When a state recognizes that the
existing treaties no longer express
the actual political conditions, and
when it cannot persuade the other
powers to give way by peaceful ne
gotiations, the movement has come
when the nations proceed to the or
deal by battls y state thus stu
ated is conscious when it declares
war that It is performing an in
evitable duty. The cOmbatant
countries are moved by no incen-
tives of personal greed, but they
feel that the real position OF power
is not expressed by existing treaties
and that they must be determined
afresh by the judgment of the ma
tons, since no peaceful agreement
can be reached. The righteousness
of war depends simply and solely
upon the consciousness of a moral
necessity. War is justified because
the great national personalities can
suffer no compelling force superior
TO themselves, and because history
must always be in constant fiux:
war. therefore, must be taken as

FASHION FILLS

MADISON, Wis, March 14.-Be- cause many students are sent to the the University of Wisconsin for To ether reason than that it is the fash ion to go to college, Dean Scott H. Goodnight said today, numbers of students are dismissed at the end of the semester.
 Men and women are too often sent to the University by families of no cultural tradition because nova" days everybody who can afford it goes to college" says the dean.
 "It has been well said that fifty years ago we went to college, but to- day we are sent to college. There are many students in the university who have read little before entering col lege and do not know the facts which come from general reading. They come from families who have never read and who have not cultivated tastes in cultural lines"

Afrlca's Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast is British colony on the west coast of Africa. Its eli mate is nOtoriOusly unhealthy, the heat and moisture being excessive. The coast Is lined with unhealthy swamps and shallow lakes, while the peculiar rock of the country Is said to give off, under the influence of the air and moisture. large quantities of hydrogen gas. The native towns are crowded and dirty, intermittent levers and oth- CT diseases being always present. These are peculiarly fatal to Euro peans. though the natives do not suf- fer so much. The whole region is more or less a gold producing country. but at present the value of the territory Is chiefly due to the profusion of vegeta- bls products supplied by the rich soil.

FIFTH AVENUE THE JOYOUS.
Sparkle and Vivaeity of New York's
 Famous Thorouahfars.

Perhaps the chief impression which the metropolis makes is of the vivacity of its life. It is the cOmpletest express sion of our national joie de vivre. And 1t is pleasant to record that for the most characteristic moment of this quality you would not cite Broadway at night. but Fifth avenue by day. The sparkle of this famous street is per haps largely due to the New York eli mate.
 Climates are never perfect. but among the worlds great cities the American metropolis is singularly for tunate. It is flooded with sunlight. and on its best days the air has crisp and tonic quality. By tacit understanding III dressed and sad people keep off Fifth avenue. On a bright morning .herc is no resisting the streets gay "tc:ication. The most expensive shops
 ,':c world are close at hand. the best
 .,."urants near by. Brave men lounge
 ,hc windows of exclusive clubs. and ar women cut coupons at fashionable 'anks. Life seems indeed worth liv- ing The whole town Is gay. Even children and nursemaids in the park seem more engagingly clean and inno- cent and spirited than elsewhere. as If they, too. felt the call of happiness.
 It is worth while noting the clear ness of much of New York's air. doing justice to the clean and simple liveli- ness of much of its enjoyment. be- cause its prominence as one of the worlds chief centers of dissipation and pleasure seeking has done its reputa- ton bad service with many people of virtue and good taste.-Harper!s Mag aZine.

COUNTING HEADS.
The First Census Was Taken by Mosss
 In the Wilderness.

There Is a record of a census in China as far back as the year 2042 B. C. an' of one fin Japan in the lnSt century be- fore Christ. Under the constitution of Solon the citizens of Athens were di- yided and registered in four classes. according to the amount of their tax able property or income. The Roman census was burlened with more statis- tics than any of these. however. It had its origin under Secvius Tullius. sixth king of Rome. and was an affair of much solemnity. Every citizen had to appear upon the Campus Martius and declare upon oath his name and dwell ing and the value of his property under the penalty of having his goods confs- cated.
 The most ancient statistical record of a census is found in the Bible. The census was taken by Moses in the will derness. and. as shown by the first chapter of Numbers. the enumeration must have been very simple. Take ye, said tmS account. the sum or HI the congregations of the children of Israel. after their families. by the house of their fathers. with the num- Der of their names, every male by their polls; from twenty years old and upward. all that are able to go forth to war in Israel; thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies" This census was an affair that must have been soon over lasting no longer than a day. being merely counting of the heads of the fighting men.

WHERE SUGAR GOES.

the sugar that is used in the United
States for candy alone is sufficient to
supply the whole of England under
the system now in vogue in that coun-
try: The recent scarcity is undoubt-
eddy arising from the hiding and hoard
ing that abs been under way since it
became possible to impose high prices
Agents Of the food administration re-
Gently found more than whole train
load hidden away in a mans ware
house labeled top crust flour" The
idea was to hold it till fortunes could
be taken from the sales.
The candy makers in this country
have recently forseen the shortage.
e. They knew it was stylish to buy and
hide away all that could be had and it
hardly to be denied that this has
I been practiced on all sides with the
most Interruptions regularity. The sd
. gar producing sections are not under
the foot of the war god Where the
greatest amount of sugar is produced
in raw state, there isn't any excitement
out Of tn usual And the raw sugar
that came to us last year was ar bum
! per crop
Now, with the world needing really
less Than it ever needed, we are told
that we must limit our use of it. We
are saving at least 25 per cent in our
our own every day diet and this should
in short while tell wonderfully in
evening up the supply.
# those who have supplies OF sugar
hidden away for year ahead should
be forced to disgorge and let it go on
the market, Their would be sugar
enough for everybody on all sides.
What is true of the coal supply is also
true of the sugar supply Those who
b hay been able to move coal have done
q
50 with all haste and excitement.
They have been prompted to do so
with the idea that something might de-
velop that would make it impossible to
get the actual needed supply at the
right time. And all this excitement
and unusual demand has simuly par
alyzed the sources of supply Even
the carriers are unable to keep up
the business that has in this excited
time been created.

together in a single year what is go
ing to put into preparation for war on
the North American continent in the
next twelve months unless some terms
of peace brings it to All end. Into all
the ammunition, SO long as it can be had,
will go cotton. linters, and other fibre
in great quantities. Our cotton will
be needed and needed badly. If we
made twenty million bales this year
it would have gone into the malestrom
in steaiy stream s long as the strug-
gle lasts, and within years time
there would still be calls for more cot
ton.
This is just the munitions side if it,
to say nothing Of the great amount OF
cotton going into manufactures arti-
cles all over the world where cotton
can be had The following little note
came from the department in Wash
ington:
Recent Investigations in the use of
cotton in war show:
"A 12-inch gun .disposes of half
bale of cotton with every shot fired;
machine gun in operation will use up
bale in three minutes; in a naval
battle like the one off Jutland over
5000 pounds a minute are consumed
by each cative warship; more than TO-
goo bales year are needed to provide
absorbant cotton for the wounds Of
the injured; one change of apparel for
all the troops now engaged in the war
represents NOR than a million bales"
