COUNTRY CALM AND
CONFIDENT

In lengthy article referring to the
probable conflict with Germany,
Henry Clews, one Of the. most clear
thinking and patriotic financiers OF
New York city, has the following to
say:
War is seemingly a foregone con
|clusion; war into which the United
States is driven entirely against its
viii by ruthless disregard Of its neil
trail rights, and by final recognition
that we, too, must join the Allies IN
the worldwide struggle for political
freedom. AS in all great social or
political upheayals, the issues are
highly complex. Each nation is ap-
parently fighting for some Individual
purpose, yet underneath these move
ments there is common object which
binds the Allies together, that OF de-
mocracy against autocracy, or gov
eminent of the people by the people
for the people, as opposed to govern
ment of the State by the State Tor
the State. To such a policy there can
be only one end if popular govern
ment is to survive, and that is COM
plete defeat and abolition of an au-
tocracy based upon militarism. The
greatest autocracy in the world mas
already fallen, and others must eth
or follow or bend to the will of the
neople if we are to have a lasting
peace. The country is now facing one
of the greatest crises in its history IN
a calm and confident spirit. President
Wilson is expected to deliver a force
full message before Congress, and
there is every reason to expect an
early declaration that state of wal
exists. Public opinion, though reluct'
ant about entering into the conflict
with Germany, is now overwhelmlngiy
behind the President; and the war
| if it is to be, will be energetically
prosecuted to successful conclusion
Those who anticipate anything to the
contrary, will be grossly mistaken
The present crisis will pro-
foundly change our foreign relations
and new era will open with the ge'
ginning of hostilities. Whether We
| like it or not, the time-honored policy
If isolation in foreign affairs will de-
| part forever, never to return; so here
after we will be an influential mem
Der of the family of nations, and must
courageously assume the duties ant
responsibilities that we have too ire
quently been inclined to shirk.

POSITION OF AUsTRIA-HUN
GARY.

Rumors that the Kaiser and the
Austrian Emperor are in conference
on the extent and extension of sub,
marine warfare against the United
States may be founded on fact, OF
they may be merely an outgrowth OF
conditions already we'll understood as
is suggested by the Richmond Times
Dispatch. 1t has been clear, since
the death of Francis Joseph, that
this is Germanys WARM the sight
Of the Emperor Charles. During the
life of the old Emperor-King, Ger
man influence at the Austrian court
was dominant and Hapsburg was su-
bordinated to Hohenzollern. Since
the accession of Charles, however,
significant changes have beeen made
While Germany's military authori-
ties still direct actual war operations,
the Austrian Emperor's encourage
has been radically altered, and Ber-
Inns influence notably weakened
Francis Joseph was old and tired
and he let things drift along. the
line of least resistance to German
tins. But Charles came to the dual
throne with other ideas. Young and
vigorous, he thinks of ia-Hun-
gary as possible entity apart from
Germany, and that must cause him
to wonder about the future of the
Hapsburg apart from the future of
the Hohenzollerns. On one from
tier. Russia is free from autocracy;
On the other, mutterings and open
discomfort proclaim the coming of a
time. not long distant, when Ger
many will be free, too. What then
of Austria-Hungary? What of HIM
self? If the German states throw
off the yoke of Prussianism and go
no further than to relegate the Ho-
henzollerns to their throne of Prus-
STA. what will follow in Austria and,
even more pertiaently, in Hungary
Nothing would more certainly speed
such an upheaval than the mad in
sistence Of Prussia and its Hohenzol-
lerns to pursue the war in the face
of certain defeat. And nothing
would more contribute to the certain
ty of ultimate defeat than thee en-
trance of the United States into
common cause with the allies.
If, on the other hand, Germany
should triumph in the end. what
would be the fate of Austria-H Hun
gary at the hands of Germany?
Would the dual monarchy be more
than a satrapy.. of the German en-
pire, with a Hapsburg as titular ruler
by the; grace, Ola. Hohenzollern? ! In
such cease, would not Austria Hun
gary need ( every possible friend
among thefnations?
After all, the rumors may be more
than runors.

Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medi- cine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N, Y. states, ''I first used Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer com plaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with like re- sults."

Ask Anyone Who Has Used It.

There are families who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamber lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Rem edy in the house for use in case it is needed, and find that it is not only a good investment but saves them no end of suffering. As to it's reliability, ask anyone who has used it.
