i & | MAY GAUSE AUSTRIA T0 SUE FOR PEACE London, Sept. 11.—Exultant mes- sages from Petrograd and admissions of disasters in Vienna indicate that the long series of military misfortunes marking the history of Austria-Hun- gary are about to be capped with an unparalleled debacle which may not only open the road to Berlin for the Russian armies but also may bring Austria to sue for peace. 3 The armies in France and Belgium seem as if pausing to watch the fate, ful drama in Galicia, the outcome of which may have tremendous effect on the plans of the invaders infthe east- ern theater of war as well as upon the allies in the West. That Germany is uneasy under this menace is shown in news dispatches from Belgium that the Germans are | rushing reinforcements The German force which has been walting outside of Ghent for the levy of provisions demanded from that city has left hurriedly in a southeasterly direction. NEW POPE WILL TRY T0 END WAR Rome, Sept. 11.——As a prelude to a definite program which the Vatican is about to begin in the interests “of peace between the allies and Austria and Germany, Pope Benedict dis- patched notes to the ambassadors of all warring nations to ascertain the sentiments of their respective gov- ernments relative to a plan for a pa- pal appeal for peace. It is confidently believed here that Austria’s reply will be favorable to Pope Benedict’s program. GUARANTEED PRICES That's what we do, this store will GUARANTEE PRICES AGAINST ADVANCES, for the next ninety days. WHY SO. FOR THIS REASON:--We always buy heavy, last May and June, we bought stock twice as much as as ever before, not because we knew anything about this European war, because we didn’t, but because we expected and looked for a fifty per cent increase in fall and holiday lines, and that would take a whole lot of goods for us. These goods were all bought at the lowest market prices at that time, some goods we bought for this fall season as early as last February, which we bought in large enough quantities to get the lowest prices. ALL of these GOODS are either in the house NOW or in the ware- house, so that we will have the stock and will guarantee that there © will be no advance in our prices until this large amount of goods.ares sold, America being the one country of the whole: civilized world that is sufficient unto itself, we can be prosperous if we ‘meither buy nor v sell a dollars worth of goods in Europe.

London, ‘Sept. 11.—The Times has received the following message from its Petrograd correspondent “L understand that a German army division proceeding along the banks of. the ‘River Vistula formed a van- guard of the German forces hurrying to relieve the hard pressed Austrians and that these reinforcements are ad- vancing by way of Czenstochawa and Kielce. Experienced observers here believe that ‘they will not arrive in time. “I hear on excellent authority that General Samsonofi’s staff officers are all safe, with the exception of one killed. Thus the story that General Samsonoff and all his staff were killed by German shells was evidently false.” . NATION SLEEPS IN JAWS OF DEATH (Continued rrom Page 1.) It is right that we should sieze the opportunity to extend our com- merce by all honorable means, but that commerce must have ample pro- tection or it will not survive. And are we as a nation in a posi- tion to extend that protection? I Repel An ‘Invasion? Have we a navy of sufficient strength to protect our merchant ships at sea and the 4,951 miles of coast line bordering on / the two oceans and the Gulf of Mexico? ‘Have we an army of sufficient size to repel an invasion by a first-class power,-or a -combination of powers? The answer is too pitiful for con- templation. We are as a babe in the arms of a giant. . For years we have depended upon civilization to protect us in our splendid isolation. But civilization is in a state of eclipse. ~ No. longe'r may we expect it to ex- tend. a protecting hand to a nation indifferent to its own security. Right is might in fiction, but fic- Com- mercialism, supported by guns and bayonets and shot and shell, is the domifant factor of today. The Gol- den Rule is yet a dream of the fu- ture Challenge to Others. If we are to float a merchant ma- rine and seek supreme eminence in the world of commerce, we must lerect a-bulwar of might around us or we will inevitably fall. We must tprotect that which we create or its very .presence will be a menace to our security, a challenge to other na- tions, the magnet of a mighty inva- sion. * And when the lion and the lamb meet, the lamb ceases to exist. ol £3 war cannot protect its merchant |ships at sea. And what simpler or more effective method couid European countries de- vise for regaining that which we take from them in their hours of distress than the one of involving us in a long and costly war? Pragtically Defenceless, And what greater incentive could they have than the fact that we have absorbed their commerce while they are battling for what each nation deems to be just and right,”and yet are ourselves practically defenceless against sudden and concerted attack and invasion, by an overwhelmingly superior armed force? Hatred engendered by commercial antagonism is the underlying cause of the world’s greatest war, and it will be ever thus until the day of universal peace is something more than a dream. We do not want war. ‘We want nothing but peace, with the right to pursue an honorable course without hindrance or undue interference. Y An Unquenchable Fire. But to achieve this we must keep ever in mind one salient fact: Our rise. to commercial supremacy will create in the European breast many secret feelings of jealously and an- imosity, and these will smolder and rankle and burn until they .become an unquenchable fire and burst their bonds of confinement. And then the deluge! Europe’s conflict of arms was not unexpected. Ours may come as a bolt from the blue. The only dif- ference lies in the fact that Europe was prepared, and we are not. We ‘are asleep—a nation sleeping in the jaws of death. ‘What will the awakening be? . Fancy Apples. Fancy apples, Wealthies, Hiber- nals and Duchess varieties, per bushel, $1.70, including basket.
