who have volunteered to come in for a
day or two at time and do the car
penter work on the building.
Mr.. Hardy predicts that much work
toward the success OF the exhibition
will be done between now and Nov

spite of the epidemic of influenza
which has slowed up all plans for The

President Hardy has issued an ap-
peal to the people of Escambia county
for more funds to guarantee the sue
cess OF the fair, and hopes that the
response will .be immediate. One rea-
son for wanting the show to be sue
cess is that it is intended to take the
exhibits to Jacksonville to the state

many visitors. among whom will be

Gegmanys hard pressed soldiers
are given no rest as the allies con-
taue with success their drives in
important sectors from north of VAL
eGciennes, east to the MeuSe.
Meanwhile the Italians are pushing
ahead in the region Of Montegrapha..

While the British, French and Am
ericans are slowly breaking their
way through the stubborn German de-
tense along the line south of Valen-
ciennes, the attention of the allied
worlds directed, for the moment. at
least, to the Italian front, where Gen
e-aI Diaz seems to have started a
major operation.
Fighting on a large scale appears
TO have begun on Thursday, when the
Austrian official statement reported
heavy artillery fire from the Brenta
river to the MontelIo plateau. 1t was
reported yesterday that Italian, Bri-
C.sh and French forces attacked be-
tween the Brenta and Piave rivers
and advanced over rough country for
a considerable distance. At the same
time the allies moved ahead and cap
tured islands in the Piave above the
Afontelo plateau.
This stroke was aimed at the angle
in the Austrian line which runs from
the Adriatic along the Piave until ii
reaches the mountains and then turns
to the west. If the allied attack
makes material progress the Austrian
armies on the lowlands near the sea
and those holding the front in the
mountainous sector may be divided.

PROTECTION FOR DYE INDUSTRY.

That the United States tariff commission is
taking a practical view of an important new
American industry is shown by it's inquiry
about the use Of dyestutfs in textile manufac-
turing plants. 1t is significant that, after the
investigators had obtained first-hand informa-
ton concerning all phases of the situation,
they c~omplimented the men responsible for the
rapid development of the industry here since
the beginning of the war. Their inquiry COW
cred not only the quantities of dyes used IN
this country when most OF the supplies were
Imported, and the effect of the sudden inter
ruption of import trade when German ports
were closed, but the need of protection for
American manufacturers.
There will be keen interest in the commits
sion's report on the last feature Of its inquiry.
While the war lasts there probably Will be
little occasion for changes in the dyestuffs
schedule of the tariff law, where the duties are
low. But no one knows how sharp foreign
competition may be after the war is over, and
the commission has done well in making It's
investigation early, so as to be prepared to give
any information desired by congress or the
president.
That German manufacturers OF dyes Will try
to regain their trade in this country seems al
together probable. Their failure will be as
'sured if the government does its. duty IN the
matter of protection for the American industry.
It is fortunate for the dyemakers here that the
tariff board has acquired a great fund OF mfor-
nation bearing upon the practical questions
which will arise when congress takes up the
work of revising the dye schedules. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that Germany's
American trade in dyes was extremely proft-
able before the war. Now the American de
Inland is met by home manufacturers, and there
will be no return to the former conditions.

INDICTMENT OF DYNAsT1c SYSTEMS.

The world is indebted to Professor David
IStarr Jordan for an analytic Indictment OF
dynastic systems and their responsibility for
most of the wars-this one included-which
have ravaged the earth. The dynastic system
lis the taproot of war. Professor Jordan shows
that it rests on blood, treachery and supersti-
ton. Broken treaties, ruthless invasions, a ser
pentine diplomatic service, permeating in
%trigues, enslavement, rapine, devastation, are
its weapons and it's work. Being neither self
chosen through their own innate power nor
elected by the people, the dynastic systems OF
today are forced to claim for themselves a
divine origin. On this they erect a theory Of
a supreme state which lies beyond the reach
of morals and can do no wrong. They call phi
Ilosophv and a state church to their aid in en-
forcing on society the three collective duties,
service. conformity and efficiency; and on the
individual the three personal duties Of being
a soldier, paving taxes and keeping his mouth
shut. In contradistinction to their system with
its cutthroat diplomacy and the transparent
sham of it's divine-right claim, is the democratic
state which is the cooperative organization OF
free men for mutual welfare. The nations with
dvnastic systems claim to stand in the van
guard of progress and that it is their right and
duty to subdue, enslave or eradicate others.
But nothing enduring was ever wrought by
force. The cement which holds nations to-
gether is not power but good will. Empires
have fallen and will fall, for they rest on
crumbling foundations. But no nation ever
failed through excess of brotherly love; and
throughout nature there is no bounty on the
heads of wolves, hawks, hyenas, Caesars, Alex
anders. moeuls or vandals of whatever race or
kind.

GOODS HAND IN HISTORY"

In reply to a message Of congratulatlon from
the vice president of the reichstag over the
signing of the Russian peace, the kaiser said:
1.-The complete victory fills me with gratitude.
1t permits us to live again one Of those great
moment in which we can reverently admire
Gods hand in history.'
More reverence would have been shown
towards God by not associating Him with a
crime like that Of which Russia has been the
victim. After having been betrayed by men
Who call themselves Russians she has been
ravaged and plundered by an invading German
army. 1t seems as if the kaiser had ordered
the slaves of his autocratic will to treat Russia
as a corpse whose wealth should be torn from
its mangled remains.
And it is in an Infamous deed of this sort
that Wilhelm sees 1.-THE hand of God.'
To say that God condones colossal crimes is
simply blasphemy, but to assume that a just
Providence will in the end punish the guilty
may be permitted even by a religion which has
e%njoined men to love their enemies.
