Knights of the Air.
(NeW York Times.)

The achievements of the Zeppelins in Paris Saturday add new glory to the history of these humane and eff fective military instruments. Twen- ty-four persons were killed and thirty wounded. The present population of Paris can only be guessed at, so many are the absences caused by the war, but putting 1t at the 1911 figures of 2,SS8, no it Is clear that if the war lasts long enough and the Zeppelins are as lucky as they were Saturday, and if they raid once a day, they might kill or wound the entire popu- lation in 150 years or so. There can be no doubt of the genuine German (echt Deutsch) efficiency of Zeppe- lins.
 The German airmen must be thor oughly familiar with the cartography of Paris. There was a fog Saturday and if this prevented the French aero

 The president said: Congress cam not know what to do unless the na- tion knows what to do.' The nation in the past two days has heard such solemn words from its elected chiefs bearing the greatest burden of re- sponsibility since Lincoln, as have not fallen from the lips of any president in a generation. The die is cast. Tha United States today is behind it's president and will prepare a more adequate nucleus about which to raise a defense should that necessity be forced upon us in the near or diss tant future.

 was taking 60,o00,000 pounds. The
 Russian production has since, accord
 ing to reports, been turned almost en-
 tirely into the army kitchens.
 The third greatest butter-dealer in
 the worlds market was far-away Aus
 tralia, the country with the greatest butter per capita consumption. Aus
 tralia sold 94,00O,OOO pounds of but ter yearly, most of which was disposed
 of in the London market. Holland dealt strongly in butter selling yearly
 some 5s,000,000 pounds, and more
 than half of this turnover into Ger many. Sweden and Finl md were other important butter sellers while France. thought it sold very little butter, true to is nature sold that little as a rich luxury to the discriminating palaces of London's West End. Canada, Aus tria- Hungary, Argentina, and the United States completed the list of exporting countries.
 "England led all purchasers of but ter, taking such enormous quantities
 as to consume two-thirds of all the
 product brought into international trade. During recent years, England has purchased regularly more than
 O,oo0,0oO pounds of butter per an- mum. Denmark, Siberia, Sweden, Aus
 tralia, New Zealand, France and North and South America have all contribut- ed the butter for England's bread Denmark today, is selling heavily of its buffers to England. The Siberian
 source has been stopped up by the

No president since Lincoln has Wilson at Pittsburgh and Cleveland. It Is difficult to understand how any loyal American could read those ad

Don't Like Brandeis.
Bridgeport Farmer.

All the kept newspapers are mad with rage over the appointment of Brandeis to the Supreme court bench. MT. Brandeis has committed the of- fense of being on the popular side of some very important litigation. He is progressive in his political econo- mic views. So are the American peo- pie progressive. So is the American government, and likewise, the Amer ican system.

It is estimated that there are some 6O,OOO motor vehicles playing an ac- tive part in European military opera tions. Averaging them at $1,oOO each, which is fair estimate, it will be seen that there is 8 $60,O0O,OOO invest ment. The cost of maintaining this huge fleet of cars on the road, keep Ing them in repair, runs into eight figures and this huge sum is a mere bagatelle in the heavy list of war expenditure. The motor vehicle has proved of invaluable worth to the bel igerents. It has materially added to the mobility of the troops and provid- ed the means of speedy communi- cation between the trenches and the bases. As a factor for Red Cross work they have been a blessing and many poor fellows life has been saved by rapid transportation in car driven without regard to the speed limit to the field hospital.-Buffalo News.

Everyone hates war, and the pres ent horrible condition in Europe, with a slaughter already of over 10000, 900 of the flower of Europe's young man hood, intensifies the horrors of war and it's terrible destructiveness.

It ought not to be necessary at critical time like this for a President of the United States to expend his energies and his days in pleading with the American people to take reason able steps to defend and preserve those Ideals of national independence and individual liberty and political freedom which have always been the sources of our enthusiasm and of our national feeling" As the President says, this question of preparedness is not a question of peace or of war. It IS question of the nations being able, ready and strong enough to assert itself, if necessary to fulfill those ob- ligations which are the life and spirit of the nation. To oppose such pol icy is to deny the republic itself.-- New York World.

minimized; without preparedness, while America would repel an in Vader in the end it would be at frightful cost.-Watertown Times. : There has been deep disgust at the murder of seventeen good American men under circumstances of high eX- asperation by Villas bandits Down on the, border, where the men were known, there is red-hot wrath. What do all our Wraths come to? We had one about Belgium, another about the Lusitania, others about the An coma and other ships, and now this one about this brutal murder of sev- enteen Americans. Are they all to die away and leave no mark,-Life.
 The President has done a useful thing in assuring the country that the present demand for preparedness does not come from those who are inter- ested in the manufacture of munitions of war. This senseless charge is one of the pet alterations of the pacifists ally, assuring the taxpayers, who will ness, that they are going to be mulcted as the result of panic artifcially produced by few self-interested cOnspirators. It is clear to any sen sible person that no considerable ele- ment in this country could be stam- peded by a campaign engineered by the munitions makers-New York Tribune.

The Autumn OF The Bible.

One wiser than us has said there Is
something in the fall OF the year which
is kin TO the blood OF all OF us. II Is
zest and a clean spirit that are world
old and eteraally new. Spring may be
the renewal OF life; autumn is Its re.
freshing.
Turn TO the Old Testament and read
there OF all tho manifestations OF au-
tumn and early winter-of the east
wind. the breath OF the Lord coming up
from the Wilderness the clouds and
the storm and the rain. The compari-
sons OF the Bible are all with simple
things, but none are more effective.
none more beautiful. than those which
link the humility OF man or the glory
OF God with tho powers of nature.
In the imagery OF autumn there is
something sombre. Calamity cometh on
an a whirlwind. we read. and II have
blotted out. AS n thick cloud. thy trans
gressions and as a cloud. thy sins" The
rain OF fall is not the early rain OF
spring which covereth the valley of
weeping with blessings, but the later
rain which watereth tho earth. The
dancing OF brown leaves in fantastic
procession and the whirling dust be-
fore the storm bring to nostrils. sick
with the city's odors. breath OF that
sharp. tingllnR air which makes life
glorious and love lovely thing.
