straight for the boys. But they were
prepared for the encounter and one of
them succeeded in killing the huge
bird with a well-directed blow on the

years of age, the son of the late mis-

was educated in Norway and has
studied music in Christiania and in

Patriotic Meeting Starts Discus

Guess Be?

The Rotary notice of last weeks
meeting, in addition to announcing the
speaker, mentioned that the Greatest
Figure in American History would be
present at the lunch. Immediately ro-
nance started in the members minds.
The secretary's Office would give no
direct answer to the question OF who,
on the phone. This added TO mortal
inquisitiveness. Those with Democratic
rroclivities said it would be President
Wilson. those OF Republican stripes
guessed Teddy. The pacitists ticked on
BRYAN, and so on down the line, each
coioring It to suit. his color. But no
body answering any of the conjectures
put in an appearance. First there was
a patriotic salute, and in marched

Cosmetic Prices Firm
Manufacturer Tells Of Stable Condi-
ton. in Trade

According TO Edwin II. ONeil, a
manufacturer of toilet preparations,
there is, in spite Of war conditions,
greater demand this summer than last
for high grade cosmetics. This is
partly attributed to the fear Of the
public that stocks of raw materials
will become scarce, as they have in
many other lines, and consequently
many people who formerly bought sim
gle packages of their favorite prepara-
ton are now laying in a stock as
against a possible advance in price.
Mr.. O'Neil does not believe that any
considerable advance in the retail price
will take place. but he thinks the
action is good for general business
anyhow. II an ingredient or base is not
used in the manufacture of ammunition
or accoutrement, there is no reason for
a Jump in price unless II be a sympa-
thetic one. Mr.. O'Neil makes face
cream that bears society's Endorsement:
It is known as Olive Cream, and
would not kill many Germans unless
they ate too much Of II.

Central Committee of
300 Named to Support
Cabinet in Russia

Petrograd, July 10.-An important
stem toward the consolidation of Rus
sia's democracy and the strengthening
Of the Lvoff Cabinet is the creation Of
a central executive committee" sit
ting at Petrograd under the presidency
Of n. c. Tcheidse. This committee will
act as the representative Of the pan
Russian congress of the Council Of
workmen's and Soldiers Delegates, Of
which VI. Tcheidse is the head.
The central committee consists Of
three hundred members, fifty of whom
were elected by the Petrograd Council
Of Delegates. which therefore continues
20 play an important role. The Petro-
grad council and all the provincial
councils continue 70 exist, but are made
responsible 70 the central committee.
Thus is created an all-Russian demo
cratic Parliament. which will WELD the
power until the constituent assembly
organizes permanent representative IN
stitutions.
The all-Russian peasant congress re-
mains indeepndent, but will collabo-
rate with the central committee. The
first indication OF such united action
was the joint signing by these organi-
zations of the latest appeal 20 the army.
II is expected that at later date they
will merge.
The strengthening Of the Cabinet re-
suits from the fact that the central
committee is pledged by the all-Rus-
sian Congress OF Delegates 20 "the en-
ergetic support OF the provisional gov
ernment." The Petrograd councils
newspaper declares that the central
committee will not tolerate any further
local excesses or challenges 20 the gov
eminent.

