Open some one or other Of the so- called popular magazines and you will see notice by some shrewd mountebanke who guarantees to re- move fear from your mind. In do- ing so he promises to make you q Napoleon of Finance or Rocke- feller of Commerce or a Kipling in literature. He says that your fear is keeping you back and it is destroy ing your chances for success. He has evolved a system which removes fear. Plucks it from the human heart and leaves you fearless, strong in soul and body. It sounds very beautiful and plausible and judging by the fact that this fear artist has increased of late the extent of his advertising, it must be as successful as Father Johns whiskey or Postum Gripe knots.
 Some person learned in the study of emotions recently rises to remark that fear has been the main stimulus of our civilization for many a cen tury. Moreover he declares that fear is the main cause of war, of militar- ism, of preparedness He says 1t ls unuuestionable that this wave of preparedness that swept over the na- tion is not due to valor or to cour- age. moral or physical, but is scarf

INFLATED FIGUEES.

American export trade is enorm- ous. But the figures are deceiving in this respect they record war time prices and give no proper conception of the increase or decrease in actual shipments. Wheat is estimated this wear at two dollars a bushel and only a few years ago it was estimat- ed at one dollar and quarter. It is evident that much less wheat might be exported in order to show an in- crease calculated in dollars and the same thing is to be said about all other commodities with hardly an exception.
 These figures do not represent the real "values'' of the commodities any more than they convey any pro- per idea of the quantities which are being shipped aboard.
 The values which are being ship ped abroad are not the prices any more than do the prices represent any normal bulk or quantity.
 What is the value of those commo- dities figured out so easily in dollars and cents has no relation to their cost of production whatever, and il is the production costs the amount of social labor power necessary to reproduce them which will measure their value. You measure price in dollars and cents and value in the number of hours labor power ex- hausted in reproducing the articles.
 It is certainly a case of things not being what they seem, especially in the days of artificial prices and controlled sales.
 It used to be held by the econo- mists that price was regulated by a natural condition Of supply and de mand. They called that the law oi supply and demand. But since those simple days, artificial combinations trusts. consultations and other con trol monopolies take supply in hand and always see that the demand iS controlled also. They withhold theil commodities from the market until the demand over-reaches all price H. mutations and then they let go some i'll satisfaction
 If is like one man controlling al the spuds in a camp. He just sells enough to keep the people wanting more and wanting more to pay more The essential for such condition is combined private ownership or mo nopolv of control and we have thai right now.
 Prices may slump later on. But just now with several maniacal na tions at war outbidding one another for American products, the Amer jeans themselves have to join in the mad game to the enormous profit oi the private owners.
 There is no phase of capitalism SC magnificent as this one of price con trol which accounts for the enorm- ous exports that now figure in what are now as "favorable balances ol trade"

; ness and fear and that it's promoters have very cleverly and very shrewdly calculated on first soaring the po- pular mind with visions and an ina ginary foe, a fancy invasion with warnings uttered in the shadows and whispers percolating through shuddering awe.
 All of which he very capably and very ably demonstrates as a fact, even if many had not guessed as much long ere this.
 Human beings in these modern i days have made a God of Fear. Somehow it was the sole human emotion that never had a divine standing of much account among the classic pagans. They never were at a loss concerning it's import ance, but they did not worship it. l We do. We have taken the oriental notions of it's divinity and compelled it to serve to keep the many in awe. ] tuous for fear of hell or lest we might lose heaven. We become ri- gidly law abiders lest we suffer as criminals. We are compelled to tole- rate the lash O. stony authority lestwe fare worse. We endure low wages ! for fear of starvation and we place ,l ,11.a f1r istence will be no longer ours. Fear makes us mount guard over our wealth with armed men and deadly guns that may strike a greater fear in the hearts of those who own no- thing. Sleep is denied the wealth accumulator lest some fearful turn of fortune steal his treasures. We worship our God in jails and work houses, with fines and forfeitures and whippings. We scare the little child with stories of baleful ghosts that are the very angels of Fear and in this way reduce free and un. fettered thought to the slayisn thralls of discipline.
 Conscience doth make towards ot us all, said the Bard, but long be- fore a consciousness was born with in us, Fear had marked us for it's own. We organize against fearless criticism, against free speech and free assembly. We poison the springs of liberty with fears of oppression and we silence the deathless voice within the charnel houses of fear some conventions.
 It makes us chaste, good, holy virtuous, noble. It is our Virtue of Virtues under capitalism. And, not the least remarkable of it's vicious perversion of the mind is that after it has stirred men to grasp to hand instru- ments of death and fly blindly at their brothers throats we have the audacious ignorance to consider that daring and that valor and courage.
 Were fear to die in mems hearts today, the fabric of such a civiliza- ton such hypocritical religion as men affect to follow would not last day. No man would accept condi- tions of injustice were it not that terror was lying ever within his heart ready to strike at every noble impulse. No man would allow him self to be victimied in industry and tied in tongue were not the native hue of resolution sicklied over with the pale cast of thought, thoughts of fear. It is the heritage of centu- ries of exploitation and is not going to he removed from our natures by the advertised schemes of some American quack. We will have to be born again--born free of the heritages of this system and then face the world as men-fearless men who will dare do all that may be. come men.

