The resignation of William Jennings Bryan as secretary of state indicates quite clearly that there win be no back ing down on the part of the United States in its demands upon Germany. Esther Germany must curtail its sub marine warfare to such an extent that sea tragedies like the Lusitania horror will never be repeated, or she will lose the official countenance of this repub lic. War may soon follow the sever ance of diplomatic relations. President Wilson stood for firmness, and with the single exception 'of Bryan was supported by every member of his cabinet. Bryan stood for conciliation not to say vacillation and weakness. A great pacificist, the author of thirty arbitration treaties, he would tempor ize at a time when Mars is so plainly in the ascendant that even the United States must read the portent. It is improbable that Germany will recede an iota from the privilege of using her submarines at her pleasure, of sinking passenger boats and merch antmen when she sees fit, of drowning non-combatants when they get in the way. The so-called rules of "civilized warfare" will be broken when she wills. In this respect Germany isjiot illogical, since no warfare can be civ ilized, and making rules for it Is like trying to regulate a Jungle battle be tween gorillas and orang outangs. From the standpoint of its material welfare, and laying altruism and ideal ism aside, the United States would perhaps lose little and might gain much through entering the war as an other German opponent. As a neutral which neither side is able to use to its advantage, both sides are beginning to hate and despise us. The English are coldly critical, the French sneering, the Germans frankly hostile. The Germans are especially wrathful be cause some of our factories ship am munition to the Allies, not stopping to realize that if Germany were not rhut off from the high seas she alo would be our customer. The World's Work estimates that we furnish from one eighteenth to one-twentieth of one per- cent only cf the ammunition used by - the Allies, so that the German have very little reason to hat u on thl ground, Th point i that they do hat ua-just bit less cordially than If they wer actually at war with us. Th prospect, w may suppo, not lost upon th admlnlatretion that It the United States remains neutral utvler further provocation from Ger many, it will aland aloof In Interna tional regard at th close of th wr, no matter how th war ahoukt snd. Th III feeling of Franc and England that we are not one with them will hav become crystallised into animos ity. To German dUlik will hav bee added contempt of us that w a ere so spineless and easy. Perhaps also th prospect I not lost upon th adminis tration that if we now become on with th Allies they will protect us later on from whatever designs J span may hav upon as. Moreover, deeplt th awful damage and perhaps signal defeat that Germany would b able to inflict upon us in dual combat, ah is now in position to do us little hurt. Calculations of this tort may sound selfish and cold-blooded, but we'll b bound that they are receiving attention at this moment In high official circle. Germany la doomed to ultimate de feat W said so when th war start ed, and its prosTisa has hut strength ened our view. Despite her wonderful fight; th odds are ton heavy against her. W will say again that had Bis marck been living and In power she would never hav found herself In such desperat plight, since he would hsve awaited a time when Germany eouki hav mad it plainer to the world that she was more sinned against than sin ning. There would be much more of sympathy for th Fatherland wer it not so manifest that she could if she would hav avoided the war which has brought such misery upon the whole of Europe. Self-interest, then, would prompt the United States to aid in the almost in evitable defeat of Germany, since if it continues neutral it is threatened with political as well as geographical isola tion. War with Germany is therefore a probable development of the next few weeks. It is certain to follow any further loss of American lives through German submarine activity. Uncle Sam is infinitely patient, but knows quite well that he haa almost reached the point when his patience will b re garded aa cowardice.' OAD R THE HFA.V.

Whoever ontere the ring for a rough and tumble fight with public opinion Is pretty sure, eventu ally, to be "knocked out." Society Is a Brlacrus, and who would think of encountering with a Single pair of flat, a hundred-armed fellow T Bet ter shake the multitudinous hand of the giant, good nsturedly, than un- necesaarily provoke lUe wrath. De spise the world If It so please you. but ss you hsve to live In the world end to lean on the world, It Is Just sa well to treat It dvllly. Shrewd men, who understand their race, never seek a quarrel with society.. They under stand that It Is possible for an individ ual to lead and quietly control a com munity, but not to fight It down and not to force It to their way of thinking by means of narrow laws. If you do sire to reform supposed or real evils or disabuse your fellow men of their prejudices, the surest way not to suc ceed Is to resort to denunciation and abuse. Kindness, conciliation and the Influence of a good ,eampl these are the true and effective means of reform. Exchange. TOAST TO LAUGHTER. Here's to Isughter, the sunshine of the soul, the happiness of the heart. the leaven of youth, the privilege of purity, the echo of innocence, the treasure of the humble, the wealth of the poor, the bead of the cup of pleas ure. It dispels dejection, banishes blues and mangled melancholy: for It's the foe of woe, the destroyer of depression, the enemy of grief; It Is whst kings envy peasant, plutomts envy the poor, the guilt envy the ! nocent; It's the sheen on the silver of smiles, the ripple on the wster's de light; the glint of the gold of glad ness; without It humor would be dumb, wit would wither, dimples would disappear and ' smiles would shrivel, for It's a glow of a clean con science, the voice of a pure soul, th birth cry of mirth, th swan song of sadness. Exchanre. What Do Ton Know? Do you know that aa editor or a re porter for a newspaper can In his rounds stop and ask a hundred per sons. "What Is the newer snd ninety out of the hundred will reply, "Noth ing special," snd yet 10 out of that number know something that, if not found In the next psper, will aston ish them greatly and disappoint them more, and perhaps make them madder than hornets? Don't be afraid to let the newspaper man know it. - , WESTON LOSES TO OSBURN'S CREW 1U4.IH1 In Blto of Colon. lkvJ .III gall Ik fats SB-Ill -1 r.
