 careful computation was made of the cost which the establishment of these new plants would bring to the company Probably no more exhaustive or per- fectly computed estimate was ever laid upon the desk of the late J.

As much as that was needed to establish new long distance and local telephones in the far west. But investors were in such a timid state of mind at that time that notwithstanding tempting terms it was deemed not advisable to undertake to place the offering.
 Later President Vail began with such means as he possessed to expand the tel ephone system and he also worked out to perfection certain plans whereby tele- phone and telegraph service could be admirably and conveniently put into CO., operation to the advantage of the entire people. There was no thought of mon- opoly President VaiIs purpose was to give better and nation-wide telephone service to the people, believing that this could cnly be done through co-ordina- tion and unification.
 Just then the department of justice at Washington stepped in. President Vail was told that he had already created monopoly. and that he must dslocate certain parts of his system. Regretfuily but without protest he accepted the dic- tum of the department of justice and abandoned his plans. Had he been per rnitted to carry out these plans the gov ernnent at this time would be greatly benefited, for upon the telephone and the telegraph, and perfect cooperation be- tween them. the government depends for expedition in much of the work it has undertaken.

LOVE Is A GREAT WORD

Love is a much-abused word. Ii is
confined too much to spring and to
the tender passion" which too often
is thought to be the beginning and
ending of love. 1t is the beginning,
but there should be no ending.
Love is beautiful, and when two
persons love each other, they cannot
form a trust and love only each other,
for if they do they will soon form a
distrust. The only way to love truly
is to love the world, and to love ones
neighbors. 1t is hard TO love our enc
mics, but if we can love them. we will
have no enemies. We cannot love one
person truly if we hate others.
Someone may hate us, but that
does not make him an enemy. The
enemy is in our own heart when we
hate people. If we continue to love
our enemy, he will be our friend. We
must not love for the sake of being
loved-that would leave our enemies
out but we must love for the joy it
brings us and others.
The thirteenth chapter of the First
Corinthians is a great love letter. and
was written by a man who had been
unjustly arrested, jailed and beaten.
1t says, And if | have the gift Of
prophecy, and know all mysteries and
all kowledge; and if 1 have all faith;
so as to remove mountains, but have
not love, / have nothing. Love suffer-
eth long and is kind; love envieth
not; love vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up" And so on through that
chapter, Paul tells of the wonders Of
love.
In world of many unlovely things,
it is quieting to sit down and read Of
love as Paul wrote about it to the peo-
pie of Corinth.

England Saves BY Rail Control

Correspondence Of the Associated Presa'
LONDON, Jan. 23.-British railways
which have been under state control
since the beginning Of the war. have
been operated through an executive
committee of general managers on
railways. The working under one con-
troll has resulted in many economies
and proved of great advantage to the
state. Under the original agreement
made with the companies they are
guaranteed the same net receipts as
for 1913. Afterward the companies
were given allowances in respect OF
new capital employed. Irish railways
did not come under state control TIL

HORSE FLESH AS FOOD

Like the intrepid savage eating his
first oyster. a score of Columbians
have overcome their prejudices and
eaten steaks and roasts from a To-
year-old horse which was recently
butchered by the College of Agricul-
ture of the University. They pro-
nounced the meat palatable. not deli
cious or merely edible, but palatable-
a sort of happy medium.
Even before the war many families
in Europe ate horse flesh. When the
war came with its attendant shortage
of food, many others took to this form
of meat. Markets for the sale OF
horse flesh were established and did
a fiourishing business. In the United
States the first market of this kind
was heralded over the rest of the
country. The movement started in
the larger cities of the East and has
gradually moved westward.
According to food experts, there is
no reason why horse flesh should not
be eaten. The difference in taste be-
tween it and beef can scarcely be de-
r.cted. and its food value is about as
high. The meat is as clean as beef
and infinitely cleaner than pork or
chicken. Yet the associations which
arise when one mentions horse flesh
have caused this food to be Stunned.
The less civilized peoples are not
troubled this way. The Arabs on the
desert, when they run out of other
food, kill their camels and eat steaks
from the humps. When they run out
of water, they get water from the
stomachs of their beasts of burden.
The aversion to horse flesh is prob
ably the result of the feeling that it
is unclean. The reason for the dis
taste is purely psychological. Eco
nomic necessity may change this
aversion, but until then horse flesh
will probably be looked upon with the
usual disfayOr

In four-minute address at the local
theaters last night. Prof. J. E. Wrench
of the history deartment of the Uni
versity said:
Germany has won the war if she
could make peace tomorrow. Do you
realize that the most important rea-
son for which Germany went to war
has been practically accomplished
Do you realize that the dream of her
most powerful statesmen for the last
twenty years has almsot come true?
Do you realize that the first step in
the pan-German idea which dominates
the ruler of Germany has been almost
gained?
I'VE Americans little understand
the philosophy of that dominant party
of Germany which believes in the
virtue Of force. They believe it be-
cause force has built the German En-
pire and because they feel that they
are the chosen people of God. They
believe in it because they feel that
through it they can control the earth
On it is based their pan-German plan
This plan is no idle fancy of the
moment excited by victories won over
little Belgium, Serbia and Rumania
and ungainly Russia. but the we'll
laid plan of experts. For twenty-three
years the inner circles of the ire
spOnsible German government has
schemed this first step in world
dominion. Today it is near fulfill

CHINA HAS UNIVERSITY CLUB
Good Fellowship Promoted Between
Americans and Natives.

Word has been received here by the
secretary of the Y. NJ. C. A. from w.
B. Pettus, a former student at the
University of Missouri, who is now d.
rector of the North China Union Ian
guage School at Pekin, China. Mr..
Pettus enclosed a clipping giving an
account of the American University
Club in China.
According to Mr.. Pettus, the Amer
lean University Club is composed Of
nearly three hundred graduates and
former students of American univer-
stiles. The membership is about
equally divided between Chinese grad
yates of American universities who
have returned home to China, and OF
Americans who are engaged in the
various business, educational, medical
and Missionary enterprises that Amer
leans are conducting in China.
The club was organized in 1908,
and the membership has grown steadi-
ly. The purpose of the club is to
stimulate a closer feeling of fellow
ship among the American college men
who are living in China, and also to
stimulate a closer fellowship between
the Americans and the Chinese, which
is so necessary to the future peace
and well-being of the Pacific.
There are nearly 1,200 Chinese
graduates and former students Of
American and European universities
now in China. There are 1000 Amer
leans now living in China. This club,
the clipping says, has done great
work in bringing the people Of the
two races closer together.
