The method of our President seemed to us a hopeless one at first We 'did not believe that the German people were any better than their leaders, or that there was any line of cleavage1 between' them. But there is to-day a sort of cracking and splintering going on In the Vaterland which has a hopeful sound. The civil and military Interests appear to be separating Just a little bit The wedge is "biting," the lumbermen say. A few more blows with the beetle of reason and. common sense and the closely woven structure of autocracy n.ay crack wide open.

Nor is the prospect of bisecting the Teutonic allies altogether dark. It Mr. Wilson hammers away at the divisive interests of the two great nations long enough and hard enough he may possibly burst their confederacy wide asunder. It Is the fear of German domination which he seems to he driving home. With an insatiable lust of power the Potsdam gang Is elutch-Ing the throats of the weaker Haitians of Middle Europe, Is the Hon; they are the lambs.

Count Ciernln dently trembles at It Using it for a wedge, the President is pounding away upon Its butt like a lumberjack. Faint sounds ot rupture fill the air. It Is not Impossible that before the armies come to grips upon the western front the lite line of cleavage may widen Into an abyss. We do not anticipate it however.

We do not even dare to hope It We should consider It the sin of sins to relax our military preparations for a moment We expect the Issue be tween us and the Huns to be settled tiy me stern arbitrament ot the sword. It is a solemn expectation. The thought ot that awful struggte Alls our souls with awe, but not with fear. Young Man's Chances in the Future. When Charles Sumner was elected the United States Senate Tom Benton offered him the following lugubrious commiseration: "You are unfortunate, young man, in the fact that there is no career before you, as all the great Issues have been It waa only a little while thereafter when the greatest Issue the country had ever known was sprung by the cannon which thundered upon Ft Suinter, and Sumner's chance for a great career had come.

Nor has there ever, been a day when momentous Issues were not arising, nor can there ever be. There Is an instability In the affair nf 11V. ih.t lf ui lne ocean. They never reach a state of permanent equilibrium, especially in a democratic state of government 1 and society. Conditions are made favorable to one people, only to be found working hardships for another.

Discontent is, therefore, always breaking out Those who are dissatisfied, with things as they are begin to agitate for thtngiTas they want them to be. New situations precipitate new Issues. New issues demand new settlements and afford new opportunities for the exercise of undeveloped talents. As civilization becomes more complicated problems become more difficult of solution and demand a higher form of genius on the part of philosophers and statesmen. -Consider the Issues' confronting the world to-day!

Kenney Youngest Presidents System, Rising From Ranks To His Present Position. New Head of Great Northern Earned Living as Lad By Selling Newspapers Out West.

rsciib oi.PATca lo tss aKqcran. New York, February 19. Some of those who are familiar wltH th career ofW. P. Kenney, who, according to reports which 'have been received her, has recently been elected President of the Great Northern Railroad Company, recall the time when this railway President as a lad was earning his living as a newsboy somewhere In th far West As President Kenney Is now only forty-eight years of age, it is not so very long ago when he earned his pennies by crying out his neSVpapers on the street It was not howvr, due to an early beginning ot thla kind that the lad owed successive promotions until he waa at last deemed worthy to become a successor of James J.

Hill. But as a newsboy took the first opportunity to learn telegraphy and he made it clear that he had unusual facility for controlling the telegraph key. Apprenticeship of that kind frequently leads to promotion In railway as well as in Industrial service. Some of the masters of railroad systems learned telegraphy. Jay Gould did and so did his son.

George Jay. The late James D. Layng. who was esteemed on of th great railway operating forces if th United State, mastered not only engineering. but telegraphing, and he-always, when associated with the Chicago and North western and afterward as manager of the Big Four and th Lak Shore Railroad systems, kept a telegraph apparatus on his table besld hi bed.

frequently being called at night to respond to a summons. Nearly All Began Poor. What la tru of Mr. Kenney, however, so rar as humble beginning Is concerned. Is also tru of nearly all of th great railway manager of th present lm.

President, A. H. Smith ot th Nw Tork Central, who is now th right hand of Secretary McAdoo In di recting railway movement In the Eastern division of th country, began as a neweboy at Cleveland, and Is also understood to hav later mastered telegraphy. So also Andrew7 Carnegl began his Important association with the Pennsylvania Railway Company as a telegraph operator. Whether Daniel Wlllard did or did not learn telegraphy Is known only to a few of his friends, but he began his Uf a a pump boy In a factory In Vermont and afterward was promoted until ltebecam a railroad engineer.

Occasionally a lawyer has been taken from professional practlc and placed In charge of the management of a great railroad, successfully meeting the responsibilities, as was the cas with th lata President Baer. of th 1 Reading Railroad. But It has been tru to a great extent that railway manager' wer at first masters of th telegraph. Th 1st Lwlus Tuttle, who was for yeara the President of the Boston and Main Rail road, system, knew how to us th telegraph key, having almost taught himself when he waa station agent at a small town In Connecticut Is Youngest President. Among other things that have been aid of President Kenney Is that he Is probably th youngest railroad President In the United States, at least of a great system.

