WHEN THE REAL FIGHTING BEGINS.

The desperate fighting at Liege in struggle
merely preliminary to the war as yet hardly begun
shows what the world has to expect when the vast
masses of troops now marching and concentrating
into collision.
Belgium is combatant simply in defense of her
territory from violation. The Germans fighting
the Belgians only to open the way to get at the
French French soil They merely trying to clear
the path for their armies debouchng the from
tiers of France
The last European in which masses of troops
we're engaged that of the FrancoPrussian war in
1870 and the world the spectacle of hundreds of
thousands of engaged in battle the surrender of
Metz with its immense garrison, and finally the sur
render of the French emperor and all his forces This
great drama is about to be repeated on much
larger scale in France, and with yet unknown re-
suits.
But in Eastern Europe equally great war
drama yet begun. The operations reported on
the Danube comparatively trivial Russia is slow
getting action with her innumerable batalions,
but their approach the Austrian and German from
tiers and the massing of Austrians and Germans
there to oppose them brings nearer every day a
conflict in which several millions of will be
engaged. The world is yet only the of
the general war; and its tremendous shocks will be
felt beyond the confines of civilization.

WORKING UP STATE POLITICS.

South Jersey day at Sea Girt yesterday showed
that despite the absorbing public interest in the Euro
pean the politicians none the less intent upon
the nominations and primaries and the battle of the
ballots in November
From Sussex to Cape May the candidates &C
tive and the Sea Girt gatherings inadequatey repre-
sent their interest. Besides the twelve Congressman
there are eight Senator's sixty Assemblymen and
county and municipal officers to be elected
including seventeen sheriffs
With this multiplicity of offices to be filled there
is much greater number of candidates for the pr-
mary nominations. full list of the candidates for
nomination would probably fill a newspaper page.
For the Assembly alone the total would exceed FIVE
hundred.
All of these candidates political missionaries.
They go about stirring up interest in the primaries
and elections The many political clubs in the State
likewise engaged in this missionary work, while
State and county committees also are in action 1t
won't be the fault of the candidates. the clubs the po
tcal committees and the State and local leaders If
the September primaries not well attended.

money, silver dollars, for instance.

AUGUST
Princess Amelia

AUGUST 8
Princess Amelia
Copyrighted 1914.
BIZ MARY MARSHALL.

The patron for today is Princess
Amelia, the fifteenth and youngest
child Of George III. of England.
The story of this English princess
is touching In the extreme. She was
born shortly after the death OF two
little brothers, who had been delicate
throughout their short lives. She was
herself always delicate. And for this
reason and because of the death of
her two small brothers, she was the
object of constant attention. Her
father was especially fond of her, and
so was Miss Fanny Burney, the first
lady in waiting to the queen, who
gained fame later on as novelist.
The little girl, perhaps, took advan-
tage of the petting and attention she
received. For she made her father
play with her, and she refused to go
to bed unless poor Miss Burney, al
ready overloaded with difficult court
duties, put her to bed. But the little
princess loved all her friends with
deep devotion, and it Is said that when
she was only three years old she used
to pray each night for those that were
i'll.
She grew into a happy young girl
She was always delicate, but she
found strength enough to enjoy many
normal girlish pastimes. She became

NO EUROPEAN WAR IN NEWARK.

Newark has cosmopolitan population abiding to-
gether in entire peace and harmony. Men of diff
ferent European nationalites work with each other
in many employments. In every large factory the
employees represent various races of Europe The
employees of city of all nationalities Among
our business find Germans, Austrians, French
men, Italians Britishers, Russians, Greeks and ma
tves of other countries.
Nearly all of these people are American citizens
only among the aborng class do we find aliens, and
those who intend to make this country their home
will take out naturalization papers. Why should the
war in Europe set nationality against another in
our city? Why should there he any offensive demon
sraton by people of nationality to provoke an
other? And again, why should anything of the kind
be tolerated?
Nothing of the kind has yet been attempted and
no public oense has been given. This is to the credit
of Newark's foreign born Men Of all the nationali-
ties that involved in the in Europe have pre-
served calm demeanor amid all the excitement and
indictments of the daily They have gone
about their daily affairs and discussed the war news
IN private.
1t is evident 1owever that this calmness in the
face of the awful Europe is partly due to
the stupefaction with which everybody in the United
States regards the astounding situation in Europe
People realize that such situation exists 1t
seems to be a nightmare which must be relieved
of tomorrow 1t paralyzes the mind with its awful
ness But as the vast drama unfolds and its
horrors are magned people will realize what is hap
pening and emotion will have its play.
In American cities this natural feeling cannot be
suppressed but it be kept in bounds. Neutral in
the great war cannot afford to have 1t fought out
in American communities. The obligation upon our
nation rests also upon the State the municipality
and people, and they should join in keeping en-
tirey that might be construed as SYM
pathy for any combatan that may array one class
of the population against another and cause public
disorders

SOCIALISM AND THE WAR.

