Kept Us Out of War

Hr. Wilson and his friends claim ne
mas kept Us out of war, but with our
coast Uttered up with the wreckage Of
vessels sunk within ten miles Of our
shore it looks ike the war was right
at our doors. Over q hundred thous-
and Of our men are in arms, several
thousand Of them across the border in
another country, and some holding
ports in distant Lands that don't be
long to Us, hundreds Of our citizens
killed on land and sea by foreigners,
American women outraged and their
children butchered, hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars worth Of American
property destroyed-and they say We
are not at war No indeed~we are as
peaceful as an Irish paddy at an
Orange picnic. It certainly doesn't
take any Of the sting out Of war to
have a lot Of demagogues call it
peace.

"They STAYED and Died.
From the Chicago Herald.

The sternest test of the mettle of the
soldier comes during a retreat. The sue
cessful conduct OF rear guard actions
| which will enable the major part of q
force to elude a superior enemy involves
a ourage. discipline and willingness to
sacrifice oneself greater than is usually
required To the soldiers of the victorious
army naturally goes the palm of victory,
but one is inclined to reserve the greenes
who give themselves as a willing sacri-
flee. foredoomed and ~foreknOwing, that
their comrades may be saved.
A dispatch from London tells how two
companies of Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers,
one Of the Irish regiments in the British
divisions that nay been retiring from
Serbia, %gallantly made this sacrifice. Ire
m~endously o~utnumbered by the Bulgarian
forces. without artillery support, they
still held a ridge until the rest of the
British forces had a chance to retire and
prepare a new defensive position. Hardly
one OF the lrishinen escaped. But they
did not fall until they had done their
work and once more shown the mettle Of
the race from which they came.
They stayed and died. In the Pan
theon which the Ireland of Home Rule
will raise to perpetuate the names and
shelter the memory of the deeds which
have added luster to the race these now
unnamed heroes will not be forgotten.
Some tablet will stand therein inscribed
with the names of all the Kellys. Burkes.
and Sheas who have known how to l;1ht
the weary stretches and the wearier mem
cries OF a lost campaign with the fadeless
splendor of a high and heroic death.

Mr.. Wilson and his advisors will see, not
the unfortunate human beings helpless

spite of the abnormal demand and
higher prices in the latter half of the
year, much of the sulphuric acid had
been contracted for or wa consumed

tirnated production indicates an in
crease of 6h per cent in the three com
mon grades, but more than 100 per cent
in the strongest grades.
The estimate of Portland cement
output in 1915 indicates shipments
from the mills of S6.524, 800 barrels. an
increase of one-tenth of ! per cen over
1914. There wa a slight decrease in
production and this, with the appre-
ciable decrease IN stock, indicates a
more conservative trend in the indus
try. which in the preceding few years
showed a tendency to overproduction.
Prices generally averaged a few cents
lower per barrel in 1915 than in 1914.
although toward the end of the year
prices were substantially increased.

sensitive person feels that. whatever
she does. wherever she goes, or what
ever she says. she is the center of Oh
~servation. and this is morbid self
consciousness. She inagines that peo-
pie are criticizing her movements,
making fun at her expense, or analyZ-

they are probably not thinking of her
at all. She does not realize that other
people are too busy and too much in

own affairs to devote to her any Of
their time beyond what is absolutely
necessary. When she thinks they are
making mark about her. putting
Sights upon her, or trying to hold her

even be conscious of her presence.

proportions. and their own judgment
and themselves as very much less than
life size" They see double when
they look at others, and as through a
reducing glass when they look at
themselves. They can not give any
reason for this. There isn't any rea-
