President Wilson undoubtedly i In tavor of peace, but in this he has the unani- mous support of all his country, No one wants war, and all are eager to avold it, and no coun- try wants us to be at war either with them or against them. The most active and effective support the president has had in his efforts to preserve peace has come from his political op- ponents, In his moments of trial, when the thick over the natlon's path, the president was upheld by press and publie, without regard to political division, Any effort to make political eapital out of this national impulse will not succeed, The presi- dent's administration will be tried on other {ssues, of which there are plenty, and against which the democrats are just now hopeless of preparing adequate defense.

Recent events bave taught Americans mod- esty, if not humility, When it comes to talking about war. The cultured nations of Europe have shown us such wonderful ways of obliter- ating whole armies, of permanently altering the landscape, of overwhelming crowded cities and demolishing stately vesseis, that we have lost some of our national cockiness. comes some sustenance for our self-respect, direct from a meating of chemists at San Fran- | elsco. In closing the session of m gas congress one of the experts pointed out that anything the Buropeans may have achleved is also possible for the Americans, Nay, more; he sald that by the time war could be declared on us, and the fighting actually commenced, some of the pro- cesses now being exploited, such as the use of ohlorine gas, would be obsolete, Instead of that crude, coarse meéthod of asphyxiating soldlers, we may have our cholee between arsenuretted hydrogen plain or combined with hydrocyanle acld, the effect! of Mhich would be to do away vl@ any llvxlhw rco ds completely as was army of Sennac , when “the Death Arigel An the face of the foe as he passed.” Thus is the genlus of American science and the fruits of American research brought to the relief of any apprehensions that might have been slowly consuming the over-anxious public. While yet we have our chemists and our gas mains, we are comperatively safe. Fr—— Some Apples! For Nebraska we boast about our corn and our gattle, our hogs and our alfalia, but we mast not forget to boast about our apples, Here s authentic testimony as to what are believed to be the largest apples ever growu in York county, verified by ocular exhibition of the apples, to- gether with the name and address of the grower, in the thriving town of York: There are elght apples In the oxhibit. They welgh ten pounda. e of the apples waighs twenty-two ounces and measures more than fifteen inches in cir- cumferehoe, Some apples, say we!

Such meager (nformation as seeps through from the Balkans serves to support the conclu- sion that armed neutrality is an empty phrase there, so far as malntenance of peace is con- cerned. the ‘turbulent peoples of the little countries in the hinterijand of Hurepe to any preservation of tranquility, Bulgaria’s wobilization was fol- lowed by similar preparations in Greece and the threat that Roumania would also get ready for eventualities. These have yanspired, in border clashes between Serbs and Bu!gars, which may be but the prelude to the general engagement Each si to the general war has iis special reasons for involving the Balkan nations in the struggle, aud each has connived and intrigued to gain the support sought, To the Germans it meant access to and possible ald to the Turks; to the Quadruple Entente it meant another op- portunity to attack the central allles. These ends, minor in comparison to seme of the more outstanding features of the war are important fattors in the general strategy, and the partici- pation of the Balkanus in the conflict has been inevitable for months, So the hollowness of “armed neutrality” is sounded by the actuak facts.
