THE SINEWS OF WAR

The answer to the German twaddle that the American people are not firmly and unaltertbly in this war for victory, and that it really is Wilson s war;" has been given an effectual an swer in the overwhelming success of the two-billion dollar liberty loan. If the German people have been under any misapprehension on the subject it is time for them to become disillu- stoned.
 Not only has the loan been oversub- scribed-possibly by 50 per cent-but it has proved to be distictively popu- lar loan. It is estimated that fully D. 500,0OO persons purchased bonds. As suming that the loan footed up ex- actly $2,00O,O0O,O00 the subscription represents per capita investment of $20 for the entire population of 1902 000,O00 and per capita investment of $500 for the two and quarter million persons who actually subscrib- ed As a matter of fact, the average was considerably higher in view of the over-subscription.
 The surpassing popularity of the loan is illustrated by the fact that that total number of subscriptions is six times as large as the aggregate number of holders of all other bonds in the United States at the present time.
 The kaiser will find no gleam of comfort in the thought that the sue cess of the Notation was occasioned by the rate of interest. The liberty bonds bear a rate of 8 31z per cent, which is low in comparison with prevailing money rates. There are various ad- vantages identified with this loan which gives it speacial appeal to in- vestors, but nothing can mar the glor- ious circumstances that the popularity of the loan was due not so much to it's attractiveness from the viewpoint of security-althougnt that was an i'm portant factor-but that it was floated under the standard of the American flag to finance Americas war against tyrannous insult and aggression.
 Americas success is floating the greatest loan even undertaken will occupy a bright page in the annals of the war and in the history of our country.

the country, while their second son takes up the sceptor or authority.
 No country has been so colorless in its attitude toward the great war as the Hellenic kingdom. It has been neither neutral nor belligerent. The unhcrsed king always has pretended to be dictated by considerations of neutrality in his actions and there has been much sympathy for him in this country on account of the thank less position in which he has been placed. Yet it is known that if he was not pro-German he was anything but broadly, and during the late months the entente claims that showed his hostility toward their cause is such way as to endanger their move ments.
 The fact that the populace in gen. eral caused practically no demonstra- tion when Constantine retired, indi- cates that the busted ruler was not in harmony with his subjects-also that his people as whole are favor able to the entente.
 What effect the change will have on Greek policy remains to be seen, but there has been nothing to indi- cate that the allies expected Greece actually to participate in the war, and probably nothing will be demanded of the government except that it maintain is attitude of benevolent neutrality, so that when the allied army at Saloniki advances from it's base it will not be threatened from the rear. If. M. Venizelos keeps his pro- mises it is certain that if Greece does not actively join the allies it will at least keep the kaiser on the anxious seat.
 It is possible, too, that the change in the situation at Athens. will wit ness a recurrence of military activity in the balkans and that Sarrail's army will attempt to justify it's existence.

BATTLE WEDGE ENTERED

The appearance of Gen. Pershing in Paris is aptly described as the pre- senting of the thin point of the Ameri- can battle wedge.
 And so it is.
 Behind that point is force, when organized, more powerful than the Prussian military machine. And it is being organized as rapidly as such an enterprise is possible to a republic long committed to ways of peace.
 Shortly that wedge will be inserted against the Prussian bulwarks, and unless those defenses give way to the constant hammering of the British and French there is not the slightest doubt that the wedge will be driven home, and with satisfactory results.
 There is not the slightest doubt but that the United States is becoming aroused as swiftly as the people are brought to realize the peril in which this nation has been plunged. For without victory now that we are en- gagged in war; without taking part that thoroughly demonstrates the physical strength of this nation, the United States will have been injured even more than to have acquisced in the lawlessness of Germany on the high seas. If we do not win, then this government will be compelled, in all probability, to pay such indemnities as will be immensely more costly than the thorough preparation for the world war.
 This Americans very generally un- derstand in most sections of the coun- try. and they are coming to under stand it everywhere. This is shown in the degree of enthusiasm that. is sweeping westward. Already the east ern and middle states are convinced of the nations peril and are in the fullest accord with the government in its stupendOus preparations. The fact that the West is not yet aroused is accounted for by the extreme dis tance which we are from the centers of activity. Even so, the West has shown a commendable zeal in contri- outing to the bond issue and in it's preliminary organization to raise it's part of the s10O,OOO,0OO Red Cross emergency fund.

City Man Can Tell Farmer
How to Run His Business
But Can't Do 1t Himself

You often hear it said that farmers
are not good business menl Many

the country and comes back to lay
down the law about business eff
cheney" According TO him all these
farmers need is a business system-au
the rest would follow it.
But what about the business men
who have tried farming? inquiries the
Rural New Yorker. Thousands Of
them have bought land and started
farming with abundant capital, scien-
tific advice and the finest of business
trainingl How many of them make
their farms pay even with their thor
ough knowledge of business? If they
were forced to run a farm with the
capital and equipment within the reach
of the average farmer they would go
bankrupt In less than year. Their
business training is based on capital
and credit always within reach, and as
they well know, even with this advan-
tage they fail to make a farm pay a
profit nine times in ten.

A Soda Water Well.

Many queer things have been discov-
cred by the drill since and before Colo
mel Drake discovered that oil could be
obtained by the artesian process, but
the most unique one is that recently
struck In the Philippines. 1t is located
In the town of San Fernando, on the
Island of Tcao. At the depth Of 4O5
feet an enormous vein of water was
struck, with such gas pressure that
the volume was thrown so feet in the
air. 1t was only by exerting every pos
sible effort that small flood was
averted. The flow was finally checked,
however, and the water directed out
and downward through two small
pipes, through which it continues to
rush with undiminished force.
Samples of the water taken show that
1t is heavily charged with carbonio
acid gas and appears and tastes LIKE
ordinary soda water.

money all his life, and he had come to
realize with bitterness how 1t newt
ably ate into their happiness.
Three years before Nita, tired of
their friends, had surrounded herself
with literary hangers-on, including
few embittered women who wrote
upon their wrongs and their sex's
wrongs for the press. Now all their
guests discussed things which he had
a vague idea even a married woman
should know nothing about. And they
talked of literature till his head
ached.
They despised him, the pack of
them, especially since Nita had at
tanned fame with her first novel,
"Woman or Man?" Ten thousand cop
les had been sold, and the press had
published extensive criticisms about it.
1.-THE Sentinel of Lone Peak" his
wife's latest, was not romance, as
the name might imply. The sentinel
was woman and Lone Peak was the
position of the lonely woman (Nita),
too advanced for her age, and misun-
derstood; also bound down by domes-
tic ties.
George was spoken of as "Mrs.
Latham's husband" He was an out
cast in their own home. Long-haired
poets trampled upon him, metaphor
ically speaking, and made love to Mia
under guise of sympathy.
There was worse than that. Mia
had grown tired of him. She hau
limited at divorce. She said that she
wanted to find her soul.
The quarrel was renewed on success
sive days. 1t was the old story of the
drudging husband and the brilliant
wife. Nita knew that she must take
the step-he never would.
