MEN, WOMEN
 AND THINGS

It's but trite to say that in trying ts estimate and study great historical move ments and revolutions, there is no truef principle than that wars, though they may rise from small and insignificant exhibitions or circumstances, are con- cerned with large issues.
 The firing of shot by a Servian stu dent in the summer of 1914 seemed q mighty little thing not only to be heard around the world but to be a signal for more than a score of, nations to taka up arms and to spend billions on muni- tions
 If we want to get starting point, we can say that the great war took its rise from the murder of an archduke and the indignation of the Austrian gov ernment with Belgrade, where. it main tained, the plot was in reality matched. 1t was the matchrused for lighting the eonflagration which has devasted Europe and spread it's flame both to the Ameri- can, the Asiatic and the African conti- nepts.
 It was the ultimatum addressed by Austria Hungary to Servia in conse- quence of the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Sarajevo which set the diplomatic ball rolling which eventu- ated in the bloodiest conflict ever staged on this old earth of ours and which now, after four years, is beginning to be halted by the surrender of the Austrians who. at least, precipitated it,

asKAMERADv

From the Cleveland Plaindeaier. There is a growing impression that the word "kamerad" is being not only overworked but debased. As Dr. Henry Vans Dyke points out, comrade and camerade are admirable words and rich in fraternaI meaning. "Kamerad' is a debased form of the French word. an, emergency call, cry for mercy. a frightened squawS. There is nothing fraternal about it. A comrade is the man beside you,S shoulder to shoulder He shares your hardships and your perils. His cause is your cause, and your fight is his fight. By no pos-' sible course of req soning can an open enemy be transformed into brother in arms. The German fighting man., when hard pressed. when cornered, when sHddenly overcome by the sick ness of fear and nausea of approach ing death, filings up his arms and screams like hurt child. There is nothing more than this in the "kamo- rad appeal The German soldier re- gards 1t as an ingratiating word, an emergency claim to universal brother hood, a knock at the door Of mercy, a verbal life preserver.
 If it Is to be used in the present crisis as an admission of abject sur render. well and good, but there can be no comrade flavor about it. There must be no suspicion of fraternal cam ouflage.

For Sixteen Centuries
 San Marine Has Been Free

A MERIcA, hailed as the greatest AA republic on the globe, whose representatives are just now at Yer sailles playing an important part in settling the future of the world, is a mere infant in arms, compared to the tiny republic of San Marine, which ''has maintained it's independence, it's ideals of liberty, in the midst of strife and bloodshed, of changing social con- ditions, for sixteen centuries"
 Naturally, San Marine hastened to align herself with the democracies fighting Germany and if we were in clined to smile at the aid that might be given by state boasting popu- lation of eleven thousand and an area of 3S square miles, there was genuine admiration for the achievements which lpake the small republic unique in the worlds history.
 Although entirely surrounded by the kingdom of Italy, where wars and political upheavals have been numer- ous, San Marine has had no dissen- sions, no feudal lords to domineer and no conQuerors to ride roughshod over her people. San Marine has always believed in the simple life and through many centuries that is the kind of ex- istence her people have led, changing their laws slowly, but always with the purpcse of making them better.
 Every citizen between the ages of IS and 60 is enrolled for military serv- ice if they should be needed, but the people are so peaceful and so law abiding that there is little or no ne- cessity for maintaining police force, whose duties are nominal. Borgo is the commercial center of the republic and biennial fairs are the most stir ring events in the life of San Marine.
 A hardy, frugal race inhabit the mountains of the republic San Ma rino is not quite Utopia, but it is probably the nearest approach to Utopia to be found anywhere on earth.

people to have guillotine parties on public square.
 There is doubtless great unrest in the empire, yet there is nothing to warrant the belief that anything like an uprising is imminent. The Ger mans are not riotous, except when they are hungry, and they are the last nation on earth to have political rev olution. It is far more likely that they are waiting in dumb misery to hear their fate. They know they are de- feated and they are doubtless more intent on learning what is to become of them than they are about taking vengeance on the leaders who have brought them to such woeful pass.
 Here and there German newspaper gives some inkling of the situation. "We are beaten" are the words most often spoken in Germany today. They mean shattered dreams of empire, hu- initiation and a dubious future. Unlike Austria, glad to get out of the war OH any terms, Germany views the wreck of all her hopes. It is not improbable that gloom and depression, coupled with some anxiety as to the penalties which will be exacted for the German governments misdeeds, have left the bulk of the population in a state of profound melancholy, in which the of the Kaiser and the banal- ities of the crown prince are things of little moment.

 Otto Won Bismarcks spirit, if it can take cognizance of the proceedings of the great wars final phase, must be shocked by the fact that at Versailles is now in session council of nations deliberating upon the fate of Ger many For it was at Versailles, the ancient home of the kings of France. that Bismarck made King William of Prussia Emperor of Germany and pro- claimed the consolidation of the Ger man states into a formidable organiza- tion.

It had been bowling alley, but King Edward had thought it would be more useful and ornamental as a place of study and reflection, and he made the change. Then the King led the way to Sandringham chapel. wonderful little house of worship. with many appropriats decorations and memorials. Then he took them back to his reception room, where he and the royal group bade good-by to all their guests, shaking hands with each in turn.
