The Bright Side.

Theodore II. Price. who writes in
the Worlds Work, takes issue with
philosophers and economist from Aris-
totle to Mill. and attempts to show
that war in the past has always had
a beneficial effect on business even
during the course of the war. and that
the present worldwide conflict is no
exception to the rule. The first effect
of war. he says, is panic caused by
the impact of the shock But there
after. and within a comparatively
short period. business revives and a
time of financial activity follows that
generally becomes a veritable boom
before peace can be discerned. He
sees prosperity for both beligerents
and neutrals. even now at hand. In
England, he finds. the ship building
industry was never so prosperous:
there is very little unemployment in
London: the wooden mills are work
ing over time. the iron works are busy
and the demand for coal exceeds the
output of the mines. In Germany
business is said to he good. To show
the soundness of financial conditions
in Great Britain a quotation is made
from a cable report from London at
the end of December. normally a per
iod of tight money.
History is held to show that pros
perity always accompanies war. The
Napoleonic war cost England about
SO. 100000 and France nearly as
much. Then. as now. bankruptcy for
Europe was predicted, but Macaulay
later alluding to that prophecy. says:
THE beggard. the bankrupt society
not only proved able to meet all its
obligations. but while meeting them
grew richer and richer so fast that
the growth could almost be discerned
by the eye" The Crimean and the
Franco-Prussian wars are said to have
been similarly concurrent with per
iods of increased business activity.
The Beor war says Mr.. Price, was
followed by the greatest trade expan-
sion England has ever known. and the
decade following the Spanish-Amer-
ican war shows a business expansion
in the United States that seems al
most miraculous in suddenness and
volume. Our own great civil war is
held by the writer in the Worlds
Work to be the most striking example
of prosperity in war time and imme-
diately following.-Des Moines Cap

MAZDA LAMPS

These wonderful lamps make it
possible for Neighbor Wiseman to
have electric light in every room in
his house. Small MAZDAS burning
all night make it safe for him to go
from cellar to garnet at any hour.
fleighbor Wiseman enjoys all this
convenience because he has learned
thatwith EDISON MAZDA Lamps
he can get three times as much light
as he previously got with old-style
carbon lamps-and still use no more
electricity than he used before.

convenience of these lamps to you.

How the Tide Was Turned on the
 Marne.
General Gallieni Hurls 10000 Men by Taxicab Against German Flank and Forces Retreat to
 the Aisne.
By FRANKLIN p. MERRicK.

International News Service.)
 Paris.-It is not generally known that the Battle of the Marne was won by automobiles. General Gallieni had 400 taxicabs and other light motor cars at his disposal. It will be remem- bered that Won Kluck with the right of the German army got as far as Cham piley. General Gallieni. as military gov ernor of Paris, had large force, prob ably half million men, at his disposal and he was responsible for the defense of Paris.
 Gallieni figured that he had more men than he really needed and that 10000 of his men could be spared for work at the front
 Acting entirely upon his own re- sponsibility, he ordered his men to crowd into the automobiles. He made each taxicab carry nine soldiers. It was a curious sight. There were two in each seat, two on the hood, one with the driver and one on each run ming board.
 Within six hours he threw the whole 10000 against the flank of the Ger mans at Meaux, about thirty-five miles from Paris. Won Kluck evidently had not reckoned with such a sortie. He was forced to stop and give battle. The French, retiring on his front reformed and gave battle. The result was the retreat of the Germans from Marne to the Aisne after the sanguinary bat tie named from the first river.
 This is only one of the great exploits of the French army automobile trans port service. No other nation in this war has used the motor car with the effectiveness of the French. The auto mobile transport service is organized as a separate branch. Working with amazing rapidity just after the begin ming of the war, the French army offi- cers drafted into this corps men who had been employed in automobile nufacture-foremen, skilled work men, testers and drivers. The officers were drawn from the manufacturers. agents and other heads of automobile organizations. The heaviest trucks are uSeu ioi diuiuuhitioh Saiiiois anu iiSht- CT commercial vehicles for the food supply. General Mongin commands the whole corps.
 Some noted French race drivers are now in the army service. Boillot alter mates with the Marquis D'Albufera in driving General Joffre's car. Several machines are kept ready day and night for General Joffre and 1t is no unusual

WAR STATS CAUSE DIVORCE
Use of French Language Classified as Offense-Suspects Tried by

Basel, SwitZerland.-Germ mar. tial law Is described by Alsatians in Basel as weighing heavily" upon their countrymen at home.
 They declare that the speaking of French is classified as an oifense un- der the orders issued by the com manding generals of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Twenty-frst German Army corps, who cite the imperial laws of 1878 and 1882 to SUD- port their contention. The testimony of the children and servants Is taken as proof before court-martial of guilt of talking French.
 Personal feeling between pro-French and pro-German Alsatians is running high, visiting Als..tians declare. The local courts have granted divorces re- gently to husbands and wives unable to live harmoniously because of their opposing national sympathies.
