The first torch represents the flame of war, that the beautiful courtes;sD carries from city to city and country to coun- try.

TOLSTOY'S VISION

Tolstoy, in the summer of 1915, made a prophecy of general war in Europe, soon to take place, which stands. in the light of present events, as q document Of remarkable interest. The author or-revolutionist sent his prophecy as a age~tO the czar, in response to a personal request made by the czar in compliance with the desire of the kaiser Of Germany and king of England for a direct message from the philosopher. Tolstoys an swer, while setting 1913 instead of 1914 will be seen to have predicted with striking accuracy the manner of the beginning of the great conflict of the powers
 Countess Nastasia Tolstoy who transmitted the message at the czar's S request, wrote of her visit to the old count.

ore which is not used locally is shipped

Indeed. everything connected with
the steel for the war is based upon
scientific investigation and cost ef-
ficiency methods. The use of machin-
cry to take the place of human muscle
was never carried nearer perfection.
The ore fleet does Its work better and
more cheaply than any other line Of
vessels now operating. 1t transports
more freight and at a lower cost.
Think Of taking a ton Of iron thirty
two miles on the energy of one pound
of coal. of carrying a ton of freight a
mile on one-half ounce, or as little as
you could pick up with your thumb and
one finger. That is what the Great
Lakes steamers are doing. Until the
war began they were carrying wheat
a thousand miles for less than 2 cents

for 30 cents ton. The rates are now
trebled, but they are still low.

French territory. So the whole ques-
tion comes back to whether Germany.
in the economic sense. could afford to
lose control of the Lorraine iron ore
deposits.
Were an economic alliance to be per-
fected under which England and
France would be able to deny Germany
all raw materials. the loss Of Lorraine
undoubtedly would be a severe blow
to Germany. Yet, in spite Of the bitter
ness that Is certain to exist for some
years after the war, which affect the

Of the countries that have been en-
gagged in 1t. no political economist be-
Heves that this policy Of denial Of raw
materials can be carried out.
Until the breaking out Of hostilities
the German iron and steel industries
imported considerable quantities Of the
high-grade iron ore from the French
fields. If Germany were to lose Lor-
raine she would expect the privilege
of importing both the Lorraine ores
and those from the other French dis
tricts. Moreover, considered purely in
the economic sense, Germany also has
an offset to the French possession u
the iron ore deposits. This 10 in her

France does not produce coal enough

She has no great coal fields adjoining
her iron ore fields. except in a few in
stances. The importation Of British
coal for these industries is an eco
nomic extravaganza that adds to the
cost Of production, even assuming that
England always will have coal to
spare. which Is not the case. Had the
German drive on Paris succeeded and
Germany been able to dictate terms Of
peace to France. the cession of the
Longwy-Briey ore fields undoubtedly
would have been part Of her terms.
The experience with Alsace-Lorraine
and the failure to Germanize those
provinces after more than forty years
would have had no effect on the grasp

were stretched out for the French ore
beds. France in that situation would.

steamer and from it extends down
long arm made of a network of steel,
four or more feet in diameter, with a
mighty hand at the bottom which will
grasp in its fist at one time as much
iron ore as thirty horses could haul on
a wagon. The great arm shoves this
mighty hand down into the hold and
picks up fifteen tons of ore. 1t moves
around through the hold. scrapes the
ore together, and, raising 1t, drops 1t
