This country's slock of gold is far

WHAT THE WAR MEANS
If France la crushed this time she
will he shown no mercy. It will bt
the end of France as a power.
If Germany Wins. She will dominate
Europe as Rome dominated the ancient
world*
If Germany wins the naval battle
with England she will have her iwvrts
free, and will control the commerce
of the world.
Bhould she lose this battle, al>e will
have her ships bottled up or deed toy

These two h(g battles with FYance

"I am not afraid of him," replied
Willie Mouse. “1 am Ruing to rest a

said his mother as she left the table.
"I know where liters I* a big cheese.

Hut Willie did not answer He was
asleep and dreaming of that steel

A ttolse near his hole swnkened him
with a Jump. Tor he thought he saw a

the boles he had made in the steel
wall.
"Hrli." said Willie Mouse, sitting
up and rubbing Ills eyes; "I reckon

lie ran home as fast as he could
w Ith the piece of lilh tooth in one
paw and the other front paw held
over his mouth, for he felt sure all
his teeth would fall out If he did not
hold on.
"What Is the matter?" asked his
mother when she saw him.
“Oh, dear, oh, dear- I broke my
tooth and I know I will starve now,”
ho replied.
"f told you not to gnaw at that
steel wall," said his mother. “You
will have to go to the old Dentist
Mouse up In the barn."
"It wasn't the wall," said Willie
Mouse "It was a very soft looking
bos. but It wogn't soft at all. Will
It hurt much?" he asked.
"Not much," said the mother. "1
do not think he will take out the
part lu your mouth. He will very
likely put the broken plere hack '
Old Dentist Mouse looked at Willie
over his glasses, and then at the
broken piece.
"Very bad. very bad." he said. "I
will have to get some glue and put it
back, hut you cannot eat anything
for a whole day and night—lt must
get perfectly hard first.
Willie Mouse opened his mouth
very wide, and old Dentist Mouse put
In a spoonful of glue and then placed
the broken piece on the place where
It had been before.
Willie Mouse went home and went
to sleep, but when he awakened ns

He was very glad when It was time
the next day to go to the barn, for he
v.as so hungry he could hsrdly walk.
Old Dtnilsi Mouse removed the
bandage and told Willie Mouse to
open hi* mouth That was easier
said than done, however, for the glue
had hardened and held his mouth
tight, so he could not move it.
Dentist Mouse scratched his head
"Very bad. very bad.” he said, ”1

\nd drill he did. He took a long
nail, and Willie Mouse thought lit*

Most of the “War News” Comes
From England
Let German, Austrian and Other Citizens Remember
That and Be Not Discouraged.
Copyrighted 1914 bv Star Company.
Those interested in the war because of German or
Austrian descent must not be too much discouraged by
the “war news’’ widely published, and to be published, if
it seems against their hopes.
Those whose interest is based on relationship with
France or England or Russia must not be too much or un
duly elated by good news in the "war bulletins.”
Let readers remember that this newspaper, and others
that are managed conscientiously, are giving as quickly as
possible every despatch, every rumor, every “piece of
news,” giving the origin of the news and rumors, but
vouching only for official statements.
Remember also that American newspapers get their
news very largely FROM ENGLISH SOURCES. This is
especially true now, since in Germany, France, Italy and
Russia the censorship makes it almost impossible to send
out despatches.
The great majority of the correspondents of American
newspapers---the most important correspondents at least
.--are located in England.
The “war news” that comes here is largely filtered
through English press associations. English war corres
pondents, and naturally the color that is given voluntarily
or otherwise is in favor of England, France and Russia
and against Germany and Austria.
This must be remembered by those who would intel
ligently construe the war bulletins and give to each as
nearly as possible its fair value.
ENGLAND BUYING SUGAR HERE
Tries to Purchase 500.000 Bags but Get*
Only 75.000.
New York- The Rritiah government
tried to buy 600,000 hags of refined su
gar in New York yeaterday and succeed
ed in making contracts for only 75,N»0
bags. According to the refiner* ard
broker* the agents of the government
were willing to accept the sugar on board
British or American vessels and take
the war risk. For the sugar actually
purchased, it was said, the price paid
was 4.45 cents, although the sugar' re
finer* with good* to *ei! abroad ad
vanced their price to 5 cents later in the
day.
All the sugar markets here were In an
excited atate by reason of the war. Raw
sugar Jumped from 3.52V* to 3.59. and it
the close the heat offer was 4.26 and the
beat bid 4.4!. At the top price of the
day transactions were made In ’5 600
bags.
While the American Bcggr Refining
Company held tte quotation on refined
nominally at i% cents It was understood
that the company sir prepared to meet
only the neede of its regular customers
on special terms
It is expected that France will soon be
1n the market here for sugar Th* war
at the moment is largely In the sugar
beet growing districts of Germany and
France, with the harvest near, and it Is
not probable that any large port of the
beets will be saved. If Far East sup
plies are cut off by the war. according
to tha sugar interests. Greet Britain and
FYanee will have to depend large y on su
gar from New York*
$1.60 —or an advance of 300 per cent.
Some seasons when apples sell for
40 to 60 cents per peck in Chicago,
farmers cannot get enough from local
buyers to pay for the picking, rack
ing and hauling, so let thousands of
bushels fall to the ground and rot,
while thousands of tamiles are de
prived on account of the high retail
price, who would be glad to pay 25
cents per peck, or $3.25 per barrel.
Remedy? Co-operation. The Lo
cal Thrift Committee of the Ameri
can Society for Thrift are to work
it out.
OUR CITIZENS HELD IN GERMANY.
There would seem to be occasion for
urgent effort on the part of the state de
partment to relieve the Plight of the hun
dreds of Americans detained in Ger
many because of the outbreak of war.
'lhe pretence for holding them, that mil
itary secrets might leak out through
their being permitted to return homo,
seems too flimsy for serious considera
tion. Presumably the detention Is only
temporary and arises from the fact that
every official activity and channel of
transportation la Imperiously used for
war.
The detention of these people is partic
ularly harsh becaree in Germany a *
prices are likely to rise to famine height
at once, owing to the hemmed in situa
tion of the empire. It can hardly be
hoped that money is more plentiful for
foreigners there than In France or Eng
land. Neither la there any reason to
think that the government has time to
trouble Itself about the comfort or even
the eustentnee of Its unwilling gueeti
On the contrary, the latter are liable to
be tl e object* of suspicion on all hands.
Doubtless Germany is ss eager
get rid of them as they are to escape. It
Is for the American government to de*
vis# means for relisvtng and removing
these its cltiiens Germany Is pla »ng
for the greatest stake In her history.
Tourists are nothing to her. Their *wn
government must do Its best to aid them.
