Happiness

Why is it few people can act on
truths put forth by great thinkers;
for example, that the unselfish are
happier than the selfish? In discuss
ing the progress of fellowship in in
dustry, people constantly speak TO
me as if granting benefits to labor
were a sacrifice. So, as We are con-
stituted, 1 suppose it is. Why is 1t
not rather a privilege? Do we know
in our hearts that simplicity and de-
yotion give a contentment no accu-
mutation of material things can III
val? 1t is not mere lack of courage
that keeps us from trying in our own
lives just a little of the New Tesla
ment? Indeed, is there anything
more tragic than to die without ever
having given the great spiritual
truths chance to practice?
l have been looking carefully into
the early stages of cooperation in
small manufacturing plant The plan
started about year ago. All, ques-
ton concerning factory employment
go first to a committee in which most
of the members are factory employees
The head of the concern has not diff
fered with the committee but once,
and then he was right, and when he
put his view, the committee volun-
tarily reversed its previous decision
by something like ten to one. This
concern last year paid exactly the
same dividends on wages that it paid
on capital. The president of the
company intends to carry the plan
further, as far as control goes, as
rapidly as the education OF employees
makes it possible. He has no desire
to pile up such = fortune that neither
he nor his descendants for genera
tiOns will know the necessity of do
ing their share in order to live. He is
without fear and without Incidence.
I know him and l know also many
of the other type of capitalists, who
cling to all the power and all the
profits. Believe me, if l had to
choose between his inner self-his
serenity, ardor, and youthful heart
and the tired, distrusted plethora
of the more acquisitive type, it
would not take me long.

Keep Zinc Away From
Your Preserves

Washington, Aug. 10.-Do not use
galvanized utensils in making pre-
serves, jellies, or fruit juices, the
States Department of Agriculture ad
vises. Some of the zinc with which
the vessels are galvanized may be
changed to salts of zinc, which will
give the product an acrid and astrin-
gent taste and render it unsuitable
for human use. Moreover, the dis
solving of this zinc coating tends to
ruin the container. The use of gal
vanized utensils for boiling down
fruit juice is especially risky.

FAIR PRICE LIST
Issued by The Food Administrator,
August 8, 1913.

These prices are the fair prices for
use in Baltimore city, and imply
normal deliveries and credits. I'm
usual delivery or abnormal credits
will justify an increased price.
! Except where specifeu, they cover
| only standard goods and are not
meant to apply to fancy or special
! brands.
In points outside Baltimore city.
these prices are subject to an in
crease on account of transportation.
where goods must be shipped from
! Baltimore, and to a decrease of SINH
lar amount in the case of local pro-
ducts.
The most important factor in the
food situation this week is the alb
normal condition with respect to
beef and to some extent with respect
to pork.
Beef now received is of widely
varying quality, and in consequence
the range of prices for the various
cuts is very wide. Rib roast of the
best quality, for instance, will bring
prices as high as Acc. a pound. Much
of the roast on the market, however
shu. jd be sold as low as 2tc. a
pound The range of prices on 9th
er cuts will be shown by the Fair
Price List.
Under these conditions the con-
sumner must either be his own judge
of quality or must rely upon the fair
ness of the dealer to secure the prop
er value for the price which he pays.
The prices quoted below for pork
are for locally slaughtered pork.
Western pork should be very much
cheaper. Roasts and chops of ives
tern pork, for example, should run
from eight to twelve cents below the
prices quoted.
This abnormal condition will prob
ably continue for several weeks and
is due largely to the marketing at
this time of grass fed cattle.

FRANCIS JOSEPH
knew that war
WAS Inevitable

Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
told one of his conf1dantes in May,
1914, that a European war was inev-
table and that only by this means
could the Treaty of Bucharest be
changed to solve the Balkan problem.
This conversation occurred one month
before the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand was assassinated. 1t comes to
light through the revelations of the
American Ambassador at Constantine
pie, Mr.. Henry M. Morgenthau, to
whom it was related by the Marquis
Pallavicini, to whom the Emperor
talked, Mr.. Morgenthau tells the story
in the Worlds Work for June, just
published. He says: y
1.-THE Austrian Ambassador, tho
Marquis Pallavicini, also practically
admitted that the Central Powers had
precipitated the war. On August IS,
Francis Joseph's birthday, I made the
usual ambassadoriaI visit of congratu-
lation. Quite naturally the converse
ton turned upon the Emperor, who
had that day passed his S4th year.
PUallavicini spoke about him with the
utmost pride and generation. He told
me how keen-minded and clear
headed the aged Emperor was; how
he had the most complete understand
ing of international fairs, and gave
everything his personal supervision.
To illustrate the Austrian Kaiser's
grasp of public events, Pallavicini in
stanced the present war. The previous
may, Pa1lavicini had had an audience
with Francis Joseph in Vienna. AT
that time Pallavicini told me, the EN-
porer had said that a European war
was unavoidable. The Central Pow
| ers would not accept the Tretty OF
Bucharest, as a settlement of the
Balkan question, and only general
war, the Emperor had told Pa1la-
civini, could ever settle that problem
The treaty of Bucharest, 1 may recall
was the settlement that ended the sec
| ond Balkan war. This divided the
European dominians of the Balkan
states, excepting Constantinople and g
small piece of adjoining territory
among the Balkan nations, chiefly Ser.
| bia and Greece. That treaty strength.
| ened Serbia greatly; SO much did il
| increase Serbia's resources, indeed
that Austria feared that it had laiG
the beginning of new European
state that might grow sufficiently
strong to resist her own plans of ag.
| grandizement. Austria held a large
Serbian population under her yoke il
Bosnia and Herzegovina; these Ser.
bans desired, above everything else
annexation to their own country
Moreover, the Pan-German plans il
the East necessitated the destruction
of Serbia, the state which, so long al
it stood intact, blocked the Germanit
| road to the East. 1t had been the

