Specialties Between Acts AFTER PEACE WHAT? A great war is about to close. It has attracted the attention of the human race more amversaly than any conflict in modern times, because there is hardly a nation in the civilized world,' Christian, Mohammed or hea then but intuitively felt when the war began that the' present equilibrium of the world w being jared by the clash of tre mendous armed forces; energiz ed, by the ambition of each ' of the parties to the strife to ma terily change the existing rela- ti"", poh'ically and commer cially among the people of earth. The accomplishment of Rus sia's ambition would place that empire in control of Asia with its half billion of people which added to its present population would make the Czar supreme ruler of about three-fourths of the human race.

The Occident may yet be made to learn with as great surprise as Russia felt at Port Arthur and Mukden the falacy and deceit of tht ego tism that has made the Euro peans believe for centuries that the are superior - to all other people. The time may come when Americana will cease wrap tbe mantle of self couceit about them, pat their pride swollen breasts and proclaim "We are of a superior race power and dominion belongs By the number of inquiries we have had the pest two days parties having vacant houses should not have any trouble in securing occupants.
