If Russia pucceeda in overrunning Germany while Prance and Knland engage the larger part of the German army in the west what will Russia demand as a reward for her services? Kngland and France may be trusted to take no advantage of success which might or materially would change the map o; I'urope. France wants what she regards as her own. Alsace and Lorraine, but Great Britain Is not seekingterritory on the continent. Ostensibly and .probably sin cerely Great Britain is righting for the autonomy of Hurope. It may be unjust to suspect Russia of ulterior motives, but if we do suspect her she lias none to blame but herself. Russia is popularly regarded among- the nations as having sinister puri.ioi.es. She is not believed capable of the magnanimous motives uith which Grat Britain is credited. Her aims are at least suspectea of being sordid. There is little in common or In sympathy between Russia and the other ' rld powers. A race distinction draws an ineffaceable line between her and the Teutons, the Gauls, the Faxons and the Ittin races. The homogeneity wliu-h enables the latter to more intimatel- understand and associate with each other does not extend to the Slav. Russia may be described like the first Napoleon, as "grand, gloomy and peculiar". he lives apart from her neighbors for lack of congeniality, perhaps not in her people, but in her institutions. Xhc has not hitched her wagon to the star which has advanced her sister nations along the path of progress. Her ambitions have centred and ended in governmental organization, in grasping new territory to add to her already vast possessions and to extend the rule of the Slavic hand wherever it has been possible to do so. Whenever Russia has gained an advantage she has extorted a toll. What will be the price of her aid in the subjugation of German, if that new doubtful result is obtained? Militarism, as exempliiied by Germany, is objectionable enough, but united with the ltv system would be unbearable east of the Teutcnic line. Si 1111 'Kits Ml ST TAKi: CIIAXCKS. An interesting opinion relative to United States trade with foreign countries engaged in war has been given by Cone Johnson, solicitor for the state department. The solicitor says it will not be an unneutrnl act to ship meats to the German government or any other belligerent. Though the solicitor does not say so this opinion would apply to other foods as well as meats r.nd leave American producers unrestricted in their business intercourse with other nations whether at war or not. International law provides, according to the solicitor, that if shipments are intended lor the consumption of noncombatants or other peaceful use they would not be subject to seizure a-s contraband of war, but if destined for army or government use they would be liable to confiscation. The point is that American producers may ship food of any kind to any port in the world without disturbing the neutrality of ihe United states, but they must take their chances of lots through the operation of belligerency unless the K"ernment should choose to insure shipments. The risk is reat whether consignments are mide to the combatants or noncoml atants of any country at war. Cruisers patrolling the ?ea cannot be expected to discriminate closely between shipments. Jf a German oruiser intercepts a shipload of provision consigned to I'ngland it ntflcers will not be likely to stop to inquire whether the cargo is designed for the consumption of noncombatants or combatants. They will give themrelves the benefit of any doubt that may evist or which they may create as to the correctness of the bills of lading. How tre they to know, they may ask thern?eles that t'ca aubtcrfue of shipping to a hostile

At present it is comparatively safe to ship to Kngllish, French or Russian ports, whether consigned to the governments or to individuals, but it is doubtful if a ship loaded with supplies for Germany could get through. The enormous rewards of the business will tempt shippers to take risks, just as the blockade runners took them in the civil war, and some of them will succeed. British di:libi;iltion. The British attitude toward Kmperor William is the same, as that assumed by Mr toward Napoleon. Kngland declares she is righting against military dictatorship in Kurope. She conceives the purpose of William to be the same as that of Napoleon, to rule FJurope by the sword. The irresistible advance of the German army through Belgium, its invasion of French territory and the imminent danger of the capture of Paris have finally aroused the English people. At last our phlegmatic cousins realize the significance of the German invasion. Not only do they see the autonomy of continental nations menaced but peril for the nationality, the liberty and independence of Great Britain herself. low to anger and deliberate in action England has been carried off her feet by the impetuosity of the German advance. She was caught unready, unprepared for the climacteric events which the carefully laid plans of Germany have rushed upon her. Her slowness to respond has permitted Germany to overcome her enemies' seriatim, first the Etelgians, then the French, then the French and English. She has been too slow for the concerted action by the allies which alone had a chance to stop the German rush. Now it seems probable that Paris will be sacrificed to unpreparedness. Despite conflicting reports the may tells the story of German progress toward the French capital. That evidence of German success and French peril cannot be doubted. It is conviction that though delayed Germany's purpose has not been defeated, and, if the signs ntean anything, will not be. But the capture of Paris by the Germans will not end the war. British deliberation has prolonged rather than hastened conclusions. With her conviction that the results of German success would be the