 In Friedrich Naumann's Berlin weekly Die Hilfe is raised this curi- ous question: "Where is the war lead ing us? To militarism or to liberal ism? To Potsdam or to Manchester? :? To the summit of human development, or to where an abyss yawns?" Man chester of course stands for the abyss and Potsdam for the summit of human development, yet the summit is not high enough. The writer is proud of the German army, but he hints that militarism needs to be reformed. Those who do not close their eyes, he says, must see that 1t is the factor which we have to reckon with whether we will or no. Tt is today the school for millions and will be so tomorrow
 But is it good school? Die Hilfe, which is by no means antimilitaristic, goes surprisingly far in the way of criticism. We will not condone it's weakness. We are not yet satisfied. Too much dross hides the gold, It Is not yet in accordance with the spirit of the age, It shall now be our task to raise miiitarism to a higher level" This appeal to "the spirit of the age" may seem curious to those who have regarded the spirit of the age as turn ing away from militarisn, but the spirit, as Faust discovered has many guises and may not be what 1t Is faneied, Is 1t pointing the way to a supermilitarisn

TRAIN .P[0WS
INTO CAb00SE
AND TEN DIE
OTHERS SERIOUSLY
HURT IN FREIGHT COLLISION
IN NEBRASKA.
O MEN VICTIMS

Elwood, Neb., Oct. 15.-Ten men
were killed and elevent others injured
seriously when a train on the Bur-
lington railroad crashed into a freight
caboose in which they were riding,
twelve miles east of here this morn
ing.
Five other men standing on the rear
platform of the caboose saw the ap-
preaching train soon enough to jump
to safety. One other man in the ca
boose cupola was thrown clear of the
wreck and escaped injury.
Warning Signals Not Out.
The trains in collision were sections
of a regular stock train. Lack of
lights and warning signals is given as
the cause of the accident by survivors.
All the victims were residents of Ne.
braska towns. Most of them were
farmers or stockmen.
The dead: W. H. Merrill of Wal
lace, Adam Miller, of Rain, William
LKlinock, Of Holstein, G. S. Kronley of
haywood, ]. J. O'Connor of Elsie,
William canton, Of Venango, ]. C.
O'Bryon of Wallace, W. G. Hammiis
of Somerset, William Sullivan of Wal
lace, William Heart, of Elsie.
Stops Between Stations.
The trains in collision were the Sec
ond and third sections of No. 156.
The second section had trouble with
hot boxes and had stopped at a point
about half way between Smithfield
and Bertrand.
The crew Of the second section was
at work on the hot boxes when the
third section crashed into the second
section caboose. No one was aware
Of the danger until the third section
was within a few yards of the rea,
end Of the second.
The twenty-one men in the caboost
were jammed into a space Of less thar
four feet in width and this was illet
with wreckage.

also in the same law set up a rival
system, which assures the failure Of
the cooperative system. It would
have been almost impossible to estab~
lish the cooperative system anyhow,
along the line proposed, but to place
this extra obstacle in the form of a
joint stock bank-a profit making
concern, to be owned by its investors
and not by the farmers-is simply
numbering their own child. The COM
plicated PANTHER child) would prob
ably have died anyhow, choked as it
is, but on e would expect its parents
to have done all they could to have
saved it from death, instead Of taking
such a club and beating out its brains
as the Joint Stock Proft-Taking Bank
is bound to do with the struggling CO.
operatives.

tween Republicans and Democrats is

MOTHER! Give CHILD
"SYRuP OF F|CS"IF
TONGUE IS COATED
If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, clean
little liver and bowels

Children love this "fruit laxative
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop play
ing to empty its bowels, and the result
is, they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full Of cold, has r throat,
stomach ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful Of California Syr-
up Of Figs" and in a few hours all the
c~onstipated waste, sour bile and undi-
gested food passes out Of the system,
and you have a well, playful child
again.
Millions Of mothers give "Califor-
MIA Syrup Of Figs" because it is per-
fectly harmless; children love it, and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle Of California Syrup Of Figs,
which has full directions for babies,
children Of all ages and grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Beware
Of c~ounterfeits sold here. Get the
genuine, made by california Fig
Syrup Company. Refuse any other
kind with contempt.

the Squire probably $25 for examin-
tic, title and fixing up the abstract.
You tell me that there wa some lit
tie cloud on Toms abstract. The wife
Of q previous owner signed her name
to q deed to the farm different from
the name she had previously signed
to the mortgage on the land, but the
notary had certified to her signature
and the Squire said that while it was
possibly q slight cloud, he kenw the
woman and knew it was the same per
son In both cases-the same wife Of
the owner so he was able to satisfy
the title examiner of the Insurance
Company that it was safe to go ahead
with the loan, and he promised TO take
the case into court afterwards and
quiet the title, for the cloud is only
q technical one. The examiner USED
his discretion, as he has known Oh
Squire Brown for years. and know
that he is~a reliable lawyer. So thu
loan was not held up, as was the cas-.
on Sam Sticks title, who tried to ge'
his loan through the Federal LAM
Bank.
Still, that extra 2 per cent commits
sion which Tom had to pay to Squir
Brown amounts to considerable; tina
would all be saved if you could d
business through the Cooperate Rur
al System, and it is too bad that tn
system is 50 limited as to make it i'm
practicable.
You say Tom borrowed $1,000; the
in. five years the commission amount
to $500, and that is quite an item ia
"a hard working farmer like Tom. ]

/ was not surprised at what you
wrote me u Tom Edgeiy's success in
borrowing money from the Life In

Brown. I was not surprised either
that Tom got q higher appraisal on

appraisa1s; they too, ! on salary;
and have no interest in making prof
table lonas. They get their appoint
ments through the Farm Loan Board
at Washington, and their chief con-
Germ is to be conservative and get all
the security they-can pick on all loans.
On the other hand, Squire Brown is
interested in putting over as big q
loan for Tom as possible, for he gets
a commission, 80 he serves Tom on his
own appraisal Of the farm, knowing
that the loan is safe, because he knows
local values and knows Toms farm.

farmer and making a prift, SO that

Asa matter Of fact, there is moi
much risk in that, for even If Tor
does add $1,00Oxt to the cash value d
the farm, the loan is only half Of 4the
appraised value, and we all know that
the price Of land is going up eacl

so eager to make political capital that
they forgot to study real farm con-
ditions.
Just as an illustration of the politi-
cal poppycock Of this Democratic
measure, look how its expensive Fed
eral Loan Board Board started it's
work. Without even waiting to es-
tablish headquarters, the first thing
the Board did with salaries of over
$1,000 a weekly was to junket up to
Maine. What for? They had no pow
er to change the law and no intention
to establish one Of the twelve land
banks in Maine. All they could do
was to go up there and make a noise
like a Hearings" before farmers, for
it's effect on the political campaign.
