ARMS AND THE MAN.

During the past week there was held In the east a summer military camp for the militia of New York. Twenty prominent and wealthy men from New York, as many more from Boston, and Others from Albany, entered the camps as privates and took the drill and guard drudgery alone with the citizen soldiers. Secretary of War Garrison commended them on their service and said that instead of 1,500 such volunteers, the country should have 15,000,000.

The suggestion has been made that for our protection the burden of comimlsory military service may have to be laid upon the United States. But so opposed are the traditions of this country to such a step that it would be practically Impossible to bring it about. In our relations with the great dominion to the north of us, and with all the republics to the south, we halve demonstrated that a large standing army is not necessary.

The hope of all lovers of civilization is that this war will result in the elimination of compulsory military servi The elimination of vast standing armies will remove one of the biggest factors in starting hostilities—the readiness to strike. Germany, with her ever-ready army, struck at once when she became persuaded that Russia had commenced to mobilize her vast, scattered army. As a few days are sufficient for the cooling off of personal passion, so the few months which would be necessary to raise an army of volunteers, would give any nation time for the sober second thought that would insure peace. If the continental countries had possessed armies no larger than that of England, war would not now be waging in Europe. The necessary delay in beginning hostilities would have given time for peaceful adjustment.

American goods to German ports. Britain has established a virtual (though not a proclaimed) long-dis-tance blockade of the ports of Germany, Holland, Denmark and Norway on the North sea, and of Sweden on the Aretic, but has not as yet blockaded the Baltic coast of the German empire nor the coasts of the neutral lands abutting the Baltic. Sweden, Norway and Denmark may trade freely with Germany on the Baltic side, and so may Holland on the landward side. In order to keep commodities from the United States, especially munitions of war, from reaching Germany, through the Jour neutral countries named, Britain has seized and held for prize court disposal numerous vessels from the United States, not only those laden with contraband, but also those bearing cotton, provisions, etc. Though the cargoes were billed to neutral ports* Britain claims that their ultimate destination was Germany. In corroboration of this, she quotes statistics showing that im ports into these neutral countries In creased amazingly above the normal after the outbreak of the war, the Inference being that Germany was securing the surplus. The United States, however, contends that there can be no blockade of neutral ports and that there is no proof that the detained cargoes were bound for Germahy. In justification of her course, Great Britain points to a decision of the United- States supreme court, afterwards adopted by the international commission of arbitration. in the famous Alabama case. The court Justified the seizure of the ship Springbok carrying supplies, ultimately intended for the blockaded southern confederacy, while she was enroute to a neutral port in the West Indies. Britain claims that she is simply applying to new conditions a long-accepted principle of international law.

READING READING.

Governor Ralston tells the -story about the fellow who could read readin', but who couldn't read 'ritin'. If the poor fellow was reading the war news of today, he can hardly be blamed. However, many difficult names become comparatively easy when one is in possession of a few simple rules. Remember that is pronounced like y, and that is pronounced like or ff. The vowel value of does not exist among the Slavonic nations. Thus, Cracow Is pronounced as "Crackoff." And the barbarous looking consonantal combination prz Is pronounced almost as zh. Before the Russians changed the name of Przemysl to Penmysl, there was a, tot of talk about the proper pronunciation of the name. -Even what was supposed to be expert linguistic opinion was not unanimous on that word. An eminent English linguist says that "Zhemeesl" is the nearest practical method of expressing the sound and that if the speaker cares to put "the shadow of an echo of a dream of a letter p" before it, he will then be absolutely correct.

Apart from its difficulty of pronunciation, the name Przemysl is still of interest to the student of derivations. The syllable "imysl" in both the Pollsty and the Russian tongue means "handicraft." Compare, if you will, the old English use of the word "mystery," meaning a trade. The medieval "Mystery Plays" were not so called because religious mysteries were dramatized, but because they were enacted by the guilds, or trade unions of the time. Shakespeare's "teach me thy mystery" meant "teach me thy trade." And though there may be no traceable etymological connection between "mysl" and "mystery," the coincidence is striking.

The other syllable, "prze" is analagous to the prefix "pre" and so the name explains itself as "A town noted for its handicrafts."