Pershing Will Com
n1and Expedition.
MEN WILL START SOON
President Opposes Raising VOL
unteer Divisions.

Washington. - President Woodrow
Wilson has ordered that a division of
regular troops, commanded by Major
General John J. Pershing, be sent to
France at the earliest practical date.
This is the answer of America to
frances plea that the Stars and
Stripes be carried to the fighting
front without delay to hearten the
soldiers battling there with concrete
evidence that powerful ally has
come to their support against German
aggression.
Following is the text of the terse
announcement of the war department
as to General Pershing's expedition:
"The president has directed en- ex-
peditionary force of approximately
one division Of regular troops under
command of General John J. Pershing
to proceed to France at as early a date
as possible.
General Pershing and staff will
precede the troops abroad.
1T is requested that no details or
speculations with regard to the mobil-
ization of this command, dates of de-
parture or other facts be carried by
the press, other than the official bull
letins given out by the war depart
ment relating thereto"
Roosevelt Plan Is Opposed.
At the same time it was announced
that Colonel Roosevelt will not be per-
mitted to raise his volunteer expedi-
ton to carry the American flag against
the Germans in France.
On signing the war army bill Presi-
dent Wilson issued a statement say
ing that, acting under expert advice
from both sides of the water, he would
be unable to avail himself at the pres
ent stage of the war of the authoriza-
ton to organize volunteer divisions.
There was talk in army circles of
the possibility that a way would be
found to use the former presidents
services in another way, but official
comment on the subject was lacking
The man who led the expedition
into Mexico and handled the difficult
task with such judgment and skill as
to win the complete confidence of the
president and his advisers has worked
hard on plans for the expedition to
France. He has been in daily confer
ence with Secretary Baker, Major
General Bliss, acting chief of staff,
with department officials cooperating
in the preparation of the forces he
will lead against the Germans and
also with Lieutenant General Bridges
head of the military section of the
British mission and a veteran of the
battlefelds of France.

AMERICAN WARSH|PS
IN BRITISH WATERS

Queenstown, Ireland.-An American
destroyer has engaged in a fight with
a U-boat in British waters, it was an
nounced by the British admiralty. The
result of the encounter was not made
public by the censor
The destroyer squadron arrived in
Queenstown after an uneventful voy-
age across the Atlantic, but almost i'm
mediately after a formal exchange of
greetings with the British naval Off
Gals put to sea again for the hard
work that is before it.
A crowd of several hundred per
sons, some of them carrying tiny
American flags, lined the waterfront
and cheered the destroyers from the
moment they first sighted the flotilla
until it reached the dock.
One of the American destroyers
began war duty even before reaching
this side of the Atlantic. 1t picked
up and escorted through the danger
zone one of the largest of the Allan
tic liners.

BRITISH LAUNCH
ANOTHER DRIVE

London. - With Bullecourt village
firmly in their possession the British
troops are giving the Germans no
chance to rest and have started anoth-
er offensive with the idea of bringing
their forces to the north of Bullecourt
in alignment with those within the viii
lage.
Field Marshal Haig's men struck the
German line hard in this region and
carrying German positions over front
of more than mile between Fontaine-
Lez.Croiselles and Bullecourt and hold
them notwithstanding the furious
counter attacks. The fighting here
again was of a sanguinary character.
Although London makes no mention
of the fact the Berlin war Office re-
ports an offensive by the British along
a flfteen-mile front extending from
Acheville to Queant, which means
that again the entire front of the Dro-
court-Queant switch line is being ham,
:nered.
The Germans continue Intellectually
their efforts to crack the French line
along the Shemin-Des-Dames. After
a shell fire of great intensity by all
caliber guns, not excepting asphyxiat-
ing gas projectiles, the Germans en-
deavored to come out of their trenches
and attack in force.
