F WE SHOULD ENTER THE
EUROPEAN WAR.

If the United States should max,
war on Germany what would be
our situation2
We could make little use Of oul
navy inasmuch as the German ma
Wy is already practically bottled uI
in safety.
We could not raise large army
Of trained men for we have but few
such men.
We would transport our volun-
I teer recruits and land them in Eur
4 ope upon any soil only with the
! consent Of one of the allied Ger
man enemies-itself a situation not
calculated to fill us with pride
We could do this only after Sue
cessfully overcoming the hazards
Of passing through the gaunuer oi
German submarines and German
mines, in which undertaking we
should possibly be required to en-
dure the humiliation Of having to
depend upon the aid and support
Of some other nation.
We could not raise, train and
transport an army which could
compete in numbers and training
with the armies already at war with
Germany, and the result would be
that such troops as we should LAM
upon European soil at this time
would have to take position along
side British, French. Russian, ltal
ian or other troops and be subject
to the commands of British, a
French, a Russian or an Italian
general.

FIGHT.

Many readers no doubt have
4 puzzled over the energy displayed
1 by the allies in the campaign against
Turkey This movement has not
been carried on merely to discip-
line the Ottoman empire, but with
the greater object in view of open
ing up communication through the
Black sea with Russia. With this
accomplished it will be possible 10
only to supply the Russian army
with munitions much quicker than
at present, but it will also be pos
sible to place reinforcements
against some Of the German lines
more effectively than heretofore.
The most desirable end, however,
for the present is to more speedily
equip the Russians. Several mil
lion more men could be put in the
field by the car, it is stated, if he
had the arms and other equipment.
For the most par, the Russian sup
plies have been shipped from Ja-
pan to Vladivostock and thence
over the long trans Siberian rail
road. At the present time the port
of Archangel in the Artic sea is
now free from ice and supplies are
moving that way, but Archangel is
only open about five months in the
year The vital Importance Of ac-
cess to the Black sea is, therefore.
obvious.
In prosecuting the campaign in
that direction tie allies have sacri-
feed a number Of ships, inclu ling
several cruisers, but most of them

The allie program seems to be to +

Of the North Side Canal company, and
is entitled to water with the land ac-
cording to the agreement with the
company, upon the plaintiff paying
the annual toll or assessment for
ditch and water maintenance and nc
further nor greater sum.
This brings up a question that is Of
vast Importance to the water com
pany. as they can not afford to de-
liver TO the purchaser of this case or
any case similar. paid up water
right. when the settler has only paid
a small amount on that contract and
if the company does have to deliver
the paid up water right to the pur-
chaser Of tax deed. then, in order
to save themselves, they will have to
protect themselves by paying the taxes
on any piece of land for which they
nave given contract that the taxes
become delinquent on.
So it will be plainly seen that the
only real point in the case is wheth-
er the purchaser of a tax deed on
Carey Act land receives a paid up wa
ter right or not.
The case will be watched with
great deal Of interest by every per-
son concerned whether it be one Of
the water companies or a settler OF
the purchaser Of a tax deed.

Coal From the Arctic.

A few years ago, the idea of getting
coal from Spitzbergen, one of the most
desolate islands of the Arctic ocean,
was topic for romancers Of the Sun
day supplement type. Now 1t is a fact
of considerable moment In many of the
worlds markets. A single company,
financed chiefly by American capital,
mined nearly 10000 tons of coal from
Spitzbergen last year. The deposit
of fuel in the far North is said to be
singularly easy to work. It comes In
single seam about four feet thick
stretching along the coast for 30 miles
The surrounding rock is so solid that
timbering is not needed. The temper
ature is always below the freezing
point in the present workings, which
does away with the need of pumps.
In fact the only real difficulty is that Of
getting men-and motion pictures have
gone far to solve that problem Yet
for every ton of coal in Spitzbergen
there are ten in Alaska of at least
equal quality, closer to a hungry mar
ket. The arctic zone won't make a
real dent in the fuel market till our
big northwest territory gets in action.

VIII a bright light cause you to
snecze? It does some people. just as
do dust, flower pollen and cold. Dust
and pollen cause irritation In the nos.
trils and the sneeze is natures way
of stopping the irritation, by violently
removing the irritant. The sneeze
from cold, however, is a different
process on the part of mother nature.
While the dust or pollen sneeze is
confined to the nose, the cold sneeze
Is an act of the entire body and tho
nose is simply the scene of the ex-

Largest Steamship Cargo.

On its last trip to the Pacific coast
from Oriental ports, the Great North
ern's steamship Minnesota carried
what its owners say was the largest
cargo ever shipped in one bottom In
the history Of shipping. The total OF
the cargo is estimated at nearly 10000
tons. Included were $1,000 bales Of
hemp from Manila bound for Chicago,
and 2,730 bags of peanuts for the Pa
cific coast. From Kobe came $1,000
chests Of tea for overland points via
the Great Northern road principally
Chicago, New York, Montreal and To.

Manchurian maize and more than 81
500 cases of porcelain from japanese
ports. From Yokohama was shipped

Center Of Population.

For more thar century careful
calculation has been made every ten
years to fix the exact center of popu

in 1890 the center of population was
found to be near Annapolis, Md, well
east of Chesapeake bay A decade
later the center had moved to a point
Just above the city OF Washington.
Throughout the history Of the country
the population center has moved
steadily westward at the rate of about
100 miles every ten years. The cen
ter of population of our 100000, 600

Varying Exrreaoions Of Love.

~ $50 O'N' HN
It is in keeping the love of others
that most of us woefully fail. And we
fail very largely because we are not
careful in expressing love. Here we
ought not to be confused by terms.
Expressing love does not necessarily
mean using the language Of endear.
ment. On the contrary, those who
love most deeply are likely to be the
least given to endearing terms. The
use OF endearing terms may indicate
the absence OF deep love, or the alb.
sence of any love. '.

Great Moment In History.


Napoleon Bonaparte had just picked
up the crown of France out of the
gutter. We'll | declare" he eiacu-
lated as he polished II off on his coat
sleeve. "Fere's richness! I've always
felt that the man who could turn last
years silk hat into wastebasket was
something of genius, but I'll have
him beaten to FRAGILE, as another
great soldier will observe in hundred
years or so. I'll turn this old tile into
a telephone, and address the French
people through It," Whereupon he
placed the bauble upon his head. and
in time even as he had intimated, 1t
became the recognized central office
for all the switchboards Of Europe.