THE HEARTLE8S CORPORATION.

!rwo or three news items in the Tribune during the past week refute, in a manner, the notion that corporations are "heartless." Too, they reflect a new relationship between employer and employee. The other day several employes of the Ford plant, in Detroit, asked for vacations. Henry Ford heard the foreman refuse them and forthwith issued an order for week's vacation for every man in the plant, saying "We will all take it together and get it over with."

An unsolicited present of half a million dollars to its employees by the Calumet & Hecla Mining company is another signal evidence of the fairness of big business. With the opening of the European war, when copper dropped to eleven ^ents, the Calumet & Hecla company and all Its subsidiaries went on three-quarter time, wages were cut ten per cent, and all salaried employees, from the general manager down to the office boy, stood a fifteen per cent salary reduction. When the market improved, the plants were put on full time later wages and salaries were restored t* their old level, followed shortly after by a ten per cent increase in wages. The latest decision of the company is to further share the present prosperity of the copper market with its employees by distributing half a million dollars to make up for the cut in wages, following the outbreak of th$ war.

NOTHING WASTED.

"Well, Bobby," said the minister to the small son of one of his deacons, "what is the news?" "Popper's got a new set of false teeth." "Indeed," said the minister, restraining a desire to laugh, "and what will he do with the old set?" "Oh, I suppose," replied Bdbby. "they'll cut 'em down and make me wear 'em."—Providence Times.

THE HEROIC CANAL BUILDERS.

The man who perishes at work, Or dies of sun or fever-stroke. Is not less brave than he who yields

His spirit in the battle-smoke. So let the tribute of a tear. And words of praise be not uenled To those who labored in the heat.

And ere they finished, dropped and died At Panama.

The glorv of a martial death, place upon the scroll of fame, Was not for them, oblivion

With darkness curtains every name. But 1"! their blood cements the stones, Their lives, though all ungloriHed, Arp welded with the waterway:

Not one of them in vain has died, At Panama.

Thev followed in the nation's march, Throuerh burning sun and reeking mire, Until the deadly fever turned

Their hearts to Ice and brains to fire. The labor of these nameless ones, From deep to deeo shall long abide, A fitting monument to all,

Who toiled so faithfully, and died, At ^Panama. —-Minna Irving In Leslie's.

TWO STALKS OF LAFAYIiTTB (I\D.) CORN.,,

Jack's famous bean stalk has little on the corn that is being grown In Indiana this year. The accompanying illustration affords proof. The corn seen In the picture, two or three times as high as a good sized itian, was grown at Lafayette.

unsolicited action on the part of the Calumet & Hecla company will put money into the pockets of ten thousand of its employees, and will create a spirit of good will which will amply repay the company for the generous stand it has taken.

There is nothing more unpretentious than most weeds. Yet up in Saskatchewan weeds have made the farmers $25,000,000 poorer this year. Somebody will at once discover that weeds invariably follow war.

HOROSCOPE.

Sturm Incline, But Do list Compel."

Sunday, August 29, 1915

Astrologers read this as a doubtful day. Neptune and Uranus are in a place believed to be exceedingly evil. Early in the morning Venus is in beneflc aspect.

It is a fairly good day for visiting friends and for entertaining relatives. While love affairs of long standing are favorably directed, It is a sinister rule under which to make new acquaintances.

The evil powejr of Neptune is thought to be particularly bad for hospitals, prisons and public institutions, and while the configuration prevails gas, ether, fetid odors and poisonous liquids of all sorts are held to be doubly dangerous.

The adverse aspects of Neptune tend to produce seductive influences and confusions, leading to unrest and discontent. Those who are most susceptible may desire luxuries they cannot afford.

The planetary povernment is not favorable to religious fervor, and the same sway may be exceedingly trying to ministers and priests.

The seers predict a period of supreme progress and final domination for the Jews, who are to come into their true .heritage after more than two thousand years of persecution anT subordination. All who profess to have psychic powers agree with astrologers that, with the dawning of a new era, the remnant of Judah will gain the high places.

Persons whose birthdate it is have a happy augury for the year. Promotion is indicated for those who are employed.

Children born on this day probably will be extremely successful through life. These subjects of Virgo learn easily, have great endurance and seldom show their age.

