 America, MT. Straus said, was equal ly concerned in the worlds peace as the nations at war, and must take part in the reconstruction He declared the war had revealed the fact that there cannot be one standard of morals within a nation and a different and lower standard as between nations All the machinery that has been de- vised in the past for the maintenance of peace, he said, has been left to vol unteer efforts, hereafter the nations must at least put as much compelling force as has heretofore been put forth for the preparation of war.
 We must educate a new con- science" declared the speaker, which will put no geographical limitations upon right and justice. Civilized man must recognize that there is some thing more important than the indi- vidual, that that is the nation, and that there is something more important than the nation, and that is the world" :"

THE SMALL MERCHANT
 WILL WIN

The reputable mercantile interests of the country are expecting to find relief from the evils of cut-throat com petition indulged in by some of the big city stores and the mail order houses, through the Stevens bill, which ap- pears certain to pass the pres ent session of Congress.
 Edmond A. Whittier, sec retary of the American Fair Trade League, says that near ly 175 members of Congress have voluntarily declared that they will support the bill. The proprietors of two of the big geSt department stores in New York City have joined the ranks of the Stevens bill advocates within a week, and announce that they are tired and diSguSted with the dis honest methods by which trade is sought through cut ting prices on standard arti- cles of merchandise and then making it up" on inferior goods which are sold at prices far above their value.
 The sentiment among the congressman who have re- turned to Washington, clear ly indicates that they feel that the time has come for the federal government to help enforce responsibility in merchandising, in the interest of the consumer, and in the aid of the country merchant, who is being driven out by the mail order and catalogue houses. The evidence is all to the effect that the small merchant must do his busi- ness in a fair and square man. ner, in order to hold the pat ronage of the public.
 On the other hand, this same exacting public follows the lure of fictitious "bar- gains" and whether it be in his Christmas shopping, or at any other period of the year, the number of people who make their money at home and send away for goods, is constantly increasing.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condi- tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta- you nave rumbl1ng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the in hammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condi- tion of the mucous surfaces.

GAVE READING ROOMS
 10 EUROPEAN SOLDIERS
Associated Press)

BERLIN, Dec. 14.-Through the gen.
 erosity of Americans, eleven reading
 rooms and recreation halls for pri-
 soners of war have been erected in
 camps thoughout Germany. The av-
 craze cost of these buildings has been
 5000 ($1,500), but in many cases the
 camp commanders have added large sums from their personal fortunes in
 order that the libraries might be more ornate spacious.
 The conditions governing the gifts from the Americans have without ex-
 ception been such that none of the
 money might be expended for books,
 and it has been the task therefore (,
 the Committee for the Erection of
 Soldiers Homes in the East and South east, to gather literature of all kinds and send it, not only to the eleven
 halls, but also to the most extended trenches.
 On the German side at least the war has drawn in men from every walk of life, including students, teachers and others of very high degree of education. The literary demands from the front therefore have been extremely varied, and the book sup pliers have been put to it to lay their hands on technical works and other volumes.
 Between France, England and Ger many there has existed for some time a sort of working agreement by which books in the three languages are ex- changed for the benefit of the prison CTS of war in the three countries. Ne gotiations along the same line are now being conducted with Russia, shipment of 5000 volumes in Rus sian from the University of Warsaw is soon to be distributed among the Russian prisoners of war.
 The committee already has the names and addresses of 38, 900 German soldiers on the various fronts. with whom correspondence has been open ed pertaining to special books that are desired. As fast as it is possible to obtain the volumes they are forwarded to the trenches.
 A feature of the work is the so-call- ed wandering" libraries, containing books of all sorts for both officers and men, which are sent to one company, read, and sent on to another. There IS also number of so-called field | gray" books, which have gray paper covers and are adaptable to use in the | trenches
 The paper which goes into the liter ature for the front costs alone 10000 | marks per shipment, and the postage to another 5000 marks. The distribution is aided in part by wagons from the Emperor's stables, twenty of which carry loads of 800 volumes from point to point.
 Two Americans, Conrad Hoffmann and James B. Sprunger, are actively engaged in the work of supplying read ing for prisoners of war and for sol diers. They formerly were active in English camps and then came over to Germany to continue their work.
 The efforts of the committee to erect soldiers homes has resulted in the of IS buildings, at a cost of from three to five thousand marks apiece, where thousands of soldiers are cared for and given some of the creature comforts of home.

