Some clay we are going to acnieve some great success

frugality, and so remain inefficient and unsuccessful.
The richest men and the richest corporations are not
above taking care of the pennies. The greatest scientists
are not above study of the smallest insects and seemingly
insignificant things.

The position of a neutral nation in such a war as the
one now raging is very uncertain and unsatisfactory,
because warring nations make international law fit their
necessities. The rules of the war game are very unjust
as it is being played now, but so is everything connected
with war. As a neutral nation we may protest but that
counts little unless we want to get into the fight our
selves, and that is the one thing we are devoutly trying
to avoid. J
Most, of the corner-ETOcerv and newspaper talk about
the current war is from the standpoint of one or the other
of the contending parties. The neutral angle is over
looked. Yet it is wholly from that standpoint that we as
Americans are directly interested in the struggle now
going on.

establishing "war zones" in the open sea adjacent to the, its energy u mniign; i

Mgreement, and have recognized the present-day tact that,
an enemy's shores begin where the lines of shipping con
verge toward his ports. Neutrals, forced by these new
rules to take added precautions, may protest, but they
must remember that war and not peace establishes the
working rules of warfare, and of the privileges of neu-trals-vvithin
the war area. In all probability the end of
the war will bo followed by an international convention
accepting the British-German view of neutral waters,
discarding that hitherto held.
liy common agreement what is or is not contraband
of war is for the nations at war and not for neutrals to
determine. The United States is clear on this point.

THE LITTLE THINGS
Many think that opportunity must be something great
and unusual and that it never comes near them; but the
fact is that the stepping-stone for anyone to a higher
place lies in doing better the very thing ho is doing.
The obstacles to our success usually are not big things
but little things so little that we do not notice them or,
noting, despise them.
