is hardly sufficient to last 30 days,
and within that time she can so COM
pletely blockade her ports with SUBJ
marines as to bring her to sue for
peace.
Speculation has been rife just as to
what effect this policy on Germany's
part will have on the relation be-
tween the United States and Ger
many. So far we have consistently
maintained our neutrality and kept
out of the trouble. although on a
number of occasions our relations
have been somewhat strained by the
actions of the belligerents. Hereto
fore Germany has always expressed
a desire on her part to abide by the
rules of international warfare and to
respect the rights of neutrals; but
now since the situation seems to have
become 80 desperate and she must
resort to such extreme measures, the
chances of our becoming involved
over commercial relations have in
creased greatly. Immediately upon
learning of ermany'sintention, steps
we're taken by this country to reduce
the chances of becoming embroiled
to a minimum. For example, no
ships were allowed to clear out of
New York, and even the naval YES
sells there were placed under the or
ders of the Collector of Customs of
that port.

up their lives in the performance OF their
duty, Sunday morning.
These are the men who dedicate them.
selves TO the task of preserving life and
property, not destroying it.
With small pay, no adulation, separat-
ed in great measure from their families,
obliged TO drag thru long hours of monot-
ony and mental tasks, they offer them
selves up to possible death on the altar
of conservation and life, not death. in
the interest of the public.
We do not want to belittle the soldier.
His breast is usually animated with
the belief that he Is fighting for a prin-
ciple and justice, therefore he is entitled
10 all respect.
But, unless in self-defense, how car
the cause Of war and the death-dealing
work Of the soldier compare in value
and real worth with that of the fireman
who risks life and limb in service for
humanity?
The soldier has always existed.
He is the leftover product of those
days when no creature was safe who
could not put up fight for existence.
Today it is the belief quite generally
shared, that this righteous excuse for
bIoodshed no longer exists.
The fireman is a product of civiliza-
ton.
Not until we possessed property and
realized the value of life, to a certain ex-
tent, was he and his profession evolved.
That he is essentially a fighter; that
he is necessarily brave man, is patent
In his work he can never hope TO be-
come rich: he has never received aught
but a small part of the pecuniary remu
neration which should accompany so
hazardous calling; he gets none of the
plaudits of the crowd which invariably
accompany the soldier, not the fife and
drum and mob enthusiasm which help TO
carry him along.
The fireman must stand alone.
He must spend tiresome, tedious days
and then terrible, hazardous hours and
finally. in many cases, give up his life as
these five brave men have done, in the
pursuance of his work.
There can be but one verdict for these
men.
The city is the loser and sees their
passing with sorrow and appreciation.

What They May Get They
Have Reason to Expect

A leading produce dealer of San Fran
cisco declares that 100 600 sacks of po-
tatoes are being held there in storage
for rise, and an exchange inquiries:
What do the spectators expect 7"
The spectators expect 10 gouge the
consumers, but what. they'll get may be
something else.
For instance:
Mr.. Burns, president of the mayors
conference of New York state. openly
announced that he would solve the food
problem by seizing any supplies held in
cold storage for speculative purposes and
put them on the market at reasonable
prices.
There would be no law for such seizure
and sale by Mr. Burns.
Our supreme court would probably de-
clare such action confscatory and uncon-
stitutional.
But it will be what the spectators
will get, unless prices come down
The folks will stand much in the way

The Absurdity Of 1t
~ On. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

Meanwhile don't forget the utter abb
urdity Of the whole business.
Don't forget the childishness, the lack
of intelligent craftsmanship. upon which
it is all based.
That two nations which have q DIFF
ference of opinion can find no other way
of adjusting matters than to destroy In
finite lives and property in mad rowdy-
ism is pitiable.
War, in its essence, keep in mind. Ia
not grand, not inspiring and heroic; 1t In
stupid. brutal Its existence Is an In
dictment of the intelligence Of mankind.
If We enter into conflict with Germany
because our citizens are practically
slaughtered on the high seas II win b
an action we dread, and we go to II In
the same spirit in which we would at
tack a burglar, resist an assassin, or
exterminate bandit.
All the talk of war being good for
a country" and necessary to keep up
the spirit of patriotism" Is medieval;
war may be a necessity, but 1t Is dirty
necessity, an abhorrent necessity, enter
ed into by any sensible people with re-
luctance; 1t is a necessity as killing rats
or cleaning the stable is necessity.
Greater than our desire to be "pre-
pared" for war should be our desire to
prepare for rendering future wars Inn
possible.
We can eliminate the possibility Of
var. The intelligence Of the civilized
nations can easily devise some League
20 Enforce Peace, or other international
agency. that shall abolish the huge na-
ional armies and navies, turn the vast
nunition factories to constructive use,
and by a comparatively small interna-
tional police force hold the fretful earth
in awe"
This can be done II we want 10 DO
il. But we must have a general. univer-
sal loathing of war, contempt for tn
wasteful ineonclusions, and a realization
that by cooperation we can always set
tie controversies some other way"
Because we have always had war Ia
no reason why we must continue to have
it forever. Because you and your faith
ers have always ploughed with a sharp
ened stick is no reason why you should
not try a steel plough.
We have willingly adopted such nov
elites as the telegraph. the typewriter,
and the steam engine; why can we not
