It has been said that Germany began the present war for a purpose, accord ing to plans laid by Bismarck in 1872. The purpose of this war was and is the subversion of England. Everything points that way. To effect this sub version, a big foreign trade, a big mercantile marine and a big fleet of battleships were necessary. Bismarck was shrewd and pliable, like all poli ticians. When he had power he was as inflexible as steel; when his victim was strong and obstinate, he could create a diversion, like a mother cajoling an angry babe. He reconciled France to the defeat of Sudowa. He lulled England to sleep on the acquisi tion of Schleswig-Holstein. Russia was quieted as to Alsace-Loraine by having her attention diverted to China. Prussia consolidated the German Em pire, organized the finest army on the globe and built a formidable navy, all in twenty-five years. During the process of these prepara tions England found her hands full by the Boer war and the threat of in surrection in India. All this was in stigated by Germany. At tho same time France was given a ball to play with. She was encouraged to make en croachments in Tunis and Morocco, This would excite the jealousy of Italy and insure full occupation for Italy and France for the next thirty years. But Italy got too jealous. She seized Tri poll, and that act came near tearing up Germany’s playhouse. It brought about bad feeling in the Triple Al liance. Russia, the finest conjurer in diplomacy the world ever saw, was beaten into imbecility by the Germans at her own game. Russia was instiga ted to have aspirations in the far East. She was encouraged to make en croachments in Manchuria. This acted like hot iron in the skin of Japanese jealousy, but Japan was afraid of Russia and kept quiet. Again Russia was nudged and Ger many suggested that she try some en croachments in Korea on the Yalu river, In the meanti no Japan was urged by Germany to get busy. This scheme worked beautifully. While Russia was thus engaged in tho far East Germany was busy in the near East. She was exploiting Turkey, building railroads reorganizing the Turkish army and fur niHhing officers to command them. She had more than one clash with English interests in Turkey while pushing her lines to the Persian Gulf. Scheldt and Kiel canal, by the En glish navy, ami no longer counts as a factor in the struggle. In fact, the submarine has completely neutral ized and supplanted the battleship, and these fleets Hro. mere offsets to each other. This little sea devil can knock tho monster battleship out with one torpedo, and the big ship has no more Bhow in a contest with one than a rab bit in the jaws of a bulldog. Sub marines now have a radius of 1,000 miles. They Rro making them with a radius of 2,000 miles. One German submarine crossed the North Sea, traversed the Atlantic, entered the Straits of Gibraltar, motored the full length of the Mediterranean fleets into the Dardanelles and never asked for a “handout” or a drink of water on the way. Why, those little sea crabs can sail around tho globe, and don’t cost one-twentieth of the price of a battle ship. Battleships are obsolete. Tho com ing navy is one big fast gun cruiser of ,000 tonB and the omnipotent sub- n arine. Turkey controlled Russia’s outlet from the Black Sea. She lay athwart the route of England to India and she owned the shores of the Persian Gulf. If German influence dominated Turkey without let or hindrance from England and Russia, it would only be a question of time when Germany would dominate India herself, as well as Egypt and the Red Sea. Japan whipped Russia and brought on a change of heart in her feelingB toward England. Russia had long indulged the thought that England was the enemy to be dreaded. The war with Japan taught her that she had been the plaything of Germany. While she was scheming and playing the rascal with China, Germany wae equally busy playing the devil with Russia’s Black Sea trade and her in fluence in Turkey. Englmd and Russia had a sudden inspiration. They both saw at once that they must get together. The re sult was the Triple Entente, in which France was the third party. Every one of them had been deceived so easily and successfully that the Ger man foreign ofllce became arrogant and contemptuous toward the three boobies. All this time Germany was turning out battleships bo fast that in a short time she had the second best navy in the world. England could only keep pace with the rapidly growing German fleet by building two battleships to Germany’s one. This preserved the ratio of power that ootaimd in the be ginning. The war ia on; Russia has do fleet; France has a good one, but it is of no UBe to her. She has never cut any figure in the world’s history with her fleet. Germany's fleet is bottled up in the Bight of Heligoland, the Wants Our Congressman to Get Busy Buena Vista l'atriot. Cotton is not contraband. Hence the South has the right to ship her cotton to any port she chooses without moles tation. When England saw that the price of cotton waB going higher Bhe issued an order to the effect that after March 11 no cotton would be permitted to be shipped to the countries with which Bhe is at war. The result has been that cotton has gone down at