WARS GOLDEN AGE.
cardiff's Subscription to British War
Loan 10 S150, 900.

Loan 10 s15o,ooo,ooo.
Cardiff, Wales.-Subscripti from
Cardiff to the new British war loan
Amounted to more than $150,OO0, 900,
an average Of $3.50 for every man,
woman and child I'm the city. This re-
markable contribution is an indication
of the golden age which the war has
brought to Cardiff. In no British city
has such vast wealth been earned so
easily and quickly.
At the outbreak Of the war Cardiff
had the largest export trade In the
country. Freights began to increase.
Ships doubled, trebled, quadrupled In
ralue. Young business men, enterpris-
ing and daring, bought whole fleets on
a speculative basis which would almost
make New York curb broker hest
tate.
Among the new millionaires Of Car
diff are fourteen young men who be-
fore the war were shipping clerks
earning not more than $40 a week.
1t has not been the owners only who
have profted. First class dock Ia
borers. especially trimmers, have earn
ed as high as 500 week. The min
ers, too, have earned big money, and
the shopkeepers, especially the jewel
ers and the department stores, have
never known such prosperous times.

New York.-The managers Of the no
tells and public buildings that are now
decorated with flags Of the allies are
very likely to be brought to task by
some stanch patriot IL the flag Of his
country, no matter how small or little
talked Of, does not prominently figure
In the scheme.
An excitable stranger accosted h
Douglass Brown, assistant manager OF
q hotel here, and demanded volubly to
know why a flag Of San Marino was
not with the others In front of the ho-
tel. For awhile the manager was over
whelmed, but finally made out that the
man was one of the ten thousand odd
inhabitants of San Marine and that he
and his relatives, making up most OF
the population, wanted 1t understood
that they and their army of $50 were
now allies of this ''vera great countree."
In some distress of mind Mr.. Brown
went to the decorators room, but no
San Marine flag could be found, so a
special order was given, and within a
few days the smallest republic-twenty-
two square miles-and one of the
worlds oldest, having existed thou
sand years, will have its place beside
Its greater allies.

Democracy and Autocracy.

This war is between democracy and
autocracy. Students of government
know that there Is as great measure
of democracy under tho existing Eng
fish system OF government as is to be
found anywhere on the planet. The
word republic" has an allurng
sound. 1t seems at first sight to
represent something different from
any possible monarchy. And for
new napon such is undoubtedly the
case. when the interplay of political

which can rise or fall at any time
without interruption to the serenely

English sovereign serves a most use

point for race interests that transcend
the merely mechanical functions of

whether republican Great Britain
would be as real a democracy as the

IN doing So for the safety of our coun-
try just now is IN the hands OF our
farmers. What ] mean IS not merely
our safety and the safety of our al
lies in the matter OF food. l mean
that the safety OF the United States
against foreign invasion hangs on the
decision of the farmers of the forty
eight states.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms viii be won or
lost In France-the war against star
walton viii be won or lost in America.
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English
navy while England has food But it
is still possible that the German sub
marines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England to
starve her into submission.
If the submarines win. the first item
in the kaiser's terms OF peace will be
the English feet. with the English
feet in his possession the kaiser will
be master Of the world.
What will happen to us them Fvpry
