HOTTEST PERIOD
 OF YEAR USUALLY . MIDDLE OF JULY

Just no years ago today, July 13. 1908, a perspiring Englishman met another P. B. in a London street, and the first P. E. said to the second P. E.: "Is it hot enough for you?"
 Whereupon, let us hope, the clench- ed fist of the second P. B. landed on the nose of the first P. E., and the lat CT stretched his perspiring length up- on the torrid soil
 Meteorological observatories were unknown in 1908, and the statements regarding the heat of that famous 'hot "Wednesday" may have been ex- aggerated, but it was doubtless the hottest day England has ever known.
 That Hot Wednesday" in England was hotter by several degrees than the "hot Tuesday" of 1790, which oc- cured in mid-July. Credible statis- tics show that the middle of July us- ually brings the hottest days of the year north of the equator. These extremely hot days" in England us- ually show a temperature of from make great fuss over these tempera- lures, they are gelid in comparison with some of the records established by Old Sol in Amercia, both North and South, and Africa.
 The highest temperature ever re- corded scientifically was a fraction over 124 degrees, taken in Algeria, on the edge of the desert, on July IT, 1879. America has come very near to the worlds record, however, and it is noteworthy that on this side of the Atlantic a majority of the hottest day" records have been established in mid-July.
 Yuma, Arizona, holds the dubious honor of being the hottest place or the map. Yuma's record is 120 de grees, which, all will agree, Is a bit warmish. Phoenix, in the same State closely approaches Yuma, with rec. a record of 115, established at Fres TO. Fl Paso, Texas, and Walla Wal la, Wash, have been wilted by 8 tenn perature of 113.
 In mid-July the tropics usually in wade several of the northwestern States, and the heat waves often ex tend as far north as the jumping of place" of Canadian civilization. A Miles City, Mont, and at Boise, Ida ho, the temperature has reached III end at Pierre, S. D., a temperature O. no has been recorded.

MAKING WAR PAY

The idea has been thoroughly drill- ed into the minds of the German peo- pie, that war is a paying proposition. Gradually they have been enlarging their boundaries and adding to the.x wealth by war. Fifty years ago they conquered Schleswig- -Holstein from Denmark. They defeated A@s.-ssa. and made her a subject state. A fex years later they conquered France, and stole Alsace-Lorraine.
 These wars have been profitable to the Germans. They extracted an enormous indemnity from France that largely paid the cost of the Franco German war. In taking Alsace-Lor- raine they got the most profitable iron mines in Europe. This was an enor- nous help to their commercial expan- sion, and it gave them an enormous amount of war material. The world will be at peace when Germany loses this supply of munition stuff.
 It has been very easy for the rulers of Germany to convince the German people that war pays So the army is exalted in Germany as the greatest of institutions. It is not an army for defence like ours. It is an army to make pirate raids on the property of other nations.
 The Germans have long been look ing to America for their next move. They want territory south of the equa- tor. They would have grabbed some down there years ago, had not other nations refused to sanction the pro- ceeding. If they were to win this war they would soon be looking for expansion in our hemisphere. This would conflict with our historic policy and our Monroe doctrine.
 It has always been our principle that European powers should secure no new territory on this side of the Atlantic. We should have to fight tos maintain that principle against Ger many. However, if we fight the war to the finish, we shall probably con vince Germany that American terri tory is sour grapes for which she does not care.

POLITICIANS OF JAPAN
 SEEKING PLACE IN SUN

There are two aspects of Chinese politics to which the foreign offices of Europe and America cannot be to- tally indifferent, says the Christian Sci ence Monitor. The first of these is the trend of national development in China itself, and the second the rela- tion of the republic to the active mon archy of Japan. The two questions are really inseparable, and this because on the internal development of China de- pends the great question as to wheth- CT it's destinies are to be directed by itself or by Japan. There can be no, question at all that Japan looks to China for it's own future field of de- velopment. When the Japanese talk of the necessity of finding swarming ground for their already overflowing population, they are however, indulg- ing somewhat generously in anticipa- ton. The population of Japan has not yet exactly reached the point when it has been driven into the sea, but the political intelligence of Japan has reached the point when it too is look l1lS 1O1 d p1dSO III L4lG o1II. Y OI lull~ ately for it the particular rays in which it is desirous of basking lie, to some extent at any rate, outside the sphere of the jealousies of the great western powers. If they had lit on the line of the Bagdad railway or the northern coast of Africa it would have been little different. But China has not yet been divided into spheres of influence, and to that extent Japan has a free hand.
 This does not, of course, mean that the west has exactly kept it's hands off China The Chinese coast is dot ted with concessions and treaty ports, all of which constitute so many resig- nations of national sovereignty. But the immediate and the real danger to Chinese integrity, as no people know better than the Chinese themselves, lies in Tokyo. It is not in the least probable, if Germany be except ed. that any of the other great powers will attempt to increase their posses sions at the expense of China. A sort of unwritten self-denying ordinance has been established between London anu w lOIl, anu IlS dIlu SlI O- grad, supposing Petrograd still to count, to this effect. .Germany's inn mediate future lies on the table of the peace conference when it is called. But Japan has succeeded in pursuing a course apart from, and often antago- nistic to, the intentions of the great powers of the West. For years past the Island Kingdom has been riveting it's grasp upon Manchuria by a pro- cess of peaceful permeation which, though it was first explained as the tu- telage of China, has long since become openly a policy of spoilation.
 Latterly, however, the intentions of Japan have become much plainer, and they have been illustrated by the pol icy arising out of the capture of Kia- chow. In November, 1897, the Ger mans seized this port, and in March
 of the following year obtained from China a 99-year lease of an enclave, formed on the east coast of Shantung, which gave them control of the port, town and district inclosed, as we'll as certain railway and mining rights. When the present war broke out, and Japan entered the ranks of the Allies
 an expedition was immediately sent

particularly necessary that local
women turn out the work as re
