AMERICA’S OPPORTUNH Y.
It is the stranRpst and saddest of
paradoxes that the misfortune, and
even the sin of one man or nation, may
he the Rood fortune of another man or
nation.
That there is great and grievous sin
in the great war now going on in the
world nobody questions. The only
question is as to who was, and is, the
greatest of the sinners engaged in this
world-contest. Nobody can settle this
question absolutely, so we may let it
rest for the present, at least.
Rut men of all shades of opinion
nbout different aspects of the great
war are at one on the proposition that
it has brought to the United Slates such
opportunities as have never come to it
before in all ith history.
These opportunities are, in the first
place, material. Our factories have
never had such openings before. The
nations beyond the Atlantic are not
only cutting each other's throats; they
are cutting their own throats. It is
reasonable to suppose that import of
foreign goods will not be as largo again
—certainly not at an early day ub it
was before this war began.
Our agricultural interests will be
greatly benefited. At the close of the
war the nations of Europe will be
naked and hungry, and ready to per
ish from want of all sorts. They must
be fed and clothed; nnd this country
muBt do it. Hence there will arise such
a demand for our corn and wheat and
cotton ns we have never known before,
with a resulting impetus to our farming
interests that has not come to us in
generations.
American commerce will hove — in
fact, has already had- such a field of
profitable activity as it has not had in
fifty yenrs. It is a question of Amer
ican enterprise as to whether we take
our place once more in the carrying
trade of the world; and American en
terprise has not often failed in the hour
of its opportunity.
But the opportunity of this country
is moral us well as material. It is for
us to help the warring people to come
to terms of peace. And, as never be
fore, it is our opportunity to show the
whole world the possibility and right
eousness of ‘‘government by the people
for the people.” One of the issues,
and possibly the most vital issue in
volved in the war, is autocracy against
democracy. However the war may
terminate, the latter will ultimately
triumph. Militarism and imperialism
are the enemies of human freedom and
must die. And the United States can
gladly help to lay them in their graves,
and shod no tears nt their burial.
WHEN WILL THE WAR END?
It is only the truth, reverently
spoken, to say that nobody this Hide of
heaven knows.
Lord Kitchener may or may not have
said what he is credited with saying,
viz; That he did not know when the
war would end, but that it would begin
in May; hut the prediction was true,
whether this old iron-handed, iron-
willed head of the English army made
it or not.
The world has never seen such fight
ing in all its history as it will witness
this summer. No cautious man will
venture to predict what the outcome of
this fighting will be. The Germans
seem to be irapregnably fortified all
nlong the line in Northern France and
Belgium, from the borders of Switzer
land to the North Sea. There would
seem to be no opening anywhere for
a flank movement of the allies. The
German line of defense must be broken
somewhere before there can be any
decisive victory over the forces of the
Kaiser. The concentration of sufficient
forces at some vital point may make
this possible, but the slaughter of men
involved in such a movement is heart-
sickening.
In the east the situation is not quite
so desperate, but even here a drawn
battle has been going on for many
months along a line hundreds of miles
in extent. If the allies in the west had
the same opportunities the Russians
have in the east, it would be possible
for them to inaugurate some offensive
movement of a decisive nature. The I
Russians may ultimately overrun |
Hungurv and Austria, and thus force j
the dual empire to sue for peace; i
there are already intimations that 1
Austria would tie glad to reach terms
with her invaders; but since Austria
really brought the war on by her exac
tions of Servia, it would be nothing
short of treachery for her to desert j
Germany now. But her course was j
cowardly at the beginning, and it would i
not be a matterof surpriseif she should J
prove cowardly at this critical time.
It is estimated that the war has al-]
ready cost four million men killed, |
wounded, or maimed for life. Its cost I
in money is fifty million dollars a day. I
Its indirect cost is beyond human com-1
putation. This cannot go on indefinite
ly. It must stop some time. Exhaus
tion of men and means is inevitable
somewhere, some time, under this ter
rible toll of war. But tins exhaustion
will not come as soon as as we might
suppose. Think how long the Southern
Confederacy stood, and stood under
conditions that were more unfavorable
than cho come to any of the wurring
nations at an early day.
Peace may be ready to. break over
the earth once more, but as yet the
morning star has not sent, its beams of
promise across the dark skies.

The records in the Department of
Agriculture indicate conclusively that
the use of fertilizer during this year
will not be 00 per cent, of the amount
used last season. During the previous
entire season tags were Bold for l,2fi*5,-
098 tons of fertilizers, and of this
amount tags were sold for 1,080,122
tons in January, February and March.
During the first three months this year
tags were sold for 524,032 tons. From
these records we see that the purchases
of fertilizers this year are 50.47 per
cent, of the amount purchased last
year, and we further see that about
live sixths of the fertilizer used in 191)
was purchased by the first of April
or, rather, contracted for. It is evident,
therefore, that the farmers of Georgia
are cutting down their fertilizer bills
one-half. All of this proves conclusively
that the yield of cotton in Georgia this
year will be less than last.
