1 of Englishmen did business in Berlin
and other German cities. It is noth
ing but absurd falsity to say that these
men, and women for that matter, bid-1
ed their time among an alien people
with hate in their hearts: and, meta- {
phoricaily speaking, with dirks in their
sleeves and guns hidden about their
persons.
It cannot be truthfully sail of the
people
of any country engaged in the
I
present stupendous conflict that they ’
were responsible for that conflict, in
will and desire either in its inception
or its planning. When It came, like a
boit from the blue, the people respond
ed to the call of national patriotism;
but it was not because of a fighting
demand to kill the other fellow across
the channel or across the border.
It is even more ridiculously ab-urd
to contend that the pressure of public
opmion—rating public opinion as we do
in this country- iirove Austria, Russia
or Turkey into war. The people fight
valiantly because the war lords told
t ern it was their duty to fight. For
those same war lords to shift responsi
bility by the apology that war was
made because the people demanded it
is fiction, for which we sometimes use
a synonym, familiarly known in this
country as the ‘‘shorter and uglier
w rd.”

Spring is here, the weather is fine
And “The World is Growing Better 9
Lots of beautiful Days are spoiled by the fellow who can’t
help thinking “There’ll be a Storm before night.”
ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED.
The present issue of the Post, is No 1, Volume 9, the
eighth year of it’s existence closing with last weeks issue.
For more than six years past the paper has been under
the present management and during that time1 it has been
the aim of the paper to advocate those things that tend
to the betterment of the town and community and to give
our readers a paper as good as possible under the condi
tions existing.
We have tried to faithfuly report everything of a local
n iture that is news proper for publication and likely to in
terest our readers at home or abro id. Our notes of the
doings of the courts, while brief, have been accurate and
reliable and have been commended by several patrons.
A? to happenings in the state and nation at large, we
have endeavored to mention some of the more important
events specially those of general interest.
During the past six years we have had the steady pa-
tronage of a number of persons and firms in the city, all
of which is greatly appreciated, but in this connection we
desire to mention that there are a number of others doing
business in this city who could use a little printer’s ink
with profit to themselves and this paper. A newspaper
is an index of the community in which it is published and
is so considered by those at a distance: a paper filled with
advertising of the local people indicates a busy, thriving
community of wideawake people, while a paper carrying
few ads denotes local conditions not sought after by pros
pective homeseekers.
We hope to make the Post a better and more readable
paper during the present j ear than it has been in the
past and to this end we need your help. Are you for us
or against us, or are you simply indifferent?

London's Bridges.
At a time when the population of
London was well over n million and
her houses lay for miles on each side
of the river she was apparently well
content with her one Ixmdoti bridge.
At leng.lt in 1734 Westminster was
seized with the desire to have a
bridge of her own. Application was
made lo parliament lor powers only to
encounter the fiercest opposition from
tile city, tile 4 ).()hO watermen, the in
habitants of Southwark and the west
country bargemen, all of whom im
plored the commons to protect them
against this new enemy. The result
was tiiat the bridge was not built till
1750 Black friars, nt first called Bitt’s
bridge, was finished in 17(5!) at a cost
of £260.000. defrayed by tolls Water
loo was opened oil the second anniver
sary of the famous battle with great
pouip by Hie prince regent in person,
accompanied by tils royal brother, the
Huke of York, the Duke of Wellington
mid many distinguished people — Lou-

"No Quarter Given.”
"It Is forbidden to declare that no
quarter shall lie given.” So Muy The
Hague regulations. That is h mote
modern rule tliuu you would think.
The Huke of Wellin’, ton said that he
understood that the defenders of n for-
tress taken by storm had no right to
