Encouraged by the voices of our little Ameri cans who view the sway of the American flag as a pestilence and attribute to our army and navy the qualities of hyenas the people of Cuba looked upon the prospect of intervention from the United States with desperate fear and hate This feeling went to such' lengths that when it became known at Havana that proposals had been made for charitable contributions from the American people to feed the starving populations of the island the city was given over to riots In expression of the universal antipathy toward us and the foreboding of probable intervention All the world knows now that intervention was the only cure for the awful blight of mis rule that had so long covered the fair face of that lovely land The hostility toward our dis charge of our plain duty there was deep also in Europe and when events seemed at length to render the necessity of forcible action imperious the diplomatic representatives of six great pow ers called at the State Department to urgeppo sition to our contemplated steps and pleaded for what they called in the specious terminology of diplomacy Nor does the native antipathy toward asser tion American supremacy and new world guardianship end the parallel between Cuba and Mexico for the course we pursued there suggestssome very profitable details of procedure In the first place we declared to the world that the name of humanity in the name of civiliza tion in behalf of endangered American interests which give us the right and the duty to speak and act the war in Cuba must And when we dfd at length strike it was with express avowal that our operations had no purpose of occupation or conquest except for pacification and with the promise to withdraw when such purpose should have been accomplished Something similar to this would be our right ful and requisite course in Mexico In the name of humanity civilization and our endangered or worse than endangered interests the war in Mexico should stop and there is no power any where to stop that war and deliver that op pressed country from the hands of the spoilers but the United States Once peace and order have been established and a competent native government Installed we can withdraw as we did in Cuba The resultant prosperity and develop ment of Mexico will formone of the brightest and happiest chapters in human history

operates by chance A steam engine or a railroad coach is as safe as any place in the world as far as lightning is concerned No one has ever been struck by lightning while he was aboard a train' The business part of a city likewise is never struck by lightning Neither are tall skyscrapers ever hit It is a matter of record that insurance companies never have anv losses from lightning striking any building with metallip sides and framework of Iron and steel A steel battle ship is also safe from the bolt from the clouds as is a steel windmill tower This is be cause every one of these objects is its own lightning rod and needs no further protection than they can give themselves There is another list of things which lightning will strike It will strike a country house or a nouse in the outskirts of a town It likes to hit a barn church schoolhouse tree stack or animal especially if it is near a wire fence As for a house the safest place in a lightning storm is your iron or brass bed It Is very dangerous to stand near the bed because you are taller than the bed The reason why you are safe when lying on it is that the bed head and foot extend above your head The current will not leave the bed to pass through your body The walls and the floor of the room may be ripped to pieces but you will be safe as long as you lie still in your bed eather beds offer no protection whatever from light ning unless they lie on a metal bed If the bed is of wood and the springs are steel the wood of the bed may be split to pieces but you will nevertheless remain unharmed During the day the

the last by any means of The wave of pros perity that came in the wake of the war of 1870 begot an industrial swing known throughout Germany as the meaning the converting of large manufacturing mining and other busi ness enterprises intj stock companies whose shares were dealt in In enormous quantities at the Berlin Stock Exchange This period also brought Guido Count Henckel Baron ZuDonnersmarck' into the foreground once more There hap pened to be several coal collieries on his estate in the (Giant Mountains) of Upper Silesia prominent among them the "Koenlg and the ra Hue te two very large pro ducers Up to that time the in come from his collieries and tilled acres had not been abundant But suddenly things changed overnight Some of the count suggested to one of the foremost bankers in the Behren Berlin the possibilities contained within the rich coal veins beneath the Donnersmarck land and in a surprisingly short time the collieries on the estate were converted into a stock company but not until they had first been purchased from the count for the stupendous sum of ten million reiclismark part cash and part shares In the newly foundedcorporation Being good producers the mines soon en joyed exceptional attention among inves tors but particularly among the many speculators who as a result of (coming from no one knew where but which never failed to turn out to be profitable) fastened upon Koenig's and Laura Huette shares vlth avidltv' Ber lln financiers went wild over that stock It was nothing short of marvelous The stock rose and rose and rose until it reached the dazzling height of 400 and more ortunes were made over night that beggar description It was especially a certain class (high officialdom) that kept bankers and brokers busy with orders for Donnersmarckstock In exclusive circles it was ofienly gossiped that "Handsome was receiving an "in direct but extremely profitable" reward for his loyal work at Paris in antebellum days Cincinnati

and at important concessions forced without the firing of a shot the world's greatest military power to yield The people are being asked to vote' for him as if they should do so out of gratitude for keeping us from being swallowed upon us if any one else had been at the helm It is all very amusing to any one who stops to think Germany yielded not to President Wilson but to civilization and the realization of the fact that its submarine warfare was alienating the entire neutral world German statesmen saw that the game was not worth wht it was cost ing They went ahead than a year during which it became apparent that the allies coud be only hampered and not crippled by the under sea boats Those same statesmen alijp saw that neutral opinion was worth more both now and after the war than any result that could be accomplished by continuation of the submarine campaign Thev did not stop until they pleased and it was not the President that influenced them Does any one who has watched the progress of the war honestly believe Berlin would have yielded weapon which gave any promise tory As for keeping us out of war ing of the Lusitania what did he The friends might as well talk of having kept us of war with the Martians Germany is in no position to threaten us nor could the prospect of our taking a hand in the war be very alarming to Berlin The truth of the whole matter is that the President after a year of delay got Germany to do just what it wanted to and when it wanted to there a seat in the theater have to stand in the back with the rest of the people that came in nisi xo
