that energy and standard of personal honor which now make them formidable. Exactly this process, to some extent, is now going on in Japan, though for an- other reason. With trade thus ennob1ed ed thus insured a country would be apt to fare better in the worlds com petition.
 There is also the enormously important question of the national budget to con slider.
 War is wasteful both in process and in anticipation. The interest upon the debt necessitated by the present war is going to be an intolerable burden, the replace ment of this wars waste will be costly; the lessened labor supply for years to come is likely to be a handicap. If you add to all this the cost of preparation for war on large scale, what is the out look for the military powers? National poverty and suffering are the fruits, with an end put to that social advancement, among the less well to do, which marks our time. It is not a pleasant prospect; and to escape it, to escape the higher taxes, the diminished comforts, the dam ger of more war, emigration, still further depicting the labor supply, is probable.
 These are the reasons which convine me that the abolition of the conschiption system would profit political society, would really advantage Germany itself; moreover that it is the only way of put ting an end to mlitarism which would be at once effective and in harmony with the worlds sense of justice.
 Can the allies rise to such heights, can they achieve such results, can they abol- csh their own mlitarism on land and sea, after a reasonable interval? To speak plainly it can only be after decisive vic- tory. For if Germany wins or a dead lock results, then her system wins. and we must all initiate it. But is not the ideal worth fighting for?

Hunger to Decide the War

Charlton Bates Strayer in Leslie's.
 Lack of food will decide the war" says the Copenhagen Ribes Stitis Tidende. "Germany will be unable to carry on the war until the end of the year." Ger man papers admit the serious shortness in certain supplies particularly meat, but ter and fats but the most. convincing evidence of the growing acuteness of the problem of feeding 70,000,000 people is the appointment of Herr von Battocki as food dictator with the supreme au- thority over all the food supplies through out the empire The willingness of the federal states to surrender their prerog- ative in the creation of a food dictator ship for the whole nation is significant of the seriousness of the situation. The

south German states did not come to this position, however, without objec- tion; for example, one branch of the city council of Stuttgart protested against the introduction of uniform food distri- button throughout the empire lat the expense of the south of Germany" Tt is no longer any secret that certain sup plies are short" says the Lokal Anzei- ger, mot so much as a result of the friendly efforts of our enemies, but as result of last years poor harvest" The Berliner Tageblatt declares there should be no need for the people to stand for hours outside the butter, meat and cof- fee shop and says 'On this point our much-famed organization has completely failed" In similar vein Vorwarts says, ''We are suffering from absolute want of certain supplies. from bad organization in the distribution of what there is, and from neglect to take the proper meas ures to increase the supplies"

THE BOYS IN THE WOODS

Youth should watch joys and shor them as they fly"
 The Boys club goes to war with th' "chiggers" and bees on Kelly creek, leav p.g the city Wednesday, June 2S, at 12:9' o'clock
 This is an annual event, and the hearts of tte bcys beat with joy at the privi- lese of game with nature. There they hunt, fish eat, sleep and swim in play time, and have bit of military train ing without the guns while on duty.
 This is a lew thing, this building of rner cut of youth by the environment of juvenile camp life. Today growing to manhood is a system of preparation, and the Boys cub is preparing some If our future nen for duty.

 Visitors days for the first camp will be Sunday, July 2, and Tuesday, July f. On the second camp guests are ex- pected Tuesday, July Il. and Sunday, July 16. The route by automobile is through Irondale on to camp via Stew arts crossroads.
 By railway, the Southern to Bromp- ton, thence a beautiful three-mile drive. A wagon can be had at the station. The camp Is an ideal spot said Camp Direc- tor c. F. Tillery.
 It is secluded in the mountain ridges along Kelly creek, with the green be- heath and the blue above;;' cold spring water sweet, fresh air, and the warm, clear waters of Kelly, where you can wade and swim and dive and row and fish. Wild flowers growing by the hun dreds, trees of most every description, wild animals and birds and a creek full of fish. Acres and acres of woods for roaming, mountains to climb, paths to explore, and farm neighborhood filled with kindly neghbors. A place for your boy to live close to nature and listen to her teachings. The place for your boy to find himself; and the time for your boy to adjust himself. The objective of the camp is

figuresines which she dresses in modish gowns and can be seen in many windows in art shops along the Avenue de IOperd. Americans had an opportunity to know her dolls at the San Francisco fair. Her clown won first prize and was bought by Chicago banker. In the interest of charity he gave $40 for it.
 And who buys these dolls? Naturally, one would say they were bought for have themselves become victims of the rag doll fad. Many society women are making a doll collection in the same spirit that they collect rare examples of old 1aces, antique furniture, or pagan jewelry. Fo1 sometime past it has been a caprice of a number of French actresses to collect dolls.
 Mile. Yrveau has, for instance, minia- ture museum in her apartment. Four hundred dolls make the collection repre- senting all the countries in the world. They are fetish with her. Wheneve. she interprets new role a member of this inanimate family is singled out, taken to her dressing room and there remains until all fear of failure is removed.
 Mile. Marnac has the doll collection, too. Her dolls fill a pleasant mission, for theil costumes are exact counterparts of those worn by her in the different plays. Thus it can be seen that dolls historically dressed, as many of them are, have an educative value. They can, and have, become splendid costume documents.

Way to Prevent Wars

Theodore S. WoolSey, ILL. D., in Leslie'S.
 What is the military prowess of Prus- sia based upon? I think it is based upon her system of conscription-a nation trained to arms and accustomed to the thought of war-and upon the enormous social influence of the military caste. So long as the race has arms and is trained to use them led by men in the profession of arms, there is a presumption in favor of war, particularly if people can be made to believe that war is profitable. My point then is that the effective way scription, the widespread if not universal obligation. to serve under the colors in the days of ones youth.
 Let us see how such a change would be likely to result.
 As time went on, with the youth of the country untrained to war and a people not listening as at present for the word to mobilize, the whole aspect of Euro pean diplomacy would alter because political society would know that the lightning stroke, the bolt out of the blue, was no longer possible.
 It takes time, nine months to a year, to train and equip an army, during which interval there is a chance to reflect, to weigh consequences. War would be then, not impossible, but less probable, and with a lessened likelihood of sudden war, the relations with other states would, theoretically at least, grow closer, and armed conflict become gradually unthink- able as it is now between Great Britain and ourselves.
 Look also at the probable result of the abolition of conscription upon the officer class With but few soldiers to com mand. enough only for ceremonial and police purposes. the military caste would find it's occupation gone, for an officer without men looks like a fool. In conse- quence, the sons of the gentry, now adopting arms as profession a s mat ter of course must seek professional or commercial career, carrying Into it

FOR RHEUMATISM

As soon as an attack of rheumatism

Mrs. Redfelds remarks We're so
different from the remarks usually
made that they are entitled to publica-
tion. The people generally are very
quick to register complaints and are
inclined to be angry with the paper
because it does not indulge in harsher
expressions toward public service

unmindful of the efforts made to give
the people a good gas service, and
the gas company is entitled to credit

Cathedral MANY Centuries Old.

Notre Dame cathedral in Paris was
erected in the year 52S by Childe'
bert, and afterwards demolished, the
same site being used for the present
building, which was begun in 1853 and
finished in 1851. Alexander III. laid
the foundation stone, the first mass
being celebrated by the patriarch
Heracltus. The grand old building
has been sorely beset by many dan
gers, and has witnessed many strange
and stirring scenes.
