Will Mankind Win or Lose in
the End ?

What is the cardinal issue of man
throughout the world? Is it the Sc tile,
ment of the war in Europe by stoppin g
it and causing one nation or one antago-
nism to cry quit that one man or one
nation may win record and hereafter
be called peacemaker? How much of the
motive is based on human sympathy and
how much of the motive is based ON hui.
man selfishness? What will we accomplish
by stopping the war that will save the
world from some future and more au-
spicious slaughter? Having declared
peace, will that end human conquest and
the everlasting greed of human ambition
by men and by systems of men?
Will that stop the making of men into
kings, and will that crown one universal
God reigning in the hearts of all man.
kind? What is the cause of and what
will be the lssue' And what tremen dous
principle is involved that will triumph
or be crushed by this conflict of bloody
arms? Will peace be final, or will it be
a general rest that some other scheme
may recuperate for some still more por-
tentous compulsion of authority
II the cause of the war and the unres
are the protests of man against the man =
agement of government by the brut e
force OF aristocracy, will universal de :
mocracy be accomplished or effectively
promoted through declaration of peace?
Peace will give US a rest and time to
think nationally, but will it solve or how
much will it solve of the problem of hu-
man destiny here where men are con.
trolled by themselves by laws that have
in them no widespread meanig hey ond
the triumph of one nation or one sys-
tenn for itself?

On Mansfield
TElla Warner Fisher in the Verm

Ella Warner Fisher in the Vermonterl
To the north from the din of the city,
The monarch of Mansfield lies,
The scars of the centuries seam his face,
Raised high in the cleaning skies;
Huge masses of rock rise defiant,
Their u'lines forbidding and wild,
And the winds sweep free and unbroken
Over Soitude's favolite child.
The lovers of nature have found him,
The flaws in his armor they know,
The rare moses fed by cool waters,
On their way to the valley below;
The hooks in the sweet swaying basams,
The caves'in his dark stony side,
The lake that he hid in his bosom,
The paths that to man he denied.
The lovers of Nature have found him,
From out of the east and the west,
Over boulders and brake and tange
They come from valley to crest,
They watch the red sunset at even,
The glory of sunrise they know,
And glmpses of cloud and and Heaven,
And the silent world below.

Stallings' men are making fine fight. better than any but their staunchest supporters expected.
 Less impressive than for some weekS was the showing of the ambitious Brook lyns. Their even break in eight games cost them a few percentage points, and today they are farther away from the leaders than last Sunday, while the Bos- tons. in third place are nearer to the second position holders.
 The Phillies, with five games won and two lost made their chief gain at the expense of the Cincinnatis, from whom they took four straight games. These more than made up for the two out of three which they dropped to Chicago early in the week. McQuillan, the ex- Pittsburger, a recent acquisition of the Quaker staff, already has won two games for them, and justified the belief that he would appreciably strengthen the team in the box, where it especially needed added strength.
 The Brooklyns were playing much stronger ball as the week closed than when it began, for they lost three straight games to the Reds to start with, but divided the series with St. Louis and ob- tained an even break on the week by taking double header in fine style from the Pirates on Saturday.
 Robinsons men, despite their only av- craze play of late, are still strong con tenders for the flag.
 Neither Chicago Pittsburg nor New York did anything to brag about, the Pirates showing being the poorest, while ing more class than for sometime. with Mathewson and Tesreau pitching in old time form.
 St. Louis played the best ball of the second division clubs and moved up to fifth place. The Reds. after a long streak of fine playing, struck a snag when they met the Phillies and failed to score a victory in the Quaker city.
 In the American league the Bostons downed Detroit, and Cleveland met with a setback Friday. took double header Saturday and topped off the series with a Sunday victory. They are playing their prettiest to hold their lead while on the road, counting on their season-end stand at Fenway park to enable them to hold the advantage.
 The Tigers partly made up for their re- versal at the hands Of the Red Sox by taking four out of five games from New York. They lost ground during the week, but still are well ahead of Chicago, which found the Yankees easy, but had a hard struggle with Washington. The White

Atlanta, August 29.-Another week in teams strung out as they have been for month or more and with tke Chicks and Barons holding themselves in striking distance of the lead, ap- parently waiting for New Orleans to show a reversal that would lose the pennant in the last few days As far as general results go the week could be thrown out In figuring the chances of teams now in the first division as none changed its percentage to an apprecia- ble extent
 By far the most interesting series of the week, and in which second place was at stake, was that between Bir- mingham and Memphis. On Thursday Robertson and Grimes engaged in a pitching battle that went 14 innings and ended in score of l to l. Grimes allowed only seven and Robertson six hits in the IA innings and neither team made an error. On the next day Bir- mingham took two games from the Chicks, one of which went 10 innings Memphis won on Saturday, ending the series with two games for the Barons and one for the Chicks.
 With the teams in second and third place fighting through a hard series New Orleans did not have a successful week at home. On Friday the Loolxouts heat the Pelicans with Weaver pitching ana followed the next day with putting another game in the lost column for Bagby The other game for the series was won by New Orleans.
 From New Orleans to Little Rock no team maffria1lV halne6 hnr chances to amount to anything by the weeks play. Including todays games, the results were:
 New Orleans won two and lost four; Memphis won three and lost three; Bir- mingham won four and lost three; Nashville won one and lost three; At lanta won three and lost three: Mobile won four and lost two; Chattanooga won four and lost three, and Little Rock won four and lost four