Anticipation and Realization

+ Joy is always keener, and
sorrow more poignant, in an
ticipation than in the crisis of
realization.
A play that has been enthu-
siastically recommended to you
by almost every one you know
Iabors under a severe handicap
when you finally see it, because
the glamour of anticipation has
clothed it in supervirtues that
do not exist.
The ten minutes you wait in
the reception room of a dem
lists office is a sharper purga..
tory than the actual attack Of
the dreaded instruments.
Anticipation puts things in
italics and then underscores
them. Realization is just plain
type.
You hear of tricks and trag-
edies inflicted on others. You
wonder how "they ever lived
through them" A phase of
your own life has been partic-
ularly thorny. Years after, in
retrospection, you wonder how
you "ever lived through it."
You don't know what you can
live through until you're put
to the test. And the more
you've lived through the more
valuable a member of society
you are.
It is the anticipation Of what is
going to happen in this country, on
account of the war, that is causing
the partial paralysis of business that
exists to-day.
Nearly every business man you
meet will deny that any paralysis
does exist-he will spout Business
as usual" maxims and prosperity
slogans with convincing bravado, and
then when he's alone cancel an order
over the phone until he "sees what's
what" That man-and there are
many Of him-is a victim of antici-
patton.
Yet, six months from now, when
he finds that he's still alive and able
to take nourishment, that his home
is still standing, that the butcher
still sells underweight and the
grocer still works his imagination
overtime on the subject of strictly
fresh eggs, he will look back and
wonder why he didn't plan ahead to
reap the harvest that is rolling into
his neighbor's Golfers. Six months
of business success are gone, never
to be regained, just through pessi-
mistic anticipation.
The only miracle about this war is
that it ever could have happened in
this presumably enlightened age. But
now that it has happened, there is an
end to miracles. No country is going
20 be swallowed up over night. No
divine mantle will fall upon the shoul-
ers of the self-hypnotized Hohenzollern
universe. It's a mighty distasteful job F..
that's ahead, but, nevertheless, it's /.
just job, and things can't stand f.
still until it's finished.
Men who never had enough mag .
ination to see how a nickel from their .
pockets would Tighten the misery of the |
blind man on the corner now con-
lure up nation of blind men who will |
be a burden to the country and indi-
rectly increase taxation. Men who in
times Of peace went over 10 Europe and .
loud-mouthed in public places on the
supremacy Of the United States in
everything from baked beans to bill
lions, now forecast an utter subjuga-
tion Of its might and millions. And .
business suffers.

Famine

Petrograd. July 1o.-The American
Commission. headed by Elihu Root, has
completed a months survey Of all the
phases Of the Russian situation, and
is confident in the belief that the
nation will successfully emerge from
its internal difficulties and be able to
redirect its forces toward the energetic
pursuance Of the war.
The optimistic conclusions Of the
commission are not derived alone from
consultations with the governmental
heads. but are based more largely upon
the spirit and determination of the
people which have been encountered in
public organizations. political and in
dustrial councils and in all the delega-
tions properly representative OF the
temper of the nation as whole.
Patriotic Purpose Evident
The members Of the commission. who
came in frequent contact with the pop
ular delegates. whether of the Council
Of Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates,
the Peasants Delegates or any OF the
various other elements of the complex
proletariat organism, nave expressed
the opinion that beneath the feverish
conflict of words and ambiguity of
terms which are the natural result of
the newly acquired right of free
speech, there lay patriotic purpose
not essentially different from that OF
other democracies at war with auto
cratic ideas.
There is, however. no disposition on
the part Of the commission TO mini
mize either the dangers threatened by
the widespread German propaganda
and pacifsm agitation or the practical
difficulties in the way of transporta-
tion and the reorganization Of Rus
sia's economic life. The question Of
the food supply rs, in the opinion OF
the commission. the most important
problem confronting the country, and
unless some means is Immediately
taken to improve transport. fall and
winter will see famine in many places.
"No incurable Malady"
Mr.. Root has made the following
statement TO The Associated Press;
"The mission has accomplished what
il came here TO do. and we are greatly
encouraged. We found no organic or
incurable maladv IN the Russian de-
mocracy. Democracies are always III
trouble. and we have seen days Just

81 Killed and 141 Injured in German
Air Raid Over London

London Dispatch, July Z.
The second descent upon London
by squadron of airplanes was made
this morning between 9 and 10 o.
clock when the business section of
the metropolis was most crowded.
Although the German contingent was
larger, more daring, more delibera-
tive in its methods and descended
much lower than on the visit. June
13, the number of killed and wound
ed was on-third the previous cas-
ualty list. The destruction of prop
erty may have been greater, but that
it is impossible to estimate. Thirty
seven persons were killed and 141
injured, it was officially announced
this afternoon. The flight of the
Germans over London lasted about 20
minutes. English airmen engaged
the enemy for several minutes over
the metropolis and anti-aircraft guns
were firing briskly, but without de-
destroying any of the twentyor more
invading machines. The admiralty
was able to report tonight, however,
that naval airman who followed them
tC sea brought down three machines.
