BISMARCK'S DIPLOMACY.

Register and Leader: In one of
his most notable speeches Bismarck.
urging upon the reichstag in 1883
the increase in military strength
that has made this war possible,
told the story of the beginnings of
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
Referring first to the beginnings
of the war between Prussia and
Austria, four years before, he said,
"a circumspect use of events alone
enabled US to ward of the existing
danger of turning this duel between
Prussia and Austria into a fierce
European war of coalition, when our
very existence, our life and all we
had would have been at stake"
Immediately following the defeat
of Austria the Luxembourg difficult
ty arose with France. Bismarck said,
"Only a somewhat firmer reply was

That was a very nice thing for

Your golf enthusiast is cucumber

witnessed an amusing little incident
which eloquently illustrates the golfnE
point of view A ball driven from the
tee sailed gracefully in the direction
of the green and administered a hard

Unssnitary Country.

According to the National Council Of
Education and the American Medical
association, country school children
are from 10 to 20 per cent less healthy
than city rchool children. Some of the
reasons are that tightly closed doors
and windows and poor lighting are
more usual in the country than in
cities; that country children's teeth
are not properly cared for; they often
do not get suitable luncheons, and
country sanitation is notoriously prim-
tive.

needed to bring about the great
French war in that year-and we
might have given it if we had been
so strong that we could have count
ed on success" ..f
| From then on during 1868, 1869
and up to 1870 1--WE were living in
constant apprehension of war. The
apprehension was so great at that
time that ] received calls from mer-
chants and manufacturers, who said
the uncertainty is unbearable. Why
don't you strike the first blow? War
is preferable to this continue

I'VE WAITED QUIETLY UNTIL
WE WE'RE STRUCK, AND BE-
LIEVE WE DID WELL TO AR
RANGE MATTERS so THAT WE
WE'RE THE NATION WHICH WAS
ASsAILED, AND WERE NOT OUR
SELVES THE ASSAILANT."
Those whose memories go back TO
the times Of which he spoke will re-
call how unanimously public senti-
ment flew to the support Of Germany
and how universal was the repudia-
ton Of Napoleon the Little and the
French assault, an assault which as
we now know was inspired and in
cited by the astute German chan
cellor.
In the light of the strategy of Bis
marck what is to be said of the JUS
tifications that have been attempted
of the promptness with which the
kaiser took the initiative in this
war? Germany was most surely not
alarmed at the threatened mobiliza-
ton of Russia; the weakness OF the
Russian assault is proving that. Bis
marck would have awaited six
months of Russian mobilization, stu
diously cultivating the friendly
opinion of the world, and studiOus.y
putting Russia and any ally of Rus
STA in the wrong.
Would Bismarck have invaded
Belgium without any preliminary
showing of need? He would have
waited as long and as patiently for
a French or English act of aggres-
sion on the west as for a Russian
act of aggression on the east. In
fact, he would have waited longer.
for it would never have been part
of his policy to engage in war with
all of Europe at one time, not even
if compelled to submit to temporary
humiliation.
It is probably true that Prussia
was in greater danger of facing a
crushing coalition in 1866, and of
inviting premature settlement
with France in 1867 than Germany
has been at any time since of assault
from any power or union of powers.
If Bismarck had been as quick on
the trigger as the kaiser there
would have been no German en-
pire, and possibly Prussia might be
today as Incidental to Europe as Be-
GUM or Holland as~
The event is proving that there
was no substantial threat at Ge:-
many in any act of Russia or OF
France. Nothing has occurred to
suggest that if Germany had wanted
peace, peace could not have been en-
forced upon Europe. Germany could
have controlled the situation. If
Bismarck Lad been living most as
suredly Germany would not have
struck until public sentiment had
been sedulously cultivated, and new
er would have struck with all Eur
ope in alliance. This war would
have been delayed years by Bis
marck, and probably would never
have been fought at all.

The warning nations of Europe
are telling just how well they are
prepared to fight and how long the
contest can be continued, declaring
that no surrender will ever be made
and that the war will go on until
the last able-bodied man is killed or
put in the hospital. Such talk is
largely a bluff, INDUCED in for the
purpose of fooling the other fellow.
But nobody is being deceived. 1t is
evident that each of the combatants
has his hands full and would like
to have the fight stop, but there
seems no way to stop it without
some side admitting defeat and it is
too early to expect anything Of that
kind. At this distance it doesn't
appear that either side is ahead. In
the east the Russians seem to be
able to give the Germans and Aus
TRANS all they can handle, and also
to the south take care of the Turks.
But Russia is finding it big JOB.
In the west the allies are just now
doing a little better than holding
their own, but if Germany can in
some way dispose of part Of her
troubles in the east she can send
to aid her armies in
the west. Military experts of the
neutral countries generally believe
that the longer the war continues
the better the chances of ultimate
success for the allies. But the mill
tary experts, like other experts"
generally are wrong good share
of the time.

