doesn't he distribute it judiciously
amongst the Balkan kings instead of
getting up his peace crusade?
Besides if he wants to enjoy peace
and the freedom of obscure poverty
he will have to stop making cars, for
economy and self-denial is the order
of the day here and our first act of
seIf-deniaI is always to buy Fords!
Oh, you want me to talk about
peace and not about cars! Well,
peace has its advantages, but the call
is not with us even If we knew how
to stop the fighting.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW CABLES DAY BOOK
CLEVER SATIRE ON EORD,S PEACE PLAN

Why should we do it? If people
knew what a fraud our peace was
they would not think so badly about
war. Our national income is now far
better distributed than it has been
since | was born. The millions we
have enlisted look ten years younger,
most of them being better fed, cloth
ed and trained than they have ever
been.
The casualties in the field are not
more than our usual industrial cas-
ualties. They really are less than in
peace which killed babies by the hun
dreds of thousands and wasted every
year enough money to pay the inter-
est on fifty billion dollars ($5O,000,-
0O0,000). 1t is really much better to
fire it away out Of our cannon, espe-
cially when, as mostly happens, moth
ing is hit.
We now take much more interest
in politics. Some sanguine people
even believe there is a chance of our
shooting a few cabinet ministers,
which is the most urgently needed of
all parliamentary reforms.
Our liars, which do much to keep our
minds active, are having wonderful
opportunity. towards also are hav-
ing the time of their lives. Prices are
high, which pleases the shopkeepers,
and wages are high, which pleases the
customers. People are eating less
meat now and soon everybody will be
as clever as am.
No, decidedly there is no hurry to
stop war.
Ford must talk to the Germans, for
we believe, rightly or wrongly, that
we can outlast them. We also have
the enormous advantage that where
as they are loath to sacrifice their
high civilization for the sake of fight
ing, we, England, ask nothing better.
You see we don't believe in high
civilization and it would be the great

a combination OF both. The most essen
tIal requisite for landing first or even
second honors In any contest is abilitN,
caution, circumspection, perseverance,
patience. knowledge and many more
qualities which combine In making a
| master chess player.
All these qualities Showalter possesses

For the benefit of those readers who
are not acquainted with the record Of

may be OF interest Born at Minerva,
Ky. on May .. 1850. Showalter, after
the completion of his studies In the
public schools. high school and college.
intended to choose the profession of a
teacher. He. however. never taught in
any school. AS a chess player he made
his first mark In the national masters
tournament at Cincinnati In lSSS. where
he carried away the first prize. This
performance he repeated both at St.
Louis in 1890 and at Lexington. Ky,
IN the same year. He also contested in
tournaments at New York ia 1899 and
/ Buffalo the year following, when he won
the championship of the Empire state.
