ART EXPOSITION
OPENS IN PARIS;
LARGELY ATTENDED
(By Associated Press)

Paris, May Sympathetic in
success of the art exposition just OPP
ened by President Poincare in the
Petit Palace. Crowds of people, lit
tie acquainted with art, are drawn
there because they know that the

churches and town halls of the re-
gions of Ypres and the User were
snatched from under the muzzles of
guns.
Poor Scissors" one hears from
those around the marvellous tapestry
representing the siege of that town
in the fifth century. Just think of
it. Fifteen hundred years ago they
were hammering at her, and they are
at her still. -
There is also always crowd
around a leather panel rom the
mayors palance at Furnes-a name
forever more associated with the
popular idol Of the war, King Albert
This remarkable specimen of Elem
ish bears the scars of war-piercet
and lacerated as it is by shells.
A figure of Christ carved in ivory
saved by an old priest from a church
at Merghilynck just before it's de
molition, attracts great attention
There are many specimens of re
markable wood carvings in affairs
and reading desks and 20 show case'

THE UNDEvELOPED
UNITED STATES


politicians and merchants are invit-
ed by the Federal government to
consider the South American field
Tor the investment OF capital and
the extension Of trade.
In the present period of war and
destruction of capital, We venture to
suggest that the best possible field
for the investment of American cap
ital and the extension OF American
trade is the undeveloped portion OF
the United States.
The undeveloped portion OF the
United States is the greater part OF
it.
Our coal fields are undeveloped.
Our forests are capable of being
made immensely profitable. The
agricultural resources of the United
States are far short of proper de-
yelopment. We need 100000 miles
of railroad. We can profitably in
vest 500 millions in what we call
county roads.
We need for all this vast work OF
development thousands of millions OF
new capital; greatly improved mar
kets. and a more perfect organiza-
ton of our marketing methods.
When we talk of the future termi-
nails of great cities, of the opening
of new coal fields, of diversified farm
ing, we are told that there is not
capital at home or abroad for these
things. Yet when we talk OF South
America this is what we hear:
Mr.. Frank A. Vanderlip, of the
f., National City Bank of New York,
| declared that at the present time
the national banks of the United
States, as shown by their last re-
ports to the comptroller of the Cur
rency. have total surplus over the
legal reserve requirements of more
that 100000, and that the
state banks probably have "simi-
lar plethora.
| THAT MEANS" said he, that we
have a perfectly enormous capital
for the expansion of loans, probably
enough to expand loans of two OF
three billion dollars, so if we are In
a state of unpreparedness for wal
we are prepared to extend our tinan
cial relations abroad and for the de
velopment of banking credits a
home"
In the first place you do not in
crease the amount of money to LEM
by reducing your legal reserve
Wise bankers will keep just as larg
a reserve in 1915 as in 1912, thouel
the surplus may be part of it
| Next, farmers in the West an
South, harvesting wheat or corn 9
, cotton, will be glad to hear there
plethora of money in the banks
/ until they call for it.
Just now there are several officit
5 schemes for establishing rural cree
: it's" it would be far better If OF
trained bankers, ignoring "officia
: ism," should devise scheme of rur;
Al credit of their own.
I'm the third place, let these Amer
can capitalists, instead OF lookin
south of Panama, look north of tt
Gulf, and arrange marketing facil
. ties instead of committing Their
; selves to a ship subsidy scheme
South America.
North of the Gulf, right here
q the undeveloped United States, the
4 capitalists will find reader custor
= ers, safer credits and more profitab
: trade than in South America

