issue of the three and one.haf per cent
war bonds went above par on the New
York Stock Exchange last week, when
a block of $lOO, 900 was sold at 1OO.O2. The
patriot who yearns for self-abnegation will
have to adopt a different channel of
activity from that involving business with
Uncle Sam. The bond purchaser is
partner in a winning concern.
What a fine prosperous business is car

exemplified by the fact that these first
"three and a half per cents" are the only
war bonds in the world now selling for
more than their original purchase price.
When the next loan comes arourd in

TNHE huge failure of German propaganda
L in America daily assumes increased pro-
portions. Following it's collapse in the ter
ritory of the United States, the Latin Re-
publics furnished the chief stamping
ground for ambitious though futile in

naught. The latest disaster is recorded in
Colombia, where the strongly anti-Hun
candidate Marco Fidel Suarez, has just
been overwhelmingly elected.
r This news from Bogota is highly stimu-
lating. Ever since the Panama revolution
Colombia has nursed her grudge against
us. Germany diligently labored to feed it
fat. Her commercial exploiters her secret
agents and official representatives avaled
themselves OF all possible chances to in.

which though weak was proud. But the

MOBILIZINC "OLD PROBS"

'TNHE jubilant English correspondent who
= wrote from Belgrade at the opening Of
what was to have been Austrias little
war with Serbia" I'VE are having glorious
weather" inspired many a good laugh
among newspaper readers. In view of the
magnitude of subsequent events, the OBJ
servation seemed ludicrously trivial. And
yet, though the eXultant journalist was,
possibly naive rather than prescicnt, his
meteorological reference was of real i'm.
port.
Weather, indeed has played a role of
marked significance throughout the war.
Weather conditions. sometimes too much
rain, sometimes too much sunlight have
often had an unhappy effect on the plans
of the Allies. For a long time it seemed
as though Germany had a much clearer
idea than her foes of what made good
fighting days" Low visibility" was
signal handicap to Britain in the Jutland
naval battle and the Hun made the most
of his advantage.

payne and the Vosges" can help a whole
lot if he be properly equipped and the
general staff take his tips.
Weather topics are no longer merely con.
versational reserves They have been en-
listed under the head of essential war
subjects. And when one thinks it over
it isn't bit odder to mobilize "Old Probs"
than to summon canary birds, as Per-
shing did, to test the potency of poison
gases.
1t behooves us therefore to respect the
weather man. Presumably he was con.
suited on the Amiens front. since the
fighting is said to have been conducted
under conditions wholly favorable to our
side. Furthermore, the silver lining in the
war clouds makes an inspiring picture

THE PLIGHT OF SPAIN

HlHE spectacle Of proud Spain seeking to
i quell German madness by a lombard
ment of official notes is distinctly sadden-
ing. 1t is also suggestive of the fate of
any nation which. pledged to the gospel
of military dominance. eventually suffers
disiIlusion. Having had their fill of wars
of conquest, having seen all their fruits,
both in Europe and the Americas, wither
away, the Spanish people is now averse
sven to lifting a sword for the right.
Civilizations attitude on the scene should
be sympathetic rather than fatty con,
demnatory. The former mistress of the
world is weary of arms. Peace since the
Cuban war has brought her many bless
ings. She seeks to preserve them and is
rewarded with Hun insults. 1t is possible
however, that the outrage against the
Steamship Larrinaga. which was recsntly
destroyed with the loss of eight lives, may
drive Premier Dato to some action moro
drastic than the dispatch OF verbiage. II
The break does not come, her cup Of humil'

THE HARVEST

TNFiE Germans have been encouraging
themselves by reports that the Ameri-
can harvest was deplorably poor. Accord
ing to Berlin, we have all starved long
ago.
What are the facts? The Bureau OF
Crop Estimates of the Department of
Agriculture reports that the Pennsylvania
crops of oats, barley, rye and buckwheat
are all above the average. Corn is some
what below average and the potato yield
Is disappointing. 1t should be added that
the tobacco crop is above the normal and
probably wheat also Tobacco is almost
as much a fighting staple as any of our
food products.
The weather this summer has been
abnormal. Long spells of cold and drought,
followed by the recent sudden and
extraordinary heat. are not good growing
weather. Yet there is no reason for
despondency, and those who are wise in
these matters have assured the public that
with proper restraint and economy there
will be no shortages, either for us or our
allies.
II Berlin tells you you are hungry,
don't believe it.

CAMPHOR BALLS
The Triumphs Of German Science

,DROFESSOR LANGLEBEN had devoted
the best years Of his youth to studying
the methods by which human life might be
prolonged. He was convinced that for In.
tellgent people to die at seventy or there
abouts was simply pusilanimous. Ger
mans particularly. he thought. ought to
live longer because the world needs them
so.
In years of laboratory research Profess
sor Langleben had learned that the longest
lived men on earth were the cannibals OF
New Guinea. By using the blood OF these
unsuspecting natives he devised a serum
which, when injected into men of pure
Teuton race, caused them to live 7.036
years longer Ton the averaGe) than they
otherwise would have done. To be sure,
some of the cannibals died during his ex-
periments, but this fact was not included
in the published data for which the pro.
fessors Nobel Prize was conferred. His
book The Postponement of Senescence'
was the scientific best seller of the year
Stimulated BY the success of his expert
ments. Professor Langleben labored early
and late. Presently he was able to an
nounce that the observation Of certain
formulae as to diet and exercise would pre-
vent hardening of the arteries and make
jazz dancing possible for great.grand-
parents He confidently asserted that no
educated man or woman need die under
ninety.
The professor passed away very sud-
denly of overwork at the age of forty-one.
He was cremated, and all the leading
scientists of Germany followed the urn to
its safe deposit vault.