LESSONS OF A YEAR OF WAR.

One of the things that has been impressed upon us is that human nature is unchanged and unchangeable. Men today are just as brave and* Just as cruel and just as fond of that great game called war as they were in any past era. The horrors of Belgium and the Champagne and East Prussia and Galicia and Russian Poland and Serbia are greater than those of the past only in proportion to the great areas and numbers of people involved. The heroism of soldiers who give their lives for a national ideal is just as intense as it was in the days of Leonidas. Therefore we may put aside as vain and foolish all hopes that this war will be the last one because it is so terrible.

Another thing that we have had impressed upon us is that as the means of offense are developed by mechanical advance the means of defense pretty well keep pace. Where battalions are annihilated now by shells and machine guns armies were formerly destroyed by the sword and spear. If twenty million men had beert arrayed against each other in the days of Caesar the casualties at the end of the year would have been vastly more than the five millions at which conservative authorities estimate the European losses. And the casualties would have been principally killed.

War has progressed enormously in the matter of money cost.—Martin Marshall in Leslie's.

PERTINENT QUERY.

"John," said his wife, "you never seem to notice the little things in life. You never appreciate the things I do for you. Only last night I sat up after you had gone to bed and mended a hole in your trousers. Isn't -that thoughtful?" -i "Say. by the way, how'd you know there was a hole there, huh?"—Penn State Froth.

THE MASSES WITH WILSON.

Sit tight, Woodrow Wilson. Don't lot them stampede you. Don't get excited at their tom-toms and flxe crackers and yappings.

The people who make the most noise, the panic-breeders and scare manufacturers, are not the real people.

Behind you are the real ones, the great, sober, common-sense body of Americans. They are not beating drums nor setting off skyrockets. Keep in touch with them. Heed them.

The war-crazed nations of Europe are doing their utmost to entangle you. By every device of chicanery and buncombe they seek to inveigle you into their desperate lists.

Your notes to Berlin, to Vienna, and to London were masterpieces of clear law and reason. Keep on that plane, though "the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing, though the kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together."

You are not president of the democrats, but of the whole people. The interests of the silent millions are in your hands. Workmen discuss you over their dinner pails. Women are prayinig for you. Business men are watching you. Children are asking about you.

You have done well to go slow with Mexico. Long after the imbroglio shall passed your masterly patience and self-restraint shall be admired.

Hostile critics await you on all sides. They have attacked every president we have Tiad. Washington was not exempt from them, nor Lincoln.

As bad as the (iritics are the adulators. You are, of course, surrounded by hordes of the smooth-speaking gentry who flatter and fawn.

Our confidence, however, is that you are experienced enough not to be spoiled by the sweet poison of praise, that you will not develop the noxious egotism of power, that you will not aspire to leadership, but remain the humble-minded servant of the people.

Forget us not, this vast silent people! When you go alone to bed at night our ghosts are by you. When you think alone in your study our thoughts are upon you. When in your mind you arrive at your own decision our mute, myriad eyes are turned to y°«-

M'orti than any" other* ortfe man, it is you that stands between our homes and the unspeakable hell of war.

And forget not that millions of us are "waiting and watching" for that one word from you that shall cheer the world, that one word urging congress to propose to all nations that we begin at once some effort toward organizing the United States of the world—Dr. Frank Crane in The New York Globe.

SUCCESS.

Under a spreading chestnut tree the village blacksmith lies in a comfortable hammock smoking a two-for-a-quarter cigar. His name is Matthew McNully, and the chestnut tree stands in front of his cheerful farmhouse just outside Lafayette, Ind.

Day In, day out, from morn till night, as the poet sung, you could hear McNulty's bellows roar, for nearly sixty years—if you stuck around that long. During those years he shod more than half a million horses and mules. He used to have a monopoly on shoeing the towpath mules that hauled the canal boats between Lafayette and Toledo.

McNulty has retired now, with a fortune of $40,000 and a farm, over and above the good living he's made in his blacksmith shop all these years.

And it's a safe bet that no retired city banker or merchant gets more satisfaction out of his career and his millions than McNulty gets out of his anvil memories, his little farm and his forty thousand.—Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis.
