The Gazette makes it plain that Germany does not wish to inter fere with Russia's plans, adding that any step to ward intervention would be considered unfriendly by the czar. In. marked contrast with this declaration on the '; part of Germany is the determination of President Eoosevelt to invite the powers to name delegates to a second peace conference at The Hague. Consider ation of the warlike feelings of the czar has not deterred Mr. Roosevelt. He realizes the need for some concerted action on the part of the powers that will put a stop to the ruthless slaughter of thousands of men, arid has characteristically taken the initiative. Germany is of military government, with which, usually, hunianitarianism is a second consideration. With such governments, it is a matter of slight' con cern that tens of thousands of men fall in battle ' if the military aims of the administration are achieved. Perhaps it was too much to expect of Ger many, hut at all events it is gratifying that her po sition has been thus clearly defined; the president , will not count upon support which will not be forth- wining-.

The iff All rtf natinna murht tn lie innr1nrnrl inct no .Via affaks ef individuals are conducted. Individuals i who. disagree depend upon the civil courts for ad justment; occasionally one kills the other, but he is promptly hanged for the greatest of crimes. Is there any reason why nations should not settle their Eff erences in similar manner f An arbitration court, ompoBal of representatives of all the nations of the world and endowed with the necessary power, ought todbad all disputes between nations, just as civil rarts adjudicate contentious between individuals. "War is barbarous. It demands the lives of inno cent men and leaves desolation in its wake. Almost as k4 3: requires the expenditure of enormous inms thai eould be used to wonderfully advance the mterss af the belligerents , A Japanese statesman las ifKtSmated that the present conflict will entail the expenditure of two billions of dollars. This turn, properly expended, would make Japan a ver iaN paradise, enable her to increase her commer cial niGerest? and provide educational facilities with which- none other in the world could compare. The jum ffiafi Enssia will devote to prosecution of the war would work even greater wonders for the czar's country. But instead of expenditure along these IafB the two nations are placing the funds in the lands of their troops to assist them in the wholesale iesfjrmrtujQ of human life. War k absurd just as absurd as deadly con flict hstween contentious individuals would be. It las no just place in our civilization and should be tm&ratftL Those who stand in the way of this at- put down only by the surgeon's knife. Hut even Barrie and the surgeon did not assail the institution of three square meals. Eating, like all things human, is largely a mat ter of habit, and old habit change before new con ditions, says the Saturday Evening Post. The elab orate and heavy modern dinner is a very recent matter. Most of us renieinlier the simpler midday dinner and ti o'clock supjer of a generation ago. In the middle ages breakfast was unknown. At Oxford it was regarded as an invasion of luxury when students wen1 allowed to get bread and beer at the college buttery to begin the day. Now the Oxonian makes breakfast a function, and invites his friends in to three or four courses. If breakfast and dinner have increased on us lunch must give way. Professor Rabagliati's main plea is for modera tion. He has no rooted objection to three meals, if they are not too "square." In the modem busi ness day. however, he finds no place for lunch. T01 think quickly and right -requires that all the vita forces shall be centered in the head. But no sooner have we given the digestive organs time to male way with one meal than we pile in another, leavin only the sad alternative of slowing down brain wor! or inviting indigestion. Two square meals, eight hours apart, are much more hygenie. At first the change mav bring faintness even headache but so doesthe cessation of any bad habit. In point fact, many business men long ago found out that to omit lunch doubles the day's work. One merchant attributes his success to tlje fact that when he was a clerk he kept a clear brain, and worked it, wbik' lis rivals in the office were stuffing themselves. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., says that he never spends more than tinny cents lor lunch. Hut that, perhaps, is not so much a matter of hygiene. One eaution is necessary regularity. In all the vital organs the power of habit is strong. Most people will find three regular meals better than now three and now two. 00$ O O O O O O O O O O O O O OyXXi)OiXXiXtt o tzufltttomt may be put down as barbarians. THREE SQUARE. MEALS A DAT. Firm in the gospel of three square meals a day, She sensible man has looked with calm upon faddists fdut, satirically disdainful of the farmer who set at to prove on his horse that no food was neces sary imtl would have done so "if the durned crit ter hadn't up an' died"), and scornful of the in valid wlo has to be stuffed like a prize porke? by Dr. Wir Mitchell's rest cure. But now the citadel f Ms belief is threatened. "No lunch!" says Pro fessor Kabagliati in his great work on The Predis posing: Ckuses of Disease, and comes precious near proving that most of us suffer from overfeeding. J. M. Barrie had some such idea when he wrote I fantastic satirical comedy, "Little Mary," the title part and central figure of which is the overfed BirlSsfc stomach. The idle English aristocracy have ive- meals a day the usual three plus afternoon tea and strpper. King Edward used to take seven be-fcr-thc royal Little Mary revolted and "the state f man suffered the nature of an insurrection" WHO IS PROFESSOR WENDELL! . Professor Barrett Wendell, of Harvard, dipping into municipal management and mismanagement. from his lofty height remarks: "Our cities today are governed by the mob made up of all the lower classes. Abraham Lincoln certainly was of the mob but he outgrew his class." There will be distinct relief in the statement of Professor Wendell that the mob is made up of. the lower classes, for, there might have been belief in some quarters that the mob was made up of only the upper classes and wore broadcloth on its rampaging expeditions. : But, apart from the municipal feature, wai Lin coln one of the mob I Was he of the mob, a part of it at any time in his life, from the day on which he first saw the light until the day became a rail splitter, and then a lawyer, and then president and, through it all, one of the noblest, purest, most gentle, most upright, conscientious and grandest of Americans! Abraham Lincoln one of the mob! There never lived a greater, nor a better, nor a truer friend to his fellowman than Abraham Lincoln, nor a more honest man. In all American history there is but one name surpassing his, and that is the name of Washington. But who is Professor Barrett Wendell, anyway! P. A.

It is traceable to primitive Baby lonia', and is found on Hittite monuments of Cap- padocia; it was adopted by Turkoman princes, and also brought to Europe by crusaders in the four teenth century. Apparently the German emperors got it from crusaders and passed it on to Russia and Austria. The Passing of Nicholas Clinton removes a iood citizen from the community. During his 40 years' residence in Astoria Mr. Clinton had been upright and progressive, and for his honest career ho will long be remembered. ,' I SHOES l iiMiiiBinii iMi, iia mi That is our subject.

If the letters of acceptance do not take well with the people, it might be well to charge the New York Evening Post with having written them. Curious, isn't it, that men have always been willing to accept female sovereigns and absolutely refused to accept female voters!
