Commerce Angel of Peace"

Irving S. Cooper, who addressed the so
ciety Saturday night the welding of
the mysticism of the east with the energy
of the west, believes that commerce is
the great angel of peace
Germany will lose more money than
France" said Mr.. Cooper, even if she
wins the war German capitalists have
invested heavily-as have the capitalists
of other countries. for that matter
III French securities. If Germany wins.
France will be Il crushed nation. Her
securities win be valueless But many
Germans will be hankrupted,"
Mr.. Cooper said that the society is
opposed to war, but that he thought
the present war necessary. 1t could not
be avoided. he added, and would serve
to point out the utter uselessless OF
war.
Mrs Marie Russak, who spoke at the
closing official meeting of the convention,
held last night in the ballroom of the

1.-THE greatest example of developed ma

Saturday as general secretary of the
American section of the Theosophical
Society, at its twenty eighth annual con-
vention. closing in this city today. Mr..
Warrington spoke of the religion of the
future to follow the European war, and
declared that a sense of national
ethics will manifest itself then.
"Out of this strife will arise in Europe
a greater federation" said Mr.. Warning
ton. whose states will cooperate in the
development of a greater civilization than
they ever have experienced. This will not
mean national extinction. To a large ex-
tent national autonomy will be preserved
but because all nations will have come
to realize keenly the horrors as well as
the futiity of war. and because of the
further development of the world spirit

EMPER0RS OF TWO NATIONS
COME TOGETHER IN A BATTLE
THAT may END THE GREAT war
THIS LAR POEM
CALLED BEST YET.

Harold Begbie's Fall I'M" is a gen.
uine hit in England. Reprinted and
quoted everywhere. it seems SO far to
be the war poem par excellence. 1t Is
turned out in the last few weeks by
Begbie, who ranks as the most prolific
of the war poets.
What will you lack. sonny. what will
you lack
When the girls line up the street.
Shouting their love to the lads come
From the foe they rushed to beat?
Will you send a strangled cheer to the
sky
And grin till your cheeks are red?
But what will you lack when your
mate goes by
With a girl who cuts you dead?
Where will you look. sonny. where will
you look.
When your children yet to be
Clamor to learn Of the part you took
In the war that kept men free?
Will you say 1t was naught to you
II France
Stood up to her foe or bunked?
But where will you look when they
give the glance
That tells you they know you
How will you fare, sonny. how will
you fare
In the far-off Winter night,
When you sit by the fire in an old
mans chair
And your neighbors talk Of the fight?
Will you sink away, as 1t were from
a blow,
Your old head shamed and bent?
Or say-I was not with the first to go,
But / went, thank God, / went?
Why do they call. sonny. why do they
call
For men who are brave and strong?
Is it naught to you II your country
fall,
And Right is smashed by Wrong?
Is it football still and the picture show,
The pug and the betting odds.
When your brothers stand to the
tyrant's blow
And England's call is Gods?

SHOT and SHELL
MexicO's Difficulties To Be Set
tied by Militarism.
villa Will Resume q Campaign
Against Mexico City.

Juarez, Mexico, Oct. 5.-An nego-
tiations for peaceful settlement of
the Villa Carranza quarrel have been
declared of by General Villa and the
adjustment of Mexico's difficulties will
be with shot and shell.
Following the announcement from
Mexico City that Carranza's generals
will not consent to his resignation as
first chief of the constitutiOnalists
General Francisco Villa has resumed
active preparations for a campaign
against Mexico City. The conference
at Aguas Calientes, if held at all, will
not change the state of affairs. This
is admitted by Villa men.
At that conference Carranza would
have a majority of generals attending
and they would vote as Carranza in
structed them, Villa representatives
say 1t is doubtful now if Villa will
permit any of his generals to attend
the Aguas Calientes meeting.
From chihuahua today come advices
that villa has given up all hope of
averting war with Carranza and that
he has feared all along that Carranza
would insist upon his generals refusing
his resignation. As quickly as the men
and ammunition can be loaded on
trains at Torreon they Will be sent
south by villa. 1t is said in Chihuahua
that an attack on Monterey will be
made by Villa with a detachment of his
army but that the main army will
move rapidly to the south.

alton will force a withdrawal.
The center, from the Oise to the
Argonne, has witnessed no change for
more than a week. Here both armies
remain in strong entertainments, their
fate depending on the battle in the
west and east. The army of the
crown prince IS still being pushed
backward in the Waevre region while
the French column advancing from
Toul to Nancy have forced the Ger
mans to lift their siege of certain of
the Meuse forts.
The officials here today unite in
characteriztng the general situation as
satisfactory. The armies at the front
are being constantly augmented, while
it is certain. judging from wireless mes
sages intercepted by the field forces,
that for the present at least the Ger
mans are at the end of their resources.
They have been compelled to send so
many troops to the east to hold the
Russians that there are at present no
additional troops to reinforce the west
ern fighting lines of Generals Voa
Boehm md Won Kluck, who have al
ready been given every possible soldier
that could be spared from the center
and from Alsace-Lorraine, where pro-
ceedings are at standstill.

and the numbers killed are estimated
as high as 5000 during the present
movement.
1.-The Belgians adopted a clever ruse
at Waelhem. After the bOmbardment
had lasted several hours the fort
ceased to reply. whereupon the Ger
man staff, thinking the fort out of
action, ordered the infantry to ad-
vance in close formation. The Bel
gian gunners waited until they could
see the whites of their eyes and then
opened a murderous fire.
Thus far the forts in the outer
ring of the Antwerp defenses have
suffered little harm from the German
bombardment. The German big guns
are not being worked by regular SOL
diers but by men in citizens clothing.
Undoubtedly these men are employees
of the Krupp factory. hastily sum-
moned to r. 1lace the losses among
the regular gun layers.
The heaviest German guns are to the
north of Vilverde where foundations OF
reinforced concrete have been prepared.
The German shells have practically
wiped out most Of the little villages
and hamlets in the outer circles of the
Antwerp defenses. The Germans still
hold Mailies, although at heavy cost,
as the town is subject to constant
bombardment from the Antwerp forts.

But 1t VIII Take Much More to Soak
In SubsOil.

The first measurable rain at Topeka
in thirteen days fell between ana
1:45 O'Clock this mOrning-.331 OF an

The minimum temperature at Topeka
at six o'clock this morning-55 degrees

feet even today. This is two feet be-
low normal. and with the exception
of last year at this time is the lowest
October stage on record here. A year
! ago today the stage was 81 feet.
According. to Sunny Flora, the local
observer, it would take six months OF
good rains to thoroughly soak the sub
soil. This is the fifth successive year
for Kansas that has been deficient IN
rainfall The deficiency thus far this
year at Topeka is 4.8 inches.
The temperature in the last "a hours
has been normal-warm Sunday night