least $10 a bale. The North haB no complaint to make against England on account of her ac tion, for the reason that tho manufac tureraof that section will be enabled to iuy their cotton a great deal cheaper. Tho Southern cotton manufacturers have no cause of complaint for the Haine reason. Thu Southern cotton-grower is tho only one who haB reason to com plain. For tho past several weeks tho fur mers have been too busy to give the matter attention. They aro now be ginning to he aroused over tho situation In Judge Frank Park’s district (tho Second) the farmers are petitioning the President to take immediate action in the matter. Our neighbor, Judge Chas Crisp, (of the Third,) is becoming ac tive in behalf of the farmers of his dis trict. In Alabama the farmers are alive to the situation, and the result is that their Congressmen are beginning to do more in their behalf. In our district we have heard of no move on the part of our Congressman At the outbreak of the European war we understood that President Wilson sent for Congressmen Underwood and Adamson and sought their advice as to the cotton situation. Underwood was invited for the reason that he was Dem ocratic leader of the HouBe. Adamson because he was chairman of the great Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. We mention this for the purpose of showing that Judge Adamson is in a po sition to do the farmers great good, if he would only try. During the last Congressional cam paign, when it looked like Marion coun ty was sure to go against the veteran Congresaman, the Judge’s friends pleaded with the people to --end him back so that he could use his great ex perience and influ -nee in behalf of the cotton-grower, and succeeded in carry ing the county by 14 votes. Now it is up to Judge Adamson to make good. It is true that the State Department has had some correspond ence with England on the subject, hut there is no earnestness or ginger in the proceeding. Mississippi Raising Coro. Chrlntinn Monitor. Mississippi, long one of tho greatest of the cotton-growing States, and a State to which the criticism on the sin gle crop was largely directed, is rapidly becoming one of the greatest of the corn States. Its acreage of corn has expanded marvelously since the diversi fication propaganda was sot on foot. our years ago corn production in Mis sissippi ran to 28,000,000 bushels, which was considered a tremendous cereal crop for a cotton State. Two years la ter its production of corn reached 60,- 000,(MM) bushels. East year unfavorable conditions lowered the yield to 60,000,- 000. This year, it is estimated, the corn crop will not be less than 100,000,000 bushels. It is a remnrkahie and significant fact that this yield, great bb it is, will just about meet the average annual con sumption of corn in the State. To go hoik no further than 1911, Mississippi had in that year a deficit in its corn crop of no less than 72,000,000 bushels. This it had to meet by buying outside. It did not, for it could not, buy it in tho South, bccauso the rrat of the South also had a corn deficit. The money ta ken in for cotton went out largely for corn and other foodstuffs which tho South could have raised, but did not. Whatever Mississippi farmers who have planted corn this year may obtain for their cotton —and the price per pound may bo low —they can count us gain, for they will not bo compelled to exchange it for food. Moreover, with 100,000,000 bushels of corn at their back they will not because of lack of food or feed be driven to accept the first offer from the cotton buyer, nor will they necessarily, in the event of depression as a result of the embargo, be driven to sacrifice the Btaple at panic prices. A big corn crop in Mississippi, with tho spot cash pric" running between 80 cenlB and $1 a bushel, comes very near spelling economic independence for its farmers. Similar crops in all the South ern S ates would come very near free ing that section of the United States from all tho alarms, and causes o alarm, now connected with tho cotton industry. “LeBB cotton and more corn’ is a slogan the South can adopt not only with profit to itself, hut, temporarily at least, with satisfaction to the rest of the country. A refund of $I5,000,(M)0 is being made to owners of Ford automobiles who pur chased their machines since Aug. 1 1914, in accordance with a promise of the company of that date, that if 300, 000 of its machines should be sold dur ing the ensuing year each buyer would receive a refund of from $40 to $60, The 300,000 point was reached on the afternoon of July 16. The Ford Com pany wishes this refund considered strictly in accordance with ite profit sharing policy. Thinking people will be glad so to regard it, and equally glad to encourage with their approval a policy that, if generally employed, would bring the consumer and the producer to something like the same plane of inter est. The company ia able to carry on this great rebate distribution because of the extraordinary sale of its product, To this sale every purchaser of the year contributed, and in the profits ev ery such purchaser is to share. The thing is remarkable, hut it bears the stamp of equity, and such distributions should be leas remarkable in future.

