question Of how much It takes to be
correctly gowned has puzzled the feml-
nine world There are several time
honored theories in regard to economy
in dress that for the girl who wishes to
achieve true distinction and smartness
are mere failacies
One Is the overrated Importance OF
tailored made to- order suits. How
many mediocre little tailors are sup
ported by this popular belief is beyond
computing-tailors who turn out a
grade of work inferior in cut and ma
terIal to what its cost would command
In any good shop, but over which is the
halo Of "made to order"
Another popular means by which the
girl thinks to save money is to trim her
own hats Rarely does the homemade
hat look a ything but homemade. Then
frequently in the end IL is not cheap.
Often one spends far more than she
realizes for a shape here, trimming
there under the mistaken belief that
she is practicing economy.

KEEP COOL"

Merchants, bankers, editors, lawyers
doctors, and many others are offering
the farmers fine line of advice on the
subject of keeping eool-not getting
excited.
1t is a good sign when everybody is
interested in the welfare of everybody
else. A lot of the advice the farmers
get is good advice and they will profit
by it. Some of it, on the other hand,
is visionary and impracticable.
The best course for the farmer to
follow Is likely to come to him as a re-
suit of his own good hard thinking an
planning. Meanwhile, some of our
farmers might, in all good humor, sug-
gest plans whereby merchant, banker,

The attempt to get footing in Mex

the desire to know what part of the

not above being watched.
1t is true that Japan does not want
the whole earth; she wants only the
Pacific Ocean. If England will help
her to become mistress of the Pacific,
then Japan will, for the time being,
concede to the British the right to con-
troll the Atlantic.

what they term the pigs, the gringoes.
Their insults to any Americans that
remain in Mexico will be redoubled in
number and vileness.
In every part of Mexico the officials
will grow more overbearing and more
insolent to all foreigners, and those
who desire popular approval will seek
it through their oppressive measures
against them.
The evacuation of Vera Cruz, the ut
ter abandonment of any effort to pro-
tect our citizens or their interests in
Mexico cannot fail to produce a most
serious crisis in the relations of this
country and Mexico in the near future
1t is a grave error; one that will be
followed speedily by evil results.
Sir Lionel Garden before sailing on
the Celtic, on the 10th instant, is re-

The advancement of Villa after the
murder of enBton, the Scotchman
when Great Britain was flounted and
the United Hates sneered at by the
bandit, appealed strongly to the ignor-
ant poems of Mexico, and his recent
declaration that the United States oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz was a humilia-
ton to eMxicans, now followed by AL
order for that evacuation from those
whom he sneered at and defed, will
convince the Mexican masses that the
grinugoes are cowardly and afraid OF
them, and they will give full vent To
their antagonisms.

MORE WAR IN SIGHT

Obviously any exchange of views II
Europe as to making peace would be
fruitless at this time None of the
fighting nations has anything to gain
by suing for peace. None of them has
been beaten, and none of them has
gained such advantage as to make it
satisfied. A decisive defeat administer
ed to any of the great armies might
give rise to a demand for peace among
the epople of the losing nation, but
even such a sentiment might not bring
an end to the war. 1t takes two sides
to make peace, as well as to make war
Just at present indications are that
the area of war will be extended, ratn-
er than contracted. The Italian people
are becoming more insistent upon war
against Austria, and conditions are
such that any slight incident might
precipitate hostilities. Russian in
fluences are at work in Italy, squirting
the people toward war. Similarly, Ger
man influences are operating in Tur-
key, and armed forces of Turks and
Russians are facing each other, anx-
ious for a scrimmage

EngIand's Strength Europe's
Hope
macon Telegraph

macon Ielegrapn.)
According to peace-loving SECRETARY
Bryan, militarism is dying and the
commissions through which Europe Is
lassing are its death throes." Hover
er that may be, militarism now seems
to have a bad name even among its
most afflicted victims. The British AMI
French have announced that they are
fighting to destroy German militarisnl.
The Germans say that the vicious mill
itarismaof France and Russia must De
made to perish from the earth. The
Russians denounce German and AIS
trian militarism as a menace to the
peace of the world.
With militarism-that of the other
fellow-so generally condemned, there
is room for the hope that some portion
of it will be rendered harmless, tenn
porarily at least. And so Mr.. Bryan'3
optimism would appear to have basis,
attenuated though it be.
The response to pacific suggestions
from Washington, however, do not
encourage the expectation of an early
consummation. Nobody knows what
Russia wants or ultimately aims at, but
England and France frankly ask for
time, if not to destroy German milit-
arism, at least to clip its wings and put
it into a hospital. And this much it
really seems desirable for England and
France to do, in the interest of Ell
ropes future peace.
1t seems desirable for England and
France to come out of the conflict
stronger than ever, for Germany to
come out of it considerably weakened
in military sense and for Russia to
come out it it without any extension of
her western boundaries.
These were dark days when the Ger
mans were hewing a path irresistibly
toward Paris when it looked as if the
French and English would be unable
to check the Teuton advance and when
it appeared that the triumph must he
either Germany's or Russia's; for
great triumph for either the one or thu
other-a decisive voice for either the
one or the other in Europe's future
would be likely to involve far-reaching
calamity so far as the safeguarding If
free institutions and the checking Of
militarisms march are concerned.
The sane-minded observer wishes
the allies to win, but does not want
Russia to be in position to dictate the
peace or to insist on expanding her
own boundaries westward. The fear
that Russia would be far in the lead
of the allies at the elimination was as
depressing as the fear that Germany
might succeed and become the all
dominating power in Europe.
Happily the tide has turned and the
French and English have been able to
drive back the Teuton invaders. Let
US hope that this will mean-after
continuing additions to the British
forces-that England and France, the
countries of freedom, are to have the
determining voice in the final adjust
ment, just as rejecting observers have
earnestly wished from the outset.
The English are not without faults,
and the Slavs are likely to have their
day sooner or later, but the enlighten-
ed American can not fail to wish to
see England remain the stronger pow
err in Europe as a check upon both
Germany and Russia.

WHY SUGAR IS HIGH

The present high price Of sugar in
this country has been blamed on the
people who wickedly raised the price
Of -four. With sugar, however, it is diff
ferent. At the beginning of the war the
supply Of sugar available for the Amer,
lean market was scarcely sufficient TO
meet the demand until the new crop
begins to come in. England has been
getting most of her sugar from Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. Cut of
from this supply, she turned to New
York and within a few days bought one
hundred tons of our visible supply.
The nations of Europe, now at wa,
produce 100000 tons of sugar-forty-
five per cent Of the worlds supply.

On the face of it this loks as if some

protocol originated in England. Is
England afraid Russia is going to lay
downs arms and sue for peace? Is
France sick of bloodshed in her own
domain?
Just now, this war is hurting Franz .
worse than it is hurting England and
Russia. If England should prove to be
unable to help France to victory, it
seems almost inhuman to require the
PROSTATE nation to sign an agreement
to fight on against odds.
At all events, this protocol bears, on
