where autocracy's iron rule is strong
est They are not incapable of appre-
ciating the full meaning of the war in
all its phases. They weigh in their
minds today, with the factors clearly
understood, the probabilities of the
future. They know as clearly as their
leaders what prize is sought: they
know as clearly as their leaders wha:
sacrifices must be made to gain it;
as clearly, too, they know whether
they are willing to make these sacri :
fices and. if willing, if they are equal
to them.
The feeling has grown almost to
conviction, too. that these prizes may
be won at the council table as on the

New York business men have started
a move to employ aged men because
of the accidental scarcity of boys to do
the usual office work. They pronounce
the scheme a success. They are de-
termined to adopt it permanently.
They find that aged men are more po-
lite, willing and serious than the ma
jority of young boys of today. These
men, it is said. realize that they are
occupying minor positions and do not
display an inclination to run the es-
tablishment. Also the new scheme is
more economical. Three men at $12
a week proved to be capable of as
much work as six boys at t$7 a week.
and they accomplished the work in
much less time and created less care
and painful responsibilities for the

REASON MUST TRIUMPH.

Nations at peace may, and many

nations at war have seldom. is ever,

have been made by the nation having
enjoyed the greatest measure of sue

been beaten dowr to utter helpless,
ness. History has rarely set down an
account wherein one contender was
found to be hopelessly defeated to the
point where it was compelled to accept
without protest unfavorable terms In
the great wars this has more espe-
cially been true. For this reason, says
the Deseret News, the great peace
parleys of history have been marked
by debates of the greatest intensity,
the mighty contending for acquies-
cence to the stern demands their gov
ernments presented, and the weaker
still conscious of some measure of
physical power in their armies and

sions, not so impassioned as those from
the other side. indicate that in the
division of opinion in Europe there
is a considerable proportion of the
people that is stopping long enough
to give deliberate consideration to the