King Frederick William III. of PruB sia was a man of few words; whatever he had to say waB always brief and to the point, aB the following anecdote Bhows: The King, who was accustomed to in terest himself in all the details of court management, ordered his steward to take special pains to seo that all the carriages and wagons were amply sup plied with food and drink when' ver they left for a journey of a day or so; but it sometimes happened that the steward failed in his duty and dispatched the drivers without any food, giving them a coin, perhaps, to buy what they wanted. That usually meant that the driver went hungry, as he did not have much opportunity to leave his horses and dine at a shop or restaurant. At length the King became aware of his steward’s failure to carry out his orderB, and awaited tho next opportu nity to bring the fact to hiB attention. He had not long to wait. That night the King stopped his coachman as he entered the courtyard, and upon inqui ry found that he had had nothing to eat Bince breakfast. He held out a dollar in his hand that the steward had given him to buy food with. Without a word the King took the dollar. He went inti the castle and summon ed the steward. That worthy appeared immediately and made a profound bow; hut, as he raised himself up, he wsh surprised to feel a coin placed against his mouth. “Eat it!” ordered the King. “But, your Majesty, I—” “Eat it!” tho King again roared. “Why, your Majesty, I can’t eat it!” “Oh, you can’t? B it you expected the coachman to! Well, in the future just remember that—that people eat food, not monoy. Do you understand?” The steward understood; in the fu ture the King’s coachmen were amply supplied with provisions whenever they went upon a journey. A youth of loafing means an age of want, unless a fellow has a wife who can marry his daughter to some money- viper’s son. Diarrhea Quickly Cured. “About two years ago I had a severe attack of diarrhoea which lasted for over a week,” writes W. C. Jones, Buford, N. D. "I became so weak that I could not Btand upright. A druggist recommended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved me and within two days I was as well as ever.” Ob tainable everywhere. The Ocklawaha River. The Ocklawaha river, in Florida, is perhaps the most tortuous and winding river in the world. A pilot told his pas sengers that in its course of one hun dred and thirty-five miles fiom Palatka to Silver Springs, there were nine hun dred and thirty-five bends; some quite U shaped. The river is extremely narrow, though the waters are deep; and, as its banks are clothed with dense and tropical fo liage, the extending branches often scrape the steamer’s rail, not infre quently sweeping away a shutter, or other portable accessory. By night tho searchlight from the bow casts its rays into the jungle on either side, while it illuminates and dis pels the black shade of tho winding river. Then, with the sun and the mor- the boat glides on to the mirror like watorB of Silver river, so clear and transparent that all things—a plunging turtle, a poised log, the boat itself, seem suspended in mid-air. Still the branches of tho jungle cast their shade upon the stream, which is lined with palms and cypresRea draped with countlnaaloopinga of gray-green mosses. The voyage con tinues on this crystal pathway, until the boat enters the broader wateraof Silver SpringR, the source of Silver, Ocklawa ha and St. Johns rivers. The pilot tells of a time, when he was quite a boy, (but oven then held the wheel as the steamer plied from Palat- ka to Silver Springs,) when this winding river-way was the only mute by which produce was transferred from tho inte rior to the coast. That was b fore the development of the Florida East, Coast railroad. It’s a Long Way to Peace. Albnny Hojnlrf. Approximately 4.000,000 more men are under arms in the armies of the Al lies than nre arrayed against them un der the Oprmnn, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish lings, but it, is A numerical ai- periority perhaps fully offspt by the better preparedness and equipment of the Teutons. There nre approximately 13 000.000 men in the armies of Great Britain and her allies, and nearly 9 000,- 000 in the vast military organization ar rayed against them. So far as it is possible to see at this Rtago of tho great conflict, the war will last a long timn yet. It is impossible to quickly crush a military alliance sup ported by 9 000,000 fighting men, and the 9,000,000 cannot, of course, crush 13,000,000. There will ho a constant swinging of the pendulum from side to side as the varying fortunes of war ebb and flow, but not within the coming year will there be anything like a deci sive triumph of arms on either aide. There seems to be, therefore, no rea son to revise the opinion generally ex pressed in the early stagea of the con flict that it is to be a war of resources rather than of men and guns. Gold and bread and not gunpowder and projec tiles will turn the scale at the last, and tho side with the deepest war chests will dictate terms of peace.
