MR.. SHAW'S FORECAST.

G. Bernard Shaw prodigiously
disapproves the alliance of England
with Russia fer the strIction of
Germany. He demands to know what
will be the status of western civil
ization. when the war is over, with
Russia swooping down from the east
to claim the licn's-in this case, the
bear's-share Of the spoil
Mr.. Shaw is not the only person
to whom that question has occurred.
1t cannot be brushed lightly aside.
Even the most devoted supporters Of
the anti-Germanic alliance, even
those persons who most earnestly
believe it is necessary, in all the
circumstances, that Germany shall
be defeated. vet find themselves un-
able to explain how the future shall
work itself out in the interest of
western civilization
The mos: that France and Brit
ain can do. can hone to DO, is to pre-
vent Germany from overrunniAg all
western Europe. Their hope of sue
cess in tha*. is in the help of Rus
c;a, which hey rely upon to over
run central Europe.
At the end of the war, assuming
that the Germans shall be beaten,
the position presented will he son'c-
thing like thiS:
Germany VIII have fought France
and England to q draw. It will he

nendOds demands that will come
from Russia. She will hold all the
prizes Of the war. Much of Prus-
sia will be in ner hands. Germany
will be dismemDered, Austria

Will the bear be aillirg to with

road to India?
Germany as the barrier between
the Slav and western civilization has
played a tremendous part. The rise
Of Germany really made it possible
for Britain to secure immunity to
Russian attacks. With Germany
compelled % take up the burden of
opposing Russia in the west, and
with Japan suddenly grown to first
class national size and guarding the
cast, the Slav was held in check.
Western civilization had need to
keeT its head cool, its brain clear,

biggest. broadest bearings.

BY MRS. D. z. SWAMI.

Have you ever visited the Columbia
Polytechnic Institute for the Blind.
located at 1875 II street, and watched
the sightless employees in the vari-
GUS departments OF industry carried
on at this employment bureau for
the adult blind?
Perhaps II would be we'll to first
know just how this institution Is
managed. The board Of directors is
composed almost entirely Of sightless
men. and in this respect differs
from any other institution of which
the writer has knowledge These
men claim, and justly claim that
blind people themselves are the best
Judges of what they are able to do.
and SO the object OF this Institution
Is to furnish employment to the
sightless adults of the District Of
Columbia. The institution now num-
bers nine blind people in its employ.
seven OF whom are graduates OF the
Maryland School for the Blind. and
the weekly salaries range from $50
to 8 a week.
The Institution has a register sys-
TEN. and any blind person who seeks
employment here must register; then
the institution stands ready to guar
antee his or her work. For instance.
the do piano tuning. and the In
stitutior has IN its employ three
piano tuners. When an order comes
in. the work Is given to one OF these
tuners. and the institution Guaran-
tees good JOB. and the tuner gets
what he earns on the work. This
is also true Of work obtained for
our music teachers. The institution
does not get a commission or part OF
the money. as its object is to obtain
work for it's emploVcs

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Permit mo TO offer a few reasons in
rebuttal of what Mr.. H. (. Gardiner

Cerity df such a term is applicable to
them). He affirms that our war of the
Revolution was not one waEed by the
English people. but by George III OF
England ! wonder II a casual reader
can discover "a distinction with a DIFF
ference" in his logic. Can he be strain
ing his conscience by the incest shades
of tenuous distinction that a forced con-
clusion may flow better? Or does his
own sense of justice harbor a doubt
as TO the unerring conclusion he seems
to feel? Let US see. a quotation:

Neighborly Advice

When one has suffered tortures

1t was plain to be seen that my kid

tions passed irregularly and were un-

but never found much relief until |
took Doan's Kidney Pills. They prov
ed their worth from the first and in
a short time gave me lasting relief"
THE CURE LASTED.
On January s, 1913. Mrs. Renne-
ker said: ''You will always find me
willing endorser of Doan's Kidney
Pills. The cure they made for me

Organized Criminal Gangs.

Astonishing facts were published
recently by the department of justice
in South Africa, showing that native
convicts have been binding themselves
together in gangs for criminal pur-
poses and have been recruiting in
mine compounds. Their organizations
comprise a king, a judge, fighting
general, a medical officer, warriors
and younger natives. The organiza-
tions hold trials and decree punish
ments. sentencing to DEATH in some
cases by stabbing with sharpened
nail through the shoulders, by strang-
ling with a wet towel, or by putting
powdered glass in the victims food.
More usual punishments are knocking
out the front teeth, especially dn the
case of police informers. The organi-
cations terrorize natives to become
members of the gangs. The prison
department is adopting rigorous meas
ures for the suppression of the gangs,
which originate chiefly in the prisons,
