10 the Presence of the Great Realities

It seems long time since that sultry
evening of August when the news was
flashed over the cables that Germany bad
declared war on Great Britain and that

many. This meant the end OF negotia-
tions, and the prospect Of them. 1t
meant that the struggle which bad been
for some days in brewing would assume
proportions without precedent In human
history. 1t meant that the titans were
unloOsed.
And yet, huge - appeared the battle
then In forming, the best OF us had no
perception of its ultimate dimensions.
What the abiding profit Of our de-
mocraoy had said in 1894, in reviewing
the conflict then ending, applied with
redoubled force then. We, too, and
each OF the combatants looked for an
easier triumph and for . result lees
fundamental and astounding. With most
OF us, even ct that time, the triumph OF
the Allies would have been our triumph.
Germany's running roughshod over
Belgium, and striking at the heart OF
poor France; Germany's refusal to con-
slider the possibility Of delay or OF arbi-
tration; her insistence on the mailed fist,
taken in connection with her long record
10 the international tribunals Of tho
world of contempt for the world court
idea, and Of insistenoe on the power OF
might and the sanotity of the sword
these ell lost for her tho friendship OF all

apeople we were never "neutral In

The long story followed: There. WAS
the Lusitsnis. There was presidential
campaign, fought on tbis war issue, but
without any clearly defined lines of In.
depreciation. And there was our final
getting into the combat. our slow start
and our effective finish. For We turned
the scale. We converted On Allied de.
feat into an Allied victory. Aod the
great civilization of Germany, with its
matcbless efficiency; now goes down. In
collapse and dishonor. Its contribution
to the worlds peaceful progress has suf.
fered arrest, II not oblNeration. Ger.
many,s idea Of might has failed. Her
sapctimonious partnership with God in
the assertion Of Teutonio world do
minion has received its quletus. Those
who rushed to take the sword have
perished by the sword. ~

The appointment of DR.. Bishop as

here. 1t will be continued under his
personal supervision with an expert
construction foreman in charge of the
construction of septic tanks, sanitary
closets and other improvements. Dr..
Bishop will conduct the school ard
public clinics as usual.
Appropriations have been made
quarterly by the county court to be1r
a part of the cost of this work, but
no part of the county appropriations
have been applied to the salary of DR..
Bishop. who is employed directly by
the state board of health and whose
salary is paid by the state health de-
partment regardless of where he
works. The other costs of the sanita-
ton work have been borne Jointly
by the state and the county. All of
the county appropriations have been
devoted to the employment of labor.
Despite the abnormal conditions
created by the war and the shortage
of physicians, the public health work
in the state and in Maury county will
