It is a fallacy to regard superior home equipment as expensive, for much that is desirable is offered at very modest prices and it represents, whatever the cost, a lifelong investment. Our August Mark-Down Sale which is now in progress with reduced prices on practically every article in our store presents a wonderful oppértunity for you to acquire any articles needed to make your - home comfortable and attractive at marked savings. Come in and see for how little money you can buy really good furniture at this store this month. WHERE" 1S HIGHER THAN PRICE.

Arimatsu, director of the Bureau of Legislation in the present cabinet and personal advisor to Count Terauchi, and Pro- fessor Mukai, former member of the faculty 6f Keio University. Professor Mukai giving reminis- cences of Dr. Michaelis, said in - an interview: *“He came to Japan, if T remember rightly, in 1885. He was rather voung and unmarried. He came out through the influence of either Prince Ito or Viscount Aoki, both since dead. He taught law and political economy. As he was still young it seems to me that his knowl- edge was not deep, but he was spir- itual and looked a man of steady character. “He was very popular with his stu- dents, who liked to attend his lec- tures.* He came first on a contract of three years, but the contract was prolonged by two more years at the desire of the school authorities. He was the man who first introduced into his school a system of military drill for boye, and this is now universally practiced at every school for boys in I this country. He was very fond of [oxerclae and often took part in games with his students. He was short, yet strong. He was a very fast runner and could beat any of his students easily, but when he was running a race with his students he never out- ran them. but always allowed one or two to finish ahead of him so as to encourage the boys.” HOUR STRIKES FOR TEUTON AUTOGRATS Hobenzollerns and Hapsburgs Must Go, Says Swiss Socialist Geneva, uly 27 (Correspondence)— ‘“The Hohenzollerns and the Haps- burge must go in order to have a dur- able peace in Europe,” declared Jean Sigg, member of the Swiss National Council ,chief of the Socialists in Gen- eva and one of the most influential members of his party in Switzerland, 1in an interview with the Assoclated Press correspondent. “The hour of the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs has sounded”, he con- tinued. “The tide of democracy which is sweeping across Europe will also sweep them away, not perhaps during the war, but soon afterward. Millions of men will not agree, will not allow in future, that their destinies, their lives, should be ruled by a handful of autocrats. In this sense this terrible war has wrought good; it has opened the eves of the people. The Russian Emperor has gone, more Emperors will follow.”" Mr. Sigg has the greatest faith in neéw Russia, if allowed to rebuild its o6wn regéneration without foreign, especially German influence. He con- siders the Stockholm Conference more or less a farce owing to the divergent views of the socialist delegates from the different countries. He flouts the work at Petrograd of Robert Grimm, the Swiss Socialist who endeavored to make peace between Germany and Russia, who, he says, never represent- Rifle factories may not be the busiest places in the United States in these war days, but it is a safe guess that few other places are _busier.

A peace treaty now—I saw this as a neutral—would be all in the favor of Germany, a status quo ante. The Al- lies, backed now by America, rightly will not permit this in the cause of justice and humanity. The social questions after the war will be aiffi- cult to solve—but wait first until the war is finished.” Settling Disputes in Rome. Rome, July 29.—The fashionable crowd at the cafe on the Corso Um- berto were gazing up at the huge screen on the building opposite, where pictures of the celebrities of the day— Cordona, Sonnino, Joffre, ‘Wilson, Lloyd-George—were being thrown on the screen. It is the chief diversion these hot afternoons. Joffre was pop- ular and Wilson had his admirers. Then came the picture of a man with a great beard. This caused tremend- ous laughter. But the very climax of demonstrative approval came when the picture of a thin-faced man with a workman's cap on his head was thrown on the screen. There was a huge ovation for this strange face. “And who is the man with the beard?’ asked the American visitor. “Why that is Maffle. Is it possible you don’t know Maffle.” “And who is the man ir the work- man's cap?” “That is the carpenter, Tordelli. You dont mean to say you haven’t Maffle is a member of the Ttalian Chamber of Deputies who made a speech in favor of peace, saying it was really not to Italy’'s interest to carry on the war. Tordelli was for war, and felt that the peace speech must be rebuked. He accordingly waylaid Maffle on the tramway as he came from the Chamber. Maffle had an enormous beard which was his pride and best known characteristic Maffle stepped on the car, Tordelli deftly operated a pair of scissors be- fore the surprised deputy knew what was happening. Then with a shock beard in his hand Tordelli disap- peared while Maffle was left beardless. Tordelli was arrested and his trial soon began. All Rome became inter- ested, the question of peace and war divided sentiment into two camps. ‘When the trial came all Italy awaited the fate of the carpenter. He pro- duced the beard at the trial, and it was duly entered by the court as an ex- hibi Thereupon Maffle applied for the return of the beard, but the court held it had been separated from him and was now in possession of the state. Tordelli suddenly became a popular hero, as defender of the war, while Maffle had champions for his causge and his héard. Their picture are the features of all screens. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt.