same as those which would have followed victory by Napoleon Great Britain cannot stop now when she has just begun. A riOIITKIl WHO CAN DKKAM. With the whole world maddened by the din of arms, it has remained for a former bandit. Villa, to sound a high note of peace." He has seen the cruelty of war and wants his country to lay it aside. His plea, strange as it may seem, is that the new order of things in Mexico shall be genuinely different a government of civil authority working to heal the wounds, bind up the bruises and lay, in justice, the foundations of a public welfare. This ruthless fighter can also dream dream of a people out of bondage, ! toilfully working through the many problems and tangles of democracy to a better day. The dream may not in his day come true, but it does him credit none th? less. "Without vision a people perish." TiuiAsrm: above prick. T thank God that He has granted me a wife so sweet, so loving and so capable." With these words an English baron, lorn Winborne, concludes a 4 0-word will. leaving to her all his property. Because the baron is dead and some of the property is in America and subject to an inheritance tax. a copy of the will has come to our notice. How thoughtful of him to pen a tribute so that it would come as from a voice from out the grave. It doesn't take an artificial '.itle to prove that

this Englishman '.va?, indeed, a nohleniii n. War threatens much of the property thus willed, a war he did not live to se. I'ut we fany that his widow would rather lose it all than to haw niis'd ih . enduring memory of so tout hir.c a memorial.

No fJerm.in citjzen of the i'nited 'ates should he denied the privilege "f exulting over the achievements of the ;errnan army, hut he should not expect every liody to agree with him as to the merits of the Herman cause. Bankers are protesting azain?t federal inspection of the manner In which they make their loans, yet they are perfectly willinp the government should supply the money that protects them against stringency. One of the preachers at Winona said that in spite of the war In Kurope "the cause of peace has made marvelous progress in the world". That must le some of that "darkest before dawn" stuff.If Germany can continue to move forward at the rate of twenty miles a day the Paris campaign will easily come to an end this week, but there must be limitations even to German speed. The law permitting foreign made hips to register in the United States will be put in force this week. This is the first step toward an American marine. Pres. Wilson is getting some relaxation and rest out of his stay in Vermont, and he needs it. But he will be back at the works on Thursday. Incidentally Gen. Funston is calling for more troops in Vera' Cruz. We are also neutral there, but will take the liberty of seeing fair play. That little war of our own in Montana is still in progress. The militia Is now to be mobilized to quell the insurrection. Germany's threat to annex Belgium if France and England coax Italy into the fight was probably preceded by the intent. England at last realizes that there Is war in Europe'and will proceed to do something about it. Interviewing Langley By Fred C. Kelly The recent feat of a well known aeronaut In riding through space on an air craft of the Langiey design, in vindication of the late Prof. Langley's theories, recalls what used to be considered one of the best practical jokes in Washington. Prof. Langley, as is now generally admitted, lived a few years ahead of his time. His Ideas about aerial navigation were .sound, but he was unable to have them taken seriously in Washington, where he lived, or by the incredulous general public. He had been twitted and paragraphed about his attempts to fly, until the whole airship proposition had got under his cuticle in a way that gave him a savage disposition. And he was particularly intolerant of newspaper writers; whom he regarded as an unthinking class of people who had consecrated their lives to making sport of those who were trying to accomplish something worth while. Interviewing Langley about hi3 work, therefore, came to be regarded as a perilous undertaking. Whenever a n-v reporter came to town his associates usually initiated him by sending him to see Langley in much the Fame jocular spirit that they sent a new man to interview Wu Ting Fang. (Minister Wu was harmless enough except that he reserved the right to do all the talking and to ask more questions per minute than a seven-year-old boy. Langley, however, was likelj' to act ferocious the moment he found himself face to face with a newspaper man, because he assumed that the man had come to look him over and then make fun of him. The facts were that everybody, aside from a few scientists, were cocksure in those days that flying without a gas bag would ever remain among the Impossible things, and any man who undertook to defy gravitation was looked upon as legitimate prey not only for the paragraphers but for all amateur parlor comedians. Langley on the other hand knew that he was right. He had satisfied himself that if he cild get the proper sort of a motor and work out a few minor details his aeroplane theory would make good. Having the thing firmly established in his own mind it was little wonder that he got sick and tired of the gibes and mirth that his efforts produced. s The Wright boys would have been laughed at during the experimental stage of their work just as rp?artily as Langley was, except that Langley being located in a big news center like Washington, was unable to keep his plans and movements so well to himself. At that, the hereof writer, who used to live near the Wrights experiment field, can recall the tolerant amusement and derision that they excited throughout that part of the country. It is interesting to recall, too. that on the very day the Wrights first contrived