DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WAR AND PEACE

Eight of the larger appropriation
bills which remained when the earlier
congress closed on March 4 were
passed during the first period of the
present session of congress. With
the passage of the bills that had been
left over appropriations for expendl-
lures in the twelve months beginning
July l exceeded 6,O00,O00,O00. or
this aggregate $3,000,O00,00O were in
the regular annual supply bills and
the remainder was for such purposes
as the guaranty on the price of wheat
and interest on the public debt. In
the prior year the regular appropria-
ton bills carried $4,000, OoO, 900; this
amount was augmented by funds to
meet the deficiencies, and the expen-
ditures in the twelve months that
ended in June were actually $lS,-

Early Action to
End Railway Wage
Dispute Forecast

Washington, Aug, 20.-Early &C
ton to settle unrest in the ranks OF
the railroad employees who have been
demanding new wage increases was
forecast today.
After lengthy conference with
the representatives of the six shop
crafts, Director General Hines went
to the White House to discuss with
President Wilson the problems fac
ing the railroad administration. While
no announcement was made, it was
understood that the entire question
was reviewed, including the obvious
necessity for an increase in rates or
another congressional appropriation
to provide for any wage advance that
may be made, since the administration
has been mourning deficit every
month this year due to the falling Oft
in business and the higher cost OF la
Dor and materials.
Mr.. Hines promised the shopmen' S
leaders that he would give careful
consideration to all the facts present
ed and would endeavor to reach a
final decision in the near future.

Deny Former Kaiser
Is in Bad Health

Amerongen, Aug. 21.-Recent re-
ports from Germany and other places
have gwen rise to the belief that the
former German emperor is serious
" sick-suffering from general
breakdown as result of worry.
The correspondent, who has seen
the former monarch nearly every day
since the armistice was signed, is in
a position to state that the one time
war lord is in no sense of the word
a broken man. His general health is
excellent and his body is kept in good
condition by his daily three hours Of
wood saving.
DR.. Carl Forester, the former en-
peror's body physician, declares the
former ruler is remarkably healthy,
both physically and mentally.

in the bright sunlight we saw an an
gel coming toward us, walking as

bon over it, and in one had she had
basket of doughnuts. In the other
a bucket of coffee. Every man there

And when we finally got her into the

crazy? What did you mean?' She
said, MY brother was in that second
outfit, and he couldn't rest happy in
his grave if he thought you boys
were hungry Then she said, Now
wait minute. Don't rush. l haven't
enough to go around, but | will go
back after some more The boys
said, No you won't. Give it to the
others. We are not hungry But
she insisted on dividing the dough-
nuts with the boys. She took the
doughnuts in her hands and broke
them apart, and the very touch of
her hands seem to coat them with
sugar. She asked how the boys
liked them-if they thought they
were good. Good? There never was
anything tasted better than those
doughnuts!' She seemed happy when
she said, I am so glad you like them
for l made them for you myself, and
not only made them but fried them

DISPARITY IN EARNING w

The prize fighters mean to keep up war prices Tor a time,
at least. Before they will sign a contract to go into a ring Their
demands must be met, and these demands are truly eXorbitant.
Georges Carpenter, the heavyweight French champion,
refused an offer OF 10000 francs to come to America, and is
holding out for 100000 francs, or 100000, Jess Willard, whose
duty it is to defend his championship title, insisted on 100000
as his end of the purse before signing. One promoter has
undertaken to furnish the money. Jack Dempsey, who meets
him, and may whip him, is to receive $27I500. This is a large
price to pay for muscle and puts brains at a discount. The man
who has spent his youth and young manhood in college and uni
versity receives only a small fraction of these figures, and,
indeed, not NOR. than the wages of a day laborer, and only half
that received by a skilled mechanic during the war, Muscular
force commands more money at the present time than ever before
in the worlds history, and it is quite probable that cultured
education commands less. Scholarship is a drug on the market,
for which there is no demand. Possibly the supply is too great
The world has been spending its money and best energies on
education for years. 1t has been accessible to everyone, and
compulsory in some places. Education has come to be so uni
versal that it has become common if not vulgarized. About the
worst equipped mortal for the battle of life is the scholar who.
is nothing else. Unless he can drive a nail, saw a plank, fasten
on horseshoes or do some kind of mechanical work he is as
helpless as an infant, So widespread has cultural education
become that your barber or bootblack is apt to correct you if
you misquote a line from Virgil or Horace. The bruiser who
uses his fists to beat up an opponent is paid 100000 Tor an
hours engagement, while Milton received 500 for Paradise
Lost" and it is doubtful if he could sell it for anything today
Aeschylus did not receive as much for his "Trilogy" as a gas
filter can earn in a month.
The schools are beginning to appreciate this disparity, and
are turning to industrial training OF the young. With primordial
man muscle ruled. He had no education, and whose welded
the biggest club made himself king, The more ignorant a man
is the more he will strip, himself and, spend his substance to
educate his son, hoping and dreaming great things for him, but
really turning him into a world for which he is unfit, The fact
that Memphis school teachers are to receive more money for
their services is a hopeful sign. 1t shows that muscle and brute
force are not the only gods in our pantheon.
