bring about a better understanding be
tween ourselves and the belligerents
will doubtless be tiie conclusion ut any
of our citizens who have studied them.
While the previous attitude of both
Britain and Uermany have been such
as to suggest, beforehand, what would
lie the nature of their replies, the pub
lic generally will doubtless feel some
what disappointed that there was not
at least some concession to the open
split of humanity and justice contained
in the American representations. We
rather expected that both nations
would be a little inclined to regard i
what was fair not only to the United
States but to themselves as well. It
seems, however, that we reckoned be
yond our host. Still, as remarked, this
was not entirely unexpected. Through
out the great struggle, both sides have
been little inclined to regard with favor
anything which stood in the way of
their personal desires. The most
sacred things have been basely sub
ordinated to selfish aims and purposes
and nothing of honor lias been spared
being trodden upon when it offered an
obstacle to file advancement of their
cause. Both sides have recklessly
abandoned upright dealings and cast
lu the winds every sacred attribute of
humanity to the end that they may
triumph over an equally graceless foe
in this unholy struggle. From their
point of view, that attitude is doubtless
just and right. Both Germany and ,
Britain believe that they are fighting
for their very existence and in the face
of that fact we should doubtless apply
the golden rule and make allowances
for their belief even if their attitude
toward ourselves unhappily strains our
patience to the very limit. Whatever
may be our rights they manifestly can
"■■-r— 1 --*
not be forced to accept or conform to
them unless It should be their desire
to do so and we can gain nothing for
our pains if we proceed with any hut
the most patient methods. We may
he disappointed—even angry— that
our efforts have been negated with
such scant ceremony, hut it must be
remembered that patience will ac
complish what force cannot achieve
and we should, therefore, quietly pro
ceed about the business of keeping up
the pressure for justice and the right.
The present situation is admittedly
strained, hut there Is, nevertheless, no
cause to worry. There is no more than
a most remote possibility that we will
ever come into active conflict with
either of the two powers, as such an
eventuality could only occur after
every resource of diplomacy and good
judgment had been exhausted. We can
see no Justice in the view of eithe:'
Germany or Britain but the only way
the situation can lie changed is by the
exercise of infinite tact and patience
It might he suggested that a little ex
tension of the Mexican policy of
watchful waiting might be profitably
employed toward our ethical opponents
of Europe. At least the results can
be no less than has been the case in
Mexico. While the issues Involved
in' of far greater moment than in th«»
case of the Mexicans, we have n i Just
cause to he one whit more impatient
with Germany or Britain than with our
fractious neigt hors of the so’'th. es
pelcally when patience seems the or*v
remedy for what we complain of
Whether or not this nation as a
whole is being advantaged in trade by
the European war, it is apparent that
it has become the repository of large
sums of money sent here by Eurooean
investors who prefer the stability of
peace to tile risks of Investment In the
war-torn nations. Some of the recent
activity on the New York stock ex
change is due to this cause. Par from
sacrificing the existing Arnericnn stock
holdings, many European investors are
retaining them and Investing their
surplus funds on the American mar
kets. It is also true that mnnv of t'ne
itaple stocks may now he purchased
it extremely low prices, promising
ioth prompt payment of dividends
ind a profitable rise in values. There
s also some activity in good income
iroperty in the larger cities through
lie investments of foreign capitalists.
V notable example of the friendship
if foreigners for American investments
s the recent purchase of a hiring of
lot houses in New York City by Vic
.'■riano Huerta, the former president
if Mexico, who Is said to have acquired
property worth $1,500,000 through the
uirchase of equities to the amount of
1300,000. While the foreign war has
unsettled our foreign trade and stim
ulated it only in spots, it has brought
us a distinct asset in the stability of
investment that the nation is able to
show at a time when so large a portion
Of the civilized world Is engaged in
destroying values.—Ex.
AN INCH OF RAIN.
Very few persons—even those who
are well informed on most matters—
know how much an inch of rain is.
The average man or woman probably
has an idea that an inch of rain is a
mere trifle on nature's part. This is
entirely wrong. In reality it Is a good
big rallfall more than falls in most
places in an average week.
A rainfall of one ineli means literally
that tiie amount of water descending
in a particular shower would cover the
surrounding territory to a depth of one
inch, providing it did not run away or
soak Into the ground.
An inch of rain coming down on a
single acre of land would fill more than
800 barrels of 45 gallons capacity each.
This amount of water would weight
nore than 110 tons, or nearly a quarter
if a million pounds.

BROKE RECORD AND HIS BACK
JUMPING FROM BROOKLYN
BRIDGE.
The Herat American craze for thril
lers Is chargeable with another man’s
death. Henry Clark, si machinist or
the Pennsylvania railroad, residing ai
West Philadelphia, possessed with thf
idea of gaining notoriety that he mighi
be an actor in the movies and get in
the public spotlight, jumped from thf
Brooklyn bridge recently.
Clark made the record for achieving
the leap from the highest spot on this
lofty structure that ever mortal has
dived from. Yes, lie broke the record;
but he broke his back doing it and did
not come up again from the depths of
the East river, it is 216 feet from the
siKit on the cables whence he made his
ill advised dive to the surface of the
water. Otto Eppers. n Brooklyn youth.
June 20, 1911, leaped from a hlght of
1S5 feet to the river and survived .and
Chirk was ambitious to break tills rec
ord.
Twice had he Jumped from bridges
and received no injury and he was sure
he could negotiate the feat nt New
York in safety. What made his end
more trggie was the presence of his
wife, who had tried vainly to dissuade
him from the attempt. Waving his
hand at her af'er he had scrambled up
the cable to elude tile bridge police who
were climbing after him. Clark must
have dived before he gained his poise,
as his body turned in the air and he
struck the water on his back.
Despite the fatal result, it is probable
that others will not be looking to risk
tile same feat. They had been doing
it ever since Steve Brole made his
first dive and lived to tell the ta'e.
WONDERFUL RECOVERIES
OF TWO WAR VICTIMS
LONDON- Two among the Hritish
prisoers of war returned by Germany
as totally disabled have nlready re
covered from their afflictions. A blind
man sees and a dumb man talks.
Lance Corporal Fowkes. of the 18th
Hussars, was shot In the head at Mons
and was pronounced permanently blind
by the Germans. Rut he has regained
his sight as the result of a special
X-ray treatment.
The news of Corporal Fowkes’ re
cover had secretely started the gos
sip going in Qupen Alexandra hospital
when the patients wer#> startled, or
shocked by the sharp exclamation of
‘Oh. Hell!” The words came from a
patient who had been struck dumb by
concussion when n shell burst near
He had unwittingly put his hand on
a hot water pipe, and the shock of the
burn restored him to speech.
THE SCHOOL HOUSE PIG.
The school house pig is a new one.
No; it is not the two-legged aert, the
boy who never has enough. It is a sure
enough, real, live, equeallng porker. It
is a recent product of extension work
in^Georgla rural schools.
The school house pig is a squealer
that some generous farmer gives to
the “deestrict.” The big boys build a
pen under the shade pi some trees on
the school house grounds. The little
boys go into the woods and collect pine
needles and make the bed. Others
build a shelter over the corner of the
pen and construct a feed trough. The
girls, for surely the girls are interested,
collect all the scraps from the lunch
baskets at noon and feed them to the
big. The pupils also bring to school,
iccasionally, an ear of corn for their
bet pig. On Saturdays and Sundays a
boy living near the school does the
'ceding. Some of the schools barbecue
he pig at the end of the year, others
bold an auction and with the money
>uy library books or something for the
school room.
