The war god is running amuck
in Europe, and what the end will
be no man can forsee. And il
is a war that is entirley uncalled
for. Without adequate cause a
war that threatens to overshadow
any other conflict that the world
has known has begun. No coun-
try is benefited, and the winner
will at the same time be the
loser. The loss in life and prop
erty will be appalling. 1t is
something that could have been
averted with a little diplomacy.
AS matter of fact no war is
necessary in these enlightened
times. The Civil War in this
country. we believe, could have
been averted, and the same end
attained in another way. The
United States can congratulate
itself that il has at its head men
of cool judgment, reliant, calm
and careful, and this country
can only be drawn into the
gigantic conflict through base
injustice or indignity perpetrat-
ed by some other nation. And
il is to be sincerely hoped that
such a provocation will not arise.

Big PontOOn Sinks

One of the big pontoons of the
Port Of Portland drydock at st.
Johns sank yesterday afternoon,
putting the drydock temporarily
out of commission and delaying
the work on the American
steamer. Wasp. at the dock TO
have her tail shaft replaced.
The pontoons, owing TO the
continued dry weather. have
opened at the seams i'm a num-
ber of places. Close watch has
been kept 10 close up these open
ings as fast as they occur. and
until yesterday no damage had
resulted. As the pontoon was
filled with water yesterday to
lift the Wasp into the dock il
appeared to be working perfect
ly. However, when the valves
were shut off when a sufficient
depth was reached the big pom
toon failed TO stop. Ii now lies
on one side on the bottom of
the river. AS the pontoon set
tied onto the bottom of the river
a number of piling and timbers
used to hold the dry dock in
place gave way. allowing il to
keel over.
Under the direction of Cap
tain II. T. Groves, superinten-
dent of the Port of Portland
fleet of dredgers and the dry
dock, a force of men were placed
at work this morning. The o.
w. X. and N. pumping scow and
wrecking outfit was secured this
morning and taken TO the dry
dock by the steamer 0cklahama.
Ii is expected to have the big
pontoon ahoat again by Thurs
day and the Wasp will be placed
in the dry docks at once.
The Port of Portland dry dock
was built Ia years ago, and is
the largest in the Columbia
river. II is 468 feet long, has
a width between wings of 80
feet, the depth of water possible
over the keel blocks is 25 feet,
and il has a dead weight lifting
capacity of 10000 tons. 1t will
handle ships 500 feet long. -

TOIstoy's Vision

A sudden notion induced the
Kaiser to write to the Car in
the early Autumn of 1911 ask
ing TO obtain for him a message
from Tolstoy. Something that
the philosopher had never writ
ten before was the request made
by the Emperor.
The Car, desirous of obliging
his cousin" - all sovereigns
claim blood and divine relation.
ship commanded Countess Mas
tasia Tolstoy, grand neice of the
sage, to interview Leo Nicolae-
witch, as he was familiarly call
ed, and TO secure from him the
desired document.
This prophetic message, singu-
larly timely at this hour, is
known as "Tolstoy's Vision" by
his admirers. Printed in Rus
sian in 1912. il was translated
and first circulated among the
friends Of the great Muscovite
philosopher as a privately print
ed and little known pamphlet.
Following the royal command.
Countess Tolstoy visited her
grand uncle at his country es-
tate and explained briefly her
mission. He listened curiously
and replied:
VERY strange. | would be
glad 10 send a message TO royal
ty. but the trouble with me is
that | have written all my life
messages for the mob. | am not
accustomed to the conventions
of court diction. However,
will think the matter over"
A few moments afterwards
her aged host asked the Coun-
tess TO write, as his hands were
then paralyzed. Tolstoy slowly
leaned back in his chair, cover
ed his eyes with his hand. and
remained absolutely silent.
Then, Strengthening up, like
one i'm a trance, he began in a
low and hollow voice:
This is a revelation of events
of a universal character. which
must shortly come TO pass.
Their spiritual outlines are now
before my eyes. | see floating
upon the surface of the sea of

her especially. But she. like an
eternal courtesan. tlirts with all.
In her hair ornaments of dia-
monds and rubies is engraved
her name: Commercialism.
As alluring and bewitching as
she seems. much destruction and
agony follow in her wake. Her
breath. reeking of sordid trans.
her voice of metallic
character, like gold, and her look
of greed are so much poison to
the nations who fall victims to
her charms.
And behold. she has three
gigantic arms with three torches
of universal corruption in her
hand. The first torch represents
the flame of war. that the beau
tiful courtesan carries from
city TO city, and country to coun-
try, Patriotism answers with
flashes of honest flame, but the
end is the roar of guns and
musketry.
THE second torch bears the
fame of bigotry and hypocrisy.
It lights the lamps only in tenn
pies and on the altars of false
Institutions. 1t carries the seed

WIfe's Allowance.

The abysmal ignorance of a great
majority of married American women
concerning the simplest facts and
forms of business is amazing and pa
thetic. Before showing high school
girl a cookbook and teaching her how
to make pie we would show her a
checkbook and teach her how to make
deposit. You have insured your life,
we trust, in favor of your wife; but
have you explained to her what she
should do with the money II it should
fall into her hands-what sort Of In
vestments to make; with whom to con-
suit; how to check up bank pass
book?
The best beginning for such an edu-
cation Is to give your wife-at once
a fixed allowance, whatever portion of
the family income reasonably belongs
to her for her personal use. There is
no more reason that wife should ask
her husband whether she may have So
with which to buy a pair of gloves
than there is that he should ask her
whether she will please see that the
beds are made and the dinner cooked.
If wife cannot handle her own pin
money intelligently, what is the use
Of leaving her life insurance?-Phila-

When the man went out to see

Mustard in any quantity desired could
be obtained at the corner drug store.
