I/' (BY RUDYARD KIPLING.) ]
I
You need not go far to sec what i: ;
would moan to England if Germany
wins tho war. Iu 'Belgium at this j
hour Boiterai million l'*>:;ians are
making war material or fortifications '
for their conquerors. They are glv- i
on enough food to support life as
the German thinks it should be bup- !
ported. By tho way, I believe the j
United States of America supplies a
large part of that food.
In return they are comncllcd to
work at the point of the bayonet. If
they object"* they are shot. Their fac
tories, their iouscs and tholr public
buildings have long ago been gutted,
and everything in them that was val
uable or useful has been packed up,
and sent into Germany. They have
no more property and iio more rights
thau cattle*, and thuy cuanot lift a
hand to protect the honor of their
women. And lus.* than n year ago
they were one of t'ic most civilized
and prosperous of the nations of the
earth.
Therc has been nothing like the hor
ror of their fat0 ia all history, and
this system is in full working order
within .">(? miles of the English coast.
Where 1 live I can hear tic guns that
arc trying to extend it. The same
system exista in such parte of France
and Polar, d as are in Germai hands.
But whatever lias been dealt out to
Belgium, Franco and Roland will be
England's fate tenfold If we fail tn
subdue the Germans. That wc shall
be broken, plundered, robbed aid en
slaved like Belgium will be but the
first part of the mutter.
There are special reasons in tho
'Otrman nMnd why we should be
morally and mentally shamed and dis
honored beyond any other people?
why wc should be degraded till those
who survive may scarcely dare to;
look each other in the face. Be per
fectly suro, therefore, that if Ger
many is victorious every refinement
of outrage which Is within tho com
pass of the German imagination will
be Inflicted oa us in every aspect of
our lives.
Over and above this, no pledge wc
can offer, no guaranty wo can give,
will bo accepted by Germany as bind
iug. She has broken lier own most
solemn oaths, pledges and obligations,
and by the very fact of her existence
she is bound to trust nothing and to
recognize nothing except that of im
mediate supsrlor force, backed by her
inimitable cruelty. So, you see, thero
are no terms possible.
Realize, too, if the allies arc beal.ou,
there will bo no spot on the globe
where a soul can escape from the
domination of this enemy of mankind.
Tiero has been childish talk that the
western hemisphere would offer a re
fuge from oppression. Put that
thought from your mind. Jf tho
allies wero defeated, Germany would
not need to send a single battleship
over the Atlantic. She would issue
an, order and it w .uld be obeyed.
Civilization would b.t bankrupt and
tho western world would be taken
over with the rest of tho wreckage by
Gormany, the receiver. There is no
retreat possible. Vhcro are no terms
and. no retreat in tnis war.
Tho German has spent quite as
much energy in the last 4fi years pre
paring for war as_wo havo in con
vincing ourselves that wars should
not he prepared for. He has started
this war with ? magniflcont equip
ment, which took him time and heavy
taxation to get together. That equip
ment we have had to face for the last
10 months. Wo have had to face
more. The German went into this
war With a mind which had been care
fully trained out of the idea of every
moral sense or obligation?private,
public or international. He doos not
recognize the oxlstence of any law,
least of all those ho has subscribed
to himself in making, war against com
batants or non-combatants?men, wo*
mo and children. He has done, from
his own point of view, very woll, in
All mankind bears witness today
that there is no crime, no cruelty, no
abomination that the mind of man can
conceive which the German has not
perpet .od. is not perpetrating, and ,
will not perpetrate it lie Is allowed
to go on. Those horrors and perver
sions wero not Invented by him on
the spur of the moment.. TUsy were
arranged long beforehand?theu very
outlines ar0 laid down in tbo German
war book. Thoy aro part of the sys
tem in which Gormany bos been
scientifically trained.
It Is tho essence of that system to
mako such a heH of the countries
/ where her armies set foot that any
terms she may offer will seem like
heaven to the people whoso bodies
she has defied and whose minds she

