A WORLDWIDE PEACE.

Czar of Russia Tells How It Can Be Assured. WAR PREP AEEDS ESS MUST STCP. yirbolu II. DrrUrri Great Arm Irs and avtrs Most Be llrdurrd or a C'oafllet I n vol v I n it the Whole j World May Cone Sooner Than Ei peetf d Ad voeatea General Dlsarniatat. Tho czar of Russia has within the present month declared that great armies and navies, instead of guaranteeing the peace of Euroie. will tie powerless to avert the war of the future iwhieh may, he adds, involve the whole -world. lie asserted that the power, xiow staggering under the burdens of overtaxation, are rushing to disaster and that the catastrophe may come sooner than people expect. The ruler of all the Itnssias sees permanent peace for the world only by general disarmament, and he declared that he regard ed It as his sacred duty to persuade the nations to disarm. The views of Nicholas II. were expressed during- the recent maneuvers of the German fleet in the Baltic sea while he was a guest on board Kaiser Wllbelm's yacht Hohenzoliero.' The czar was in earnest conversation with the German admiral commanding the fleet, and this conversation is reported in the Frankfurter Zeitung, copies of which have just reached the United States. The Frankfurter Zeitung is looked upon as the most reliable and honorable newspaper printed In Enrope, and In consequence of the high position It holds in the political world Its report of the Interview between the czar and the admiral has attracted general attention on the continent. The conversation between the czar and the Admiral as reiorted by the Zeitung follows: Admiral Tour majesty Is pleasrd to confer toa great an honor upon an old sea dog like me. 1 m deliirlitui to think that your majesty received a favorable impression of our army and navy. for. your majesty may rf-st assured, we strain every nt-rve to keep t!te army and navy abreast of the times, which is the ideal thing for every good government lo do. The t'rar There I differ m-ith you, admiral. Accordir.x to rr.y own views, the ideal thing; ? lo would be to reduce standing armies and navies Instead of keeping on increasing their strength. This so called preparedness for war arming on a rrat and ever grt-ater scale Is overburdening the peoples, of Europe. All governments should strive to l'&sen their expenses for the army and navy. As long as they do the opposite they are simply upholding and perpetuating an intolerable situation. Admiral A humane and extremely generous thought, your majesty, but The Crar (interrupting) Xot a thought only, admiral. I am devoting my life to the realization of the peace idea. Admiral Indeed your majesty's big hearted endeavors permit of no misinterpretation, but the other powers, your maj sty, the other powers! Your majesty won't believe for a moment that the others powers will find it to their interest to reduce their armies and naviesl The Crar 1 am convinced that a condition rch as 1 have outlined will serve the true interest and conform to the just aspirations of all the powers. Admiral May it please your majesty, don't you think that a perfect army and navy, an army and navy ready to move against the enemy at a moment's notice, so to speak doesn't your majesty think that such weapons as those constitute the best guarantee of eace? The Orar In order to establish true and permanent pence it is absolutely necessary that the nations' war ;irpartdnes, as constituted by their armies and i nvin, be limited. The nations durst not go i fur v r increasing their war strength and heaping up war material. There should be no further progress, so railed, io the art of killing men and animals, destroying ships, interfering with commerce