ALL IN THE GAME TP HOUGH the destruction! of the Lusitania was a performance of striking interest to this country how can the incident in anyway change the status of the United States with reference to the warring nations? The Lusitania was an Eng lish ship, flying the English flag, loaded chiefly with Eng lish passengers and carried ammunition for use of the al lies against Germany. For many weeks a state of siege has existed surrounding Great Britan and adequate warning was given by Ger many that vessels entering the forbidden zone would be sunk. Just prior to the sailing of the Lusitania specific warning was given that the ship might be attacked. - Under such circumstances why should there be any great clamor because the Lusitania was sunk? If a German liner carrying passengers and am munition to Germany from New York had been discovered by the English would not the ship have been captured or de stroyed? There was nothing more pi ratical about the sinking of the Lusitania than there would have been about the sinking of a German liner by the English. It is all in the war game and it is Europe's affair, not ours. NE of the most important features of the road problem in this county is that brought to the front by the use of trailers by auto trucks. The merit in the trail er lies in the fact that a man, a horse, or a machine can haul more than it can carry. This principle is just as true of an auto truck as of a rail- road locomotive. It is said that by use of trailers equipped with a device to make them track an auto truck may pull an enormous load over a good . road. Over a hard surface road with easy grades it will be possible, it is claimed, to take great loads of wheat to me Loiumoia river at low op erating cost, thus making the cost per bushel very low. It would be interesting to have a practical demonstration here of the use of the auto truck and the Troy trailers Nothing could serve better to illustrate the value of hard surface road work than to show local people in" unmis takable manner how the draw bar pull may be utilized by the farmer as well as by the rail road. If such a demonstration can be arranged here, as would seem possible, and the trailer can be used as claimed, there will then be left no room for doubting the expediency of hard surface connections with the Columbia river. SOUTH AMERICAN SCHOL ARSHIPS. f -" ' THROUGH the efforts of ly the United States minis ter to Venezuela 110 scholarships in American col leges and universities are to be given to young men of Vene zuela. It is a line of action which if carried through and applied to other South American nations as well as to Venezuela will bring the United States in clos er touch with the southern hemisphere. In connection with the ef fort to have young men from South America trained in the United States it is suggested that students from this coun try be sent to Brazil, Argen tine, Chile and Venezuela for education. We may learn from them as well as they from U3. CURRENT THINKING ENGLAND AND THE WAR THINKING AS EXERCISE fl HAT it helps a man phy- sically as well as men tally to use the power of thinking is a point upon which there has been little said, but it is a topic of decided interest. An eastern medical author ity recently said : The following Interesting discussion of the attitude of England in the pres ent war appears as the leading edito rial in "The London Times" in its is ue of March 8. 1915. There are still, it seems, some Eng lishmen and Englishwomen who greatly err as to the reasons that have forced England to draw the sword. They know that it was Germany's fla grant violation of Belgian neutrality which filled the cup of her Indigna tion and made her people Insist upon war. They do not reflect that our honor and our Interest must have compelled us to join France and Rus sia, even if Germany had scrupulous ly respected the right of her small neighbors and had sought to hack her way into France through the eastern fortresses. The German chancellor has insist ed more than once upon this truth. He has fancied, apparently, that he was making an argumentative point against us by establishing it. That, like so much more, only shows his complete misunderstanding of our at titude and of our character. The inva sion system of crime which followed it, have indeed very deeply movel us. Like Germany, we had given our word to uphold Belgian neutrality. Unlike Germany, we felt bound in honor to keep the word we had given. But we know very well that, in keep ing It. self-interest has gone hand in hand with honor, with Justice and with pity. Why did we guarantee the neutrality of Belgium. For an Im perious reason of self-Interest; for the reason which has always made us re flBt the establishment of any great power over against our east coast; for the reason which made us defend The Netherlands against Spain and against the France of the Bourbons and of Napoleon. We keep our word when we have given it. but we do not give It w ithout solid, practical reasons, and we do not wet up to be international Don Quixotes, ready at all times to redress wrongs which do us no hurt Heir Von Bethmann-Hollweg l quite right. Even had Germany not Invaded Belgium, honor and Interest would have united us with France. We If there is any one fact that "a refused, it i true, to give her or research has tiuu"a ,ni L"p.7 ibfx rnumem. v e imu, .. v -1 . , many years past led both to under stand that If they were unjustly at tacked they might rely upon our aid. This understanding had been the pi vot of the European policy followed by the three powers. It had been, as Germany herself acknowledged, a powerful factor In the preservation of European peace. England had drawn advantages from it as well as