One of the raw materials most

Belgium and England are the coun-

supplies. The prospects of getting ar
tihcial silk from the first three are not
bright. It is doubtful II any one of
them will be able to supply our needs

could not possibly fill the gap left by
the dropping out Of the other three.

lforegone conclusion.
This subject is of vital interest to
the hosiery trade. There is no need Of
going into details as to the important
role which artificial silk has PLAYED
in this industry during the last few
years; It is q matter Of common
knowledge. At first regarded as e.
mere fad, artificial silk hose finally
took such a strong hold upon the mar
ket that knitters who swore they
would " touch it were compelled
to add artificial silk hosiery to their
lines. If 1t has not entirely revolu-
tlontzed the industry it has at least
brought about radical changes, which

But for the Monroe doctrine and the
barriers 1t get t o European colonial
ambitions It is perfectly clear that the
Americas would be involved in Eu-

Yet few ever thought of such a sit

v1ND1CAToRs OF Law FOR ONCE,

At n other time than this, Sum-
days battle to the death with Ave rob-
bers down in the feud district of West
Virginia would have had a prominent
place and big headlines on the first
page OF every newspaper. Now it gets
a scant half column on a page where
1t Is likely to be found by readers
both persistent n ~leisurely, and even
to them 1t will seer talne reading in
comparison with the shock Of armies
with a million men in each.
Yet the fight in the mountains was
a sufficiently desperate one, since the
entire force on one side was destroyed,
and it was peculiar for that region, in
that for once the men who have so
often been the lawless workers Of per-
sonal vengeance used their guns In the
defense of public order and the pun
ishment Of crime. Again the name
Of Hatfield, so often in sanguinary as
ISOLATION with that Of Mccoy, comes
to notice with it's owner industriously
pumping bullets at a foe, but this
time he shoots with an authority high
er than his own and the war is reg
ular."
Il I've men besieged in the little
mountain fortress were doubly guilty
in feudist eye In that they were for
eigners and had committed murder,
not as an act of wild Justice" but
merely as an incident In the stealing
Of a lot of money Intended for the
employees Of a local coal company. So
they were promptly hunted down, and
as they refused to surrender they
were all killed.
Apparently there was nothing else to
do. The episode shows how valuable
to society the courage of the noun
tanners would be if we'll directed, and
not devoted. as SO often in the past,

settlement of private quarrels origin

BELGIUM.

New York Times: If it is true that
Belgium is to receive 500, 900, 900
from England and France as q solace
for the losses incurred through her
brave resistance Of the invaders, the
world will feel that the gift is well
bestowed. "Horum omniun1 fortissi-
mi stunt Belgae," COZ all these the
bravest are the B%elgians,") writes
Caesar in his "Commentaries' Of the
tribe which inhabited the northwest
ern part Of Gaul. There was no Liege
in his day, but the identical site of
Namur was occupied by Aduaticum,
which gave him q resistance of many
days after his defeat of the Nervil.
The B%elgians. who once occupied the
land north of the Seine almost to the
banks of the Rhine, have preserved
their name as a people from that day
to this, but their name as a nation,
obliterated by Caesar. was not revived
until 1880. when the present king
dom was founded. All through the
Dark Ages and Middle Ages, the Re-
Nuisance, and even through the Ma
poleonic period, their country's identi-
ty was merged in that Of the Neither
lands. Sixteen years after the defense
Of Quatre Bras by the Belgians the
kingdom which united the people with
Holland collapsed and the Belgians
asserted their independence as a ma

The Evening Story
a MERE MOTHER.

Copyright, 1914, by w. Werner,)
It was a spring morning at Macart-
ney's and 1t seemed as II there would
be no end to the selling of hats. The
ready to wears were in constant de-
mand. Celia Bright had as many as
three customers at a time. and she
managed to suit them all. She knew
her business. She had been selling
ready to wears at M~acartney's for
seven years.
Celia Bright was slender and pref
tily formed. Her thick shining hair
was silvery gray. She had violet eyes
and a tinge Of color in her cheeks.
She was as %delicately, u~nobtrusively
pretty and sweet as a small white
rose. As a rule, Macartney's sales
women were smart and good looking,
and among them Celia escaped notice
from the average observer. But as a
seller Of cheap hats she had no equal.
Usually when she selected a hat and
set 1t on a woman's head 1t stayed
there. She was honest and her judg-
ment could be relied upon.
She was standing with a hat in each
hand, considering a third which a
tired looking woman was wearing be-
o the glass, when she saw q girl
coming toward her through the Wild
erness OF artificial cherry trees and
vines which made the millinery de-
partment a place of enchantment.

