RUMORS OF PEACE.

No doubt there are deep longings
for peace in the grieving homes al
over warning Europe, and this mus
be as true of the central powers as Of
the allies, for German and Austrian
troops have suffered terrific loss
though these countries have suffered
less from invasion than Belgium and
France. But it may be doubted il
there is any such demand for peace
as would support tie rumors OF peace
negotiations which have been heard
so often since tue breakdown of the
offensive against Constantinople.
The Teutonic powers have less
apparent reason for seeking peace
at this time than they seemed to
have two months ago. Great Britain
just now appears to be in a state OF
serious depression, and no wonder,
when one considers the bungling and
failure in the Balkans. AT, this mo-
ment, although the British stake in
the Balkans operations was greater
than that of France, the French have
several times as many troops in Ser
bia as the British have. But sup
pose the British are utterly discour-
aged from the failure of their leaders
to understand the difficulties and
dangers in the Balkans, does that
mean that the British will seek
peace directly or indirectly? Answer
ing an Interrogation in Parliament,
Lloyd George pointed out the fact
that the British government could
not seek peace except by breaking it's
agreement with France and Russia to
act jointly with them. Does anyone
imagine that the French will sue for
peace while their territory is invaded
at any time before all the resources
of the country are exhausted? Russia
with multitude of men available in
the reserve is fighting on her own soil
or near it, and shows no sign OF yield
ing. Even if it should be assumed
that Great Britain has been brought
to state of utter despondency-and
that is assuming too much-there are
two others nations which must be
broken in spirit before peace negotia-
tons are opened from the allies side.
Germany, could of course, end the
war by offering terms of sufficient
but at present there seems
as little probability of this as of the
allies trying to make terms while
Germany is generally successful IN
Russian and the Balkans and Eng
land rules the seas.-St. Louis Re-

AN INEXCUSABLE DISASTER.

The lives of the 20 children who
persisted in the burning Of st. johns
Parochal school at Peabody, Mass,
were sacrificed to an lneXcusaDle
lack of ordinary precautions against
such a disaster.
The interior of the building was
evidently of a highly inflammable
construction. The fire spread with
the usual incredible rapidity.'
There were no fire escapes to which
the little ones could flee when smoke
and flames appeared in the halls
Above all, something was wrong with
the main exit where children were
TANNED together and trampled by
those following. That was where
practically all the loss. OF. life took
place.
This is an old story. 1t was faulty
exits which were mainly responsible
for the loss of 1877 school children at
North Collinwood, Ohio, in March,
1908. That fact was noised all over
the country. 1t started a great agita-
ton for outswinging doors on all
school and other buildings of a pub
lie character. The terribly pitiful
lesson seemed to have sunk deep into
the public and parental minds. Did
it ever reach Peabody, Mass?
Badly working doors, inflammable
interior, no fire escapes for crowd
ed children's school house! Factor
les of the kind are subject to greed
which the community must combat
against greedy resistance. But
school houses are subject to an anx-
ious and loving parental care which
should make the community eager to
profit from every lesson without re-
sistance. Will men even as parents
never learn?-New York World

Life Was a TRACED y,
Said Iowa Woman

Mrs. William Litzenberg of Monte
yuma, Iowa, suffered from stomach
troubles for long period. She grew
weak as result of the failure of her
digestive processes. She was always
tired.
Then came Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy and showed her the way back to
health again.
The first bottle, the very first dose,
put Mrs. Litzenberg on her feet. She
wrote:

THE ONLY PERMANENT PROS
PERITY.

No Thoughtful American can read
the import and export statistics for
September without certain feeling
of concern for the future OF his
country in view of the Onesidedness
of our foreign trade.
During September we sent abroad
goods worth $146,00O,OOO more than
the goods we imported. The export
balance for this one month was more
than two-thirds as great as it was
for the whole fiscal year of 1910.
The comparison is actually worse
than it sounds; for in 1910 the for
eign holdings of our securities were
much larger than they are now, and
q large excess of exports was neces-
sary to pay interest and dividends.
A combination of tight money
abroad and drouth at home caused
the gold movement to be against us
for two years, up to June 80, 1915.
The past fiscal year has not only
brought back all the gold taken away
during those two years, but brought
also a net import balance Of more
than S1O0,OOO,00O.
There is prosperity in these
figures? Yes; for us, here and now.
But what do they mean to our GUS
toners now and to us tomorrow?
Suppose a man whose money is all
Invested in a store and a blacksmith
shop in little town, and suppose the
miracle of his neighbors needing his
goods and his work, and having moth
ing to sell or trade him in exchange.
This would mean prosperity for him
while the cash in the little town held
out, but after he had it all and
would-be purchasers could not pay
for what they bought, what would
his store and shop be worth?
That is the foreign trade situa-
ton. 1t is wholly abnormal and con-
tains many possibilities of disaster.
For the Lord has made this world on
such plan that the only permanent
foundation for the prosperity of any
man is the prosperity of his neigh
bors.-St. Louis Republic.

THANKSGIVING 1915.

