General Ludendorff sees another
war IN 1882. When it is over, ac-
cording to his prophecy, Germany
and Italy will be crushed. Russia,
England and Austria will side with
Germany, but France, heading an
other group, will win."
That prophecy need not be taken
seriously. The German generals
had little idea of what was going
to happen in 1914. They counted
on a single victorious campaign to
last few months.
Mans occupation from the be-
ginning has been hunting down his
enemies to destroy them, or hunt
ing other men and animals for food.
Hunters at first used their own
legs and hands, then horses,
hounds, hawks.
Now they have changed from
hunting the mastodon, driving the
25,000-pound monsters into pits, to
hunting creatures too small to be
seen with the naked eye.
Austrian art treasures in Salz-
burg were exposed to destruction
by minute worms, devouring price
less manuscripts and ancient carved
wood.
Scientists exposed the worms for
eighteen hours to the val 0rs of
cyanide gas. The worms are all
dead and the art treasures are safe.
A gentleman is here from China
to borrow from the United States
government one thousand million
ounces of silver, worth about $780,
100000.
China uses silver as money, and
would be much obliged If Uncle
Sam would lend a billion ounces.
Fortunately we are not in war
days, when anybody could shovel
out American billions to foreigners.
Congress must pass on the proposed
Chinese loan, and will probably
ask, do you want the money to
feed your starving tens of mil
lions, or to give your 100000 SOL
diers their back pay and keep up
the tighting?'
Captain Hawks continues to make
other distinguished flyers look like
estimable "has beens." He flew
from Havana to New York in 8
hours A minutes, averaging 100
miles an hour, doing 600 miles at
210 miles an hour.
If men would buy stocks care
fully selected, of sound value, as
they buy real estate, within their
means, every intelligent man today
could lay the foundation of future
independence.
But, in stocks or in real estate, il
you gamble you are gone. Any
one of ten million ghosts that float
around the back door Of the stock
exchange at midnight could tell you
that.

the improving is done in even a

way.
After a long delay, New York and
New Jersey decided to build a We
hicle tunnel under the Hudson.
In three years 100000 automo-
b1les have used the tunnel, paying
$15,500,000 in tolls.
The tunnel cost S54,0OO,0OO, and
is taking in $6,000,000 a year. In 10
years it will pay for itself.
If cities were run by competent
business men instead of being run, |
as Is usual, by grating and ig- |
norant politicians, taxes would be
cut down so per cent and more.
Prosperity and values would in
crease gigantically.
The government has broken up
a ring dealing in drugs to the tune
of millions. Fifty thousand dol
lars worth of narcotics were sold
each week in laundries and restau-
rants in New York city.
Other drugs will be seized, and
other men will go to jail, but the
drug trade will not be broken up.
When men can sell for hundreds
of dollars profit the contents of an
oyercoat pocket, men will be found
to do the selling, especially as they
themselves are often drug addicts.
The business world, including all
publishers, will appreciate Presi-
dent Hoover's sound advice to adj
yertisers.