to fly, there was in type in a big southern Ohio newspaper ottice a long editorial explaining in a learned way just why flying with a heavier-than-air-machine was a scientific impossibility. When it was reported that the Wrights had really flown, that editorial was "held aver", pending an investigation of the report. It was kept in type for a week or two. But it was never printed. All this, however, is clear away from our mafn subject, which happens to be a joke the boys p'ayed on Frederick W. Steckman, when he struck Washington. Steckman. now a well known Washington newspaper writer, came to the capital from Missouri to take a job on .i paper. On the second day after his arrival, his associates got heir heads together and said: "Well. 1 guess we'd better send the cub down to interview l-mgley." It was agreed that that should be done and one of the group motioned for Steckman and called him to one fide. "The ortice haj just had a tip." this man explained, "that an odd-looking aerial craft was seen flying over the Potomac about daylight this morning.

The thought that these gentle creatures, reared in the lap of luxury, have been left to share the hardships the war is inflicting on the people of France, Germany, Belgium, etc., etc.. etc.,' and perhaps O horrors! eaten to save ordinary human beings, is painful. And think of the anguish of the women who have been thus bereaved. They have now none to kiss and fondle but their husbands and children, if they have any. THE dispatches announce that French aeroplanes have failed to locate German troops, but the experience of the past few days should teach the French If this is not an unneutral utterance that they needn't hunt for the Germans. WHEN we see a woman driving a motor car we wonder that there are not more women, chauffeurs, assuming that there are some professionally engaged in that occupation. Seems to us it offers a new avenue of expression for women, just as aviation has. For sanity and safety we should prefer to take our chances with a woman at the wheel. Women are venturesome, but they can see farther through a windshield than men. L. C. N. writes that Jim Bailey's cow is dead and translated into beef. If the old cow's beef was as strong as WHAT THE WILLIAM, THE ABSENT. A king loses his throne and a four line newspaper paragraph is published concerning the incident. He goes, the world knows not where, and the world seemingly is little concerned about its ignorance concerning royalty's obscure progress. It is almost a week now since William of Wied absented himself cautiously from his peppery domain of Albania, and if he left any note stuck on his royal pincushion the reporters on the local papers didn't consider it of sufficient importance to transcribe it for publication. To be sure. William of Wied had in a measure taken the dramatic effect from his exit by previous public rehearsals. But, nevertheless, he may feel that he is entitled to consideration. For was not the action of Germany and Austria in settling up his It may have been some huge bird, but it occurs to me that the most plausible theory is that Langley has at last succeeded in flying his airship. Now if you were to run and see him and get a statement that he did fly over the Potomac you can see what a feather it will be in your cap. 1 wish I had my work up so that 1 could go myself. Still, you're new on the paper and I'd like to see you have your chance." Steckman was young and ambitious and full of enthusiasm and did not wait to hear any more. He dashed out into the street and inquired the way to Langley 'a ottice over at the Smithsonian Institute. - Now, imagine the situation. Lansley was about ready to kill any newspaper man who dared so much as even mention the word "Hying machine", and here was a chap who had the sublime effrontery to walk boldly in and ask him casually if he had been flying about "a bit that morning. If you have ever been butted all over the back lot with a pet goat and then had some waggish neighbor drop over to inquire how you're getting along with the goat, you may frame up. some idea of how langley felt right at that moment. It never occurred to him that Steckman had come for the purpose except to make sport of his failure to fly. In a rage Langley began to roar and erupt a stream of depreciating epithets. Steckman was so frightened and startled that he never even thought to run. All he could think of was what an attractive world and what a lot of good friends he would leave behind him. Finally he managed to utter a remark that he was new in town and had come in the utmost good faith. When the storm had subsided somewhat he endeavored to convince Langley that he was not a professional joker. 'Well, I'll take a chance on you." said Langley, "I'll dictate a statement showing Just what it is I'm working on." He called in a stenographer and dictated a long explanation of his scientific work in the weighing of air currents, and the difficulties of getting a motor that would overcome the variations in the different strata of air encountered the same problem that h-rfs been one of the chief puzzles of aerial navigators down to the present day. "Use it or garble It or mutilate what I say in whatever you're of a mind to." enjoined Langley, as Steckman started away,- "but I'm going to take a chance on you just because you have a rather intelligent fact." To the great astonishment of those who were holding in their laughter until Steckman should return, he reentered the newspaper ottice neither crippled nor empty handed. Instead he quietly sat down and revamped the first statement ever given to the public by Iangley about the problem of air currents that confronted those who would fly. steckman fixed up the statement for the Sunday Issue of the paper and then worked it over for one or two of the lew-" scientific Journals of the country.

