The I4aborites in British cleo feated. Returns from 70 bor- oughs show that out of 574 labor candidates only 25 were elected. Labor do1es, radical legislation, unemployment and other burdens laid on the country without any increase in production have made living harder for everybody and the people are making a change.
 
 Throughout the world this change from radica lism to con- servatism is going on. In Italy 1t is managed by the Fascist, who have installed a conservative gov are wrecking and burning tLe temples of Communism and So- ciaIfsm.
 
 Russian events furnish support for conservatism. Control there by the workers did not give a happy result. Workers every where fear violent upheava1s. The news spreads that a modern civilization cannot be operated by it's feet: management must come from the head.
 %ss
 Something of the same sort has been going on in Ireland. The u1tra-ra dica1s and the radicals have been getting the worst of it. Control has more and more been going into the hands of the Irish Free Staters who, before long, will have arrived at stable governme ent.
 
 France went through a process of stabilization; almost the first of the countries to put down her radicals and put up her conser- vatives.
 Germany of the great countries retains a radical organization in the sense that the leaders are Socialists; but this organization has been conservative. It has kept order, 1t has fostered in- dustry. It may survive.
 ss
 The French were quickest to seek conservative methods be- cause they know about the French Revolution, a terrible struggle in which all sorts of anarchy and bloodshed reigned, until the dic- tator, Napoleon. set up his cannon in the streets of Paris and shot peace and order into his country men.
 From these happenings in other 1t ought to be possible to draw conclusions for America. It would be natural to believe that in this election all sorts of radi- caIism will be put down and all sorts of conservatism will be set up. It is hard to be sure about such things; America has never suffered a reign of radicalism, 1t has always been in conservative hands. The radical has done his work sporadically. If his work was good, before he had thor oughly done it the conservatives completed the job
 It Is a good thing for the Amer lean system that it permits radical measures to come up to be scru- tfn1zed and to be adopted one by one if they are good. A country must have progress or 1t will fall Into decay; a country must not have too much progress at one lime. or 1t will be precipitated in to anarchy.
 = aA
 The old world is getting ready
 
 The conservatives, among whom ire mainly included the trained administrators, are going to get another chance. This will mean , consolidation of progress and a preparation for more progress.
 ss
 The conservative of this hour s not like his brother of the old .irne. He has learned many new hings. He has mastered many lew lessons. Often his ideas are ,uch as would have made him before the war. The elections in England are a rain DOW In the sky There is to be inc for work and play and preparation for the next epoch

 Consequently her interview can be given to the public today.
 The correspondent asked the prin- cess:
 What about that mysterious trunk which is said to have arrived lr: Doorn the other day? It was said to con tain the crown which the former kaiser is personally to place .poD your head"
 A bitter, jerky laugh was the frs reaction from this question.

Los Angeles, Dec. 5.TOh. what a
wonderful time the burglars and pc
lice are going to have now that Or.
Max Ritterrath has invented a gun
that shoots around corners"
Ritterrath's invention, which has
been offered to the war department,
is a cannon ball, but suppose that he
perfects a revolver bullet with the
same chara cteristicS.
Police would havesno trouble shoot
ing around phone poles, garbarge cans
or twenty-seven story buildings, and
Just think what time the burglars
and gunner would have shooting
around corners at their victims and
then picking off the pursuing officers
as they left the station house by shoot
ing around two or three city blocks.
But Ritterrath is a real inventor of
war materials. He has perfected five
inventions which will prove exception
ally useful in war. These are: The
cannon ball mentioned above; a big
gun without a recoil; a fourteen or
sixteen-inch shell which travels intact
to a certain point and then separates
into twenty or thirty smaller ones
travelling at right angles to the orig
inal; a new projectile travelling 40 per
cent farther than any existing type,
and an automatic rangefinder.
His inventions prove that airplanes
will not be the only important means
of defense in the next war.

lover the crash, and roar and noise
of bitter conflict of mankind, where
knights dash forth to do battle with
each other, we hear the clear pure
overtone of womanood and mother
hood as these women, taking no heed

them, go forth on their Grand car

loving godliness. Any of these women
would give her life in the succor of
the children of her children's enemies,

about from pillar to post, deprived of
