THE RUDENEss or READINESS.


The expedition with which the bel
hgerent nations Of Europe have put
full-hedged war in operation is mar
velous to the American mind. which
regards armed conflict as the most re-
mote Of possibilities.
The record OF what has been accom-
piished in thirty days passes compre-
hensioE and but for the unmistakable
evidences would exceed belief. Five
or six millions Of soldiers have been
placed in the field and several OF these
millions have been engaged in battle,
one nation has been reduced and
trampled upon. four have been
invaded and the capital of one OF these
is now threatened with capture. the
dead and wounded run into six figures
and the devastation and destruction,
the misery and. distress are appalling
All within the short space OF thirty
days:

but in the absence OF something better
war is one of the factors with which
the business of Europe is conducted.
The something better would be the es-
tablishment between the powers Of

their foolish competition the nations
OF Europe have forced themselves into

them sleeping on their arms ready

Is HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?
We have all read with more or less
interest of the fight between the Bel
gians and the Germans; and an old
we'll seasoned lawyer of this city, who
taught the passing generations OF
South Bend-his last students are now
grand parents-caqs our attention 10
a certain book we fondly remember.
known as the Military Memoirs of
we'll known Italian" the late Senior c.
J. Caesar, who wrote about MS exploits
while he was leading the Roman ar
mics up into Gaul. and also was a
candidate for consul down at Rome.
After describing how all Gaul was
divided into three halves-this is the
best translation we can make at this
time,--and describing the three halves
he says, "horum Omnium fortisimi
stunt Belgai." and here our Latin
drops, but the late Senior Caesar went
on 10 say that all this was because
/, they were the farthest away from the
Roman province, and that merchants
and traders didn't get up there very
often (this is a very free translation,
but the old lawyer vOuches for IT'D and
bring those things which sort of used
them up, probably fire water; and now
listen: They were next 10 the Ger
mans who dwelt across the Rhine with
whom they waged continual war"

deavor TO travel the pons asinOrum of

who regretted that Senior Caesar didn't
meet his friend Senator Brutus and
his associates before the aforesaid

Senior Caesar; and through the kindly
efforts Of the late Mr.. Mansfield, and

WE can be certain Of few things in
this life. The original list of certain
ties contained only two items, taxes
and death. We place them in chrome
logical order, as death has never yet
succeeded ia beating taxes. To these
have been added something. but for
the moment we have forgotten what
1t is. Perhaps it will occur 10 you.
BUT. as we were about to remark
there are few things we can be certain
Of in this life. For example, the other
day we were informed that the Ger
mans had taken 30, 600 Russian pris-
oners. For emphasis the statement
was repeated in successive editions.
Now we are informed that the Rus
SLAMS, and not the Germans and Aus
TRANS took the 10000 prisoners. OF
course in armies running up into the
millions 20, 600 prisoners is a small
matter, but there is the principle of
the thing, and we don't know yet who
got the prisoners.
BEFORE reverting to other mat
ters it might be relevant to remark
that the much abused term. battle
royal, is being eXemplified in the Eu-
ropean arena. To illustrate: Germany
makes a pass at France. Belgium in
tercepts the blow and strikes back.
England jumps on Germany for
smashing Belgium. France mixes in
and hands Germany what she has,
small as il is. IL all started from Aus
tria trying 10 step on Servia, but Ser
via wouldn't be stepped on and yelled
for Russia. Then Russia kicked Ger
many in the pants and landed a pivot
blow on Austria. Germany wants
Italy to get in as Italy agreed, but
Italy sidesteps and is still sidestepping;
but Turkey, always looking for
trouble with Russia, is rolling up her
sleeves and while she is doing it
Greece spits on her hands, Some
where in the melee are Roumania and
the others. Uncle Sam sits in a ring
side seat and is a little uneasy lest a
stray blow lands on him That is a
battle royal. The only other place a
battle royal can be seen is at cock
fight

THE ONLY GREAT PRODUCING

George w. Perkins of New York
declares that we are entering on an
era of great prosperity. The pres
ent uncertain business conditions, ."
he says. will pass away as soon as
we are able to adjust ourselves to the
new conditions caused by the Eu-
ropean war.
Wholly true. We are now passing
through d period Of temporary ad-
justment 10 new conditions. Whether
IL will. be long or short depends on
how active we are.
No nation in the world could be eX-
pected TO be completely prepared for
conditions such as confront us at
present No nation could possibly
have anticipated the present almost
incredible situation.
However, the adjustment is pro-
ceeding satisfactorily on the whole.

We must remember that it has
been only about a month since war
began. Within that month the main
problems which confront the country

been clearly sifted and at least put in
the way of proper solution.
once this process OF adjustment is
complete prosperity will follow ire

by Mr. Perkins that this country
Will be the only great producing ma

There's no way Of disputng the

AUSTRIA SHOWN WEAK
BY AMERICAN CONSUL

Washington, July 29.-The govern
ment made public last night a remark
ably significant report from Charles
DENLY, American consul general at Vi
emma, picturing Austria-Hungary as in
weak commercial, industrial and ag-
ricultural condition for a war Aus
tria-Hungary, he says, appears to have
been more seriously affected by the
war conditions than any other power
not actually engaged.
Mr. DENLY says that in addition to
the large enlistment of young men in
the army emigration of 1913 was I'M
usually heavy owing to the poor har-
vests in Galicia. He says 1t is esti-
mated that more than l per cent OF
the total population was removed from
productive pursuits by army enlist
ments and emigration.
The textile industry of Austria-Hun-
gary" says the DENLY report, has
been most seriously affected by sew
eral years of hard times.
"A feature of the first Importance IN
Austria-Hungary's foreign trade is the
Balkan market The Balkans are not
only the source of supply of much of
the raw materials and provisions that
enter into Austro-Hungarian COM
merce, but form the most important
market for many of Austria-Hungary s
manufactured goods"