Great BRITAIN
SPENT IN YEAR
S13,45O,OOO,OO

We gave last month forecast of
the figures for the British Govern
ment's fiscal year, which ended
March S1st, but the complete figures
are now available and are sufficiently
remarkable to merit a. re-instate-
the year, including loans to allies,
were S13,45O, 900, 900, and the reve-
nues $3,536,172,000, leaving a deficit
of approximately $9,914, 000,o 900,
which was raised by various forms
of borrowing. The national debt
at the end Of the year was $29, 401,-
100000.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer
has submitted to Parliament his bud
get for the new year. The estimated
expenditures are $14,S6O, 900;
revenues, including new taxation,
$4,210,250, 900, balance to be raised
by loans, approximately $10,650, 000,-
900. The national debt after another
year of war will be about $40, 000,-
100000. Against this there will be
recoverable assets, including claims
upon allies, of something like $780,
100000, 900. The Chancellor stated
that Great Britain has borrowed OF
the United States during the year
only to the extent that it had loaned
to its allies.
The news taxes proposed by the
Government, like the existing levies
will fall mainly upon incomes and
luxuries. The basic income tax is
to be raised from shillings in the
pound sterling (25 per cent? to {
shillings (33 Ia per cent? and the
super tax also will be raised. To.
bacco, beer and spirits will pay con.
siderably higher taxes, but the My
new levies upon necessaries are in.
creases upon sugar and matches.
1t is to be remembered, of course
= that these figures are for the United
Kingdom alone, and do not incluet
the budgets of the British colonies
and dependencies, which are al
making similar exenditures in pro
portion to their resources, and, also
that while proposing to spend nearl,
$15, 000,000,000 in the coming year
the United Kingdom is about to rails
the military age to SO years. TIL
enormous war burdens therefore ar
to be borne by that part of the ma
ton remaining in industry after tn

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-05-29


Austro- German expectation that the
Balkan war would destroy Serbia as a
natfon-that Turkey would simply an
initiate King Peters forces. This was
precisely what the Germanic plans
demanded, and for this reason Aus
tria and Germany did nothing to pre-
vent the Balkan wars. But the result
was exactly the reverse; out of the
conflict arose a stronger Serbia than
ever, tsanding firm like a breakwater
against the Germanic path. Most his
torians agree that the Treaty of Bu-
charest made inevitable this war. I
have the Marquis Pallavicini's evil
dence that this was likewise the opin-
ion of Francis Joseph himself. The
audience at which the Emperor made
this statement was held in May, more
than a month before the assassination
of the Archduke. Clearly, therefore,
the war would have come irrespective
of the calamity at Sarajevo. That
merely served as the conveient pre-
text for the war upon which the Cen
trail Empires had already decided"

BUY AUTOMOBILE
FOR W. S. LACEY

In appreciation of the services
given by W. Seymour Lacey general
secretary of the Y. M C. A. who act
ed as campaign manager in the Red
Cross drive, the "a captains of the
teams which took part in the drive,
contributed to purchase Dodge au-
tomobile as token of esteem in
which Lacey is held by the workers.
1t has been recalled that Mr.. Lacey
has not acted in the capacity of cam
paign manager for the Red Cross
drives without remuneration but has
also acted in the same capacity for
the knights of Columbus war fund
drive and the Y. M. C. A. and Saliva
ton Army drives.
! When the idea of purchasing a car
was proposed after the last dollar had
been collected for the Red Cross
drive, a special committee went
among the team captains and they
generously dug down" in their
pockets to get the required amount.
Within few minutes from the time
! the idea was proposed the money was
secured and the handsome car was at
the door of the Stratfield awaiting its
new owner.
The names of the captains who
gave to the fund to buy the car are:
