THEN AND NOW.

President Wilson has extended an

United States and it is expected that
the Belgium rulers will come here in
September. 1t was twenty years ago

visit to this country. Albert was then

had Just finished cleaning up Spain
and cleaning her out of Cuba, where
under Weyler, an attempt was being
made to choke national aspiration out
OF the champions of Cuba Libre, and 1t
was common gossip among the chan
cellories OF Europe that once the
United States had assumed control of
Cuban affairs we would never let up
until we had reduced the island to the
status of an American colony. Eu-

have been made over into a self re-
specting. law abiding and orderly
country which deems itself ready to
take over the administration Of its
own affairs. The request of the Fill
pinos that they be accorded independ-
ence probably will be granted at an
early date.
There still remains to US the task
OF doing for Mexico what we have
done for Cuba and the Philippines.
That we shall ultimately do this seems
inevitable. Instead of rescuing our
southern neighbor from foreign domi-
nation. we must rescue her from the
forces Of anarchy and outlawry. It
would be well II the Belgium king
could find us engaged in the work
when he comes in September.

1t is estimated that the Huns are re-
sponsible for the destruction of $780,
600 buildings in northern France. This
number probably exceeds the total re-
sulting from all the great fires and
earthquakes Of modern history. In
the great fire Of London. in 1865. the
number OF buildings destroyed was
13.35O. When Moscow was burned in
1912 to thwart Napoleon's invasion of
Russia, 3O.S buildings went up in
flames. Constantinople lost $500
shops and 500 dwellings in the con-
flagration Of 1S4s; in Pera, the for
eigners' quarter OF that city. in 1870
fire destroyed 1000 buildings. Flames
caused the destruction of 7.45O build
ings in the city OF Chicago in 1871. In
1892 St. Johns, n. F., saw 900 build
inFs go up in smoke. The Baltimore
fire of 1904 cost $500 buildings. One
third Of San Francisco was burned in
1905. The conflagration in Osaka,
Japan. in 1912. accounted for 5000
buildings. When. in 1914. Salem.
Mass. burned. 1000 buildings were
sacrificed TO the flames.

employment. According to II. E.
Miles. of the United States training

100000 workers il every soldier re-
turned to his job. The situation is
attributed to the falling off in immi-

about your life in silent facts.
And it is the way of your bearing
during every emergency of value. that
measures your ability to face all
things bravely and well.
The world is little interested in your
personal. inside History: but il is tre-
mendously interested in what shines

Manufacturers of mems shoes in
Brockton, Mass. have informed the
retail trade OF an advance of 81 a pair
on fall and winter footwear. It is sug-
gested that before snow flies. the pub
lie will pay SIS for a 81 pair OF shoes
and s25 for shoes that retail at SIS and
SIS. Among the reasons advanced for
this prospective rise is that the Euro
pean demand for American leather is
tremendous. Agents from abroad are
buying everything they can get

Paris who formerly bought American
stock in 100000 lots is now buying
