ITO He'll VIII Amerina. y

The Outlook: The most significant
speech at recent peace meeting in
New York city was also the shortest.
1t was a single sentence shouted out
from the center of the hall by an UNI
known orator:
ITO hell with America"
This is fighting slogan ror the Ger
man armies abroad and their allies in
this country. 1t has been their war
cry for two years and a half but never
before so tersely expressed.
America has long believed that
arbitration is better than war as a
method of settling international dis
putes When, In July, 1914, England,
France, Italy and Russia urged Aus
tria and Germany to settle their dis
putes with Serbia by arbitration, the
answer Of Germany was. To hell with
arbitration.
America believes that treaties are
sacred agreements and should be
sacredly observed. Germany had by
solemn treaty guaranteed the neutraIs-
ty Of Belgium. When her armies in
yaded Belgium in violation Of that
treaty her answer 10 the unuftered
protest Of the civilized world was, To
hell with treaties.

whether a finer site could a a where
be found. 1t can be seen from al sides
equally well, close at hand from the
cemetery road, and from a quarter of
a mile away across the lake. Indeed,
1t is this body of water which forms
the chief beauty of the site. There is
a drop of approximately 10 feet from
the level of the road to the level of
the lake, there being a natural terrace
on the axis of the plot which lends
itself admirably to the architectural
development Of the memorial. The
lake is unusually still, and has
mirror-like quality which reflects ad-
mirably the white granite of which
the memorial is made.
."As to the memorial I think il can
be said without contradiction that,
leaving aside entirely any artistic ex-
cellence, such perfection and delicacy
have never been attained before in
this unyielding and enduring material.
There is certainly nothing in modern
times that can approach it nor, as
far as / know, in any Of the monu-
ments of antiquity"

Missouri state capitol and the new

Gently won the competition for the
new George Washington memorial.
All that now remains to be done to
complete the memorial to Mrs. Eddy
is the planting of the landscape,
which is to consist chiefly of some
evergreen plants that will preserve
their form and leaves throughout the
year. and some cedars and rhododen-
drons. --.

The memorial to Mary Baker Eddy,
the discoverer and founder of Chris
tan Science. erected in Mt. Auburn
cemetery at Cambridge, Mass, was
turned over to the Christian Science
board of directors by Ebert S. Bar
low of New York, who had charge of
it's construction. Over a year and a
half has been required to complete it.
Christian Scientists throughout the
world have contributed, as expressions
of sentiment, the entire cost of over
$50, 900.
The memorial is of Bethel white
granite and consists of an open circu-
lar colonnade Of eight columns fifteen
feet in height surmounted by a cornice
and cresting. The space inside the
colonnade is to be filled with growing
flowers. The columns rest on a etylo-
bate of three steps, which also rest, at
one side, on q broad platform of
Pompton pink granite and, at the
other. which is about five feet lower,
on a double flight Of circular steps.
These are f1anked on each side by
large pylon. The pylons were exhib-
tied a short time ago at the American
Institute of Architecture in New York,
and were pronounced by several
experts to be the finest pieces of
carved granite ever executed. The
detail is elaborated 20 an extent never
before attempted in granite; some of
the stems and leaves are practically
free-standing, so great is the relief
interviewed regarding the memorial,
the architect Edgerton Swartwout
of New York, said: THE site is

and brothers that fought for this
country in the Spanish war.
Now we are coming to this genera

not our duty now the same as it was
our forefathers' duty in their time
when the country was calling? What
are we going to do? Think it over.

The sugar kings are robbing the
people with twelve-cent sugar. Those
who know say there is no excuse for
such a price. The years crop is 49,
, 900 tons larger than last years and
one tenth more raw sugar was brought
into the country. The excuse given is
that the revolution in Cuba and the
strike of sugar, refinery workers in
the east have made sugar costly. Dis
patches from Cuba show that the rev.
olution is merely political and the
planters have had no trouble. The re-
finery men merely asked for a mod
crate share in the big profits. The
federal trade commission made the
paper trust come to a reasonable
selling figure and it will be asked to
stop the sugar abuse. Great Britain
saw sugar double and treble in price
when the war began, but she did not
waste time in investigation. She took,
over the entire supply. but left the
buying price to be settled by the in
vestigation. and cut the selling price
in half and made all dealers buy of the
government and sell without extor-
ton. France did the same.
