Prussia's Three Wars.

For q generation or two Europe
was at peace. It was too weak. to
fight. When it had to some extent
recuperated Prussia decided that the
time had. come to renew its career Of
conquest, and on January p, 1864, de-
clared war against Denmark. Un-
able to put up an effective resistance
against its stronger neighbor, Dem
mark was forced to sue for peace and
ceded the provinces OF Schleswtg and
Holstein 10 the conQueror. The war
sia acquired two valuable North Sea
ports, which was the goal for which
she started out.
On June 1s. 1856. Prussia declared
war against Austria with the idea of
success OF her armies against the
larger but less warlfke empire was SO
pronounced that in fifteen days the
war was practically over and Prussia
confiscated the large provinces Of
Hanover and Bavaria and several
lesser provinces.
Prussia had now added territory to
tie size of her original kingdom. and
the great Bismarck at once set about
consolidating" his gains, as we say
nowadays.
When conditions were ripe for a re-
sumption of the program. a war was
provoked with Napoleon III Of France.

neuvered that 1t was the French who
declared war. although they were i'll
prepared to wage it against such a

crazed adversary as Prussia. War was
declared on July II. 1870. Forty-seven
days later, on September 2. the deci-
sive battle was fought, the main
French army and the Emperor Of
France himself being surrounded at
Sedan and forced to surrender. The
price France paid for being in the
way of Prussia's steam roller was the
loss Of Alsace and Lorraine and an in
demnity of $1,000. 100000.

Opposition to Disarmament.


When the kaiser's ambitious project
to dominate the world IL considered his
consistent opposition to the universal
disarmament proposals 10 easily under
stood. without superior army and
navy. his whole plan would have to be
abandoned and his dream of world
dominion would be shattered.
On one occasion when we were dis
cussing the Carnegie peace efforts, the
kaiser disclosed very positively Just
where he stood on the proposition.
Look at the history Of the nations OF
the world" he declared. 'The only ma
|.tions which have progressed and be-
come great have been warring nations.
Those which have not been ambitious
and gone to war have amounted to
nothinE!"
shortly after Wilson had pointed the
way to peace in Europe in one OF his
notes to all the belligerent powers the
kaiser. called to see me professionally
and we discussed that latest phase OF
'aThe way to peace now seems per-
fectly clear. I veStured. "Only your
majesty's eyer-iGcreasing army and
navy stand in the way. II Germany
will give UP her armament, 1t seems,
we would soon have peace.
''That Is. out OF the question for Ger
many" replied the kaiser, dectstvely.
'sWe have no mountains like the Pyre-
pees to protect us We have the open
plains of Russia with their vast hordes
endangering US. No: we shall remain
armed to the teeth forever."

CHAPTER 4.
The Kaiser's Plan for World
Dominion.

The history of modern Germany Is.
perhaps. in itself SUFFICIENT indica-
ton Of the underlying plan of the
Teuton war barons to control the
whole of Europe. and, eventually. the
world. The program has been slowly
unfolding itself since the time of
Frederick the Great and the present
generation is now witnessing what
was intended to be the climax.
The long succession Of wars initiated
by Frederick the Great from 1740 to
1856 resulted in the annexation of
silesia to the small kingdom of Prus-
sia, and satisfied that monarch for
the time being. although his military
leaders,. flushed with victory. urged
him to continue his reign Of conquest.
For a while the military spirit in
Prussia slumbered. and when it was
aroused by Napoleon's
dream of world-conquest. England
and Prussia had to unite against that
leader to retain their own
dominions. =.

Wanted to Use Turkey.

To that end he had sent German
officers to train the Turkish army and
had supplied them with guns and mar
nftions. with an eye to the future,
too, he had constructed the great
Bagdadi railway.
When the Balkan war broke out in
1912 the kaiser had great conndence
that the German-trained Turkish
army would acQuft itself creditaoiy
and that in the outcome OF that con-
make considerable progress. He told
me that he had map of the war area
placed in his motor, and that with

Preparing for a Great War.

Since 1870 Germany has. been, con-

with the one object of assauging her
thirst for dominion when. the proper
time should come. It came, Germany
on June .29. 1914. when the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria,
the successor to the Austrian throne,
and his wife were murdered at: Sara

suit. -
This war. it was confidently expect-

SEVERE BREAK COTTON IN THE
 N. Y. MARKET
Close at New York is at Lowest. a Net Decline of 134 to 175 POintS-Wall Street and the South Were Sellers.

