Stories of the War
Kaiser DESIGNS Monument.

The German emperor recently
sketched a design for a monument
which is to be erected in the former
French town of ST. Quentin to the
memory of the dead in the present
war. The story of what led to this is
given in the German papers as fol-
lows:
THE Germans, on occupying st.
Quentin, found very fine monument
to the French soldiers fallen in 1871,
by the side of which a plain memorial
tablet in honor of the German dead OF
the same year formed rather undlg-
nified contrast. The military ofnclals
therefore decided to have another mon
ument erected, this time to the dead or
1914-15, which, however, is to be com
mon to both French and Germans. The
local city councillors offered to bear
half the cost and a Charlottenburg
artist, Professor Wandschaelder, was
charged with drawing the design. The
artist sent in three designs and the
emperor came down from the main
headquarters specially to view them.
He found them unsatisfactory. He
wanted a richer design. He himself
indicated the leading idea-an open
temple hall in Etruscan form, in the
background-the memorial wall with
the names of the dead, and on either
side, on the right and on the left
German and a French soldier stand
ing as guards of, honor. The obvious
objection to this plan was that the
figure of the German soldier may later
on. perhaps, be damaged by fanatical
chauvinists bereft of the high and
noble ideas of the emperor, who, in a
truly German spirit, was prepared to
honor the brave foe as much as the
victor. Thereupon the emperor dec1d-
ed: Let the warriors be equipped in
an antique fashion, In the course OF
the next few days the emperor made
two sketches expressing his idea and
sent them to Professor WandSchaeIder
with the express remark, however,
that he need not, so far as details were
concerned. feel himself in the least tied

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

One of the most important results
Of the Pan-American conferences in
this country is the manner in which
it has been indicated that the conn
tries Of South America have been
thinking on some of the important
problems which concern them, not
only in the affairs of the western
hemisphere, but in the congress of. the
nations. From the Colombian delegate
came the presentation of the idea
of making Monroeis1n a doctrine tn
which all the countries in the two
Americas should subscribe Instead of
having only this country promoting
and defending it's provisions. IT was
an excellent and timely PROPOSAL and
equally so is that of the Argentine
delegation which gives support to the
idea, of an international court for the
adjustment of all commercial dis
putes.
This is the outcome of the plan
which has been advocated from time
to time of having boards named in the
various countries for the handling Of
just such questions. It is even a, step
in advance for by the establishment
of an international court there would
be overcome one Of the serious oh
jections to the idea tnasmuch as such
q court would have a much better
standing than would any board which
might be created to operate under the
judicial systems which some of the
countries maintain. Established on
an international basis, however. it
would serve the purposes desired
without embracing the faults.
Evidence is furnished, not only
through these, but through other sug-
gestions as well. that the conference
is capable Of excellent results. and
it indicates furthermore the growing
Importance and advancement of the
republics in South America. Better
relationship between the Americas is
likewise foreboded.

THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

In the selection of candidates upon

ing men who are fully qualified for
the positions which they will hold if
elected. They have been selected in
the interest of good government and

of every e1ector regardless of party

securing for the city the best possible

Two well known citizens head the
ticket for aldermen. Casper K. Bailey

city needs. Their integrity is urques-

to the Office the experience and com
mendable record of two years in the

For the purpose of obtaining infor-

wireless telegraphy is of course in

Now, if thirty of these ships are used

their vision is enormous, and it would
be almost impossible for a fleet to
pass unobserved. Immediately any OF
the ships sight the enemy's squadron

PRzEmVsL,s SECOND FALL.

The second fall of Przemysl, one of
the important keys to the Hungarian
province of GalfcIa. is even more I'M
portant from a military standpoint
than was the first. both as to time
and method in which it was accom-
plished. Tremendous advantage was
given to Russia when after many long
weeks of weary waiting the Austrian
garrison was forced to surrender
through lack of supplies. Starvation
did effective work in that siege and
Hungary was threatened as at no
other time since the war broke out.
Russia pushed rapidly ahead, but the
fnassing of large forces of Germans
and Austrians in drive into that
section has not only checked that
danger, but It has resulted in the re-
covery Of valuable lost territory and

Camp for German Aliens.

