METTERNICH.

The first prime minister of Aus tria. was Prince Clement von Met ternich, who was born in CobIentz Prussia, 142 years ago today Met ternich entered the diplomatic ser vice at an early age. After the down. fan of the old German empire in 1904 when the Austrian monarch until then emperor of Germany, became ruler of Austria only, Metternich was made prime minister or chancellor On state. being the first to hold that of flee in the Austrian empire, After Napoleon suffered disaster in Russia Metternich insHgated a revolt agafnsl him, and in ISIS Austria declared war on France. On the field of Liep- zig Metternich was raised to the rank of prince of the empire. A cen tury ago he presided over the Con gress of Vienna, which divided Eu- rope among the successful sovereigns For nearly forty years Metternich was the real ruler of Austria, but in 1S48 his power was overthrown ans he was compelled to flee from Vienna concealed in a laundry cart. He re- turned to Vienna in 1851, and, though he never resumed office, his coun- sells were said to have swayed young Francis Joseph down to the moment of the famous stateman's death ia 1859.

BUSINESS AND THE
 MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS.

It is difficult matter to develop efficient militia and National Guard organizations One of the worst ob- stacEes is the trouble militia men commonly experience in getting away from their enpIoyments for military manoeuvers.
 The present critical diplomatic sit uation should have a lesson for bus iness men. They usually realize the oreticaIlIya that a body of militia is a necessity. But when it comes to letting this or that employe have a weeks vacation to attend camp, they are apt to balk.
 Militia men can not get much mili- tary practise merely by drilling in halls and on the streets Of their own town, They need to get out into the country, practise the routine of war, and get an idea of what actual fight ing would be like. A couple of weeks a year would be none too much.
 When man takes an oath to obey the orders of his superiors in case of war, he is making a, patriotic contri- mutton greater than anything in mere money. The employer is. not going half way in patriotism, unless he is willing to contribute by giving the recruit leave to attend camp.

sARAH GRAND.

Mrs. Frances Elizabeth McMa1l, the celebrated woman novelist who is known to fame as Sarah Grand, au- thor of seThe Heavenly Twins and many other widely read books, is now the head of the English War Relief Fund Clothing Bureau. Since the beginning of the conflict the aged writer has devoted her entire time to the work of supplying clothing to the refugees and the inhabitants of the devastated regions of Belgium, France, Serbia and other countries. Mrs. Grand is president of the Ma tiona1 Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in Great Britain, but the cause has been permitted to Ianguish, while the white-haired au- their whole energies to the solution of the many heart-rendtng problems presntd by tn worlds most trrible war. Writing recently of the women of England, Mrs. Grand said: '"The most peaee-1oVing of us are now for
 war, and the most egotistica1 for self sacrifice Of her own work she said, "Our one cry is sClothes!' and they come tumbling in, but we never have enough. It is hard work" she added, f'but the most virulent anti suffragists acknowledge that it is we'll done. Even the mayor, who first hesitated to accept our offer, has now publicly compIimented our organiza- t1on, and added the clothing Of the Belgian refugees to our 1abors.' g Frances Elizabeth Clarke was the
 maiden name of the novelist, and she
 was born in Ireland, of English par ents. At the age of sixteen she mar ried an army surgeon and accom-
 panied him to CeyIon, China and Japan. Her husband, Col. McFan,
 died about seventeen years ago. She began writing when qnite young, and sold Several stories to a girls publi- cation before she attempted her first novel, "SinguIar1y Deluded.'' She did not attain widespread fame as a novelist until the publiration in 1893 of '"The Heavenly Twtns.'' This work was widely read in America as
 we'll as in Great Britain, and is usual ly considered her best work, The Eovel Is a protest against the system tenn which permits lapses from

PRESIDENT ALDERMAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
 VIRGINIA l54 TODAY.