Wo shall not be saved by argu
ment. . Wu shall most certainly not
be saved by hanging on to our pri
vate Jobs and businesses. Our own
atreugtu and our own will alone can
save us. If these fail the alternative
for us Is robbery, rape of the women,
starvitlon, as a prelude to save us.
So long as an unbroken Germany ex
ists, so long will lite on this planet
be Intolerable not only for us and
our ??Wtni, hut for all humanity.
And rhomantty knows it. At pres
ent six European nations are bearing
the burden of war. There Is a fringe
of shivering neutrals almost under
the German guns who look out of
their front doors and see, an they were
meant to see, what has been done to
Belgium, the German guaranteed neu

RULE EUROPE

E VICTORS IN WAR!
I But, however, the world pretends j
j to divide itself, there are only two
I divisions in the world today?human
j beings and Germans. And the Ger
I man knows it. Human be-in?s have
, long ago sickened of Jim ad every
thlg connected with him. of all he doe?
Mid of all he says, thinks or believes.
From the ends of the earth to Uio
lends of the earth they desire nothing
j more greatly than that this unclean
I Laing should be thrust out from the
' membership and the memory of the
nations. The German's answer to
the world's loaning is: "I am strong,
I kill. I shall go on killing by all
means in my power till I have im
posed my will on all human beings."
He gives no choice. He leaves no
Uilddlq way. He has reduced civili
zation, and all that civilization means,
to the simple question of kill or be
killed.
Up to t!i0 present, as far as wc can
find out, Germany has suffered 3.000,
000 casualties. She can suffer anoth
er 3,000,000 aud. for aught we know,
another 3,000,000 after that. Wo
have no reason to believe that sho

seems to me that she mast either win
or bleed to death o'.most where her
lines ruu today. Therefore we and
our allies must continu? to pass our ,
children through fire to Moloch un-1

is where we stand and where Ger
many stands.

Gotton Consump
at Excels of 1
Cotton consumption during last
year exceeded 17.OOU.000 bales, say
Reuskorf, Lyon &. Co.?Relief that
viBible supply amounts to 5,000,000
or G.000.000 bales is erroneous.?In
a circular entitled "Did We Consume
17,000.000 Bales," Renskorf, Lyon &
Co. say:
On /prll IT?. 1915, we wrote a cir
cular entitled "Seventeen Million
Bales Consumption." This circular
received more commendation and
more criticism than the usual mar
ket letter. Both the commendation
end the criticism pleased us. Those
who commenced the letter read its i
text carefully and found that 17,000,
000 consumption was the "consump
tion of manufactured articles."
Thoso who criticised either read
the title and consigned us to Matte. -
wan, an asylum for the criminal in
sane, or else wcro not capable of fol
lowing our lino of thought Our pre
diction has been verified, i'he actual
consumption of articles made of cot- \
ton from Aug.- 1, 1014, to Auk. L
1915, has surely exceeded 17,000,000
bales, and wc think any unbiased
mind will now so concede.
Secretary Hester's Figures.
Secretary Hester of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange tolls us that
the spinners of the world manufac
tured into cloth or various other ar
ticles M,13:1,000 bales of cotton.
Whatever reduction has taken place
In the stocks of Uio manufactured ar
ticle must be added to these figures
to arrive at the total consumption of j
manufactured cotton good3, ob it:
lows:
Manufactured by the spinner, 11.-1
134,000 bales. Add not reduction In j
stocks of manufactured articles.
In the hands of spinners?
In the hands of retailers?
In the hands of jobbers?
ist Means in Belgium

much younger. Coal mining in the
United States la considered the hard
est and most distasteful form of labor,

