Must Purchase European Goods.

The economic effect upon America of
the reconstruction of Europe is pretty
sure to be great immediate prosperity.
Europe's indebtedness to this country
will heavily increase because for time
Europe will be short of goods with which
to pay us and must get credit. On the
other hand, as the British minister of re-
construction points out American ex
ports to Europe must eventually suffer
losses unless, by buying more foreign
goods and securities, Americans enable
the Europeans to pay for their purchases
on this side of the ocean. The Euro
peans can pay their debts and become
prosperous again only as they produce
and export; this means literally, so far
as we are concerned an exchange of com
modities and break away from the old
American protectionist dogma that the
country must import as little as pos
sible We cannot very well remain a
creditor nation and discourage an ex-
change of products with foreign coun-
tries at the same time
As we get closer to the vast process of
economic readjustments after the war, it
becomes clearer that prices of coinmodi-
ties are gong still higher and that for
eign demands upon our capital will
skmp our supply of capital for home
uses. Interest rates are in for rather
long period of high levels, just as com
modify prices are. Average commodity
prices are constantly rising; for many
weeks the index number has steadily
moved upward We shall not get a
cheaper loaf, although the United States
will harvest the largest wheat crop in its
history 1t is thought, indeed, that the
minimum price of wheat per bushel now
guaranteed by the government is already
under the price level that would be es-
tabished by supply and demand in a
free market. In a great variety of ways
rising prices will complicate home condi.
tions With prices, wages must go up,
and the chase around the vicious circle

The Earth as a Sphere.

Dr. William f. Warren, president
emeritus of Boston university, in late,
number of the Classical journal gives
fresh evidence for the view so long advo-l
Gated by him that man from the earliest
times has had the conception of the
earth as sphere. He reviews the myth
ical geography of the East Aryans, show
ing that they looked upon the earth as
sphere, and considers what light this
East Aryan geography throws upon the
wanderings of 10 as described by Esehy-
lus in his Prometheus Bound, and upon
TIC geographic ideas of prehistoric
Greeks a
The conclusion is that this old myth.
as POLITICALLY retold by Eschylus reveals
conception of the earth identical with.
the spherical idea of the East Aryans..
DIR. Warren has given us vigorous piece
of criticism in this paper, succeeding in
making clear the journey of 10 which so.

promise they saw of new world. Like
children they fed upon the vision of a
peace table, around which should gather
ness of mind, bent upon interpreting
Christ and His will for the world. To-
day these same liberals are saying hard
things about the morals of diplomacy.
They were fed upon false hopes; they
have awakened to disillusionment. Ii
was perhaps nobody's fault that the vis-
ion of that new world and the phrasing
of it by Mr.. Wilson aroused hopes that
could not be written into deeds. Be that
as it may, these men feel that they were
deceived. They are saying Never
statesmen of the world" Sentiments
and phrases which they acclaimed with
tears of joy six months ago they hiss to-
day. They were told that this war would
end war, that peace would leave no gap
ing wounds of bitterness and hate, and
that the brotherhood of plain men
throughout the world would write in
Paris the constitution of new kingdom.
1t has brought no solace to these disap-
pointed men that those who prophesied
these smooth things are trying now to
make the worse seem the better. It
would be better should they say in grave
sincerity, 1--WE saw the vision, but we
could not lead you into the promised
land The moral tragedy of the year
1919 is this great establishment. Its
consequence no man can measure.-From

CURRENT COMMENT
Will Decide on the Merits.

America is not going to tarnish its
own magnificent achievements in the
war, unless we greatly mistake the tenn
per Of the people, by Sinking its respon-
sibilities or by declining to do its full
share of the work of restoring and
Strengthening the civilization it helped
to save. Our period of national isolation,
so necessary in the beginning, is long
past. The national vision covers the
whole earth, and we can no more with
draw from participation with the other
free governments in holding the ground
that has been gained at SO appalling a
cost of blood and treasure than we can
refuse to share with them the blessings
of the new political, economic and

The Moral Tragedy Of 1910.