A friend of mine has a son who is
SO emphatically a freethinker in
matters of religion as to approach
the observation-disclosures which is intol-
Grant and narrow in its resentment
of anyone who is less tolerant.
The woman herself is strict
member of a strict sect. She believes
whole in the creed of that
particular sect and she thinks all the
rest of the world who do not believe
the same as she and her co-relig-
ionists are hopelessly mistaken. You
can imagine with what horror she
regards her sons attitude. 1T does
seem so strange" she says, that l
should have a son like that"
Il, Of All People"
The "I' is emphasized because she
says it in tone which means H.
of all people, I, who am such a
strict believer in the one true relig-
ion."
AS a matter of fact it seems to
me that she, of all people, is pecul-
iarly predistined to have son like
that.
I don't doubt that the sons ag-
gressive observation-disclosures is nothing
but a rebound from her aggressive
narrow mindedness.
Few people, l think, realize how
strong the rebound tendency acts
especially in young people.
1t is of course the natural thing
to oppose with all your heart any
fault or vice which you have learn
ed to hate, but if you are a parea'
and YOU have a child whom you
want to guide away from that fault
or vice | doubt if it is the wises'
thing to be too violent in your op
position.
Youth Hates Prejudice
Youth instinctively hates DreJu
a;ce and it is ap. to view as preju
dice any opposition which declaim
| AGAINST it's object i'll season and GU
O. season.
| i have known young people
pretty good young people too-wh'
seemed to snatch a certain rare yes
from the fact that their fathers o
mothers would be Mortified if the
could see them.
And once knew fine young ma
who had gotten into the habit
drinking partly because he resente
his fathers almost rabid hate
that vice.
The father had good reason
hate the vice but he would hay

TO people who have been inclined to regard the struggle in the Dardanelles as something of a minor affair when compared with the enormous activities in France and the Polish war zone the total of the British losses in this cam
 paign up to the first of June will pro- bably come as something of a surprise. According to the figures given out by the British war office and published in the columns of prominent English paper, the losses to the British invad-
 ing on both land and sea reaches the considerable total of 3S.635. The com parative figures are 7.422 killed. 24.676 wounded and 6.537 missing, the bulk of whom are, in all probability, dead
 thereby bringing the full total of deaths up to 13,959 or considerably more than one-t third of the total force engaged. That those figures of the dead are approximately correct is sub stantiated by the statement of the Turks who report that they have taken but few prisoners. According to the war office statement, the bulk of the casualties were sustained In the heavy fighting which followed the landing of the allied troops near the end of April
 when the Turks by incessant attacks
 tried to drive them back to their ships. The losses of June. according to the same account, have also been very heavy. although not so heavy as those of the Turks which have greatly in- CT eased owing to the constantly ad- ded strength of the allied forces through the great bodies of troops sent to reinforce the invading army and also the extensive additions to artillery equipment The French troops on the Peninsula are not nearly so numerous as are those of the British but their losses are given as at least half those of the British army That would bring
 mp the total casualties of this so-called
 little war to nearly sixty thousand
 men. When it is remembered that this
 enormous loss has been suffered in try lns to take very small patch of land scarcely more than forty miles long and scarcely averaging third of that in width, it is disclosed that some of the most sanguinary engagements of

We are all familiar with the admon- ition to aim high" through, having 1t preached to us from childhood, onward but to "aim above the mark is new precept that contains an even greater wisdom. for him who aspires to fal- low. This aiming above the mark Is effectively Illustrated in n line from one of the old poets who declares: "Who aims the sky shoots higher far than he who aims a tree" And, is it not the common experience of man that one is more likely to fall short of the ideal to which he aims than to achieve, or pass it? Indeed it Is sell dom that we ever attain the height or reach the goal we have set ouselves and 1t is more seldom we surpass it. Is this because We set our mark too low or too high? We believe 1t Is the former for it is seldom that the indi- vidual does not unconciously recognize
 his limitations when setting his mark
 for future achievement Some there
 are to be sure, who do not take into
 account the situations confronting the
 effort they have set themselves and
 these are very likely to fail but it is
 hardly to be gainsaid that if they per sist In even a hopeless task they will go higher. travel father, than if they Inspired to some lowly thing easy of
 achievement The policy of aiming
 above the mark finds an excellent il- illustration in the study of shorthand Ii has long been recognized that the
 best way to attain a given speed 1T
 still higher rate. A student who wishes to write at. say eighty words per min. Iute. is urged to take down matter al one hundred while one who desires tc attain high record speed of one
 hundred and twenty is set to practice
 at one hundred and thirty In this way
 it is found that, while the student fails to take a complete note at the higher | rate of speed, he can quite insensibly attain the lower rate and is soon able to take dictation at that rate with little effort. There are many other it. lustrations where aiming above the mark will greatly increase the capa city of the individual all of which dis close that there is n very practical side to this admonition. He who aims at the sky may at least hit the lofty spire of the church while he who shoots at the steeple is very .~apt to hit the ground below.
