DAY OF REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place Of the
Antiquated Methods Of Making
Changes in Government.

The machine gun and the high e1-
plosive shell have ended the days Of
successful revolutions. according to
Stanley ]. Weyman, the English au-
thor of "The House Of the Wolf" "A
Gentleman of France" and "Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-
mans view no rebellion by the peO-
pie can ever hope to be successful in
the larger nations now.
against the muskets and cannon of
old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail II fury lent
strength and numbers were sufficient.
But today, when half dozen machine
guns, handled by twice as many ex-
perts; can NOW down hundreds in q
minute; when even q single high-ex-
plosive shell can wreck half q village,
when everything that has to d. with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them. and the airplanes that
guide them, is technical to a degree,
of what avail are the scattered rifles
and barricades of the people. the regi-
ments hastily levied and scantily
armed? OF none. Before the muzzles
of few machine guns the toilers of
Client and Liege and Antwerp, cities
famed in the past for their turbulence.
are hurried into slavery well-nigh un-
resisting.
"For they know resistance to be
hopeless. And SO 1t is, and must be.
AS long as a mere handful Of men
trained in the use of these engines
remains faithful, despotism may sit
secure, be the people never so impa-
tient. Only from outside, only by the
use of equal weapons, only by other
nations. can the yoke be broken and
the people be freed"

sk:sCRAPER's SET OF NERVES
Six Feet Of Telephone Wire TO
london's One.

The nerves OF the SkyScraper are IN"
telephone wires, Of course. And inns.
ruch as progress in evolution Is meas
ured by complex nervous development.
it is natural that New YOrk's down
town, where business, the highest form
OF social biology, bas attained Its full
eat development, should be an enor-
nous spiders web Of telephone wires.
The per capita consumption of tele-
phone wire in New York Is six times
as much as in London. Simeon Strun-
sky writes in Harper's. That rep
resents the relative nervous In
tensity of business in New York and
in London.
Some such excess Of wiring sus-
pect in the skyscrnperS of downtown.
There are hundreds and thousands OF
rooms, and in every room one or more
men with their mouths and ears to
the telephone. 1t is all cellular parti-
tions and wire ganglions reaching out
to Chicago, perhaps, or San Francisco;
wires to the stock exchange around
the corner, wires to the assistant In
the adjoining room. wires to the heart
of the dictnphcne into which business
Is being .ctated and from which busi-
ness will travel to the ears Of the
stenographer who will transfer 1t to
paper. Our ghostly tourist will con-
clude that modern business Is mat
ter of conversation.
Downtown. inside o( its tens Of
thousands of skyscraper cells, Is thus
terribly busy-about what? So far us
- To-
ticular. "A man with telephone ut
his elbow. flat-topped desk with
metal basket holding dozen letters,
perhaps, photograph Of the mans
wife in a silver frame at one end Of
the desk, and that is all. But IL the
cell is q large one. sometimes reaching
the dimensions of an entire floor in a
skyscraper. block, the desks, tele-
phones, metal baskets and monographs
are indefinitely multiplied. The sub
stantialities of business are not there
the steel, wheat, cotton, bullion. the
beams, casks. boxes and bales which
you recall being hauled toward quaint
little wharves on toy trucks driven by
men In Jumpers and shovel hats In the
pictures In your school geography la
beled commerce. BY externals there
is no way of telling whether the man
at the desk is engaged in selling stocks
and bonds. or woolen remnants, or
railway accessories or trusts and
mergers, or theat0r tickets. There Is
lacking the concrete symbolism of the
old counting room-the heavy ledgers,
whose bulk suggested the raw mate
rails of traffic. the clerks on their high
stools, the hustle of orders given and
taken. The heavy ledgers have been
replaced by filing cabinets, whose pur-
pose seems as much decorative as use
full. Your business Office might as
well be the catalogue room of col
lege library.

French LOOK HERE
FOR POSTWAR TRADE

Paris. Aug. l0.---tBy maiD--
France Is preparing in a concrete
way to switch her pre-war German
trade to America.
Under the authorization OF the
French government. the largest pub
licity and advertising corporation in
Europe will try to interest American
manufacturers in the great after-the-
war market OF France. One OF the
heads OF this organization told the
United Press that American pro-
ducers will be asked to investigate
French markets OF every descrip-
ton.
France Is now looking forward"
he declared. "Frenchmen realize
that the country must have big
market Immediately after the war
where they can begin to stock mp
their more or less depleted stores.
There will be no tendency to trade
again with Germany The French
market. then to a large decree, will
be the United States. American
man nufacturers, hitherto, have shown
no great tendency to drum up trade
In France. They took what came
their way and let It go at that. Now
we are going to try and interest
them.
Frances forty million people,
statistics show. have purchasing &
power OF sixty millions. That ar
gument surely ought to appeal to
the Americans.
A bureau to be established In New
York will systematically distribute
information and will not only give
full reports on economic conditions
in France, but organize the distrl-
button OF American goods.
