Waking Up China. (Waterbury Democrat). Says Yuan Shi Kai, president of the Chinese republic, in a proclama- tion setting forth China’s posltlon as a result of her ylelding to Japan's de- | mands: “We are ashamed of the hu- miliation, but should we blame others while we ourselves are-at fault? Our own weakness has invited the result, and I feel that I am a man of little virtue and ability. However, he adds, by way'of half-apology for the gov- ernment’s action, ‘‘we have no right to stake:the. existence of a mnatio: therefore we have tn work out its sal- vation - with care There is such honest sincerity in these words that they leave no doubt of China’s hu- mitiation. While Japan seems not to haveractually gobbled up Chinese ter- ritory .o overthrown Chinese auton- omy, .she hag come so near deing both that she has dealt a bitter blow._ to the nafion’s pride. But.in the very fact that China keenly feels the in- dignity,” ‘and s ashamed of her weak- ness, there is hope for: her. It ap- pears to be the first time in China’s long history of foreign domination and .tryanny that her people have felt such a sense of political shame. It is evidence of .a new national spirit.. .. Wheén a nation comes to realize that it is “of [Mittle virtue and_ability” instead of whining, and confesses manfully that its misfor- tunes are its own fault, there is hope for it. China must yet wipe outthe shameé, not in blaod, let us hope, but in peaceful rivalry, by means of the intellectual, industrial and political progress of which the nation is bap- able. If humiliation is a spur to such progress, Japan, with the worst inten- tions, has done China a great faver. What Barnum. Missed. .(Bridgeport Telegram.) There is one weakness in our army and navy which stands -forth as a glar- ing evidence of the utter stupidity and incompetence of the log-rollers whom we send to congress and dignify by the name of statesmen. That weak- ness ig'the lack of aircraft and aero- nauts. It is true that we are now making a start. It is true that we have a few machines. But it is not true that we are making much of a start, it is not true‘that we are yet alive to the néeeds of the situation, and it is not true that we are as well equipped, aerially, as ihe smallest and most insignificant powers abroad. The shame of this does not consist alone in our fatal weakness. It lies in the usual tale of colossal govern- ment stupidity, too blind and ignorant 10 preceive the merits of American invention, The aeroplane had its birth- piace in America, Most of us can well remember the epoch-making ex- periments of the Wright brothers— the triumphant thrill that came when the; world realized #t last that man had conguered sthe air—that a fiying [ machine actually had been invented— and it lew! What a magnificent posi- tion the United ‘States government then found itself in—what a chance to lead the world, both in the develop- ment of the flying machine as an auxiliary of peace and an indispensible adjunct of war. .But did we take the opportunity ~ Never—nor while there were millions to be.spent for the de- velopment of: harbors on Great Salt Lake, the dredging of channels in mud creek and the building of govern- ment dockyards in unheard-of bayous and dismal swamps. . Oh, that Barnum lived today! He cculd take Congress—almost any con- gress—then dump out his sideshow and substitute the contents of the npational capitol, and proclaiml to the breathless public, with utter truth— “Here they are, ladies and gentlemen —the greatest collection of freaks ever gathered under one' tent!” ‘What War Is. (Bridgeport. Farmer.) The nature of war is utter inhuman- ity. It is “‘a sentence of death” passed by one nation upon the other. If any doubt the truth of the assertion, let him recollect the constan: statements from persons representing all nations in the European war, that “victory can come only when enough of the others rave been Kkilled.” The nature of war ‘has been ex- pressed by Major Stewart L. Murray, in an introduction to. Clausewitz, = as follows: ¥ “To introduce into the philosophy of war. itself a principle of moderation would be an absurdity. War is an act of violence which in -its appflcatmn krows no bounds.” It is not to be understood by such expressions, that there are no rules of war. But those rules exist for the rcore convenient conduet of the com- hat, and in some degree to prevent| ui.necessary violence, by whieh is to be understood violence nas not an adequate military result, or 'which does'not tend to defeat the enemy, or to preserve the belligerent who uses it. Investgating Money. (New York' Commercial.) The stock market is nervous and depressed at present by uncertainties regarding the war,’but the man who goes short on the United States will go broke in the long run. When the best real estdte and securities are on the bargain counter it is folly to buy unproductive property or securities that do not and probably cannot pay Wise invest- to their tors will' leave the ‘“wild cats” the speculators and will put money into something ‘that has in- trineic value. It is better ‘to keep money in a savings bank than to buy unproductive property or securities. More men grow rich through the tire- less .workings of compound interest than by speculation in substantial properties that look: cheap. Interest and taxes eat in unproductive real estate so fast that the price has to double every eight years to equal the l:mn, caused by holding it in “idle- ltemmg put together. 00D ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED.