I'VE NEED THE MONEY

Solely, it is claimed, be- cause of the need of revenue
 in these abnormal times, and
 not as a confession. of the failure of the Democratic tariff law, the administration
 recently announced it's pur- pose to recommend to Con- gress the continuance of the present duty on sugar. In the administration circles there was instant approval to this suggestion when it was preached by Secretary Nc Adoo.
 he Republicans naturally favor the higher tax, and they are unkind enough to inti- mate that the election of a Progressive in Louisiana as a protest against the tariff law, has been in a measure responsible for the way in which the Democrats have been supporting the sugges- tion to restore the old duty on sugar.
 Senator Underwood tacitly agreed to replace the old rate, as soon as he had talked with the President. Senators My CTS and Walsh, of Montana; Maritime of New Jersey, Will Hams of Mississippi, Cham berlain of Oregon, and also Fletcher of Florida, were openly in favor of the sugges- ton from the outset; and it developed very shortly after most of the senators and rep resentatives arrived, that the Democrats would support President Wilson and his ad- viSerS in restoring the old sugar schedule.
 Of course this takes any particular credit that may be claimed, away from the Re- publicans, and while the lat ter are inclined to criticise somewhat, and to accuse the party in power with going back on it's principles, the re- tort is that the unusual con- ditions of the country have made it necessary to raise more money for public pur- poses.
 The Democrats say they are absolutely consistent as their policy always has been that of a tariff for revenue. Of course, a great many peo- pie insist that only the re- liners would be benefited by | free sugar-and perhaps right down in their boots many political leaders in botF parties, are convinced that this is another splendid req son for restoring the duty on

ITALY'S PART IN THE
 WAR

Premier Salandra made a speech at Turin the other day in which he said two words that summed up ltaly's pur- poses in the present Euro pean conflict national as- pirations." These two words are worth remembering by any one who wishes to, under stand Italy's role in the pres ent conflict, and how it diff fers from that of England, France, Russia and the other parties to the great struggle.
 Premier Salandra spoke at the moment the Balkan Situ- ation was absorbing the at- tention of the world, but he did not mention the Balkans.
 If Serbia or Belgium or Po- land had been uppermost in the public mind he doubtless would have passed that over too without mention, for the key note of Salandra and Italy in this war is not Bel gium or Serbia or the Balk- ans or any other altrulstic purpose, but always and dis tinctly the fulfillment of Italy's national aspirations"
 This policy of seizing the present moment, when all Europe is at war, for realizing ltaly's aspirations, has swept aside old parties and leaders and brought new ones on the stage. It has given a name to a new party, the National ist, which is an extreme sec tion of this policy of realizing ltaly's national aspirations, and it has founded a news paper in Rome, the Idea Nazionale, whose name again procfaims this fundamental idea of Italian policy, the real ization of national aspira- tions. None of the Entente powers had any distinct na- tional aspirations leading them to enter the war, and they were moved considera- ply by humanitarian and al- truistic ends. And that is where ltaly's policy differs from all the others, as she is in this war chiefly to realize her national aspirations. 1
 First and foremost of these @snirationS is to get back taly'S two lost provinces in r2 north-Trent in the west, and the rich strategic country north of Venice, sweeping around the head of the Adri- atic down to Trieste. These TWO provinces are the Alsace "3 Lorraine of Italy.

H|GHbALLS ON

Deputy Sheriff Lucius Harvey has
returned from his trip to Meridian

bring back Jim Fitzgerald, baseballist,
wanted in Americas upon a warrant
charging larceny after trust in the
alleged appropriation Of handsome
gold watch and ring, the property of a

Times Recorder, Sheriff Harvey miss
ed his man, who had been let out Of
Jail on bond three or four hours prev
ious to his arrival.
The bond had been assessed by a

Fitzgerald's appearance when the
Georgia officer arrived in Meridian
But, of course, he never came back.
The sheriff there, it is said, know
nothing of the bond fixed up in the
justice court for a prisoner wanted in
Georgia. The whole affair there
seems wholly irregular, and the re-
suit is, doubtless, that Fitzgerald will
not be apprehended again, although
his home is in Meridian, where his
mother resides.
The pawned watch and gold ring
have been located, it is said and viii
be restored to the fair owner.
