IT'S NOT so FUNNY

Cbina'S proposed defiance of Ger
That is because China is unarmed anc
helpless, but potentially the Chinese
people are the most powerful on
earth. They number more than $780,
100000, and on a 10 per cent basis
could furnish an army of 100000
men. On the French proportion of
army service China would put more
than 50,000,000 men into the field,
nearly twice the aggregate of the
combined field forces now fighting in
Europe.
China could stand casualty list of
7,500, 900 men a year, and still have
more young men arriving at maturity
each year than had been killed off.
In a three-year war she could lose
more than 22,OO0,OO0 men and still
not t9eplete her reserves.
Japan seems bent ON the dismem-
hertnent of China, for every now and
then she nibbles off another piece of
territory. IL is pOSSlDie tndt the Jdpd-
nese are not careful students of Ash
attic history, for that history shows
that China has had wars almost be-
yond counting. Her soil has been
ovey-fun and conquered many times
and unaccounted numbers of her peo-
pIe have been slaughtered, but in the
end China has always swallowed her
conguerors. They came as aliens,
hoisted their banners, wrenched away
portions of territory, and then in a
few generations were absorbed by thea
huge mass of China and themselves
became Chinese. Looked at in the
light OF history the dismemberment
of China seems as hopeless a task
as destroying the SawtoOth noun
tains by blasting off pinnacle here
and there Such blasting would be a
slow and costly process. and the blast
ers would be in infinite danger of be-

Making An Army.

Like the mighty giant that it is, the
United States is awakening from its
long slumber and rousing itself to
action, although in some respects it
may be said to be just rubbing its
eyes. The past 40 days have visual
lied more Of what is being accom-
plished than the previous five months.
Vast camps, each with a soldier pop
ulation of large cities, have sprung
into being like magic, and have been
populated almost between sunrise and
sunset. officers and men in uniform
are seen on every street, trains load
ed with troops are moving with pre-
cision and promptness; nearly a
million men are busy with intense
training. While a modern soldier
cannot be made in day, il may be
said in all modesty, because true,
that the transformation worked in
men with only three weeks training,
is remarkable. This is because the
young American puts his whole soul
into his work. In the officers train
Ing camps, men who 20 days ago sat
in comfortable Office chairs or lounged
in fashionable clubs, are making their
practice hike of 20 and even 80 miles
a day and returning at dusk to put in
two or three hours hard study be-
fore bed.
AS ! write, the stirring notes of a
large marine band are heard as hun
dreds of naval recruits in white uni
forms drill on their lake-front camp
grounds, across the street. An hour
ago, full thousand of militia-not
long back from the Mexican border
passed in heavy marching order, go
ing-somewhere; but that somewhere
will find every man ready, resource
full, and intrepid. Such is the mater
ial out of which the American army
is being formed. An army which
can be depended on to give good
account of itself-an army Of which
we are all proud.-H. H. Windsor,
in the November Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

German Autocracy in War.

Inrespectto Germany's information
al conduct, the facts of history will
speak for themselves. Having adopt
ed the view that might makes right
and that Germany was entitled to
anything in the world that she could
grasp and hold, the German autocra-
cy proceeded to make ready for Ger
many's future Of expansion and DOM
nation. We have repeatedly ex-
pressed the opinion that the imperial
policies Of Germany's rivals have in
many instances been pursued by in
defensible methods. But British i'm
perialism, whatever its mistakes or
misdeeds, is always subject to the re-
deeming and Christening power of the
British democracy. If the British
iingoes took the Boer republics, let
it be remembered that the British lib
erals, by way Of restitution, gave
back those republics to the Beers and
gave them the whole of South Africa
to boot. The policies for German
imperial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT as worked
out by the Kaiser and the military,
naval and commercial magnates who
form the ruling autocratic clique,
having been very different from those
that characterize the British Empire
during a corresponding period of
time. Great Britain has not, in fact,
been menace to liberty, whether
within British realms or in other coun-
tries. No small state in Europe has
had any reason to be afraid Of Great
Britain or of France.
Not only, moreover, have the aims
of the German autocracy been a men,
ace to the world, but Germany's
methods in her conduct of this war,
and in her relations to other peoples,
fully deserved President Wilson's
unsparing denunciation. lie was not,
in this answer to the Pope, dwelling
upon matters of detail. Otherwise he
might have laid the Armenian massa-
ores at Germany's door. 1t was Ger
many's assault upon Belgium that
overcame the reluctance Of the Brit
ish liberals to enter the war. 1t was
the resumptionof submarine atroci-
ties on a great scale that turned the
tide of sentiment in this country and
forced a declaration of war from a
pacifist Administration and a pacifist
Democratic Congress. The intrigues
and unworthy deeds of German d.
plomacy in neutral countries have
continued to form a part of this gen.
eral program of heinous misconduct
that has made Germany's war meth
DDS increasingly abhorrent to the pub
lie opinion of all mankind. From

CROP
AT HIGH PRICES
viii Make Tobacco Bring
About $4,000, 1000 To
Hopkinsville.

II is estimated that not less than 40,-
900, 900 pounds Of tobacco will be sold
on the Hopkinsville market this season
and prices are expected TO be far
above the seasons average Of $40. as
on 81, 900, 900 pounds sold last season.
The growers Of the "Black Patch"
Of Kentucky and Tennessee, the terri
tory which produces the major portion
Of the tobacco exported from this
country, are confidently looking for
ward to record breaking prices when
the crop is marketed this fall and win
ter. A bumper crop was grown this
year and now has been safely housed
and cured and its quality is fine.
While this years crop was still in
the field and there was nothing upon
which to base prices, adventurous
buyers were offering as high as sl2. so
per hundred for the crop as whole,
to be delivered after curing. II is
claimed as high as SIS per hundred
has been offered.
There is report that as high as $2l
has been offered for tobacco at Spring
field, Tenn, where an especially fine
type is grown.
Last year about 40 per cent. of the
tobacco sold here was sold on loose
floors and was worked up in the local
factories.