An internment camp for German
aliens maintained by the Seamen's
union of London for members of that
trade union is unequal The camp,
called Estcote camp, is located near
Ellsworth, and the war office has Moth
ing TO do with it. It occupies an at
tractive 60-acre estate and houses
about 500 aliens. After the war the
union intends to make a home for ma
rineS.
Twenty seven acres of the property
are enclosed by a high fence erected
by the government, and the govern
Inent allows the union $3.50 a week for
each man interned The huts and
buildings, mostly of brick and stone,
have been erected and equipped by the
inmates, all of whom are Seamen, and
mostly members of the union. The
camp is guarded by nine members OF
the county constabulary, but the guard
is mainly perfunetory. The camp is
technically place of detention, but the
detention is to a great extent voluT1-
tary. There is little to prevent any
man escaping if he wants to, but as a
matter of fact only one prisoner has
escaped. He was captured some time
later, but the camp authorities refused
to take him back and he was interned
elsewhere.
The inmates, being mostly old sail
ors, rather enjoy their confinement.
They have plenty to eat, nothing to do,
and plenty of elbow room. There is an
interesting little model port in the
grounds, with model ships of all kinds,
both liners and warships, with model
wharves, piers, cranes and other equip
ment. The inmates show great in
genuity in adding to this. They also
do a great deal of work in the gardens
and are now engaged in digging large
swimming pool in the estate.

RELIEF TO BUSINESS.

The unanimous decision which has
been handed down by the United
States district court of New Jersey in
the federal suit brought against the
, United States Steel corporation under
the Sherman antitrust law is in favor
of big business and instead of grant
ing the Injunction sought and caus-
ing any further upset in the bust
ness conditions as they exist today,
it is bound to operate as a stabilizer
and indicate a period in which some
Of the uncertainties that have existed,
will be eliminated. The decision is of
much Importance to the business
world though it is still subject to
an appeal to the highest. court.
1t is pointed out in the decision that
the price fixing meetings were illegal
but that inasmuch as these had STOP
ped before the suit was brought they
did not constitute a cause for inter-
ference on the part of the court It
is even to be believed that other in
dications of proper conduct and a de-
termination to respect the require
ments of the law on the part of the
steel corporation even following the
date of the suit aided in reaching
the decision. A fact which has
always stood out prominently IN con-
nection with the case Is that the cor
poration did not and does not con-
troll the steel business and while it
has large holdings it does not pre-
vent competition either at home or
abroad.
This decision, in line with others
which have recently been given, gives
indication that the corporations are
keeping within the provisions of the
law and that in view of the improve
ment thus found business can ex-
pect a proper protection from the
courts. It means relief to big bVs-
mess unless an appeal disturbs it,

BY uncommon sense we mean the
ability to grasp facts other than ma

of vision; the ability to measure by
something besides rule of thumb IN
plain terms, it is spiritual sense the
faculty that can perceive behind all
the forces of the material order a
world of spiritual force 1t thus has
an idea big enough to explain these
human careers of ours, to interpret
the joys and sorrows of the men and
women who dwell upon the face of
this old world. Behind the common
faces of every day it glimpses the liv-
ing God, the Maker and Maintainer of
all being.
It is only this spiritual interpreta-
ton of experience that yields help to
many Of us. Survey the life of this
present time with it's colossal evils, its
cruelty, and it's pain. Behold half the
world plunged into such a weller Of
bloodshed as no heather age ever
knew. Who can discover the rhine or
reason in such chaos? Who can find a
righteous purpose beneath things evil :?
The spiritual sense in man is alone
able to make any such discovery. 1t
| may be recalled that when the prophet
Elisha and his young friend found
themselves defenSeless in the presence
of the Syrian host the young man was
terrified beyond measure. The prophet
prayed the Lord to open his eyes that
he might see, "And the Lord opened
the eyes of the young man and he
saw and, behold, the mountain was
full of horses and chariots of fire
round about Elisha" How good it is
to believe that hid from our mortal

of spiritual reinforcements. SupernaI