For when he Is spoken ot It la customary to say of him that Is "only" 48 years of age. That however, la not a very youthful age for a railway President, although It does represent th maturity of youth. The number of birthdays, so far as railroad service la concerned. Is of no account. It la ability, energy, wf.dom, tact and great capacity for organisation work that do count and all of the.

qualltiea Mr. Kenney undoubtedly possessed. Some of those who have been called to Important posts In th corporation are. In years, young men. The President of the Schloss-Sheflleld Steel Corporation, Wallld Is understood to be only 15 yeara of age.

John H. Patterson waa under 40 when began the development of the great corporation which I now Identified by hi nam, and Charles M. Schwab waa under 40 when he became President ot th United Statea Steel Corporation. When Walter Teagle was a few weeks ago chosen President of th Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, th first remark that was commonly mad referring the selection of Mr. Teagle waa that wa only 90 years of age.

But according to the e.tlmate of ass which Edison makes aometlmes respecting himself, Mr. Teagle was twice 88 years of age. He bgan aa a boy In hla father's oil refinery business In Cleveland, Ohio. Hla recreation consisted of Intense devotion to this business. When he realised that should have technical knowledge entered Cornell, taking the four yeara' course In thre years and specialising In chemistry.

Worked During Vacation, In the long summer vacations he did not Idle or seek recreation of any other kind than' that which he found In hla father'a office. There devoted himself to. learning business, methods', bookkeeping, salesmanship, credits and thinga of that sort. Therefor when he waa graduated from Cornell he would have bven able to sreuro remunerative employment In the business offices of any large corporation.

THE DETERMINATION OF THE OFTEN UNWORTHY ATTIT Yesterday we reviewed expert opinion on th posslbl localities where the Germane may strike a blow of desperation at our western line.

To-day let us consider th attitude of our men our soldiers in France who are, we believe, to make a aecond Verdun of thla much advertised stroke, i Greatly aa Franc haa Buffered, and terrlbl aa her loss are, ah still holds and gains her ground.

Considering th British attitude cannot do better than quot a few passages from two artlclea by John Oxenham. Thla well-known novelist haa Just returned from an extensive tour along th British front and gives a clear-cut Impression of the spirit of the men. He writes: "Th spirit of th army la I one of utter disgust wjth the whole hateful business of war, and of bulldog determination to ae th matter through to a right end.

No one, I suppose. Imagines for one fraction of a aecond that It la regarded out there aa anything but an absolutely hateful business certainly no science of salesmanship, all brought him at 2S yeara or age Into the service of th Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and was only 20 when the company sent him to Europe with full authority to Install In Great Britain and upon th continent of "Europe the distributing system, familiar enough In this country, by tank wagons; but not known at all In Europe until this young man taught the lesson. At 3.1 he waa recognised to be a able a salesman, as great a master of the science of distribution as waa to be found anywhere In th world. Th war In Europe, of course, put an end to th extension of this distribution system, -at leaat 111 after the war la ended. So Mr.

Teagle camo home, waa named aa President of the imperial Oil Company of Canada, with headquarter at Toronto, and his success thsre was precisely what was expected. Therefor when E. C. Bedford retired from the Presidency of th. Standard Oil Company of New Jersey to become Chairman of th board, with on accord and all of th Director turned to thla young man of 39 year of ag.

then In Toronto, and called him to New York to take th. Presidency of th. Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Although only SO years of age th. amount of atudy and labor and th.

Intense application which Mr. Teagle gave to the oil business represented energy which, on an eight-hour-a-day basis, would have been ao distrib uted as to have covered at leaat 80 years Instead of 89. Thla la true of all of thos who, according to birthdays, ar young men when they are chosen to Important executive posts In railroad companlea or In great Industries. Holland. A RING TO END THE WAR! int-Bits.

Could the King of Spain end th war at once? According to a French writer thla should possible. In Madrid, In a certain public aquar. sanda a atatue of Our Lady of Al-mudena; on a gold chain about th neck of th. statu hanga a ring richly set with diamonds. Nobody meddles with it.

Even thieves let It sevorvly alone. The reason Is plain. For the ring Is endowed with a terrible power, as Its history proves. Alfonso XI I. mad a present of It to his wife.

Queen Mercedes. Queen Mercedes died a month later. Then th King gav the baubles to hla slater, th Infanta Maria. A faw day afterward th Infanta died. The ring, reverting to the royal giver, waa next presented to his lat Queen's grandmother.

Queen Christina, who waa dead within thre. months. After that the monarch kept th. ring In hla own Jewel casket Within th. year he waa dead.

Ever alnce then the ring haa hung about th. neck of Our Lady of Almudena. The French auggestlon is this: Why shouldn't th. present King of Spain send th ring to th. Kala.r? QUAKER QUIPS.
