II Europe cuts down her purchases

our exports will fall OF. that our
mills will shut downe and that there
will be long business depression

up her losses and again gets on her
feet.
II. on the other hand, In order to
adjust this balance. we greatly in

this will give our mills less to do.

Although czars. emperors. and
even our own patriotic societies en-
deavor to make the people OF the dif.
ferent countries believe that they
are not brothers one OF another, yet
these efforts are of no avail when II
comes to the nnal settlement. Eco
nomic laws recognize neither boun-
dairy lines nor race prejudice. In
the eyes Of economic law we are all
brothers one Of another, whether
Germans. Englishmen. Russians or
Americans.
Why In the world we don't have
sense enough to recognise this is
more than can understand. As we
must share the losses with our Euro
pean brothers. after the war is over,
why don't we have sense enough
now to rise incur might and urge
that the fight be stopped?

Senator Jouett Shouse's bill provid-

blind students in schools of higher
education in Kansas, will be sent back
to the senate with the approval OF the

allows $500 each to blind students en-
