Savannah station. The wreck had
been reported a dangerous menace to
navigation. and when the cutter went
to investigate portions of the wreck

surface of the ocean. The water was
so clear, however. that the hulk of
the schooner could be seen lying on
the bottom of the ocean. 4 mine was
lowered into her open hold and ex-
ploded. This tore away the greater
portion of her deck. Then mines were
exploded on the outside of the hulk
at different points, and they tore what
remained of the vessel IN small parts
that drifted away with wind and tide.
Soundings made over where the
schooner had lain showed water deep
enough to float the deepest draft ves-
sci without danger of touching.

A Word to Business Men

If business is slow, business men are chiefly responsible:
The people need as many things as ever and are as willing to
buy to the extent of their means.
The crops are bountiful beyond the average, and the basis OF
prosperity is there.
They will be harvested and marketed. Just think Of this one
fact.
Only five per cent. of our crops is sent abroad.
The remaining 95 per cent. we consume at home. Is there any
reasonable doubt that this small five per cent. will not find trans
None at all.
It is not to carry our products to the old markets for which we
are trying to have a government line Of steamers established, but to
carry them to new markets that have been opened to us by the war.
Why, then, should any business man hesitate to show CONT
dence in the prosperity of the country, tighten up the purse strings
and take restrictive measures in his business, which result in caus
ing like Tightening on the part of all who deal with him and lessen
the purchasing power of the people?
This is the very course which brings on hard times.
Distrust and retrenchment on the part Of the business man
bring the very thing they are intended to avert. They slow up
business and cause everybody to hold back. Why should the busl-
ness man in this way precipitate the very ell he fears?
If manufacturers. wholesalers, retailers and bankers Will go
ahead with confidence, with that faith in the prosperity OF the
country which the large crops and the new foreign markets opening
to us justify. we shall enter upon the greatest season Of prosperity
and expanding business the country has ever seen
The action Of the business and financial world is the key to
that Of the whole country.
Let them pitch the note Of confidence, enterprise and patriotic
endeavor, and the whole country will join IN the songr-SE Louis

The present state of affairs i,
Europe furnishes an object lesson
for the future when peace has
been declared and the countries
now engaged in war are called
on to again enter into treaty re-
lations. The value OF the promise
of some of those countries must
of necessity be discounted. Ger
many was in honor bound to OBJ
serve the neutrality of her weak
err neighbor, but she ruthlessly
violated every obligation and IN
vaded Belgium's territory with a
great army while the latter OF
fered strenuous objection. From
the present situation we are
forced to the conclusion that
England does not rely upon trea-
ties, but upon her navy for the
observance of that comfy which
is necessary for the peace OF her
neighbors and herself.
