The European War.

Those of us who are watching the
European war critically must see that
the end is not yet. The prophets who
said that hostilities would cease in
May will not make good. England
and France have had months of re-
newed preparations, and were up and
at it Immediately upon the end of
winter. If they expected Germany to
to be asleep, they have changed their
minds before now. Germany is the
shrewdest of all modern nations in
the art of warfare. She is never
asleep. Her wakefulness is as pro-
verbal as the stars. German drives
may not win everytime, but they are
the most impressive of all record.
To plunge, to batter, to charge IN
solid phalanx, of course, means
slaughter, but Germany means to die
standing up, if die she must. But
she is not dead yet by long shot.
Viewing the war from another
angle, there seems to be tremendous
efficiency in all of the armies engaged.
England is showing unusual reserve
force and bravery. France is prov
ing what an organization will effect,
and is winning many plaudits. Rus
STA is handling her huge bulk with
remarkable agility, everything con-
sidered, and Germany is the acrobat
of the war. She has the agility be-
cause of her speed in handling larger
forces quickly, moving her bullying
batallions across her borders in d
night. Whenever Germany's lines
have weakened, she has watched for
a quick opportunity to bring in solid
phalanXes of reserves. The world
wonders how the Teuton, battered
from all sides, can show such power
full defense. 1t is the wonder of all
experts, and those who see weak
spot to-day find themselves mistaken
UO-lIlOIIOW. bOI iIletHy oCetl NAiiSs AVN
much. She could fight an almost in
terminable conquest. About the only
way to whip Germany is to put her
in chains, and no giant has yet ap-
peared with enough strength to do
that job. Maybe it will be done
some day, but not yet. And the Allies
pound and push, and rush onward,
steel meeting steel, but they do not
go far. The German stone wall is
still impregnable. And so the end is
not in sight. At this rate, a by
inches system of warfare, it could go
on for generation. The soil of France
occupied by Germany may yet grow
crops; who can tell? England is no
coward, France is still brave, Russia
is fearless, Germany intrepid. No
man knows the end with all this force
still rampant for slaughter.

Palisades Celebration

The very successful celebration of
Palisades Tenth Birthday, held at the
public school house last Saturday
night, was an event of unusual i'm
portance. 1t was the taking cogni-
zance of the suggestion made by
"The Palisadian" exclusively, that
Palisade at ten years of age was
worth looking at, and that the occa-
sion should be properly celebrated.
The speeches for the most part repre-
scented very proper sentiment, for
it was a time for sentiment and JOY
combined. The feelings of every in
habitant found expression in some
very delightful thought as to Pail
sade's past, her present and her
future. There was no suggestion of
boasting in the declaration that in ten
years Palisade had jumped from an
average valuation of perhaps $780,
600 to $1,S0O,000. These are no very
big figures when associated with
greater municipalities, but most
worthy increase that is now fast en-
larging upon itself considering the
size of the village. Palisade may
well felicitate itself upon it's achieve
ments in the first decade of its
career, with the strong and encourag-
ing belief that the second like period
will find even more substantial prog
ress. The growth of Palisade has
been logical, and has not been due to
any act of the individual OF any set
of them. Every resident has helped
to make it what it is. The plan of
protection by restriction is in every
mans deed to his property here, so
that violations are out of the question.
The future of Palisade, and of all
of the Hilltop section is assured. A
good start has been made and nothing
will keep it back.

Rear admiral Peary's Break.

The recent loose talk of Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary at banquet
was foolish expression of the views
of a demagogue. Whatever led him to
say that in hundred years or so the
United States would either occupy
the entire North American continent
or else there would be no such thing
as the United States, is irrelevant
here. The fact remains that he was
guilty of this pece of unparalleled
effrontery. Nobody ever before ut
tered such foolish speech, and Ad-
miral Peary is sufficiently prominent
to gain publicity for his views, which
are extremely foolish and utterly I'M
called for. AS leading American
said of him: Such a prediction from
an obscure man would be foolish;
from one in his position it is little
less than crime. His prediction is
based upon an assumption which has
been demonstrated to be false
namely, that nation must constantly
expand or go into decay. Our neigh
bors should not be disturbed by the
prophecies of Rear Admiral Peary;
he has never been anointed and he
speaks only for himself.
AS the accepted discoverer of the
North Pole, Admiral Peary had found
a place to hang his hat of sufficient
prominence to be seen of all ages and
all eras. So he did not need to be
SO foolish as on this occasion. In
the meantime he may reflect upon a
touch of wisdom by Shakespeare who
spoke something about "a gentleman
that loves to hear himself talk"

SeLf-Sacrifce.

