.MOBILIZATION OF AGRICUL-
" ' TURE. I
Until recently the Old World
and the New kept the even tenor
of their ways, seeming to travel
the pathway, when, with the sud
denness of a cyclone, the whirl- (
yind of war enveloped the Old
World, in its deadly sweep, sajs
David Lwbin. ' i
Billions of rifle bullets, million
of cannon shells continuously!
fly on their deadly errand, bring-;
ing in their train grievous sor-,
row which, likethe onrush of
a mighty flood, overwhelms all
in its path.
The sinewy laborer, harness
ed to his daily task, is bound,
pledged to years of serfdom,
toiling to ransom bonds and
their interest. !
As a hungry cat greedily laps
up milk,so the consuming flames
of war are lapping up the wealth
of nations, undermining the stru
cture of our passing civilization. ;
In times gone by it was said. t
"The King is dead! Long livei
the King!" Presently there may i
be cause to say: "Civilization is
dead! Long live Civilization."
And so we live in a time of
jcrisis, not merely a crisis of
death but a crisis of birth, the
death of the old civilization and
the birth of the new.
But what manner of civiliza
tion shall that be?
Shall it not be a civilization
Which shall hurl down the old,
decrepit, fox-like and parasitic
political idols shrined in the nich
es of the social structure?
Shall not these be replaced by
the simple and the truthful?
-Shall it not be a civilization in
which chauvin istic national ad
vantage shall drink and shrivel
before the penetratng rays of
God's most intimate servant,
Justice? i
But what of the quality of
reconstructive power? Aye, that
is it, and the manner of its dir
ection? Its clearness of head.,
its steadiness of hand, its nobil-1
ity of heart upon these rests the
case.
And where are we to find these !
qualities? Among the combatan
ts. Behold them. Like infuriated !
bulls with locked horns they are
tightly braced, blinded by hatoj
and drunk with destruction j
But beyond the great sea.i
peacefully majestic, stands thei
mighty American Republic. Is'
It not there that we should find '
the clear head, the steady hand,
the noble heart?
Is not the Amercan Republic
elect for this very purpose?
Then let her press on in the
work of reconstruction, recon
Btruction that shall evolve for
the world the newer, grander
Democracy, the Democracy
which shall rest upon the prin
cipal that individual welfare is
best served by promoting the
welfare of all the nations.
But Is the Impelling force of
the Republic properly charged,
properly directed for the accom
plishment of this task? How
ran it be bo long as the capital
and the labor of the cities alonr
are the motive powers which !
actuate, this force? EacbTof )
tiefio,, as; w.e, know, is swayed
politically by preconcelyqd no
tions, radically Inslstant n shap
ing things thclrward.
But these should by no means
bo the "all" of the political driv
ing force; there Is another ele
ment, the agricultural element
which must bo brought Into play
an element potentially great wi
a political factor but now dor
mant. The simpler, worthier-
Ideals of this element, whon pol
itically alive, servo as a driven
wedge, riving asunder the ego
tistic political materialism of thw
capital and labor of the cities.
The world conflict now going
on will not have been In vain
for America If It sorve to remind
us of Rome's ancient cry: "See
that the Republic receive no
harm."
And the first thing for us to
"see" is the contrast between
the political strength of the ci
ties and the political impotency
of the country; the defenceless
feebleness of the country and
the armored strength and craft
of the cities, the craft that san
sway legislation by a waive of
the hand, the craft that can
transmute the land-owning far
mers into renters, the craft that
can corral, lasso, and gobble up
the products ot the farm and
then gingerly deal them out to
the consumers as if they we.'.
costly drugs.
If the political driving force is
to remain thus one-sided would
it not be mere mummery to say
that the Republic can supply
"the clear head, the steady hand,
and the noble heart" for the sol
emn service of reconstruction.

RUSSIA MAY SEIZE ALU
OF K. ROMANOFFS MONEY
Former Czar Would Be World's
Richest Man if He Retained
Vast Wealth.
The question ' now Interesting stu
dents of wononili-rt Is what will be
come of tho vast iiroerty holdings or
Nicholas Romanoff, erstwhile oznr of
Russia, mill otlii'r members of the
Romanoff family. The" cs-cmr is said
to have held title to CSI.W,000 acres
of In ml nud to have lnul n personal for
tune Invested In foreign sto. ks uud
bonds. Mow iiiuiu of this will bo
seized by the state Is a matter or con
jecture. Tho Romanoff holdings In America
are said to lie the largest of any for
eign Investor. The czar Is said to own
$50,000,000 of tho stock of the IVnnsyl
vuu!a railroad. The holding U not In
his name, of course.
Mueli of the czar's cash is on deposit
hi the Bank of England, flo Is said to
have kept from 50.000,000 to 100.000.
000 ou deposit there ut all times.
Uls real estato includes the most val
uable mineral lands in Russia, and
into his private coffers every veur
flowed one-third of the gold and silver
output of the empire.
It Is hardly likely that Russia will
permit the czar to retire as the richest
man In the world. Ono of tho tlrst du
Ues of the new minister of Unaucc will
bo to devise means of transferring bis
wealth to the empire
A proposal Is said to have been made
to turn over the czar's American se
curities In payment of Russia's pur
chases of munitions hero and to guar
antee that tho army would bo supplied
to tho cud or the war. Such wiping
out of Russia's debt to American man
ufacturers would raise tho rublo to al
most double Its present value, finan
cial students declare.

GERARD'S HIGH PRICED EGGS.
Berlin Dispatch Dilates on "Revela
tion." of "Illicit Traffic."
Prussian vigilance has not becu able
thus far to suppress much illicit truf
fle in farm products,, which Is bclug
carried on In devious 'ways In tho ru
ral environments of Berlin.
In the course of revelations which
have been made involving country
landlords who hud been doing a prof
itable business In eggs and bacon It
was discovered that James W. Gerard,
American ambassador, paid farmers In
the viclulty or his hunting grounds 75
pfennigs for eggs. As the mark Btunds
today Unit would be a tritlo over 12
cents each.
Tho man who speaks softly and pays
a big prlco has bad llttlo difficulty In
discovering farm sources whero bo has
been served readily with delicacies not
available In his markets in town. This
species of shopping, however, Is now
being discouraged effectively through
confiscation of food packages arriving
at local railway stations.
Mr. Gerard's price for eggs was not
the high water mark. A woman who
presides over an estuto In tho .vicinity
of Berlin Admitted In n private letter,
of which a local paper obtained posses
sion, that she received nn offer of $2
a dozen for egss.