One Of the New York dailies recently
published what it called balance sheet
of the war. On the debit side it placed
killed, 100000; crippled, 20000,000;
homes destroyed, l000,000 money lost,
100000 100000; anarchic conditions over
one-half of Europe and with difficulty
kept out of the remainder We cannot
verify those figures, but all men know
that they do not measure the physical
and spiritual losses of this war The ca
bles have not been permitted to tell one
tenth the story of the anguish across
the seas. Typhus is hanging low over
eastern Europe. India, stripped of her
grain to feed the nav of Europe's war,
is starving. Russia is a nightmare. Not
only have the bodies of millions been
broken on the wheel of Mars, property
beyond computing been destroyed, the
flower of youth and genius hurled into
the pit, with famine and disease stalk
ing the land, but the soul of the race
has been SCARED by wounds which the
treaty of peace cannot heal. In all our
moral appraisals of this war we must
not forget to take into account the post
bellum mind. That men and women
throughout Europe to-day are stricken
with fear, panicky with dread of name
less things, ready, like haunted beings,
to clutch at weapons for self defense is
no surprise TO students of morbid psy-
chology The soul of the race is sick.
War has done this. Those who made
this war cannot compute by statistics
of casualties and property loss the desc
Grafton, the sin they have done against
the soul of the race. Europe is half
crazed. Is it strange that even the hard
est, the most cynical can find no heart
for jubilation over peace? Even Paris,
so quick to turn from tears to merri-
ment. has lost her laughter.
1t seems cruel that, after the war was
won, even the manner of writing the
terms OF peace should have added an
other disaster. Liberals, radicals through
out the world to-day are in a cynical.

most anxious hours of the war, the great
company of forward looking men were

CABOT
In Memoriarn.

Mrs Seraphine Crosby Wiswell died
June II, at the age of So years. She
was born Jan. 2, 1888, at East Hard
wick. In 1856, she was united in mar
riage to DR.. S. L. Wiswell of North Hyde
Park. In 1861, they came to Cabot,
where she has since lived.
Mrs. Wiswell was interested in all the
questions of the day. She was a very
interested member and worker in the w.
C, T. IT,, being county treasurer for many
years. She had been faithful member
of the Congregational church for 20
years. She was the oldest woman in
town and was much respected by large
circle of friends.
She is survived by daughter, Mrs.
Gertrude Wells, and two granddaughter,
Misses Marjorie and Esther, to whom
sympathy is extended at this time.
Funeral services were held at her late
home and interment was in the family
lot in the Cabot cemetery.

The Soldier Employee.

Reports made by field representatives
Of government agencies working to bring
the job and the returned soldier, sailor
and marine together indicate that EN-
ployers who have been watching the per
Torrance of service people are pleased
with the result, They find the service
man, once he has settled down TO his job
again, much more valuable than he was
when he went away. In most cases, he
has, of course, profited in general way
by the maturity of his judgment, due
entirely to the fact that he is a year or
two older, but he is reported as i'm
proved in qualities that could have been
gained only by war experience
Due allowance must be made, however,
for the change in the nature Of the
service man. He has been living I'M
der highly specialized conditions where
rules are laid down governing almost
every phase of his conduct. He has
learned that only by shaping his life to
meet these requirements could he be-
come a useful element in an organized
fighting machine. He has thus tasted
at once of the advantages and disadvan-
tages from his personal point of view
of discipline, He returns to civil life
obliged to provide his own food, cloth
ing and shelter, but convinced perhaps
unconsciously-that he has good work
ing knowledge of the possibilities Of or
ganized effort
Employers who have capitalized this
trait in service people, who have toler-
ated a certain air Of exuberanee, and in
turn commanded tolerant attitude on
the part of the ex-service employee have

NEVER EXPECTS
 ID BE WITHOUT II
There's Nothing as Good as TanIac,' Says Portland Man;
 Gains Twenty-Five Pounds

"In all my long experience I have {, never found anything as good as Tanlac when it comes to relieving suffering" said J. A. Neisz, well known employe of the Pacific Car and Foundry Co., and who lives at IA | East 56th St., North Portland, Ore, the other day.
 My troubles began about three years ago." continued Mr. Neisz, "and II have been having tough time of it ever since-that is, until I com menced taking Tanlac. I had rheu- matism in my arms and back and suffered almost constantly during all that time. Of course there were !, times when this trouble was worse ' than at others, but 1 can truthfully say that there was hardly ever time when I was not conscious of pain to some extent. My arms were so stiff and sore at times that 1 couldn't raise my hands to my head. Besides what I spent for treatment and medi- . cine, the time 1 lost from my work on account of this rheumatism amounted to over four hundred dol lars in salary. 1 couldn't sleep much and just gradually went down hill ,un- til had lost in weight from one hun dred and thirty-five to one hundred and ten pounds, and was so weak and run down that I could hardly get about at all
 "A friend of mine who had been suffering from this same kind os trouble, told me that Tanlac was the only thing that had ever done him any good, and advised me to give it trial. Well, to make a long story short, I have just finished my sixth bottle of Tanlac, and I am as free from suffering every way, and am as well and strong as 1 ever was in my . life. I weigh. one hundred and thirty five pounds now, which means that I have gotten back all I lost in weight I have regained all my strength and can do as much work as 1 could if teen years ago. All that soreness and stiffness has gone from my arms and I can raise my hands above my head without the least trouble. Yes, sir. Tanlac has been ,godsend to me, and 1 never lose an opportunity ito recommend it to others. am buying another bottle to take nome with me today, for never expect to be without it."
