Whether the French brokers were actuated by purely patriotic motives or not, nobody but themselves can say, and of course they do say they were. It's just possible that they really thought their investments in Germany would be jeopardized if the Fatherland and France got into a fight. At any rate they began pulling their money out of Germany as fast as they could.

The French, as everybody probably knows, are expanding commercially and industrially on an enormous scale for a number of years and needed money to do their expanding, were about the biggest borrowers. So this sudden withdrawal of funds made evtremely bay work on Teutonic exchanges. There were near-panics in most of the important German cities and business wras tied up in the worst sort of shape. If France has been the aggressor and Germany on the defensive it goes without saying that the Germans would have fought even if they had had to do it on empty stomachs and armed with nothing but clubs, through lack of money to buy provisions, arms and ammunition for the troops. As a matter of fact, Germany was the aggressor in Morocco, however, and to avoid having a war all that the Germans had to do was to behave peaceably again.

Borseui, who was the son ot a French officer, devoted himself to the study of telegraphy, and in 1855 propounded the theory of the telephone. Being a government official, he obtained the consent of his chiefs before publishing his discovery, but this permission was given- him with the warning he had better devote his. attention to more serious matters.

From The London Daily News. The annual return of the naval expenditure of the Great Powers would make a powerful peace sermon if the figures could be driven home to every citizen. These thousand millions are so much taken from production and devoted to waste. They help to transfer a corresponding amount of labor from productive work to utter futility. And the only return which the peoples receive is a never-ending succession of crises.

They cannot get for all this monstrous sacrifice even the sense of security. What could the world have done with the 1000. millions, or we with our contribution of 366 millions? A fraction of the vast sum" would have equipped a scientific army for the war against disease. Another fraction would have built a barrier against the economic insecurity which always threatens the happiness of the laboring man. Another would have put education and the light of sweetness of sound learning within the.