every other one for years, urged
early buying. But did any one ever
hear of the editor being remember
ed with a present or even a kind
word from those he sought to serve?
The newspaper is regarded as free
horse for everybody and seldom does
anyone ever gives it even a word Of
encouragement for the good it does.
But the critic is always alert and
when the paper steps upon some
body's toes it "gets what's coming
in short order. Possibly it seldom
occurs to anybody that the editor is
partly human, like others.
There is reason why United States
district attorneys, marshals, etc.,
should be in harmony with the ad-
ministration, hence there is reason
why they should be appointed by the
president, but no good reason has
ever yet been put forward why it
was desirable that postmasters and
others whose duties are merely cler-
ical need be in political harmony
with the party in power. That pol
icy is simply a relic of the old days,
when the only justification was in
the plea that ''to the victors belong
the spoils." In this day and age
there should be no "spoils.''
The report was current in Wash
ington a few days ago that Cana
dian troops had marched through
northern Maine to shorten the dis
lance they had to go to some re-
cruiting or sailing station. There is
probably no truth in the report, but
it should be investigated and every
precaution taken to see that such a
thing is impossible in the future. No
matter if the countries at war over
in European pay no attention to
treaties and the Hague agreements,
the United States must at all times
make it's word good, so good that
when such rumors as those from
Maine are put in circulation nobody
will believe them unless conditions
are such that troops might go across
the frontier without the knowledge
of this country.

Colonial Theatre.

The Colonial theatre presents The Strength of the Weak in two parts. David Fleming is addicted to mor- phine. His mother surprises her son in the act of injecting the drug. He promises to fight the habit for her sake and that of his sweetheart, LaIia Fenton. With the drug ever near Fleming is unable to conquer his de- sire. Finally his mother dies. Heart broken, he tells his sweetheart of his failure. She begs of him to go away and fight it out. He leaves for a small village in the mountains where the drug is inaccessible. Stanford Black proposes to Lalia and is re- jected. He offers her a beautiful jewel in a plush box, but she refuses oaccept 1t. Black learns from Lalia that Fleming is making a successful fight against the drug. He sends his rival morphine in the box which con- tained the jewel he offered La1ia.
 Fleming is almost overpowered by the temptation. He rushes from his cabin in his effort to fight off the craving. The night before Lalia had had a dream in which she saw her sweetheart in trouble and persuades her mother to go with her to the mountain cabin. They reach the ca bin just after Fleming has rushed out There she finds the plush box and un- derstands Blacks villainy. She finds Fleming kneeling, fighting his tempta- ton. He wins. When they return Lalia confronts Black with his perffdy and orders him from the house, while she opens her arms to Fleming, a man once more.

Connecticut Food Ship for Belgium.

Over 100000 women, children and other on-combatants are in the Bel gian bread line. Unless America is to let starve those whom she has saved until now. more food must be SUD- piled.
 The Connecticut committee of the commission for relief in Belgium has set to work to load a "Connecticut food ship" jointly with the interna- tional commission, which has agreed to meet whatever is raised here dollar for dollar. All administration expenses are guaranteed: every cent contributed will reach Belgium in the shape of food,
 The commission has offered to meet whatever we raise, dollar for dollar. Connecticut's half of this shipload will cost approximately s100,000, of which the greater part must be secured in large subscriptions. Every dollar con- tributed will actually reach Belgium in the shape of food, without any dininution.

Aged, Wrinkled Faces
 Easily Rejuvenated

An aged face Is often only a mask to a compara lively youthful person. Be- meath is a countenance young and fair to look upon. It's a simple matter to remove the mask. Ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store, grad ually absorbs the worn-out surface skin; in week or two the user has the 1oveliest p1nky white complexion imaginable. An ounce of the wax usu- ally Is sufficient to complete the trans formation. It is put on at night like cold cream and taken off in the morn ing with warm water.
 This remarkable treatment Is invari- ably effective. no matter how muddy, sal1ow or discolored the complexion. pimples, blackheads and other cutane- ouS blemishes naturally vanish with the discarded skin.
 To remove wrinkles, here is recipe that cannot be too highly recommend ed: Powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in A pint witch hazel. Use as a wash lotion. It acts instantaneously and is wonderfully effective.
