Keep a watch on your words, young people, For words are wonderful things; They are sweet, like the bees’ fresh honey. Like the bees, they have terrible stings! They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine. And brighten a Isnely life; They can cut in the Htrifo of anger Like an open, two-edged knife. Let them pass through your lips unchallenged If their errand is true and kind — If thoy come to support the weary, T# comfort and help the blind; If a bitter, vengeful spirit Prompts tfio words, let them be unsaid; They may flash through a brain like lightning. Or fall on the heart like lead. Steady! The World’s Rests on Us. Burden Philadelphia Public Ledger. There is but one great nation which has not abrogated the institutions of civilization and substituted therefor the rule of the rifle and the machine gun, the modern bow and arrow, clubs and spears of barbarism. The progress of twenty centuries is in the keeping of the United States. The inconceivable has happened—the impossible is about to occur. No man cun foretell what atrocities will be per petrated in Europe. A leap back to the Dark Ages would be no greater mar vel than the mad rush which has swept the trustees of civilization into an ele mental death grapple. The catastrophe is already great; each day its magni tude will be greater. In the ruin, not of villages, but of whole cities and of whole countries, men’s brutal passions will be roused. They will know riot what they do; the descent to Avernus is easy; but the plodding hack to sun light is slow and tedious. Discard as of minor importance the material aspects of the situation. We cherish peace. It has been our national blessing. It has leveled our mountains, united our oceans, coixed wealth from field and fo est and mine. It has brought together the diverse races of the earth and moulded them into a composite citi zenship which has reveled in the achieve ments its multiple virtues have at tained. Peace, and the likelihood of peace, has been America's lodestone. Every material consideration demands it. An excusable national selfishness is for it. Hold steady! There is a great, a more inspiring reason why this nation in this crisis must stand firm for peace and keep its head. There is a "Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World." The name was a prophecy. Our embassies abroad are representing all nations. Each capital has turned to us as the ar biter of justice. Some are urging us, as the sole sentinel left, to see that the established rules of warfare are main tained. From Europe weary eyes, that will be yet more Weary, are turned to ward this temple of peace which we have builded here. In our keeping is the hope of tho world, what is left of justice, spiritual and moral aspiration, achievement in the arts and sciences. Stop, look and listen! This is not a game. The passions of millions are aroused. We must make no mave to im peril our sacred trusteeship. Better no commerce at all than a policy which may shatter the foundations of our neu tral status. There must be at Wash ington a calmness, a deliberation, a sli wness of policy, that will assure the maintenance of our position. Cool heads are at a premium. The awful responsi bility with which destiny haH burdened us must he accepted. We hear the white man’s burden, and the yellow man’s and the brown man’s. The whole weight of civilization rests here—to be protected, preserved and fostered. Never in the history of the world was a government charged with a more solemn task. It silences dema gogues, hushes mere babblers, cuts short tho speculation of thoughtful men and dedicates them without reserve to the one great problem of meeting the terrible exigency with wisdom and with courage. The cataclysm cannot he ex aggerated nor the prodigious part the United States must play in it magnified. It iB as if hut one light were left burn ing in the world—one glowing coal from which exhausted nations in the ev.ning of the carnage must renew warming civilization. Our Government must stand steady. It must push aside all radicalism and at tune its conservatism to the unparal leled world situation. It, speaking for the American people, is the only great calm voice left—a voice to which mil lions will look for comfort when at last it is heard above the thunders of the guns.

ISc. Germans Drag Guns Across Hu man Bridge. Associated Press. London, Aug. 26.—The correspondent of the Daily Mail describes a visit among the French who were wounded in the battles of the Vosges and have been brought to Vichy, whose palatial hotels have been transformed into hos pitals. “I talked with many of these wounded," he said. "Three men who fought side by side were in one of the hospitals. 'It iB probably our own fault that we are here,’ one of them said. ‘Our major fell at the first volley, and then all the other officers at succeeding volleys. When we found ourselves without officers, we, not bothering about what was going on at the front, rear or flank, fixed bayonets at 1,200 yards and went at them singing all the way. We were just fifty yards from the enemy when we were downed.’ “On an adjoining cot was a sturdy peisantwho told me this story: ‘At Cirey a spent shell fell full on my knap sack, sending me sprawling face down wards. I didn’t stir, expecting every moment to be blown to atoms. After what seemed a half hour, seeing that the shell had not exploded, I hunched up my shoulder and the shell gently rolled off. It is a pity it was so big, otherwise I should have brought it back as a trinket for my sweetheart.’ "A wounded artilleryman contributed the following experience: ‘I witnessed one horrible Beene. Tho Germans were shooting from the deep trenches among which our artillery was doing terrible work, but as fast as one German dropped a fresh man took his place, un til bodies of the Germans were on a level with the surface of the earthworks. At this moment a German battery was ordered to advance. The heavy wheels sank in the trench, but the drivers fu riously lashed their horses and finally dragged the guns across the human bridge.’ ” Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "My attention was first called to Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy as much as twelve yoara ago. At that time I was seri ously ill with summer complaint. One dose of this remedy checked tho trou- h'e,” writes Mrs. C. W. Florence, Rockfie'.d, Ind. For sale by all dealers. Fateful Summer Weeks. Chicago Herald. Nine weeks ago a feeble-minded Ser vian youth fired the shots that slew the heir to the HapBburg throne. The trag edy was regarded as making for the peace of Europe rather than for war, since Francis Ferdinand was believed to have held very drastic views about the course that should be taken toward the Balkan States. The Vienna government sought, how ever, to indict the whole Servian people for the crime. Little Servia accepted eight of the eleven demands of her big neighbor unconditionally, accepted two conditionally, and rejected one only conditionally. Servia’s submission was denounced aH "filled with the spirit of dishonesty,” and five weeks ago Vien- nu declared war. Then came the deluge! Russia re fused to resign her long accepted role of "big brother” to the minor Slavic States. As Russia would not cease from moving to the rescue of Servia the German Emperor felt bound to move to the aid of his ally of Vienna. Four weeks ago Berlin declared war upon Russia, and the German armies seized "neutralized” Luxemburg and demand ed free passage through independent Belgium for the invasion of France. How Belgium resisted, and appealed to England for aid; how England re jected what her prime minister termed "the German bribe,” and sent out her fleets; how war has since raged along the Meuse and the Danube, on the plains of Poland, and in nearly all the seven seas; how nations which had not part or lot in the quarrel have felt its de structive shocks—that iB the history of the last four weeks. What will the next four weeks—the next eight weeks—bring forth? Will they see France crushed, England crip pled, Russia repelled and Belgium over whelmed? Or will they see Germany ringed with fire and the Austro-Hunga- gian empire in the throes of death? These are the questions raised, and to be answered, in these fateful summer weeks of 1914.
