And, paridoxically as it may seem, they know less about Europe. Before that memorable day in July 1914 when a pistol shot rang ‘round the world, Americans were wont to view Europe as a Summer resort for wealthy American tourists, or a continent composed of father- lands, motherlands, and other lands of more or less importance; depend- ing always upon certain bonds of re- lationship. From geographical standpoint, Europe was Europe, just as Africa and Asia are viewed as Africa and Asia today, or as America is America. all different. Those, we will call them former Eu- ropeans, who once made their homes in the various countries of the Old World, have their own ideas about Europe and these ideas in turn have become impressed upon the American mind in such a fashion that when BEurope is mentioned to a man with sympathies he in | terms of England and France. versely, the friends of Germany know their Europe as something different from the first version. So, when vari- ous people view the attitude of the Inited States in its relations to Europe they see different things. And the manner in which this greatest of all neutrals has conducted itself during the terrible struggle is either pleasing or displeasing according to the view- point. There are those who feel deep sense of shame because we kept out of the war after the on of Belgium. There are those we should have plunged into the struggle the moment the Lusitania was sunk. There are those who hold the United States should have drawn the sword mails were stolen on the high seas.

How much of the increase is in German prisoners? Petrograd news is often puzzling.—Brooklyn Bagle. Anyway when you buy at the home merchant you don’t have to pay for the expense of the cabaret singers, violin concerts, rest rooms, and palm gardens that the metropolitan store has to conduct to attract attention.— Meriden Journal. Certainly Dr. Dernburg is good Ger- man authority as to whether Presi- dent Wilson has pursued the right course or not in handling the interna- tional problems. He says the presi- dent has handled them just as it was his duty to do.—New Haven Journal- Courier. “It is evident that the democrats are calling on their candidate to threaten war in cage he is not re- elected.” says Chairman Willcox of the republican national committee. This suggests a disabled sense of humor in the chairman’s make-up. The president, of course, is not threatening war but pointing out quite accurately that the logic of much of the republican criticism of the administration’s foreign policy is war with one or another or more than one foreign power. And, equally, of course, Mr. Wilson knows it. The Eternal Play. Third act of the eternal play!

(New York World) the republican bos for a great ralroaid strike to paralyze industry and promote disor- der is shown by the anger with which they assail the methods by which such a disaster was averted. How anxious they were for war with Mexico is proved by the bhitterness with which they criticize every meas- ure that preserved the peace. How thoroughly committed representatives in congres surrender of American was revealed by cast when the How ardentl hoped their s were to the ights at sea the votes which they McLemore and Gore resolutions were under consideration. The republicans have had many disappointments in their day, but grievous than these. Yet if things had come to pass as they wished, they would have been no less hostile to the present administration. The strike, the war and the humiliat- ing retreat from the submarine con- troversy, all of which they encourager, would have been seized upon at once as the best of reasons for turning | the democrats out of power. Unpatriotic partisanship of this kind is always;in favor of public calami- ties until it gots dhem; after that, it seeks to embarrass political oppon- ents charged with the conduct of af% fairs who are compelled to face the consequences. The three great complaints of - the republicans in this campaign are that President Wilson has maintained peace with Mexico, compelled the greatest of military empires to re- spect American rights at sea, and headed off a panic-breeding strike. It is for these achievements that the country is asied to punish him. Oats Are Best Food For Horses. Farm and Fireside says that sults show oats are the best horses can eat. The article says: “In comparison with any of the grain rations, oats are the best single grain ration for both mature horses and colts and for rgules. There is no cther grain so safe to feed and from which such satisfactory results are chtained. The stockmen of Clemson college advise, however, that it is ah- solutely necessary that oats be clean and entirely free from mold in order to obtain best results in feeding to colts. ‘Musty’ oats are dangerous for colts. “A fair allowance of oats for colts after weaning is as follows: “Up to one year of age, from two to three pounds daily. From one to two years, four to five pounds daily. From two to three years, seven or eight pounds daily. “The hest way to feed oats Is in the whole grain, the expense of crush- ing not heing justified unless colts suf- fer in teething, in which case it is ad- visable to feed steamed crushed oats, which are very nourishing and appe- tizing. It is always wise to feed plen- iy of roughage to growing colts. Feed- ing concentrated feeds in excess is dis- couraged, as it is important that the digestive tract he developed by dis- tending it during the growing periog. TUngainly, large-barreled colts may an- roy the feeder, but this condition al- ways disappears with maturity. “Proper feeding of colts should al- ways be accompanied by plenty of outdoor exercise for the ycung animal. Tn no way can a colt be ruined so easily and surely as by liberal feeding with lack of exercise. Experience proves that close confinement and the raising of good colts do not go to- gether.” Te- food On San Francisco Bay. (New York Sun). It is comforting to learn that San Francisco, and its neighbors in Ala- meda county are in such a comfort- able state of finance that they can afford to build a $22,000,000 connect- ing bridge across five miles of San Francisco Bay, their common harbor. Yet those who are familiar with the social aspect developed in generations of Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley commuters on their mighty ferry- boats, double the size of those New Yorkers are familiar with, will ques- tion if something of loss whl not be charged against the gain when rapid electric bridge cars make the twenty or twenty-five minute fer ride a thing of the lamented past How those lower deck restaurants, not to mention the snug little bars, will be missed!

Chops, steak ham and eggs cooked to order in sight and while you wait; coffee, rolls hot or cold served with admirable speed by smiling old negro cooks who know their patrons by name, who need not to ask if they want their eggs turned, their coffee mellowed by hot milk or cream. And upper roomy those commuters on the decks on clear days, in the cabins in the rainy seasons, talked politics, Shakespeare, the musi- cal glasses—what not! Many an election settled there. Those com- muters were the despair of San Fran- and Alameda county political how “Those ferry politicians,” the bosses used to say, “knock the devil out of our calculations.” True, many a time, Ana sometimes put the devil in. And they were great fellows for art Literature, too, naturally, for there was the Berkeley influence.
