The Cost of War

All figures of other wars pale when stops to con-
slider the cost of this one The human cost staggers
one and the cost in money chargeable to present and
future generations cannot be computed with any
degree of certainty.
The nations at war on both sides have proven faith
full to each other despite all the base inrigues and
costly propaganda of the common enemy of mankind,
Germany. World conditions totally different to-
day what they three years ago. and one of the
greatest problems of the future will be to meet and
solve the economic liabilities of all the nations of the
earth.
With a war costing SI6ooooooo day; with, as in
Great Britain the national debt equaling one-fourth
of the nations wealth; with Germanys debt equalng
one-third of her wealth with the thought in mind that
the present liberty loan would not of itself pay the
taxes in the coming year. confronted with facts
that will require the tact the genius the patience and
the cooperation of the greatest minds in the world IN
their solution and adjustment.
"Instead of disorganizng the world the conflict, it
will be found has organized and regmented il" writes
a sound economist in very useful book just issued
on THE Cost of the War" Modern methods in the
conduct of war have brought higher efficiency and
ganization. And tremendous effect, assured,
will come out of industrial organization.
Science, too has advanced by leaps and bounds and
future generations will reap the benefits of the prog
not as dark as we sometimes picture it, and all be
worth while if liberty is again enthroned and the ma
tons of the world have perpetual freedom.

The Wars End.

James Gordon Bennett. who was educated largely
in Germany and whose familiarity with the German
character enables him to speak advsedy of it. thinks
the end of the war will come suddenly. He says it
may be in month, or in three months, or in year,
but he doubts if il will go longer than that.
America is interested in the statement of course.
But matter how long it goes America will have a
hand in seeing that it lasts long enough achieve the
ends for which we entered the conflict We cannot
consistently withdraw until those ends have been
achieved To do so would only invite further battle
some time in the future. We in the affair now at
tremendous cost, to make the world safe for many
generations come and guarantee for all peoples
for the future peace that will be world embracing and
lasting.
Again we say peace awaits the pleasure of the Ger
man people. The imperial government long ago for
feed its right make peace but that right will re-
main open to the German people constantly

fishing Company of New York and Washington)
God of the nations, Thou who hast
In ages past Thy causes won
Through Wars all-desolating blast,
Grant that henceforth Thy will be done
Through peace and all her gentle arts
Through mutual faith and kindly hearts
God of the nations, see afar
Thine ancient world one bloody field!
Behold, myriad sleeping are
Where oft Thy cause to arms appealed
There is no spot on Earth where Cain
Hath not bestowed his bloody stain.
God of the nations hear our prayerl
Thy people for deliverance call
Upnask the glitter and the glare;
Teach us the folly of it all. rs
Then shall we live and know thy law,
g Its meaning, and obey in awe.

Viva! Baseball.

The attendance of the current world series should
be of qualification to all Americans. 1t has
demonstrated that national game is still the
tional game. and due to fall into the decline pre-
dcted so freely during the past season.
The activities attendant to war preparation have
stunted the growth of baseball this year, which was
natural but the grand climax of the season. financially
speaking compares favoraby with those that have gone
before And it is through the financial end that the
prosperity of the game is measured.
The decline of baseball would mean more than
mere loss of popular sport. 1t would mean the de-
structon of American institution, pillar of de-
mocracy.
Owing to youth, America has far too few in
situations that spare the loss of even one par
ticulary when that is dominant
Baseball is, and always has been the cleanest sport
existent It has been basis of physical training for
American youth, and its results have more than jus-
fed the receptions which have accorded it. 1t has
developed young men, not only physically, but
morally and mentally. 1t has taught them to fight with
a spirit of fairness unknown to other sports of uni
versal appeal
There has never been sincere intimation of faint
connected with its life despite the fact that it has be-
come professional medium unrivalled in its premier
position. Baseball is the square If it had not
been, we would have witnessed world series
which ended in four games. The thousands of dollars
which would have accrued from additional games would
have baed proteers had not the honesty of the
been unquestioned
We glory in the fact that the American people still
regard the sport of the land and instead of de-
terorafing let hope that in our intimate intercourse
with Euror it will spread beyond the Atlantic and
that some day in the not too distant future world
series will be world series in the literal sense OF the

DR.. MARDEN'S UPLIFT TALKS.

