He advocates an embargo on arms hno
munitions until the British govern
ment agrees TO abide by the rules OF
the Declaration Of London. and recalls
its successive Orders in Council as
subversivc OF its principles. In add
ton TO its main purpose. an eXanlns-
ton Of the real state Of our foreign
trade under the influence Of the re
straints established. this book IS a
valuable contribution 70 the history OF
the way from the economic viewpoint.
Professor Clapp has a happy knack OF
saying things:
The Turk, in closing and holding
the Dardanelles, thus interning the
Russian wheat supply, has been the
American farmers best hired man.
The price of wheat in our markets
would be reduced along with the
forts at Kilid Bahr. While Wall
Street prayed for peace, the Prod
uce Exchange, q few blocks away,
PRAYED for the war to 60 on. Peace
rumors send the grain market
down. They send the cotton mar
ket up.
Strangest Of all, Russia has been
forced by financial considerations to
wink az the sale of her wheat to the
Dual Monarchy and Germany through
Rumanian and Swedish middlemen. The
embargo cost her too much. When
he comes to deal with the effort to
starve Germany out our author has
a good word to say for the Agrarian
Junkers who made the bread Of the
poor dear by insisting upon a high
tariff on foodstuFs. II is their acres,
protected against foreign competition,
that have saved the Empire from star
walton. Had Germany, following Eng
lands example without England's con-
troll of the sea. turned to industry eX-
clusively and relied for its food supply
on foreign countries. the British EN-
barge would have achieved its purpose.

pei can transform the apparently in
corrigible into the exemplary citizen.
But how many criminals or irresponsi-
bles are there upon whom operations
are not and can not be made, or Tor
whom science has not yet prescribed
an effective operation? In view OF
what mas Lccn done, the author does not
seem to indulge in too great flight
Of fancy when he expresses the anticl-
patton that one day there will be ei-
fectivc vaccination against some KINDS
of insanity. Why not, after what has
been ascertained OF the nature and
causation of hysteria, epilepsy and
other nervous and cerebral affections
Nietzsche was happy in his
youth until he became a pathology
cal character and an i'll man
through poisonous influence upon
his protoplasm by sensitizlng tox-
ms. The toxins of mi
crobes sensitize the protoplasm Of
pessimistic philosopher in such
way that il vibrates in minor key.
His protoplasm is quite human in
every way excepting for the pecu-
liar character of vibration in physi-
cal brain-cels excited by toxin Of
the colon bacillus. Let us
compare Nietzsche and Stevenson.
II the tubercle bacillus had
accidentally dominated the stua-
ton with Netzsche he might have
penetrated us with transcendent
sunshine. II the colon bacillus
had accidentally dominated the sit
uation with Stevenson, he might
have left our bruised souls quiv-
ering in the ditch.
And so upon cells and ganglia and
bacilli depend the issues Of war and
peace. of capital and labor, of man
and woman, drug habits, the domestic
servant problem, civil service reform,
judicial procedure, tax reform, Social
ism, and indeed every private and pub
lie interest of humanity. OF course. it
is all a transcendent elaboration of the
ancient principle Of mems SGHd ~ cor
pore SdHO; but how transcendently 1t
is elaborated Not all will agree with
the author. Some viii deplore what
they Will regard as eXtravagant mate
rialism, 2ad others Will equally con-
denim him for fantastic ideslism; and
al of these remarkable books is that
they are earnest in purpose, weighty
with authority, and fascinating in
style. Though you may no. always
agree with them-how feminists will
rage against the discussion of the sin
gle and double standards of sexual
morality! il is impossible not to see
in them an enrichment CT our litera-
ture and an informing, stimulating and
inspiring contribution to the advancing
thought of the day upon topics which
most intimately concern the present
and perpetual welfare of the race.

