STAATS-ZEITUNG'S VIEW OF WAR

Herman Ridder editor of the New York StaatsZeitung
and the abest German American editor of the country
shares the sympahes of his millions of compatrio in this
country for the Fateand in the present crisis, but sym
paty not binding his broader OF regret and dis
approval which the knowledge of wrong usually exctes in
the minds of wise and upright men.
I'VE know, he says, that great wrong is being COM
mitted Each side has portion of the logic measure OF
excuse but neither has monopoly of the right
Murder in small way the right Of one individual to take
the life of another in personal quarrel has been practically
stamped out but murder on wholesale plan has been
attempted such grand scale Let not the nations in
volved call for justice for justice meed out by the
divine hand and each nation receive its just deserts each
would pay heavy price for its folly.
The wonder of it is that in this year OF 1914 it should be
at all"
These plain words reveal that Herman Ridder has the
course of conscience. 1t is impossible for to restrain

The purely physical or brutal aspects OF conflict excite

who have not the racial interest in the present that Mr.
Ridder and other German nAmericans naturally FEEL
1t is we'll, however, to remember that great wrong is

guage contains word capable of conveying the nconcev
able dimensions of this infamous crime against civilization
From the beginning of hosities not great principle
nor lofty ideal has been shown to have operated call
ing the nations of Europe into conflict
The fact OF the matter is and history will record it.
the nations of Europe have been ready for generation
They have been armed to the teeth and it inevitable
that the test of strength should come.
For this exataon of brutal power only the princes and
mobiles to blame The and women who have wrought
the wonderful fabric of European civilization have sought

dreaded it. They naturally peaceovng homeoving

When the deadlock of this war shall have been reached

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION,

Each week brings fresh proof of the
stability of our finances. We have
weathered the storm Wonderfully well
so far. Henry Clews, in his current
letters, says the business community
in New York and elsewhere has met
the shock far better than Anticipated
Of course, there is much confusion
especially In import and export circles
arising from the decentralization of the
foreign exchange market This is
abating somewhat each day and the
financing of imports and exports is
becoming less and less difficult
though the end of trouble is by no
means in sight There is now no
longer lack of transportation to
countries with which international
commerce is possible. Exports OF
wheat have been upon a more liberal
scale, and are likely to continue at
high prices. this staple having already
shown very violent fluctuations.
In cotton, copper and some other in
dustries, the outlook is not so encour-
aging; but on the whole, there is
much cause for rejoicing

For Sailow, Blotchy,
Rough or Greasy Skins

Some skins require constant groom
ing to keep them from becoming oily,
muddy, blotchy or rough, or if such
conditions has developed, to overcome
it. In such chronic cases it is par
ticularly inadvisable to keep piling on
cosmetics which clog the pores, COL
lect dust and dirt, making the COM
pleXion worse than ever. It's lot
more sensible to use ordinary mer-
colized wax. which literally absorbs
a bad complexion Apply the wax,
like cold cream, before retiring; next
morning. in washing it off, you'll
wash away fine, flour like particles
of the unsightly cuticle Repeat for
a week or two and you'll have an en-
tirely new slin-soft, satiny, spotless
and beautiful as a child's. one ounce
of mereolized wax, procurable at any
druggists, is all you'll need
