The year Of our Lord. 1914 Is unique
It does not fall into the procession OF the
years with the accustomed swing. That
which has transformed it into horror
without precedent In breath and malig-
nifty is war-war which Is devastating the
old world and fixing its sinister impress
on the new.
It came swiftly and with terrific
clash. On July 49, the Austro- Hungarian
government sent an ultimatum to Servia
demanding the punishment of the per-
sons concerned in the assassination or
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and In
slant suppression Of all anti-Austrian
propaganda in that country and giving
IS hours for consideration. The Belgrade
government agreed to the Austrian de-
mand with single exception--that wnich
would have empowered Austrian omciais
to take leading part in the punishment
of the murderers, and asked lot iurthei
information on this point.
The reply was not satisfactory to Aus
tria She promptly declared war on SER
via and began to move troops toward
the border. The Serbs began active mob
ilization and removed their capital from
Belgrade to Nish. in the interior. IN
stantly the eyes of all the civilized worio
were turned toward Russia.
The day after Austria declared war
on Servia the Russian minister OF for
eign affairs warned the German amoas-
sador that II Servia were invaded nus
STA would not be able to remain neutral.
Great Britain proposed to Germany,
France and Italy that council shouio
be arranged to mediate between the TWO
dsputants. Germany declined to become
party to such an arrangement The car
urged the kaiser to use his influence with
the Austrian emperor. According to the
German account. the kaiser complied
with this request to the best Of his abil-
ity. When he discovered, however. that
mobilization was going on actively IN
Russia, he wired the czar that his course
was making mediation impossible.
Two DAYS later the kaiser proclaimed
martial law throughout the country and
sent a twenty-four hour ultimatum 10

copied the preferred mediation.
The mediatory conference was held at
Niagara Falls. Canada, and opened on
May 90 On June Il the conference had
agreed upon a plan accepted both by
President Wilson and Huerta. Then a
deadlock arose over the choice for presi-
dcnt-the American delegates declined to
accept the name of any unconstitutional
list.
Meanwhile, the consttutionalists were
making unmlstakable advance toward the
capital. Their success was so pronounced
that II was evident they would soon be in
control Of the government

end without definite result and four DAYS

we'll to have time to get ones bear
irg, as we'll as to merely be going
somewhere. Holidays, properly OBJ
served, are great factors in civiliza-
ton, breathing spells in the race of
life, pauses on the highway of soul
development.
It is not in crowds that truth and
broad vision are found, but rather in
the high and solitary places, in the
still watches of the night. Fine feel
irgs and noble aspirations do not
tarry around those whose stomachs
are filled with heavy food and whose
minds are red with wine or sensual
pleasure. The difference between
good food and right habits is often
the difference between strong charac-
ter and mere responsibility; between
the strong impregnable soul and the
mental criminal. The holidays of this
season are of rich spiritual nature,
Notwithstanding the hue and cry of
gifts and exchanges. Christmas is an
ideal state and not one of season. The
sooner we realize this celebrate
Christ mas (s) with singing, music
and an intrinsic and perennial spirit
of good cheer and peace the sooner
we bring the prophesy of the second
coming to a realization.
We know full we'll that after the
romps parties, the stufing Of the
holidays there is a period Of illness
that is not due to the weather, but to
the reactions due to the indulgences
and indiscretions Of the carnal minds.
The best way to pave the avenues Of
entrance for pneumonia, grip, pleur-
isy and other intercurrent troubles
prevalent at this time of the year is
to stuff onself with all the food that
comes your way. Lack Of rest, from
the parties, the excitement incident to
swapping gifts, trying to remember
who selfishly gave us the two-ninety
gift when we spent four dollars on
them, at the last annual exchange Of
skill in palming off bargains, all these
things undermine the perfect little
barriers of health and the unsuspect-
ing, ever lurking germ starts on a
festive occasion which makes merry
for the doctors and Jones.
Eat moderately, laugh much per-
meate the atmosphere with good will,
let all the spirits be those which
come from the heart; they have not
yet learned to bottle the truly helpful
and healthful spirits of cheer and
warmth.
If you are undecided what to do
| after your dinner, watch baby or a
puppy-they lie down, take a sleep
and consequently have few stomach
troubles.
Do not look a gift horse in the
mouth; it is the spirit, not the price,
which counts.

On bright November day,
With uncovered heads they stand,
Friends of Washington pray.
Not our will, but thine,
An angel whispers to him,
Your work is finished at this time,
Come now and enter in.
Gone on to bright glory,
The heavy cross laid down,
Trying to tell the old, old story,
And wear a golden crown.
When the dead in Christ shall rise,
And we go up one by one,
We will see our nations pride,
And say to him, we'll done.
Booker T. has left us,
And our loss we greatly feel,
But it is God who has bereft us,
He will all our SORROWS heal.
Fight on, dear bereaved ones,
The victory will soon be yours,
Go on, the prize is almost won,
You will meet on that celestial shore.
