Although the causes Of war tend to

other worldwide causes of war remain
which are liable to take effect at any

The first Is the fear of sudden invasion

THE naturalization Of territory

But the kaiser thought differently.
Without saying a word to the princess
he made her q colonel of a regiment,
and by mail she received the order to

was no redress; the apartment In the

went with her husband and the kaiser

DR.. ELIOT SEES WAY TO STOP FUTURE WARS

prehension OF invasion lies In the prog,
ress OF international law and In the
spreading opinion among publicists
that there are better ways than war
to settle international questions about
territory, commercial intercourse, and
sovereignty. This Is region IN wnicn
all three divisions OF the activities OF
the Carnegie Endowment for lnterna'
tional Peace are nearly concerned-in-
tercourse and education, economics
and international law.
1.-THE other apprehension which may
at any time become the cause OF war
is the fear lest the supplies of food
and raw material which come to q
country over seas should be cut on
Such insular countries AZ Great Brit
ain and Japan are peculiarly subject
to this apprehension; for either OF
them would be seriously distressed by
even a short interruption OF Its sup
plies of food and raw material. Both
these nations are therefore obliged to
maintain navies more powerful than
any likely to be brought against them.
Hence the immense burdens OF COM
petitive naval ornaments.
"A remedy for this apprehension Is,
however, in sight. The doctrine that
private property should be exempt
from seizure without compensation on
land, will, when adopted by few ma
tons which maintain strong navies, re-
lieve the nations adopting it from the
dread lest their food supplies and the
supply Of raw materials for their
manufacturing industries should be cut
on, and the export OF their mandfac-
tured goods be made impossible or un.
safe. To secure relief from this re-
current apprehension which prompts
such exorbitant expenditure on navies,
it would not be necessary that all the
nations OF the world should adopt the
doctrine OF the exemption Of private
property at sea from capture"

ordinary household 1t has this ono
disadvantage. It does show wrinkles

not a fresh cloth for every meal,

But the linen is beautiful, and In
any household 1t might be used for a

Births and Deaths in the Air.

The international congress for the
codif1cation of laws regulating MARI.
ages, births, and deaths on board aeri-
al craft, which has finished its labors
in Geneva, has formulated definite
recommendation only in the case of
a death taking place in the air. 1t
recommends that the pilot in charge
shall be legally bound to declare the
fact to the authorities at his nearest
stopping place, or, If travelling in a
foreign country, to the nearest consul.
Though 1t is admitted that the ques-
ton of aerial marriages is not of press
Ing importance, it is pointed out that
the precedent for a birth in the air
was established during the Paris ex.
hibition in 1873, when a child was born
in captive balloon 1000 feet up.

Tea and buttered mufiins always of.

afternoons especially popular. Coffee
and sandwiches are also relished, but
sweets are better avoided, for few
women really want to eat them just
before dinner, and are sorry when
they do, though the keen appetite Of
late afternoons makes sweets espe-
cially palatable.

rolled sandwiches may accompany the
stuffed celery. To make rolled sand
witches, cut the bread in thin slices in

all the crust from the loaf. Pack the
slices, one on another and wrap In =

ready melted butter, a pastry brush
and squares of oiled paper. Brush each
slice of bread with melted butter, roll
and wrap firmly in the oiled paper.
Set the rolls of paper in the ice box
and just before serving remove the
papers. The sandwiches will retain
their rolled up shape.
Cooked sausage meat, put through
a chopper, makes delicious filling for
sandwiches. So does chopped apple
and celery. Cream cheese, with
chopped nuts cannot be excelled.
Chopped, onions and green peppers are
relished by some people as a sand
witch filling, but there should always
be other sandwiches without the onion
filling.

INSTRUMENTATION
German Boy Who "Made Good

Romance That In Many Respects Re.

Told Of the English Dick
f7 e.. @- Wilmington. ~.

MarQuart Won Bardewick, leading
merchant and patrician of Lunbeck
took In poor orphan wait and saved
him from begging or stealing by Civ
ing him employment as kitchen lad
or scullion. The lad was handsome
honest and Industrious, making him
self generally useful SO that he was
popular with every one. After q. time
his master, thinking him too good fol
the work, frequently urged him tc
emigrate or 60 to sea, but the boy was
SO attached to his masters little
daughter. six years younger than him
self, that he found 1t difficult to tear
himself away until he was twelve.
In the meantime, however, he had
consulted q man who had come from
the flourishing German colony of Riga
where he was in business, as to the
best way of making beginning, and
the Rigan had given him some money
and told him to get as much education
with 1t as he could, as that would
help him succeed g
Acting on this advice he had taken
lessons, learning reading, writing
reckoning, and such other things "a
his teachers knew. When he was
thus equipped he departed, without
telling any one where he was going,
merely leaving a note to say that he
had followed his masters advice and
gone to sea. Arriving at Riga he was
given a place in his friends business.
where he succeeded so well that when.
after several years, that friend died he
left him as sole heir.
More than ten years had passed, and
young Bertram was forgotten by most
Of those who had known him In Lu-
beck, when one day a handsome,
bearded stranger arrived at MarQuart
Won Bardewick's house and produced
the bill of lading of large and valu-
able cargo Of goods which had been
consigned by the successor OF Jakob
Of Riga, who had already consigned
a number of costly cargoes, so that
the value of the property belonging to
this unknown successor in the hands
of MarQuart represented a large for
tune.
No one recognized the stranger, but
as a wealthy customer he was invited
to dine the next day, and as soon
as he entered the room MarQuart's
daughter recognized the stranger and
cried out: THAT is our Bertram." Mar
quart gladly took the young merchant
into partnership. The business be.
came the leading one in Lubbock.