The truly calamitous and distressing feature of the European war thus far has not been the destruction of stately cities, the ruthless slaughter of brave men, or the suffering of women and innocent children. Rather has it been the tragic interruption of the triumphal tour of Mrs. Charles H. Anthony in her Muncie-mide Mother Hubbards, slit skirts, and transparent gowns. This statuesque dame, who several years ago gathered in great gobs of notoriety by displaying some rather large shoes with diamond-studded heels, undertook this summer to dazzle Europe with her Hoosier sartorial creations and she had scarcely landed when the war broke out. Europeans being in no laughing mood, poor Mrs. Anthony was quite lost sight of and has now returned to America in no amiable frame of mind. She is obliged to waste her perfume on the desert air, so to speak, or lest figurative language be misunderstood and some remarks be made concerning the advantages of wearing shields, let us say she Is forced to lavish her splendor on blinking social bats of dreary old M uncle. The gowns that were patterned to make the eyes of princes pop and cause duchesses to despair must now be profaned by being paraded for the plebian and uncomprehending gaze of such miserable yokels as old Hitchcock. Doc Mix and George Lockwood. It is all decidedly sad and our sympathies are all with the outraged lady. She has been robbed of that more blessed than a birthright. Ft. Wayne News. Om DOLLAR IHPIOMACY. The ambassadorship to Argentina is reported as going begging because the administration is not able to find a suitable millionaire who :s willing to J accept the post. That is, indeed, a re markable condition in the diplomatic affairs of a republic. Ours is a government of the people. We are supposed to pick our representatives from among the rank and tile of our population, and on merit. Yet. such is the situation in which we find ourselves, only wealthy Americans who are willing to spend their own money freely are eligible to represent us at the capitals of the world. The present defect in our diplomatic service precludes making appointments solely on merit. A poor man or a citizen in moderate circumstances is barred from many of the most important diplomatic posts. The situation is unworthy o: us as the world's greatest republic. Furthermore it weakens our diplomatic staff and creates a wrong impression among the citizens of our neighbor nations. Wo send a succession of multi-millionaires to be our foreign ambassadors and ministers. They may have diplomatic ability, but their chief claim to distinction very often is founded on the lavishness of their expenditures. Each tries to make a regal splurge to his own glorification and in the name of the United States. It is undemocratic and unamerican. We should lose no time in placing our diplomatic posts on a basis that would open them to all Americans of ability, regardless of wealth. The first step toward that end would be to provide suitable embassy buildings at foreign capitals, and to maintain them. The buildings should be in keeping with the dignity and importance of the United States and they should be maintained on that stale. Much depends on the impression foreigners, particularly in the Orient, obtain from our representatives among them. They judge us by what they see of us in their own country. We should impress them as on a par with other world powers, but not as a race of money-spending millionaires. A suitable embassy building equipped and maintained as befits this country would cost no small sum. in any case. Our ambassador is called upon to do much entertainment that is a part of hie service to the country, and iie ciuntry should foot th

bills. Then there w'ould be no spectacle of succeeding ambassadors tring to outshine predecessors, and iu scramble to find suitable quarters every time we change administration at home. Mne ambassador would move in as another moves out xt.d. so far as would be apparent to foreigners. Would be on exactly the same basis. Our embassy and its .. f upants would stand for something definite and stab!. in th ruin !- f the forej gners. and we would ! enabled to pick men of merit, not !r, r... ly men of money to repre. r,t u abroad.
