One day the creditors of the old firm
Of Hoffman, Gerhardt & Shultz got
checks in their mail, together with p.
note from the junior partner. He re-
called the promise he had made years
before. He was paying, he explained,
not ony his one.third with interest, but
the other twothirds with interest. for
neither Hoffman nor Gerhardt had
prospered or seemed likely to be able
to pay.
II Is thirty-odd years since the firm
Of Hoffman. Gerhardt & Shultz failed
and Shuitz was SO shocked that the
papers paid little attention to the hap
pening. II would be a different matter

name is known the world over. His
business has spread until his factory
buildings cover many acres Of ground
and his employees are numbered by
the thousands. He has farms IN the
East. the South, the West. the North
and the middle West to furnish SUP
plies for his great kettles. He has a
big glass works In which he makes his
own bottles. The volume of freight
he furnishes to the railroads each year
is immense. He is a millionaire many

shown an inclination to depart from
her long policy of noninterference,
and has harried Moresnet with two
main detectives. She has sought to
compel the people of the little terri
tory to declare their desire to become
German subjects, and has also striven
to drive the government Of Belgium
into surrendering it's rights. Far be-
yond any expectations. Moresnet citi-
zens have stanchly upheld their inde-
pendence, maintaining that the COM
pacts between Prussia and Belgium
should never be severed. Belgium
has also remained stolid, even refus-
ing to relinquish her claims in ex-
change for a substantial indemnity.
There have even been some in Bel
GUM whose doctrine it was to sur
render Moresnet, with the natural ex-
pectation that Germany would, by
reason of the concession, support Bel
gium in more important matters. A
favorable treaty was not thought un-
likely.
In 1905 German papers suddenly de-
clared that both Moresnet and Bel
gium were willing Germany should
assume control of the little territory
1t was even intimated that Belgium
was willing to sell her rights. But
the declarations were baseless.
Two years later the people of Mores.
net answered Germany in a more ma.
terial way. A plebiscite. somewhat
in the form of straw vote, was held,

Of central Europe, where the

vast armies of half dozen ma
tions are fighting the biggest
war in history, is one of the
smallest and strangest territories in
the world, known officially as the Neu-
trail Territory of Moresnet. An encir-
cling ridge of high mountains verita-
bly, buries it from neighboring civili-
zation and culture and leaves it in
little world Of its own. But it is not
SO strange. It is the fact that, for
nearly century, the inhabitants have
never experienced the feeling of being
under the rule of an emperor, king or
president. They are independent, gov
erned by no one, at liberty to do as
they please, for, after the Vienna con-
gress of 1915 Moresnet was granted
an independent constitution, guaran-
teed by Prussia and Belgium Only
11s square miles in extent its land
worth, perhaps, is greater per square
foot than that of any other sovereign
state. In the interior is one of the
richest zinc mines in the world, which
years of active working have failed to
exhaust.
A large percentage of the inhabi-
tants of the territory are miners. Few
venture beyond the confines of the
quiet little valley, though the bustling
commercial city of Aix-la- Chapelle is
but five miles away to the northeast,
and Liege lies only % miles westward.

Preeedents Hero and There.

English mental processes found an
illustration in the apology ex.Premier
Balfour felt called upon to make at
the lord mayors banquet In London
Monday night, when he proposed a
toast to the allies. It was against pre-
cedent, he said. but he justified II on
the ground that I'VE are living in
times without precedent" An Ameri-
can would think no apology necessary
for such toast mt such time. In
fact, 1t would have been taken as
matter OF course. and its omission
would have caused surprise. But It
had never been done before at Lon
don banquet, and because It was with
out precedent 1t needed explanation
and apology.-Hartford Courant.

'Peacesrams" Sum Up Aphonsm.
Against War and for Happiness to
Be Found in Its Aversion.

Recently The Washington Herald pub.
lished an exclusive article on the organi.
zation in this city of a new peace society
on popular lines to be known as "The
Patriots OF the World"
The publication of the article in The
Herald brought flood of applications for
membership in this society. according {,
Daniel Russell, provisional president of
the new organization. in an interview
last night.
Men and women in all walks of life,
some living at points far distant from
Washington, have applied for member
ship" declared Mr.. Russell. Unsolicited
applications from Congressman, profess
sional men, labor leaders, and others
are an extremely encouraging and graft
flying sign. In fact. so far as member
ship is concerned, our success already is
assured
Plan PubIic Meeting.
I'VE have opened temporary interna-
tional headquarters in the Colorado
Building. this city, and we are Fastening
arrangements for a great. public meet
ing in the near future.
Due to the disorganiAed mail service
abroad. the work of forming our inter
national committee Of one hundred will
be unavoidably slow. We hope, never
theless, to be able to announce the names
Of the members of the committee by
November Is.
Composed OF men and women Of in
ternational prominence and universal
scope Of mind and heart, the committee
will be well qualified to shape the policy
and guide the destiny Of The Patriots
of the World"
Every War Ends in Farley.
The following "peacegrams" are from
a bulletin the provisional president Is
preparing to issue at an early date:
Every war ends in a peace parley.
When nations learn to begin where they
now end, war will be thing OF the past" !"
Limited patriotism is like a mother
who loves some of her children and hates
others. World patriotism will be like a
mother who loves all her children-the
weak and the strong. the handsome and
the ugly, the good and the bad. She will
admire those who are deserving and
praise them; she will pity those who are
undeserving and encourage them to i'm
prove their ways
The business of peace is the trade OF
living; the business of war is the trade
Of killing
Force is the argument Of war; reason
is the argument of justice. The individ-
ual who believes in force is an anarchist.
and the nation that believes in force is
a nation OF anarchists
Which Is Greater BruIc:
THE only thing a fight ever settles is
which of two fighters is the greater
brute"
War is a wild animars idea CT justice.
Men who believe in war belong in the
Jungle"
Order first, then reason. then justice,
then happiness-that is the road to civiii-
zation.''
There never will be a true scale Of
justice on this globe while local patriot
ism continues to tilt the map of the
world"
The King Of Kings is the sixteen
inch gun. II that is civilization. th=n
let US crown VesuviUs, for that is the
king Of volcanoes"

This forms suitable setting for her magnificent
presence. She is not the young, immature child
shown in September Morn" She is mature-per-
haps between twenty-five and thirty years OF age.
She has lived, studied worked, thought.
Her body is rarely beautiful, her limbs long, the
hands strong the waist full and very like unto those
figures carved by the Creeks in the days OF Phdias
Not particle OF drapery covers her splendid
form.
There Is suggestion OF concealment of coyness
of embarrassment.
She walks out OF the shadow into the light.
And she she holds aloft in her right
hand an dncandescent lamp-symbol Of scientific
modernty.
It's mellow. weldifused rays fall on her fine face.
Her brow Is low, the head square and shapely. Her
hair is loosely done up draped her ears caught
in a coil at the back Of her neck
The whole figure reveals strength, health, virlity,
eager intelligence. high purpose sincerity honesty.
She is vertable queen-a queen with message.
At the left in the foreground of the picture are
upwards of forty figures Of men and women and los.
ing themselves In OF pale blue fog Is mob
suggesting many people.
And these people all terror-stricken. abashed,
fearful They cover their faces and turn away II
from pollution and pestilence. They represent
women in modern fashionable costume; long corsets
are in evidence, diaphanous gowns, high chokers
and low-cut gowns-al the frils and does Of fash