Flop Back."
Thun Hho invented hr "flop back,"
"Wliy, I Just sit on the wall of the
lank with my right leg under nie and
then spring backwards." said she.
"I think I gain most of my power
from my ankle and my hands. It is
easy when *-ou know how."
ition Estimated
7,000,000 Bales
In the bands of actual consumers?
In the shapo of.gunpowder and
othor war supplies?
Total?
Therefore, any fair-minded critic
must concede that the total con
sumption of articles made of cottcu
during the past 12 months exceeds
17.000.000 "bales. The reduced hold
ings of manufactured cotton goods
in the Teutonic countries, in HusBia,
In France. In South America and In
the Orient must bo; amazing. The
difference between the amount of
gunpowder existing today and that
which existed one year ago today Is
stupendous, and every pound of gun
powder contains 40 per cent of cotton.
Our April 18 circular, if you care
to read It again, n^t only predicted
this 17,000,000 bale consumption and
destruction of articles made of cot
ton, but it also predicted.
I 1.'An acreage of 30,000.000. The
answer was 31,585.000 acres.
I 2. Wo predicted final record of ex
' ports to the other countries In excess
of 8,000,000 bales. The answer was
8,512,000 bales.
13. We predicted a visible supply oi
3,200.000 to 3,500,000 at the end of
the season. The answer was 3,282,
000.
I 4. Wo called the amount In farm
ers' hands 1.000.00C and tho crop
15,750.000. a total of IC.750,000. Tho
answer was. farinera' hands, 1,500,
i000, crop 15.200,000; total, 10,700,
000.
Any Crop Will Be Absorbed.
Wo recognized the fact that the
now crop and the demand for Its
product is a new question, but we
feel sure that the "rapidity of cotton
goods passing into smoke," has never,
In all of history, been so rapid as in
tho past 12 months, and when replen
ishment of reduced stocks becomes
necessary any crop the world can
raise or manufactura will bo ab
sorbed. If. tho war continues, we feel
sure the "death rate" of articles made
of cotton will make alarming Inroads
mi the stocks of the unmanufactured
article.
; In olden tlmos, articles made of
cotton might bo worn foy. years. To
day .their transit to the waste pile or
grave Is measured by weeks, not
years.
! The layman bas been led to think
that au excess of (i.000,000 or 0,000,
ooo bales of unsalable cotton exists
in the visible supply. It would be
wise for them to read tho year-cod
figures of the various exchanges and
make comparison with previous years.
Mr. Hester gives the following fig
ures:
Visible supply: 1916 1914.
American .3,282,000 1,671,000
Other kinds .. ..11.420.QOO 1,510,000
Total. 4.702.0OO 3,181.000
If you go deeper than this, Into the
Invisible supply. American mills hold
about 500.000 more than last year.
European mills about 1,000.000 less
and the American farmer about 1.
300,000 more than a year ago; The
grand total would be In round fig
ures, about 2.500,000 bales more than
on this date last year.
Under those condlti jjs, we are be
ginning ~ to market a mw rr jp, .and
although we may b->, tor a time,
denied Ihe market? of Oormany and
Austria for that cotton, wo are not
suffering the same financial paralysis
that existed a year ago.mr :* the
South compelled to bny her food
stuffs, as she did last year.
The general, if not the unanimous,
opinion of the moment by bulls and
bears alike seems to be that fl.e Sep
tember-October pressure lo sell spots
wltl put prices to 7 1 -2 cents to S 1-2
dents, at which price everybody will
buy, cotton and *veryb<?ly got rich;

PUT SULPHUR ON
AN ITCHING SKIN
AND END ECZEMA
Bays this old-time Eczema rem
edy ii applied like
cold cream.
Any irritation or breaking out on the
face, arms,, leg? or body when aeoom
panied by itching, or when the skin is
dry aad fereriah, can be readily over
come try applying u. little bold-sulphur,
says a noted dermatologist
He states that bold-sulphur instantly
allays the angry itching and irritation
and soothes and heals the Eczema right
up leaving the skin clear and smooth.
Bold-sulphiT has occupied a secure posi
tion for many years in the treatment
of cutaneous dtx rdcra because of its
parasite-destroying property. Nothing
has ever been found to tuke Its place
in treeing the irritable and inflam
matory skin affections. While not al
ways establishing a permanent eure It
never fails to subdue the itching irri
tation and driva the Eczema away and
it ia often years later before' any erup
tion again appears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
drug store as ounce of boid-sulphur,
which is applied to the affected part* ia
the same moaner as an ordinary cold
