Does this sound far-fetched or pre-
posterous2 All our European war news
comes through English chalmers. Is II
not possible that the fighting quanty
OF the opposition is over-empnasiZeo
sometimes so, that the Worlo may
feel, when victory finally perches up
on the banner of the allies that II
was a victory worth achleVlng -

Every American has the k1ndliest
feelings toward the German people
They are a hard working, substantial
home loving and thrifty people. When
they come to America they make the
best of Americans. Ordinarily the
hphen isn't in evidence except among
the newest corners, and If t has been
considerably in evidence during the,
present unpleasantness on the other
side. that is not so much due to the
German Americans themselves as to
the tremendous propaganda that has
been carried on to enlist their sympa-
thies for the Fatherland. 1t is not
with the German people that Uncle
sam has any dispute, but with the
Imperial German government

With the increasing warehouse
facilities that have been provided, the
case in financial circles as against
the intense closeness in finances last
year and the cooperation of the Fed
eral Reserve board. there is no rea-
son why the South, if it Is wisely
guided, should not handle It's (cotton)
crop far more advantageously than 1t
did last years. 1t cannot throw this
crop on the market without breaking
prices, but it can meet the situation,
carry the crop over, or such portion
OF it as may not be salable at fair
figure, and await the inevitable time
when the, world will need all the cot
ten that we are storing UP, and need
IL at high prices. Moreover, the South
can more nearly live at home by
reason of it's immense grain crop than
at any time since 1S65.-Baltimor

Since it is apparent that well de-
fined and in part, concerted effort is
now being made in this country to pro-
mote the meditation of the United
States in the world war and to spread
broadcast the idea that there, is in
Europe real readiness to welcome
such mediation, It is necessary to warn
Americans that such agitation is based
on wholly false premises. There's no de-
sire, no willingness, no intention
among the enemies OF Germany to
accept mediation or desist from the
is simple: peace now would mean
for Germany victory almost as COM
plete as her statesmen hoped for at
the outset, and would open the way
for later victories which would com
plete the great work the German
people have undertak en-New York

The king of Italy has been made
corporal in French regiment. OF
course this Is a merely formal
courtesy, based on traditional asso-
ciaticns between Italy and France
But 1t has sentimental significance
and counts for something because of
the new alignment which brings the
TWO nations together on the firing line
It's customary for old world mon
srchs to hold honary positions in the
armles Of brother monarchs; but when
big war breaks out everything is
all off. The German Emperor no
longer has the privilege Of wearing
an English or Russian uniform.
FOR can King George or the Car right
fully appear in the military toys of
Germany. In fact, the king of Eng
land has gone so far as to revoke the
permission given to Germanic rulers
to use the garters bestowed upon them
that is, the insignia of the Order of
the Garter. Thus we have anothereex-
