THE CASE OF ELLEN STONE

INCE Col. Roosevelt made
. his boast that during ms his
seven years as president
there were no outrages against
Americans by representatives
Of any foreign government it
has been recalled that it was
during Roosevelt's time that
Miss Ellen Stone, American
missionary in Turkey, was cap
tured and held for ransom.
In 1901 Miss Stone was kid
naped by Macedonian brigands
and held for ransom. These
brigands were Turkish sub
jects, but Turkey would not
take steps to rescue her. AT

PEACE, PROSPERITY PRE-
PAREDNESS

@LTHOUGH the time for
- holding the national con-
ventions is almost upon us
there is a pronounced lack OF
public interest. This can be at
tributed chiefly to the fact
there is no occasion for worry
over national affairs and no
keen demand for a change.
The Wilson administration IS
meeting all essential require
ments. We have peace, we
have prosperity in unbounded
form, and congress is hard at
work on thoroughgoing pre-
paredness program. If the
conference report on the army
bill is adopted by both houses,
congress will have done every
thing possible toward prepar-
edness without requiring COM
pulsory service which the coun-
try will not sanction at this
time.
Peace, prosperity and pre-
paredness looms just now as
the Wilson slogan for next No
vember. Circumstances al
present Justify that slogan and
if it stands through the presl-
dental campaign it will make
Wilson invincible.

war AND FINANcE.-,

WAR AND FINANcE.-The real
cause for the war was the rivalry be-
tween high finance in England and
Germany. The glory-hdnters' craze
for a tryout runs second and the
war-material manufacturers eager
ness for an upswing in their bust
ness comes third.
The progress of Germany since It's
unifcation in 1871 has stirred up
England to see a challenger for SUI
premacy in the worlds business.
France was more than willing to
lend helping hand for getting back
the spoils Of it's last war, to get re-
venge for Sedan; and Russia is al
ways ready for scrap with anybody
where there is a chance of increas-
ing its domains.
Financiers don't back at anything
for increasing their wealth. Henry
Ford Of Detroit is the exception. Il