He was a Cam- bridge University man, a college pro- fessor for six years in Mauritius East Africa and for 24 years ledd the life of a literary man in London. He was democratic in feeling and never fail- ed to impress 21l who met him with a sense of his inmate kindliness. He was an enthusiast in - promoting friendship between England and America.

Many merry Jibes with retort in kind were flung from the Sun building over its neighbor with the tall tower, and the young editor therein, when a skyscraper, later to be doubled in hight, uprose on the Tribune site. ‘Plans ‘have repeatedly been made for a lofty structuré on the Sun cor- ner, but thus far they have not ma- terialized, albeit this removal pres- ages the change.

(Providence Journal) There was a time when the Honor- able William Jennings Bryan was un- doubtedly, Nebraska's most distin- guished citizen. Even those who did not agree with him in politics would ‘probably have admitted this. But times have changed. The Governor of the State lately ap- pointed a committe to determine who is best qualified for the honor. The committee consisted of representative men, chosen without regard to poli- tics, and they now report that the title belongs to Lawrence Bruner, professor of entomology in the Uni- versity of Nebraska. Mr. Bruner, we find on copsulting a biographical dictionary is fifty-nine years old, was educated at the State University, has been employed by the Department of Agriculture at Wash- ington, is the State entomologist, and has compiled the following works: Introduction to Study of Entomolo, gy, Destructive Locust of Argentina, Locusts of Paraguay, Salt. Orthopt, of Brazil, Locusts of Peru. Also num- erous monographs, reports and papers on insects and birds. Tt seems hard on Mr. Bryan to have to take secand place to Professor Bru- ner, especially in view of the fact that the ex-Secretary himself has been devoted to the study of bugs for so many years. Nebraska’s most famous entomologist, Mr. Bryan is certainly at the head of the profession in America. However, he is entitled, even with- out a special committee to inquire into the matter, to be hafled as Nebraska's most extinguished eitizen. Watch Holland. (New Haven Union.) Holland is getting restless as her commerce is being destroyved and as her colonies are in growing danger. If she could side with Germasy, England would take these possessions, so if the Dutch abandon neutrality it will not be by going with Berlin. No doubt every possible influence Great Britain can command is being used to get Holland to join the Allies. That would give the latter a chance to get behind the Germans on the western battle front, a move that might turn the tide of war. CZECH LEADER . ARRESTED. Dr. Raschin Taken Into Custody at Prague, Bohemia. . Berlin, July 15, By Wireless to Say- ville, N.

We haven’t actually fired with bow and arrows yet, but we have come very near it. “The coolness of the average Britich goldier is often remarked by visiting officers of other armies. 1 shall als ways remember a man whom 1 saw yesterday. He had just cooked a tin of prepared food over a brazier in the bottom of a trench when a large shell burst just in front of him, scat- tering mud, water and stones in every direction. A lump of mud landed with a splash in the midst of the carefully prepared dinner, whereupoa the soldier without turning his head or taking any notice of the shell, the shock of which had been pretty se- cere, remarked, ‘I don't mind fighting for Belgium, but I'm hanged if 1 want to eat it.”" 3,208 MEN SURRENDERED.
