This nation is now in the midst oi
a controversy as to how best TO pro
mote universal peace. That question
we WIFI leave for diplomats to dis.
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and IL is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttImes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
In high places and hurled gas bombs
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus.
mess enterprises and bombarded ag.
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs OF business. and political Sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur.
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress. permitted many politicians &c
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart OF honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec

No man-especially II he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give Us peace. but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all Is said and done, is not
the selection Of the butcher more Inn
portant to the home than the election
OF mayor; IL not the employment Of
the dairyman a far more important
event In the life Of the children than
the appointment Of q postmaster; In
not the selection Of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things In life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow
BE IL said TO the credit of woman
hood that IL is not, as q rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants TO cast the ballot; II IL not
the mother who teaches her children
to say "Now I lay me down 20 sleep"
that harangues the populace: Il n not
the daughter who hopes 70 reign an
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform Of the suffragette. IL
In. as rule. the woman who despises
her home. negiects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads paradss
and smashes windows.

WEIGHING AND PLEASURE TRIP

Harry w. Crosby, one of her owners, in command The cruise is to be combined business and pleasure affair, Captain Crosby being accompanied by his family and one or two friends.

THE SCHOOLS OF
 ENGLAND ALSO SUFFER

London,- The annual report of the Board of Education says it is not yet possible to estimate the full ef- feet of the war on the schools, but it has depleted the teaching staffs, de- creased the number of students and caused inconvenience by the use of the schools for military purposes.
 About 30 per cent of the atten- dance of 34 universities and colleges in England and Wales have been diverted to the military service. Tn the mems training cillege for elemen- tary teachers, 645 out of 1420 joined the colors. At the Royal College of Art, 39 out of 152 students left for the same reason. Other institutions seem to show about the same pro portion.
 According to returns made in April ITS elementary schools, IS secondary schools, IL technical and training colleges were then occupied by sol diers This is but small part of the buildings used temporarily dur ing the movements of troops.
 In most cases, school keeps even if the building are used as barracks, and other premises arc found.

Washington, July 9-The German rcply to the Wilson note on the sub marine attack question is looked for tomorrow. Ambassador Gerard has notified the American government that Germany is trying to justify its attitude on the right of a submarine to attack and sink an unarmed ship. In the note they are said to have made the statement that Great Brit ain s blockade of the German ports has compelled the latter country to retallate in some way that would be felt by the British people. This could only be accomplished by fore ing up the price of foods in England, which had been done. Germany will state she regrets that the over-zeal- ousness of some of her captains has resulted in them at times going be- yond their instructions, but they had acted according to the need by which they were confronted, and the con ditions under which they were oper- ating. The German note states that submarine warfare mustt, on account of it's very nature, be judged by a different standard than naval warfare has in the past.

Vienna, July 9-The government admits severe reverse in the region between the upper Yistula and the Bug, where the German Austrian army was endeavoring to break through the Russian line south and east of Lubin. Unknown to the Teutons, the Russians had developed considerable strength in this region and after erumpling up the GermanIc advance with terrific artillery fire, pushed forward a counter attack and abso lutely stopped that advance. This, at this time is considered serious mat ter, as the plans of those in com mand called for the attack against Warsaw from the south being pushed home at once, and few days delay will enable the Russians to gather more troops and larger supplies of ammunition for both offensive and defensive purposes.

oHITINA ROUTE FASTEST WAY
 TO OUTSIDE

Again it has been demonstrated that the Cordova, Chitina, Fairbanks route to the interior of Alaska is the quickest way to travel. Mrs. Ring
 wald Blk, wife of the commissioner at Copper Center on the Fairbanks trail, left her home last night in an from Chitina, reaching Cordova this afternoon She will be passenger on the Mariposa tonight for Seattle, and will therefore reach Seattle in trifle over five days from the time she left Copper Center. Mrs. Blk is going to visit relatives in Mon tana and Idaho, and will be joined later by her husband.-Cordova Times.

Petrograd, July 10-It has develop ed this last few days that the main immediate objective of the Austro- German army at this time is the city of Lubin, place of considerable i'm portance in central southeastern Po land. This place is situated about midway between Lemberg and War saw, on the plain between the Bug and Vistula rivers, and on the rail road connecting Odessa and Warsaw. From this it will be seen that it is a place of considerable importance. For the past three of four days, fight ing south of the place has been of the heaviest, as the Russians had de- cided to make their stand there and had been preparing for weeks. The that Russia still had the immense number of men under arms that she had gathered together along this line, and attacked with insufficient force. In addition to the line of defense, Russia has gathered together immense bodes of cavalry, and it looks as though the German campaign in the east will be decided there As a counter attack, and if possible to cut the line of communication, the Russians have launched an immense army south from near Ostrowez which is west of the Vistula and on the line of railroad running across the Polish -Galician border,. from Po- land i'll the direction of Jaroslau, and that this body is now threaten ing the German line of communica- tion. With this force menacing their left flank, and newly arriving troops on their other, it would appear that Mackensen s newly formed northern drive is in critical position. Rus. sian generals here liken it to Lee s raid into Pennsylvania during the war of the rebellion in the United States which resulted in the latter s defeat at Gettysburg. Whether Rus sia will be able to duplicate Mead s work remains to be seen.