People who indulge themselves as
a general rule find it more difficult
to make sacrifices than those who
have early learned self-restraint.
Human desire is responsible for many
worldly evils which would not exist
but for the lack of restraint not early
enough instilled into our daily lives.
When a child sees something it
imagines it needs for its happiness,
it requires only the restraining hand
of the parent to teach it that the
thing sought is not essential for it's
happiness. This is tendency that
may follow us all through life, if we
are not careful in restraint. The
Christian religion teaches restraint in
order to attain to those ideals on
which it's faith is founded. The
tendency of the human race is to
sin, and nothing is so great factor
in the purer life than the early learn
ing of what it means to have re-
straint. Whatever of latitude we
give our passions, the more certain
are we to reap what we have sown.
The Bible teaches this, Christ taught
it. We cannot hope to attain those
heights to which we should aspire,

SUSPICIOUS Case of Smoke.

The grip of the Comptroller of the
United States Treasury at Washing
ton has fastened itself at the throat
of the Riggs National Bank Of the
capital city of the nation. The bank
cries conspiracy to ruin it on the
part of a government official. The
Comptroller insists that the bank is
running a phony business. 1t lends
money without proper security; it
runs brokerage department in which
men and women and it's own officers
and employees speculate in the open
market. The bank denies all charges,
and here we have the anomaly of a
high government official charging a
great bank with Irregularities, the
latter denying and retorting with the
open charge of falsehood. It is a
strange condition that makes thing
of this kind possible. Generally the
government has not gone after banks
without having reason for so doing.
In this case if the Riggs people are
right in their contention there is
something wrong with the United
States Treasury; if the latter is right
there must be something the matter
with the bank. There is lot of
smoke over the thing and both sides
are hot.
There must be fire somewhere
around. We won't hazard guess,
but there turks a suspicion.

The Barnes Roosevelt Clash.

The lawsuit at Syracuse brought
by Republican leader Barnes against
Theodore Roosevelt has developed a
great deal that the public did not
know about both principals. The trial
has shown that politics is Cor are!)
about as clean as maggots, and that
when it comes to proving anything on
one politician by another, it is merely
a case of the pot calling the kettle
black. Theodore Roosevelt is no saint
and no one can say that Barnes is not
a sinner. On two or three previous
occasions the raw side of New York
State politics has been laid bare, but
still the same old game of tag has
gone on, and will, perhaps, to the
bitter end. If Mr.. Barnes expects to
get $4,000 damages to assuage his
wounded heart, he has no doubt gone
to the wrong fountain for balm
Roosevelt on the defensive uses a fine
rapier and a sharp thrust. He woulc
parry any blow, first because his wit
is keen, and he knows how to play
the game to the limit for telling eff
feet. Perhaps there was never q
trial over political feud before that
produced such a past master at re.
polling attacks as Roosevelt. His high
moral standards may take very lofty
tumbles, but his power of recovery i;
like dropping cat with it's back tc
the floor six inches above it, it always
falls on it's feet. No man can phase
Teddy. And as for trapping him, he
can give an eel in a net cards ant
spades as to how to get out.
The Barnes suit will bring nothing
but empty net results on establishing
character, but it will re-establish the
well-known fact that party politics is
a feat of legerdemain that the
Great Hermann has never yet dupli-
Gated.

PALISADIAN

was in the public eye perpetually. He
was the star of innumerable public
assemblages, and was literally the
toast of the day.
The diminution of his lustre, how
ever, was not due to old age, though
men do not make the same appeal in
advanced years, somehow, with some
exceptions. Depew's decadence i'll
popular favor was not altogether due
to change in the times. 1t was his
environment that chilled the fervor
for Depew. His ear was too close
to the call of corporate interests, and
this fact brought about feeling of
distrust. This kind of association is
no longer mark of distinction.
Gradually Depew's fame has faded.
His brilliant wit no longer catches the
popular heart. He no more diSpenses
the meaty story. His counsel has lost
it's power, and his voice has been set
aside in the archives of the long ago.
Had Depew's real ideals been higher;
had he not fattened his purse by his
questionable associations, his name
would undoubtedly still have been
high on the rolls of fame. No one
questions his talent or his brains. He
could have been an idol, but he pushed
himself aside. After all, morals sooner
than money make character.
