MEDITaTIONs AND CONCLUSIONS.

You have done some serious
mental stocktaking since the bottom
fell out of European civilization, have
ycu not?
Did you read how the erstwhile
ribald French youths hurried TO
church before starting for the front
and poudly boosted that they had
done so?
And you have read almost daily of
late how serious and sober all the
capitals and other large cities OF
Europe have become.
War, the destroyer, at least begets
thought. II makes us take our bear
ings afresh. 1t forces questions and
questionings to mind. II flashes
before us stern realities. 1t produces
sensations akin to those experienced
by the citizens of San Francisco when
the earth began to give way and open
up under their feet, says b. G..
Forbes, in the New York American.

A POSSIBILITY OF WAR.

II is argued that in event of defea;
of the German army by the Allies,
Emperor William may take fight to
the United States to spend the re-

News of London comments on the
situation as follows:
mo doubt the defeat of Germany
means for the Kaiser either death at
his own or somebody else's hands, or
else flight to a n~on-teutonic soil.
Ever since Germany began to
make preparations for ,an attack on
Belgium, France. Holland. England
and ultimately, the United States, the
Kaiser has been investing immense
sums on the other side of the Allan
tic. He is one of the largest land
owners in western states. not in his
cwn name, of course He owns con-
siderable sections of property in west
Canada.
These enormous investments in
American indicate very plainly that
the Kaiser at the time ne was pre-
pairing to stake the fortunes of his
dynasty upon an ate mpt at the con-
quest of west Europe. also was pre-.
pairing for the possibility of failure
by consolidating his huge financial re.
sources in the United States and the
Dominion In case he had to escape

l.. l.. LEWIS DEFENDS KAISER.

Any one who knows the dramatic
circumstances under which the En-
preror William signed the declara-
ton of war must necessarily agree
with the Germans that they are not
the aggressors. according to Liston
l.. Lewis, a lawyer of New York City,
who returned home in the Holland
American liner Potsdam, says the
New York American.

Galicia, during the dark days just
before the beginning of hostilities,
said Mr.. Lewis. I'm fact, We took
the last train which left Galica. We
passed through Mysolowitz. which is
situated at the juncture of the Ger
man, Austrian, and Russian frontier;
and t~wenty-four hours later the
bridge over which we crossed was
blown up. When we reached Breslau
we found the city in a panic, and we
therefore hurried on to Berlin. where
we arrived on the day that war was
formally declared.

The dancers exhibition lasted a

In these agonizing days the curtain

The awful drama causes soul-stir-

There is a %tendancy, a temptation.

1t is a timely warning against the
warfare on business which has been
going on at Washington ever since
R~oosevelt's administration.
We are in a time of stress and of

boiling with activity"
OF what advantage are these
splendid opportunities without capt.
tal? Heretofore, Europe has invest
ed its surplus in our enterprises be-
cause they yielded a profit. Now We
must depend on ourselves. Let us
give capital free play and a fair OPP
portunity and watch the results. Let
us take our hands off business and
give it relief instead of prosecution,
and capital, which has been driven
away, will De provided for the great
emergency.
1t has just been discovered that
the Sherman Law not only forbids
combinations in restraint of trade
between the states but with foreign
nations and 1t is proposed that the
law be so amended as to strike out

YOUNG MILLIONAIRE'S
 WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE
AUGUST BELMONT GIVES TESTl- MoNY IN THE CASE, SHOWING
 SONS SPENDING.

New York March 27-August Bel mont, witness today for his son Raymond, who is being sued for sep aration by Ethel Lorraine Belmont. appealed to the court to protect him from the rapid fire of questions of Edward Mooney, counsel for young Belemonts wife.
 Mir Belmont said Olere was noth- ing wrong with his sons intellect. He said he had been in the habit of pay ing all his sons bills, but that the amounts were charged to his sons account The father admitted that he recently had sent $2,500 to Sir Badhe Cunard, whom his son is visit sent the money under an arrangement made when Raymond left New York.
 Previous testimony for young Bel mont had tended to show that he had dissipated his fortune and having no reason to expect help from his faith CT was in a position to pay only mea- ger alimony His lawyers contended that out of $143,000 he has only $11,. )00 left.
 Mir Belmont denied he ever told his son that no matter what happened he always would be provided with an allowance of $S,000 year
 Counsel for the plaintiff later es- tablished through testimony given by Mr. Belmont that in December, 1913, after Raymond Belmont returned frow Europe, $21S05 had been transferred from an expense account to the lat ter's personal debit account
 DO you intend to urge that debt?" asked Mooney of MT. Belmont
 Yes" replied the witness
 Objection by the defense saved MT. Belmont from being forced to state whether this transfer had been made so that the sum named would be de- ducted in arriving at the defendants means in determining the amount of alimony
 An accountant who had examined the books of the senior Belmont testi. aied that the expenses of uhe youn. | man since Nov 21, 1912. the day of the wedding, had been $16,243, ex. elusive of s10000 counsel fee growing out of the present action. |