Author Of Pushing TO the Front Etc.
Making the Plain Girl Attractive.


Copyright. ls:7 by the Mcclure NEWSPAPER
syndicate.)
I know a young girl who has a large
mole under her eye and a small birth
mark near her ear. For years this
girl has tortured herself brooding over
how she is handicapped by what she
terms her misfortune" instead of
trying to compensate for these little
defects by developing personal at
Effectiveness, by self-improvement and
self-culture. She said she was lonely
and misunderstood and that she had
given up trying to be like other peo-
pie; that she was born that way and
she supposed she would die so. She
did not care how she looked or how
she behaved. She had arrived at
the point of absolute indifference as
to what other people thought Of her.
She believed it did not matter how
she appeared, or what she did. The
was to be an isolated figure in the
world.
Think Of young girl with a beaut-
full future possible for her assuming
such a pessimistic attitude right on
the Threshold of her career. 1t is
sorry day in any girls life when
she adopts the ''whats-the-use" phil
osophy.
Our con6uct corresponds with our
thought: our mental attitude is al
ways the model of our conduct No
girl can be graceful while she thinks
she Is ungainly. She must think grace
before she can act gracefully. There
is everything in holding the mental
attitude which will correspond to the
thing which we are trying to attain
or to become.
If you are plain girl and imagine
that your face is very ugly just per-
sist in holding the picture of your
self as comely. as having charm of
manner. an attractive personality.
Hold the ideal of yourself in your
mind, vizualize yourself as you would
like to be, as you long to be. Con-
template beautiful things. dwell upon
them, think about them and be less
conscious of yourself and your defects.

Special Correspondent The Washington Herald
New York. Oct. 15.-He does not
smoke, play cards or swear. And on
this account Broadway, where ne is
well known, believes he has some big
hideous vice like wearing suspenders,
drinking lemonade or wearing nou-
veau art neckties.
He glides about nightly in the dam
SAINTS always with n fair and beau
teous charmer as his companion.
Cafe managers respect him because
his check for food is generally worth
while.
Down in Yucatan, wherever sisal
growers and tortoise shell merchants
foregather to sip their coffee and
cognac, his name is mentioned with
a Spanish oath and the clcnching of
fingers.
The story was told to me by ore
who knows. The young man came
from a fine Brooklyn family. He lived
a quiet, uneventful life until his
firm sent him to Yucantan on a
business mission.
He was the guest of a prominent
planter. The planters wife was a
beautiful Spanish girl who tired of
her lonely existence and welcomed
the new visitor.
The planter finally suspected the
situation and being a much older and
wiser man permitted the visitor to
run off with his wife. He brought
her to America. His firm discharged
him.
The husband still furnishes her
with an ample allowance and she in
turn furnishes him with spending
money SO that they can make the
rounds of the cafes-a life entirely
new to her and one that she loves.
He looked very tired and world
weary when 1 saw him. 1t was easy
to suspect that the beauty across
from him had become a mill stone.
Perhaps the husband realized this.
But in the end it is the woman who
will pay.
A group of New York capitalists
have secured leaseholds on some
valuable property down in Bloody
Breathitt county, Kentucky. A young
engineer - fresh from college was
permitted to accompany some older
engineers to aid in the drilling.
ilS NoIe plIlCn DaCk coat,
zebra shirt and a rah-rah-rah hat.
The others decided not to tell him to
change to a flannel shirt and corduroy
pants. So on the first morning he
.strolled out on the main street of
the village In his Broadway make
up.
Several loungers noted him and
laughed right out loud. After he
had proceeded about 200 yards, there
was the report of a pistol, and later
a dog came chasing after the young
man. But he was apparently oblivi-
Gus to the efforts to frighten him.
after an hour he walked into a blind
tiger place and asked for an ice cream
soda. But the story has on o. Henry
ending. Before the engineers had
been in the town two days the young
up-start was hob-nobbing with all
the bad men of the town.
His unconcern was so naive that 1t
won their sympathy.
The high cost of sneering is grow
ing. A New York judge soaked a
man in the Bronx SIS for sneering
at a soldier. Others who have sneers
struggling for expression are to be
sent to jail.