and laying waste provinces. AU that has to stop. The nations want a rest. They have been clamoring for the cessation of war cares, produced by the announcement that A bas better guns than B or that i ia building more and better ship than T can afford to do. They have demanded a let up in war preparedness tor twenty years! On that point the civilised nations are fully agreed, and international policy, any d"ar admiral, will eventually compel the permanent peace policy, I say, and not armies and ravies. Admiral I beg to assure your rosjesty that my government, like that of St. Petersburg, strive for peace most earnestly. To preserve peace is its incerest wish, believe me, your majesty, but to preserve peace our army and navy must be in the kest possible shape. We must increase and augment them steadily to keep pace with the growth ef population and the armament of other peoples. Your majesty knows the old saying: Si vis pacera para bellum. God forbid that we increase the army and navy with the idea of carrying war into our neighbors' land. It's all done in the interest of peace. For peace's sake we are willing to make any sacrifice. The Cur Yes, 1 heard this story before. Tou compel your people to bleed itself to death to furnish ways and means for keeping up a tremendous force on land and sea and for adding to it constantly in a manner heretofore, happily, unknown. Neither Napoleon I. nor Frederick the Cieat, neither Alexander nor Peter, neither Louis XIV. nor our own Catherine, ever dreamed of such armies and navies in wartime as are now established while Europe enjoys the blessings of peace. Put all your arming and the whole immense apparatus afoot and afloat, eating millions day by cay. don't amouTit to a row of pins as aa actual guarantee cf peace. The nations of Europe are f tuuay a far as ever from declaring the permaremy cf peace. Despite your armies and navies the blessings of a wot M s peace are not yet within reach. Admiral True enough, your majcty. armed peace demands great sacrifice. We have to pay heavily for the maintenance of peace by a grand j army and nary; but. your majesty, the people are j glad to contribute to the welfare of Europe even j at considerable expense. The Crar Maybe, admiral, but the thing can't gt on! The sacrifices demanded of the taxpayer are constantly growing. Financial troubles, owing to the expense of the army and navy, are increasing day by day. J tell you this thing spells disaster. The public welfare ia threatened at its roots. Admiral Tour majesty Is pleased to leave many things, stamping armed preparedness as a blessing to the peop'e, out of your calculations. Big armies and grand navies compel the nations to work and strive. They banish Idleness and call for honest compel ilion. Nowadays every people in Europe is trying to produce the best weapon, the finest ships. The Caar But it's not humanity's business to produce means of destruction. We were put upon this earth to build up. not to do the other thing. AU the money spent for the army and navy above a certain necessary amcunt is money diverted from its real purpose, money invested in unproductive labor. Admiral Your majesty was pleased to admire our fine quick firing guns. You have seen those mysteries of the sea beats that travel under wa ter, the ironclad von,?ei. cur incomparable flotilla ef torpedo boats all these wonders of twentieth century technique. Are they not evidence of marvelcua progress? Doesn't your majesty recofrnixe that our people give their best thought, tbeii brightest endeavors, to the fatherland? 1 repeat ft. ia my humble opinion oar army and navy are VU- best guarantee at peace, while tae aaaney in