Dr. Edwin Anderson Alderman. president of the University of Virginia and one of the most eminent of southern educators, was born fifty four years ago today in Wilmington, N. c. He became president of his alma mater, the University of North Carolina in 1898. Three years later he was appointed the head of Tulana University. New Orleans, and in 1904 he succeeded to the presidency of the University of Virginia
 pr. Alderman assumed the role of prophet not long ago when he pre- dicted that the European war will not end until the fall of 1916, ana that, unless Britain's fleet be destroy ed, economic. pressure on Germany will end the conflict. His views on the final settlement of the issues are Interesting.
 q venture to predict he said, ''that new congress of nations will assemble in the fall of 1916, after the analogy of the Congress of Vienna, but it will not be held at Vienna, and let us pray that it will not take its cue from that unworthiest and un- wfsest of all great international gath erings. It ought to be held at Brus- se1s-the. Congress of Brussels in honor of a. little state which counted honor and loyalty greater than her life. Democracy and not autocracy,
  grandizement, should rule its coun- ciIs. and the peace of the world for some generations at least should is sue from its encouragement of the po1ity and the laws of Europe. Re- venge should not enter into it's pul poses. The restoration of Belgium. the return of AIsace and Lorraine, the constitution of Poland as a. free state, are obvious things which will take care of themselves. The, SUI premest thing. after a just rearrange- ment of the map of Europe, is the es- tab1ishment of a, great international tribunal, upon which all powers should be represented, which should determine peace or war in the world. If any nation then dares to run a1nuck. all others should feel in duty bound to coerce it intot peace. I do not mean that I think eternal and universal peace will then ensue. But the end of all human striving should be in that direction. An Fnglishman of note, discussing this idea, said to me that he thought the president of the United States should preside over this body. I think so, too; for in ad- dition to his personality, democracy, implanted so grandly in our repub- lie, would be accentuated and lifted up before the world as the great end of human society"

ST. LOUIS BOASTS WORLDS LARGEST
 FILTRATION PLANT

St. Louis, May 15.-What is said to be largest filtration plant in the world was dedicated today at the Chain of Rocks, the site of the St. Louis city water works on the Mis- sissippi river at the extreme northern end of the city.
 The filtration plant cost $1,3oO, 900 and is so large that 150, 100000 gall Ions of water can pass through it every twenty-four hours absolutely pure; and in case of emergency this can be increased to 20O,0OO,0OO gall Ions.
 The opening of the filtration plant is the last step deemed necessary for years to come to assure St. Louis of clear water. The city's water is taken from the muddy Mississippi river, and first is given ., chemical treatment that precipitates the solids and for eign matter. The water then passes through a series of settling basins, from which it emerges clear. For years this system was sufficient to as- sure the city clear water, but as the demands for water grew with the growth of the city, it was noticed that in hot weather or when the river was unusually muddy, the water was drawn through the settling basins so fast that it poured out of the faucets slightly disco1ored.
 The great sand filter then was built. The water now Will pass rom the settling basins into the filter, and thence into the mains. The nlN0r, it is believed by engineers, will assure the people of St. Louis absolutely clear water throughout the hottest weather.
 For years, St. Louis struggled with the problem of clarifying the muddy river water, and when the settling process was devised it attracted at- tention in engineering rircles through out the world

WHAT TO DO FOR
 ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itch ing, burning skin eruptions are so easily made worse by improper treat rnent that one has to be very careful. There is one method, however, that you need not hesitate to use, even on 2. babv's tender skin-that is, the resi- mol treatment. Resinol is the pre- scription of Baltimore doctor, put up in the form of resinoI ointment and resino1 soap. This proved so remark ably successful that thousands of oth- CT physicians have been prescribing 1t constantly for 20 years
 2 ResinoI stops itching instantly, and almost always heals the eruption quickly and at little cost. Resinol ointment and resinoI soap can be bought at any druggists and are not at all xpensive.-AdV.

SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.
(Henry Clews


 President Wilson's note to-the Ger man Government is worthy of com mendation from every citizen of the United States. Its tone is courteous but at the same time firm and digni- suItfied. It's language admits of no nisconstruetion. He appeals to the high ideals of the German race and compliments them on their previous record on the side of justice and hu- manity He frankly states his demand for full reparation for the several acts where our rights have been invaded and the fact that he indulges In no bonabastic utterances adds strength and dignity to his words. He has writ ten neither too much nor too little and his note will fill a large page ln history. Let us hope and pray that the German Government will recog- nize the justice of his pronuoncenent and thereby cement the friendship which has hitherto existed between our respective nations.
