing year: Presi- dent, Carlos M. Gage; vice president, Henry F. 0. Dewing; treasurer, Lyman 0. Flynt; secretary, Fay P. Holdridge; executive committee, F. E. severy, John Clark, Charles F. Orcutt. The retiring president, Will son M Tucker, has served for the past two years. The club member ship is now about 75.
 Local hunters are prepared for deer hunting, the season for which opened Monday morning. Town Clerk c. l.. Peck has issued a number of licenses, and the eleven hoofed game will have many pursuers. Deer are not as plentiful here as last year, but some are being constantly report ed. Fay 0. Holdridge saw a herd of five on his place on East Hill. Last year more deer were killed in Mon- son in the open season than in any other single town in Massachusetts.
 Notice has been received by the town treasurer this week that the street railway tax apportionment for this town will be about $12OO less than last year. The reason is the depreciation in the value of street railway securities. The loss will be severely felt, especially as the seleotmen have planned to use about bn0 SdLn0 du1OuuG dS WAS dNdlIdu16 ldSI year on highway work, for which the street railway and excise taxes were appropriated at the last town meeting. One thousand dollars were raised and appropriated in addition to the two above e-mentioned taxes for the highway account for this years work but the sbrinkape in the taxes will bring the amount down to about the sum used ny the administration of 1913. The work this fall has not been completed, and money is. not available to complete it unless the same is borrowed and charged to next years account Many other towns in Western Massachusetts are in the same fix.

RADlUM AND LIGHTNING.
And the Better Protection of Horses
 During Thunderstorms.

And the Better Protection of Horses During Thunderstorms.
 . Radium has been discovered vastly to improve lightning rods in their pro- tection of buildings during thunder storms, Of course the enormous cost of radium prevents any practical use of the fact as yet. But there is q very fair possibility that the information gained ill this way will lead to a new form of lightning rod which will be more efficient or that further expert nents will show that tiny quantity of radium at q reasonable cost will im- prove the protection.
 The purpose of lightning rods, of course, is to catch the electrical cur NantS in the air during storm and lead them safely into the ground in- stead of allowing the lightning to pick its own course down through house or church steeple, and their use is based on the principle that metal rod will give the electricity a smoother path of less resistance than ordinary building material. s~t
 The whole trouble with lightning rods now is that, though they can be made to do the trick if therelectrical discharge is near them. there is no way to lead electricity through the air to the rod. Radium will do this part of the work, as has been demonstrated in scientific experimeIts,- Two mill grams of rad.nm on the end of q rod made the air considerable distance away vastly better conductor, >ss
 Thus any electrical discharge within several yards of the rod had path opcn for it along the radium rays to lhe rod and then down the rod to the earth Saturday Evening Post.

 The Unchanging Past.
 This is the reason why the past has such magical power. The beauty of its motionless and silent pictures is like the enchanted purity of late autumn. when the leaves, though one breath would make them fall, still glow against the sky in golden glory. The past does not change nor strive. Like Duncan. after lifc's ftful fever. it sleeps well. What was eager and grasping. what was petty and transit tory has faded away. The things that were beautiful and eternal shine out of it like stars in the night. It's beauty to a soul not worthy of it is unpndur- able, but to a soul which has conquer ed fate the pnSt is the key of religion. -Bertrand Russell.

MARSHAL IS NOT LIMITED
IN NUMBER OF DEPUTIES
Controller Of Treasury So Rules
When Question Of Juvenile Court
Officer Comes Before Him.

Although there is no au hority in law
for the employment of an additional
deputy marshal to take care of the
increased work of the Juvenile Court
of the District of Columbia, according
to decision made public by the con-
troller of the Treasury today, never
theless 1t is intimated in the decision
that the marshal may employ as many
deputies as he needs and distribute
them according to the administrative
needs without specifically saying that
the deputy is needed for the Juvenile
court work.
The case was referred to the con-
troller V the Attorney General after
much correspondence from the Judge of
the Juvenile Court. There is a pro-
vision in law for the employment of a
deputy marshal in the Juvenile Court
to look after the juries. but the court
reported that it is impra acticable to get
a man for So day for such time as he
Is needed 1t was for this reason that
the question of employing q marshal
permanently came up.
The law does not limit the number
of deputies which the marshal for the
District may employ. and the marshal
may, with the permission of the at
torney general, employ as many depu-
ties as the business of his office may
require" said the decision THE mat
ter of the distribution of these deputies
is one of administration of the mar
Shals office
1t is this para graph which suggested
that the marshal may employ a deputy
for work in the Juvenile Court without
employing him specifically for work
in such branch.