In his proclamation setting Nov
rs as the day of national thanksgiv-
ing, President Wilson spoke for al!
the people when he put peace over
all other reasons for Thanksgiving.
If there is a common and gen,Aral
thankfulness it is that we have net
been involved in the red ruin that
covers Europe. If there is a common
hope it is that we shall remain at
peace.
We have prospered while the treas
uries of other nations are empty, we
have reaped harvests while the fields
of other peoples have borne no har-
vests except of death and slaughter.
Our cities have builded while others
have been destroyed.
When families gather together on
Thanksgiving day we shall be all
there except those who in the COM
mon course of nature have passed
on to a greater thankfulness. Beyond
which might meet without it's quota
of cripples and vacant chairs whose
owners lie in the indistinguishable
graves along the fighting lines. Our
greatest thankfulness this season is
not for what has been given to us
but over that which has been with
held.
And much has been given. We are
prosperous. We are busy out in the
middle west, we have gathered boun-
tiful crops. That once in many years
one staple crop is short is not a
cause for pessimism and complaint
For we are rich and prosperous and
at peace.
Be thankful then. We have much
over which to be happy and thankful
that which was given and thai
which a kind providence has kept
from us. But greatest Of all ou1
gifts is peace -Marshalltown Times

IOWA POLITICS.

A recent news telegram from
Washington, D. c., contains the fol-
lowing political views regarding
Iowa:
Former Representative Maurice
Connolly, who has arrived here, has
given out an interview on Iowa poll
tics, the Cummins candidacy and
business conditions.
Mr.. Connolly declares Wilson
stronger than his party and has a
fair chance of carrying Iowa next
year. He says with the republicans
divided on the governorship and
BADLY split over it, the democrats
have a good chance of winning if
they nominate strong man. He
favors Wilbur Marsh, despite the
fact that Mr.. Marsh says he is not
a candidate.
AS to Cummins, Mr.. Connolly says
he will be the choice of Iowa repub-
licans next year for president and
that he has a considerable following
in other western states.
AS to business Mr.. Connolly says
there is "a feeling of marked conf
dence"

OLD MUSICAL TURN
 GOOD AT KEENEY'S

One of the most muSlng acts on Keeneys bill this week introduces to New Britain theatergoers, Kellen and Clark, pair of musicians and com edians, who have been finding great favor throughout the west, and who are now winning new laurels on their trin in this section Their speciality is an old-time musical turn, not un- common in the days when minstrelsy was at the height of it's popularity, but it is furnished in such a fashion that is really appears new and the novel feature that have been lncor- porated make it very entertaining. MT. Kellen gives 8 good impersona- ton of the ld-time German comedian while MT. Clark proves himself to be one of the best bla ckface comedians in the business. His dancing upside down gets big hand at every per- formance.
 The Seven Mischief Makers in their school room specially continue popu- lar with the audience. They have a, number of popular songs in their rep ertory and it is their singing that makes the act a splendid success. The comedy features of the turn are also good.
 Ladder balancing finds clever ex- ponents in The Three Romans, aero batic performers, who are also getting big hand every day. These people are better than the ordinary tumbler and they do some splendid work.
 Billy Court, Scotch comedian, makes a most favorable impression at every performance. In fact he is the most popular performer on the program.
 IIibbett and Myers, character come dians, seem to please the audience with their song and conversation me- 1ange.

WILLIAM FARNUM IN
 "SAMSON" AT FOX'S

For today and tomorrow William Fox presents William Farnum, the original Ben Hur in the title role .n Henri Bernstein's Samson" pro- duced at the William Fox studios in New York. The play is of tremend- ous force and sustained dramatic ac- ton, with climax following climax in startling succession. William Far mum plays the principal role, that of Maurice Brachafd, the dock laborer who rose to be Samson of finance, with terrific power and at times with a primordial ferocity that is positive ly stunning. Edgar Lewis the pro- ducer of Samson has spared neither pains nor expense and has created screen spectacle which surpasses the original play in driving force and virility. The settings have been ar ranged with marvellous fidelity and scrupulous attention to detail, stamp ing the production as one of the very best as yet turned out of the William Fox studios in New York. The screen adaptation does full justice to the stage production as Fox pa irons will attest to when they see the photo-play

''WIDOW BY PROXY"
 FARCICAL COMEDY

The Widow By Proxy" is one of the delightful farcical comedies that has made millions of people roar with laughter. It is one of those plays that is so good that the man- of those who do not ache with laugh ter over the brightness of the lines. The exchange of repartee is rich. Ill despair one exclaims "Ye gods! With all the money in the world, why can't a little fall my way?' And later af- ter a boast of ability to clip coupons is made it brings back the retort, Yes, but I didn't inherit any cou- pons to clip" Just like a girl hear ing her first proposal the widow eX- claims: 1T am so weak! My wid- owhood came so suddenly The philosopher muses "What rotten luck, to live in the same apartment house with ones creditor. It'd be cheaper to move"
 The Widow By Proxy" presents a fine part for Miss Galloway. She is very pleasing in comedy lines and she is sure to appear to advantage as the widow, in which character Miss IT, win scored her big success. Mrs. Hubbard, who is so fine in comedy, has the character of Gilligan. Miss Bolton will appear as Dolores. MT. Cross MT. Wright and MT. Birch are congenially cast
 The present attraction at the Ly- ceum is drawing large crowds. The Conspiracy" is play that appeals strongly to those who like stirring dra matic action. There is an abund- ance of it and the members of the company are giving a most vigorous presentation A matinee perform ance will be given Saturday after noon.
