The terror then burst upon Eu- rope out of a clear sky. Now the sky has been black with menace for two years.
 This produced another differ ence between 1914 and 1887. Then, of course, nations had been preparing a long time. But it was a long drawn out, orderly process which came to seem normal. When the war broke suddenly, Europe's purchasing agents came here only after trouble began. But this time the nations have begun their fever- ish preparations in anticipation of the war. The rush came in 1914 af- ter the declaration. This time the rush has been on for two years and in particular the last year. Now be- fore the war Europe and America are doing what they did after the war-pilihg up arms and borrowing money for the purpose.
 And this frantic and unwhole- some activity has already ex- pressed itself in our industry = our munition plants, steel mills, copper smelters, chemical indus tries and other enterprises.
 Twelve Billions
 To Be 1887 Cost
 The leading countries of the world spent last year $10,730,- 100000. This was two billion dollars more than in 1885 and nearly six billion dollars more than in 1914. It was three times as much as in 1892. This year the expenditures for war purposes will probably be nearer TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS.
 Newspapers frequently carry headlines about recovery in Flu rope. Occasionally some wizard of finace rises to explain to us how Europe has come back with out all the circling around we have done. Europe is recover ing" as we recovered in 1915 to 1919, upon crimson wave of war preparations and imitation.
 In Germany there are perhaps 600,00O fewer idle than a year ago. The munitions plants and the army have devoured them. The government pays the bills as we paid our war bills-with money borrowed from her banks. The German worker pays with short rationS. Germany uses all her foreign credits to buy war supplies instead of food to feed her people. One-course Sunday dinners, one dish meals, no fats, no butter, in adequate fiour-so that money may be used to buy arms. Meanwhile

makers.
 Copper prices soar and copper prots rise with them. Some copper companies have doubled profits in the last year. The people are cheer ing in Utah and Colorado and the copper states. The gun plants in Hartford and New Haven and Bridgeport are working three shifts a day as they did in 1915. In Brass Valley along the Naugatuck it looks again like the glorious days before our entry into the war. Airplane factories are crowded with orders. Our ship plants are working to ca pacity. Chemicals, textiles, various other raw materials including cot- ton are getting their share of the plumber. In these industries we and Europe are once again building g. little boom upon making war ma terialS. ,.
 What can be the end? If Italy and Germany stopped their war indus tries now the two countries would collapse instantly into 8 devastating depression. The same thing is true of England. If we stopped our war spending and if we lost Europe's WAT spending we would see large addi- tions at once to our idle. There

 Now, as we mark the twen- tieth anniversary of our en- try into the Great War, Time and Circumstance are teasing us once again to the same fate.
 The immediate causes which made war then and make for war now are somewhat different. In 1914 it was the ran1Shackle Aus tro-H Hungarian empire crumbling to decay and the militaristic mad ness of Germany which were the proximate causes of the war. Now 1t is the decay of the economic fabrics of European socities, the impact of civil war and the l1ili- taristic mania of the dictators at bay which makes for war. Then 1t was primarily a war between peoples. Now it threatens to be- come war between ideas, be- tween classes, between the en- trenched rights and the revolting lefts.
 There is another difference. Tn 1914 just before the storm, peace seemed secure. Now the ap- preaching havoc is heralded by a hundred trumpets of warning. In 1914 the Balkan war had been composed; Europe seemed tram quil. Now Europe is ablaze with plans for the coming struggle.

her banks are choked with German bonds and short-term credits. Prices rise, but wages stay low because begged at slump levels by the gov- ernment.
 England joins the race. She votes seven and half billion dollars for arms over the next five years. Her munitions plants hum as in the days of Lloyd Georges ministry.
 France will double her expen- ditures this year. Japan spends 46.6 per cent of all her revenues on war costs.
 Prosperity Like
 That of War Era
 The part of all this which con- cernS us is that we are now enjoying what we enjoyed in 1914. The war orders are here. In three years we have sent five million tons of scrap iron to Great Britain, Japan and Italy. Scrap iron is becoming scarce here so that our own steel masters are troubled. The prices soar. Our steel mills are getting their share of the boom. No man can account for steel operating at 90 per cent of ca- pacity unless he comedies that a great deal of it is arinor plate and materials for ships and munitions

In 1914 when Senator Gore offered 6 resolution to keep Amer jeans of beIIigerent ships howl of indignant protest went up all over the land. But now we have a law on that subject.

The bachelors club organized over in Brooklyn is beginning to feel and appear sadly depressed and for good Perhaps most important of which is that the membership has dwinded to four individuals on whose shoulders rests the complete burden At time things considerably brighter and that was when the club had ladies auxiliary, which recently severed it's association and in doing left the imprint of Icebocks the roster The lads anything but and just refused to weaken and abide by the suggestions of the weaker sex relative to the operation of the cub that relations it noticed that both chapter and auxiliary were missing two members. The club consists of Attorney Joseph P. Alishausky Joseph Mazaka Joseph G. Coskie and Harry Kenausis They claim that the club is very exclusive but refuse to comment upon the rapidly dwindling membership.