vested thereto pays abundant interest by the maintenance of pmce. The people' mosey cor lf not be more psoatat'ty invested thaa in secanng peace as we do. The Czar (slaking his kad ladefd, and what bout tbos? hurlrel o4 cuilions you are sJing for m-atw of destruction, today labeled til "best and latest," while tumetrus j on must admit that they are alul berauer int!iiBg new. something to o6-l them, wa invented? A line investment, admiral. Admiral 1 wi,I not deny that we are frett.-r doom to difappointment of the sort your maj

esty referred to. But if your majety iii permit me I dare say the competition of investors hen-rats our home irdustry and ronee'iu-nt!y the people that live by industry and comm-rce. The Czar Your argument is illognal. a.'miral. Powder and guns, torpedoes an-1 submarine vessels, ship net destined for commere- ail suo things are tilt values. Ttw persons rr..a;ru in their manufacture contribute neither to tbe world's betterment nor to their own bappiv-. ironclaris, grapshot. s won is and lance are not agents of progress by any means. Tiieir wholesale manufacture presuptioses a deficit in the making of articles that stand for culture aiid economical advancement. Besides, it is easy t o prove that the system A armed preparednes m largely responsible f.r tiie financial depressions that crop up from time to time in all countries turned into camps. Admiral But. your majesty, what has preserved peace during the last twenty and more years if it was not our grand army? If we hadn't been so well prepared as to number of soldiers and ships, as to the latest pattern of guns and other war material, hostilities might have broken out on several occasions. The Csar Hypothesis, my dear admiral! There isn't il .-torn of proof for what you say. I am convinced, on the other hand, that your grand collection of war material is a permanent menace to peace. Admiral On that point I beg to differ with your majesty, and the people, I am sure, think as 1 do. They love the army and value it for the protection it renders the nation. And tor these services they are willing to pay. - v r The Czar It is unfortunate that you and armed war preparedness enthusiasts generally will not see things in their proper light. As a matter of fact, standing armies and big navies are obstructing national development everywhere, and the people, staggering under the weight of overtaxation for army purposes, hate and loath the institution, while fearing it at the tame time. I tell you, admiral, if things go on as they have been going, the catastruphe which you hope to avert will occur sooner than you think. Trie disaster will be awful. The thought of it might make an honest man shudder. Admiral I beg your majesty's pardon. I am ovily an old sea dog trying to do my duty. Now. duty, as 1 take it, compels the state to do every thing in its power to keep the army abreast of the times, increasing and equipping it in the best manner possible, so that, in the hour of danger The Czar No, no, no. It's the state's duty to avert war by other means than by laying up war material that must necessarily lead to wr. Don't you know that the war of the future, of whicn we stand in such dread, may involve the whole world ? Admiral Is your majesty thoroughly in earnest? The Czar Most thoroughly. I regard it as my sacred duty to secure permanent peace for the world by persuading the nations to disarm- At the same time. ! am not blind to the fact that this grand purpose can only be achieved by the co-operation of all civilized peoples. This ended the conversation, the czar rising and Riving the signal for the dismissal of the fleet. CENTENNIAL OF HUGO. France to Celebrate Famous Writer's One llnndrrillli Hi rt lxl.-t y. M. Waldeck-Kousseau and his colleagues in the French government have decided to celebrate in a national way the one hundredth birthday of Victor Hugo, which will fall next February, says a Paris dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald. The celebration wiil be on the largest and most imposing scale. Representatives of French art and literature, all of the highest distinction, will participate, and the festival will lie in a special sense such a one as the masses may join In. In making the announcement for the government the Temps says: "In spite of the reaction against the school which Victor Hugo led. in spite of a tendency to question his originality afttl his philosophic authority, he nevertheless remains, both by virtue of the amount of his product and by the brilliancy cf his imagination and his unrivaled control of the melodious capacity of words, the most imposing literary figure in France during the nineteenth century." Doubtless the celebration will lead to a revival of popular interest In Hugo's novels and poems. Literary Frenchmen see in him not only the chief of romanticism, but the ablest exponent of socialistic democracy. Possibly, though, his anticlerical prejudices will prevent the French religious classes from joining heartily In the projected ceremonies. Jto JSew Silver at Christmas. No new silver coins will lie issued by the mint this Christinas, the Bank of England being notified recently that. In view of the fact that the present stock of silver coin Is large enough, new coins bearing the king's effigy will be Issued in the new year, says the London Mail. In future the Issue of silver coins will be regulated by the requirements of circulation anil not by the desire of the public to jx.ssess nrw silver at Christmas. The Automobile to the Home.

Asparagus was beueticial in kidney troubles. Celery was a sure cure for rheuaiatism and neuralgia. The carrot formed blood and added to the beauty of the skin. Beets aud turnips kept the blood pure and improved the appetite. Water cress, like asparagus, was good for the kidneys and was a stimulant to mind aud body. Lettuce waa extremely beneficial for tired nerves and tha lassitude peculiar to spring. Tarsley proved an excellent tonic and also cleared the complexion, while the whole array of "greens," mustard, cowslip, horseradish, dock, dandelions, young beet tops and even stalks of the milkweed were religiously added to the springtime bill of fare, to clear the blood, regulate the system and remove that tired feeling so closely associated with the vernal season.

It contains a powerful green herb that gives it its color, and it is this same herb that stops pain in people's bodies. There are plenty of white, brown and yellow liniments, but there is only one Omega Oil, and it is green. There is nothing like Omega Oil for curing pain, just as there is nothing like the sun for making real daylight. m.