The Socialists of Europe and America opposed
to all under any circumstances That is part of
their creed They will not acknowledge that any
international dispute arise that be settled
as disputes between individuals settled by reason
and justice.
There are about four millions of Socialists in
Germany and they all supposed to subscribe to
the declarations of their party. In the sudden and
tragca rush of events in Europe socialism seems to
be submerged.
But this of monarchs will make Socialists.
The dreadful misery and anguish which to be
imposed on the masses in Europe will make an impress
on their minds that will be neffaceable In France
socialism is powerful political organization 1t is
voiceess in the presence of a German invasion
But France is republic and every Frenchman believes
that the national defence is sacred right and duty
the less will socialism be strengthened in France
by the war.
And who that believes the nations were not
created slaughter each other in the quarrels of
kings and potentates fail to sympathze with the
socialistc creed of abhorrence of war?

The late Preston B. Plumb, who
was three times elected by the KAN
sas Legislature to the United States
Senate, was sometimes spoken of by
his colleague in the Senate, William
P. Frye, of Maine, as in many re-
spects an ideal United States sena-
tor.
Senator Plumb was striking sim
plicity of life. He was one of the
first of those who ventured to depart
from the precedent established many
years ago which fixed the dress
which a senator should wear when he
appeared upon the floor OF the Sen
ate.
Senator Plumb preserved constantly,
and probably intentionally. the APP
pearance of democratic simplicity.
He was conspicuous by reason of his
flowing red whiskers, his large head
and the fact that no one in the Sen
ate ever saw him idle. He allowed
himself but a modicum Of sleep. His
friends were persuaded that he was
overtaxing his physical and mental
strength and at the time of his
death, which occurred when he was
serving in his third term, the impress
sion commonly prevailed among his
senatorial colleagues that 1t vas at
tributable to his excessive work.
Senator Plumb greatly interested me
because l never saw him when he APP
peared to be listening to another SEN
ator, although his occasional re-
quests for permission to ask ques-
ton made it clear that, busy as he
was, his ears took in everything that
was spoken Another characteristic
of the senator which interested me
was his daily habit of littering the
floor around his desk with news
papers. He seemed to possess tho
somewhat rare faculty of taking In
the meaning of an editorial or alb
sorbing the gist of column Of writ
ten words at single glance. 1t is
a faculty which Charles A. Dana

JTALY,s POSITION.

The crucial situation in the alignment of Europe
is presented by the attitude of Italy. which, although
member of the Triple Alliance. has proclaimed her
neutrality and thus seriously compromised the care
fully laid plans of the German emperor,
To every intelligent observer of events in Europe
it has been difficult to how Italy could keep aoof
from the war, and at the same time how she could
without imperiling the Italian monarchy fulfill her
obligations as a member of the alliance. The convic-
ton has grown that If forced to decide between the
two alliances Italy will join France, England and
Russia. Therefore an unconfrmed Evening Sun dis
patch yesterday stating that Italy had declared war
against Germany got ready credenee.
Probably only Russia could engage in war
against the almost universal objections of her sub

Fishing for Airships

its supporting wire through its meet
ing an airship. Such detection must
occur whenever there Is contact be-
tween the laterally moving, pendant
wire and an airship, except only in
the highly improbable case where the
wire and the attached airship are
moving in the same direction at SUBJ
stantially the same speed, when ex-
plosion can be caused by pulling the
wire.
Aeroplanes equipped with such de-
vices would be a menace to airships,
magazines, sheds, ships in repair and
under construction. Airships that
are equipped with larger devices of
this type might play havoc with sea
and land forces, particularly at night,
and might attack and destroy an
enemys airships and hangers, docks,
magazines, ships, and terrorize very
generally. There would be slight
means of defense against such air
ships except fast aeroplanes armed
with guns or similar devices.
