The challenge of the Su-
perman was never given so in
solently as on that LIST of Au-
gust except on one occasion.
That was when Apollyon, 'strid-
ing across the way" said: by
this l perceive that thou art
one of my subjects for all that
country is mine, and I am the
Prince and God of it. How is it
then that thou hast run away
from thy King? Were it not
that l hope thou mayst do me
more service, l would strike thee
now at one blow to the ground. "
And the reception of this chal-
lenge was that which has been
made by the spirit of man what
ever it has been given since: Il
fought till my sword did cleave
to my hand and when they were
Joined together, as if the sword
grew out of my arm; and when
the blood run through my fin
gers, then l fought with the
most courage" So the defender;
, of Liberty are receiving that
challenge today; and though thu
: blood run through their fingers
+ they will not give up the swOrC
/, until ApOllyon falls.

old things are not so easily

God is a false god. Fallible
Efficiency, Frightfulness unfear-

world must fall on its face.
This is not the god that was

another of its blunders it count

was taken by surprise when
Brusilof's avalanche fell upon

ripped his knife through the
Turkish Empire. Frightfulness
has done it's work, but not the
work it was so infallibly to do
it frightened nobody, but 1t

Two Years of the superman.

Two Years of the Superman.
From the New York Times.
The Empire of Efficiency be-
gan the War of Frightfulness,
on Aug. l, 1914. On Aug. l.,
1915, the outlook for liberty and
democracy was at its darkest.
The second year will end on
Tuesday and light is breaking.
The first year ended with the
Superman everywhere in the as
cendant; the second year ends
with the common men and the
little peoples coming toward
their own. On the eve of Aug. J.,
1916, what had been the gener-
al faith on the eve of Aug. /,
1914, what had seemed a broken
creed on Aug. l, 1915, is COM
ing out plain again from the
murk-that arrogance, ego
tism, cruelty, and tyranny can
not conquer the world, that in
the warfare between Ormuzd
and Adrian, Ahriman cannot
win. 1t is the lesson we learn
from Napoleon, from the An
Glen Regime, from many incar-
nations of Ahriman, but the
world forgets and needs to
learn again.
A year ago Efficiency was
driving the Russians pell-mell
before it, held the Western
Allies helpless, was about to be-
gin the destruction of Serbia and
the working of British disaster
in the Ottoman Empire. Only at
sea and in Africa were the Allies
dominant. Today Efficiency and
Frightfulness are surrounded
and beleaguered; they have nc
longer any chance Of resuminl
their offensive, and their only
hope now is to resist so stub.

ly right moment. Eficiency's
methods were as certain as arith-
metic.
Among Efficiency's attributes
is that of being able to forsee
every step, not by divination
but by methodical preparation.
Had not Efficiency arranged in
advance every step of the war
of 1870, and had not everything
come out accordingly? So now
Efficiency was to cross unresist-
ing Belgium and sweep over de-
cadent France to Paris within a
certain number of-weeks. France
was to be conquered before the
clumsy Russian could reach for
his gun, and then the one re-
naming opponent was to be
fought to a standstill by all the
armies of Germany and Austria
Hungary.
But The moment Belgium's soil
was touched Britain declared
war, and the sun was closed to
Efficiency. Efficiency must feed
herself unaided. Somehow,
Efficiency had Numbered; her
diplomats and spies had misin-
formed her, their salaries and
expense accounts had been was
ted in a manner, that smelled,
somehow, of Inefficiency; for
what they had reported to her
was what any mere Inefficient,
with eyes in his head, who had
spent a month in England, could
have told here was not true. No
matter; the conquest Of France
was easy, Russia could not fully
mobolize before she would be
grappled with, and Britain with
her Contemplate little army
could be forced to a favorable
peace.
Belgium Unexpectedly resisted

Tn ecurrent year. however much larger areas are being prepared under conditions which indicate very satisfactory cleanups for the season. Fifteen placer mining parties have es- tablished their camps along the creek, and others are outfitting in Prescott for the same field.

 Colorado capital is invested in the Fl Dorado Company. a corporation that began placer mining operations on Upper Lynx Creek late last fall. The Wichita Mining Company is oper- ating successfully in the Hassayampa field through the medium of a convey or system to recover the gold. Plans are likewise well advanced for estab- fishing a big dredge on the Hassayam- pa for placer purposes. Ten man are now employed in testing the aurifer- ous areas on four large ranches which were recently purchased by the pro moters of the enterprise.
