EFFECTS OF WAR IH D. 5.
 AS TOLD in THE HaAGAzIHES

The campaign for increasing army, navy and dsfsnses Is the most obvious result Of the war in this country. It and other consequences of the war on this side. are discussed in the current magazines. Arthur Bullard writing in the Century, asks Are We a World Power?
 I do not find any warrant in the records of The Hague conferences for MT. Roosevelts contention that We are in honor bound to make other people live up to their promises. The Monroe Doctrine would be stripped of all Justification If we claimed to be a world power. We peremptorily tell the Europeans that they have no police power in the Americas, and 1t Is a poor rule that does not work both ways.
 Uniformed public opinion in the nations of the entente group would like to see us abandon our traditional attitude and protest against the Ger man violation of her treaties, but the British diplomats certainly would not We should also have to protest against their occupation of the neutral Greek 1sles. The French foreign office cer- tainly remembers that we did not pro- test when they tore up the Algeciras treaty. and the governing clique in Russia are not anxious to have us start any judicial inquiry into atroci- ties. They have ravaged too much of East Prussia and Galicia them selves to be enthusiastic for atrocity protests.
 Will They Come Here Or stay 1ome2
 A result of the war which IS going to come very close home, will be its effect on immigrations Frederic c. Howe. commissioner of immigration at the port of New York, writes on the subject In the new Scribners:

, others will be accelerated Ger many is the most socialized state ir the world. Undoubtedly when the war Is over, the existing militsristic organization will be applied to recon. struction. The same forces will be set in motion in England. Great Britain will find it impossible to go back to the individualism of former days. France, too will have great waste stretches to rebuild; she, too has a socialistic ministry with a definite political and social program state socialism on an unprecedented scale will undoubtedly be one of the by-products of the war all over Flu rope. In addition, all life has been disorganized and men will return to their work with old traditions de stroyed and new sense of social power. Under these conditions wages may rise very rapidly-to something like parity with wages In the United States. This will keep r.en at home.
 Other forces will be set in motion which will drive them to this country There will probably be from 5000 000 to l0,000,000 widows or dependent women left husbandless. fatherless and destitute by the war. Possibly twice as many children will be bereft. Millions of these women and children have friends and relatives in the Uni ted States to whom they will extend appealing arms.
 The Profits Sids Of Preparedness.
 Allan Benson, writing in Pearson 8, has the courage of his convictions, and boldly takes issued with preparedness patriotism"
 Ask the man who talks loudest about preparedness whether he wants the government to do the preparing without profit to anybody. It Is in- decent for men who stand to profit to the extent of hundreds of millions from preparedness" to urge 1t upon

the rest of the nation and expect peo- pie to take their advice at par. What manufacturer of munitions of war will be the first to step forward. and while continuing to urge preparedness advise the government to manufacture its own muf . IS? Will 1t be J. P. Morgan2 WLt 1t be Charles NJ. Schwab? Will 1t be any other of the gentlemen connected with the thirteen corporations mentioned by the Chica. 80 Tribune that in one year made out of the European war. $492, ,O00,O00f Because-mark this-the govern. ments at war do not now rely upon individual manufacturers. They no" control munitlon manufacturing If we are going to spend millions In making munitions, why not consider the object lesson which Europe ts showing us?
 If those who urge preparedness are thinking only of defence, as they says why do they urge immetse battle ships? The evidence of the navys distinguished officers Is that land de fences and under sea defences make the best defence against invasion. The munitions gentlenen are simply try Ing to do business at the expense of the public. They have enlarged their factories to fill Europeans war orders and want to ksep them .ass s..s European orders stop. According to published reports, the DuPont Powder Company which, at the beginning of the war, had but one plant, now has three; Schwab has built three addi tional factories for the manufacture of shrapnel An exporter of shrepne- told me that he was selling for sl8 a shell that cost him but S2 to manu- facture-and had orders for all he could make.-Boston Record.

Mayor Bowden Asks Governor Tram
nell to Take the Matter Up
at Once

Jacksonville, Dec. Mayor
Bowden has written "a letter to Gov.
Park Trammell, asking him to take
up the proposition of awarding med
ais to all of the Florida National
Guardsmen who are now in service
along the Mexican border. Indianap-
oils, Boston and several other cities
|of the country have awarded med
ais to their soldiers upon their re-
turn from the border.
This city has but few men on the
border, and the mayor is urging the
governor to take some steps to have
appropriate medals awarded to all OF
the troops who left the State. If the
State does not take up the PROPOSE
|tion, it is probable that an effort
will be made to procure medals for
the members of the field hospital
now on duty at San Antonio. These
are the only Jacksonville soldiers
now in the service of the federal
government.

DEATH CAME ODDLY
TO FORMER CITIZEN OF
WEST PALM BEACH

Palm Beach, Dec. 21.-C. Sher-
man Smith, brother Of Mrs. w. b.
Keen, of this city, and formerly
reported on the staff of the Sun, met
his death as the result of very
unusual accident.
Mr.. Smith had just been appoint
ed travelling auditor on the Lake.
shore Railway and, in the prosecu-
tion of his new duties, had gone to
Coalburg Station in Ohio to close up
the books + Mrs. Mutton, the station
agent.
A baggage truck standing on the
platform had by some unknown
agency been pushed far enough over
the edge Of the platform to be
caught by the Pittsburg Flyer as 1t
raced through the station at a speed
of sixty miles an hour The truck
was sent hurtling through the crowd
on the platform killing four persons
and seriously injuring four more.
Three of the dead had evidently
been thrown in front of the engine
by the impact of the truck-their
bodies being carried some distance
up the line. These three included
Mrs. Mutton, Mr.. Smith and the
telegraph operator. The body of a
bystander, Charles Bennett, gro
Gerry clerk, was picked up at a dis
tance of $50 yards down the track.
OF the four injured, two were sent
to the hospital and the Others were
able to return to their own homes.
mckinley, the telegraph agent, had
just been promoted to Mrs. Mutton's
place, 30 that the entire station stan
was wiped out at one blow.
While such catastrophe is ex-
tremely rare from such a cause, It
is obvious that little carelessness,
ian incline in the platform, or .
strong pun of wind lending impetus
Ito the truck not drawn up parallel
Ito the track, and not having its
wheels checked, could readily cause
such an accident. 1t is thought.
however, that In this instance the
truck had been moved to place Of
danger by some small boys. The
load on the truck consisted of q
bunch of bananas, baskets of onions,
Iautomobile tires and other articles.
(which were tossed two hundred feet,
land the truck completely demol-
fshed.

companied by a reporter from the

she has accompanied her husband on
numerous trips, and has the distinc-
ton Of being the first woman in the
country who ever made an interna-

RAIDER from Buffalo to Port Erie
Canada, besides making dozen 9TH
