1t is interesting to observe that the

circulated in a church there last Sum
day-presumably circulated the same
day in many churches. 1t is like a
pay envelope and is provided with a
metal clip attaching small pencil.
1t is inscribed, "To carry forward the

SOME USES
OF HISTORY.

"What do care about Napoleon 2"
Henry Ford, who never reads history,
is said to have remarked. "What do
we care about what they did 500 or
1000 years ago? History is more or
less bunk. It's tradition. We don't
want tradition. We want to live in
the present, and the only history that
is worth tinker's dam is the history
I'VE make today"
An exchange in commenting upon
this supreme contempt for the past
says it may be all right for man
whose principal interest in life is the
internal, mechanism of an automobile
and the best methods of selling his
cars, but when it comes from a man
who is in the field. more or less hu-
morously, to be sure, as candidate
for Presidential nomination, it puts
in a striking light his mental limita-
tions and shows why his recent Eu-
ropean peace expedition was such a
chastity fasco. Without going into
a dissertation on the value of history
it may be said briefly that one OF
it's most important lessons is to snow
how by studying past mistakes we
may avoid similar ones in our own
day.

PROSPECTS
FOR PEACE

There can be no doubt that Ger
many is greatly interested in the
peace talk now heard in the United
States. The extravagant demands OF
that country, however, are still keep
ing the dove at distance, and so
long as Germany continues to retain
in her overtures the preposterous de-
mand that the present map of Eu-
rope be formally recognized by her
antagonists, the war will 60 on.
Dispatches from Berlin says there
is apparently no harm, from either a
political or a strategical standpoint,
in saying that Germany would
welcome peace But such talk as that
credited to Arthur Won Gwinner, the
managing director of the Deutschc
Bank, Berlin, is calculate dto cast all
the fat into the fire. He says: Ger
many is in the position Of a poker
player who has gathered in all the
money on the table and naturally is
willing to break off an all-night ses-
tion and retire with his winnings,
while the others persist in continu
ing in the hope of recouping some of
their losses. The cards, however, to
continue the smile, are running
strongly in the Germans favor"
The ancients personified fortune and
represented her as capricious jade.
She leaves US abruptly and without
formal notification of her purpose.
The run of cards is equally as un-
certain.
The allies seem determined to re-
main at the table.
Every male British subject of the
age of eighteen and up to forty-one
is regarded as enlisted in the military
service of the realm unless he comes
under the exceptions made in the
compulsory service bill. The entire
effective male population of the coun-
try is now in the army, the act to go
into force in thirty days time, the
King having already signed the bill.
Coupled with the statement Of Sir
Edward Gray that Germany would
have to stop talking of the Allies as
beaten and employ other methods if
it wants them seriously to consider
peace, and the emphatic declaration
that so far from being beaten, the
Allies will beat the Germans, this
enlistment of the men of the realm
into the army constitutes prctlcal
and disheartening answer to the
question, Is peace at hand:
What England has done with its
five million of men does not appear
but that it has this army with vast
reserve provided for in the bill just
become law. indicates the grimness
of the English in the war and deter
mination to carry it to success at all
odds.

CRASH OF
EMPIRES.

An evangelist in an address IN
Richmond last Sunday said:
"The war, which has transformed
Europe from family of peaceful ma
tions into hell CT sanguinary strife
is not a strange thing to the student
of the Word of God. While civillza-
ton reels at the spectacle Of Chrlsten-
dom submerged in bloody conflict,
the Bible student has been expect
ing Just such death grapple be-
tween the greatest forces the human
race has produced. He is also looking
for the setting up of another great
world empire.
The speaker mutual in few words
wnat many others have been urging
during the past half a century OF
more. According to their interpreted
ton of the book of Daniel,
four universal empires were to exist
In the world from the time Of Nc
buchadnezzar to the time of the end
The last of these was to be DIVIDED
into ten smaller kingdoms. and these
were to be in power when the King
dom of heaven, represented 6y the
: great stone cut out of the mountain
without hands, was to take the place
of all earthly Kingdoms.
History It is claimed completely
bears out this forecast. Babylon was
the first universal empire This was
represented by the head of gold.
in the composite image which Nebu-
chadnczzar saw in his dream. Another
great kingdom was to arise after
Babylon, represented by the breast
and arms of silver. This was Medic
Persia, which overthrow Babylon
Then third kingdom, represented
by the waist and thighs of brass. was
to arise and bear rule over all the
earth. This was Greece, which dcs'
troyed Medo-rcrsia. Then a fourth
kingdom of iron was to succeed
Greece. This was the great iron mon
archy of Rome.
Rome in turn was to be divided
into ten kingdoms, represented by the
ten toes of the image, which were
composed of iron and clay, sore
strong and some weak. These ten
Kingdoms were the Allemanni Ger
many, the Franks (France), the Bur-
gundians (SwitzerlanN, the Sucvl
iPortugaN, the Vandals, the Anglo
Saxons (Englandl. the Visigoths
(Spain). the Heruli. the Ostrogcths,
and the Lombards Qtalyl.
In the days of these kings, tha,
IS, in the days-of the modern nations
of Europe, The God Of heaven was
to set up His kingdom which should
never be destroyed. It was to break
IN pieces and consume all the NATIONS
of the earth, and it was TO stand Tor
even. 1t is claimed by students Of
prophecy that we are now living il

WALKER DISTRICT
 MINES AGAIN IN FAVOR
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Quite an important mining deal was consummated in this city yesterday afternoon. when the Iambcrtinc and Grub Stake groups at Walker were taken over by J. NJ. AIcCullon and Arthur Carwille. the sellers being w. s Conner and son, w. L. Conner.
 The consideration calls for S30,O00 on a bond to run for six months. with a cash payment made of S5,O06 Messers. McCullon and Carwillc rep resent Eastern investors, and they take charge immediately and start development.
 This sale again brings the Sheldon lode into prominence for It's possibil- ities, as was determined short time ago when the Eureka strike occurred. Both above groups form mineral ogical relationship with ;he mother lcdc of that field. which is indisput- able, the product of one being identi- cal to the other, with the Grub Stake as an extension of the Eureka. Past production from the Conner holdings gave returns of from Sl54 to $500 per ton at smelters. while the milling grade averaged S35 to the ton. The old Capitol group, in the same belt and forming a link in that mineral chain, gave returns of over S4OO0b net. in a shaft sunk less than 80 feet deep. The desirability of investing in that field, IS strengthened by what deep development has proven on the Sheldon group. The possibilities are equally attractive for McCullon and Corwille determining another big proportion after their operating plans gre carried out
