tages of health, wealth and WisdOm and asks nothing from anybody, but the right to live free and untrammeled The nation has outgrown itself. In all the years of peace it has never TOT once entertained the idea of being aClacked by an outside foe. But with the coming of the European war this view was materially altered. Events or the past twelve months have shown that America is susceptible to antag- onlsm from many quarters. Bearing this in mind, then, the people of the nation, or the vast majority of them have decided to awaken the slumber- ing giant and make him put on his armament, for defense only
 The idea of preparedness is a mag n1ficent one, a great and noble thought, far greater than the average man bethinks. It is not the selfish motive of protection that is making America ponder over it's future vel fare, although that enters somewhat
 
 the people of this land, the only one of it's kind on the face of the universe, are asking themselves the question, How long is democracy going to live? ?'' And in answering that question the only phrase that comes to mind is "So long as the men who live under this form of government are prepared to fight for the great principles laid down by those who fought for democ- racy." If liberty is not worth fighting for. it is not worth enjoying. If the United States of America is not worth defending, it is time that all the ships in the navy were sold for scrap iron and the army disbanded, time that some European king or potentate were given full control of the country. But we are preparing to- see that no such thing is brought about preparing to take care of our liberty and the future welfare of all those little nations on this hemisphere who have placed their faith in the greatest democracy the world ever knew. This is what pl -pareIr ess means, if it means any thing.

"LOngest Way Round"
(BOston POst.)

The old saying, "The longest way round is the shortest way hOme,H is we'll exemplified by the statement just given out as to the journey of 25, 900 Russian soldiers from PetrOgrad 10 Marseilles. It is now definitly known that these troops travelled some IT, 900 miles to reach a point not over 1700 miles away by the European overland route. It is the mOs- re- markable transportation of fighting men that the world has ever seen.
 It is possible that this force of 5000 may have, strictly speaking, no military effect on the conduct of the war; though even in that regard it is conceivable that such a contingent might save the day at some Vitally important point. But whatever it's physical impress on the western fight ing line, the heartening moral effect of the arrival as showing friendship and the desire to cooperate must be very great.
 The French are said to be the most appreciative people in Europe. No wonder, then that they go about their work with better cheer because the Russians have COmes i..

 Danish Wesf Indies

Washington, D. C., May 13.-In con- ed States and Denmark are reported to be approaching an agreement on terms for the purchase of the Danish West Indies, the National Geographic society, from its Washington head quarters, has issued the following bulletin:-
 eff the United States and Denmark strike bargain and the three islands which comprise the Danish West h. dies are transferred to the former, the sale will marke the continuation of a bit of bartering which began nearly fifty years ago, when the American government offered $7,5O0,OO0 for the 13S square miles of territory. in the Antilles, a sum exceeding by $500, 900 the price paid to Russia in the same year I1867) for the vast, rich terri tory of Alaska, comprising an area more than four thousand times as large. The sale was not consummat- ed, because the United States senate failed to ratify the treaty. Fourteen years ago negotiations were renewed and a price of $5,00O,00O was agreed upon, but this time the Danish parlia- ment refused to sanction the sale, al- though the islands had been governed at a loss to the mother country for many years, in fact ever since slavery was abolished in 1848, thereby putting an end to the profitable operation of the sugar plantations.
 These three islands of the Virgin group-St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John, in the order of their size and population-were discovered by Col umbus in 1493. Spanish, British, French, Dutch and Danish flags have floated over one or all of the islands at various times. St. Croix, lying six tv-five miles southeast of Porto Rico, has an area of eighty-four square miles, and is the most prosperous of the group, with it's two towns of Christianstad and Frederikstad. It was held at one time by the Knights of Malta. having been given to that fa- nous order by Louis XIV of France.
 "St. Thomas, which lies only forty miles east of Porto Rica, was at one

time the chief distributing center of West Indian trade, it's importance be- ing directly attributable to the fact that the mother counry, Denmark, maintained it's neutrality during the numerous European wars of the eigh- teenth century. The temporary occu- patton of the island by the British during several periods of the Napol- comic wars added further to the i'm portance of the chief port, Charlotte Amalie, where merchant vessels rode at anchor in the magnificent land locked harbor while waiting for con- voys to protect them on the voyage across the Atlantic. This town, with a population of less than 10000, main- ly negroes, is still an important coal ing station for steamers in the West Indian trade. With a depth of from twenty-seven to thirty-siX feet of wa ter the roadstead can accommodate the largest merchant ships which sail these seas. The export and import trade has become negligible since the rapid decline of the sugar industry which the Danish government has tried in vain to revive by granting an nual subsidies.
 'St. John, least important of the is lands, lying four miles to the east of St. Thomas, has an area of twenty-One square miles. It is scarcely more than a ten-mile mountain ridge with but one distinguishing feature, Coral Bay, the best harbor of refuge in the An titles, Cruxbay, a village of one thou sand inhabitants on the northern shore, is the center of population.
 "While Danish is the official Ian guage of the islands, English is quite generally spoken. The mOnOtony of existence is not infrequently broken by earthquakes and hurricanes.
 eff Denmark decides to part with these islands there will remain to her only two colonial ssessions-Green- land and Iceland, which have an az gregate area more than five times as large as the mother country, but with only one-twenty- the popula- ton. The 13S square miles of Den marks West Indian territory sustain nearly three times as many people as the 46,74O square miles of Greenland

