maturely on other ambitions, but youth is conscious that it will be preserved for the towering and the fruit
 Consequently, youth is likely to accept war as a picnic. The other fellow may be shot. The young Englishman lost a cor- poral and a sergeant as he took a few men across a root field. That was natural Corporals and sergeants may expect to be shot, but the subaltern knows with out reasoning it with himself that he is too important to be taken away.
 Youth is courageous. because it is inn portant. The post-meridian life knows that it is not important. The man by Q expects the next bullet which comes will pass through him. His experience teaches him to expect that the worst buffets of fate will hit him.
 He has seen enough of the ordinary hazards of life. He does not invite the extraordinary hazard. He does not want war. Unless he has been trained profes- sionally to look for advancement and the realization of ambition in war, he prefers his carpet slippers and his smoking jacket of an evening, and his bath, shave and two soft boiled eggs in the morning. There's no food for cannon in men after 70, unless war be their profession. But youth Is the food self-conf1dent, self important, self-assured; convinced that the other fellow will get the bullet and that youth will get the honor. Military dynasties are fed on such material. Paciflsm may hold up its hands hope lessly before this.
 How are people to rid themselves of something to which the young and ag-
 gressive masculine element is devoted Men, young men, like to fight. They en- joy the emotions of fighting. They do not care so much to kill as they like the haz- ard of offering themselves to the killing they are convinced will not be their 1 fate.
 That has been the war material from the beginning of knowA times and it is the
 material now.

Arras. which has been the scene of much fighting in the European war, is situated In northern France, and is the chief town of the department of Pas-de- Calais. It has about A.oo inhabitants. The city is on the right and southern bank of the scarpe. at the point where it joins the Crinchon. The history of Arras dates back to Roman times. It was taken by Baldwin, Count of Flanders, in sss, was ravaged by the Normans and has since met with many vicisstudes. It was for tified by Vauban in the seventeenth cen tury, but of these works only a gateway and a partially dismantled citadel remain. The eastern part of the town is extreme ly picturesque. Here are lofty houses built with projecting upper stories, in the Flemish style that border two large squares called the Grande and the Petite Place. The upper parts of the houses are supported on columns which form a passageway along the streets. Beneath eAiS tcCP SciidlS llidl tAlcIlu tiic squares. The hotel de vile, or 'city hail." of Arras, Is a famous structure and was built in the sixteenth century. It has a belfry, containing a fine peal of bells, that rise to a height of 240 feet.

TO GET SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

w. D. Aughinbaugh in Leslie's.
 The way for a nation to obtain and hold control of the markets of another country is to finance it's municipal and national improvements. It should also extend credit for the development of mines and other natural resources. Most of the large sugar, coffee, rubber, cocoa and henequin plantations are operated on European capital All of Latin-America. Russia and the far east which are going to be good future markets for our prod ucts, are constructing railroads, improv- ing harbors. erecting light and power plants. opening mines. putting up smell ters. This means large orders for ma chinery, rails. rolling stock. electrical ap- pliances and the like. Foreign bankers when making loans to private persons or governments interested in these progress sive movements always stipulate that the materials to be used should be purchased from the country which furnished tho money for the devslopmsnt. This was fair business policy. and should serve as an example for us in our future opera tions
 England leads the world In foreign in- vestments, followed by Germany. France and Belgium. It is estimated at the pres- ent time thsre is over s5.ooo, ,ooo0oo of Eng lish capital In Latin-America.

Against Professional Mendicancy

Instead of giving mendicants nickels and dimes, I think it would be good plan if books of tickets were provided. say a book of 10 tickets for 50 cents and each ticket to be good for cup of cof- fee, sandwich, loaf of bread or some such article of the value of cents," said chartably disposed citizen.
 Tn every city at this time of the year there are many people actually hungry. and they need immediate relief There are places in every city where a hungry man can get good, plain meal for 10 or 15 cents, but many of the mendicants on the streets are professionals at the game of begging, and rake in from s3 to s5 day. I was told of one fellow who lived in very elegant style and was able to buy furs and jewelry for a very hand some young woman said to be his wife.
 The plan I recommend has ben adopt ed in other cities. and has proved very successful in more ways than one, not the least of them being the disappearance Of the professional beggar from the com munity These people move in an orbit just as the earth through the seasons. and winter is the time when they visit the south, hence we generally have more thievery and villany at that time than during the summer.
 hls is matter that might be taken up by some of the charitable organiza- tons in the city. It would be pretty sure to meet with sufficient support to relieve all cases of real distress"

 THE GENIUS OF WAR. General Joffre, it appears. directs the operations of the French armies by tele. phone fin the seclusion of village school house. 70 miles from the scene of fighting.

Nothing of the sort. He works harder than any man in the trenches and personal danger Is noth- ing to soldier. War has lost some of its picturesque features and has become an exact science.