Mt. Vernon will lose Battery B,
Ohio Field Artillery, which has been
located here for two years or more
This was announced by Col Duffy
OF the Ohio National Guard, Colum.
bus, who was in Mt. Vernon Monday.
The United States government caus-
ed the battery to be recalled from
Mt. Vernon.
Some weeks ago the federal gov
ernment sent a man to Mt. Vernon to
inspect the equipment Of the local
battery. His report was exceedingly
unfavorable, 80 the government de-
cided to send a second inspector here.
The report of the second inspector
was practically the same as that Of
the FIRST. Both reports showed that
the equipment was In bad condition.
It was shown that the U. s. govern
ment owned the equipment used by
the battery and that it is estimated
to be worth 100000.
The reports of the inspectors did
not in any way censure the officers of
Battery b or the members Of the ar
tillery, but the fact was pointed out
that Mt. Vernon was not of sufficient
size to maintain a battery Of field
artillery. The battery was transfer
red from Toledo to this city and it is
. claimed that Toledo was not of suf-
fcient size to support the battery and
1t could hardly be expected that Mt.
Vernon could do SO under those cir
cumstances. The U. s. government
is, therefore, anxious that the equip
ment be removed to larger city,
where it can be properly taken care
of and where more men can be en-.
listed for the battery.
Col. Duffy stated Monday morning
that while Mt. Vernon will lose the
battery Of field artillery there is an
excellent opportunity for the city to
secure company of infantry, If the
citizens are interested in the move
ment and will take the necessary
steps Immediately. It Is likely that
II q company Of infantry were organ
lied in Mt Vernon. the company
might become part of the Fourth
Regiment, with headquarters at Co
lumbus.
Col. Duffy, In company with Hon.
L. T. Cromley. called upon a number
Of old soldiers and other persons In
terested in the movement Monday
morning and it seemed to be the uni
versal opinion that company Of in.
fantry should be secured for Mt Yer

and alighted on the roof, readily ig-
hitting the dry timber. The flames
did not spread to the barn owing to
the direction of the wind. Had the
fire broken out Saturday, the proba-
bilities are that the barn would also
have been consumed, as this building
is south of the house and the wind
was strong in that direction on Sat
urday.
In thirty-five minutes from the
time when the fire was first noticed,
there was not vestige of the house
save smoldering wood and charred
furniture. The house was completely
effaced. Both Rev. McClelland and
George McClelland carried insurance
on the house and the furniture there
in and it is thought that the loss will
be covered by this.

noon from 1915 to 1880 o'clock. On.
ly the furniture in the three south
rooms on the first floor was saved.
The house was a two-story, frame
residence. The loss Is covered by
insurance.
The fire started while Mr.. and Mrs.
George McClelland and children were
attending church In Fredericktown.
Rev. and Mrs. McClelland are on
their way to the California exposi.
ton and the only occupants of the
house at the time were Mrs. Chris
tina McIntire, invalid mother Of Mrs.
R. G. McClelland, and her nurse, Miss
Pearce, resident Of Minnesota.
Miss Pearce, at fifteen minutes at
ter the noon hour, started out to the
woodshed to procure kindling for a
fire. AS she opened the rear door OF
the house, flames swept in. Startled,
but collected, she ran to Mrs. Mcln-
tire, who is bed-ridden, and carried
her, bed and all, out of the house.
A glance showed that the flames
had started on the north side OF the
house and were spreading rapidly.
Miss Pearce telephoned Raymond
McClelland, who resides near by, but
by the time he had arrived the flames
had gained such headway that efforts
to save the house were useless. A
call was also put in to Fredericktown
for assistance.
The only portion of the house not
in flames was the south side OF the
first story. In this were numerous
pieces of furniture which were re-
moved to safety. The furniture and
clothing in other parts OF the house
were totally destroyed, as it was inn
possible to reach the second story
while the north side of the house was
a mass of flames.
The furnace fire had just been
started for the first time yesterday
and sparks came out Of the chimney

The battery has been a splendid
thing for the young men OF Mt. Yer.
non who are members, and 1t is to be
regretted that the battery will be
given to another city. Cleveland and
Columbus now have a battery Of field
artillery. Col. Duffy stated Monday
that at present he could not state
where the local battery would be
transferred, but 1t would be to one
Of the largest cities in the state.
