ILL-TI>fED MILTARISM
Preparedness for war is re
ceiving attention in Washing
ton Just now. Having been told
tixat American battleships are as
obsolete as flintlock muskets, a
congressional committee has insti
gated experiments with torped*
shells. Realizing the inferiority
of the United States army's avia
tion corps according to European
standards, the .war department
has obtained appropriations and In
vited young, unmarriqd officers to
volunteer for the hazardous service
at increased pay. Now a Kansas
representative and military affairs
committeeman purposes to urge the
equipment of the army with ar
mored automobiles.
It must be confessed that the
moment is not psychologically pro
pitious. Americans are singularly
out of sympathy with militarism at
present. Frankly, they are pro
foundly disgusted with Europe'3
ready lapse into savagery, which
they Attribute chiefly to that same
preparedness and the military
bureaucracy behind it. The Amer
ican stomach is overloaded with
war. A people already suffering
derangement of its business affairs,
threatened 'with a pseudo war t»x.
importuned to contribute to hos
pital corps and Christmas ships and
penalized in various other ways by
a war to which it is not a party
is not in any frame of mind to wel
come preparations for a war of its
own.
A nation may become involved in
war whether it hopes and prays for
peace or not, whether it prepares
for war or not. There can scarce
ly be any question of the wisdom
of keepiug the country iu a rea
sonable state t,f preparation. Pre
dictions that the present conflict
will be the last great war as yet
have no more substantial basis than
optimism. But the chance of
America's Implication in war is no
greater now than usual. Rather,
it is less, as the issues have been
pretty well joined with this coun
try left out, and it is to the interest
of all the combatants that she re
main out to the end.
The military enthusiasm evident
in some quarters at Washington is
distinctly ill-timed and regrettable
N'o one can regret its inopportune
ness more than will the level-head
ed citizens who, while hoping and
praying and working for peace, do
not close their eyes to their coun
try's need of adequate weapons of
defense. /
Somebody with an eye for *thfc
eternal fitness of things will yet
name a new brand of Turkish ciga
rettes or a new cloth hat after
Przemysl.
In spite of the name of the J
River Ourcq something more im- ]
portant than a dog fight has been
taking place on its banks.
Pretty tough on those South
em congressional districts that
were crossed out of the "pork bar
rel" bill. There is no disappoint
ment like failure to receive money j
from home.
Anyhow, speaking of disarma
ment, the great powers won't have
so many men to buy guns for after
this war is ended.
And why shouldn't Italy and
Turkey desire to keep out of the
scrap? They are just through hav
ing a little one of their own.
This may be an off year for Na
poleons but, just the same, the
generals on the job are hustling
the Little Corporal's mortality rec
ords.
The best authorities are nearly j
unanimous in the opinion that
what Mexico needs Is a wise despot, j
But wise despots seen to be as j
scarce as frog's hair.
More and higher honors are due
the memory °f our forefathers.
They knew enough to emigrate
from the old country.
Though, the war appears to be
going on just the same, the day of
prayer for peace may have had a
beneficial effect on those who
prayed.

ETKUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his letters as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty of time. With
P him it wasn't a case of saving time hut of killintr time.
P But we don't live so long nowadays and most cf us have
| gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty years. Wc
| have found that the time sazvd and the labor saved by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who ha? writing to do.
■ Typewriting is two or three times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, i t looks better, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
' • The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
Remington
JUNIOR
Typewriter
Think of it! Here is a first-class typewriter, a genuine Reming
ton, carrying the iron-clad Remington guarantee and embody
ing just the qualities you need.
The price of the Remington Junior is 550.00, cash with
order. How does it differ from the standard hundred-dollar
Remingtons? Only smaller, and lighter, with fnver parts— just
the machine you need for the simpler uses, such as manuscript
and letter writing.
i For S55.00 we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of S5.00 down and $5.00 a month.
Better seize this opportunity and buy now. Cut out the
attached coupon and send it to us with 55.00 in cash, check