having no part in the quarrel, make q
concerted effort and Joint representa-
tons to Russia and Austria to see II
peace could not be preserved. To
these suggestions France and Italy re-
turned Immediately favorable replies.
Germany, while admitting in princi-
ple"' the d~esirability OF such a plan,
was unable to assent to 1t, and made
no response to the urgent request that
she suggest some plan which would be
satisfactory. The documents contain
no evidence of any attitude of Ger
many other than that Of support of
Austria in the latter's determination
to proceed to extremes with Servia,
and the prospect and eve the certain
ty of a general war brought about no
change in the attitude Of either Aus
tria or Germany. Austria was deter
mined. in the face Of all the awful
possibilities, to administer castigation
to Servia, and refused to discuss the
matter further, even after Servia had
assented to all of her demands but one
which Servia agreed to leave open for
the time being. A firm word of re-
monstrance from Germany would
have caused Austria to hold her hand,
but there Is no ecord Of the utter
ance Of my such word. Russia made
no warlike movement until it became
evident that Servia, in whose fortunes
she had close interests, was to be sub
tugated and made, in effect, an Aus
TRAN province. France and Italy la
bored increasingly and earnestly for
peace. and. with England, were will
ing to adopt any plan which would
even delay the outbreak Of hostilities
for a few days. The documentary ev-
idence thus far, therefore, shows Aus
tria as the determined AGGRESSION. with
Germany standing by and warning all
the other powers off and insisting that
Austria he given a free hand. That Is
the situation so far as the published
correspondence reveals it.

NORTH DAKOTA APPLES.

Items in the state papers tell Of the
raising Of good apples here and there
In North Dakota, although this has not
been a particularly good fruit year in
the northwest. The Herald has never
taken any stock in the booming Of
North Dakota, which Is sometimes un-
dertaken, as a place in which to raise
tropical products. We live in the
most northerly part Of the United
States. and 1t is foolish for lis to make
assertions that there can be raised
with profit here products that are
proper to Louisiana and Florida, but
not much farther north. We concede
that n may grow oranges in North
Dakota il he grows them under glass
but 1t is cheaper and more satisfac-
tory to buy them. We do not believe,
either, that apples will ever be pro-
duced in large quantities on a COM
mercial basis in North Dakota. But II
is a fact that about five years out OF
every six. any North Dakota farmer

ing the entire winter. This can be
done without the introduction of any
dollhouse methods or tropical condi-
tons. 1t requires just a little labor,
a little care. and the exercise Of some
common sense.
What is true of apples Is true in
even greater measure Of the small
fruits. Berries Of almost all kinds car
be raised here, not only in small guam
titles for home consumption, but on
a commercial basis, IL too much be
not undertaken at one time. But,
more important than the commercial
end Of the proposition Is the posi-
bihty. which Is overlooked on alto
gether too many farms. Of raising at
home. practically without money
cost, an abundance of the things which
go to furnish the table in a fashion
unknown elsewhere except to people
of Independent fortune. War or no
war, price or no price, the North d.
kota farmer can, If he will, have the
best furnished table of any person of
equal financial standing in the world.

about going. Celia scrimped more
and more. and yet there never was
money enough. But Dorothy did not
know. Perhaps If she had known
she would not have cared. Yet Celia
did not think of that. She only real
lied that work was distasteful to
Dorothy.
After Dorothy had gone away with
the Beldens Celia felt a sense of re-
lief. The girl was happy. The wealth
er was humid and hot. Still, women
bought hats. Celia stood all day sell
ing. The faint rose color fed her
cheeks: her lips were dry. Yet some
how she kept OH smiling. At night
the little fiat seemed to be filled with
the airs from a furnace. She did not
care to eat. She began to wish for
cooler weather-even to pray for 1t.
One night Celia dragged herself
home from the store to find not a
letter from Dorothy but a, letter from
the lawyer who managed her small
affairs. Something had failed some
where and her biggest security, was
lost. She did not understand bust
ness, but she understood that her 50
a week was the biggest prop that now
held between her n actual want.
The next day she tainted at her work.

A WITH A CLUB.

Colonel Roosevelt, being a combat
I've mar by nature, is of the opinion
that the way to secure peace is by
brandjshing a club. The moral which
he draws from the present wal Is that
we should strengthen our armament
all Corners. The results of that pol
icy are being somewhat conspicuously
shown In Europe Just now. Germany
has, without question. the largest and
finest army In the world. Yet the
possession Of that army, and the cul.
tivation of the military spirit and the
maintenance Of the fighting edge for
forty years has not suficed to keep
Germany out Of a war which will tax
its to the utmost, and out
Of which she will come. If a. victor,
broken in and ~impoverish-
ed in purse, and if vanqutshed, re-
duced perhaps permanently to a Sec
ondary place In the councils of Eu-
rope. Neither has the great German
army suf1ced to keep the other ma
lions out Of On the contrary,
two Of the things which have made
this war practically inevitable are the
great German army and the later Gre
alton, the great German navy. The
big armament does not prevent a
fight; 1t precipitates one. Granted
that so long as the insane military
spirit controls the nations. each must
play it's part in the dtabolical contest,
But the whole business is an abomin-
alton. and the sooner the nations
come to their senses and realize that
the way to prevent war is to discard
the habiliments OF war, and not to
keep piling them on.