lowing for support, and ln this way hopes to promote the campaign of the citizen from Oyster Bay. Another issue which will take a prominent part in the Keystone state at the primaries tomorrow is the Henry Ford boom. The peace-at-any-p price men, backed by the so-called German American voters, are out to write the name of the automobile maker in the blank space on the ballot. Because Penn sylvania is a beehive of munitions in dustry those who are all wrought up over America sending ammunition abroad are determined to assert them selves tomorrow. The outcome will be interesting, as it may change the entire national political situation.

Watering The Cow.
(New York Press. )

People for the most part don't drink milk because it is white or because it is wet. They drink 1t be- cause it is a food, and they expect 1 it to sustain and nourish them. What shall we say, then, of the proposal to ! remove the Department Of Agri-
 cultures standards of milk content?
 It was seriously suggested Tt
 conference here that the Govern ment requirements as to butter fat and solids not fat be abolished, and that the Australian system, which demands only purity, be substituted. It was argued that the present stand ard, 3.25 per cent. of butter fat 95 per cent. of solids not fat, is too high. Inspection of thousands of head of milch cattle was cited, in which Ii was stated that a high percentage of the animals could not produce milk of this richness.
 Did not would be a better phrase for there was nothing to show that many of the cows producing that OW-standard milk got any more ai tention than milking twice .a day and a pasture to graze in. Raising crop in COW is just like raising one out side of it-it requires care, inteIH- gence and knowledge.
 But assume that the cows could not produce milk up to the standard. That would simply prove the standard is too high, not that there should be no standard at all. You could lead a COW to a mountain spring and, be- tween the two, fill a barrel with T pure, white liquid that wouldn't harm the most delicate invalid. But it wouldn't be milk, and it wouldn't be worth paying money for
 Need for a lower standard there may be, although we doubt it. But need for some reasonable standard there certainly is, if people who buv milk are to get milk. If the Depart ment of Agriculture should be foolish enough to abolish it's standard we hope the New York health authori- ties will have foresight enough to protect our own babies

GOING UP.

Since the war pecan prices on almost all the necessal es of life have been on the up grade, aud there has been no halt. Instead, the high cost of living is. becoming even higher and, we are told from reliable economic sources, in the future prices will be much higher than they are today The average head of the family is wonder ing where it will all end, is making preparations for long-drawn-out siege. And rightly so. When the war is over no one knows what will take place, and any curtailment in the extravaganza of living must be set in now in order to prove beneficial then.
 Reports from Berlin state that the good housewives of that city are ex- periencing great diculty in getting foodstutfs even at high prices. Meat has reached the abnormal price of two marks a pound, about fifty cents in our money, and this does not by any means afford the choicest cuts. What meat there is available at this price IS not over abundant and the women are forced to be up early and at the butchers before their neigh bors, if they are to get the family supplied
 In America conditions are not as bad as that, but they now show all the ear- marks of starting out on such a plane. Representative of the various European powers are in this country at the present moment buying up all the available supplies for their armies and their civilian population. This competition between the powers in our market is directly the cause for prices being sent to the top, and no one particular commodity is affected, but all the things that are needed by the ordinary family are caught in the swirl. All kinds of clothing, foot wear in general, and foodstuffs in fact, everything that man needs to while out an existence is in some fashion or other affected. This condition in CuIu IS DllflSlDS dDOuI all luCIedSo III wages in some of the various indus- tries; but those who labor in the mer- cantile pursuits, those who follow c1er- ical lines are experiencing none of the ! benefits and reaping all the hardships. { So even if the war has brought about a certain form of prosperity it must be remembered that this prosperity does not reach down into every nook and corner of the country. It has done i one great thing, to be sure,-it has 1 lessened the number of unemployed in 1 this country; but it has also made life 1 just a trif1e more difficult for the faith 1 f1ll old servant who stuck to his books 1 through thick and thin and who must 1 now pay the advanced cost of living l because of his neighbors' increased wages.