New York, Nov 12.-The first day of trading since the signing of the armistice was marked by very se- we're break in the cotton market for the first time since the rule was pass ed by the board of managers placing limit of 200 points on daily fiuctua- tions. The market remained weak. showing a net decline of 134 to 175 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 2l to 60 points on covering and scattered buying, which was evi- dently inspired by enthusiasm over the peace news. Offerings immediate ly increased, with Wall street and the South sellers and the decline was ac- companied by rumors that foreign governments had withdrawn their buying orders. These rumors were not confirmed, but tht% evidently add ed to the nervousness of sentiment. while there were very few buyers around the ring, and it did not require large offerings to depress prices.
 There were conflicting reports from Washington regarding the probable action of price-fiXing committees, which are now considering the sche- dule of goods prices to takeeffect No vember l6, some claiming that there would be no change, while others seemed to be looking for decline Notwithstanding the Southern selling here, local spot brokers said they heard of no weakness among interior holders, who still anticipated gradual improvement in the export move ment.

DON'T BE AVERAGE" MAN

Young people must make them selves efficient and handle their earn lngs properly during their productive years if they are to escape the com mon lot of being dependent in old age.
 The life insurance companies have compiled figures which abundantlv de monstrate these facts. Give sober consideration to this digest of life ex- periences of ont hundred average men At the age of siXty-five the record of these men are as follows: thirty-five are dead, one rich, four wealthy. six are self supporting but are com pelled to work for a living, fifty-four. or over half the number are depend ent on children, relatives. or charity. This is a sad state of affairs and only can be remedied by getting the pro- per kind of business training in youth.
 The average educated man gets a salary of $2,000 a year. He works fcrty years, making a total of $8O. .0O0 in life time. The average day la borer gets $500 per day, three hun dred days in the year, or $900 a year In forty years he earns S36.00O. The difference. $44,000 equals the finan- cial value of an education To ac- quire this earning capacity requires about five months time or one hun dred and fifty days in the Tyler Com mercial College.

EASTER FESTIVALS
IN SPANISH CITIES
Fontarabia Always Gay With
PROFESSIONS and Festivities
Gorgeous Celebrations in Sc
vile the Order for Centuries.

HPAIN, lying at peace in the heart
of war, need not be disturbed in
~ the celebrating of holy week, and
so will continue to be first among
the nations honOring Christ in realistic
ceremonial. The little town of FOn-
tarabia, stones throw from French
soil, is almost as old as the present
government of Spain. Religion and
war have been the greatest forces in
it's ancient streets, and a fortress with
many battles to it's credit yet guards
the quiet people whose greatest time
of the year is that which is close upon
Easter Sunday.
Professions are the chief feature,
and the images of Christ and the
saints, which figure in these process
siOns, are the treasures of the small
city. The gay city of Seville has the
most gorgeous celebration of Easter
perhaps in the world in the matter of
symbolic ceremonies in the streets,
and as the most beloved city of the
Spaniards it's practices have had a
wonderful influence over the little
towns, so many Of which nestle against
the mountains or sun themselves along
the sea.
Rome, Petrograd and Venice have
caught the ear of the world with the
music of their services during the
week of the Passion, but in the COM
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
with which the little towns of the
Spanish peninsula go about observing
Easter there is no superseding. The
images of st. Anne, the mother Of the
Virgin; of Mary Magdalene, and the
Savior are the most popular and the
most revered, and those which are
most adored in the procession. The
figure of the Christ in Fontarabia is
very old.
Poland and her Faster feasts are
heralded widely. BLESSING the FOOD
at Easter time is fully as ancient a
custom and is more familiar. 1t is
now spoken Of. as purely Slavic
feature. In the houses of the prosper
Gus, before the war. the tables fairly
groaned with viands for the Easter
dinner that followed close upon many
/ days of very abstemious fasting. Be
fore the meal was prepared in any
household. great or small. the food was
brought in baskets TO the churches,
where priests sprinkled it with holy
water and gave it their blessing. A
lamb cooked whole formed the center
piece of the table. as much as a goose
in Germany or turkey in the United
| States at Christmas dinner.