her partners. She would have stained her honor forever If. after she had acted with them In fair weather and had countenanced recent scientific definitely proved it is that the harder a man thinks provid ed he is interested in what he is thinking about the richer his blood will become, the more rapidly it will circulate and the more smoothly will run the processes of his physi cal organism. "Most people labor under the false belief that the brain is a delicate organ and that ,iitat ii'.mmM, she had slunk away I from them in the hour of danser j Thai was what Hcrr von Bethmunn Hollweg pressed Us to do. He saw that if we yielded to his seductions and committed this act of baseness, on the pretext that we had not given a technical promise of help to our friends again. To pillory us in such a position ot infamous isolation has Ion been a daring dream of the Milhelmstrasse. Iti would materially advance Germany's schemes of world empire, to which, 1 as she clearly sees, the destruction, or the humiliation, of England is an In dispensable preliminary. But here again, as in the case of Belgium, "honor is the best policy." We joined the Triple Entente be cause we realized, however late In the day, that the time of "splendid iso lation" was no more. We reverted to tour historical policy of the balance o power, and we reverted to It for the' reasons for,. which our forefathers adopted it. They were not, either for them or for us, reasons of senti ment They were self-regarding aud even selfish reasons. Chief amongst them, certainly, was n desire to pre serve the peace of Europe, but It was the chief only because to preserve that peace was the one certain way to pre serve our own. In the event of war we sew. as our fathers had seen, Eng lamKs first line of attack and of de fense in her continental alliances. When we subsidized every State In Germany and practically all Europe, in the Great War, we did not lavish our gold from love of German or of Austiian liberty, or out of sheer al truism. No; we own advantage, and. on the whole, or commitments were rewarded by an adequate return. In this war as we have again and gain Insisted in the "Times" England is fighting for exactly the same kind of reasons for which she fought Philip II, Louis XIV and Napoleon. She is fighting the battle of the op pressed. It is true, in Belgium and in Serbia, and she rejoices that she . is standing with them against their tyr ants. She is helping her great allies to fight in defense of their soil and of their homes against the aggressor, and she is proud to pour out her blood and her treasure in so sacred a cause. But she Is not fighting primarily for Belgium or for Serbia, for France or for Russia. They fill a great place in her mind and in her heart. But they come second. The first place belongs and rightly belongs, to her self. It is for her and for her em pire that her sons have been strug gling and dying In the trenches and on the field of Picardy and Artois; that her fleet holds Its ceaseless vigil in the North sea, and that its guns have been heard from the Pacific to the Dardanelles. Our soldiers and our sailors are de fending their homes and the homes of their countrymen on French soil or in Turkish waters Just as truly as though they were facing German troops In Norfolk or German ships off -Harwish. Our enemies are more re mote, but did they crush our allies, as they presumptuously expected to do, an attack on us would not be long deferred. . I Germany boasts that It Is her ap pointed mission to conquer a great world empire, through which she may impress her Ideals upon mankind. Our ideals are the chief obstacles in her path. That consideralon Is the key. to all her world policy. That Is why, she has grasped at the trident. Thatj Is why she has been Intriguing for, years In Egypt, in India and in South , Africa. That is why she has watched our domestic controversies and the supposed symptoms of our decadence' with malignant vigilance. That is whyj she has sought, again and again, to( sow mistrust between us and our partners, and why at last she tried tO( bribe us into treachery. Her object In this war is to shatter: the Triple Entente, but to shatter the . entente in order to destroy the free empire of England to rear upon its ruins a German world empire of mil itarism and bureaucracy. hatred more vindictive than she bears the Belgians or the French. She, hates us because she envies us andj because our honor and our plain sense have broken through the flimsy toils of her diplomacy. It Is to save, ourselves from the deadly conse-j quences 'of her considered malignity that we stand In arms. To shield our homes from the mur- der and the rape, from the organized loot and the systematic arson we have; seen across our seas; to protect the empire our race has reared at so dear a cost; to secure for our children and, for mankind the spiritual heritage ot which It is the embodiment and the j guardian these are the ends for, which we are launching upon the bat-i tleflelds of France the greatest and. most powerful armies our history has ever known; the ends for which Eng land has pledged her last shilling and her last man. f""1 -"'l f1 YT t'" Y"f T-f '! - Y1 T" t1 """!

It is about as hard for an energetic man to loaf as It Is for a loafer to work. Lots of men would be popular If they would leave their opinions In cold storage. When we can love the men who read gas and electric meters we are real Christiana. Women should remember that the (cant garment always encourages the Immoral man. As a rule, the sinner has to experi ence a physical and financial swat before remorse ever grips him. The greater the distance between us and the old homestead the more attractive It always seem.
